EXPLORATION PROJECTS (information up to the date of this MD&A)

- Bishop Project, Northwest Territories (wholly owned)

The 100% owned Bishop property is 30,707 hectares of which 29,680 hectares (37 claims) were acquired by staking in winter 2018 as an expansion to the mining lease held by the Company which contains the diamondiferous Bishop kimberlite discovered in 2006. The property is centered 55 km SSW of the Ekati Diamond Mine and 40 km SW of the Diavik Diamond Mine. It is on trend with the economic diamond deposits of the Ekati Diamond Mine.

This region of Lac de Gras was extensively explored by the Company over a decade ago and included multiple seasons of exploration campaigns. Detailed airborne geophysics and heavy mineral sampling dominated the work. High resolution ground geophysical surveys, followed up on airborne targets prioritized by indicator mineral results. This work resulted in the discovery of the Bishop kimberlite which returned 11 diamonds from the initial 78.2 kilogram sample. Further review of the Bishop data suggests that additional drilling is required to thoroughly evaluate the geology, geometry and diamond distribution throughout the kimberlite as additional phases may be present.

A large gravity anomaly proximal to Bishop was subsequently tested with several short reverse circulation drill holes. This drilling intercepted a small amount of kimberlite. Further ground geophysics followed by core drilling is required to determine the size and potential grade of this kimberlite discovery.

The remainder of the property contains numerous high priority targets identified in previous exploration campaigns conducted by the Company. The world economic crisis of 2008 essentially eliminated access to capital for exploration companies and as a result the Company was not able to move these targets forward to drill evaluation. The Company plans to continue its target evaluation process which has been on hold since then.

In addition to the reacquisition of historic Company targets in the Bishop staking campaign, the Company was also successful in acquiring the Courageous kimberlite located in the south of the new land tenure. The Courageous kimberlite, initially identified in 2005, was further advanced with core drilling in 2008 by Consolidated Global Diamond Corp. (“CK”). The Company’s review of public domain data and news releases identified this historic discovery as open ground. The Courageous kimberlite geophysical anomaly is described by CK as being a coincident magnetic and resistivity anomaly. CK announced drilling into sediments containing various amounts of tuffaceous kimberlite rocks. The crater sediments are further described as occupying a sub circular area of approximately 1,100 meters. Drilling difficulties prevented CK from penetrating beyond the crater sediments and fully evaluating the potential diatreme below. A 78.4 kg sample of the sediments returned eight micro-diamonds indicating the kimberlite source rocks are diamond bearing.

In May 2018, the Company conducted a ground geophysical program on the Bishop property prior to spring breakup. A total of 243 line kilometers of ground magnetics, 130.5 line kilometers of ground electromagnetics and 468 stations of ground gravity were collected.

The ground geophysical program was successful in identifying a number of compelling geophysical targets near the Bishop kimberlite as well as defining a robust gravity anomaly at the Courageous kimberlite.

Target BP-01 lies approximately 1.2 kilometers northwest of the Bishop kimberlite and is described as a 1,200 nanotesla, reversely polarized magnetic low located on land. Reversely polarized, intensely magnetic signatures are associated with many of the kimberlites in the Diavik and Ekati kimberlite fields at Lac de Gras and are representative of intrusive bodies that were emplaced during a period when the Earth’s magnetic poles were reversed.

Target BP-02 is located 1.0 kilometer west-southwest of the Bishop kimberlite, in an embayment along a long linear lake. This target is a strong EM anomaly that persists to depth of investigation and measures approximately 150 meters by 100 meters. Three of the most productive kimberlites at the Diavik diamond mine exhibit strong EM signatures.

Target BP-03 is centered 650 meters west-northwest of the Bishop kimberlite, adjacent to a small lake. It is defined by an EM anomaly with an associated quiet magnetic signature within a lithologic package of noisy magnetics. This kimberlite target is interpreted to represent an intruding body locally displacing the host lithology.

