SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 19, 2024, the Company announced that it has acquired a 100% interest in 21 claims covering 1,170 hectares at the heart of the Delta-2 Property, located 35 kilometres southeast of the Town of Chibougamau, Quebec. To acquire a 100% interest in the claims, Delta has paid the vendors the sum of $5,000 and issued 350,000 common shares of the Company. The vendors will retain a 2% NSR royalty on the claims. Delta retains the right to buy back a 1% NSR from the vendors for the sum of $1,000,000 and retains a right of first refusal on the remaining 1% NSR.

On February 1, 2024, a review of the Claim Registry of the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources Naturelles du Québec, revealed that the mining titles of the Bellechasse Property had expired and that they were not renewed by Lithium One Metals Inc. on or before that date. As per an Agreement dated July 3, 2020, Delta entered into an asset purchase agreement with Yorkton Ventures Inc. (“ Yorkton ”) and 9412-1068 Québec Inc., whereby it sold various assets, including the Bellechasse-Timmins mining titles (the “ Rights ”) (the “ Agreement ”). The Agreement provided for a 1 % NSR payable to Delta after the completion of the transaction. On September 14, 2022, following complete payment of the purchase price, the Rights were formally transferred by Delta to Lithium One Metals Inc. (formerly known as Yorkton) (“ Lithium ”), the whole pursuant to a deed of transfer approved by the Ministère de l'Énergie et des Ressources naturelles on September 14, 2022 (now the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts ) and registered in the Register or real and immovable mining rights (the “ Registry ”). Delta therefore retained the services of legal counsel to seek enforcement of the NSR in this context. At this stage, Delta has sent a demand letter requiring that the situation regarding the Rights and the NST be remedied and it awaits a reply.

On February 6, 2024, the Company granted 200,000 stock options to members of its exploration team. The stock options are exercisable at $0.105 for 5 years from the date of the grant and vest immediately.

On February 15, 2024, the Company acquired the right to purchase the Pete’s Backhoe property, covering 33 hectares 750 metres west of the Eureka Gold Zone. The property is leased for a period of 5 years. Delta made a cash payment on signing of $80,000 and will pay $25,000 per year for an additional 3 years for a total cash consideration of $155,000. Delta may end the lease at anytime. During the 5 years lease, Delta may purchase the property at anytime by paying 5 times fair market value. If Delta exercises its right to purchase, the vendor will retain a 2% NSR royalty. Delta may buyback 1% NSR for $1,000,000 and retains a first right of refusal on the second 1% NSR. There are no work commitments nor were any common shares of the Company issued.

In March 2024, the Company received $340,000 who represented the last tranche of the $400,000 grants from the Ontario Junior Exploration Program Intakes 3 and 4 to further advance its Delta-1 Property.

EXPLORATION HISTORY:

Prior to Delta’s optioning of the property, only 42 drill holes had tested the property. More than half of these drill holes were aimed at Cu-Ni targets prior to 1972, while the rest targeted two small gold occurrences in the western portion of the property. The property had been sitting dormant since 2003.

Regional and Property Geology

The Archean supracrustal rocks of the Shebandowan greenstone belt belong to one of two contrasting packages of metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks: 1) an early suite of mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks of the Burchell and Greenwater assemblages; and 2) a later suit defined as the Shebandowan assemblage, consisting of sedimentary and volcanic rocks that unconformably overlie, and locally straddle, the previous two assemblages (Williams et al., 1991).

Regional Geology of the Delta-1 Property.

The older Greenwater assemblage (ca. 2720 Ma) referred to as Keewatin-type, is dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rock cycles consisting of tholeiitic to calc-alkalic andesite, dacite and rhyolite, along with some komatiitic rocks (Rogers and Mercier 1995). It comprises three generally south-younging, bimodal volcanic cycles (Williams et al. 1991).

∼ The younger Shebandowan assemblage ( 2690 Ma) unconformably overlies the Greenwater assemblage and is dominated by clastic metasedimentary rocks, with subordinate calc-alkalic to alkalic intermediate metavolcanic rocks and intrusions (Williams et al. 1991). The clastic sedimentary rocks of the Shebandowan assemblage are often referred to as “Timiskaming-type” because of their similarity to the Timiskaming group rocks of the Abitibi greenstone belt (Cooke and Moorhouse 1969). The Sedimentary rocks of the Shebandowan assemblage are thought to have deposited in fault-bounded basins related to the Shebandowan Structural Zone during regional transpressive deformation at circa 2690 Ma.

