MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Year Ended August 31, 2020
Report Date – December 17, 2020
CELLSTOP SYSTEMS INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended August 31, 2020
Introduction
CellStop Systems Inc. (“CellStop” or the “Company”) is a publicly traded company incorporated on April 29, 1982, under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, and its common shares are listed and posted for trading on the NEX Board (“NEX”) of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) under the trading symbol "KNO.H". The Company was transferred to the NEX board of the TSX-V effective July 2, 2010 due to the Company’s lack of operations. The NEX allows the Company’s shares to continue trading while it analyzes project opportunities to resume active business. The Company is subject to restrictions on share issuances and certain types of payments as set out in NEX policies.
On July 29, 2020, the Company entered into a mineral property option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the right, title and interest in and to the Clark’s Brook Property in central Newfoundland (see Off Balance Sheet Arrangements). In conjunction with the execution of the option agreement, the Company intends to voluntarily delist its common shares from trading on the NEX board of the TSX-V and concurrently apply to list its common shares for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”). The application to voluntarily delist from the TSX-V and list on the CSE will require majority shareholder approval, which is pending.
In order to satisfy the CSE listing requirements and finance the Company’s obligations under the Option Agreement, the Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of a minimum of 7,166,667 units (each, a "Unit") and a maximum of 10,000,000 Units at a price of $0.06 per Unit. Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.10 per share at any time within 18 months of the date of issuance of the warrant.
The Company also plans to complete a debt settlement to enable the Company to satisfy the working capital listing requirements of the CSE. The Debt Settlement will result in an aggregate of $479,400 of indebtedness being retired in consideration for the issuance of 7,989,997 Units at a price of $0.06 per Unit (same terms as the Units issued under the private placement). The proposed debt settlement and private placement remain pending and subject to the approval of the CSE in conjunction with the Company's intended application to list the common shares for trading on the CSE.
Assuming that the Company satisfies all conditions precedent to the completion of the transactions discussed in this press release, the Company plans to change its name to General Gold Resources Inc. immediately prior to the listing of its common shares on the CSE.
The Company’s registered and head offices are located at 1558 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6G 3J4.
In accordance with Form 51-102F1, the following Management’s Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") provides a review of activities, results of operations and financial condition of CellStop for the year ended August 31, 2020. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 which were prepared in accordance with IFRS. All monetary amounts, unless otherwise indicated, are expressed in Canadian dollars.

CELLSTOP SYSTEMS INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended August 31, 2020
During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company received an unsecured loan of $80,000 from a creditor to be used to pay expenses which were incurred pursuant to a proposed corporate transaction between the creditor and the Company. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum and matures on or before December 31, 2019, unless the creditor determines not to proceed with the proposed corporate transaction with the Company, in which case the loan and any accrued interest will be forgiven by the creditor.
During the year ended August 31, 2020, the $80,000 unsecured loan and $3,792 in accrued interest was written off as the creditor determined not to proceed with the proposed corporate transaction as noted above. In addition, a total of $85,667 in trade payables was written off relating to professional fees incurred in connection with the proposed transaction that has since been terminated.
Mineral Properties
On July 29, 2020 the Company entered into an arm’s length option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Metals Creek Resources Corp. (“MCR”) to acquire 100% of the right, title and interest in and to the Clark’s Brook Property in central Newfoundland.
The Company commissioned a technical report on the Clark's Brook Property, entitled "Technical Report on the Clark's Brook Property Central Newfoundland and Labrador" (the "Technical Report"). The Technical Report was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") by Desmond Cullen, P.Geol. and Michael Regular, P.Geol. of Clark Exploration Consulting. Each of Desmond Cullen, P.Geol. and Michael Regular, P.Geol. is a "Qualified Person" as defined in NI 43-101 and is independent of the Company and MCR. The Technical Report is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The Clark's Brook Property consists of 31 claim units in one license (026731M) for a total of 7.7 sq. km (770 hectares). The license is held by MCR and is in good standing to August 1, 2028. The claims were staked in 2016 to cover two auriferous showings discovered in 2003. The Clark's Brook Property is located in central Newfoundland near Northwest Gander River, approximately 25 kilometers west of the town of Glenwood. It is situated on NTS map sheet 02D/14. The Clark's Brook Property is centered on UTM coordinates 614,950mE/5,407,000mN (NAD27 Zone 21) on NTS 02D/14.
The Clark's Brook Property itself was subject to limited prospecting carried out by Altius Resources Inc. ("Altius") from 2003 through 2009. Additional prospecting was carried out by MCR in 2016 after the acquisition of the claims.
As part of a large 1:10,000 geological mapping and prospecting program conducted by Altius, both the Clark's Brook East ("CBE") and West ("CBW") gold discoveries were made. On the CBE gold zone, seven representative grab samples were attained, each comprised of material from several mineralized boulders that assayed between 2.98g/t and 24.5g/t gold with an average of 7.93g/t gold. A sample of underlying bedrock on the northern edge of the boulder distribution pattern returned 1.25g/t gold. An additional outcrop exposure some 25m upstream cut by a narrow quartz vein and associated iron-carbonate alteration was sampled in two representative grab samples and returned 0.15g/t and 0.62g/t Au.