Two earlier drill campaigns focusing at the Bishop kimberlite have shown it to be a complex body with multiple intercepts across a 250 meter by 160 meter area. The 2018 geophysical program has identified new high priority targets with potential of adding additional kimberlite discoveries as stand-alone bodies or additional phases to the Bishop kimberlite complex.

The gravity survey at the Courageous kimberlite returned an anomaly that measures 800 meters by 600 meters and is characterized by a 0.5 milligal (“mGal”) gravity low. No discernible magnetic features are present.

Some data compilation and the filing of assessment work were the only expenditures incurred on the property by the Company during the year ended November 30, 2019.

- Zeus Project, Northwest Territories (wholly owned)

The 100% owned Zeus property was acquired by staking in winter 2018 and consists of 22 mineral claims totaling 14,809 hectares. It covers a portion of Lac de Gras and the north shore and is located only 11 kilometers south of the Ekati Diamond Mine’s Fox kimberlite which is the southerly most kimberlite body in a linear trend of economic deposits at Ekati. The Zeus property is strategically located directly along this trend.

This trend of significantly diamondiferous kimberlite bodies is further validated by New Nadina Exploration Limited’s Monument property which is adjacent to the southwestern boundary of the Zeus property. Monument contains several kimberlite bodies where initial sampling has collectively returned encouraging diamond counts. The potential for new discoveries in this brownfields area is further emphasized by North Arrow Minerals Inc.’s recent announcement of a new kimberlite discovery on their Loki project adjacent to the southeastern boundary of Zeus and on trend with this string of significantly diamondiferous kimberlite bodies including those in the Ekati mine plan.

The Company intends to employ modern kimberlite exploration techniques along with hands-on discovery knowledge of the Lac de Gras kimberlite field to add additional discovery to this apparent “gap” in the trend. The Zeus property has been open ground and unexplored for over 5 years.

No exploration work was conducted on the property by the Company during the year ended November 30, 2019.

5

During the year ended November 30, 2019, a write-off of $47,046 was recorded against the Zeus project as the Company has no current or future budgeted exploration programs in place for this project.

- Rhombus Project, Northwest Territories (wholly owned)

The 100% owned Rhombus property was acquired by staking in winter 2018 and lies 40 kilometers northwest of the Ekati Diamond Mine and consists of 25 mineral claims covering 21,336 hectares. This strategic location exploits an apparent periodicity in the Ekati and Diavik economic trends further supported by the nearly one carat per tonne large DO-27 kimberlite resource controlled by Peregrine Diamonds Ltd.

Rhombus contains 4 kimberlites discovered in the early 1990s, all of which are diamond bearing. A review of data in the public domain suggests there is the potential for additional unidentified kimberlite bodies. The original discoveries were a quarter of a century ago and no work has been conducted on the property area in over a decade.

Kimberlite exploration tools, techniques and understanding have evolved immensely in the past decade and the Company plans to apply these advancements to move the property towards additional discovery. This approach has been successfully demonstrated by Kennady Diamonds Inc. (“KDI”) at the Kelvin-Faraday kimberlite complex initially discovered in 1999-2000. It received no further evaluation for a dozen years due to the initial interpretation and resulting lack of encouragement. In 2012, a new approach including modernized exploration techniques and understanding has developed this kimberlite complex to the resource stage with a recent all share purchase by Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. (“MPVD”) valued at $162 million (April 2018).

In May 2018, the Company conducted a ground geophysical program on the Rhombus property prior to spring break-up. A total of 166.5 line kilometers of ground magnetics, 61.5 line kilometers of ground electromagnetics and 369 stations of ground gravity were collected.

The ground geophysical surveys were focused in and around the diamondiferous Torrie, Sue and Sputnik kimberlites discovered in the 1990s. Historically, gravity was not a widely used kimberlite exploration tool and GGL believes the 2018 gravity program may be the first in this area. The Rhombus survey identified a 0.35 mGal gravity low target measuring over 150 meters in diameter located 600 meters north of the Torrie kimberlite in a moderate size lake. The anomaly is open to the north requiring additional surveying to close it off.

Costs related to the filing of assessment work from 2018 were the only expenditures incurred by the Company during the year ended November 30, 2019.