In the Shebandowan Belt, the unconformity between the Greenwater and Shebandowan assemblages has a close spatial association with numerous gold occurrences (Stott and Schnieders 1983). The same spatial association is common throughout the Shebandowan, Wawa and Abitibi belts.

Structural Features

The Shebandowan Structural Zone (ca 2700 Ma) is a deep-seeded structure that marks the boundary between the Quetico and Shebandowan greenstone belt. At least three deformation phases are thought to have taken place (Williams et al. 1991). The Shebandowan region is affected by major northeast and northwest-striking faults.

The Saganaga Structural Zone (ca 2690 Ma) is documented as a sinistral, continental-scale shear zone striking over 200 kilometers from Minnesota northeastward. Timiskaming-like pull apart basins also mark the length of this structural zone with early alkaline volcanics and related intrusions dominating northeast basins.

The Shebandowan region is also affected by late major northeast and northwest-striking faults. The Crayfish Creek and Postans faults are late-stage dextral sense structural zones that may have reactivated the Shebandowan Shear Zone. Later-stage vertical movement is recorded by near-vertical lineations on the fault system at the Wawa-Quetico subprovince boundary.

Regional Mineralization Models include Orogenic Gold Mineralization (Moss Lake, Pistol Lake and Bandore), VMS Mineralization (Coldstream) and Magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE Mineralization (Shebandowan “Inco” Mine).

Property Geology

Near the property, the Greenwater assemblage rocks generally occur south of Highway 11. The rocks are generally mafic to intermediate metavolcanics (including massive and pillowed flows) with local ultramafic flows (locally with spinifex textures). These metavolcanic flows are intercalated with thin horizons of graphitic mudstone, sulphide-bearing chert, jasper-magnetite and chert-magnetite iron formation all of which translate into highly conductive zones. Numerous gabbro sills and dikes intrude the Greenwater assemblage supracrustal rocks throughout this area .

Shebandowan assemblage rocks are found in the area along and immediately to the north of Highway 11, lying unconformably above the Greenwater assemblage rocks. Shebandowan assemblage rocks are dominated by clastic metasedimentary rocks of “Temiscaming-Type”, including conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone and mudstone. The rocks are interlayered with distinctive trachyte and trachyandesite flows that commonly display a patchy red and green appearance and tend to be amphibole-phyric. They are intruded by feldspar-phyric felsic to intermediate dikes, gabbroic intrusions and lamprophyre dikes.

Foliation is moderately well developed and generally strikes east-southeast with near-vertical dip. The rocks have been deformed into tight isoclinal folds with east-southeast striking axial planes. Shear zones that parallel the regional foliation occur throughout the area and is especially well developed along trends that coincide with gold-mineralized zones.

Simplified geology of the Delta-1 Property with gold occurrences

PROPERTY GOLD MINERALIZATION :

Gold mineralization at Delta-1 Property occurs as 2 distinct types:

The Kasper , South, Creek and Mattawin gold occurrences are hosted by thin horizons of sulphidic and graphitic chert and chert breccia (perhaps sulphidic iron formations). At the Kasper gold occurrence, a banded iron formation is also observed. The rocks are ankeritized and silicified and characterized by an abundance of sulphide (dominantly pyrite with lesser arsenopyrite).

10

At the Eureka and Wedge Gold occurrences gold is associated with an organized stockwork of quartzankerite-pyrite veinlets ranging from 1mm to 10cm in width. Occasionally, fine grained disseminated visible gold is observed within the veinlets. Although visible gold is dominantly associated with the pyrite at the walls of the veinlets specks of visible gold also occur in the central portions of the quartz veinlets.

In drill core, gold grade is directly proportional to the density of veinlets present. The presence of a single 1cm veinlet in the core can result in gold grades exceeding 1.0 g/t Au over a one metre interval. Gold mineralization is late and the quartz-ankerite-pyrite gold veinlets crosscut every lithologies.

Host rock alteration consists dominantly of intense ankeritization, albitization and silicification, with lesser sericitization combined with trace to 2% disseminated pyrite and trace arsenopyrite. At surface, rocks are weathered a dark rusty brown and rock textures are completely obliterated. In drill core and in fresh surface, textures of the sandstone, feldspar-amphibole-phyric intrusive and volcanics are locally recognized but typically also obliterated. The rock is massive, fine-grained, yellowish buff to pale grey with a common dusting of very fine-grained disseminated pyrite. Even without any veinlets present, the host rock typically contains highly anomalous gold. At Eureka, the extent of the alteration a mineralized halo containing 0.2 g/t Au to 0.4 g/t Au is defined over a minimum strike length of 1.5 kilometre and a true width of up to 187 metres.

