The increase in cash was attributable to proceeds from the private placements and from the sale of shares of Yorbeau Resources Inc. (“Yorbeau”), which was offset by the cost of operating activities.

Mount Jamie North Property

On June 3, 2020, the Company announced it entered into an option agreement with Bounty Gold Corp. (the "Vendor"), a private company, to purchase a 100% interest in the Mount Jamie North Property (the "MJ Property") located in Red Lake, Ontario. The MJ Property consists of certain mineral claims located in Todd Township, Red Lake Mining Division, District of Kenora, Northwestern Ontario.

Under the terms of the option agreement, the Company has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the MJ Property by making the following cash payments and share issuances:

  • An initial cash payment of $7,500 (paid) and the issuance of 150,000 common shares of the Company (issued and valued at $14,250) by the seventh day following acceptance of the TSXV (the “Closing”);

  • A cash payment of $7,500 (paid) and issuing 150,000 common shares (issued and valued at $16,500) within 180 days after the Closing; and

  • A cash payment of $10,000 and issuing 200,000 common shares within one year after the Closing.

The Company can, at its option, accelerate the cash payments and common share issuances described above. All common share issuances by the Company will be subject to a statutory 4-month hold period as per Canadian securities law.

In addition, the Company will pay a 2.0% Net Smelter Return royalty (the “NSR”) to the Vendor on commencement of commercial production. The Company will have the right, at any time and upon 30 days’ notice, to purchase 1.0% of the 2.0% NSR for $1,000,000.

The Company has completed an initial field geological examination, including an outcrop and trench sampling program. The highest assay reported was from a grab sample of a 10 cm wide quartz vein that

P a g e | 5

Stone Gold Inc. (Formerly CR Capital Corp.) Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Discussion dated: April 20, 2021

returned 5.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and appears to be within the same stratigraphic package as the neighboring Mount Jamie and Rowan Mines.

A drone magnetic geophysical survey was completed which covered the interpreted favorable westnorthwest geological trends over the Property. This survey has outlined areas of magnetic folding, offsets and washout which have aided in ranking areas for follow-up exploration. A lithogeochemical sampling program was conducted on the property. Drilling was recommended for the winter of 2021 in order to test these targets.

The Company sourced drilling quotes and approved a budget of $350,000 to drill 1,000 metres of diamond drilling in the first quarter of 2021.

Coppercorp – Glenrock Gold Property

On March 16, 2018, the Company announced that a 43-101 Technical Report was filed under the Company's SEDAR profile at at www.sedar.com on the 100% owned claims acquired from Superior Copper Corporation on March 5, 2018, and is situated in Ryan, Kincaid, Palmer, and Nicolet townships in the Province of Ontario.

The claim holdings, named the Coppercorp – Glenrock Gold Property (the “CG Property”), consist of 921 unpatented mining cell claims totaling approximately 18,770 hectares, and is situated on the eastern edge of the Midcontinental Rift (the “Rift”) with most of the Rift lying beneath Lake Superior. Numerous pastproducing and present deposits have been discovered and mined around Lake Superior associated with the Rift, including the prolific native copper deposits of the Keweenawan Peninsula, Michigan from which over six million tonnes of copper were recovered between 1845 - 1972. The CG Property straddles the north-northwest trending unconformity between the Proterozoic Keweenawan Group rocks to the west and the Batchawana Greenstone Belt of the Archean Superior Province to the east. Multiple Keweenawan felsic intrusions and breccia bodies hosting copper, silver, cobalt and gold mineralization intrude the Archean Metavolcanic rocks throughout the CG Property and in the vicinity of the unconformity.

Since 2018, research of previous exploration within the contiguous southeastern portion of the CG Property, separately named the Glenrock Gold Property, supported by the recent evaluation of surface rock and soil sample surveys, suggest the presence of a significant orogenic gold mineralizing system hosted by the Archean rocks of the Batchewana greenstone Belt.

