COVID-19 Impacts

At the time of writing the Company’s plans and operations have been somewhat affected by the COVID-19 virus pandemic which arose during the quarter, although not, to date, in a materially negative way. Mineral exploration and development is designated an “essential service” under British Columbia’s COVID-19 State of Emergency orders, and the pandemic curve in the province has flattened. The Company’s key suppliers are all located relatively close to site in northern and central interior B.C. and, in cooperation with these suppliers, the Company has put in place virus mitigation protocols. Nonetheless, should the economic and market disruption resulting from COVID-19 continue for an extended period, or significant new outbreaks of the virus occur, the Company may find its ability to raise additional capital and/or execute its exploration programs restricted, in part or in whole.

Corporate History and Description of the Business

Evergold was incorporated as a privately held mineral exploration company in October 2015, to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Canada. The Company’s focus quickly turned to the province of British Columbia and the four 100%-owned property assets that now comprise its portfolio: Snoball , located in the heart of northwestern B.C.’s so-called “Golden Triangle”; Golden Lion , located well to the east of Snoball in similar Stikine terrane rocks, at the north end of the Toodoggone region and 70 kilometres northwest of the Kemess mine; Holy Cross , located in central B.C. 60 kilometres due north of New Gold’s Blackwater deposit; and Spanish Lake , located in the Cariboo region of central interior B.C., approximately 8 kilometres southeast of the Spanish Mountain gold deposit. Snoball, Golden Lion, and Holy Cross are interpreted as intrusion-related, precious and base metalsenriched systems. Each presents the potential for a variety of mineralization styles, including high-grade epithermal-style quartz-carbonate gold-silver veins, high-grade copper-gold-silver carbonate replacement/skarns, and bulk tonnage porphyry-style copper-gold-silver. Spanish Lake is a sedimenthosted vein gold prospect.

All four properties were acquired effective April 5, 2016, further to a Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”), between the Company and vendor C.J. Greig Holdings Ltd. of Penticton, B.C., a company controlled by C.J. (Charlie) Greig. Charlie Greig is as of the time of writing a senior technical advisor, insider, and a principal shareholder of, Evergold Corp. There were no staged cash payment or work commitment elements in the Agreement. In addition, the Agreement includes a 0.5% Net Smelter Returns (“NSR”) royalty payable on any future production from each of the four properties. There are no buy-back options on the NSRs.

Through the course of 2017 and 2018, the Company largely lay dormant as management focused on other business interests. However, some key exploration work, consisting mainly of geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys, was carried out in both years on the Company’s flagship Snoball and Golden Lion properties, with encouraging results. Accordingly, in February 2019, management commenced a process to take the Company public through an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) process on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). Fundamental to this process was the preparation, by David W. Tupper, B.Sc., P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, of compliant Technical Reports for both the Snoball and Golden Lion properties. Copies of both these documents may be viewed on the Company’s website at www.evergoldcorp.ca and from its profile at www.sedar.com.

On October 4, 2019, the Company successfully completed its IPO and attendant listing of its shares under the ticker “EVER” on the TSXV for gross proceeds of $3.45 million.

In March and April, 2020, the Company listed its shares under the ticker symbol “5EG” on three German stock exchanges: Frankfurt, Munich and Tradegate.

On May 21, 2020, the Company closed a private placement of 1,757,388 common shares on a flow-through basis at a price of $0.67 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,177,450 (the “Offering”). Net proceeds of the Offering will be used for exploration, primarily drilling, of high-priority targets on the Company’s Snoball and Golden Lion properties in northern British Columbia, Canada. In connection with the Offering the Company has paid cash finder's fees of $40,000 and issued 35,147 finder warrants. All shares issued in the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period from closing.

Property Assets and Exploration Activities

Snoball Property

A comprehensive NI 43-101 Technical Report is available for the Snoball property from the Company’s website at www.evergoldcorp.ca and from its profile at www.sedar.com.

The helicopter accessible, 3,545-hectare Snoball property is located in northwestern British Columbia, approximately 140 kilometres north-northwest of the village of Stewart, 25 kilometres northwest of the Bob Quinn Lake gravel airstrip, and 12 kilometres as the crow flies from highway 37. The property is situated within the traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation, which has demonstrated itself to be strongly supportive of mineral exploration and development, where the related activities are conducted to high standards within areas specifically targeted for mineral exploration, and carried out in a manner respectful of the environment and traditional users of the affected areas. A 100% ownership interest in the property was acquired effective April 5, 2016, further to the Acquisition Agreement described above, details of which may be found in the Company’s prospectus dated September 16, 2019, copies of which are available from www.sedar.com. A 0.5% NSR royalty payable to the property vendor on any future production is the sole remaining corporate obligation in relation thereto.

The Snoball prospect is a precious metals-enriched, intrusion-related system, centred on a body of diorite emplaced along the northwest-trending, faulted contact between Stuhini Group sedimentary rocks to the west, and Hazelton Group volcanics to the east (the BC Geological Survey’s so-called “Red Line”). Known mineralization styles include 1) high-grade vein-hosted gold-silver, 2) carbonate replacement/skarn, and 3) disseminated bulk tonnage style gold-silver in hornfelsed sediments overlying the intrusion. Potential also exists for bulk-tonnage porphyry-style gold-silver-copper in the intrusion itself.

