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

Gold Point Project, Nevada (under option)

The past-producing Gold Point Project (“Gold Point”) is located in the prolific Walker Lane Trend, southwestern Nevada and is accessible via highway 774. It consolidates multiple properties with a combined area of approximately 7,443 acres (30.1 km²), having camp-scale exploration potential. Gold Point is located 42 kilometers south of Goldfield, Nevada and covers several historical mine sites that intermittently produced gold and silver between 1882 and 1962. The first activity at Gold Point dates back to 1868, when prospectors discovered lime deposits, and subsequently silver, which was the primary commodity mined until the early 1920s when more gold-rich parts of the veins were accessed. This intermittent mining continued until 1942, when production was suspended by a government order related to the war effort. Limited operations resumed again in 1946 and by 1962 all operations had ceased due to corporate issues.

The Gold Point Project comprises 375 lode claims and 7 patented claims. In 2020, the Company entered into three option agreements in respect of contiguous parcels of 65 federal lode mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada (LBD property, EGP property, and TOM property). The Company has completed its minimum exploration expenditures required under the terms of these option agreements.

The first option agreement (and as most recently amended on July 24, 2023) is with a private Nevada corporation (the “Optionor”) and entitles GGL the option to acquire a 100% interest in the LBD property (10 federal lode mining claims), by making cash payments totaling US$850,000 by July 31, 2027 (US$400,000 remaining as at the date of this MD&A). This option agreement also provides that the Optionor shall retain a 2% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty related to mineral products from commercial production from the LBD property. GGL has the right to purchase one-half of the royalty for US$1,000,000.

The second option agreement is with Silver Range Resources Ltd. (“Silver Range”). In respect of the EGP property (41 federal lode mining claims). In 2023, the Company fulfilled all obligations under the option agreement and earned a 75% interest in the EGP property and is jointly exploring the property with Silver Range on a 75%/25% basis. Silver Range is entitled to receive a one-time cash payment of US$4 per ounce based on the number of ounces of gold identified in the earlier of a measured or indicated mineral resource, or a proven or a probable mineral reserve, as contained in a National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) compliant technical report applicable to the EGP property.

On September 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Silver Range to contractually explore the property on a 75%/25% basis, with each party accounting for its share of expenditures on the property in proportion to its interest, which may be adjusted from time to time. The Company will be the operator of the joint venture with full power and authority to perform actions necessary in facilitation of the joint venture activities. The Company will also earn an administration fee as the operator.

GGL has acquired a 100% interest in the TOM property through a third option agreement with Silver Range and a private Nevada corporation (collectively the "Optionors") (14 federal lode mining claims). Each of the Optionors will be entitled to receive a one-time cash payment of US$1 per ounce based on the number of ounces of gold identified in the earlier of a measured or indicated mineral resource, or a proven or a probable mineral reserve, as contained in a NI 43-101 compliant technical report applicable to the TOM property. The option agreement also provides that each of the Optionors shall retain a 1% NSR royalty related to mineral products from commercial production from the property. GGL has the right to purchase one-half of each of the royalties for a payment of US$2 per ounce on the first 250,000 ounces of gold contained in any measured or indicated resource estimate, or any proven or probable reserve, and US$1 per ounce of gold above 250,000 ounces thereafter.

The Company has a 100% interest in three patented claims (0.24 km²) that cover the Grand Central Vein, located approximately 430 m southwest of the Great Western Vein. A 2% NSR royalty is payable on mineral production from the claims with GGL having the optional right to purchase 50% of the royalty for US$1,000,000 and a Right of First Refusal on the remaining royalty.

The Company originally held only a 75% interest in four contiguous patented claims encompassing 44 acres (0.18 km²) known as the Lime Point property. A portion of the claims carry a 1% NSR royalty. The Lime Point claims lie along trend of known veins including the Great Western Vein. In August 2024, the Company consolidated the full 100% interest in the Lime Point Claims by purchasing the remaining 25% interest at the Esmeralda County Land Auction for $5,700.

