Business of the Company

The principal business carried on and intended to be carried on by the Company is the exploration of mineral resources on the Company's principal property, being the Blue Property, which is in the exploration stage.

To date, the Company has raised $8,139,901 through the sale of common shares.

Blue Property

Property Acquisition Details

On December 10, 2018, the Company signed an agreement with Zimtu Capital Corp. ("Zimtu"), a related party, whereby the Company can earn a 100% interest in and to the Blue Property, in British Columbia. For its participation in the transaction, the Company will pay $100,000 (paid) and issue 3,000,000 common shares of the Company in staged payments (1,000,000 shares with a fair value of $50,000 issued during the year ended September 30, 2019, and 2,000,000 with a fair value of $225,000 were issued during the year ended September 30, 2021). Zimtu will retain a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty. The Company has the right to buy back 1% of the NSR within 5 years of the agreement by paying $1,000,000. The original agreement was amended June 10, 2021, to change the date of the final payment from December 10, 2021 to June 15, 2021. On January 7, 2022, the Company and Zimtu signed an agreement to remove the 2% NSR royalty from the original and amended agreements.

In August 2020, the Company acquired 8 additional claims in and around the Company's Blue and Silver Lime properties from Zimtu. The cost to acquire the claims amounted to the cost of staking paid by Zimtu ($23,025). Zimtu will retain a 2% NSR royalty, of which the Company shall have the right to buy back 1% within 5 years of the agreement by paying $1,000,000. The addition of these claims expanded and consolidated the Blue Property and the Silver Lime Property into one contiguous property that will continue to be called the Blue Property. On January 7, 2022, the Company and Zimtu signed an agreement to remove the 2% NSR royalty from the original and amended agreements.

In June 2021, the Company acquired 6 additional claims in and around the Company's Blue and Silver Lime properties from Zimtu. The cost to acquire the claims amounted to the cost of staking paid by Zimtu of $26,095 plus 20% interest for a total of $31,314.

During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company staked an additional 82,257 ha of land, increasing its land package to approximately 108,337 ha. The cost of the staking was $140,950.

On April 6, 2022, the Company acquired a 100% interest in two mineral tenures, consisting of approximately 3,311 Ha, known as the Atlin Lake Claims, at a cost of $10,000 (paid) from an individual. The two tenures cover the western side of the Willison glacier which is thought to potentially be the extension of the causative intrusion at the Silver Lime Project.

Exploration update

On January 9, 2023, the Company announced assay results for channel samples collected from Pete's CRD Target – a newly discovered high-grade carbonate replacement Target located 1.25 KM north-northwest of the Grizzly CRD Target at the Silver Lime Porphyry-CRD Project.

On October 31, 2022, the Company announced assay results from selected high-grade carbonate replacement mineralization (CRD) encountered in two drill holes located 2km apart at the Silver Lime Porphyry-CRD Project.

On October 11, 2022, the Company announced the intersection of nearly continuous porphyry-style sulphide mineralization over 471m at the Sulphide City Target and that the Company had rushed analyses for select CRD intervals from multiple holes at the Silver Lime Porphyry-CRD Project.

On September 14, 2022, the Company announced the intersection of significant massive and semimassive sulphide carbonate replacement and skarn mineralization in every drill hole completed at the Grizzly Target, part of the Silver Lime Porphyry-CRD Project.

Diamond drilling at the Sulphide City Target also intersected a Mo-Cu-bearing porphyry believed to be the source feeding the >250 high-grade carbonate replacement mineralization (CRM) occurrences observed at surface throughout the Silver Lime Porphyry-CRD Project. The newly discovered porphyry has been affected by high temperature potassic alteration overprinted by intense, texturally destructive phyllic alteration and hosts impressive Mo±Py±Cu porphyrytype mineralization and veining that increases with depth**.**

On August 8, 2022, the Company announced assay results from the first two diamond drill holes completed at the Laverdiere Fe-Cu-Au Skarn- Porphyry Project**.**

On July 19, 2022, the Company announced the completion of 1,299 metres of HQ-sized diamond drilling at the Jackie Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu Carbonate Replacement (CRD) Target, part of the Silver Lime Project.

