Generation Gold Corp. (Formerly Jessy Ventures Corp.) Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Annual Financial Results For the years ended April 30, 2023, and 2022


INTRODUCTION

The following discussion of performance and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The Company’s reporting currency is Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is dated August 28, 2023.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on November 21, 2018. The Company was formed for the primary purpose of completing an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) as a Capital Pool Corporation (“CPC”) as defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. On October 8, 2019, the Company completed its IPO on the Exchange raising gross proceeds of $200,000 through the issuance of 2,000,000 common shares at $0.10 per common share. The Company’s common shares were approved for listing on the Exchange and commenced trading effective October 10, 2019 under the symbol “SARG.P”.

On December 28, 2022, the Exchange accepted the Company’s filing for its qualifying transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction”) which was based on an arm’s length mineral property option agreement with Origen Resources Inc. Upon the Exchange’s acceptance, the Company became a mineral resource gold and silver ore mining issuer and began trading under the symbol “GEN”. In addition, the Company changed its name from Jessy Ventures Corp. to Generation Gold Corp.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of Covid-19 a global pandemic. The expected impacts on global commerce are far reaching. To date there have been significant stock market fluctuations, and the movement of people and goods has become restricted. As the Company does not have revenues, the ability to fund ongoing operations is affected by the availability of financing. Due to market uncertainty the Company may be restricted in its ability to raise additional funding. The impact of these factors on the Company is not yet determinable. However, they may have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows in future periods. In particular, there may be heightened risk of asset impairment and liquidity or going concern uncertainty.

Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders

On October 4, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved, at a Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders, certain amendments to the Exchange Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies (“New CPC Policy”) that became effective January 1, 2021, including, but not limited to:

  • authorizing the Company to approve certain amendments to its stock option plan pursuant to which the total number of common shares of the Company reserved for issuance both before and after completion of a Qualifying Transaction is 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company as at the date of grant, rather than at the closing date of the initial public offering;

  • removing the consequences associated with the Company not completing a Qualifying Transaction within 24 months of its listing date in accordance with the New CPC Policy;

  • authorizing the Company to make certain amendments to the Company’s escrow agreement to effect certain changes contemplated under the New CPC Policy, including reducing the maximum escrow term to 18 months from 36 months following a Qualifying Transaction; and

  • authorizing and permitting the Company to pay any finders’ fee or commission to a Non-Arm’s Length Party (as that term is defined in the New CPC Policy) to the Company upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, in accordance with the terms of the New CPC Policy.

Additional information on the Company, including the Transaction and all provisions approved at the October 4, 2021, Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders is available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.

OFF BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as at April 30, 2023 or as of the date of this report.

CRITICAL JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting year. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The Company’s financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future years. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

  • i) The carrying value and impairment charge, if any, of the exploration and evaluation assets.

Critical Accounting Judgments

Critical accounting judgments are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments. The Company’s management made the following critical accounting judgments:

  • i) The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ii) The title and rights to exploration and evaluation assets. iii) The measurement and recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Capital Management

The Company's objective when managing capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Company includes share capital in the definition of capital.

The Company's primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to fund the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or by securing strategic partners. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Generation Gold Corp. (Formerly Jessy Ventures Corp.) Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Annual Financial Results For the years ended April 30, 2023, and 2022


Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments, consisting of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term maturities of the instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligation resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk is primarily related to the Company’s cash. To minimize this risk, cash has been placed with a major Canadian financial institution.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations when they become due. The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term operating requirements, after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash. As at April 30, 2023, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $61,254 (April 30, 2022 - $19,363) due within 12 months and had cash of $254,960 (April 30, 2022 - $261,550) to meet its current obligations. As a result, the Company has minimal liquidity risk at this time.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or value of its holdings or financial instruments. The Company’s activities have only been transacted in Canadian dollars since incorporation; in addition, the Company carries no interest-bearing debt. As such, the Company has minimal market risks facing it at present.

RISKS & UNCERTAINTIES

The Company currently has no source of recurring income, has not commenced commercial operations, has no significant assets other that cash, has no history of earnings and does not intend to pay dividends. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing in the future on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The Company’s success depends to a certain degree upon key members for the management. It is expected that these individuals will be a significant factor in our growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management team or certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