The Gold Point Project is underlain by Precambrian Reed Dolomite and Wyman Formation siltstone, limestone, and shale. Weak metamorphism in the Wyman Formation is believed to be caused by the Jurassic Sylvania granitic pluton exposed to the west and south of the property.

Native gold and chlorargyrite (silver chloride), with minor amounts of chalcopyrite, galena, and pyrite occur in northwest striking, steeply north dipping, quartz veins that cross cut shale and limestone of the Wyman Formation. Multiple stages of movement along the vein structures resulted in brecciation of the veins which have been re-cemented by chalcedonic quartz, hematite, and limonite. The veins are typically 1 to 2 m wide and locally range up to 7 m in width. Most of the gold production came from higher-grade shoots that rake relatively consistent from level to level. None of the underground workings at the Gold Point Project reached the water table. Historical production reports indicated that recovery of gold and silver were achieved through cyanidation and are within the range of 92% to 98% for gold and 53% to 82% for silver.

Although at least 15 significant veins have been historically reported in the district, the majority of production within the bounds of the Gold Point Project was from the Orleans Vein which produced an estimated 48,000 oz gold. An estimated additional 27,000 oz gold was produced from the Great Western Vein up to 1922.

Historical exploration at the Gold Point Project focused on the past-producing mines and areas immediately adjacent. There is little evidence of systematic exploration or any significant work that may have been done to test for veins in areas covered by overburden.

Grid soil sampling has been conducted in the eastern and central portions of the property. The results of the soil geochemistry has identified linear gold-in-soil anomalies that correspond to the known veins. Several previously undocumented occurrences may be followed up by future drilling.

A 15-hole, 1,874 m reverse circulation drilling program was completed in 2021. The drill program successfully confirmed that ore shoots extend beyond mineralization mapped in the underground workings. Mineralization extends into adjacent, fractured and altered wallrocks, additional ore shoots exist along strike of the underground workings, and additional veins exist parallel to the known vein structure. In 2022, two diamond drill holes totaling 440.5 m were completed on a section line that crosses projections of two of the past-producing veins (Great Western and Hornsilver) and other nearby targets that GGL had identified by prospecting and soil geochemistry in recent years.

Highlights from the drill programs include:

  • 2.22 g/t gold and 13.6 g/t silver over 12.19 m, including 5.17 g/t gold and 24.8 g/t silver over 4.57 m, hole GP-21-012;
  • 2.40 g/t gold and 80 g/t silver over 9.15 m, including 3.99 g/t gold and 132 g/t silver over 4.57 m, hole GP-21-003; and,
  • 1.5 g/t gold and 101.5 g/t silver over 5.64 m, including 4.43 g/t gold and 424 g/t silver over 0.87 m, hole GP-22-016.

Drilling has evaluated both high-grade and bulk tonnage potential related to multiple closely spaced veins that are bisected by the section line. The 2022 section line crosses linear gold-in-soil anomalies that are attributed to veins and a broad zone of elevated soil values that have not been explained by surface exploration.

Access to the underground workings at the Great Western Mine was re-established in 2020. Field crews completed sampling of the 100' through 600' levels of the mine with the collection of 171 chip samples. Thirty of the samples collected returned greater than 3 g/t gold equivalent with 89 yielding greater than 1 g/t gold equivalent.

Highlights from the 2021 underground sampling at the Great Western Mine include:

  • 23.7 g/t gold with 76 g/t silver over 1.30 m from the 500' level;
  • 7.48 g/t gold with 64.3 g/t silver over 1.58 m from the 200' level;
  • 6.87 g/t gold with 40.4 g/t silver over 1.63 m from the 500' level;
  • 6.65 g/t gold with 29.5 g/t silver over 1.94 m from the 500' level; and
  • 3.57 g/t gold with 367 g/t silver over 1.00 m from the 300' level

Access to the Orleans Mine, the largest of four former producers on the Gold Point Property, was re-established in 2022. Rehabilitation of the Orleans and Dunfee collars allowed for safe access. Once underground, crews discovered the development at the Orleans Mine was more extensive than indicated on archive maps the Company had acquired. The undocumented workings include a series of raises and winzes that provided safe access to all, but the lowest two levels of the mine.

