1.4 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS - CONTINUED
Strategy for 2022
Improvement of the production capacity usage and of the material recovery ratio
-
During Q3-2022, the Corporation received and processed materials from July 15 until the end of August. Starting September 1st, considering the low material grade received from suppliers in August and the transportation difficulties due to the rainy season and the poor recovery, production management started a maintenance program to improve the plant efficiency for obtaining better gold recovery.
-
During Q3-2022, the Corporation was very active searching for additional suppliers to feed the plant with higher than 4 grams per ton on a regular basis.
-
During Q3-2022, the Corporation is also searching for additional laboratory equipment to reduce the variations obtained when comparing grades obtained from suppliers, external laboratories and the ones obtained from the analysis at the plant’s laboratory.
-
Cone crusher was repaired and operational during the third quarter. Therefore, mineralized materials were processed instead of tailings.
-
The Corporation disclosed in a new release dated December 2, 2021 and February 10, 2022 that it was hopeful to generate substantial cash flow in the near future, considering that spare parts ordered in June 2021 were to be received early 2022. Due to the current global supply disruption, the spare parts were only received during May 2022. As a consequence, the cone crusher could not be repaired for Q2-2022, forcing the Corporation to process tailings instead of mineralized materials. The processed tailings also had a high concentration of copper which resulted in a more complex metallurgical operation, having to separate copper from gold and silver. This situation brought about a much lower than expected material recovery which resulted instead in a negative operational cash flow.
-
During Q2-2022, the company reprocessed the first quarter residual material (called ‘’shlag’’) to ensure that separation of gold was maximized despite the high copper presence. This special process allowed to generate most of the quarter revenue while minimizing the cost for mineralized material.
-
During the first half of 2022, a new specialist in equipment maintenance and a laboratory specialist were hired by Cobra Oro to improve the plant and laboratory operations.

1.4 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS - CONTINUED
-
Management is also placing an emphasis in accessing its own mining concession in order to secure additional mineralized material supplies to be less dependant from outside suppliers. During the first half of 2022, subsidiary Cobra Oro and a local partner, created a subsidiary owned at 70%, called ‘’Inversiones Technicas Del Pacifico’’.

(1) EBITDA: “Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation” is a non-IFRS financial performance measure with no standard definition under IFRS. It is therefore possible that this measure could not be comparable with a similar measure of another corporation. The Corporation uses this non-IFRS measure as an indicator of the cash generated by the operations and allows investor to compare the profitability of the Corporation with others by canceling effects of different assets bases, effects due to different tax structures as well as the effects of different capital structures. EBITDA is calculated on p.16 of this MD&A. See the “Non- IFRS Measures” section 1.17 of this MD&A.
(2) Cash-flow used in operating activities before change in working capital items is a non-IFRS financial performance measure with no standard definition under IFRS. It is therefore possible that this measure could not be comparable with a similar measure of another corporation. This measure is calculated on p.16 of this MD&A. See the “Non-IFRS Measures” section 1.17 of this MD&A. The Corporation uses this non-IFRS measure which can also be helpful to investors as it provides a result which can be compared with the Corporation market share price.

1.5 KEY ECONOMIC TRENDS
Since 2021, the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) resulted in a major global health crisis which continued to have impacts on the global economy and the financial markets at the date of completion of the financial statements. These events have caused significant changes on the Corporation’s ability to complete planned exploration and evaluation activities, execute its 2022 business plan in the expected time frame, or its ability to obtain debt and equity financing.
Following these events, the Corporation has taken and will continue to take action to minimize the impact. However, it is impossible to determine the financial implications of these events for the moment.

