Overview

The following covers the operations of EGR Exploration Ltd. (formerly Gambier Gold Corp.) (the "Company" also referred to as "EGR") for the six months ended September 30, 2022 prepared as of November 22, 2022. This management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and related notes.

These documents are available for viewing on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts therein and in the following MD&A are in Canadian dollars. These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A contains certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All statements in this MD&A, other than statements of historical fact, that address exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or developments that the Company expects to occur, are forwardlooking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes”, “intends”, “estimates”, “projects”, “potential” and similar expressions, or that events or conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur. Information inferred from the interpretation of drilling results and information concerning mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to be forwardlooking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is developed. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forwardlooking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in the forwardlooking statements include market prices, exploitation and exploration successes, and continued availability of capital and financing, and general economic, market or business conditions. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company’s management on the date the statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the event that management’s beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change beyond the procedures required under applicable securities laws.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a recovery of $113,837 on geological expenses from unrecorded GST/HST on Pioneer’s previous invoices incurred during fiscal 2022. On November 1, 2022, the Company received GST/HST refund of $120,275, which included the recovery of $113,837 from the periods prior to the six months ended September 30, 2022.

As a result of the above recovery of GST/HST, a negative balance was incurred in mineral exploration expense during the six months ended September 30, 2022.

Detour West, Ontario

On April 5, 2021, the Company announced it commenced its inaugural exploration program, consisting of the first stage of deep glacial till sampling by sonic drilling on its Detour West property in northern Ontario.

In addition, the Company increased its mineral tenure at Detour West from an initial 23,849.76 hectares to a current total of 39,217.71 hectares. This represented an increase of 64.4% in the Company’s nearly 400 square km land holdings directly adjacent to Agnico Eagle Mines Limited’s Detour Lake property on the Detour-Fenelon Gold trend.

The sonic drills were mobilized to the project and expected to begin deep sampling of the overlying glacial till sediments and into bedrock surface.

On May 10, 2021, the Company provided an update on its sonic drill program and announced that it completed 20 sonic holes, totaling 996 m of sediment core, as well as collected a total of 689 samples.

On July 15, 2021, the Company announced that it had completed the first phase of deep till sampling. Forty-nine sonic holes were drilled during the first phase of deep till sampling at Detour West, for a total of 2,241.5 m. The program completed more holes than originally planned, thanks to better-thanexpected available summer access within the permitted drill grid. The holes intersected Quaternary glaciogenic sediment and small amounts of upper bedrock on a grid over GEOTEM and airborne magnetic survey geophysical targets of interest along the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone and Lower Detour Deformation Zones. Cores were logged and sampled at the Company’s core lab facility in Cochrane, Ontario, and samples were sent for analysis to multiple laboratories as described in the May 10, 2021 news release.

EGR EXPLORATION LTD. (formerly Gambier Gold Corp.) Management Discussion & Analysis For the six months ended September 30, 2022

A total of 2,295 samples were collected and submitted for assay, including 1,452 samples for fine fraction geochemistry, 393 samples for visible gold grain analysis, 393 samples for heavy-mineral concentrate geochemistry, and 57 samples for lithogeochemistry.

In addition to the sonic drill program, the Company completed the acquisition of an additional 173 square km of high-resolution LiDAR to provide coverage over the additional tenure staked in March 2021. The LiDAR data would be used to assist in planning the next phase of winter sonic drilling and exploration.

On March 21, 2022, the Company announced the results from the 2021 rotasonic drilling at its Detour Lake project.

In late February 2022, the Company commissioned Overburden Drilling Management Limited in Ottawa, ON (ODM) to prepare a report on the sample processing and the analysis of the 395 samples received last year from the reverse circulation (RC)/rotasonic (RS) drilling on the Detour West project. ODM has extensive experience with managing RC/RS drilling and sample preparation throughout Canada. ODM removed pebbles larger than 2 mm producing magnetic and non-magnetic heavy mineral concentrate from every sample received. In the non-magnetic heavy mineral concentrate (NMHMC) ODM identified, and did characterization of free gold grains (553 micron-sized grains) from 230 samples. The remaining 165 samples had no free gold grains. To be considered anomalous in the Detour Lake area of the Abitibi greenstone belt an RC/RS sample should have at least 10 free gold grains, and of the 230 sample only one sample had more than 10 grains (13 with 12 being modified by transport). The economic gold grade within the Abitibi is considered to generally be 1.0 g/t and ODM gold grade calculations of the 230 samples identified 6 samples with gold grades above 1.0 g/t. The free gold grains were returned to the NMHMC and shipped by ODM to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) in Ancaster, Ontario for Agua Riga digestion and Induced Coupled Plasma Analysis (ICP) and Instrument Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) for comparison of calculated grades with analyzed grades.