During the 2022 program, initial sampling and mapping was conducted in the western portions of the 150', 300', 400', 600', and 800' levels of the Orleans Mine. Access to the 960' and 1020' levels is open, but additional ground support and rehabilitation is required before crews can safely enter those workings. There is good air circulation throughout the mine suggesting that blockages that occur locally in shafts and drifts are relatively limited in size and extent.

A total of 48 continuous chip samples were collected from the Orleans Mine. Only eight of the 48 chip samples are considered unmineralized, returning less than 0.2 g/t gold.

Highlights from the 2022 sampling at the Orleans Mine include:

  • 61.8 g/t gold with 71 g/t silver over 1.38 m from the 300' level;
  • 27.7 g/t gold with 63 g/t silver over 1.68 m from the 150' level;

6

  • 21.4 g/t gold with 131 g/t silver over 1.22 m from the 800' level;
  • 18.4 g/t gold with 142 g/t silver over 1.52 m from the 600' level;
  • 9.24 g/t gold with 646 g/t silver over 2.13 m from the 300' level;
  • 2.63 g/t gold with 634 g/t silver over 1.68 m from the 300' level; and
  • 0.49 g/t gold with 970 g/t silver over 1.52 m from the 300' level.

Routine contour soil sampling in the western parts of the property, late in 2022, identified a previously unrecognized copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system, referred to as Le Champ D'Gold Point ("Le Champ"). It has since been better defined by additional soil and rock sampling, helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric surveys and reconnaissance-scale geological mapping and prospecting.

Le Champ is located about 3.5 km west of the gold-rich veins that have been the focus of historical exploration at Gold Point. The porphyry target lies within the Jurassic-age, Sylvania Granitic Complex. This pluton is similar in age to intrusions that host large porphyry systems in the Yerington district of Walker Lane, 249 km to the northwest. The best-known deposits in the Yerington District are the former Yerington Mine, which was operated by Anaconda and the Ann Mason deposit owned by Hudbay Minerals.

Contour soil sampling has identified a number of areas of anomalous copper and molybdenum associated with strongly altered granodiorite. Peak values are located near large talus trains containing highly fractured and pitted rocks coated with goethite, limonite, and jarosite. The strongest string of samples yielded molybdenum between 22 ppm and 975 ppm and copper ranging from 48 ppm to 300 ppm, over a length of 480 m.

Rocks in the Le Champ area have been oxidized and leached of mobile metals as a result of intense and long-lived surface weathering. The depth of the leached cap at Le Champ is not known. However, oxidation at some of the veins in the Gold Point district extends to more than 270 m below surface. Numerous rock samples from Le Champ have returned strongly elevated molybdenum values ranging from 200 ppm to 407 ppm. Peak values for other metals include 713 ppm copper, 0.28 g/t gold and 3.91 g/t silver. No specific copper minerals have been identified with Le Champ to date. However, abundant malachite and azurite are found locally in fringing veins located immediately north of the porphyry target. Samples from these veins returned 0.04% to 6.3% copper, 3 ppm to 6,820 ppm molybdenum, and 0.01 g/t to 3.45 g/t gold.

The geochemically anomalous area is cored by a 1.5 km long by 800 m wide, elliptical magnetic high located fully within the much larger Sylvania Complex. This magnetic feature is distinct from the magnetic signature in surrounding areas of the plutonic complex. Preliminary interpretation of the magnetic data suggests that the area of high magnetism is located at depth. This interpretation is supported by results from prospecting, which has not identified any concentration of magnetic minerals at surface.

In October 2023, GGL completed additional mapping and soil geochemical sampling over the Le Champ area. Geological mapping identified six separate intrusive phases within the Sylvania Plutonic Complex hosting extensive stockwork and sheeted vein zones. The strongest molybdenum-in-soil anomalies are associated with the stockwork zones. Copper-in-soil geochemistry is moderately anomalous throughout Le Champ with the strongest values near shallowly south-dipping fault structures and stockwork zones.