1.5 KEY ECONOMIC TRENDS - CONTINUED
Gold market
During the current period ended on September 30, 2022, gold price ended at $1,661/oz compared to $1,830/oz on at the end of 2021 for a decrease of 9.2% since December 31, 2021. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, the averaged market price for gold was $1,728 /oz compared to $1,789/oz in Q3-2021 for a decrease of 3.4%
The price of gold and exchange rates influenced the selling revenue of metals and the exchange rate between the US and Canadian dollars had an impact on transfers of funds between the entities.
Exchange rates
The quarter end and quarterly exchange rates for Q3-2022 and 2021 were as follows:

The price of gold and exchange rates influenced the price per ounce sold and the exchange rate between the US and Lempiras, compared to Canadian dollar, had an impact on transfers of funds between the entities.
Phosphate market
The continued unstable political situation in the western Sahara, where a large portion of the world supply of phosphate is mined continues to put pressure on investors and fertilizer producers (which are all highly integrated) to develop safer more stable sources. North America runs a deficit of roughly 4 million tonnes per year expected to have increased to 8 million tonnes per year by 2021. Global demand for phosphate is increasing at approximately 3% per year due to global population growth and a shift in dietary habits towards more protein-rich foods.
Recently, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has disrupted the supply of many commodities from Russia and, created huge implications for the fertilizer market. Russia is a very large producer and exporter of various fertilizers, including phosphate as restrictions on imports from Russia occurred. Further, recent events surrounding the COVID-19 virus should continue to focus

attention on both the food chain and supply chain and thus, the attractiveness of the phosphate as a fertilizer.
These factors will contribute to the accelerated demand for fertilisers and consequently, to the development of projects in North America, and specifically in the province of Québec where several high phosphate concentrate deposits have been already been identified.

Production development
During Q3-2022, the Corporation received and processed materials from July 15 until the end of August. Starting September 1[st] , considering the lower material grade received from suppliers in August and the transportation difficulties due to the rainy season, production management started a maintenance program to improve the plant efficiency for obtaining better gold recovery.
During Q3-2022, the Corporation was very active searching for additional suppliers to feed the plant with higher than 4 grams per ton on a regular basis.
During Q3-2022, the Corporation is also searching for additional laboratory equipment to reduce the variations obtained when comparing grades obtained from suppliers and the ones from the analysis at the plant’s laboratory.
During Q2-2022, the company reprocessed the Q1 residual material (called ‘’shlag’’) resulting from low material recovery caused by a high concentration of copper. This material was processed without needing the use of the cone crusher which was being repaired to be operational by the middle of July. This resulted in a quarterly low cost for purchases of raw materials, considering the level of sales for this second quarter.
During the first half of 2022, a new specialist in equipment maintenance and a laboratory specialist were hired by Cobra Oro, in order to minimise the production downtime and maximize the usage of the plant capacity.

1.6 DISCUSSION ON EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION ACTIVITIES - CONTINUED
On July 28, 2021, the Corporation announced the appointment of Karl Trudeau as the Corporation's new Chief Operating Officer (COO). Mr. Trudeau is an experienced professional specialized in Mining, Production, Engineering and Processing. Mr. Trudeau brings more than 17 years of mine and industrial process management and turn around situations to Glen Eagle. As Chief
Operating Officer of Glen Eagle, Mr. Trudeau is responsible for all operational processes at Cobra Oro with the mission to turn around the situation at its gold processing plant by optimizing profitability.
Furthermore, a metallurgist was engaged by the Corporation to better understand the metallurgical of the material supplied by its suppliers, in order to maximise recovery of gold when processing rocks.
During the first half of 2021, the plant was partially in care and maintenance program due The Covid 19 situation causing difficulty to bring repair parts at the plant. This resulted in production stops and the Corporation took advantage of this situation, and increased efforts in reviewing the procedure for maintenance of the production plant.
Material supply
Management has signed, during the second quarter of 2021, a supply agreement with its Mexican partner (NSA) to increase daily mineralized materials of 100 tons for the remainder of 2021. The mineralized material supplied was not coming from mineral reserves and the economic viability was not proven because no 43101 report was produced proving adequate reserves. This agreement is to be renegotiated in 2022. Management is giving a constant priority of sourcing new suppliers for 2022. (See section 1.18- d))
Property
Since April 27th, 2020, the Corporation completed 80% of the acquisition of Piedra Dorada mining concession located in the mining district of El Corpus in Honduras. The concession is easily accessible all year long by the main road and covers 10 square kilometers of land located in the center of a 25 km wide corridor. A swap between property La Cobra and Piedra Dorada was engineered. The agreement for the acquisition of Piedra Dorada was finalized by the parties but is still in approval process as the exchange of properties needs to be approved by the Ministry of Mines for the transaction to be completed.