Highlights of the recent exploration of the CG Property are the identification of multiple new exposures of surface gold mineralization in the Glenrock West and Northwest occurrences extending 300 metres west along strike to the west from the historic Glenrock Main and North occurrences. In total from the 20182020 evaluations, 81 grab, composite grab and chip rock samples obtained over an area of 400 by 350 metres, encompassing the four occurrences, returned an average Au value of 1.55 g/t Au ranging from 0.003 to 13.4 g/t Au. It is noted that grab samples are selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

Exciting results include chip sampling returning an average 1.32 g/t Au over five metres across a rusty pyritic shear zone within silicified mafic volcanic rocks between the Glenrock West and Main occurrences and five 0.5 metre composite grab samples over six square metres of the Glenrock Northwest occurrence reporting an average grade of 5.82 g/t Au. The results of a soil survey over the same area outline Au anomalies coincident and supportive of the rock sampling results. Both the rock and soil sampling results plus the sampling of previously unanalyzed historic core combined with a geological re-evaluation indicate the major gold mineralizing system is open at depth, to the west into a swamp and to the east into an esker.

Stone Gold Inc. (Formerly CR Capital Corp.) Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Discussion dated: April 20, 2021

The gold-enriched area is spatially coincident with historic ground IP high chargeability and resistivity anomalies that were identified in a 1997 survey, and which are open-ended to the west and east. The geophysical, geological plus recent and historic geochemical results was compiled into a three-dimensional exploration model that have generated multiple priority, previously untested, drill targets. These targets are recommended for testing this year with the purpose of defining a major near-surface gold resource body.

The Company has received an Exploration Permit from the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines to complete diamond drilling on its CG Property. A consultation process with the Batchewana First Nation has resulted in their approval to conduct subsurface exploration on their traditional territory.

Within the larger Coppercorp portion of the CG Property, two prospects of copper mineralization are of particular interest which require follow-up exploration with the purpose of defining a major copper resource.

The first is within the five km long north-northwest trend of the past-producer Coppercorp Cu (+-Ag-Au) Mine which is hosted in deep seated fractures in Proterozoic mafic volcanic rocks. Recent results confirmed the presence of high-grade Cu-Ag-Au from surface grab sampling of chalcocite mineral occurrences reporting up to new 15.5% Cu, 51.7 g/t Ag, and 0.3 g/t Au along this trend from Coppercorp Mine, which remains essentially unexplored since the 1960s when the mine was in operation. This is supported by historic diamond drilling in 2013, up to 500 metres south-southeast along this trend from the mine which reported multiple Cu-Ag intersections including 4.9 metres of 7.27 % Cu and 145 g/t Ag and 1.9 metres of 2.88% Cu and 5.4 g/t Ag, respectively.

The second is from the Kincaid Cu Breccia area along the north-northwest striking Keweenawan-Archean unconformity where the clearing of logging roads in 2018 resulted in reveal of a newly exposed copper mineralized showing. Six composite grab samples obtained from along 40 metres of surface exposures along the side of the new road, located 700 metres north northwest along strike from the Kincaid Breccia Showing, returned an average 0.47% Cu with assays of up to 1.07% Cu plus multiple anomalous grab samples of occurrences in the area reporting values of up to 1.7% Cu. A 2014 diamond drillhole situated 800 metres to the west intersected at depth, in spatial association with the Keweenawan – Archean contact, 97 metres of 0.63% Cu including 0.5 metres of 16.4% Cu, 3.1 g/t Au and 11 g/t Ag. Follow-up geophysical surveying is needed over this overburden covered area in order to define near-surface drill targets that will lead to these types of intersections in the Kincaid Breccia area.

Based upon the “Independent Technical Report, Coppercorp Property, Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Prepared by Trevor Boyd, PhD, P.Geo” dated December 5, 2017 and filed on www.sedar.com on March 5, 2018, the proposed exploration plan and budget outlined below is separated into two phases, phase one to be conducted when capital is sourced to be followed by phase two, if phase one is successful. The plan and budget from the report remains largely unchanged for 2021, except perhaps for the additional work planned for reprocessing and re-modelling of historic geophysical data for the Coppercorp and Glenrock areas of the Property. The review, surface outcrop and soil sampling, and modelling of the Glenrock Prospect is largely complete and drill ready.

Trends and Economic Conditions

Management regularly monitors economic financial market conditions and estimates their impact on the Company’s operations and incorporates these estimates in both short-term operating and longer-term strategic decisions. Beginning in Q2 of 2017 and until recently, equity markets in the junior resource exploration sector have been very difficult. The Company was able to raise $1 million in July 2020 and $0.5 million in December 2020 and has begun exploring on both properties.