In 2023, additional lode claims were staked to cover the Le Champ D'Gold Point target and an extension of the gold-silver vein system located about 700 m along strike to the west of the main underground workings on the Orleans Vein. The Gold Point property now totals 7,443 acres (30.1 km²).

In February 2024, GGL completed an Induced Polarization/resistivity survey at Le Champ. The survey comprised nine lines, each 5.4 km long and spaced 300 m apart, totaling 48.6 line-km. Dipoles were spaced 300 m apart along the lines. The survey was centered over areas with abundant stockwork veining and silica alteration.


7

A large and discrete Induced Polarization (“IP”) anomaly that was traced across seven of the nine survey lines begins between 150 m and 300 m below surface and extends to depth. The significance of this approximately 2 km by 1 km IP anomaly is bolstered by its close correlation with magnetic features and related anomalous copper, molybdenum and gold in soil geochemistry. This IP target coincides with a strong magnetic anomaly identified by an earlier airborne magnetic and radiometric survey completed by GGL in spring 2023.

The coincident IP and magnetic anomalies with supportive geochemistry and geology are indicative of a large, yet untested copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system. The IP anomaly is interpreted to be caused by metallic sulphide minerals forming a shell around the contact between different intrusive phases.

On September 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Lease and Option Agreement with Teck American Incorporated (“Teck”), a subsidiary of a leading Canadian resource company, Teck Resources Limited, allowing Teck to earn a 100% interest in a portion of the Gold Point Project known as the Le Champ copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry target (the “Teck Option”). Pursuant to the terms of the Teck Option, Teck can acquire the property by making cash payments as detailed below, in addition to paying annual claim maintenance fees on behalf of the Company (paid $53,000 for 2024).

Cash payments of $1,400,000:
- $50,000 by October 2, 2024 (received);
- $50,000 by September 24, 2025;
- $100,000 by September 24, 2026;
- $200,000 by September 24, 2027; and
- $1,000,000 by September 24, 2028.

The Company retains a 2% NSR of which Teck can buy-back 0.5% for $1,500,000, and an additional 0.5% for $2,000,000. Buy-back pricing subject to adjustment for inflation. Additionally, Teck is required to make a milestone payment to the Company of $2,000,000 upon making a production decision.

In February 2025, Teck provided GGL an update of fieldwork conducted on the Le Champ porphyry target. A mapping program was executed in October 2024 that defined porphyry-style veining and alteration domains coincident with the IP chargeability/conductivity anomaly and copper-molybdenum soil anomalies defined by GGL’s previous work on the Le Champ porphyry target area.

These collective field works correlate well with the key mapping criteria utilized by Teck to aid in drill hole targeting. The following mapped characteristics support the upper potassic alteration envelope hypothesis:

  • High density sheeted to stockwork EDM (chalcopyrite with biotite selvage) and B type (K-feldspar vein haloes) vein densities fringed by zones of D veins (phyllic);
  • Strong secondary biotite alteration;
  • Syn- to early-mineral intrusions or mineralized transitional igneous-hydrothermal breccias;
  • Elevated volume % oxide after sulfide estimates within zones of highest vein density;
  • Elevated ratios of glass limonite (interpreted as chalcopyrite) to other limonite species are concurrent with all the above mentioned potassic features; and,
  • Distribution and volume % estimate of oxide sites including goethite, hematite, jarosite, and glass limonite coincident with the IP chargeability anomaly are a possible indication of remnant hypogene sulphides (chalcopyrite, bornite/magnetite, and pyrite) in a pre-weathering environment.

An extensive geochronological (age dating) sampling program included U-Pb, Zircon geochronology to understand the relationships between the mapped pre-, post- and syn- intrusive phases identified at Le Champ. The 167-159 Ma age range is consistent with syn-mineral dikes at the McArthur and Ann Mason deposits in the nearby Yerington District also in the Walker Lane Trend of Nevada.


8

The identification of two syn-mineral intrusive phases associated with hydrothermal alteration, mineralization and veining, the increase in secondary biotite and K-spar alteration proximal to known hydrothermal breccias and B-type veins, and the coincidence of classic D-type veins with sericite and clay alteration also supports the Le Champ porphyry copper target.