Stein Project, Nunavut (under option)

During the year ended November 30, 2018, the Company entered into an option agreement with Arctic Star Exploration Corp. (“Arctic Star”) to earn a 60% interest in Arctic Star’s wholly-owned Stein Diamond Project in Nunavut, Canada. The Stein Diamond Project (“Stein”) consists of 19 mineral claims covering an area of 23,750 hectares on the Southern Boothia Peninsula, 45 kilometers from tide water. The property is located 85 kilometers northwest of the community of Taloyoak, Nunavut which is serviced daily by commercial flights and seasonally by barge.

The Company can acquire a 60% undivided interest in Stein by conducting detailed ground geophysics on high priority airborne targets (completed), discovering kimberlite by drilling, trenching or in outcrop, and by converting prospecting permits to mineral claims (completed). Should kimberlite be discovered, a joint venture would be formed with an initial 60/40 contributing relationship. The project has a Class A land use permit which includes drilling.

Stein is an advanced diamond exploration project having the benefit of numerous successive exploration campaigns and over $1,500,000 million in previous exploration expenditures. This historic work included multiple seasons of heavy mineral sampling in which kimberlitic indicator minerals were followed in the up-ice direction to a region

6

believed to be the source area. This area was subsequently flown with detailed airborne magnetic surveys. No kimberlite drill testing has been conducted on the project to date.

The indicator mineral suite contains grains that are indicative of diamond inclusion chemistry showing high chrome, low calcium G10D pyrope garnets. The detailed airborne magnetic surveys have identified numerous high priority targets that have signatures similar in characteristics to kimberlites found elsewhere in Canada’s north. The Stein project is further complimented with the existence of a major structural feature identified on regional government airborne magnetic surveys which is greater than 100 kilometers in length and traverses the area of the project containing the high priority targets. In fields elsewhere, kimberlites can be geologically observed exploiting larger structural features utilizing them as conduits for emplacement.

The nearest known kimberlite discovery is over 230 kilometers to the southeast and perpendicular to the regional ice flow direction. The distance and direction greatly reduce the potential for the Stein mineral grains being an overprint from this field.

In July 2019, the Company completed ground geophysical magnetic surveys over high priority airborne targets. The Company’s detailed ground magnetic survey program has delineated a number of very compelling targets that are consistent with magnetic signatures over known kimberlites which have intruded through Cambrian-Devonian age Arctic Platform carbonate rocks at parallel latitudes elsewhere in Canada’s north. Similar geology is found on the Stein project.

A broad range of kimberlite like signatures were defined during the surveys which further bolsters the possibility of Stein delivering a new kimberlite field. Many known kimberlite fields exhibit a variety of magnetic responses which represent kimberlites intruding under varied circumstances and conditions. These signatures range from isolated magnetic highs to strong dipolar features to elongate dyke-like responses. The Stein project has delivered all three of these emplacement style signatures including a large isolated magnetic high approximately 200 meters in diameter, multiple strong, discrete dipolar signatures as well as an elongate dyke-like signature over 800 meters in length.

The Company considers many of these targets drill ready with the potential for the Stein project to deliver a new diamondiferous kimberlite district.

The Company incurred $98,880 in exploration work conducted on the project by the Company during the year ended November 30, 2019.

- PGB Base Metal and Gold Project, Northwest Territories (wholly owned)

The 100% owned PGB Project (Providence Greenstone Belt) is centered in the Slave Craton, 280 km northeast of Yellowknife and is comprised of 2 mineral leases totaling 2,092 hectares.

The Archean greenstone belt underlying the property is a source for gold mineralization in silicified shears and in banded iron formation and polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (“ VMS ”) occurrences. The PGB is analogous to the mineral rich greenstone belts within the Abitibi greenstone belt that spans across the OntarioQuébec border, one of the world’s largest Archean greenstone belts that still hosts several producing mines and untapped mineral wealth.

Compared to other geological settings, the risk/reward ratio for exploration projects on greenstone belts is highly favorable. The Company has flown the entire PGB with either a frequency domain EM system or a time domain VTEM system. Numerous compelling gold and VMS targets exist in the data and warrant follow up.