The property has seen several historical work programs, including gridded geochemical sampling of soils and rocks, mapping, trenching and geophysics, culminating with drilling by Noranda in 1992 (12 holes for 1,500 metres). The great bulk of this historical work, including all of the historical diamond drilling, took place at lower elevations on this rugged property.

==> picture [167 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Evergold’s initial evaluation of historical sampling results suggested the actual source of a strong multielement soil and rock anomaly developed by Noranda was up-slope to the north, at higher elevations well above the areas historically drilled. The Company’s own soil and rock sampling (2016, 2017, 2018) of areas up-slope strongly reinforced this hypothesis, and pointed to the principal source of the multi-element anomaly as lying along and below Snoball Ridge and Pyramid Peak, neither of which have ever been drilled.

Recent Exploration Activities on the Snoball Property

Plans were advanced during the quarter for the forthcoming season’s exploration activities on the Snoball property, which will largely consist of first-ever drilling of the Pyramid Peak and Snoball Ridge targets, for which purpose two key pads were constructed in September last year. One of these pads is located directly on top of Pyramid Peak, interpreted as the possible intrusive centre, from which holes can be drilled to all azimuths. The second is located about one kilometre to the west along Snoball Ridge, targeting the outlying high-grade UT Vein zone. The Phase I Snoball drilling program will be carried out using helicopter support from a temporary camp set up at Burrage airstrip on nearby highway 37, about 12 kilometres from site. At the time of writing, organization of the supplier and logistical aspects of the 2020 Snoball field program are well advanced, with contracts for drilling, environmental, helicopter, camp and labour services all having been let, and deposits made. Work to set up camp and mobe in a drill is expected to get underway around June 15, with drilling to commence shortly thereafter.

First Nation Relationships, Snoball Property

During the quarter the Company signed both a Communications and Engagement Agreement and an Opportunity Sharing Agreement with the Tahltan Central Government (“TCG”). Under the former the Company has agreed to keep the Tahltan Nation well informed of ongoing and/or potential economic activities occurring within the Tahltan traditional territory, and to support the activities of the TCG. Under the latter, the Company has agreed to make best efforts to employ Tahltan Nation members and engage Tahltan businesses to carry out or supply goods and services to its exploration activities within the Tahltan traditional territory. At the time of writing these positive, relationship-building initiatives have borne considerable fruit, with several Tahltan members and multiple Tahltan-owned businesses in the running or already engaged to participate in the Company’s 2020 field season at Snoball.

Golden Lion Property

A comprehensive NI 43-101 Technical Report is available for the Golden Lion property from the Company’s website at www.evergoldcorp.ca and from its profile at www.sedar.com.

The helicopter accessible, 5,099-hectare Golden Lion property is located in the Toodoggone region of northcentral British Columbia, approximately 308 kilometres north of Smithers, 70 kilometres northwest of the Kemess copper-gold mine, and 24 kilometres north of the Lawyers (Baker-Cheni Mine) project. The property is situated within the traditional territory of the Kaska Dena Nation, and more particularly the Kwadacha and Tsay Keh Dene communities, located some 80 to 100 kilometres to the east. A 100% ownership interest in the property was acquired effective April 5, 2016, further to the Acquisition Agreement described above, details of which may be found in the Company’s prospectus dated September 16, 2019, copies of which are available at www.sedar.com. A 0.5% NSR royalty payable to the property vendor on any future production is the sole remaining corporate obligation in relation thereto.

The Golden Lion property exhibits high grades of gold, silver and copper in selected outcrop, and high values of a spectrum of indicator elements in soil sampling, across three broad priority target areas known, respectively, as “GL1”, “GL2” and “GL3”. Styles of mineralization identified to date on the property include high-grade vein-hosted epithermal gold-silver, copper-gold-silver carbonate replacement/skarn, and porphyry-style copper-gold-silver.

Evergold acquired the Golden Lion property in May, 2016 which at that time encompassed just 190 hectares overlying the historical Golden Lion showing area, now constituting the core of the GL1 target area. The Golden Lion showing was the focus of considerable work by Newmont in the period from 1982 to 1984, including sampling, mapping, trenching, and geophysics, and culminating in the drilling of 22 holes for 2,475 metres in 1984. Evergold added another 1,337 hectares of claims in May 2017, following which it carried out its first exploration program that summer, concentrating on the GL1 target area. A second field program was carried out in 2018, focused on the newly-acquired claims to the east and northeast underlying what are now the GL2 and GL3 target areas. The results of these programs were considered highly encouraging, in consequence of which the Company again expanded the property size early in 2019 with the staking of an additional 3,572 hectares.

Recent Exploration Activities on the Golden Lion Property

Plans were advanced during the quarter for the forthcoming season’s exploration activities on the Golden Lion property.