A Notice of Intent (NOI) has been approved by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for construction of access roads and drill pads in support of an upcoming drill program

McConnell Creek Project, British Columbia (wholly-owned)

The 100% owned McConnell Creek Project is located 400 km northwest of Prince George and 22 km southeast of the past producing Kemess open pit copper-gold mine in British Columbia. The property is comprised of 7,100 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.

Historical work:

In 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-sericide-limonite 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*.

During 2020, the Company conducted 12 line km of induced polarization ("IP") and ground magnetic surveying over the copper zone. The IP survey complements a reconnaissance-style IP survey conducted in 2008, which identified an untested buried chargeability anomaly proximal to mineralized outcrops. The 2020 survey better defined the known chargeability target and identified two structurally-controlled, parallel conductors of which one is coincident with surface mineralization and the second unexposed.

In 2022, the Company conducted a mechanized exploration program consisting of excavator trenching complimented by hand work. A total of 246 meters of excavated trenching in 4 trenches and 24 meters of hand trenching in one trench were performed. Sixty-seven (67) continuous chip samples were collected over 77 meters cumulatively.


9

The trenches were designed to further evaluate the IP chargeability anomalies generated in the 2020 survey as well as to further evaluate known partially exposed mineralization. The southern chargeability anomaly was not trenched as a significant amount of unmineralized outcrop occurred coincident with the geophysical target. The northern anomaly is interpreted to represent a fault as a significant depth of water saturated overburden was encountered in the trench coincident with the center of the geophysical anomaly.

Trench TR2022-01 is associated with historic zones ‘D’ and ‘E’ and intercepted the most significant mineralization of the program. The trench is generally characterized as quartz monzonite with varying degrees of propylitic alteration with a minor zone of intensely altered purple intrusive or possible volcanics as well as propylitic alerted diorite with strong hematite staining and sporadic malachite staining. Throughout the trench are a number of quartz veins up to 25 cm in width. These veins contain massive chalcopyrite with lesser pyrite. Malachite and azurite staining can be found within and on the flanks of these veins. Visual copper mineralization (chalcopyrite, malachite, azurite) can be found in numerous locations over 60 m of the 70 m trench length. The highest weighted average assay interval is 11.9 m returning 0.24% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au and 2.68 g/t Ag. Within this 11.9 m is a high-grade interval of 0.75 m containing 2.69% Cu, 0.39 g/t Au and 20.27 g/t Ag.

During year ended November 30, 2024, the Company conducted data compilation, geological modeling, reevaluation and interpretation on the project.

Stein Project, Nunavut (under option)

The Company has an option agreement in good standing 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 8,750 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 had previously conducted detailed ground geophysics on high priority airborne targets and converted prospecting permits to mineral claims. The Company wrote-off the carrying value of this project during 2022, as it has no current budgeted exploration programs in place for this project.

Stein is an advanced diamond exploration project having the benefit of numerous successive exploration campaigns and over $1,500,000 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 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 complemented 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 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


10

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.

Northwest Territories - leases

On July 26, 2024, the Company signed a Purchase and Royalty Agreement with Aurora Geosciences Ltd. (“Aurora”) whereby Aurora purchased from the Company certain mineral leases underlying the Fishback, Zip (CH project), and PGB projects, as well as the Bishop lease, and certain assets with a $nil carrying value located in the Northwest Territories, Canada. On December 6, 2024, the Company and Aurora entered into an agreement to allow Aurora to assign these assets to its wholly-owned subsidiary.

Additionally, Aurora will acquire the reclamation deposit held by the Company with the Government of the Northwest Territories with a carrying value of $52,351. Consideration to the Company includes a 2% Net Returns Royalty (“NR”) on the Bishop lease, and the assumption by Aurora of any and all present or future liabilities in respect of the leases and assets sold. Aurora has the right at any time prior to commencement of production on the Bishop lease to purchase from the Company one-half of the 2% NR, being 1% for $1,000,000.

Other Interests—Diamond Royalties

Doyle leases

The Company maintains two diamond royalties on the Doyle mineral leases sold to Kennedy 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.