The only expenditures incurred on the property were lease payments made by the Company during the year ended November 30, 2019.

7

During the year ended November 30, 2019, a write-off of $383,034 was recorded against the PGB Base Metal and Gold Project as the Company has no current or future budgeted exploration programs in place for this project.

- ZIP Diamond Property, Northwest Territories (wholly owned)

The 100% owned ZIP diamond property encompasses 13 leases and 4 mineral claims totaling 11,215 hectares and is included in the CH Project. Previous exploration campaigns by the Company have returned esker and till samples results of up to 250 and 100 kimberlitic indicator mineral grains per sample, respectively. The presence of preserved kelyphitic rims on some garnets is suggestive of a low transport distance indicating a proximal source. This in conjunction with diamond inclusion chemistry bolsters the potential for the ZIP property to host a new diamondiferous kimberlite field.

The compelling kimberlitic indicator mineral results are complimented by a low-level helicopter Resolve™ airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey over the ZIP property. This airborne geophysical data, collected in an earlier program, is very high resolution at 50-meter flight line spacing and an average sensor height of 20 meters.

During the summer of 2019, the Company conducted field work on its ZIP diamond property. The field work was a collaborative effort between GGL and the Northwest Territories Geological Survey (“NTGS”). The program was fully funded by the NTGS’s Slave Geological Province Exploration Development Initiative (“SGPEDI”) which is chiefly funded by the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency’s Strategic Investments in Northern Economic Development (“SINED”) program with GGL providing support and a base of operations at its all season ZIP camp which has an active Class ‘A’ land use permit. The NTGS sponsored work at ZIP included the collection of 115 esker and till samples which are being processed for kimberlitic indicator minerals, base metals indicator minerals, gold grains, ICP, grain size distribution and clast characterization.

- McConnell Creek Project, British Columbia (wholly owned)

The 100% owned McConnell Creek Project is located 400 km northwest of Prince George and 15 km southeast of the Kemess open pit copper-gold mine in British Columbia. The property is comprised of 7,549 hectares of mineral claims encompassing a 12 km long Gold Target hosted within a shear zone. In addition, a structurally controlled alkaline porphyry Copper Target with copper-gold-silver has been identified.

In Q3 of 2018, the Company conducted a 1-week field review of the property with a focus on select soil sampling, rock sampling and a review of historic core stored on site. A total of 72 soils and 44 rock samples were taken. All soils and rock samples were analyzed by Ultratrace 1-Aqua Regia-ICP/MS*.

Isolated auger sampling in the Gold Target over known anomalous areas verified the presence of gold (as high as 8.93 g/mt in Au +100 mesh by FA-MeT). Rock sampling verified gold as high as 6.87 g/tonne (FA-GRAV) in oxidized fractures cross-cutting quartz-iron carbonate veins with pyrite +/- tetrahedrite. Select character sampling of the historic drill core returned gold values as high as 59.2 g/tonne (FA-GRAV**) from oxidized fractures.

The Copper Target review focussed on soil sampling along historical Induced Polarization lines along paleo-terraces with mixed gravel and fines as well as rock sampling of known showings over a distance of 600 metres. This investigation defined a potassic-altered monzonite intrusion hosting supergene and hypogene copper-gold-silver mineralization along multi-oriented fractures, centreline to earlier veins as well as in later stage, quartz-sericitelimonite hydrothermal breccias. These narrow high-grade breccias can be traced for a distance of 600 metres and then are lost under cover. All rock samples taken in the copper target were anomalous in copper (from 0.25% to as high as 20.1% Cu) by 4Acid-ICP-OES *, gold (from 1210 ppb to 4010 ppb Au) by FA-AA* and silver (from 5.02 to 67.1 ppm Ag) by AR-MS.

Exploration work on the property qualifies for a BC Mining Exploration Tax Credit. As of November 30, 2019, the Company has recorded an accrued receivable of $14,281 related to the credit.

