Description of Business
The Company was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on August 8, 1988. The Company is an exploration stage junior mining company engaged in the identification, acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Colombia. To date, the Company has not generated significant revenues from its operations.
The Company continues to seek various financing opportunities.
The Company trades under symbol TSX-V: ANG and has a wholly-owned Colombian subsidiary, Angel Gold S.A.S. For more information about the Company, please see the Company’s website: www.angelgoldcorp.com. Additional information relating to the Company is also available for viewing on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Coronavirus Pandemic
The outbreak of COVID-19 and any future emergence and spread of similar pathogens could have an adverse impact on global economic conditions, which may adversely impact the Company’s operations, and the operations of its suppliers, contractors and service providers, the ability to obtain financing and maintain necessary liquidity, and the ability to explore the Company’s properties. The outbreak of COVID-19 and political upheavals in various countries have caused significant volatility in commodity prices. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the business disruptions internationally, and 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 to countries outside of those currently impacted. Travel bans and other government restrictions may also adversely impact the Company’s operations and the ability of the
1
ANGEL GOLD CORP. FORM 51-102F1 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Year ended December 31, 2020
Company to advance its projects. In particular, if any employees or consultants of the Company become infected with Coronavirus or similar pathogens and/or the Company is unable to source necessary consumables or supplies, due to government restrictions or otherwise, it could have a material negative impact on the Company’s operations and prospects, including the complete shutdown of one or more of its exploration programs. The situation is dynamic and changing day-to-day. The Company is exploring several options to deal with any repercussions that may occur as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Exploration
Property Option Agreement
During November 2014 (as amended during March, 2016 and during October, 2018), the Company entered into an Option Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the El Porvenir Gold Property, located within the Segovia-Remedios gold belt in the Department of Antioquia, Colombia, from Mineros S.A., a private Colombian mining company. The amended terms of the Option Agreement are as follows:
-
US $50,000 upon signing (paid);
-
US $50,000 due 90 days after signing (known as the “Due Diligence and Approval Period”) (paid);
-
US $100,000 due by the second anniversary of the Due Diligence and Approval Period (paid);
-
US $75,000 due by May 30, 2019 (US$69,000 paid in fiscal 2018);
-
US $100,000 due by May 30, 2020 (unpaid);
-
US $150,000 due by May 30, 2021;
-
US$250,000 due by May 30, 2022; and
-
US $1,225,000 due by May 20, 2023.
The Company is also obligated to commence various drill programs as follows:
-
To commence an initial drill program by May 14, 2019 for no less than 1,500 meters;
-
To commence second drill program by May 14, 2020 for no less than 3,000 meters; and
-
To commence third drill program by May 14, 2021 for no less than 4,500 meters.
The Company is also obligated to file an updated NI 43-101 technical report no later than December 15, 2020, which has not been completed to date.
All payments and obligations under the Option Agreement are subject to the complete transfer of all Titles related to the El Porvenir Gold Property, from Mineros to the Company, which have not been fully transferred. As of the date of this MD&A, two Titles (HHJP-12(6835) and HHJP12(6717) has been fully transferred to the Company.
The Company will also grant a 3% net smelter royalty to Mineros S.A. upon earning the 100% interest in the Property.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the option agreement was amended to allow for an immediate transfer of the concession titles to the Company and to allow the Company to produce and hold up to fifty tonnes per day of production without additional payment under the agreement.

ANGEL GOLD CORP. FORM 51-102F1 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Year ended December 31, 2020
During fiscal 2020, Mineros issued a letter of termination of the Option Agreement to the Company, citing non-compliance of certain terms within the Agreement. In conjunction with this termination, Mineros is claiming approximately US$45,000 for alleged unpaid amounts as well as US$200,000 for alleged damages. Currently, management is in the process of negotiating a settlement agreement with Mineros.
Exploration Activities
The Company has defined the scope of its exploration program to include:
-
The initial ground-based geophysical surveys consisting of induced polarization (IP) and ground magnetic surveys at Iguanacito, Guayabales and Abejero, including soil and geophysical surveys on the lines at Iguanacito and Guayabales areas, and mapping of the Abejero artisanal mine have been completed;
-
All of the current and historical data on the project has been input into Leapfrog in order to better interpret the correlation between the various exploration activities that have occurred to date. Further prospecting, soil sampling and trenching will also be conducted to follow up on the strong gold stream sediment geochemical anomaly found at La Puna (values of 1,480 parts per billion, 91.2 parts per billion and 59.9 parts per billion gold);
-
A drilling program of approximately 2,000 meters of large-diameter HQ has been designed and planned subject to available financing from the targets generated by these exploration programs and the revised interpretation from the consolidation of the exploration data into a Leapfrog data file.
