BATERO GOLD CORP.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024
The following management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”), prepared as of January 21, 2026 should be read in conjunction with the Batero Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “Batero”) interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the period ended November 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company has adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and the following disclosure and associated financial statements are presented in accordance with IFRS. All comparative information provided is in accordance with IFRS. Except as otherwise disclosed, all dollar figures included therein and in the following MD&A are quoted in Canadian dollars. Additional information relevant to the Company’s activities can be found on SEDAR® at www.sedarplus.ca.
Qualified Person
Except as otherwise disclosed herein, all the scientific and technical information disclosed in this MD&A was reviewed and approved by Roger Moss, Ph.D. P.Geo. a qualified person as defined under NI 43-101.
1. GENERAL COMPANY OVERVIEW
Batero is focused on the exploration and development of its 100% owned Batero-Quinchia project, which is located within Colombia’s Middle Cauca Belt of porphyry gold-copper and epithermal gold systems (the “Project” or the “Batero-Quinchia Project”). The Company completed a drilling program in 2017 to evaluate the highest gold grades in the oxide and transition zones of the porphyry mineralization at the Batero-Quinchia Project’s La Cumbre deposit.
The underlying value of the unproven mineral interests is entirely dependent on the existence of economically recoverable resources and the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development and future production. The amounts shown as exploration and evaluation assets represent net costs to date, less amounts written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.
As at November 30, 2025, the Company had working capital deficit of $110,251 (August 31, 2025 - deficit $1,833,440) and an accumulated deficit of $31,384,393 (August 31, 2025 – deficit $30,843,988). At present the Company has no producing properties and consequently has no current operating income or cash flow. Management requires financing to fund its planned exploration program and related activities at its Batero-Quinchia Project and ongoing administrative costs for at least the next twelve months. While the Company has been successful in securing financing in the past, there is material uncertainty about whether the Company will be able to obtain the required financing in the future and complete or develop a business. This material uncertainty casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not
include any adjustments for the recoverability and classification of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company continues the process of exploring and evaluating its mineral properties.
2. OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK
The outlook for Batero is:
- Capitalized at November 30, 2025 with cash of CAD $295,624.
- Continuing to advance the Batero-Quinchia Project in a cost effective and timely manner. Notably, the Company has taken advantage of Colombian mining law which has allowed it to integrate three mining titles into one tenement, reducing the need to develop three separate mining projects, one for each title. This will allow for more economic development of the project and the deposit.
3. DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS
Readers are cautioned that mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Readers are also cautioned that inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them.
Batero-Quinchia Project
The Company is focused on accelerating the La Cumbre deposit towards a development decision. Engineering, environmental impact assessment, archaeological studies and social baseline studies are being prepared to reflect a changed footprint and will be used to support a review of any development options.
Property Description and Location
The Batero-Quinchia Project is located within the Municipality of Quinchia, Department of Risaralda, Republic of Colombia, approximately 55 kilometres to the north of Risaralda's capital, Pereira. The Project consists of a 1,407 - hectare tenement plus one application for a concession contract of 155 hectares and is supported with full infrastructure including roads, water and power. The closest population centre, the town of Quinchia, lies 3 kilometres northwest of the tenement. The tenement is centered on the La Cumbre porphyry-gold target located at 420976E and 585718N, within Zone 18 north of the Universal Transverse Mercator grid (UTM WGS84).
Concession Agreements
On January 16, 2012, the Company reported that concession agreements are executed on 100% of the Company's property. On October 2, 2013, the Company confirmed that concession contract 18567 was formally and officially registered by ANM. This concession is part of the block of three concessions comprising the Company's 100% owned Batero-Quinchia Project. Concession contract 22270 was registered during October 2005, and registration of the remaining concession agreement 22159 was formalized October 20, 2019.
Technical Report on the Batero-Quinchia Project
On October 6, 2022, the Company announced the results of an updated mineral resource estimate for the La Cumbre deposit via press release (the "October Press Release") and filed a technical report on the updated mineral resource estimate with an effective date of December 31, 2021 entitled "Batero Gold Corp. La Cumbre Gold Project, Department of Risaralda, Colombia, NI 43-101 Technical Report on Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economics Assessment" (the "Report"), which was prepared by an independent consulting company,
2
Linares Americas Consulting S.A.C. ("LINAMEC").
On December 22, 2022, the Company announced that as part of a routine technical disclosure review by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC" or the "Commission"), the BCSC found that the Report prepared by LINAMEC did not comply with certain provisions of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and Form 43-101F1 – Technical Report (together, "NI 43-101"). As a result, mineral resource estimates in the Report should not be relied on until they have been verified and supported by an amended technical report prepared and filed in accordance with NI 43-101. Furthermore, the preliminary economic assessment contained in the Report were not prepared at a preliminary feasibility study level, and the disclosure in the Report with respect to the estimate of potential economic mineral resources which could be an advance estimate of the potential mineral reserves should not be relied upon.