DELTA-1 PROPERTY EXPLORATION HISTORY:

Since optioning the Delta-1 Property in 2019, Delta has carried out several limited exploration programs in the area adjacent to the Gravel Ridge Property. A summary of the exploration work by Delta Resources is provided below:

  • 2019: A six-hole, 1009 m diamond drilling program which showed a very wide zone of low-grade gold mineralization intersected over a 200 meters strike length and extending vertically from the surface to a depth of up to 110 meters.

  • 2020: A 134 sample glacial sediments sampling program which indicated a major in till gold anomaly at the Eureka zone, a second anomaly three kilometers SE of the Eureka gold Prospect, and a CuNi-Co geochemical anomaly west of the Kasper Gold Occurrence.

  • 2020: A geological mapping, prospecting & sampling program which defined the mineralized zone at Eureka as consisting of a broad envelope of low-grade gold, ranging from 0.2 g/t Au to 0.4 g/t Au. This gold halo was defined over a strike length of 1.2 km and a minimum width of 300 m, therefore significantly expanding the lithogeochemical gold halo that was previously defined during the 2019 drilling program.

  • 2021: An eight-hole, 1370 m diamond drilling program which expanded the mineralized zone from the surface to a vertical depth of 150 meters.

  • 2022: An eleven-hole, 3693 m diamond drilling program that has produced the best drill-hole interval so far at the Delta-1 Property with hole D1-22-18 returning values of 5.92 g/t gold over 31.0 metres (Including 14.80 g/t Au over 11.9 meters and Including 72.95 g/t Au over 2.2 meters), hole D1-2224 returning 6.49 g/t Au over 10.0 metres and hole D1-22-25 returning 130.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre, 1.20 g/t Au over 20.0m and 1.66 g/t Au over 18.1 metres .

DELTA 2023 EXPLORATION:

In 2023, Delta completed sixty (60) drill holes (D1-23-26 to D1-23-86) for a total of 19,620 metres. To date, in 2023, Delta outlined a gold mineralized zone with a strike length of two kilometres, extending from surface to over 250 metres vertical depth and with a true width of 10 to nearly 100 metres. A map showing the location of drill holes, a 3D model of the gold mineralized zone and a table of drill results are shown below.

Gold mineralization occurs within a broad corridor of highly altered (ankerite-calcite-sericite-silicification and albitization) rocks exhibiting highly anomalous gold values of up to 0.2 g/t gold. Higher-grade mineralization within this corridor is associated with a stockwork of quartz-ankerite-pyrite-gold veinlets, with increased density of these veinlets generally proportional to increased gold grade. The gold mineralized zones have so far been intersected for a strike of approximately 2.3 kilometres, with a highergrade segment extending for nearly 950 metres. So far, the mineralization extends from surface to a vertical depth of approximately 250 metres. Mineralization strikes approximately 100 to 120 degrees azimuth, with a dip of 75-80 degrees north (shallower dips of 50N are observed in the western portion of the zone). Higher-grade, wide ore shoots are observed and appear to be plunging approximately 40 degrees towards the west, within this structural corridor. Similar ore shoots are often observed in structurally controlled gold deposits and often occur with a certain periodicity. The currently defined ore shoots are open at depth.

In late 2023 Delta completed:

  • a 37-line kilometre 3D Induced Polarization survey covering 282 hectares, to better characterize the known mineralized zone and explore the extensions of the gold-bearing structure.

  • a televiewer probing survey on 14 strategically located drill holes to collect valuable structural information on possible fault and vein orientations.

  • a compilation of geological and geochemical data is also underway.

This multidisciplinary approach has helped to vector towards new mineralized zones within the goldbearing structure in 2024.

DELTA-2 PROPERTY – R-14

INTRODUCTION:

The Delta-2 Property is located roughly 35 kilometres south east of the town of Chibougamau, covers over 19,288.50 hectares and is easily accessible via paved highway 167. With the addition of the Cartier Option, the property covers in excess of 193 square kilometres.

Delta owns a 100% interest in the property subject to a 2% NSR Royalty.

