EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

See Business of the Company and Liquidity and Capital Resources .

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company, and the securities of the Company, should be considered a highly speculative investment. The following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of the Company's securities.

There are a number of outstanding securities and agreements pursuant to which common shares of the Company may be issued in the future. This will result in further dilution to the Company's shareholders.

The Company has a limited history of operations, is in the early stage of development and has received no revenues other than insignificant interest revenues following its transition to a mineral exploration and development company. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or, if available, that the terms of such financing will be favourable. The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends in the near future.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to mineral properties in which it has acquired an interest, no assurance whatsoever can be given that the Company’s interests may not be challenged by third parties. If challenged, and if the challenge is sustained, it will have an adverse effect on the business of the Company. Title to mineral properties may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and may also be affected by undetected defects or the rights of indigenous peoples.

KANADARIO GOLD INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2020

Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the properties may be diminished or negated.

The exploration of mineral properties involves significant risks, which even experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to avoid. The price of metals has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, as it is affected by numerous factors that are beyond the Company’s control, including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation or deflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction methods. The effect of these factors on the price of metals, and therefore the economic viability of the Company’s interests in the mineral properties, cannot be accurately predicted. Furthermore, changing conditions in the financial markets, and Canadian income tax legislation may have a direct impact on the Company’s ability to raise funds for exploration expenditures. A drop in the availability of equity financings will likely impede spending. As a result of all these significant risks, it is quite possible that the Company may lose its investments in the Company’s mineral property interests.

CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to identify, pursue and complete the exploration and development of mineral properties, to maintain financial strength, to protect its ability to meet its ongoing liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain credit-worthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Capital of the Company comprises shareholders’ equity.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in financial instruments at high credit quality financial institutions with terms to maturity selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended October 31, 2020. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS

As at October 31, 2020, the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Fair value

The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with an established hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs in valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

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. Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The following tables sets forth the Company’s financial asset measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy:

KANADARIO GOLD INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2020

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company manages credit risk in respect of cash by placing at major Canadian financial institutions. The Company has minimal credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at October 31, 2020 is on cash of $1,156,187 (2019 - $778,986). Receivables of $18,536 (2019 - $3,815) are owing from the Canada Revenue Agency.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on capital.

  • i) Currency risk – The Company has no funds held in a foreign currency, and as a result, is not exposed to significant currency risk on its financial instruments at year-end.

  • ii) Interest rate risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Interest earned on cash is at nominal interest rates, and therefore, the Company does not consider interest rate risk to be significant. The Company has no interest-bearing financial liabilities.

  • iii) Other price risk – Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk.

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 approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquid funds to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The contractual financial liabilities of the Company as of October 31, 2020 equal $85,664 (2019 - $70,467). All of the liabilities presented as accounts payable are due within 30 days of the reporting date.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets

The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures and impairment of the capitalized expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in profit or loss in the year the new information becomes available.

Title to mineral property interests

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Income taxes

Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities and contingencies for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of the tax liability, including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately

provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities.

In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which a deductible temporary difference can be utilized. This is deemed to be the case when there are sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity that are expected to reverse in the same year as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference, or in years into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. However, utilization of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the taxable entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped.

Going concern risk assessment

The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon its ability to fund its existing acquisition and exploration commitments on its exploration and evaluation projects when they come due, which would cease to exist if the Company decides to terminate its commitments, and to cover its operating costs. The Company has no sources of revenue and negative cash flows from operations. In November 2020, the Company closed a brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $36,930,000. Based on its current plans, budgeted expenditures, and cash requirements, the Company has sufficient cash to finance its current plans for at least 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued.

The Company expects that it will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. There is no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that these financings will be on terms at least as favourable to the Company as those previously obtained, or at all. Should such financing not be available in that time-frame, the Company will be required to reduce its activities and will not be able to carry out all of its presently planned exploration and development activities on its currently anticipated scheduling.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD ADOPTED DURING THE PERIOD

IFRS 16 Leases

Initial adoption

On November 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16, which specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is twelve months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, International Accounting Standard 17 Leases .

The Company has elected to apply IFRS 16 using a modified retrospective approach, which does not require restatement of prior period financial information. Modified retrospective application recognizes the cumulative effect of IFRS 16 as an adjustment to opening deficit at November 1, 2019 and applies the standard prospectively. The Company has determined that at November 1, 2019, adoption of IFRS 16 will not result in the recognition of a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset nor a lease obligation.

Ongoing recognition and measurement

On the date that the leased asset becomes available for use, the Company recognizes a ROU asset and a corresponding lease obligation. Interest expense associated with the lease obligation is charged to the statement of income/loss over the lease period with a corresponding increase to the lease obligation. The lease obligation is reduced as payments are made against the principal portion of the lease. The ROU asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. Depreciation of the ROU asset is recognized in depreciation expense.