Work to date by the Company has identified a number of stream sediment targets in addition to the three areas of artisanal mining activity previously investigated by Mineros SA. Previously unrecognized intrusive bodies, including porphyry intrusives, widespread zones of sericite-silica alteration, and scattered jasperoid and pyrite-silica alteration were identified by the Company geologists, hosted within both intrusive and sedimentary rocks within this region, which have been supported by the results of the geophysics completed to date.
The Company conducted soil geochemical lines over two stream sediment anomalies, identifying significant mineralization at the Iguanacito prospect. Detailed trenching and channel sampling were carried out at this newly discovered Iguanacito prospect, confirming the presence of highly significant gold-silver mineralization. The extension of the Iguanacito mineralized trend has been covered by a concession application by the Company.
Monitoring of artisanal miner activity confirmed that the Abejero artisanal mine was producing bonanzagrade gold mineralization. An Angel Gold channel sample across the width of the vein across the mining face in this bonanza-grade mine returned 0.3 meter at 117 grams per tonne Au. Historic drilling by Mineros SA intersected significant gold values to 5.58 meters at 70.35 grams per tonne Au (true thickness unknown, but indicated to be close to intersection width) in shallow, small-diameter reconnaissance drilling (BQ diameter, averaging only 66.6 meters in length). Wide zones of intense bleaching silicification were also encountered by Mineros in this drilling, which yielded significant silver mineralization of nine meters averaging 89.9 grams per tonne silver. Angel Gold soil sampling indicates a potential continuation of this mineralized alteration zone on trend of the area tested by Mineros SA.

ANGEL GOLD CORP. FORM 51-102F1 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Year ended December 31, 2020
A drilling program of approximately 2,000 meters of large-diameter HQ coring has been planned and budgeted, including 1,300 meters in 20 holes at Iguanacito, 240 meters in two holes at Guayabales and 470 meters in three holes at Abejero. Further drill holes are being provisionally considered. The drill program requires minimum camp construction due to the readily available sleeping accommodations that can be accessed in the small communities nearby, access track upgrade to access targets, and drill pad and drill pad access preparation. Additionally, a road development project is underway in Colombia, the construction of 37km of new road between Remedios and Vegachí, 35km of new road between Vegachí and Alto de Dolores, and revamping 64km of existing roads between Alto de Dolores and Puerto Berrío to connect with the Ruta del Sol highway is underway or has been completed. It also contains the construction of 43 bridges, including a 1.5km bridge over the Magdalena River. One of these new paved commercial roads has been constructed crossing within the boundaries of the El Porvenier concession area and within approximately 200 meters of at least two of the target drilling areas minimizing the requirements for additional road construction:
-
Iguanacito: A number of shallow holes are planned to test directly under the demonstrated areas of substantial gold-silver trench results, which indicated two separate mineralized structures at Iguanacito -- notably under trenches TJK004, TCO001-TCO002, TCO010 and TCO021. A second tier of slightly deeper holes is provisionally designed to drill under this first tier of holes if the results of the shallow drilling are good, as well as to test under the zones of intense alteration and stockwork veinlets detected along strike to the south where the two separate Iguanacito zones unify into a wide zone of continuous sericite alteration. These slightly deeper holes, particularly those designed to test the veinlet zones, have been modified upon receiving the results of the ground geophysics.
-
Guayabales: A large-diameter (HQ) core twinning and extension to 100 meters of the 60.2-metre BQ historic drill hole RBG049 is planned. RBG049 cut nine meters averaging 89.9 grams per tonne Ag (true thickness unknown) in intensely silicified intrusive that has been fractured and infilled with sulphide and quartz. A second hole of 140-metre depth is currently planned to drill under a soil anomaly 600 meters to the south of RBG049. The soil anomaly is inferred to overlie the continuation of the silicified zone. This planned drill program has been modified by the results of the geophysics survey and subject to adequate financing.