Stone Gold Inc. (Formerly CR Capital Corp.) Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Discussion dated: April 20, 2021

Due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, material uncertainties may arise that could influence management’s going concern assumption. Management cannot accurately predict the future impact COVID-19 may have on:

  • Global commodity prices;

  • Demand for gold and the ability to explore for gold;

  • The severity and the length of potential measures taken by governments to manage the spread of the virus, and their effect on labour availability and supply lines;

  • Availability of government supplies, such as water and electricity;

  • Purchasing power of the Canadian dollar; and

  • Ability to obtain funding.

At the date of this MD&A, the Canadian federal government and the provincial government of Ontario have not introduced measures that have directly impeded the operational activities of the Company. Management believes the business will continue and, accordingly, the current situation has not impacted management’s going concern assumption. However, it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

Apart from these factors and the risk factors noted under the heading "Risk Factors”, management is not aware of any other trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Financial Highlights

Financial Performance

Year ended December 31, 2020, compared with year ended December 31, 2019

The Company’s net loss totaled $478,812 for the year ended December 31, 2020, with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.03. This compares with a net loss of $109,102 with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase of $369,710 in net loss was principally because:

  • Exploration and evaluation expenditures increased by $126,359 to $151,524 in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was attributable to expenditures on the MJ Property and the CC Property. Refer to the “Mount Jamie North Property” and “Coppercorp Property” sections above for more details;

  • Professional fees increased by $21,226 to $92,245 in the year ended December 31, 2020, from $71,019 in the year ended December 31, 2019 due to higher legal fees incurred during the current period;

  • Share-based compensation increased by $77,801 to $97,561 the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase is due to the timing of expensing the estimated fair value of stock options granted in prior and current periods. The Company expenses its stock options in accordance with the vesting terms of the stock options granted;

  • Management compensation increased by $42,000 in the year ended December 31, 2020, from $nil in the year ended December 31, 2019 due to payments to management during the current period compared to $nil during the comparative period;

  • Director fees increased by $32,000 in the year ended December 31, 2020, from $nil in the year ended December 31, 2019 due to director fees paid during the current period compared to $nil during the comparative period since the directors of the Company have waived their director fees to conserve cash during the year end December 31, 2019;

  • Business development fees increased by $44,248 in the year ended December 31, 2020, from $nil in the year ended December 31, 2019 due to fees paid for the development of the Company’s website and investor presentation during the current period compared to $nil during the comparative period;

  • The Company recorded an unrealized gain on marketable securities of $35,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to an unrealized gain of $165,500 during the year ended

Stone Gold Inc. (Formerly CR Capital Corp.) Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Discussion dated: April 20, 2021

December 31, 2019. The decrease in unrealized gain of $130,000 is due to the change in fair value of Yorbeau shares;

  • The Company recorded a realized loss on marketable securities of $32,750 during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a realized loss of $128,625 during the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in realized loss of $95,875 is due to the sale of 1,000,000 shares of Yorbeau for gross proceeds of $27,250 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the sale of 4,000,000 shares of Yorbeau for gross proceeds of $111,375 for the year ended December 31, 2019;

  • Premium on flow-through shares increased in the year ended December 31, 2020, to $27,614 compared to $1,922 for the same period in 2019. The Company has adopted a policy whereby proceeds from flow-through issuances are allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits based on the difference between the quoted price of the existing shares and the amount the investor pays for the shares. A liability is recognized for this difference and is extinguished by crediting premium on flow-through shares on a pro-rata basis as the expenditures are made; and

  • All other expenses related to general working capital expenditures.