On June 17, 2022, the Company announced the completion of two diamond drill holes totalling 671 metres at the Laverdiere Skarn-Porphyry Project. On June 29, 2022, the Company announced the completion of three additional diamond drill holes totalling 784 metres at the South Adit area of the Laverdiere Skarn-Porphyry Project. On July 7, 2022, the Company announced the completion of its Phase I diamond drilling campaign at the Laverdiere Skarn-Porphyry Project. 1,806 metres of HQ-sized diamond drilling over six holes were completed at the Laverdiere Skarn-Porphyry Project during the 2022 Phase I campaign. 2022 drilling efforts successfully confirmed and extended high-grade Fe-Cu-Au skarn, Cu-Mo endoskarn, and associated Cu-Mo porphyry style mineralization for 850 metres along the western flank of Hoboe Creek, and up to 400 metres depth, situated between the historic North and South Adits.

On May 31, 2022, the Company mobilized crews for the Company's inaugural 5,000 metre diamond drilling campaign at its district scale Blue Property, targeting high-grade mineralization over numerous drill sites at the Laverdiere Skarn- Porphyry Project.

On May 17, 2022, the Company announced results and interpretations from the 2021 versatile timedomain electromagnetics (VTEM) geophysical survey completed at the Silver Lime carbonate replacement project on the central Blue Property in the Atlin mining district of northwest British Columbia.

On February 14, 2022, the Company announced channel sample results from 10 carbonate replacement and skarn, massive-to-semi massive sulphide occurrences at the Sulphide City and Grizzly Targets during Phase 2 of the 2021 Exploration Program carried out at the Blue Property (the "Property"), Atlin Mining District of British Columbia:

On January 31, 2022, the Company announced channel sample results from five outcropping carbonate replacement massive sulphide occurrences at the Jackie Target, part of the 6.6km long by 1.8km wide Silver Lime carbonate replacement deposit ("CRD") prospect within the Company's 100% controlled Blue Property (the "Property"), in the Atlin Mining District of British Columbia. Sawn channel samples were collected as part of the Company's 2021 maiden field campaign at Silver Lime. Additional 2021 channel sampling results from the nearby Grizzly Discovery Zone and Sulphide City Target are expected to return in February 2022.

As a first pass attempt to evaluate the grade of replacement sulphide mineralization at Jackie, five sulphide bodies, all outcropping within an area measuring 400 x 380 meters, were channel sampled at an average sample interval of 0.5m. All five sulphide bodies yielded high-grade base metal-silver results.

The remaining 2021 channel sampling results from the Grizzly Discovery Zone and Sulphide City, both CRD targets nearby Jackie, are expected to be released in February 2022.

On December 21, 2021, the Company reported that petrographic analysis indicated a multi-stage Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu-Bi Carbonate Replacement System and has begun drill tendering at the Blue Property.

About the Blue Property

The Blue Property consists of two main historical mineral prospects ('Laverdiere' and 'Silver Lime') in a total contiguous land package of approximately 111,648.8 ha (~1,116 km²). The project is located 48 km southwest of the town of Atlin, British Columbia. In 2018, the Company sent a geological team to the Blue Property for preliminary surface sampling. Three areas of skarn exposure with massive and disseminated sulphide were observed along the western side of the Llewellyn Fault Zone, known as the Laverdiere Prospect. A total of 28 grab samples were collected and sent for analysis with values of up to 8.46% copper, 1.57 g/t gold and 46.5 g/t silver reported.

The Silver Lime Prospect is located just 10 km southwest of the Laverdiere Prospect, and encompasses two significant historical mineral occurrences, the Falcon and Jackie Showings. The Falcon Showing was discovered by Carmac Resources in 1990 and consists of several northwest trending limestone beds and the Jackie showing consists of a series of altered quartz veins. Mineralization often consists of galena, sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and stibnite. The system is exposed in multiple areas on the property with one more significant outcrop that is visible for 25 metres with strike extensions covered by talus. Individual mineralization can be seen up to 2.2 metres wide. To the northwest, a quartz-feldspar porphyry breccia contains smaller quartz veins with semi-massive arsenopyrite and stibnite. Sample 88339 taken from a 2.20 metre vein system assayed 3.3 g/t gold, 2,641 g/t silver, 0.15% copper, 2.5% lead and 3.32% zinc, 5.0% arsenic and 2.56% antimony (ARIS 21162*).

In 2018, the Company, as part of a helicopter reconnaissance program, prospected the Silver Lime Prospect and collected 8 samples. The results confirmed the historic work of Carmac (1990), having returned values of 1.16 g/t gold, 913 g/t silver, 12.45% zinc and >20.0% lead.