-
Abejero: Twinning in large-diameter HQ core to a 60-metre depth of historic small-diameter drill hole RBA002 will be done with a second 250-metre hole being drilled underneath the intersection to test for downdip continuation. Drill hole RBA002 intersected 5.58 meters of 70.35 grams per tonne Au (true thickness unknown, but indicated to be close to intersection width). A third hole of 160-metre depth is planned to be drilled under the downdip extension of the bonanza-grade artisanal Abejero mine.
El Pino West & Heliconia
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company received the Concession contracts for the El Pino West & Heliconia properties in Colombia from the Secretary of Mines of Antioquia, Colombia, requesting the Company’s formal execution thereof. The Company is now waiting for formal signature by the Antioquia governor and registration of the contracts with the National Mining Registry.

ANGEL GOLD CORP. FORM 51-102F1 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Year ended December 31, 2020
El Pino
The El Pino West concession adjoins to the northeast of the Gramalote project of B2 Gold and AngloGold Ashanti, and is similarly underlain almost entirely by intrusives of the Antioquia batholith. The concession covers an area between two northwest-southeast-trending faults that are subparallel to the structures controlling the Gramalote mineralization.
The total field reduction to pole aeromagnetics of eastern Antioquia and Bolivar provinces, flown in 2013 on behalf of the Servicio Geologico Colombiano, and compiled in 2014, shows the presence of a magnetic high underlying the central portion of the concession. An initial stream sediment sampling program conducted by Angel Gold reveals gold stream sediment anomalism occurring on both flanks of this magnetic high adjacent to the flanking faults. Widespread known artisanal workings occur on the northern margin of the concession, but the strongest gold anomalism occurs in the south of the concession. Twenty-one of 31 BLEG (bulk leach extractable gold) stream sediment samples collected by the Company during reconnaissance in 2010, reported at over 30 parts per billion (ppb) Au, with eight samples returning over 100 ppb Au and a peak gold analysis of 410 ppb Au. Silver anomalism is coincident with the gold anomalism.
Heliconia
The total field reduction to pole aeromagnetics of eastern Antioquia and Bolivar provinces, flown in 2013 on behalf of the Servicio Geologico Colombiano, and compiled in 2014, shows the presence of a large very strong magnetic anomaly as lying immediately to the south of and adjoining the western portion of the concession, and the major Quirimana fault system that occurs on the eastern margin of the concession as containing a pronounced magnetic high associated with Cretaceous intrusive rocks.
Coincident BLEG and stream sediment samples were collected by the company at 23 sites during reconnaissance during 2010. Four anomalous sites for gold-silver (Au-Ag) have been indicated for follow-up. Peak BLEG anomalism reported at 80 ppb Au and 170 ppb Ag. Copper values in the stream sediment samples reported up to 175 ppm Cu, with elevated values over 80 parts per million (ppm) Cu coincident with gold anomalism in both the southwest corner of the concession and in the north center. Gold in conventional stream sediments reports to 9.2 ppb Au.
The Titiribi porphyry gold-copper deposits of Sunward Resources occur about 15 kilometers to the south within the same structural regime that underlies the Heliconia property.
Impairment
Due to insufficient funds available, the Company has not made all required option payments or drilling commitments which is an indicator of impairment for the El Porvenir property and the El Pino West property. As a result, management has performed a recoverable value assessment. However, as there are no defined cash flows for these exploration stage assets, the El Porvenir and El Pino West properties were written down during the year ended December 31, 2019 by $2,100,871 and $2,868, respectively. The Company remains in discussion with Mineros over maintaining the El Porvenir option agreement in its current form.

| Comprehensive loss per share | (0.00) | (0.04) | (0.00) |
The loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $37,310 is mainly attributable to general operating expenditures including consulting fees to a company controlled by the Company’s corporate secretary of $30,000. No Management or Directors’ fees were charged during fiscal 2020.
The loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $2,154,201 is mainly attributable to the impairment of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets of $2,103,739, a foreign exchange gain of $25,053 and general operating expenditures of $75,515 including consulting fees to a company controlled by the Company’s corporate secretary of $30,000. No Management or Directors’ fees were charged during fiscal 2019.
The loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $111,042 is mainly attributable to general operating expenditures. No management or directors’ fees were charged during the year.
Results of Operations
The Company incurred a loss of $37,310 during the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “current year”), compared to a loss of $2,154,201 for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “comparative year”).
Some of the significant variances between the current year and the comparative year are as follows:
During the comparative year, the Company incurred an impairment of exploration and evaluation assets of $2,103,739. During the current year, no such transaction occurred.
