an obligation to issue shares totaling $20,000,000 related to future milestone payments. Following a final milestone payment in May 2025, the Company has completed all required payments under the purchase agreement for the acquisition of its 100% interest in the Moss Gold Project and this liability was extinguished. On May 30, 2025, the Company issued 12,500,000 (December 31, 2023 – 8,333,333) common shares with a deemed value of $7,500,000 (December 31, 2023 – $7,500,000) to Wesdome.

During the first nine months of 2025, in addition to progressing the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") with G Mining Services ("G Mining"), the Company focused on completing two technical programs outlined in a press release dated October 10, 2024.

The 15,000-meter diamond drilling program, which focused on testing mineralized shears in the upper and marginal parts of the deposit that are otherwise difficult to drill without winter conditions, commenced in December 2024. This was extended by 5,000 meters during the second quarter of 2025 to a 20,000-meter program (announced on April 9, 2025) following the receipt of positive drilling results and indications that parts of the deposit, such as the current Southwest Zone Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and between the Southwest and Main Zones, can be expanded. The final drill program was completed on May 9, 2025, with 21,329 meters drilled in 67 holes.

The Company reported first quarter drill results in four news releases covering 16 drill holes (5,206.60 meters). Drilling results highlighted included:

  • Additional and higher-grade marginal and core shears in the upper and lateral parts of the Southwest Zone, which will have a positive impact on the Project as it will allow the modelling of mineralized shears in the place of waste. Better drill intercepts include:
  • 79.0m of 1.28 g/t Au from 27.0m, including 32.3m of 1.73 g/t Au and 22.0m of 1.19 g/t Au in MMD-24-133 (January 17, 2025)
  • 8.0m of 2.53 g/t Au from 125m in MMD-25-142 and 25.89m of 1.15 g/t Au from 84.91m in MMD-25-147 (March 20, 2025)
  • The intersection of high-grade mineralized shears 150 meters beneath the open pit constrained mineral resource, which suggests potential to expand the size of the Southwest pit. Improved drill intercepts include:
  • 20.55m of 2.58 g/t Au from 458.15m including 14.7m of 3.52 g/t Au in MMD-25-139 and 15.0m of 1.68 g/t Au from 456m in MMD-25-140 (February 20, 2025).
  • Initial results from the Superior prospect, which discovered a new gold-mineralized shear approximately 60m from the surface and 225m north of the QES Zone. The discovery highlights the potential for additional shears in and near the proposed open pit that is currently modelled as waste. The intercepts included:
  • 17.6m of 3.03 g/t Au from 76.4m including 6.8m of 7.06 g/t Au in with MQD-25-148 (March 3, 2025).

Drilling results received during the second quarter of 2025 were reported in five news releases covering 29 drill holes (7,910.70 meters). Results showed:

  • Six holes were drilled from ice platforms on the shallow Snodgrass Lake in a program that was terminated early because of unseasonably warm weather. Results from the final two holes were not received until the third quarter. Four holes targeted the gap between the Main and Southwest Zones and intersected new high-grade mineralized shears representing a combined true width mineralized corridor of 75m connecting the two zones, including 12.9m of 2.64 g/t Au from 243.4m including 4.4m of 6.59 g/t Au in MMD-25-165 (April 15, 2025).
  • Eleven short holes successfully intersected the near surface extensions of deeper marginal shears along the northern edge of the QES Zone at QES Up. These results will allow the modelling of narrow, low- to medium-grade shears in a near surface zone that is currently modeled as waste. The best intercepts included:

13.55m of 0.59 g/t Au from 88.5m including 2.1m of 1.17 g/t Au in MQD-25-156 (April 22, 2025); and
25.0m of 1.10 g/t Au from 107.2m including 2.05m of 1.69 g/t Au and 7.65m of 2.62 g/t Au in MQD-25-160 (May 1, 2025).