Permits
On November 24, 2016, the Corporation announced that the most valuable permit (beneficiary permit) to meet mining compliance in Honduras has been renewed irrevocably in favor of Cobra Oro for the next fifteen years while its environmental permit was approved and validated.
This confirmed that the Hondurian minister of mine reviewed Cobra Oro production facilities and approved the production process applied by the Corporation.
PHOSPHATE PROPERTIES
Moose Lake, Lac St-Jean area (Quebec)
The Company owns a phosphate deposit approximately 100 km north of the town of Saguenay in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. The deposit was drilled in 2012 and 2014 and was traced over a length of 1.5 Km and is about 250 m thick in average. About 8,000 m of diamond drilling has delineated the deposit on a 100m by 100m drill grid. The deposit lies within a layered anorthosite complex and is considered to fall into the igneous source of phosphate which accounts for about 20% of the world’s production. No work has been done on the project since 2017. The phosphate market has evolved in the last years with the development of Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries and the possible shortage phosphorous as fertilizer. During the quarter ended on March 31, 2022, the company has decided to reactivate this project by acquiring 27 claims by map designation. The
Moose Lake project now comprised 108 claims over a 60 km2 area. These 27 claims contain 3 phosphates showing with phosphate grades of up to 6.56% P2O4.
On June 17th, 2022 (the Effective date), the Corporation signed a Mineral Option Agreement with an unlisted reporting issuer company (the ‘’buyer’’) for an option to acquire the Moose Lake property. Per agreement, the buyer will pay the Corporation an amount of $1,491,000 and a total of 6,000,000 shares , to be issued on or before the 6th month anniversary of the Effective date. The shares will be subject to a voluntary resale restriction from the date of issuance of the shares, with 10% of such shares being released on March 31, 2023 and 15% of shares being released every three months thereafter.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE SALES
- During the third quarter, Q3-2022, the gold and silver sales amounted to $21,410 and finished goods inventory valuation increased by $202,242. The finished goods are evaluated at the minimum of selling price or production cost; in that situation, they are at selling price. During Q3-2022, the Corporation received and processed materials from July 15 until the end of August. Starting September 1st, considering the lower material grade received from suppliers in August and the transportation difficulties due to the rainy season, production management started a maintenance program to improve the plant efficiency for improving gold recovery .
Two important factors to improve for increasing production level in 2022 and beyond.
Material recovery rate
-
During Q3, although major equipment’s such as cone crusher, were repaired, the recovery ratios was not improved as wanted and this situation requested full attention from local management to find the reasons for the lack of good material recovery. Some issues such as the material ending in the tailings, presence of copper in the material, wrong calculation of grade by the laboratory department have been scrutinized during the months of September and October.
-
The cone crusher was repaired and operational by the beginning of the third quarter. During that period, mineralized materials were processed instead of tailings.
-
A new laboratory specialist was nominated by the company to assist the Chief of Operations.

- During the quarter, the Chief of Operations, assisted with a new metallurgist, equipment specialist and laboratory specialist, have worked to improve the equipment maintenance procedures and production processes.
Usage of production capacity
During the third quarter, the plant operated 41 days with 39 tons per day as an average while, management targeted 66 days at 70 tons per day which gave a 35% usage of plant capacity.
Supervised by the Chief of Operations, local management work to ensure equipment’s profitability by ensuring that production stops are minimized: Therefore,
-
Spare parts must be in sufficient quantity in the inventory, to ensure prompt equipment reparations
-
Supplier’s mineralized material with acceptable grade (more than 4gr/T) must be in sufficient quantity at the plant to ensure constant production.
COST OF SALES
Material supplies
-
During the period ending Q3-2022, the grade per ton of the material processed was at an average of 3.9 gr/t compared to an average of 2.4 g/t of material processed during Q2-2021. During this period, it was found many discrepancies when comparing grades obtained from suppliers, external laboratories and the ones obtained from the analysis at the plant’s laboratory. Consequently, management is searching for additional laboratory equipment to reduce the variations obtained.
-
Also, during Q3-2022, a total of 1,602 tons were processed resulting in a 35% usage capacity. To operate at an 80% capacity, the plant would have to process around 3,700 tons. This is why local management is concentrating on finding more suppliers that can bring more materials.
Local management is dedicated to find new material with higher grade, to improve the profitability of the plant and has started an exploration program to identify properties with adequate grade, to improve the quality of feed at the plant and to help determine which property or concession is of interest for the Corporation.