8

The Company performed exploration work on the property during the year ended November 30, 2019 in the amount of $33,562 which has been reduced by tax credits of $14,281.

Other Interests - Diamond Royalties

Doyle leases

The Company maintains two diamond royalties on the Doyle mineral leases sold to Kennady Diamonds Inc. (“KDI”) in 2013 and 2016. In April 2018, KDI was acquired by Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. (“MPVD”) and as such the leases are controlled by MPVD. De Beers Canada Inc. and MPVD are 51%/49% joint owners in the Gahcho Kue Diamond Mine, Northwest Territories, Canada.

During the year ended November 30, 2013, the Company sold 9 of its mineral leases and 2 reinstated leases, including Bob Camp, to KDI, for $150,000 cash and a retained 1.5% Net Returns Royalty (“NR”) on all the leases, except for one where the Company retains a 0.5% NR. KDI has the right, at any time prior to commencement of production from the property, to purchase one-third of the NR for the sum of $2,000,000.

During the year ended November 30, 2016, the Company sold its interest in the remaining six leases to KDI for $200,000. The Company retains a 0.75% NR on all mineral products produced from the property. KDI has the right at any time prior to commencement of production from the property to purchase one-third (1/3) of the NR, being 0.25%, for the sum of $1,000,000.

Proxima

In 2014 the Company entered into an agreement with Proxima Diamond Corp. ("Proxima " ) whereby the Company provided access to a portion of the Company's diamond database in return for a cash payment of $100,000 and 500,000 common shares of Proxima. Proxima was able to select land for acquisition, exploration and development and the Company is entitled to receive a 1.5% NR from diamond production, from certain properties, subject to Proxima having the right to purchase one third of the Royalty for $1,000,000 and a further third (0.5%) for $5,000,000. To date, Proxima has not advanced any properties to production stage.

COMMITMENTS

The Company has no commitments other than that which relates to the Stein project under option.

MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

The Company is a resource exploration company and considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company has no debt and does not expect to enter into debt financing. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. The

14

Company’s capital structure as at November 30, 2019, is comprised of shareholders’ equity of $2,332,884 (November 30, 2018 - $2,660,396).

The Company currently has no source of revenues. In order to fund future projects and pay for general and administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern on a long-term basis and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation is primarily dependent upon its ability to sell or option its mineral property interests and its ability to borrow or raise additional financing from equity markets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. Those areas requiring the use of management estimates and judgments include:

  • estimating the fair values of financial instruments including the fair value of shares and/or warrants received under option or sale agreements for the Company’s mineral properties;

  • the determination of the fair value of stock options or warrants using the Black-Scholes model;

  • expected useful lives of capital assets and the related depreciation expenses;

  • the determination of recoverability of amounts capitalized to mineral property interests; and

  • the determination of deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

Changes in Accounting Policies

There were no changes in accounting policies during the year ended November 30, 2019.

Standards issued but not yet effective:

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Many of these updates are not applicable or consequential to the Company and have been excluded from the discussion below.

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019:

  • New standard IFRS 16 - Leases

  • IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) was issued by the IASB on January 13, 2016, and will replace IAS 17, Leases. It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted. IFRS 16 eliminates the current dual accounting model for lessees, which distinguishes between on-balance sheet finance leases and off-balance sheet operating leases. Instead, IFRS 16 requires a single, on-balance sheet accounting model that is similar to current finance lease accounting. Leases become an on-balance sheet liability that attract interest, together with a new asset.

The Company does not have any leases and accordingly there will be no material reporting changes as a result of adopting the new standard.

  • New Interpretation IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

On June 7, 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments . The Interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for current and deferred tax liabilities and assets in circumstances in which there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect any material reporting changes on adoption of the Interpretation.

15

There will be no material reporting changes on adoption of the Interpretation.