Three months ended December 31, 2020, compared with three months ended December 31, 2019

The Company’s net loss totaled $202,086 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01. This compares with a net loss of $33,373 with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.00 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase of $168,713 in net loss was principally because:

  • Exploration and evaluation expenditures increased by $37,991 to $57,775 in the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was attributable to expenditures on the MJ Property and the CC Property. Refer to the “Mount Jamie North Property” and “Coppercorp Property” sections above for more details;

  • Professional fees increased by $12,183 to $22,937 in the three months ended December 31, 2020, from $10,754 in the three months ended December 31, 2019 due to higher legal fees incurred during the current period;

  • Management compensation increased by $14,500 in the three months ended December 31, 2020, from $nil in the three months ended December 31, 2019 due to due to payments to management during the current period compared to $nil in the comparative period;

Stone Gold Inc. (Formerly CR Capital Corp.) Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Discussion dated: April 20, 2021

  • The Company recorded an unrealized gain on marketable securities of $nil during the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to an unrealized gain of $17,500 during the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in unrealized gain of $17,500 is due to the change in fair value of Yorbeau shares;

  • The Company recorded a realized loss on marketable securities of $nil during the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to a realized loss of $17,625 during the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in realized loss of $17,625 is due to the sale of 500,000 shares of Yorbeau for gross proceeds of $12,375 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to nil for the three months ended December 31, 2020;

  • Premium on flow-through shares increased in the three months ended December 31, 2020, to $16,043 compared to $1,922 for the same period in 2019. The Company has adopted a policy whereby proceeds from flow-through issuances are allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits based on the difference between the quoted price of the existing shares and the amount the investor pays for the shares. A liability is recognized for this difference and is extinguished by crediting premium on flow-through shares on a pro-rata basis as the expenditures are made.

  • All other expenses related to general working capital expenditures.

The Company’s total assets as at December 31, 2020 were $1,096,842 (December 31, 2019 - $66,615) against total liabilities of $191,459 (December 31, 2019 - $64,215). The increase in total assets of $1,030,227 resulted from cash proceeds received from private placements, cash proceeds received from exercise of options and cash proceeds received from the exercise of warrants, which was offset by cash spent on operating costs. The Company has sufficient current assets to pay its existing liabilities of $191,459 as at December 31, 2020. Liabilities include flow-through shares liability of $149,293, which is not settled through cash payments. Instead, this balance is amortized against qualifying flow-through expenditures that are required to be incurred before December 31, 2021.

Pursuant to the terms of a flow-through share agreement, the Company is in the process of complying with flow-through contractual obligations to subscribers with respect to the Income Tax Act (Canada) requirements for flow-through shares. As of December 31, 2020, the Company is committed to incurring approximately $929,000 in Canadian Exploration Expenditures (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) by December 31, 2021 arising from the flow-through offerings.

The Government of Canada has proposed extending the deadline to complete the necessary spending requirements from the issuance of flow-through shares raised in 2019 and 2020 by one year respectively. If the proposal is passed, the Company will have until December 31, 2022 to spend these amounts.

Liquidity and Financial Position

As at December 31, 2020, the past activities of the Company were primarily financed through equity and the exercise of stock options and warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 280,000 options and 120,000 warrants were exercised. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed non-brokered private placements (July and December 2020) for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,500,000.

As at December 31, 2020, the Company had $1,075,884 in cash (December 31, 2019 – $31,389). Cash increased due from proceeds from the private placements and proceeds from the sale of Yorbeau shares, proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants, which was offset by exploration expenditures and operating expenses.

P a g e | 17

Stone Gold Inc. (Formerly CR Capital Corp.) Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Discussion dated: April 20, 2021

Amounts payable and other liabilities decreased to $42,166 as at December 31, 2020, compared to $61,387 at December 31, 2019. The variation is primarily the result of fluctuations in amounts payable and other liabilities, which are usually paid as and when they become due.

The Company has no operating revenues; and therefore, must utilize its current cash reserves and other anticipated transactions to meet ongoing operating activities.

As of December 31, 2020, and the date of this MD&A, the cash resources of the Company were held with one Canadian chartered bank.

The Company had no debt as at December 31, 2020, and its credit and interest rate risk is minimal. Amounts payable and other liabilities are short term and non-interest bearing.

The Company raised capital of $1,000,000 in July 2020 and $500,000 in December 2020 and therefore, the Company will be able to pay its overhead costs, liabilities and conduct exploration expense for both properties.

See "Risk Factors” below and “Trends and Economic Conditions” above.