On February 10, 2020, analytical results were released from a limited program of rock and soil sampling conducted last summer at the GL1 and GL2 target areas, which included highs to 14.95 g/t gold in sequential soil samples at the newly-identified “GL1 North Ridge” target, and 13,406 g/t (13.4 kg/t) silver and 15.9% copper in selected rock samples from the “GL1 Core Area” and “GL2 Skarn” targets respectively. Readers should note that rock grab samples are by their nature selective and not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

A multi-year area-based drill permit was received for Golden Lion on February 29, 2020, setting the stage for execution of the Company’s exploration plans. In addition, shortly after quarter’s end, crucial work on the bridges along the road leading to Golden Lion was completed with financial assistance from the Company and other parties (see First Nation Relationships , below).

Field work at Golden Lion got under way on May 20[th] with a baseline environmental survey carried out by helicopter. This will be followed, about mid-June, subject to snow conditions, by the commencement of geophysical, geochemical and geological programs to refine drill targets. Drilling is expected to start in the latter half of July.

At the time of writing, organization of the supplier and logistical aspects of the 2020 Golden Lion field program are well advanced, with contracts for drilling, environmental, helicopter, camp and labour services all having been let, and deposits made.

First Nation Relationships, Golden Lion Property

The Golden Lion property falls within the traditional territories of two aboriginal groups: the Tahltan and Kaska Dena, and to the north of that of a third, the Sekani. The closest first nation is the Kaska Dena community of Kwadacha (Fort Ware), located some 80 kms over the mountains to the east, and to its south, the Sekani community of Tsay Keh Dene.

During the quarter the Company signed both a Communications and Engagement Agreement and an Opportunity Sharing Agreement with the Tahltan Central Government (“TCG”). Under the former the Company has agreed to keep the Tahltan Nation well informed of ongoing and/or potential economic activities occurring within the Tahltan traditional territory, and to support the activities of the TCG. Under the latter, the Company has agreed to make best efforts to employ Tahltan Nation members and engage Tahltan businesses to supply goods and services to its exploration activities within the Tahltan traditional territory. At the time of writing these positive, relationship-building initiatives have borne considerable fruit, with several Tahltan members and multiple Tahltan-owned businesses in the running or already engaged to participate in the Company’s 2020 field season at Golden Lion.

During the quarter Company management also engaged in a meaningful way with both the Tsay Keh Dene and Kwadacha First Nations. With financial support from a consortium of industry participants including the Company and the B.C. Government, contractors and personnel from Tsay Keh Dene and Kwadacha were engaged to complete crucial maintenance work on the Omineca Resource Road and its bridges, leading toward site. The work successfully wrapped up late in April.

In January the Company also covered the travel costs for a group of three young people from Kwadacha and their chaperone to attend the annual Cordilleran Roundup in Vancouver, where they were shown around and introduced to the mineral exploration and extraction industry. As it turned out, most of the golden nuggets on display in one of the show booths had been mined by members of first nations from the rivers of northern B.C.

Holy Cross Property

The road accessible, 1,872-hectare Holy Cross property is located in central British Columbia, Canada, approximately 30 kilometres south of the community of Fraser Lake, and north of the Blackwater gold deposit. A 100% ownership interest in the property was acquired effective April 5, 2016, further to the Acquisition Agreement described above, details of which may be found in the Company’s prospectus dated September 16, 2019, copies of which are available at www.sedar.com. A 0.5% NSR royalty payable to the property vendor on any future production is the sole remaining corporate obligation in relation thereto.

The primary target type on the Holy Cross property is high-grade and/or bulk-tonnage intrusion-related gold+/-silver+/-copper. The property is predominantly underlain by volcanic rocks of the Middle Jurassic to Eocene age Ootsa Group, which have been intruded by a large Jurassic age quartz monzonite stock on the northern portion of the tenures.

Historically mapped, trenched, sampled and surveyed by Noranda (1987-89) with encouraging results (e.g. 1 gram of gold per tonne (g/t Au) over 8.5 metres in chips, and 24.02 g/t Au and 20.8 g/t Ag from grabs), but never drilled, Holy Cross hosts a robust siliceous alteration system carrying locally elevated gold, copper and silver values over a large area, with attractive coincident geochemical-geophysical anomalies. Part of the property’s allure is the heavy glacial drift coverage, which has camouflaged the underlying bedrock.

Recent Exploration Activities on the Holy Cross Property

Some limited review of exploration results to date on the property and forward planning for potential additional work took place during the quarter.

Spanish Lake Property

The road accessible, 1,573-hectare Spanish Lake property is located in the Cariboo Mining District of central British Columbia, Canada, some 80 kilometres east-northeast of Williams Lake and approximately 8 kilometres southeast along strike from the > 5 million ounce Spanish Mountain gold deposit. A 100% ownership interest in the property was acquired effective April 5, 2016, further to the Acquisition Agreement described above, details of which may be found in the Company’s prospectus dated September 16, 2019, copies of which are available at www.sedar.com. A 0.5% NSR royalty payable to the property vendor on any future production is the sole remaining corporate obligation in relation thereto.