Refer to Note 2 of the November 30, 2019 audited annual financial statements for the Company’s significant accounting policies.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has no proposed transactions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company does not have operating revenues and must finance its exploration activity by raising funds through joint ventures or equity financing. The exploration and subsequent development of the Company's properties depend on the Company's ability to obtain required financing. There is no assurance that additional funding will be available to allow the Company to fully explore its existing mineral property interests. The Company requires sufficient funds to complete further exploration work (see “Management of Capital”). Failure to obtain financing could result in delays or indefinite postponement of further exploration and the possible, partial or total loss of the Company’s interest in certain mineral property interests.

The Company is dependent on raising funds by the issuance of shares or disposing of interests in its mineral property interests (by options, joint ventures or outright sales) in order to finance further acquisitions, undertake exploration of mineral property interests and meet general and administrative expenses in the immediate and long term. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising its required financing.

The Company’s financial performance is dependent on many external factors. The Company expects that any revenues it may earn from its operations in the future will be from the sale of minerals. Both prices and markets for metals and minerals are cyclical, difficult to predict, volatile, subject to government price fixing and controls and respond to changes in domestic and international, political, social and economic environments. Additionally, the availability and cost of funds for exploration, development and production costs are difficult to predict. Finally, securities markets in the United States and Canada are subject to significant price and volume volatility, and the market price of the Company’s shares are subject to wide fluctuations which may not necessarily relate to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of its projects. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. These changes in events could materially affect the financial performance of the Company.

The Company had working capital at November 30, 2019 of $164,426 compared with working capital of $260,689 as at November 30, 2018. The Company’s current liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities which are generally due within 30 days and accounts payable to related parties. Any improvement in working capital results primarily from the issuance of share capital.

For the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company reported a loss of $725,157 (November 30, 2018 - $527,272), which after allowing for changes in non-cash operating working capital items from operating activities, resulted in total cash used in operating activities of $253,564 (November 30, 2018 - $297,622). Changes in operating activities for the year ended November 30, 2019 resulted primarily from a decrease in all categories of expenses except for office rent which remained the same. See Overall performance/results of operations.

The Company’s cash position as at November 30, 2019 was $207,016 (November 30, 2018 - $211,355).

16

SHARE CAPITAL

During the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company completed the following private placements:

  • (a) On May 28, 2019, the Company completed a private placement consisting of the issue of 4,137,500 nonflow-through units at a price of $0.08 each for gross proceeds of $331,000. Each non-flow-through unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant being exercisable into a common share at an exercise price of $0.15 until May 28, 2022.

  • (b) On May 28, 2019, the Company completed a flow-through private placement consisting of the issue of 550,000 flow-through units at a price of $0.10 each for gross proceeds of $55,000. Each unit consists of one flow-through common share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant being exercisable into a nonflow-through common share at an exercise price of $0.15 until May 28, 2022.

As at November 30, 2019, the Company had met its obligation to spend the flow-through funds on qualified exploration programs. The Company renounced the expenditures and available income tax benefits to the flowthrough shareholders effective October 31, 2019.

Share issue costs of $17,537 were incurred in respect of the private placements which included legal and filing fees. The share issue costs were recorded as a reduction to share capital.

Strategic Metals Ltd. subscribed for 1,562,500 non-flow-through units ($125,000) and after the private placement holds a 43.17% interest in the Company. Mr. W. Douglas Eaton, the Company’s CEO and director, through a private company controlled by Mr. Eaton, subscribed for 1,875,000 non-flow-through units ($150,000) and after the private placement holds a 13.09% interest in the Company. Additionally, other officers and/or Directors and related parties subscribed to an additional 387,500 non-flow-through units ($31,000) and 450,000 flow-through units ($45,000).

Commitment to issue shares

On June 1, 2019, the Company entered into an Amending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dave Kelsch Consulting Ltd., a company controlled by the President and COO of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, Dave Kelsch Consulting Ltd. (“Dave Kelsch Consulting”) will receive a consulting fee of $850 per day, of which at least 30% would be paid in cash and the remainder paid in common shares of the Company.