Page | 5
CELLSTOP SYSTEMS INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended August 31, 2020
The CBW gold zone discovery was first made in mineralized boulders returning 8.9g/t and 9.28g/t gold. The site was revisited and found one of the auriferous boulders to fit on an adjacent outcrop. An additional eight samples of brecciated and altered siltstone were collected from boulder and outcrop, returning anomalous gold values to 0.335g/t Au.
In September 2017, MCR optioned the Clark's Brook Property to Sokoman Iron Corp. (now Sokoman Minerals Corp. ("Sokoman")) who immediately completed a Phase 1 drill program (515 meters) in an effort to locate in situ mineralization similar in tenor to the surface sampling at the CBE Zone. The program was a success in that all holes intersected gold mineralization similar in style and tenor to the surface float. In February 2018, Sokoman completed a second, three-hole (594 meter) phase of diamond drilling. This program was also successful in that it expanded the extent of gold mineralization identified by the initial phase of drilling. A third and final, three-hole (1,209 meter) drill program was conducted in August 2019 where the drilling was conducted at a different orientation to drill the center of a magnetic low in an attempt to cut deeper mineralization. All three programs were successful in cutting intervals of vuggy, chalcedonic, quartz veining with 1-3% disseminated pyrite, minor arsenopyrite and very minor stibnite. Intercepts of 3.74g/t Au over 3.20m have been attained.
The Technical Report recommends that the Company conduct a $100,400 Phase 1 exploration program of mapping, prospecting coupled with rock and soil sampling on the Property. The program will focus on evaluating the entire Clark's Brook Property to define new areas of the gold mineralization. The mapping program will focus on interpreting the relationships of the pyrite/arsenopyrite mineralization to structure or alteration. Soil sampling orientation surveys using various soil sampling techniques and analysis will be completed in the areas of known gold mineralization and new showings.
In order to earn it’s option, the Company must issue an aggregate of 1,500,000 common shares of the Company and make cash payments totaling $225,000 over the course of a three year period as outlined below:
| #of Shares | **$ Cash ** | Date |
|---|---|---|
| - | $50,000 | On signing of Option Agreement (paid) |
| 200,000 | - | On CSE Listing (Initial Issuance Date) |
| 300,000 | $30,000 | 12 months from Initial Issuance Date |
| 500,000 | $45,000 | 24 months from Initial Issuance Date |
| 500,000 | $100,000 | 36monthsfrom Initial IssuanceDate |
| 1,500,000 | $225,000 |
In accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company will reserve to MCR a 2% net smelter royalty (the "NSR") on the mineral claims, provided, however, that the Company shall have the right at any time to purchase from MCR 1% of the NSR in consideration for a one-time payment of the sum of $1,000,000.
The Option Agreement remains subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to the approval of listing on the CSE, and the completion of a proposed non-brokered private placement and debt settlement.

Accounting Standards Adopted and Issued
Adoption of New or Amended Accounting Standards
IFRS 16, Leases - IFRS 16 is a new standard that sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases including guidance for both parties to a contract, the lessee and the lessor. The new standard eliminates the classification of leases as either operating or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and instead introduces a single lessee accounting model.
The Company has determined there is no identifiable asset pertaining to its cost sharing arrangement agreement and therefore adoption of IFRS 16 will have no impact on the consolidated financial statements other than increased disclosure.
A number of new standards and amendments to existing standards have been issued by the IASB that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, or later periods. The Company has not early adopted these new standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements. There new standards are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

CELLSTOP SYSTEMS INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended August 31, 2020
Proposed Transactions
On July 29, 2020, and in conjunction with the Option Agreement the Company entered into to acquire a 100% interest in the Clark’s Brook property, the Company announced its intention to voluntarily delist its common shares from the NEX board of the TSX-V and apply for listing on the CSE.
In order to satisfy the listing requirements of the CSE and to finance the Company's obligations under the Option Agreement and the Phase 1 exploration program, the Company will be required to complete a non-brokered private placement of a minimum of 7,166,667 units (each, a "Unit") and a maximum of 10,000,000 Units at a price of $0.06 per Unit. Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.10 per share at any time within 18 months of the date of issuance of the warrant.
The Company also plans to complete a debt settlement with three directors and officers and eight arm's length creditors to enable the Company to satisfy the working capital listing requirements of the CSE. The Debt Settlement will result in an aggregate of $479,400 of indebtedness being retired in consideration for the issuance of 7,989,997 Units at a price of $0.06 per Unit (same terms as the Units issued under the private placement). The debt settlement remains subject to the approval of the CSE in conjunction with the Company's intended application to list the common shares for trading on the CSE.
The completion of the acquisition of the Clark's Brook Property is subject to a number of conditions precedent including, without limitation, all director, shareholder, securities and regulatory approvals and acceptances (as required) and all third party consents (as required) having been obtained and the completion of due diligence on the Clark's Brook Property. In particular, if the Company is not able to complete the private placement and the debt settlement, obtain necessary shareholder approvals in accordance with the respective requirements of the TSX-V and the CSE and satisfy the listing requirements of the CSE, then it will not be able to satisfy its obligations under the Option Agreement and the Phase 1 exploration program and the Company will not be able to exercise the option under the Option Agreement. The Company's common shares would then remain listed on the NEX board of the TSXV.
