GMV MINERALS INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 AND 2022

OVERVIEW

GMV Minerals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 18, 2006 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. The Company is in the exploration stage and its principal business activity is the sourcing and exploration of mineral properties.

The Company is in the process of exploring its principal mineral properties in SE Arizona and north central Nevada and has not yet determined whether the properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred exploration costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

The Company incurred a net loss of $784,397 (2022 - $485,128) for the year ended June 30, 2023, and had an accumulated deficit of $26,336,255 (2022 - $25,551,858) which has been funded primarily by the issuance of equity. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain and is dependent upon the generation of profits from mineral properties, obtaining additional financing or maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors. In the event that additional financial support is not received or operating profits are not generated, the carrying values of the Company’s assets may be adversely affected.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Please refer to the June 30, 2023 audited financial statements on www.sedarplus.ca for critical accounting estimates.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT

As of the date of this filing, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company including, without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources that have not previously been discussed.

CORPORATE INTERNAL CONTROL

The Company practices strict internal controls through proper segregation of responsibilities and internal reporting of its personnel. Agreements and commitments that involve cash and/or share capital distribution such as private placements, stock option grant, property, service, and consulting agreements require Board of Directors approval through Directors’ Resolution. The Company’s drilling and exploration programs and budgets are planned and approved by the Company’s President & CEO, the Board of Directors, and geological exploration team. All cash distribution requires the Company’s President & CEO and CFO to approve to ensure that all expenses are accurate and aligned with the Company’s budget. Approved share capital distribution is executed through Treasury Orders that require final approval from the Company’s President & CEO and CFO. These internal control procedures are established and strictly practiced ensuring the Company’s goals and best interest of the shareholders are effectively carried out.

RESOURCE PROPERTIES

Mexican Hat Property

On May 14, 2014, the Company entered into a binding agreement with Norman A. Pearson to secure a 100% interest in a Mining Lease originally dated December 14, 2002. The Company has the exclusive right and privilege to explore and mine for certain material and the right to use the surface of the property as may be required for all purposes related to the prospecting, exploration, development and production of minerals from the property. The property consists of 42 unpatented lode mining claims (Victor lode claims and fractions) and two situated in Cochise County, Arizona, USA. The lease remains in effect for the period that the claims are maintained in good standing.

Under the terms of the agreement the Company is required to make payment as follows:

  • (a) Cash payment of USD$40,000 (paid).

  • (b) Issued 100,000 common share purchase warrants.

On April 27th, 2015, the Company received final regulatory approval on the assignment of two State of Arizona Exploration Permits. These are Permit No. 08-117862 covering an area of approximately 187 hectares located in Section 16; Lots 1,2,3,4,6,7; N2; NESE, T19S, R25E and Permit No. 08-117863 covering an area approximately 197 hectares located in Section 9; SWNE; W2NW; SENW; SW; E2NE; N2SE, T19S, R25E. These sections are located directly adjacent to the Company’s current land holdings in Cochise County, S.E. Arizona. The two exploration licenses are south of the Victor Claims and contain the same Tertiary volcanic rocks and structures that host the mineralization currently being assessed by the Company.

On November 13, 2015, the Company announced that it had acquired a 100% interest in Permit No.’s 08-118167 & 08118106 covering Township 19 South, Range 25 East, (Sections 10 and 3). The two exploration permits are located adjacent to the Victor Claims to the east. The favourable Tertiary volcanic rocks and structures that host the mineralization currently being assessed by the Company are projected onto these licenses.

In March 2017, the Company acquired a 100% interest in six additional exploration permits at the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD). These permits further extend the north and northwest boundaries of its Mexican Hat gold exploration project located in S.E. Arizona. The Company increased its land position by approximately 2,693 acres during the period.

Highlights:

  • The Base Case generates a pre-tax Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 39.3% (after tax 29.3%) and a pre-tax net present value (“NPV”) at a 5% discount rate of $150.6 million (after tax $100.0 million) with a 2.85-year payback of invested capital using a $1,600 per ounce gold price.

  • • Based on price sensitivity analysis at approximately the current price of $1,900 per ounce of gold, the project returns a pre-tax IRR of 58.3% (after tax 44.3%) and a pre-tax NPV at a 5% discount rate of $265.1 million (after tax $182 million) with a payback period of 2.10 years.

  • Base Case mine life of 10 years with total production of 525,000 ounces, averaging 52,500 ounces per year.

  • • Crushed mineralized material will be conveyor stacked at a rate of approximately 10,000 tonnes/day on a conventional heap leach pad.

  • • Capex: $67.8M (including $12.2M contingency). • Opex: Low LOM Strip Ratio of 1.87. • Estimated cash cost of production is $951 per ounce with an all-in-sustaining cost of $1,136 per ounce inclusive of sustaining capital and additional overhead support.