The consulting fee is paid/accrued on a monthly basis, and the number of common shares issuable by the Company is calculated at the end of each month during which the consulting services were provided, based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares during such month, minus 50% of the maximum discount permitted by the policies of the Exchange. The common shares are issuable semi-annually, and interest is charged at a rate of 2% per month compounded monthly on unpaid amounts, and is payable in cash. As at November 30, 2019, a total of 502,273 common shares were issuable to Dave Kelsch Consulting in settlement of $38,063 in consulting fees, which were issued subsequent to year end, on January 3, 2020.

During the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company accrued $40,182 (2018 - $nil), as a commitment to issue shares, including the recognition of a fair value adjustment on the commitment to issue shares of $2,119, representing the difference between the year-end valuation of the shares issuable by the Company, and the initial recognition of the consulting services rendered of $38,063, of which $20,895 is recorded within mineral property interests.

As at November 30, 2019, accrued interest expense included within accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $1,636. All share issuances are subject to regulatory approval, including Exchange acceptance, and will be subject to such hold periods as are required by the Exchange and applicable regulatory authorities.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Trends

The Company’s financial success is dependent upon the discovery of mineralization which could be economically viable to develop. Such development could take years to complete and the resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine. The sales value of any mineralization discovered by the Company is largely dependent upon factors beyond the Company’s control, such as the market value of the products produced.

Other than as disclosed herein, the Company is not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events which are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

Competitive Conditions

The resource industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases. The Company competes with other mining companies for the acquisition of mineral claims and other mining interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and contractors. There is significant and increasing competition for a limited number of gold and other resource acquisition opportunities and as a result, the Company may be unable to acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for exploration in the future on terms it considers acceptable. The Company competes with many other companies that have substantially greater financial resources.

The Company may, in the future, be unable to meet its obligations under agreements to which it is a party and the Company may have its interest in the properties subject to such agreements reduced or terminated as a result.

Environmental Factors and Protection Requirements

The Company conducts exploration and development activities in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and British Columbia. All phases of the Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which requires stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulations, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations. There is no assurance that regulatory and environmental approvals will be obtained on a timely basis or at all. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce

19

the profitability of operations or to preclude entirely the economic development of a property. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties which are unknown to the Company at present which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties.

The approval of new mines on federal lands in Canada is subject to detailed review through a clearly established public hearing process, pursuant to the Federal Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. In addition, lands under federal jurisdiction are subject to the preparation of a costly environmental impact assessment report prior to the commencement of any mining operations. These reports entail a detailed technical and scientific assessment as well as a prediction of the impact on the environment of the proposed development. Further, under such review process, there is no assurance that regulatory and environmental approvals will be obtained on a timely basis or at all.

Provincial mining legislation establishes requirements for the decommissioning, reclamation and rehabilitation of mining properties in a state of temporary or permanent closure. Such closure requirements relate to the protection and restoration of the environment and the protection of public safety. Some former mining properties must be managed for long periods of time following closure in order to fulfill closure requirements. The cost of closure of mining properties and, in particular, the cost of long-term management of mining properties can be substantial. The Company intends to progressively rehabilitate its mining properties during their period of operation so as to reduce the cost of fulfilling closure requirements after the termination or suspension of production.

The Company has adopted an environmental policy designed to ensure that it continues to comply with or exceeds all environmental regulations currently applicable to it. All of the Company’s activities are in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental legislation. The Company is engaged in exploration with minimal environmental impact.

Mineral Exploration and Development

The Company’s properties are in the exploration stage and no proven or probable reserves have been defined or delineated. Development of the Company’s properties will only proceed upon obtaining satisfactory exploration results. Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that mineral exploration and development activities will result in the discovery of an economic or commercial deposit on any of the Company’s properties. Several years may pass between the discovery of a deposit and its exploitation. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineralized deposits.

Operating Hazards and Risks

Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of resources, any of which could result in work stoppages and damage to persons or property or the environment and possible legal liability for any and all damage. Fires, power outages, labour disruptions, industrial accidents, environmental hazards, periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour are some of the risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration programs. Although the Company will, when appropriate, secure liability insurance in an amount which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liability and hazards might not be insurable, or the Company might elect not to insure itself against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event the Company could incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition.