  • Five drill holes were extended to infill significant drilling gaps in the QES Zone and intersected wide intervals of gold-mineralized core shears, including the highest-grade x thickness intersection ever reported on the project. These results confirmed the presence of shallow-plunging, higher-grade gold mineralization within the core shears and demonstrate the potential to discover additional plunging shoots. In addition, the results from MQD-25-171 exceeded the grade expectations based on the current MRE. The better intercepts included:

  • 124.35m of 1.65 g/t Au from 295.0m including 7.55m of 1.97 g/t Au and 47.0m of 3.08 g/t Au in MQD-25-171 (April 22, 2025); and

  • 17.7m of 1.52 g/t Au from 333.0m and 6.85m of 3.01 g/t Au from 436.0m in MQD-25-179 and 18.4m of 1.36 g/t Au from 285.6m in MQD-25-180 (June 11, 2025).

  • Sixteen holes were drilled to follow-up potential strike extensions of the high-shears discovered at Superion in hole MMD-24-148. These holes returned several results that add to the strike length of the main shear, and discovered additional parallel shears, including:

  • 9.45m of 6.02 g/t Au from 186.0m including 2.45m of 22.2 g/t Au in MQD-25-175 and 13.0m of 2.30 g/t Au from 117.0m including 3.0m of 9.00 g/t Au in MQD-25-176 (May 15, 2025); and

  • 17.7m of 1.52 g/t Au from 333.0m, including 2.3m of 8.24 g/t Au, and 6.85m of 3.01 g/t Au from 436.0m in MQD-25-179 and 18.4m of 1.36 g/t Au from 285.6m 0m in MQD-25-180 (June 11, 2025).

The results of the final 22 drill holes (8,211.40 meters) were received in July and August and reported in four news releases. These results confirmed the expansion of marginal shears beneath and beside the Southwest pit, including joining the Main and Southwest Zones beneath the shallow Snodgrass Lake, and confirmed high-grade core shears and lower-grade marginal shears within and on the southern flank of the Main Zone.

Drilling results received during the third quarter of 2025 were reported in seven news releases covering 69 drill holes (16,020.5m meters). Results showed:

  • On July 3rd, the Company announced, results from three drill holes (1,197.1m), which infilled significant drilling gaps in the QES Zone, intersected multiple wide intervals of gold-mineralized shear zones. The results confirmed the splaying of the QES zone into multiple shears on the eastern edge of the QES Zone with best intercepts of:

  • 42.7m of 1.09 g/t Au from 241.6m in MQD-25-155, including

  • 20.0m of 1.77 g/t Au from 246.0m, and
  • 2.3m of 1.98 g/t Au from 282.0m, and
  • 46.05m of 0.60 g/t Au from 290.0m, including
  • 8.0m of 1.46 g/t Au from 309.0m
  • 31.9m of 0.95 g/t Au from 231.2m in MQD-25-157, including
  • 15.1m of 1.53 g/t Au from 233.4m, and
  • 47.4m of 0.58 g/t Au from 271.6m, including
  • 5.4m of 1.44 g/t Au from 272.0m, and
  • 3.9m of 1.05 g/t Au from 310.3m

  • 22.0m of 1.30g/t Au from 533m in MMD-25-191, including
  • 3.9m of 3.48 g/t Au from 541.1m

  • All seven drill holes intersected multiple parallel shear zones that confirmed the continuity of the shear zone system both laterally and at depth and demonstrate the potential to add to ounces to the existing mineral resource estimate.

  • On August 8th, the Company announced, six drill holes (1,884.1m) were completed to infill a data gap beneath a saddle in the conceptual open pit between the Main and Southwest Zones, an area that was previously untested and had mineralized shears extended from the neighboring areas. Drilling intersected medium-grade marginal shears that confirm the continuity of mineralized shears through this volume with best intercepts of:

  • 2.75m of 3.08 g/t Au from 119.25m in MMD-25-184
  • 20m of 0.92 g/t Au from 154m in MMD-25-186, including

The Company also conducted a district exploration program over the 2024/2025 winter season designed to identify geophysical and geochemical targets beneath glacial till and muskeg swamp cover in known gold bearing structural corridors. This included the completion of 106 shallow drill holes out of a planned 200 holes that sampled the top of bedrock. The program was challenged and terminated early by warmer temperatures that did not completely freeze areas of muskeg, making them unsafe to drill. Approximately half of the remaining planned holes are accessible in non-winter conditions and may be completed at a later date in 2025.