During the current year the Company incurred a foreign exchange gain of $21,007, compared to a gain of $25,053 during the comparative year. The change is a result of the fluctuation between Colombian, U.S. and Canadian currency rates.

ANGEL GOLD CORP. FORM 51-102F1 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Year ended December 31, 2020
During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company’s loss increased to $37,657 from a loss of $781 incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019 mainly as a result of recording a foreign exchange loss of $12,574 and professional fees of $16,564.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company’s loss increased to $781 from a loss of $111 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company’s loss decreased to $111 from a loss of $56,271 incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2018, mainly as a result of the accrual for the Company’s annual audit fee during the three months ended December 31, 2018 as well as a foreign exchange gain of $15,265 recorded during the current period.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance of common shares, the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants and the proceeds from loans advanced to the Company by the Company’s directors. The Company continues to seek capital through various means including the issuance of equity and/or debt.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $36,465,202 (2019 - $36,427,892). In addition, the Company has not generated sufficient revenues to meet its operating and administrative expenses. These circumstances cast significant doubt on the validity of the going concern assumption.
In order to continue as a going concern and to meet its corporate objectives, which primarily consist of investigating new potential properties and exploration work on those potential properties, the Company will require additional financing through debt or equity issuances or other available means. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. Factors that could affect the availability of financing include the progress and exploration results of the mineral properties, the state of international debt, equity and metals markets, and investor perceptions and expectations.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 do not include adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.
Capital Resources
The Company commenced fiscal 2020 with a working capital deficiency of $762,362 and cash of $796. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $799,672 and cash of $2,508. Administrative expenditures incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020 were funded from cash on hand at December 31, 2019 of $796 and from loans advanced to the Company during 2020 totaling $53,025 (US$40,000) by a director of the Company.
8
ANGEL GOLD CORP. FORM 51-102F1 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Year ended December 31, 2020
The Company does not anticipate generating revenues in the near future. This, along with potential future mineral property acquisitions, will need to be funded through additional equity financings and/or debt.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. Areas requiring a significant degree of estimation relate to but are not limited to:
- (i) Useful life of equipment
Equipment is amortized over the estimated useful life of the assets. Changes in the estimated useful lives could significantly increase or decrease the amount of amortization recorded during the period and the carrying value of equipment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements as at the date of this MD&A.
Contingent Liability
A former consultant to the Company, whose services to the Company terminated during fiscal 2011, prior to the commencement of services being provided by current management, initiated a claim against the Company’s subsidiary, Angel Gold S.A.S, during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company has filed a response to this claim stating that it was without any legal basis and without an amount that is determinable. On September 23, 2015, the Colombia courts rendered a decision in favor of the Company. On November 23, 2015, the former consultant filed an appeal to the court decision and in December 2016 the appeals court ruled in favor of the consultant and ordered the Company to pay a total of $36,984 (US$29,048) plus administrative costs of approximately $2,546 (US$2,000). Management is currently considering its options including the filing of an appeal with the Supreme Court of Colombia.
Investor Relations
The Company has no investor relations agreements in place as of the date of this MD&A.
Proposed Transactions
The Company has no undisclosed proposed transactions as at the date of this MD&A.

Financial and Capital Risk Management
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their carrying values.
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company’s cash is held at large Canadian financial institution in interest bearing accounts.
10
ANGEL GOLD CORP. FORM 51-102F1 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Year ended December 31, 2020
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Company’s cash at December 31, 2020 totalled $2,508 (2019 - $796). At December 31, 2020, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $498,554 (2019 - $503,726) and amounts due to related parties of $310,935 (2019 – $264,632). All of the Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The amounts due to related parties become due on demand one year after the date they were issued. The Company will be required to obtain additional funding to meet its contractual liabilities.
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 commodity and equity prices.
a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in bank accounts. Accordingly, due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on estimated cash flows or fair values as of December 31, 2020.
b) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars.
The Company operates in Canada and Colombia and a portion of its expenses are incurred in Colombian pesos and US dollars. A significant change in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar relative to the Colombian peso and US dollar could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Capital management
The Company considers its capital under management to consist of shareholders’ equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets. The Board of Directors does not establish a quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.
The Company will continue to explore and evaluate its existing mineral property and will assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Although the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past through obtaining equity financing, it is uncertain whether it can continue this financing.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