EXPLORATION HISTORY:

The Delta-2 Property was last explored in 2014 by D’Arianne Resources; the Company transitioned to a Phosphate explorer mid-program and abandoned the property.

Geology

The Delta-2 property is located in the Caopatina-Desmaraisville belt at the NE end of the Abitibi Volcanic Belt, just southeast of the Chibougamau and east of Chapais mining camps which account respectively for historic production of 47.5Mt at 1.72% Cu, 2.30 g/t Au and 24.2Mt at 2.24% Cu, 1.13 g/t Au.

17

==> picture [456 x 270] intentionally omitted <==

Simplified geology map of the Delta-2 Property.

The Delta-2 Property covers the north-eastern contact of the syn-volcanic La Dauversière pluton (2720 Ma). The La Dauversière pluton has a tonalitic composition and is thought to be responsible for many gold occurrences in the area such as the Chevrier Zone (43-101 Resource of 10.8Mt @ 1.22 g/t Indicated and 6.3Mt @ 1.27 g/t Au Inferred) and the R-14 Gold Prospect which is situated on the Delta-2 Property.

Immediately north of the La Dauversière Pluton, in the southern half of the property, rocks consist of massive to pillowed basalts of the Obatogamau Formation. The basalts are intercalated with thin horizons of intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks and are overlain by felsic volcanic rocks of the Waconichi Formation (host to the Lemoine VMS past producer).

The northern half of the property is underlain by andesites and basalts of the Bruneau Formation. In the NE part of the property, the Bruneau Formation rocks are overlain by the felsic and sedimentary rocks of the Blondeau Formation.

In the Chibougamau area, the Waconichi Formation is very prospective for VMS mineralization. In fact, the past producing Lemoine Mine (1975-1983: 757 585 tonnes @ 9.52% Zn, 4.18% Cu, 4.56 g/t Au and 82.26 g/t Ag), a small but very high-grade VMS deposit, is located approximately two kilometres north of the property boundary, hosted by the Waconichi Formation. A strike length of over 15-20 kilometres of this prospective contact is located on the Delta-2 property.

Stratigraphy is generally EW-trending and turns NE-SW in the eastern part of the property, generally wrapping around the more competent rocks of the La Dauversière and Boisvert plutons.

Extrusive rocks of the property are intruded by a number of small syn-volcanic mafic sills and dikes and felsic dikes that are genetically linked to the La Dauversière Pluton (Faure, 2012) and spatially associated with the R-14 gold prospect.

MINERALIZATION:

The property has excellent potential for both magmatic-hydrothermal gold deposits and gold-rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits:

18

- Magmatic Hydrothermal Gold Potential:

The potential for magmatic-hydrothermal gold deposits is illustrated by the Chevrier Gold Deposit (43101 Resource of 10.8Mt @ 1.22 g/t Indicated and 6.3Mt @ 1.27 g/t Au Inferred) that lies nine kilometres west of the property in a very similar geological setting.

The property is also host to several gold occurrences, the most important of which is the R-14 Gold Prospect where mechanical trenching has exposed a gold-bearing dike swarm within a discordant alteration halo 3 kilometres long and 1 kilometre wide. At R-14, exceptional gold values of up to 142.29 g/t Au over core length of 2.44 metres have been intersected in the early 1980’s by Corner Bay Exploration (Brunelle, 1983 quoted by Faure, 2012).

The OLI Gold Occurrence:

The mineralized zones consist of quartz-carbonate-tourmaline-fuschite veins with up to 10% pyrite clusters, and disseminated pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and visible gold. Drilling and surface mechanical trenching now suggest that these veins are trending between 060 azimuth with a dip of approximately 65 degrees towards the south. The quartz veins are associated with felsic and mafic dikes. The mineralization is located approximately one kilometre north-east of the R-14 Gold prospect.

Gold-Rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Potential:

The potential for gold-rich VMS deposits is well illustrated by the very rich Lemoine past producing mine (1975-83: 757,000t VMS deposit grading 9.52% Zn, 4.18% Cu, 4.56 g/t Au and 82.26 g/t Ag) which is located two kilometres north of the Delta-2 Property limit. The Lemoine deposit is sitting on the Waconichi Formation, and the Delta-2 Property covers well over 20 kilometres of this favourable stratigraphic horizon.