Economics of Developing Mineral Properties

Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop processes to extract diamonds, gold and base metals and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no

20

assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.

The majority of the Company’s properties are not located in developed areas and as a result may not be served by any appropriate road access, water and power supply and other support infrastructure. These items are often needed for the development of a commercial mine. If these items cannot be procured or developed at a reasonable cost, it may not be economical to develop these properties into a commercial mining operation.

The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the Company’s control and which cannot be predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. Depending on the price of minerals produced, the Company may determine that it is impractical to commence or continue commercial production.

Commodity Prices

The Company’s revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the mining and sale of diamonds, gold, silver, nickel, copper, zinc, and lead or interests related thereto. The price of commodities has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control including international economic and political conditions, expectations of inflation, international currency exchange rates, interest rates, global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities, levels of supply and demand, increased production due to new mine developments and improved mining and production methods, availability and costs of substitutes, commodity stock levels maintained by producers and others, and inventory carrying costs. The effect of these factors on commodity prices and therefore the economic viability of the Company’s operations cannot accurately be predicted.

Title

Although we believe that the Company’s mineral titles are secure there is no guarantee that title to the mineral property interests in which the Company has a material interest will not be challenged or impugned. The Company’s mineral property interests may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims, and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Governmental Regulation

Operations, development and exploration on the Company’s mineral property interests are affected to varying degrees by: (i) government regulations relating to such matters as environmental protection, health, safety and labour; (ii) mining law reform; (iii) restrictions on production, price controls, and tax increases; (iv) maintenance of claims; (v) tenure; and (vi) expropriation of property. There is no assurance that future changes in such regulations, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations. Changes in such regulations could result in additional expenses and capital expenditures, availability of capital, competition, reserve uncertainty, potential conflicts of interest, title risks, dilution, and restrictions and delays in operations, the extent of which cannot be predicted.

Exploration on the Company’s mineral property interests requires responsible best exploration practices to comply with government regulations. The Company is required to be registered to do business and have a valid prospecting license (required to prospect or explore for minerals on Crown Mineral Land or to stake a claim) in any Canadian province or territory in which it is carrying out work. Mineral exploration primarily falls under provincial and territorial jurisdiction. However, the Company is also required to follow the regulations pertaining to the mineral exploration industry that fall under federal jurisdiction, such as the Fish and Wildlife Act.

If any of the Company’s projects are advanced to the development stage, those operations will also be subject to various laws and regulations concerning development, production, taxes, labour standards, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. In addition, new laws or regulations governing operations and activities of mining

21

companies could have a material adverse impact on any project in the mine development stage that the Company may possess.

Land Reclamation

Land reclamation requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies in order to minimize the long-term effects of land disturbance. Reclamation may include requirements to control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents and reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance land forms and vegetation. The Company has land use permits and safekeeping agreements in place that will be returned when the Company is ready to abandon its interests in the claims and reclaim the land to its original state.

Aboriginal Rights

Aboriginal rights may be claimed on Crown properties or other types of tenure with respect to which mining rights have been conferred. The Company is not aware of any aboriginal land claims having been asserted or any legal actions relating to native issues having been instituted with respect to any of the mineral claims in which the Company has an interest. The Company is aware of the mutual benefits afforded by co-operative relationships with indigenous people in conducting exploration activity and is supportive of measures established to achieve such cooperation.

Management

The success of the Company depends to a large extent on its ability to retain the services of its senior management, consultants and key personnel. The loss of their services may have a material, adverse effect on the Company.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain officers and directors of the Company are officers and/or directors of, or are associated with, other natural resource companies that acquire interests in mineral properties. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The directors are required by law, however, to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and to disclose any personal interest which they may have in any material transaction which is proposed to be entered into with the Company and to abstain from voting as a director for the approval of any such transaction.

Limited Operating History: Losses

Price Fluctuations: Share Price Volatility

Securities markets in the United States and Canada are subject to a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many mineral exploration companies are subject to wide fluctuations in price which may not necessarily relate to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur.