In 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% 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 1.5% NR and 0.5% NR, for the sum of $2,000,000.

In 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.

COMMITMENT

On May 30, 2022, the Company completed a private placement of flow-through shares for gross proceeds of $400,000 and amended the flow-through financing to $260,000, with the remaining $140,000 being converted to non-flow-through proceeds. The Company renounced the expenditures of $260,000 and available income tax benefits to the flow-through shareholders effective December 31, 2022. As at November 30, 2023, all funds had been spent.


16

The flow-through shares were issued at a premium to the trading value of the Company’s common shares, which reflect the value of the income tax write-offs that will be renounced to the flow-through shareholders. The premium was initially determined to be $75,000 which was recorded as a reduction of share capital and was reduced by $26,250 during the year ended November 30, 2023, as a result of the amendment described above, resulting in an overall premium of $48,750. An equivalent flow-through share premium liability was being reversed pro-rata as the required exploration expenditures were incurred. In connection with the amendment to convert $140,000 of the financing to non-flow-through proceeds, the subscriber, being a company controlled by the CEO of the Company, offered to forego the effect of the variance between the flow-through subscription price of $0.16 per share, and the non-flow-through subscription price of $0.13 per share. Therefore, the Company will not be issuing additional shares or repaying funds to the subscriber.

MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

The Company is a resource exploration company and considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital.

Except for the temporary bank loans repaid in January 2024 (government-guaranteed bank loans that are a part of the Canadian Emergency Business Account benefit in relation to COVID-19 relief), 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. Additionally, the Company may seek to invest excess capital in guaranteed investment certificates bearing fixed or variable rates of interest that are redeemable on demand (cash equivalents) and have terms not exceeding 12 months. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. The Company’s capital structure as at November 30, 2024, is comprised of shareholders’ equity of $5,653,816 (November 30, 2023 - $5,341,176).

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 Option Pricing model;
  • The determination of recoverability of amounts capitalized to mineral property interests; and
  • The determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

New Accounting Standards

There were no changes in accounting policies during the year ended November 30, 2024.

Recently adopted accounting standards

The Company adopted the following amendment to IFRS Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for the Company’s accounting period beginning on December 1, 2024. Their adoption has not had a material impact on disclosures or amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.


17

Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements

In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements titled non-current liabilities with covenants. These amendments sought to improve the information that an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within 12 months after the reporting period. These amendments to IAS 1 override but incorporate the previous amendments, Classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent, issued in January 2020, which clarified that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Liabilities should be classified as non-current if an entity has a substantive right to defer settlement for at least 12 months at the end of the reporting period.

Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Supplier Finance Arrangements

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments Disclosures to provide guidance on disclosures related to supplier finance arrangements that enable users of financial statements to assess the effects of these arrangements on the entity’s liabilities and cash flows and on the entity’s exposure to liquidity risk.

Recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards

The Company has not yet adopted certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards as outlined below, which have been published but are only effective for the Company’s accounting period beginning on December 1, 2025, or later periods.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. This standard aims to improve the consistency and clarity of financial statement presentation and disclosures by providing updated guidance on the structure and content of financial statements. Key changes include enhanced requirements for the presentation of financial performance, financial position, and cash flows, as well as additional disclosures to improve transparency and comparability. In addition, IFRS 18 requires entities to classify income and expenses into five categories, three of which are new – i.e. operating, investing and financing – and the income tax and discontinued operation categories. The new standard sets out detailed requirements for classifying income and expenses into each category. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of IFRS 18 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 requires entities to recognize financial assets and liabilities when they become party to the contractual terms and to measure them initially at fair value, adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs where applicable. The standard is being clarified to provide better guidance on the derecognition of financial liabilities, which can impact bank reconciliation processes, especially during debt restructuring based on the timing of payments on financial liabilities as compared to the actual settlement of those debts. This clarification may result in a change in the derecognition timing of financial liabilities in situations where electronic payments are involved. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this clarification of IFRS 9 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Refer to Note 2 in the November 30, 2024 audited consolidated 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 equity financing. The exploration and evaluation of the Company's mineral property interests depends on the Company's ability to obtain 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 availability and cost of funds for exploration, development and production costs are difficult to predict. Securities markets in 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, 2024, of $51,657 compared to working capital of $326,030 as at November 30, 2023. The Company’s current liabilities consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities which are generally due within 30 days and accounts payable to related parties. The Company extinguished its bank loans by repaying $40,000 during the year ended November 30, 2024 with the remaining $20,000 being forgiven. Improvements in working capital generally result from the issuance of share capital.