The Spanish Lake property has excellent potential to host a sediment-hosted vein gold system akin to that at the nearby Spanish Mountain deposit. Drilling by previous operator Dajin Resources in 2011 (12 NQ2 diametre core holes for 2,484 metres) intercepted long intervals of low-grade Spanish Mountain-style gold (i.e. sediment-hosted, with abundant microstructures and veining). Best results were achieved from the most southerly group of holes, with AD1-2011-7, 8, 11 and 12 each ending in mineralization, and the two southwestern-most holes AD1-2011-11 and 12 returning long intervals (92 and 85.2 metres respectively) of very low-grade gold mineralization. True thicknesses are not known. The results suggest that only the fringes of a newly discovered zone have been tested. Facing a major industry downturn, Dajin Resources

walked away from the property without filing an assessment report. In 2016 Evergold acquired the property, expanded its size and, in 2017, completed a report on the 2011 work.

As grade and intersection lengths increase to the south and west in the southern 2011 drill pattern, a future program of IP and auger soil geochemical sampling has been proposed to target this under-explored, tillcovered area. If results of this work were found to be encouraging, drilling would follow.

Recent Exploration Activities on the Spanish Lake Property

Other than reporting of 2019 exploration activities for assessment purposes, no new exploration activities were carried out on the Spanish Lake property during the quarter.

Marketing Activities

In the junior resource space, the first quarter of each calendar year is typically the busiest of the year from a marketing and promotion perspective, with several of the most important industry shows and events taking place during it. As a newly-listed company struggling for recognition, Evergold management made broadening awareness of the Company and its exploration plans a priority during the quarter. This involved participation in the key Vancouver Resource Investment Conference and AMEBC Cordilleran Roundup events in January, the Toronto Metals Investor Forum in late February, and the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada show in Toronto in early March. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, events moved mostly on-line from March 10 onward, with the Company participating in a Webinar hosted by O&M Partners on March 19, and a “Virtual” Metals Investor Forum on April 30, among other interviews and initiatives.

These activities were supplemented with the production of numerous investor-oriented videos and commercials, for example with BTV, posted to social media and the web and running on BNN Bloomberg, as well as selected on-line and print advertising initiatives. Company management made a conscious effort to remain very active on the marketing and promotion front throughout the onset of COVID-19, on the theory that investors forced to stay home and physically isolate, might spend more time viewing media. This theory was borne out by subsequent advertising campaign reporting results which showed viewings for the Company’s commercials running far higher than would normally be the case; for example: 3,996,897 impressions/viewers during both runs in March on BNN Bloomberg and Bloomberg US.

The Company also sought to build awareness in the Chinese and German language markets by developing corporate profiles in both languages, translating selected news releases, and seeking and achieving (March 30, 2020) a listing of its shares on the Frankfurt market in Germany, followed within days thereafter by listings on the Munich and Tradegate markets, also in Germany. The Company’s unique identifier for German markets is A2PTHZ. The results of these initiatives have been noteworthy, with considerable attention paid to the Company’s prospects in Germany, as evidenced by robust trading of the Company’s stock on German exchanges.

Overall Performance and Outlook

Evergold is not a producer and will likely never have revenues, profits nor dividends. Investors should not, therefore, look to Evergold for these types of returns. Rather, our mission at Evergold is to deliver discoveries with the drill bit – and to provide our shareholders with the capital gains opportunities that often come with them.

As a new company launched on public markets only in October last year, Evergold faced the usual challenge of building from a standing start, awareness of the Company and its plans. The promotional efforts embarked upon in the months since then have clearly been effective, as indicated by very strong share price appreciation from the 20 cent Offering price on the day of the Company’s IPO on October 4,

8

Evergold Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [167 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

2020, to the range of 60 cents at the time of writing. This share price appreciation has been supported by attendant very strong growth in daily volumes traded, and the numbers of trades.

The Company is now, in the parlance of the industry, a “liquid stock”, notwithstanding the fact that its publicly tradeable float is presently on the order of just some 23 million shares, accounting for shares held in escrow for insiders. This is a testament to the effectiveness of the marketing efforts since the Company’s public listing, coupled with the prospectus-based IPO nature of that listing, which resulted in wide distribution of the stock to hundreds of new shareholders, in contrast to a private placement alternative which might have seen the stock placed with a limited number of high net worth investors.

In short, as of the date of writing, the Company now advantageously combines a considerable market following and attractive market positioning, with its pre-existing strengths in management, properties and capitalization.

All of these factors bode well for the outlook further into 2020. Shareholders may anticipate that drilling success on either Snoball or Golden Lion – or both – may result in an expansion of exploration activities beyond those presently planned for, and a corresponding need for additional capital. Management has shown itself capable of raising capital and advancing corporate plans and shareholder interests through uniquely challenging circumstances, and believes it can continue to do so.

All categories of operating expenses saw increases resulting from implementation of the Company’s scaled-up business plan and heightened overheads as a public company following the completion of the October 4, 2019 initial public offering.