Cash Flow

At December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $1,075,884 compared to $31,389 at December 31, 2019. The increase in cash of $1,044,495 from the December 31, 2019 cash balance of $31,389 was a result of cash outflows in operating activities of $405,568 which was offset by cash provided by investing activities of $27,250 and cash provided by financing activities of $1,422,813. Operating activities were affected by adjustments for share-based compensation of $97,561, unrealized gain on marketable securities of $35,000, realized loss on marketable securities of $32,750, premium recovery on flow-through shares of $27,614, shares issued for acquisition of mining property of $30,750, shares issued for professional services of $4,750 and net change in non-cash working capital balances of $29,953 because of an increase in amounts receivable and other assets of $10,732 and a decrease in amounts payable and other liabilities of $19,221. Investing activities consisted of proceeds from sale of marketable securities of $27,250. Financing activities consisted of proceeds from private placements of $1,500,000, proceeds from options exercised for proceeds of $14,000 and proceeds from exercise of warrants of $12,000, which was offset by share issue costs of $103,187.

New Accounting Standard Adopted During the Year

IFRS 3, Business combinations (IFRS 3")

Amendments to IFRS 3, issued in October 2018, provide clarification on the definition of a business. The amendments permit a simplified assessment to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition.

The amendments are effective for transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The adoption of the amendments had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements ("IAS 1")

Amendments to IAS 1, issued in October 2018, provide clarification on the definition of material and how it should be applied. The amendments also align the definition of material across IFRS and other publications.

P a g e | 18

Stone Gold Inc. (Formerly CR Capital Corp.) Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Discussion dated: April 20, 2021

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and are required to be applied prospectively. The adoption of the amendments had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

IAS 8, Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors ("IAS 8")

Amendments to IAS 8, issued in October 2018, provide clarification on the definition of material and how it should be applied. The amendments also align the definition of material across IFRS and other publications.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and are required to be applied prospectively. The adoption of the amendments had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

Future Pronouncements

IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”) was amended. The amendments clarify that when assessing if a contract is onerous, the cost of fulfilling the contract includes all costs that relate directly to the contract – i.e. a full-cost approach. Such costs include both the incremental costs of the contract (i.e. costs a company would avoid if it did not have the contract) and an allocation of other direct costs incurred on activities required to fulfill the contract – e.g. contract management and supervision, or depreciation of equipment used in fulfilling the contract. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2022.

IAS 1 was amended in January 2020 to provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based solely on a company’s right to defer settlement at the reporting date. The right needs to be unconditional and must have substance. The amendments also clarify that the transfer of a company’s own equity instruments is regarded as settlement of a liability, unless it results from the exercise of a conversion option meeting the definition of an equity instrument. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2023.

Financial Instruments

Financial risk

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk).

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash. Cash is held with a major Canadian chartered bank, from which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if its access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities or sale of assets. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $1,075,884 (December 31, 2019 - $31,389) to settle current liabilities of $191,459 (December 31, 2019 - $64,215). The Company

P a g e | 19

Stone Gold Inc. (Formerly CR Capital Corp.) Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Discussion dated: April 20, 2021

notes that the flow-through share liability which represents $149,293 of current liabilities balance is not settled through cash payment. Instead, this balance is amortized against qualifying flow-through expenditures which are required to be incurred before December 31, 2021. All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as liquidity.

The Company's ability to continually meet its obligations is uncertain and dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and securing additional financing.

(iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity price.

  • (a) Interest rate risk

The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt at December 31, 2020. The Company's current policy is to invest surplus cash in high yield savings accounts and guaranteed investment certificates issued by a Canadian chartered bank with which it keeps its bank accounts. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the creditworthiness of its Canadian chartered bank.

  • (b) Foreign currency risk

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk is $nil.

  • (c) Price risk

The ability of the Company to acquire new properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of certain minerals. The Company’s risk management objectives are to ensure that business and financial exposures to risk that have been identified and measured are minimized using the most effective and efficient methods to reduce, transfer and, when possible, eliminate such exposures. Operating decisions contemplate associated risks and management strives to structure proposed transactions to avoid or reduce risk whenever possible.

Sensitivity analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following movements are reasonably possible over a twelve-month period:

(i) Cash is subject to floating interest rates. The Company receives low interest rates on its cash balances. As such, the Company does not have significant interest rate risk.