The ODM report concludes: “An objective of the program was to detect and delineate gold grain dispersal trains emanating from undiscovered mineralization of potential economic significance. The 48 RS holes were drilled using a dense 125 to 150 m hole spacing layout focused on the central part of the property. The gold grain counts and the HMC analyses from the till and sand/gravel samples do not indicate any significant gold mineralization proximal or distal to the survey area. Additional heavy mineral sampling using RS or RC drilling could be conducted on the eastern and western parts of the property. A broader layout with hole spacing’s of 300 m on traverses spaced 500 to 1,000m apart would be sufficient to detect gold grain dispersion from a gold source of a potentially economic grade”.

The Company received the ODM report and used it to file assessment work on the EGR claims in the Detour West Property as per the claim vendors’ request to avoid defaulting on the claim agreement. The assessment report, which includes the ODM report and Actlabs analytical results are filed on SEDAR. The ODM report is not a technical report under NI 43-101, and was filed under the category “other” to show more information. The assessment report was accepted as filed in July, 2022 such that the property is in good standing.

During fiscal 2022, the Company spent $1,666,811 in exploration expenditures on this property. Management plans to continue exploration at Detour West and is seeking to fund further exploration through equity financing or via partnerships with other mining companies.

EGR EXPLORATION LTD. (formerly Gambier Gold Corp.) Management Discussion & Analysis For the six months ended September 30, 2022

On July 21, 2022, the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares to the optionors and completed the option to acquire 100% interest in the Detour West property. The optionors are entitled to a royalty of 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) on the property. The Company shall have the right, to purchase 1.0% of the NSR from the optionors in consideration of $500,000.

The Company will continue to monitor the current economic and financial market conditions and evaluate their impact on the Company’s liquidity and future prospects.

Management expects to settle some of the current working capital deficit with shares, debt, or reductions in amounts owing based on market rates for the work completed.

7 | P a g e

EGR EXPLORATION LTD. (formerly Gambier Gold Corp.) Management Discussion & Analysis For the six months ended September 30, 2022

Since the Company will not be able to generate cash from its operations in the foreseeable future, the Company will have to rely on the issuance of shares to fund ongoing operations and investment. The ability of the Company to raise capital will depend on market conditions, and it may not be possible for the Company to issue shares on acceptable terms or at all.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements include the Company’s estimates of recoverable value of its mineral properties.

The Company’s recoverability of the recorded value of its mineral properties is based on market conditions for minerals, underlying mineral resources associated with the properties and future costs that may be required for ultimate realization through mining operations or by sale. The Company is in an industry that is dependent on a number of factors, including environmental, legal and political risks, the existence of economically recoverable reserves and the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development and future profitable production or proceeds of disposition thereof.

and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of gold and other precious and base metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to credit risk are cash. To minimize the credit risk on cash the Company places the instrument with a high-credit quality financial institution. The maximum exposure to loss arising from these advances is equal to their total carrying amounts.

Fair Values

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable. The fair value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates its carrying value due to its short-term nature.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with the three level fair value hierarchy as follows:

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Cash is measured at Level 1.

Outstanding Claim

During the year ended March 31, 2016, a creditor filed a claim against the Company in the sum of $25,000 with the Small Claims Court of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for unpaid services. This amount has been provided for in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022. The expected timing of settling the obligation is uncertain at this time.

Risks and Uncertainties

Mineral Property Exploration and Mining Risks

The business of mineral deposit exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. The main operating risks include: securing adequate funding to maintain and advance exploration properties; ensuring ownership of and access to mineral properties by confirmation that option agreements, claims and leases are in good standing; and obtaining permits for drilling and other exploration activities. Few properties that are explored ultimately become producing mines. At present, none of the Company’s properties has a known commercial ore deposit.

Global Pandemic

There was a global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19. To date, there have been a large number of temporary business closures, quarantines and a general reduction in consumer activity in Canada. The outbreak has caused companies and various governmental bodies to impose travel, gathering and other public health restrictions. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the various disruptions to businesses locally and internationally and the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Similarly, the Company cannot estimate whether or to what extent this outbreak and the potential financial impact may extend. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 will or may impact the Company is uncertain and these factors are beyond the Company’s control; however, it is possible that COVID-19 may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Ukraine Conflict

The Company’s business financial condition and results of operations may be further negatively affected by economic and other consequences from the conflict in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed in response to that action in late February 2022. While the Company expects any direct impacts of the pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine to the business to be limited, the indirect impacts on the economy and on the mining industry and other industries, in general, could negatively affect the business and may make it more difficult for it to raise equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future.