Exploration expenses totaled $76,544 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $29,686 in the prior year period. Exploration expenditures on the Company’s Snoball property totaled $8,745 (2019 - $12,936) for the first quarter of 2020 and included $2,587 (2019 - $nil) spent on training of key personnel in preparation for the 2020 field season, and $5,083 (2019 - $nil) in support of First Nation engagement. Expenditures on the Golden Lion property totaled $63,708 for the first three months of 2020 (2019 - $16,675) and included $50,664 (2019 - $nil) as the Company’s share of repairs to bridges along the access road, $8,770 (2019 - $nil) in support of First Nation engagement, and $2,587 spent on training (2019 - $nil) of key personnel in preparation for the 2020 field season. Exploration expenditures on the Company’s Holy Cross property were $678 for the first quarter of 2020 (2019 - $nil). Spanish Lake expenditures were $3,413 for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $75 in the prior year, relating to reporting for assessment purposes of exploration activities carried out in 2019.

The Company’s successful emergence as a public issuer brought with it an increase in overheads necessitated by the need to meet public company governance and reporting standards, and more significantly, a considerable increase in marketing and promoting expenses, as management acted to broaden awareness of the Company and its plans. $51,000 (2019 - $31,000) was spent in the first quarter of 2020 on management and consulting (CEO and CFO combined), $17,872 (2019 - $3,750) was spent on professional fees, primarily reflecting an increase in audit expenses as the Company became a reporting issuer, and $183,392 (2019 - $11,252) was spent in the general and administrative category, primarily reflecting increased marketing and promotional expenses ($163,453 spent in 2020 versus $nil in 2019), stock exchange fees ($1,297 in 2020 versus $nil in 2019) and transfer agent fees ($1,656 in 2020 versus $1,260 in 2019). Operating expenses also included non-cash expenditures of $33,234 (2019 - $nil) related to share-based compensation as a result of the issuance of stock options to directors, officers, and consultants.

The following table sets out selected quarterly results of the Company for the eight quarters prior to the effective date of this report. The information contained herein is drawn from the unaudited interim financial statements of the Company for interim periods from before December 31, 2019 when auditing of the financial statements began.

Notes:

(1) As described in Note 5 to the Financial Statements, the 2016 Agreement to acquire the Company’s four exploration properties was entered into with C.J. Greig Holdings Ltd., a company owned and controlled by a then-director and officer of the Company, C.J. (Charlie) Greig. Mr. Greig stepped down as a director of the Company on June 25, 2019, but continues to serve as senior technical advisor to the Company, and his spouse Bernice Greig is a Company director. C.J. Greig Holdings Ltd. continues to hold four 0.5% NSRs, one for each of the Company’s four mineral properties, that resulted from the Agreement. C.J. Greig & Associates Ltd. continues to provide under contract the services of multiple geologists to the Company, including the Company’s Vice President, Exploration, Andrew Mitchell.

During the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company expensed $29,785 (March 31, 2019 - $nil) in sharebased compensation related to options granted to Officers and Directors of the Company.

In accordance with IAS 24, key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company directly or indirectly, including directors (executive or non-executive) of the Company.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Outlook

Evergold is an exploration-stage company and does not generate revenues. As such, it finances all of its operations and the exploration of its mineral properties entirely through the issuance of share capital. Although the Company has to date been successful in its attempts to raise capital, there can be no assurance that its future efforts will likewise be successful. The mineral exploration business is high risk and the vast majority of exploration projects on which capital is spent will not result in producing mines. The success of future financings will depend on a variety of factors including geological success – i.e. obtaining superior results from exploration; a positive investment climate encompassing strong metal prices, solid stock market conditions, and a “risk-on” appetite among investors; and the Company’s track record and its management’s ability and experience. If such financing is unavailable, Evergold may be unable to retain its mineral interests and execute its business plans.

On October 4, 2019, Evergold closed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) of 17,250,000 units at a purchase price of $0.20 per unit for gross proceeds of $3,450,000. Each unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to

12

==> picture [167 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

purchase one common share for a period of 24 months from closing at a price of $0.25. In connection with the offering, the Company paid the agents a commission of $241,500 equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the offering, and issued to the agents 1,207,500 common share purchase warrants entitling the agents to purchase one common share at a price of $0.20 per common share until October 4, 2021.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $1,940,842 compared to $2,272,881 at December 31, 2019.

On May 21, 2020, the Company closed a private placement of 1,757,388 common shares on a flow-through basis at a price of $0.67 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,177,450 (the “Offering”). Net proceeds of the Offering will be used for exploration, primarily drilling, of high-priority targets on the Company’s Snoball and Golden Lion properties in northern British Columbia, Canada. In connection with the Offering the Company paid cash finder's fees of $40,000 and issued 35,147 finder warrants. All shares issued in the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period from closing.

Based on the scale of currently anticipated exploration programs and ability to execute, both of which may change, management believes it has sufficient resources to maintain operations for 14 months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as at December 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies and the adoption of new accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 to the interim financial statements prepared for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements include the Company’s estimate of the recoverable value of its mineral exploration properties and related deferred exploration and evaluation expenditures, as well as the value of stock-based compensation. These estimates involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of the Company’s control.