Assuming that the Company satisfies all conditions precedent to the completion of the transactions discussed in this press release, the Company plans to change its name to General Gold Resources Inc. immediately prior to the listing of its common shares on the CSE.
Trading of the Company's common shares on the NEX board of the TSXV has been halted and will remain halted until the Company has obtained all necessary approvals to proceed with the voluntary listing from the NEX board of the TSXV and the concurrent application to list its common shares on the CSE. Further details regarding the transactions discussed in this press release will be available in the Company's listing statement being prepared in conjunction with its application to list the common shares on the CSE. If all necessary approvals are obtained, the listing statement will be posted under the Company's profile on SEDAR prior to the commencement of trading on the CSE. The Company will issue a news release as soon as further details are available regarding the transactions discussed in this press release and the resumption of trading.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Fair Values and Classification
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and notes payable. Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: FVTPL, FVTOCI., or amortized cost. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments are classified into the following categories:
| Financial Instrument | Category | August 31, | August 31, |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
| ($) | ($) | ||
| Cash | FVTPL | 828 | 1,144 |
| Accounts payable | Amortized cost | 300,551 | 355,405 |
| Notespayable | Amortized cost | 142,631 | 247,025 |
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of cash is measured on the statement of financial position using level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of accounts payable approximate their book values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The carrying amounts of the notes payable approximate fair value as the interest rates were negotiated between the Company and an arm’s length third party.
Financial instrument risk exposure
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its payment obligations. The Company manages this credit risk by ensuring that cash is placed with a major financial institution with strong investment grade ratings by a primary ratings agency.
Page | 10
CELLSTOP SYSTEMS INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended August 31, 2020
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company endeavors to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash. The Company’s cash is invested in business accounts which are available on demand. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk.
Contractual undiscounted cash flow requirements for financial liabilities as at August 31, 2020 are as follows:
| <1 year | 2-3 Years | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ($) | ($) | ($) | |
| Accounts payable and accrued | 407,819 | 407,819 | |
| liabilities | — | ||
| Notes payable | 3,300 | 139,331 | 142,631 |
| 411,119 | 139,331 | 550,450 |
Interest rate risk
The Company is nominally exposed to interest rate risk. The Company’s bank account earns interest income at variable rates. The Company does not have any variable interest rate liabilities.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk.
Management of Capital
The Company considers items included in shareholders’ deficiency as capital. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue project opportunities for the benefit of its shareholders. 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, issue debt or acquire or dispose of assets. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain debt or equity capital in the case of operating cash deficits.
As the Company is currently listed on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange, it is subject to certain restrictions on share issuances pursuant to NEX policies and is limited in the number of common shares it can issue in any 12-month period. The Company prepares annual expenditure budgets and updates these as required throughout the year which it uses as the primary tool for assessing its capital requirements.
There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended August 31, 2020.

Risks and Uncertainties
- a) Political and Regulatory Risk
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder. These may include responding to 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.
b) Limited Operational History
The Company does not have any significant operations. As a result, there is no assurance that the Company will earn profits in the future or that profitability, if achieved, will be sustained.
c) Additional Financing
The Company will require additional financing in order to make further developments or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to it. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of shares from treasury, control of the Company may change and shareholders may suffer dilution. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures and remain in business.
- d) Key Personnel and Future Staffing Requirements
The Company’s success will also be dependent on its ability to identify, recruit, motivate and retain highly qualified executive, management and technical support.
- e) Price Volatility of a Public Stock
The securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly those considered to be exploration of development stage companies, have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance or underlying net asset values of such companies.
Management’s Responsibility for Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company’s management is responsible for the presentation and preparation of these consolidated financial statements and the MD&A. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The MD&A has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities regulators, including National Instrument 51-102 of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Forward-Looking Statements
Except for statements of historical fact, this MD&A contains certain "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities law. Forward-looking information is frequently characterized by words such as "plan", "expect", "project", "intend", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate" and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will" occur. In particular, forward-looking information in this MD&A includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to future events and is subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. We cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievements. Consequently, there is no representation that the actual results achieved will be the same, in whole or in part, as those set out in the forwardlooking information.
Forward-looking information is based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made and is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information. Some of the risks and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: general economic conditions in Canada, the United States and globally; industry conditions, including fluctuations in commodity prices; governmental regulation of the mining industry, including environmental regulation; geological, technical and drilling problems; unanticipated operating events; competition for and/or inability to retain drilling rigs and other services; the availability of capital on acceptable terms; the need to obtain required approvals from regulatory authorities; stock market volatility; volatility in market prices for commodities; liabilities inherent in mining operations; changes in tax laws and incentive programs relating to the mining industry; and the other factors described herein under "Risks and Uncertainties" as well as in our public filings available at www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive.
The forward-looking information contained in this MD&A is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. We undertake no duty to update any of the forward-looking information to conform such information to actual results or to changes in our expectations except as otherwise required by applicable securities legislation. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forwardlooking information.