Note 1: During Q2-2022, the company reprocessed the Q1 residual material (called ‘’shlag’’). This material is not included in the tons per day average and usage % plant capacity. The impact of this process was on the % material recovery that increased from 23% in Q1-2022 to 56% on a cumulative basis for Q1 and Q2-2022.
() Excludes the silver ounces recovered as the Corporation is paying the material supplies received from locals, based on the gold grams determined to be in the material, after laboratory analysis. (*) Since January 1[st] 2018, the tons per day achievable considering the equipment in place is 70 tons per day for 26 days per month. On July 1st, 2022, the number of days per month was modified retroactively to 22 days per month to better reflect reality.
Salaries
During the period ended September 30, 2022, labor costs amounted to $99,705, compared to $130,307 for Q3-2021. This was the result of the engagement of additional equipment and metallurgist specialists for monitoring the equipment repairs and maintenance, as well as the metallurgical treatment of the raw material being processed at the plant.

Electricity
During Q3-2022, electricity cost amounted to $61,456 compared to $10,734 for Q2-2021. This is in relation to the level of production in the quarters.
Equipment repair and maintenance
During Q3-2022, the cost for repair and maintenance amounted to $41,915, compared to $65,835 for Q3-2021. This represents increased efforts in plant repair and maintenance during the two quarters as the rainy season explains the efforts put on maintenance to improve the plant efficiency.
Production supplies
During Q3-2022, the cost for production supply amounted to $86,184, compared to $80,016 for Q32021. The usage of supplies is for plant maintenance.
Gross operating margin
During the period ended September 30, 2022, a gross operating loss of $262,850 was recorded compared to a gross operating loss of $301,430 during Q3-2021. The production fixe and variable costs level requires an higher % of production usage and material recovery to get to the break even point.
G&A
The general and administration total expense were $1,684,025 in Q3-2022 compared to $586,536 for Q3-2021 for a variance of $1,097,489. This variance is mostly explained by the GEM legal case for $1,252,682 announced on September 16[th] , 2022, an increase in business development for $120,603 and a reduction of share base payments of 299,560 during Q3-2022 compared to Q3-2021.
Summary: The operations are monitored with the objectives of:
-
Improving the maintenance procedures to determine with more accuracy the spare parts to be inventoried in order to reduce the production stoppages and therefore increase the usage of the plant capacity to at least 80%
-
Ensure an adequate spare parts inventory that will minimize the production stops.
-
Ensure the plant is feed with material grade higher than 4 grams and with enough suppliers that allows to reach the usage of production capacity higher than 80%.
-
Improve the equipment and production process to ensure a minimum 80% material recovery.
-
- To reduce the material cost per ounce produced, management is actively searching new concessions to ensure constant quality material availability.

a) Moose Lake (Lac St-Jean – Quebec)
On October 12, 2011, the Corporation entered into an option agreement with a private company and two individuals, to acquire a 100% interest in a phosphate property (“Moose Lake”) located in the St-Jean Lake area (Quebec), approximately 150 km south of Lisette Lake. As the obligations of the option agreement have been fully respected, the right to property was transferred to the Corporation in 2018. The Corporation assumes a 1% NSR payable to the vendor and redeemable by tranche of 0.5% for $500,000 each. During the quarter ended on March 31, 2022, the Corporation added 27 claims to the property for a total of 108 claims.
On June 17th, 2022 (the Effective date), the Corporation signed a Mineral Option Agreement with an unlisted reporting issuer company (the ‘’buyer’’) for an option to acquire the Moose Lake property. Per agreement, the buyer will pay the Corporation an amount of $1,491,000 and a total of 6,000,000 shares of the buyer, to be issued on or before the 6th month anniversary of the Effective date. They were issued and received by the Corporation on August 23, 2022. The shares will be subject to a voluntary resale restriction from the date of issuance of the shares, with 10% of such shares being released on March 31, 2023 and 15% of shares being released every three months thereafter. The cost for shares was determined to be $1,303,122 using the market value discounted by a factor to take into account the present illiquidity of the placement.
Payment of the amount of $1,491,000 as follows:
-
i) $191,000 on the Effective date (June 17[th] , 2022); (received)
-
ii) $300,000 on or before July 7[th] , 2022; (received)