The factors affecting stock-based compensation include estimates of when stock options and compensation warrants might be exercised and stock price volatility. The timing of exercise of options is out of the Company’s control and will depend on a variety of factors, including the market value of the Company’s shares and the financial objectives of the share-based instrument holders. The Company used historical data to determine volatility in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model. However, the future volatility is uncertain and the model has its limitations.

The recoverability of the recorded value of the Company’s mineral exploration properties and associated deferred exploration and evaluation expenses is based on current market conditions for metals and minerals, underlying mineral resources associated with the properties, and future costs that may be required for the ultimate realization of value through mining operations or by sale. The Company operates in an industry that is dependent upon and subject to an array of factors and risks including environmental, legal and political risks, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete exploration and development, and/or achieve profitable production, or realize value through the disposition of property assets.

Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Contingencies

The Company’s exploration activities are subject to various provincial and federal laws and regulations governing the protection of archaeological heritage and the environment. Prior to the execution of any exploration programs involving site disturbance, such as on-site camps and drilling operations, application must be made to the appropriate B.C. government ministries for an exploration permit. Permit applications must provide specific detail with regard to the Company’s plans including, among other things, the nature and estimated total area of surface disturbance, impacts on wildlife, surveys for cultural artifacts, plans for waste disposal, and use of locally-sourced water, etc. Prior to the start of work, reclamation bonds must be posted with the B.C. Government to cover remediation of disturbed sites following program completion. As of the date of writing the Company has posted a $25,000 reclamation bond covering anticipated work on the Snoball property, a $27,000 reclamation bond covering anticipated work on the Golden Lion property, and a $5,000 reclamation bond covering anticipated work on the Holy Cross property, for a combined total of $57,000.

Management Contract

The Company has entered into an engagement agreement with Kevin Keough, of indefinite term, to provide President and CEO services and to undertake the duties and exercise the powers associated with this role. The Company pays Mr. Keough $150,000 per annum. Upon the occurrence of a change of control or termination without cause, the engagement agreement requires additional contingent payments equal to 12 months of salary. As a triggering event has not taken place, the contingent payments have not been reflected in these financial statements.

Financial Instruments & Risks

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, other receivables, reclamation bonds, trade and other payables, accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties.

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: liquidity risk, market risk (including interest rate, foreign exchange rate and price risk) and credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.

Credit Risk

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and receivables included in amounts receivable and prepaid expenses. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Financial instruments included in amounts receivable and prepaid expenses consist of goods and services tax due from the Federal Government of Canada. Accordingly, management believes that the credit risk associated with these financial instruments is low.

14

Evergold Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [167 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Liquidity Risk

The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient capital on hand to meet liabilities when due. The Company's financial liabilities generally have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $1,866,455 (December 31, 2019 - $2,247,406) to settle current liabilities of $78,840 (December 31, 2019 - $87,594). On October 4, 2019, the Company completed its planned initial public offering for gross proceeds of $3.45 million, which has provided funds for the execution of Evergold’s business plan as detailed in its IPO prospectus, which is largely focused on the drilling of both the Snoball and Golden Lion properties. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern beyond the pending 2020 field season will be dependent upon the success of the anticipated Snoball and Golden Lion drill programs and, building off any such success, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital from investors. Based on the scale of currently anticipated exploration programs and ability to execute, both of which may change, the Company’s management believes it has sufficient resources to maintain operations for 14 months.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances subject to interest. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and virtually all purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company is therefore not exposed to foreign exchange risk.

Price Risk

Though not generally impacting day-to-day operations, the Company is exposed to price risk arising from fluctuating commodity prices, with lower metal prices in particular having the potential to negatively impact the prospect for successful future financings and the viability of proposed projects. Under strong economic conditions, price inflation can also negatively impact the viability of planned exploration programs and project development plans. Accordingly, the Company monitors commodity prices, economic conditions and rates of inflation on a regular basis, to keep appraised of trends.

Capital Management

When managing capital, the Company’s foremost objective is to generate optimal returns for shareholders. This requires first ensuring that Evergold continues as a going concern and, secondly, that capital resources are deployed cost-effectively into only those properties and those specific exploration targets and activities, which management believes have the greatest potential to generate positive returns for shareholders. As the Company is essentially a capital pool established to carry out high-risk / potential high reward exploration, with no short or medium-term prospect whatsoever of generating revenues or profits, management seeks instead to deliver positive returns for shareholders through the share price appreciation and capital gains opportunities that usually go hand-in-hand with significant new mineral discoveries, and the further advancement of those discoveries. Management seeks to have sufficient capital on hand to

achieve its near-term exploration objectives and to advance discoveries when achieved, as expeditiously as possible. In doing so, it seeks a balance between minimizing shareholder dilution and maintaining an attractive capital structure on the one hand, and the need to achieve and advance discoveries of merit on the other. Management cannot deliver sustainable shareholder returns, in the absence of discoveries of merit.

15

Evergold Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [167 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Given the nature of the business, the Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management team to generate discoveries and attendant share price appreciation. The Company considers its capital to be equity, which is comprised of capital stock, share purchase warrants, broker compensation warrants, contributed surplus and deficit.

The Company’s four properties are all in the exploration stage and the Company has neither revenues nor profits. As such the Company is wholly dependent upon external financing to fund its planned exploration programs and administration costs. The Company will therefore spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts when conditions permit it to do so.