(ii) The Company does not hold balances in foreign currencies to give rise to exposure to foreign exchange risk.

(iii) The Company does not have marketable securities as at December 31, 2020. As such, the Company does not have significant price risk.

Share Capital

As at the date hereof, the Company has 25,777,335 common shares, 10,830,000 warrants and 1,495,000 stock options issued and outstanding. The Company, therefore, has 38,102,335 common shares on a fully diluted basis.

Outlook

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of properties for the mining of precious and base metals. Management is also investigating some mineral property acquisitions.

The Company will need to secure additional financing to meet its ongoing obligations; however, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. See “Risk Factors”.

Risk Factors

The operations of the Company are speculative due to the high-risk nature of its business, which is the acquisition, financing, exploration and evaluation of mining properties. The risks below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also impair its operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Nature of mineral exploration and mining

The Company recently acquired the Coppercorp property from Superior Copper Corp. The Company’s viability and potential success is based on its ability to develop, exploit and generate revenue from mineral deposits. The exploration and evaluation of mineral deposits involve substantial financial risk over a long period of time, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While discovery of a mine may result in substantial rewards, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to establish reserves by drilling and to construct mining and processing facilities at a site. It is impossible to ensure that the current or proposed exploration programs on properties in which the Company has an interest will result in a profitable commercial mining operation.

The operations of the Company are subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incident to exploration and development of mineral properties, any of which could result in damage to life and property or the environment and possible legal liability for any and all damage. The activities of the Company may be subject to prolonged disruptions due to weather conditions depending on the location of the operations in which the Company has interests. Hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological structures, rock bursts, pressure, cave-ins, flooding or other conditions may be encountered in the drilling and removal of material. While the Company may obtain insurance against certain risks in such amounts it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities could exceed policy limits or could be excluded from coverage. There are also risks against which the Company cannot insure against or, which it may elect not to insure. The potential costs that could be associated with any liabilities not covered by insurance or in excess of insurance coverage or associated with compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capital outlays, adversely affecting the future earnings and competitive position of the Company and, potentially, its financial position.

Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size and grade, proximity to infrastructure, financing costs and governmental regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, infrastructure, land use, importing and exporting and environmental protection. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately

predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Fluctuating prices

Factors beyond the Company’s control may affect the marketability of copper, gold or any other minerals discovered. Commodity prices have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. The effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted.

Permits and licenses

The operations of the Company require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. The Company believes that it holds all necessary licenses and permits required for carrying out the activities it is currently conducting under applicable laws and regulations, and that it is complying in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits. However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in regulations and in various operating circumstances. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at its projects.

Competition

The mineral exploration and mining business is competitive in all its phases. The Company competes with numerous other companies and individuals, including competitors with greater financial, technical and other resources than the Company, in the search for and the acquisition of attractive mineral properties, the acquisition of mining equipment and related supplies and the attraction and retention of qualified personnel. The ability of the Company to acquire properties, purchase required equipment, and hire qualified personnel in the future will depend not only on its ability to develop its present properties, but also on its ability to identify, arrange, negotiate, select or acquire suitable properties or prospects for mineral exploration, source suitable equipment and hire qualified people. There is no assurance that the Company will continue to be able to compete successfully with its competitors in acquiring such properties or prospects, sourcing equipment or hiring people.

Environmental and climate change regulation

The operations of the Company are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that means standards, enforcement, and fines and penalties for noncompliance, are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the profitability of future operations. Such impacts may have an adverse effect on the capital and operating cost of the Company’s operations or those of its future customers that may materially affect future operations.

Estimates of mineral resources may not be realized

The mineral resource estimates published from time to time by the Company with respect to its properties are estimates only and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of minerals will in fact be realized or that an identified resource will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) deposit that can be legally and economically exploited. In addition, the grade of mineralization ultimately mined may

P a g e | 22

Stone Gold Inc. (Formerly CR Capital Corp.) Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Discussion dated: April 20, 2021

differ from that indicated by drilling results and such differences could be material. Production can be affected by such factors as permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations, inaccurate or incorrect geological, metallurgical or engineering work, and work interruptions, among other things. Short-term factors, such as the need for orderly development of deposits or the processing of new or different grades, may have an adverse effect on mining operations or financial performance. There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small-scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large-scale tests under on-site conditions or in production-scale operations. Material changes in resources, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of projects. The estimated resources described herein should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of future.