Abitibi Geophysics completed pole-dipole Induced Polarization ("IP") geophysics over the Moss Gold Deposit in January of 2025. This work was conducted to understand the character of the Moss Gold deposit so that other anomalies can be brought into the correct context of our target style. The team then conducted a broad gradient array IP survey over the larger Moss Block, which was completed by mid-May 2025. These data are being combined with historical geophysical data and processed to produced 3D inversion models that are currently under review.

  • On October 16, the Company announced, systematic bedrock geochemistry sampling and Moss-style geophysical fingerprints have identified several prospects in the Deaty Trend that comprise a 5-kilometer-long zone of gold anomalous within four primary targets.

In 2024, G Mining completed an initial scoping study of the project aimed at identifying the most economic mining and milling scale for the Moss Gold Project. Cost estimates were based on real construction and operating costs from the recently built Greenstone Gold Mine owned by Equinox Gold. This work also included an evaluation of all available metallurgical test work to identify the optimum extraction process for gold mineralization. G Mining concluded that the optimum project involves the milling of 11 million tonnes ore per year, with gold grades improved via a stockpiling strategy, and processed through a flotation and cyanide leach circuit.

At the same time, G Mining completed a detailed three-phase mining schedule and identified optimum locations for waste dumps and a tailings management facility. The Company shared a number of infrastructure site options with the host indigenous communities as part of an ongoing process of keeping the communities informed. This will help focus environmental baseline studies, including Stage 2 Archaeology studies, over the summer.

During the first quarter of 2025, G Mining noted excessive dilution in converting APEX Geoscience's resource model to the mining model used for the production schedule. This is, in part, a function of zero grade assigned to the inter-shear wallrock model because of historical detection limit concerns and the resulting fixed lower cut-off grade of 0.35 g/t Au. They have recommended a re-estimate of the resource model that includes a consideration of wall rock grades to address excessive dilution concerns. Given the successful results of the winter diamond drilling program, the Company believes there is an opportunity to improve the MRE by potentially expanding the resource at the Southwest Zone.

As part of this initiative, and in addition to the winter drill program, the Company has undertaken a program to relog, photograph and resample 15,972 meters of historical drill core that currently has a high detection limit equivalent to 0.34 g/t Au, which will allow the estimation of a Code-compliant wall rock resource model. Unfortunately, the balance of the planned 22,000 meters of historical core was not recoverable. Throughout the quarter, the Company's geologists have been working with G Mining to improve the 3D modelling of shear zones, host lithology and post-mineralization structures, which will be incorporated in an update to the MRE for the PEA. The Company is now targeting a PEA release during the fourth quarter of 2025 to incorporate the updated MRE.

During 2024 and to date in 2025, CSL Environmental and Geotechnical continued environmental baseline studies focused on surface water hydrology and commenced the drilling of water bores in the proposed pit area, along with packer testing and nested water well pairs, of which three were completed to date. Clearview Geophysics completed a seismic geophysics survey over the proposed pit area to assist in the development of a model of the glacial till overburden covering the deposit.

On May 8, 2025, the Company signed an Impact Benefit Agreement ("IBA") term sheet with the Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation. The IBA term sheet sets out the key terms that will guide the negotiation of a future IBA between the Company and Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

The Company adheres to Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Best Practices Guidelines for exploration related activities conducted on all of its properties. Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QA/QC") procedures are overseen by the qualified person ("QP").

Gold X2 QA/QC protocols are maintained through the insertion of certified reference material (standards), blanks and field duplicates within the sample stream. Drill core is cut in-half with a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed bags and shipped to the laboratory and the other half retained on site. Third party laboratory checks on 5% of the samples are carried out as well. Chain of custody is maintained from the drill to the submittal into the laboratory preparation facility.