East of the property boundary, the Guillaume-Cartier and Delinel Gold prospects are also gold-rich occurrences showing volcanogenic massive sulphide affinity. Drill hole intercepts of 27,52 g/t Au over 1m; 4,77 g/t Au sur 1m; 1,04 % Cu over 1m; 11,92 g/t Au over 1,0m; 6,65 g/t Au, 7,3 g/t Ag et 1,0 % Cu over 0,3m; 13,05 g/t Au over 1,2m, are reported at Guillaume-Cartier.

EXPLORATION WORK:

2019 Exploration work

  • In late 2019, three weeks were spent by Delta on geological mapping and prospecting. The initial two weeks were devoted to due diligence work prior to the property acquisition. Two new gold occurrences were discovered during the course of these three weeks (i.e. the Due Diligence Occurrence: up to 55.80 g/t gold in grab samples and the Snowfall gold occurrence up to 11.45 g/t gold in grab samples).

2020 Exploration work

  • In January and February 2020, a Helicopter Borne VTEM survey covering the central part of the property, and a Drone high resolution magnetic survey in the southern part of the property were completed.

Short, isolated and conformable conductors that reflect the typical strike length of VMS deposits were then selected for field follow-up. No less than 30 conductors that have never been drill-tested or poorly-tested were selected for follow up.

  • During the summer and fall of 2020, an extensive field program of geological mapping, sampling, prospecting, and mechanical trenching was carried-out, ground-proofing conceptual gold targets and VTEM anomalies.

  • In November and December 2020, Delta completed 20 drill holes for a total of 3,431.5 metres. There were no significant results to report.

19

2021 Exploration work

  • From January to March, 2021, Delta completed 18 drill holes for a total of 2,726.5 metres. Drill holes 21 to 25 and 30 and 31 were aimed at VMS targets while drill holes 26 to 29 and 32 to 37 were aimed at gold targets.

Drilling of the gold targets culminated with the new Oli Gold discovery. Significant results are shown below:

True intercepts are believed to be close to drill intercept lengths.

  • During the summer of 2021, Delta completed a gravimetric survey covering a 4.5 square kilometre area. Three residual gravimetric anomalies of 0.6 mgal were detected at the core of a syncline affecting the favourable sulphide-bearing horizon.

  • During the summer and fall of 2021, Delta completed a program of geological mapping, sampling, prospecting and mechanical trenching. The program culminated in the discovery of the Lone Pine Gold Occurrence where grab samples returned 18.8 and 21.1 g/t Au.

Three drill holes for a total of 585 metres were also completed to test the depth extent of the OLI gold vein. The host structure was intercepted but the vein was not intersected, and no significant results are reported.

  • In November and December 2021, Delta completed 16 drill holes and deepened drill hole D221-27, for a total of 2,709 metres. The drilling program was aimed at gold targets between the OLI and R-14 gold occurrences. The structures and some quartz-ankerite-tourmaline veins were intersected during the course of the program. Best results are shown in the table below.

20

21

2022 Exploration Work

  • 53 drill holes were completed for a total of 10,283 metres aimed at both gold and VMS targets.

  • • In April 2022, downhole EM geophysics was completed on 18 of the drill holes aimed at VMS targets. Several off-hole anomalies have been detected and are now being evaluated for further testing.

  • A 379.7-line km VTEM survey was also completed during the summer of 2022 at the Delta-2 Property. The survey covered the Dollier Property, which is contiguous to the east of the Delta2 Property, with 346 line-kilometres.

  • Following the VTEM survey, a geological mapping, prospecting, sampling and mechanical trenching program was completed during the late-summer and fall of 2022 to ground-proof VTEM anomalies on both the Delta-2 Property and the Dollier option.

2023 Exploration Work

The Company did not explore the Delta-2 Property during the year 2023, focusing instead on the contiguous Dollier Property (see below).

DOLLIER PROPERTY

The Dollier Property consists of 40 claims covering 2,228 hectares and is contiguous to the Delta-2 Property to the east. The property is host to the Delinel Gold-Pyrite VMS prospect where best results include 25.1 g/t gold over 1.0m, 13.3 g/t gold over 1.2m and 11.9 g/t gold over 1.0m.

On May 13, 2021, Delta announced the signing of an option agreement with Cartier Resources Inc. (“Cartier”) whereby Delta shall have the sole and exclusive right to earn a 100% Interest by paying Cartier $10,000 in cash at signing; by completing the issuance in favour of Cartier of an aggregate of 600,000 common shares over three years (200,000 common shares already issued); and by incurring $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the four-year Option period.