The Silver Lime Prospect has the potential to represent a carbonate replacement deposit model (CRD). Massive sulphide mineralization occurs in limestone and biotite-muscovite-sericite schists near the contacts between the units. Large zones of limonite alteration, cut by alaskite and hornblende porphyry dikes, surround these occurrences. The lenses appear to be widest near the porphyry dikes. Several faults follow the general direction of the dikes, suggesting structural control on the mineralization. Sulphides at the Jackie Showing often comprise galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite. The mineralization can be up to 30 metres long and 6 metres wide. The smaller occurrences host sphalerite and galena mineralization and the larger occurrences vary mineralogically along length. Galena, quartz and calcite dominate the northwest changing to pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite in the centre and border areas (Minfile 104M 031*).

The 2021 prospecting and sampling programs have focused on resampling the Silver Lime Prospect and evaluating the newly staked ground by Core Assets Corp. to the west of the prospect to better understand how the mineralization is zoned with regards to the source.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of the date of this report, the Company has raised $8,139,901 to further the Company's mineral properties and for general working capital.

The Company will continue to require funds to further the exploration of its resource properties. As a result, the Company may have to continue to rely on equity and debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will always be available to the Company in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company.

The Company's financial success will be dependent on the economic viability of its resource properties and the extent to which it can discover and develop new mineral deposits. Such development may take several years to complete and the amount of resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine.

All of the Company's properties are in the exploration or development stage only. Development of one or both of the properties will only follow upon obtaining satisfactory results. Exploration and development of natural resources involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties. There is no assurance that the Company's exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore. The long-term profitability of the Company'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.

The Company's revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the extraction and sale of copper, cobalt, silver and gold from the properties. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control such as international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations and interest rates.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company has total assets of $6,663,208 (September 30, 2022: $7,101,757). The primary assets of the Company are cash of $482,116 (September 30, 2022: $1,140,779), exploration and evaluation assets of $5,847,698 (September 30, 2022: $5,692,258), prepaid expenses of $240,804 (September 30, 2022: $42,170), reclamation bonds of $37,200 (September 30, 2022: $37,200), promissory notes of $38,717 (September 30, 2022: $38,717), and sales tax and other receivables of $16,673 (September 30, 2022: $150,633). The Company has no long-term liabilities and has working capital of $713,295 (September 30, 2022: $994,247) as at December 31, 2022.

Cash Provided Used in Operating Activities: Cash used in operating activities during the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $284,271, compared with $185,749 used in operating activities during the three months ended December 31, 2021. Cash was mostly spent on advertising expenses, transfer agent and filing fees, administration fees, legal fees, and salaries and consulting fees.

Cash From Financing Activities: Total cash from financing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $70,300, comprised of $71,000 provided from the issuance of common shares (2021: $63,000), $700 used in share issuance costs (2021: $nil), and $nil used for share subscriptions (2021: $31,500).

Cash Used in Investing Activities: Total cash used in investing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $444,692 used in exploration and development of its mineral properties (2021: $36,105).

Global Risks

In early 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus), which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus. The Company's ability to raise the additional capital required for Phase II may be affected by the current uncertainties of the global market.

Industry and Economic Factors Affecting Performance

As a mineral exploration and development company, Core's performance is affected by a number of industry and economic factors and exposure to certain environmental risks and regulatory requirements. These include metal prices, competition amongst exploration firms for attractive mineral properties, the interest of investors in providing high-risk equity capital to exploration companies, and the availability of qualified staff and equipment such as drilling rigs to conduct exploration.

Competitive Conditions

The mineral exploration industry is competitive, with many companies competing for the limited number of precious and base metals acquisition and exploration opportunities that are economic under current or foreseeable metals prices, as well as for available investment funds. Competition is also high for the recruitment of qualified personnel and equipment. Significant and increasing competition exists for mineral opportunities in the Province of British Columbia. There are a number of large established mineral exploration companies in British Columbia with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company.

Government Regulation

Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.

Environmental Regulation

The Company's mineral exploration activities are subject to various federal and provincial laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. In general, these laws are amended often and are becoming more restrictive.

Other Property Interests and Mining Claims

The Company may in the future acquire new mineral exploration properties or interests but has not entered into any agreements to acquire such properties or interests other than the Blue Property and the Silver Lime Property.

Trends

As a junior mining issuer, the Company is subject to the cycles of the mineral resource sector and the financial markets as they relate to junior companies.

The Company's financial performance is dependent upon many external factors. Both prices and markets for metals are volatile, difficult to predict and subject to changes in domestic and international, political, social and economic environments. Circumstances and events beyond its control could materially affect the financial performance of the Company.