Dependence on key personnel

The Company is dependent on the services of its senior management and a small number of skilled and experienced employees and consultants. The loss of any such combination of individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

Limited financial resources

The existing financial resources of the Company are not sufficient to bring any of its properties into commercial production. The Company will need to obtain additional financing from external sources in order to fund the development of its properties. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on favourable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Company’s properties.

Extreme volatility

The Company has identified the extreme volatility occurring in the financial markets recently as a significant risk for the Company. As a result of the market turmoil, investors are moving away from assets they perceive as risky to those they perceive as safe. Companies like the Company are considered risk assets and as mentioned above are highly speculative. The volatility in the markets and investor sentiment may make it difficult for the Company to access the capital markets in order to raise the capital it will need to fund its current level of expenditures.

Covid-19 Risks

The worldwide emergency measures taken to combat the COVID-19 pandemic may continue, could be expanded, and could also be reintroduced in the future following relaxation. As governments implement monetary and fiscal policy changes aimed to help stabilize economies and capital markets, we cannot predict legal and regulatory responses to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health issues and how these responses may impact our business. The COVID-19 pandemic, actions taken globally in response to it, and the ensuing economic downturn has caused significant disruption to business activities and economies. The depth, breadth and duration of these disruptions remain highly uncertain at this time. Furthermore, governments are developing frameworks for the staged resumption of business activities. As a result, it is difficult to predict how significant the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any responses to it, will be on the global economy and our business. We have outlined these risks in more detail below.

Strategic & Operational Risks

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact our financial condition in future periods as a result of reduced business opportunities via acquisitions and dispositions of exploration and development properties. The uncertainty around the expected duration of the pandemic and the measures put in place

P a g e | 23

Stone Gold Inc. (Formerly CR Capital Corp.) Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Discussion dated: April 20, 2021

by governments to respond to it could further depress business activity and financial markets. Our strategic initiatives to advance our business may be delayed or cancelled as a result.

To date, our operations have remained stable under the pandemic but there can be no assurance that our ability to continue to operate our business will not be adversely impacted, in particular to the extent that aspects of our operations which rely on services provided by third parties fail to operate as expected. The successful execution of business continuity strategies by third parties is outside our control. If one or more of the third parties to whom we outsource critical business activities fails to perform as a result of the impacts from the spread of COVID-19, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

Liquidity risk and capital management

Extreme market volatility and stressed conditions resulting from COVID-19 and the measures implemented to control its spread could limit our access to capital markets and our ability to generate funds to meet out capital requirements. Sustained global economic uncertainty could result in more costly or limited access to funding sources. In addition, while we currently have sources of liquidity, such as cash balances, there can be no assurance that these sources will provide us with sufficient liquidity on commercially reasonable terms in the future. Extreme market volatility may leave us unable to react in a manner consistent with our historical practices.

Market Risk

The pandemic and resulting economic downturn have created significant volatility and declines in financial and commodity markets. Central banks have announced emergency interest rate cuts, while governments are implementing unprecedented fiscal stimulus packages to support economic stability. The pandemic could result in a global recessionary environment with continued market volatility, which may continue to impact our financial condition.

Disclosure of Internal Controls

Management has established processes to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support representations that they have exercised reasonable diligence in that (i) the financial statements do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it is made, as of the date of and for the periods presented by the financial statements, and (ii) the financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, financial performance and cash flow of the Company, as of the date of and for the periods presented.

In contrast to the certificate required for non-venture issuers under National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”), the Venture Issuer Basic Certificate does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) and internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in NI 52-109. In particular, the certifying officers filing this certificate do not make any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of:

(i) controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

P a g e | 24

Stone Gold Inc. (Formerly CR Capital Corp.) Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Discussion dated: April 20, 2021

(ii) a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s generally accepted accounting principles (IFRS).

The issuer’s certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in the certificate. Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost-effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in NI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.

Subsequent Events

(i) On January 12, 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with EMX Royalty Corporation ("EMX"), pursuant to which the Company will acquire certain mineral claims in Red Lake, Ontario from EMX.