Upon earning a 100% interest in the Dollier Property, Cartier will be granted a 2% NSR production royalty. Delta will have the exclusive right to purchase the first 1% NSR for $2,000,000 and the second 1% NSR for $15,000,000.

Delta may elect at any time, on or before the Option Deadline to terminate the Option by delivering notice in writing to that effect to Cartier.

2022 Exploration Work

A 346-line km VTEM survey by Geotech Ltd was completed during the summer of 2022, followed by a geological mapping, prospecting and trenching program. Results of these programs are currently being evaluated to plan a drilling program in 2023.

2023 Exploration Work

In late 2023, Delta completed 17 drill holes for a total of 3,752 metres. The exploration program was fully funded with Quebec-Flow-Through funds raised in late-2022. The drilling program was designed to test a number of helicopter-borne VTEM anomalies located on the Dollier-Cartier Option which is contiguous to the Delta-2 Property. The objective of the program was to search for a Lemoine-Type VMS deposit, located eight (8) kilometres to the north of the drill program (Lemoine Past Producer 0.76 MT @ 4.2% Cu, 9.6% Zn, 4.5 g/t Au).

A massive to semi-massive sulphide horizon was intersected in drill holes D2V-23-96 and D2V-23-105, over a strike length of 100 metres. The horizon strikes NE, dips steeply towards the SE and is located approximately 600 metres SE of the Guillaume-Cartier Gold-VMS prospect (see figure and table of results below). The horizon is open to the SW and at depth and for approximately 400 metres to the NE.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023

Delta anticipates that, for the foreseeable future, results of operations will primarily be impacted by several factors, including the timing of exploration, the additional funds that can be necessary for the future pursuit of exploration work on properties and the efforts and timing of expenditures related to the development of the Company. Due to fluctuations in these factors, the Company believes that the periodto-period comparisons of operating results are not a good indication of its future performance.

The following discussion and analysis are based on Delta’ results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. The selected financial information data is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year indicated.

The Company recorded a net loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $7,106,207 compared to a net loss and comprehensive loss of $3,943,026 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Nature of Mineral Exploration and Development Projects

Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and frequently is non-productive. There is no assurance that exploration efforts will continue to be successful. Success in establishing reserves is a result of several factors, including the quality of management, the Company’s level of geological and technical expertise, the quality of land available for exploration and other factors. Once mineralization is discovered, it may take several years in the initial phases of drilling until production is possible, during which time the economic feasibility of production may change. Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable reserves through drilling, to determine the optimal metallurgical process to extract the metals from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to construct mining and processing facilities.

Because of these uncertainties, no assurance can be given that exploration programs will result in the establishment or expansion of resources or reserves. Whether a resource deposit will ultimately be commercially viable depends on several factors, including the particular attributes of the deposit such as the deposit’s size; its proximity to existing infrastructure; financing costs and the prevailing prices for the applicable minerals. Development projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future cash operating costs.

Particularly for development projects, resource estimates and estimates of cash operating costs are, to a large extent, based upon the interpretation of geologic data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques, and feasibility studies, which derive estimates of cash operating costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, ground conditions, the configuration of the ore body, expected recovery rates of minerals from the ore, estimated operating costs, anticipated

34

climatic conditions and other factors. As a result, it is possible that actual cash operating costs and economic returns could differ significantly from those estimated for a project before production. It is not unusual for new mining operations to experience problems during the start-up phase, and delays in the commencement of production often can occur. The Company’s business of exploring for mineral resources involves a variety of operational, financial and regulatory risks that are typical in the natural resource industry. The Company attempts to mitigate these risks and minimize their effect on its financial performance, but there is no guarantee that the Company will be profitable in the future, and the Company’s common shares should be considered speculative.

There can be no assurance that any funding required by the Company will become available to it, and if so, that it will be offered on reasonable terms, or that the Company will be able to secure such funding through third party financing or cost sharing arrangements. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure new mineral properties or projects, with or without the Share Consolidation, or that they can be secured on competitive terms.

Canada Customs and Revenue Agency

No assurance can be made that Canada Customs and Canada Revenue Agency will agree with the Company’s characterization of expenditures as Canadian exploration expenses or Canadian development expenses or the eligibility of such expenses as Canadian exploration expenses under the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Disclosure controls and procedures

Based on continual evaluations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that material information relating to the Company would be made known to them by others within the entity, particularly during the period in which the MD&A and the financial statements contained in this report were being prepared.

Internal controls over financial reporting

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have designed, or have caused to be designed under their supervision, internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