| September 30, 2022 | 320,026 | 479,147 | 0.00 |
| June 30, 2022 | (358,498) | (320,066) | (0.00) |
| March 31, 2022 | (893,349) | (935,003) | (0.01) |
| December 31, 2021 | (1,111,092) | (1,161,157) | (0.01) |
| September 30, 2021 | (956,824) | (916,855) | (0.01) |
| June 30, 2021 | (302,827) | (329,612) | (0.00) |
| March 31, 2021 | (397,998) | (425,737) | (0.00) |
| December 31, 2020 | (509,738) | (583,898) | (0.01) |
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, a net gain of $320,026 was recorded compared to a net loss of $956,924 for the same period in 2021; the variation is mainly due to a gain on the disposal of Exploration and Evaluation asset, Lac Moose property, for $2,312,030 during Q3-2022.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a net loss of $358,498 was recorded compared to a net loss of $302,827 for the same period in 2021; the variation is mainly due to the improvement of the gross margin by $128,904 counterbalanced by the increase in G&A where professional fees were higher by $106,519 in Q2-2021.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, a net loss of $893,349 was recorded compared to a net loss of $397,998 for the same period in 2021; this negative variation was due to an increase in the G&A expenses for $132,471 and an increase in the cost of sales for $526,445 due to a lower material recovery rate.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, a net loss of $1,111,092 was recorded compared to a net loss of $509,738 for the same period in 2020. The variation is explained by higherthan-normal legal fees of $342,000 and a legal provision of $250,000, the low level of production during the fourth quarter coupled with additional production supplies needed for the annual repair and maintenance of equipment during the quarter.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, a net loss of $956,824 was recorded compared to a net loss of $636,601 for the same period in 2020. The variation is explained by the low level of production during the third quarter coupled with additional production supplies needed for equipment repair and maintenance and additional salaries during the quarter.

1.12 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As at September 30, 2022, the Corporation has a negative working capital of $2,173,105 (negative of $939,454 as at December 31, 2021). In the situation where cash flows from its operations in Honduras would be insufficient, management is of the opinion that additional financings would be necessary to maintain the status of its current and future obligations.
The Corporation’s principal source of financing is equity financing, the success of which depends on capital markets, the attractiveness of exploration companies to investors, and metal prices. To continue its future exploration activities and be able to support its ongoing operations, the Corporation will need to maintain and expand its relationships with the financial community to obtain further equity financing which is often necessary to support exploration programs.
Management estimates that current funds will not be sufficient to meet the Corporation’s obligations and budgeted expenses through December 31, 2022. Any additional funding may be met in the future in a few ways including but not limited to: increase in production, the issuance of new equity instruments and debt financing.
1.13 OFF-BALANCE SHEETS ARRANGEMENTS
The Corporation has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements including, without limitation, in respect of guaranteed contracts, contingent interests in assets transferred to unconsolidated entities, derivative financial obligations, or in respect to any obligation under a variable interest equity arrangement.
1.14 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. There is a full disclosure and description of the Corporation's significant accounting policies, critical policies estimates, judgments, and assumptions in notes 2, 3 and 4 of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Management has established these amounts in a reasonable manner, to ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects.
1.15 RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
New standards and interpretations adopted
No new accounting standards adopted for the period ended September 30, 2022.