For the year ended November 30, 2024, the Company reported a loss of $275,949 (November 30, 2023 - $437,755), which after allowing for changes in non-cash operating working capital items from operating activities, resulted in net cash used in operating activities of $284,412 (November 30, 2023 - $265,317). Changes in operating activities for the year ended November 30, 2024, resulted primarily from an adverse net change in working capital year over year, while cash-based operating expenses decreased slightly. See “Selected Annual Information” above.

The Company’s cash position as at November 30, 2024, was $92,257 (November 30, 2023 - $464,606).

During the year ended November 30, 2024, no stock options were granted.

During the year ended November 30, 2023, 2,445,000 stock options were granted to Officers, Directors, related company employees and consultants which vested quarterly over a one-year period through to April 27, 2024. The Company recorded the fair value of all options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share-based payment expense was calculated using the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of options – five years, stock price volatility – 123.17%, no dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate yield – 3.09%. The fair value is particularly impacted by the Company's stock price volatility, determined using data from the previous five years. Using the above assumptions, the fair value of options granted during the year ended November 30, 2023, was approximately $0.05 per option, for a total of $110,810.

Total share-based payments expense for the year ended November 30, 2024, was $17,114 (2023 - $107,166) which includes only those options that vested during the year.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Global Economy Risk, Commodity Prices, and Public Health Crises

If current levels of volatility in global capital markets persist or if there is a further economic slowdown, the Company's operations, the Company's ability to raise capital and the trading price of the Company's securities could be adversely impacted. As the Company's operations expand and reliance on global supply chains increases, the impact of pandemics, significant geopolitical risk and conflict globally may have a sizeable and unpredictable impact on the Company's business, financial condition and operations. The COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and between Hamas and Israel, including the global response to such conflicts as it relates to sanctions, trade embargoes, export controls, military support and any restrictive actions in response thereto, have resulted in significant uncertainty as well as economic and supply chain disruptions, changes in commodity prices and implications in the financial markets. Should another significant variant of COVID-19 develop or the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and between Hamas and Israel go on for an extended period of time or expand territorially, or should other geopolitical disputes and conflicts emerge in other regions, this could result in material adverse effects to the Company.

A local, regional, national, or international outbreak of a contagious disease, such as COVID-19, could have an adverse effect on local economies and potentially the global economy, which may adversely impact the Company's ability to operate and conduct exploration programs in Canada and the USA. Such an outbreak, if uncontrolled, could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Other factors including political conflict in other regions may also have an adverse effect on operations and exploration programs.

The price of commodities fluctuates widely, 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.

Environmental Regulations, Permits and Licenses

The Company’s operations may be subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas that would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that means standards are stricter, and enforcement, fines and penalties for noncompliance are more stringent.

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.

Title Risks

Although GGL believes 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.

Price Fluctuations: Share Price Volatility

Securities markets in 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.

Future Financings

The Company’s continued operation will be dependent in part upon its ability to generate operating income and to procure additional financing. Fluctuations of global equity markets can have a direct effect on the ability of exploration companies to finance project acquisition and development through the equity markets. There can be no assurance that funds from the Company’s current financing sources can be generated or that other forms of financing can be obtained at a future date. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis may cause the Company to postpone exploration or development plans, forfeit rights in some or all of the properties or joint ventures, or reduce or terminate some or all of its operations.

Competitive Conditions

The mineral exploration industry is intensely competitive in all its phases and the Company competes with other companies that may have greater financial resources. Competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to acquire suitable properties, financing, or prospects in the future.