Management has chosen to mitigate the risk and uncertainty associated with raising additional capital in current economic conditions by:

  • (i) ensuring cost-effective deployment of existing funds, generally through competitive bidding;

  • (ii) avoiding project “overstretch” – i.e. too many properties and projects, and too many commitments;

  • (iii) minimizing discretionary disbursements;

  • (iv) reducing or eliminating exploration expenditures that are of limited value;

  • (v) maintaining a liquidity cushion in order to address any potential disruptions or industry downturns; and

  • (vi) exploring alternative sources of liquidity.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is appropriate. The Company is not presently subject to any capital requirements imposed by a regulator or lending institution body.

Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data (as at May 28, 2020)

On October 4, 2019, the Company closed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) of 17,250,000 units at a purchase price of $0.20 per unit for gross proceeds of $3,450,000. Each unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share for a period of 24 months from closing at a price of $0.25. In connection with the offering, the Company paid the agents a commission of $241,500 equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the offering, and issued to the agents 1,207,500 common share purchase warrants entitling the agents to purchase one common share at a price of $0.20 per common share until October 4, 2021.

On May 21, 2020, the Company closed a private placement of 1,757,388 common shares on a flow-through basis at a price of $0.67 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,177,450 (the “Offering”). Net proceeds of the Offering will be used for exploration, primarily drilling, of high-priority targets on the Company’s Snoball and Golden Lion properties in northern British Columbia, Canada. In connection with the Offering the Company has paid cash finder's fees of $40,000 and issued 35,147 finder warrants. All shares issued in the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period from closing.

The Company has adopted a stock option plan (the “Option Plan”) for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. Under the Option Plan, the Company may grant non-transferable options to purchase common shares of the Company for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant. The maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan together with any common shares reserved for issuance pursuant to any other stock options may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.

16

Evergold Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [167 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

The exercise price of options is determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant and cannot be less than the price permitted by any exchange on which the Company’s common shares are listed or any regulatory body having jurisdiction. Currently, the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) requires that the exercise price of the options must be equal to or greater than the Discounted Market Price (as defined in the policies of the TSX-V). The exercise price of options is solely payable in cash. The Board of Directors has the discretion to determine the term and vesting provisions of any options granted under the Option Plan at the time of grant subject to the policies of the TSX-V.

Concurrent with the closing of the IPO, the Company granted a total of 2,380,000 options to directors, officers and consultants, to purchase common shares of the Company.

The following is a description of the outstanding equity securities and convertible securities issued by the Company:

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s securities should be considered high risk and highly speculative due to the nature of its business.

Capitalization and Commercial Viability Risks

The Company will require additional funds to further explore and, conditional upon exploration success, potentially develop and mine its properties. The Company has limited financial resources, and there is no assurance that additional funding will be available to it to carry out the completion of all proposed activities, for additional exploration, or for financing the high-cost development typically required to place a property into commercial production. Although the Company has in the past been successful in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that it will in the future be able to obtain adequate financing on acceptable terms. Failure to obtain additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its properties, and the loss of part or all of its ownership position in its properties.

Global Financial Condition Risks

Global financial conditions have in recent years been, and continue to be, subject to heightened instability and increased volatility. Access to public capital markets for junior exploration companies has at times been restricted and/or nearly non-existent. These factors could continue to negatively impact the ability of the Company to in future obtain equity or debt financing on terms favourable to the Company, if at all.

Exploration and Development Risks

Mineral exploration and development entails a very high degree of risk. Very few properties which are explored, ultimately develop into producing mines.

The Company’s properties do not presently contain mineral “resources” or “reserves”, as those terms are defined in National Instrument 43-101, nor is there any guarantee that they ever shall. The process of confirming, or alternatively disproving, the presence of resources or reserves on the Company’s properties will require following an exploration and development pathway comprised of sequential steps, the execution of each of which is fraught with risk and predicated on successful results from the step immediately prior to it. Failure at any step generally, though not always, puts an end to exploration or development activities. As the exploration and development pathway is followed, the metal or mineral content of the area under exploration is quantified and assessed to an increasing degree of certainty, generally by increasing the density of drilling and the amount of sampling and assaying, coupled with volume and grade modelling. With increasing certainty comes, initially, “Inferred” level resources, followed by resources in the “Indicated” and “Measured” categories, none of which have demonstrated economic viability. Only through the later application of technical (metallurgical, mining, processing, environmental etc.) and economic parameters appropriate to the resources under study, and the completion of pre-feasibility and ultimately, feasibility studies by qualified geologists, engineers and geoscientists, can resources potentially be converted to “reserves” (“ore”), which by definition would be potentially economic to mine and process, under the technical and economic criteria utilized in the feasibility study or studies applied to them. These steps and activities are costly.