1.16 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and liabilities have been classified into categories that determine their basis of measurement and, for items measured at fair value, whether changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statement of income or comprehensive income. Those categories are: fair value through profit or loss; loans and receivables; available for sale financial assets; and, for liabilities, amortized cost. The table reproduced in the consolidated financial statements as at September 30, 2022, shows the carrying values and fair values of assets and liabilities for each of these categories as at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Furthermore, financial risks factors are well described in these financial statements.
1.17 NON-IFRS MEASURES
Throughout this document, the Corporation has provided measures prepared according to IFRS as well as some non-IFRS financial performance measures. Because the non-IFRS performance measures do not have any standardized definition prescribed by IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Corporation provides these non-IFRS financial performance measures as they may be used by some investors to evaluate our financial performance. Accordingly, they are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial performance measures were reconciled to reported IFRS measures within the document. (Refer to section 1.7 for description and reconciliation of those non-IFRS measures).
1.18 RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
An investment in the common shares of the Corporation should be considered highly speculative for a variety of reasons. The following is a general description of certain significant risk factors which should be considered:
a) Mining industry and mining projects
Exploration and development projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Mining projects frequently require a number of years and significant expenditures during the mine development phase before production is possible. Development projects are subject to the completion of successful feasibility studies, obtaining the necessary governmental permits and securing necessary financing. The economic feasibility of such development projects is based on many factors such as estimation of reserves, metallurgical recoveries, future metal prices, and capital and operating costs of such projects. Exploration and development of mineral deposits thus involve significant financial risks which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. In fact, a mine must generate sufficient revenues to offset operating

Glen Eagle Resources Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Quarter ended September 30, 2022
1.18 RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES - CONTINUED
and development costs such as the costs required to establish reserves by drilling, to develop metallurgical processes, to construct facilities and to extract and process metals from the ore. Once in production, it is impossible to determine whether current exploration and development programs at any given mine will result in the replacement of current reserves with new reserves. The Corporation is subject to risks and hazards inherent to the mining industry, including fluctuations in metal prices, costs of constructing and operating a mine as well as processing and refining facilities in a specific environment, availability of economic sources of energy and adequacy of water supply, adequate access to the site, unanticipated transportation costs, delays and repair costs resulting from equipment failure, changes in the regulatory environment (including regulations relating to prices, royalties, duties, taxes, restrictions on production, quotas on exportation of minerals, as well as the costs of protection of the environment and agricultural lands), and industrial accidents and labor actions or unrest. The occurrence of any of these factors could materially and adversely affect the development of a project and as a result materially and adversely affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
b) Licence and permits
Should the exploration activities be conducted by the Corporation and be successful, it may not be able to obtain the necessary licenses or permits to conduct or pursue its exploration and mining operations on its properties, and thus would realize no benefit from its exploration activities on its properties. Furthermore, as part of its ore processing activities, the Corporation is required to obtain several permits. Although the Corporation believes it will obtain the required permits, it may face administrative delays in doing so, which could impact its operations.
c) Political and country risk
The principal interest of the Corporation is located in Honduras. The Corporation believes that government of Honduras supports the development of its natural resources by foreign companies. However, there is no assurance that future political and economic conditions in Honduras will not result in the government adopting different policies regarding foreign ownership of mineral resources, taxation, exchanges rates, environmental protection, labor relations, and the repatriation of funds. The possibility that a future government may adopt substantially different policies, which might extend to the expropriation of assets, cannot be ruled out. The Corporation's current and future mineral exploration and mining activities could be impacted by widespread civil unrest and rebellion. Country risk refers to the risk of investing in a country, dependent on changes in the business environment that may adversely affect operating profits or the value of assets in a specific country. For example, financial factors such as currency controls, devaluation or regulatory changes, or stability factors such as mass riots, civil war and other potential events contribute to companies' operational risks. Currently and since its operation began in Honduras, the Corporation has not suffered any of these risks.