Analytical testing was performed by ALS Canada Ltd. in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The entire sample is crushed to 70% minus 2 mm (10 mesh), of which a 1,000-gram riffle split is pulverized to 85% minus 75 microns (200 mesh) (PREP-31B). Multi-element analyses were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for 48 elements following a 4-acid digestion process (ME-MS61). High

Other Projects

Vanguard Project

On July 7, 2022, the Company executed an option agreement with Thunder Gold Corp. ("Thunder Gold") to earn into certain mining claims held by Thunder Gold in the Shebandowan greenstone belt (the "Vanguard Project"). The expenditure commitments in the option agreement were subsequently amended in May 2024. On July 30, 2025, the Company announced it had further amended the option agreement with Thunder Gold to revise the required remaining expenditures on the Vanguard Project to $4,989,000 with no prescribed deadline at the sole discretion of the Company. As of the date of this MD&A, all other commitments related to the option agreement have been completed.

The work performed at the Vanguard Project to date consisted of airborne geophysics, mapping, and data compilation. Simcoe Geophysics completed a limited ground gravity survey over selected conductors during the year ended December 31, 2024. This work was conducted to help discriminate sulphide and graphite sources for the conductivity anomalies. The Company's focus remains on the Moss Gold Project with very limited work completed at the Vanguard Project during 2024 or to date in 2025.

Hillcrest Project

On May 8, 2023, the Company staked 390 cell claims covering 8,261 hectares which comprise the Hillcrest Project for $19,500. The Hillcrest Project represents a greenfield approach to gold exploration and is part of a strategy to build a multi-year pipeline of gold projects in the Thunder Bay area.

During the first quarter of 2025, a remote study was completed by Terrane Geoscience targeting signatures identified by Gold X2 as important for gold mineralization. This work was completed after the renewal date and so the Company let its claims lapse. In the second quarter, the Company staked 381 cell claims covering 7,989 hectares over the primary targets along the Crayfish Fault at a cost of $19,050. The Company also staked 192 cell claims covering 4,026 hectares at a cost of $9,700 along the Greenwater Fault to the south of Moss to facilitate exploration of an untested crustal-scale structure.

The Company's current focus remains on the Moss Gold Project, and no further field work was completed at the Hillcrest Project during 2024 or to date in 2025.

Coldstream Property

On October 28, 2025, the Company entered into a property purchase agreement with an arms length party (the "Vendor") pursuant to which Gold X2 will acquire from the Vendor all of the rights, title and interests in and to the mineral exploration property known as the Coldstream Claims located in the Province of Ontario.

The proposed acquisition will add 939 hectares, further consolidating Gold X2's land position and enhancing exploration potential across the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt.

In consideration of the Coldstream Claims, the Company paid the Vendor an initial cash payment of $200,000, and on or before the date that is 12 months from the effective date, the Company will pay the Vendor a final cash payment of $200,000. Commencing from the execution of the purchase agreement until completion of the Transaction, the Company will act as the operator of the Coldstream Claims.

Upon completion of the transaction the Company will grant the Vendor a 2% net smelter returns royalty (the "NSR Royalty") with respect the Coldstream Claims. The Company will have the right to re-purchase from the Vendor 1% of the NSR Royalty for $500,000 within 30 days of commercial production.

Huronian Gold Project

On September 30, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Kesselrun Resources Ltd. ("Kesselrun"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Kesselrun. The acquisition provides the Company with a 100% interest in the Huronian Gold Project, located adjacent to the Company's Moss Gold Project in Northern Ontario. The transaction closed on November 28, 2025. Under the terms of the arrangement, each Kesselrun shareholder received $0.02 in cash and 0.2152 of a Gold X2 common share, representing approximately 4.13% of the Company's outstanding shares on a post-transaction basis. As part of the transaction, Gold X2 also assumed $2.0 million of Kesselrun's outstanding debt and provided a $0.5 million interest-free bridge loan prior to closing. The Company believes the acquisition enhances the regional scale and strategic potential of its Northern Ontario gold assets through consolidation of complementary land positions.