18

Evergold Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [167 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Should ore reserves ultimately be demonstrated to exist on the Company’s properties, a positive decision to take the ore reserves thus demonstrated to commercial production would not be a given. In addition to the steps and studies detailed above, a positive production decision would require environmental approvals, the securing of various permits, and consideration and evaluation of additional factors including, but not limited to: (1) the cost of construction of production facilities; (2) the availability and cost of financing; (3) anticipated ongoing costs of production; (4) market prices for the minerals to be produced; (5) environmental compliance regulations and restraints (including potential environmental liabilities associated with historical exploration activities); and (6) the political climate and/or governmental regulation and control.

The ability of the Company to profit from the sale of any eventual production from any of the Company’s properties, or the sale of the Company at any stage preceding production, will be subject to the prevailing conditions in the marketplace at the time of sale. Many of these factors are beyond the control of the Company and therefore represent a market risk which could impact the long-term viability of the Company and its operations.

Title Risks

While the Company has performed its own due diligence with respect to title of its four properties, this should not be construed as a guarantee of title. The properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, and title may be affected by undetected defects. Until any such competing interests have been determined, there can be no assurance as to the validity of title of the properties.

First Nation Risks

The nature and extent of First Nation rights and title remains the subject of active debate, claims, litigation and uncertainty in Canada including with respect to relations between First Nation authorities and federal, provincial and territorial authorities. There can be no guarantee that such claims and uncertainties will not cause permitting delays, unexpected interruptions or additional costs for the Company’s projects.

Infrastructure Risks

Exploration, development, mining and processing activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supplies are important determinants which affect access to properties; the efficiency, timeliness and type of exploration activities carried out; the ability to develop prospects, development capital costs, and ongoing operating expenses. The Company’s properties lie in remote areas with limited infrastructure. In addition, weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect the Company’s operations, financial condition and results.

Competition Risks

The exploration and mining industry is highly competitive, both for mineral properties and key personnel. Many of the Company’s competitors for the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties, and for capital to finance such activities, will have greater financial and personnel resources available to them than the Company.

19

Evergold Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [167 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Environmental Risks

All phases of the exploration and mining business present environmental risks and hazards and are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to provincial, federal and, on occasion, municipal laws and regulations. Environmental legislation provides for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with exploration and mining operations. The legislation also requires that exploration and mine sites be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner resulting in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the profitability of operations.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in exploration and mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the exploration and mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mineral resource companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at any future producing properties or require abandonment or delays in the development of new mining properties.

Reliance on Key Employee Risks

The success of the Company will be largely dependent upon the performance of its management and key employees. Potential investors should realize that they are relying upon the continued good health, experience, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of the management of the Company. The Company has no backup for any of its key people, the loss of any one of whom, whether due to poor health or loss to competitors, could adversely affect the Company’s ability to execute its business plans. The Company does not maintain life insurance policies in respect of its key personnel.

Permitting and Licensing Risks

The exploration operations of the Company require licenses and permits from government authorities which are granted subject to various conditions and must be renewed from time to time. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain, or once obtained renew, the licenses and permits required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at its projects.

No History of Earnings Risks

Negative Operating Cash Flow Risks

Since inception, the Company has had negative operating cash flow and incurred losses. The negative operating cash flow and losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company may never achieve positive operating cash flow.

Uninsurable Risks

In the course of exploration and development of mineral properties, several risks and, in particular, unexpected or unusual geological or operating conditions, may occur. It is often not possible to insure against such risks and, even where coverage for particular risks is available, the Company may decide not to take out insurance against such risks because of high premiums or for other reasons. A company with which Evergold contracts does not currently carry insurance on its camp structures and equipment, In the unlikely event that such structures or equipment may become damaged, Evergold may become liable for repairs in order to continue its exploration activity. Should liabilities arise in consequence of such uninsured risks, they could potentially reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in an increase in costs and a decline in the value of the Company’s securities.

The Company is not insured against most environmental risks. Insurance against environmental risks (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards resulting from exploration and production) has not been generally available to companies within the industry. Should the Company become subject to environmental liabilities, the payment of such liabilities could reduce or eliminate its available funds or result in bankruptcy.

Litigation Risks

Litigation risks to the Company may include, but are not limited to, contesting exploration, development or regulatory approvals, traditional title claims, land tenure disputes, environmental claims, and occupational health and safety claims.

Contractual Risks

The Company will become a party to various contracts and it is always possible that contracts to which it is a party will not be adequately or fully performed by other contracting parties.

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Risks

At the time of writing the Company’s plans and operations have been somewhat affected by the COVID-19 virus pandemic which arose during the first quarter, although not, to date, in a materially negative way. Mineral exploration and development is designated an “essential service” under British Columbia’s COVID19 State of Emergency orders, and the pandemic curve has flattened in the province. The Company’s key suppliers are all located relatively close to site in northern and central interior B.C. and, in cooperation with these suppliers, the Company has put in place virus mitigation protocols. Nonetheless, should the economic and market disruption resulting from COVID-19 continue for an extended period, or significant new outbreaks of the virus occur, the Company may find its ability to raise additional capital and/or execute its exploration programs restricted, in part or in whole . It is also conceivable that COVID-19 may negatively impact the financial health of key vendors to the Company in ways that the Company may not be privy too, possibly causing vendor failure during execution of the Company’s exploration programs.