Glen Eagle Resources Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Quarter ended September 30, 2022
1.18 RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES - CONTINUED
- d) Supply and quality of feedstock
Since 2015, the Corporation has built a plant in Honduras and has since been purchasing mineralized material from suppliers. It therefore did not base its decision to build on a feasibility analysis of mineral reserves demonstrating the economic and technical viability of the project. Depending on external party for the feed of the plant, the degree of uncertainty is increased, which increases the economic risks of the project.
The Corporation’s operations involve the purchase of mineral ore from local producers which is then converted to supply the production of its plant. The increase in production and revenues of the Corporation will depend on the availability of the mineral ore being supplied by the local producers. To mitigate this risk, the Corporation is increasing the number of suppliers of mineralized material.
As the Corporation does not mine its own ore, it does not have entire control over the ore grade supplied from its suppliers. Also, it does not proceed with a technical report to assess the quality of material brought by suppliers, but rather proceed with internal laboratory analysis of the material brought by ore suppliers.
e) Competition
The Corporation is in competition with other processing companies in Honduras. Although the Corporation has been able in the past, to maintain and even increase its market share and build a good reputation with its suppliers, in that field of operation, there can be no assurance that it will indefinitely retain its position in this market. The Corporation is increasing efforts on the ground to develop the growth of its processing business. The Corporation is also in competition with other mining companies for the acquisition of interests in precious and base metal mining exploration properties. In the pursuit of such acquisition opportunities, the Corporation competes with several Canadian and foreign companies that may have substantially greater financial and other resources. Although the Corporation has acquired many such assets in the past, there can be no assurance that its acquisition efforts will succeed in the future.
f) Dependance on management
The success of the operations and activities of the Corporation is dependent to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of its management team. See "Directors and Officers" for details of the Corporation's current management. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on their discretion and judgment. The Corporation does not maintain key employee insurance on any of its employees. The Corporation depends on key personnel and cannot provide assurance that it will

29
Glen Eagle Resources Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Quarter ended September 30, 2022
1.18 RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES - CONTINUED
be able to retain such personnel. Failure to retain such key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business and financial condition.
g) Regulation and Environmental Requirements
The activities of the Corporation require permits from various governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, environmental protection and other matters. Increased costs and delays may result of the need to comply with applicable laws and regulations. If the Corporation is unable to obtain or renew licenses, approvals and permits, it may be curtailed or prohibited from proceeding with exploration or development activities.
h) Capital Needs
The exploration and evaluation, development, mining and processing of the Corporation’s properties may require substantial additional financing. The only current source of future funds available to the Corporation is the sale of additional equity capital and the borrowings of funds. There is no assurance that such funding will be available to the Corporation or that it will be obtained on terms favourable to the Corporation or will provide the Corporation with sufficient funds to meet its objectives, which may adversely affect the Corporation's business and financial position. In addition, any future equity financings by the Corporation may result in a substantial dilution of the existing shareholders. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in delaying or indefinite postponement of further exploration and evaluation, development, or production on any or all of the Corporation’s properties or even a loss of property interest.
i) Commodity Prices
The market price of the Corporation’s common shares, its financial results and its exploration and evaluation, development and mining activities have previously been, or may in the future be, significantly adversely affected by the volatility in the price of precious or base minerals, including gold, and phosphate.
j) Uninsured Risks
The Corporation’s business is subject to several risks and hazards, including environmental conditions adverse, environmental regulations, political uncertainties, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage to the Corporation’s properties or the properties of others, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Glen Eagle Resources Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Quarter ended September 30, 2022
1.18 RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES - CONTINUED
k) Going Concern
The future of the Corporation depends on its ability to finance its activities and to develop its assets. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in the Corporation not being able to continue its operations, realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business in the foreseeable future.
l) Uncertainty due to COVID-19
The duration and full financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, as are the measures taken by governments, companies and others to attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is therefore subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 may materially and adversely affect the Corporation’s operations, financial results and condition in future periods are also subject to significant uncertainty. Glen Eagle Resources ’s operating counterparties have announced temporary operational restrictions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced activities and operations placed on care and maintenance. In the current environment, the assumptions and judgements made by the Corporation are subject to greater variability than normal, which could in the future significantly affect judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management as they relate to potential impact of the COVID-19 and could lead to a material adjustment to the carrying value of the assets or liabilities affected. The impact of current uncertainty on judgments, estimates and assumptions extends, but is not limited to, the Corporation's valuation of its long-term assets, including the assessment for impairment and impairment reversal. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

None
1.20 QUALIFIED PERSON
Gilles Laverdière P.Geo., is the Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 who has reviewed the scientific and technical information in this document.
1.21 OUTLOOK
The availability of funds is a function of the capital markets. The Corporation is searching for financing in a difficult market, impacted by the COVID-19. It is confident to be able to finance itself and to find new mining properties. The Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional fund. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.