On September 25, 2023, the Company announced the results of an updated mineral resource estimate for the La Cumbre deposit via press release and filed a technical report on the updated mineral resource estimate with an effective date of September 15, 2022, amended and restated report date of September 25, 2023 entitled "Batero Gold Corp. La Cumbre Gold Project, Department of Risaralda, Colombia, NI 43-101 Technical Report on Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment" (the "Report"), which was prepared by an independent consulting company, Linares Americas Consulting S.A.C. ("LINAMEC"). The Report incorporates the results of all drilling conducted between 2006 and 2017 in the area known as "La Cumbre", including 41,338.50 metres in 143 drill holes. The main objective was to evaluate the metal content of the oxide, transition, and primary zones, and to update the total Mineral Resource estimate for the La Cumbre Project. This Technical Report now includes the Mineral Resource estimate of the primary sulfide zone in addition to the oxide and transitional zones (Tables 1 to 4). The financial model prepared for the report presents an NPV5% post-tax of US$480.6 million, with a Post-Tax, IRR of 32.1% and a 2.5-year payback time. The base case scenario was valued under a gold price of US$1,750/oz, silver price of US$22.00/oz and the exchange at USD: COP 1.00:3963 (Table 5). The Qualified Persons responsible for the report believe that the La Cumbre Project is economically viable based on these prices.

Environmental, Social and Corporate Initiatives
Batero has completed all the technical studies related to the Environmental Impact Study ("EIA") with Servicios Ambientales y Geograficos ("SAG"). This may be registered with the National Environmental Authority ("ANLA") when the closing of the Pre-Consultation with the community Embera Karamba is formalized. Before registering, the Company must revise the validity of some monitoring activities of air, water, fauna and flora quality.
It was agreed between Minera Quinchia and Embera Karamba, and with the approval of the Minister, to carry out and schedule technical work groups to review and agree on a proposed methodological path. As a result, technical work groups were scheduled during which the Company again presented and explained its proposed methodological path in detail. The community decided to review the Company's presentation and prepare a counterproposal. On August 15, 2023, the Dirección la Autoridad Nacional de Consulta Previa convened a meeting, but representatives from the Embera Karamba community did not attend. The Ombudsman's Office proposed mediation through a technical roundtable on September 5, 2023, but was unable to agree on a date for the pre-consultation and opening meeting.
In addition to the ongoing work described above, the Company continues to strengthen its environmental and social management for the La Cumbre Project. The environmental team conducts continuous monitoring that feeds the Project's environmental baseline, including monthly measurements of water quality and streamflow, climate data collection, and groundwater level monitoring in drilling and piezometric wells across the area of influence. These activities support the preparation of the periodic technical reports required by the Regional Environmental Authority (CARDER). The Company also maintains active programs for the management and final disposal of solid and hazardous waste in coordination with authorized municipal and regional service providers.
During 2025 Efforts are being made to maintain an open and frequent dialogue with the Karamba indigenous community, with the aim of building a level of mutual trust that will facilitate the progress of the prior consultation process. These approaches seek to strengthen the effective participation of the community and guarantee a concerted and respectful development of the process
The Company's social and community development team has been successfully working in the Quinchia district for many years. Community participation, integral to the successful growth of the Company, includes the innovative "Farms for the Future" program for landowners that allows families to exchange farms within the Batero-Quinchia tenement
for potentially more productive farms a short distance away in an adjacent valley. The Company purchases the new farms and exchanges them for the farms within the Batero-Quinchia tenement. The Company focused on consolidating the Project's social license through ongoing engagement with local stakeholders. Jointly financed programs—developed with community organizations, local government, productive associations and Minera Quinchia—reached an investment of approximately US$25,000 between 2025 and 2025 last years. Initiatives included the rehabilitation of rural tertiary roads benefiting more than 2,000 residents, delivery of 800 school kits to local educational institutions, medical and dental brigades in rural areas, continued support of the La Cumbre Rural Symphonic School Band, and the strengthening of local sports organizations. The Company also supported strategic coffee-sector initiatives through co-financed agreements with regional producers' associations, contributing around 10% of total project costs to enhance productivity and competitiveness.
The Company holds regular meetings with the community to inform them about the work taking place at the project and is responsive to the needs of the community. Batero-Quinchia supports the local children's school band by providing funding, a place to practice and storage for the instruments. The Company also facilitates health care for the local community by providing facilities, booking appointments, and supporting the doctors and administrative staff when they are in the community.
The Company worked with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on a community-shared value program "Improving SocioEconomic Development for Families in Quinchia, Risaralda" in alliance with the Government of Canada. In the past the Company contributed more than $240,000 to the program which formally ended in 2016. The Company continues to support the program's goal of improving methods and processes in the local sugar cane industry by donating machinery and tools to the program. In addition, the Company works with the local government and educational institutions to provide facilities and training to students, so they can become technicians in the sugar cane industry.