  • • Engineering design analysis indicates the potential to increase pit size and contained ounces with increased gold prices.

The Report was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). The technical report, entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment, Mexican Hat Project”, was prepared for GMV Minerals Inc. by Samuel Engineering, with the assistance of Tetra-Tech Canada Inc., DRW Geological Consultants Ltd., Mine Development Associates, a division of RESPEC., Tierra Group International, Ltd., and Golder Associates Inc. The technical report is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR and will also be available on the company’s website. Next Steps:

The Mexican Hat Project’s PEA economics justifies continued investment for further development. The forward-looking plan for Mexican Hat includes work required to advance the project through Feasibility Study and into the permitting process. These tasks include:

  • Approximately 7,000 meters of in-fill drilling to increase confidence in the current geological understanding and mineral resource estimation to a level sufficient to support mineral reserve development

  • Performing a trade-off study for self-mining and crushing versus contract mining and crushing

  • Geotechnical drilling and analysis to optimize pit slope design parameters

  • Continue base-line water sampling, and update of hydrologic, cultural, and environmental studies for permitting

PEA Information and Cautionary Note Regarding Inferred Resources

The mine plan evaluated in the PEA is preliminary in nature and inclusive of Inferred Mineral Resources, as defined by NI 43-101, that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be converted to a Mineral Reserve. Additional drilling and technical studies will need to be completed in order to fully assess its viability. There is no certainty that a production decision will be made to develop the Mexican Hat or that the economic results described in the PEA will be realized. Mine design and mining schedules, metallurgical flow sheets, and process plant designs will require additional detailed work and economic analysis and internal studies to ensure satisfactory operational conditions and decisions regarding future targeted production.

Daisy Creek Lithium Project

COMMITMENTS

The Company has agreements with certain members of senior management. In the event that there is a change of control as defined by the agreements, the Corporation is committed to pay severance payments totaling $252,000.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

(a) Financial Instruments

As at June 30, 2023, the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, due to/from related parties, and accounts payable. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.

  • (b) Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial instruments are categorized in a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, due to/from related parties, and accounts payable.

The fair values of cash and marketable securities are determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. As at June 30, 2023, the Company believes that the carrying values of accounts payable approximate their fair values because of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.

  • (c) Financial Risks

  • (i) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments which are potentially subject to credit risk for the Company consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company has gross credit exposure at June 30, 2023 relating to cash and cash equivalents of $1,129,794. The cash and cash equivalents are held at a Canadian chartered bank and the Company considers the credit risk to be minimal.

(ii) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise the required capital through future equity or debt issuances but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on a timely basis under terms acceptable to the Company. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. As at June 30, 2023, the Company has cash and cash equivalents balance of $1,129,794 to settle its short-term liabilities of $194,262.

(iii) Interest Rate Risk

The Company has cash balances and term deposits with interest based on the prime rate. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institution. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.

  • (iv) Foreign Currency Risk

9

GMV MINERALS INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 AND 2022

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, accounts payable, and commitments that are denominated in a foreign currency. As at June 30, 2023, a 10% fluctuation in the foreign exchange rate of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar would affect the Company’s cash, account payable, and commitments by approximately $2,000.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of lithium. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of actions to be taken.

During the year ended June 30, 2023, there were no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 classified assets and liabilities.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as market prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates. In management’s opinion, the Company is not exposed to significant market risk.

Risks and Uncertainties

Exploration and Development

Exploration for minerals or precious gems is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. There is no certainty that the expenditures made by the Company will result in discoveries of commercial metal reserves.

Mining and development risk always accompany anticipated rewards, and uncertainties always exist where mineral properties are concerned. Uncertainties include the size, grade and recovery of a natural occurring mineral deposit. Although exploration and development efforts can outline a mineral deposit with a degree of certainty, ultimate grade and tonnages are never fully known until mining has been completed.

Metal and prices are also a significant factor in the development decision for a mineral property, as a mine may not be economically feasible in a period of depressed prices. Factors, beyond the control of the Company, may affect the marketability of any minerals discovered. Pricing is affected by numerous factors such as international economic and political trends, global or regional consumption and demand patterns, and increased production by current producers.

Title Risks

Although the Company has exercised the usual due diligence with respect to determining title to properties in which it has a material interest, there is no guarantee that title to such properties will not be challenged or impugned.

Price Volatility of Public Stock

In recent years, securities markets have experienced extremes in price and volume volatility. The market price of securities of many early-stage companies, among others, have experienced fluctuations in price which may not necessarily be related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. It may be anticipated that any market for the Company’s shares will be subject to market trends generally and the value of the Company’s shares may be affected by such volatility.

Economic Conditions

Unfavourable economic conditions may negatively impact the Company’s financial viability as a result of increased financing costs and limited access to capital markets.

Dependence on Management

The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management’s services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate GMV Minerals Inc.