The Huronian Gold Project is in the Thunder Bay Mining District in northwestern Ontario, approximately 105 km west of the City of Thunder Bay, and is directly west, and adjacent, to Gold X2's Moss Gold Project. The Huronian Gold Project is defined by 293 contiguous mineral claims (4,777.0 ha) and four mining patents (404.3 ha). The mineral claim types include both single cell and boundary cell claims. Most of the claims (279 claims or 95%) occur within the Moss Township. The remaining claims extend southward into the northernmost Powell Lake or Nelson Lake areas. The mining patents occur in the central and northern portions of the Huronian Gold Project. The two central patents were granted in 1858 and include mining and surface rights that encompass the area surrounding the historic and past-producing Ardeen Mine.

Kesselrun obtained an early exploration permit for the Huronian Gold Project on August 13, 2025, covering Moss Township and surrounding areas. The permit is on the Winnipeg River watershed and is effective for a period of three years. As exploration activities progress, Gold X2 will apply for additional permits (e.g., a permit to take water and road maintenance permit) for the Huronian Gold Project as required and in association with the host Indigenous communities.

On October 23, 2025, the Company has filed a technical report prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101—Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (the "Technical Report") on the high-grade Huronian Gold Project, a past-producing mine strategically located adjacent to Gold X2's flagship Moss Gold Project in northwestern Ontario. The Technical Report was prepared by Michael B. Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geo., and D. Roy Eccles, M.Sc., P.Geo., P.Geo., both independent Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101. Information of a scientific or technical nature in respect of the Huronian Gold Project in this News Release is derived from the Technical Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 2025

The Company recognized an income before income taxes of $656,608 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $1,293,026 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This improvement was primarily due to an increase in the recovery of flow-through premium to $2,323,549 during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $113,022 in the same period last year, as a result of higher flow-through eligible expenditures on Moss Gold Project exploration activities in the current period. The higher recovery of flow-through premium was partially offset by the following variances:

  • Shareholder information and investor relations expenses decreased by $186,153 to $437,166 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $623,319 in the same period in 2024. The decrease reflects a reduction in investor relations activities during the current quarter, including fewer marketing campaigns, lower promotional spending, and reduced engagement of third-party IR service providers compared to the prior year.
  • Consulting fees increased by $443,324 to $609,399 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $166,075 in the same period last year. The Company incurred higher management, corporate development and investor relations consulting fees during the third quarter of 2025 as a result of the overall increased level of activity within the business.

  • Professional fees increased by $219,217 to $286,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $67,129 in the same period last year, primarily as a result of higher legal fees related to increased corporate activity in the current period.

The Company reported a comprehensive loss of $1,856,392 during the three months ended September 30, 2025, period compared to $1,516,026 in the same period last year. The increase related to a higher in deferred tax expense of $2,513,000 during the current period as a result of incurring required expenditures related to our previous flow-through common share issuances to finance the Moss Gold Project exploration program.

Nine months ended September 30, 2025

The Company recognized a loss before income taxes of $166,320 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2,697,463 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The lower net loss before taxes was primarily due to an increase in the recovery of flow-through premium to $5,320,595 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $219,503 in the same period last year, as a result of higher flow-through eligible expenditures relating to the Moss Gold Project exploration activities to date in 2025. The higher recovery of flow-through premium was partially offset by the following variances:

  • Stock-based compensation increased by $624,896 to $1,933,346 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1,308,450 in the same period last year, primarily due to increased restricted share units ("RSUs") vesting during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 with higher grant date fair values as a result of the increase in the Company's share price over the same period.
  • Shareholder information and investor relations increased by $369,753 to $1,095,378 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $725,625 in the same period last year, primarily as a result of an ongoing marketing and investor outreach campaign focused on increasing investor awareness that began during the second half of 2024.
  • Consulting fees increased by $977,037 to $1,352,814 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $375,777 in the same period last year. The Company incurred higher management, corporate development and investor relations consulting fees during the period of 2025 as a result of the overall increased level of activity within the business.
  • Professional fees increased by $496,747 to $671,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $175,208 in the same period last year, as a result of higher legal fees related to increased corporate activity.