Ongoing environmental monitoring carried out by the Company includes, but is not limited to, measurement of environmental parameters such as stream flow, water quality, precipitation, evaporation, and wind patterns. The Company informs the local community of the results of the monitoring.
The Company usually attends the National Mining Authority (ANM) of Manizales and Regional Environmental Corporation (CARDER) meetings in Pereira to update the project status. During Q4 the company updated the work plans and the mining-environmental insurance was renewed.

- The Company's risk exposure and financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss associated with a counter-party's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The
Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and receivables. Cash is mostly held in large Canadian financial institutions. Receivables consist primarily of amounts due from the federal Government of Canada. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to cash and receivables is low. The Company currently has limited credit risk from operations.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company prepares expenditure budgets which are regularly monitored and updated as considered necessary. To facilitate its exploration program and ongoing corporate, general and administrative overhead, the Company raises funds through private equity placements, public offerings and option agreements with third parties.
As at November 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $295,624 (August 31, 2025 – $35,144) to settle current liabilities of $192,174 (August 31, 2025 – $1,921,744).
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. There is limited interest rate risk due to the short-term nature of the Company's financial instruments.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company conducts its business in Colombia in Colombian pesos, and in Canada in Canadian dollars. An insignificant dollar value of business in each country is transacted in a currency that is foreign to that operation, and as a result any foreign currency risk inherent in day-to-day operations is minimal.
Capital Management
The Company's objective when managing capital, defined as its shareholders' equity, is to safeguard the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to acquire and explore mineral interests. The Company funds all administration and exploration programs from the issue of shares, generally through private placements. The Company prepares a budget for seasonal exploration programs and may initiate equity offerings to ensure sufficient funds for each season's programs. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising sufficient capital, exploration programs may be extended, delayed or cancelled. In order to conserve cash, the Company may issue shares to pay for properties or compensate directors, employees and contractors through stock options.
11. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
An investment in the Company involves a number of risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this report in evaluating the Company and its business before making any investment decision in the common shares of the Company. The Company's business, operating and financial condition could be harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair business operations.
Exploration and Mining Risks
The Company is engaged in mineral exploration and development activities. Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. 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 beyond the Company's control. Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of mineral resources, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property, and possible environmental damage.
9
Hazards such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions such as formation pressures, fire, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explorations, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable machinery, equipment or labour are involved in mineral exploration, development and operation. The Company may become subject to liability for pollution, cave-ins or hazards against which it cannot insure or against which the Company may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material, adverse effect on the Company's financial position.
The Company relies upon consultants and others for exploration and development expertise. Substantial expenditures are required to establish resources through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the resource and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining.
Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.
The economics of developing mineral properties are affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations in the grade of resource mined, fluctuations in metal markets, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.
Financing Risks
The Company is limited in both financial resources, and sources of operating cash flow and has no assurance that additional funding will be available to us for further exploration and development of its projects or to fulfill its obligations under any applicable agreements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Company's projects with the possible loss of such properties.
Regulatory Requirements
Even if the Company's mineral properties are proven to host economic mineral resources, factors such as governmental expropriation or regulation may prevent or restrict mining of any such deposits or repatriation of profits. The Company may acquire other properties in other jurisdictions or countries. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, and expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.
Uninsurable Risks
During exploration, development and production of mineral properties, certain risks, and in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and the Company has currently decided not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.
No Assurance of Titles
It is possible that any of the Company's properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Permits and Licenses
The operations of the Company may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that such licenses and permits as may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at the Company's projects will be granted.

Competition
The mineral industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than the Company for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.
In addition, there is no assurance that a ready market will exist for the sale of commercial quantities of resource. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of any substances discovered.
These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact 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 or losing its investment capital.
Environmental Regulations
The Company's operations may be 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 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 which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations.
Stage of Development
The Company is in the business of exploring for, with the goal of producing, mineral resources from its mineral exploration properties. None of the Company's properties have commenced commercial production and the Company has no history or earnings or cash flow from its operations. As a result of the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop any of its properties profitably or that its activities will generate positive cash flow. A prospective investor in the Company must be prepared to rely solely upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of its management in all aspects of the development and implementation of the Company business activities.
Markets for Securities
There can be no assurance that an active trading market in the Company's securities will be established and sustained. The market price for its securities could be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors such as commodity prices, government regulation, interest rates, share price movements of our peer companies and competitors, as well as overall market movements, may have a significant impact on the market price of the securities of the Company. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, particularly in the mining sector, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of companies.
Reliance on Key Individuals
The Company's success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. It is expected that these individuals will be a significant factor in its growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Geopolitical Risks
The Company may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on future exploitation and production, price controls, export controls, currency availability, income taxes,
delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary permits, opposition to mining from environmental and other non-governmental organizations, expropriation of property, ownership of assets, environmental legislation, labour relations, limitations on mineral exports, increased financing costs, and site safety. In addition, legislative enactments may be delayed or announced without being enacted and future political action that may adversely affect the Company cannot be predicted.