The Company reported a comprehensive loss of $5,564,320 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 period compared to $3,103,463 in the same period last year. The increase related to a higher in deferred tax expense of $5,398,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of incurring required expenditures related to our previous flow-through common share issuances to finance the Moss Gold Project exploration program. The deferred tax expense resulted in a corresponding increase to the Company's deferred tax liability. The Company expects to meet its remaining obligations to $15,127,274 on eligible exploration expenditures by December 31, 2026.

The following is a summary of the Company's results for the eight most recently completed quarters:

The main drivers for the fluctuations in loss and comprehensive loss during the periods presented related to the following:

  • Stock-based compensation expense increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of additional RSUs and stock options vesting over the period with higher valuations due to the Company's increased share price.
  • Shareholder information and investor relations expenditures increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to an ongoing marketing and investor outreach campaign focused on increasing investor awareness that commenced during the second half of 2024.
  • Expenses were reduced across all cost categories during the three months ended December 31, 2023, driven by the Company's efforts to reduce overhead costs, which persisted into early 2024. The loss during December 31, 2023 was further impacted by a deferred income tax recovery of $380,000 in the quarter related to the issuance of shares to Wesdome pursuant to the Moss Gold Transaction.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Gold X2 currently has no operations that generate cash flows. The Company's future financial success will depend on the discovery and development of one or more economic mineral deposits. This process can take years, can consume significant resources and is largely based on factors that are beyond the control of the Company's management. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. The business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that management's plans will be successful. The Company currently is not generating any revenue. Whether and when the Company can obtain profitability and positive cash flows from its operations is uncertain. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's Financial Statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

As at September 30, 2025, the Company's current assets exceeded its current liabilities by $20,130,893 (December 31, 2024 – $11,081,605). Current liabilities include a flow-through share premium liability of $2,407,765 (December 31, 2024 – $3,561,195) which is not repayable in cash. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $32,533,168 at September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 – $27,931,500).

Base Shelf Prospectus

month period. The base shelf prospectus was filed to provide the Company with the flexibility to take advantage of financing opportunities from time to time and as market conditions dictate. The terms of such future offerings, if any, will be established at the time of such offerings. At the time any of the securities covered by the base shelf prospectus are offered for sale, a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of any such offering will be filed with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

Operating Activities

Net cash used by the Company in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $3,752,982 compared to $1,525,005 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company had a loss of $5,564,320 (September 30, 2024 - $3,103,463).

The increase in cash used in operating activities was most significantly impacted by the higher loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of an increased activity levels, partially offset by the higher recovery of flow-through share premium as a result of higher flow-through eligible expenditures relating to exploration and evaluation activities in the current period.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The critical judgments and estimates that management has made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Financial Statements are as follows:

Going concern

The assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures and meet its liabilities for the ensuing year involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The carrying value and the recoverability of long-lived assets, including exploration and evaluation assets, are evaluated at each reporting date. Management assesses for indicators of impairment, which includes assessing whether facts or circumstances exist that suggest the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, specifically whether the Company expects to continue with further exploration expenditure on the project, and that the period for which the Company has the right to explore has not and will not expire.

Valuation of stock-based compensation and compensation options

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the valuation of stock-based compensation and compensation options. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate, forfeiture rate, risk-free market interest rate, expected volatility in the price of the underlying stock and expected life of the instruments. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company's earnings and equity reserves.

Flow-through premium liability

Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements, flow-through shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resources expenditures to investors. On issuance, the Company bifurcates the flow-through shares into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability, and ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability on a pro-rata basis and recognizes a deferred tax recovery for the amount of tax reduction renounced to the shareholders.

Valuation of other liabilities

The Company measures other liabilities at amortized cost using the discounted value of future monthly payments to estimate the present value of the obligation. After initial recognition, the liability is carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method and is not revalued each quarter.

Income taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and other income tax deductions only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and other income tax deductions can be utilized. In assessing the probability of realizing the income tax benefits of deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and other income tax deductions, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. The likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities is assessed based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position evaluated in light of all available evidence.

Gold X2 Mining Inc. (formerly Goldshore Resources Inc)

Management's Discussion and Analysis

GOLDXe

As at September 30, 2025, the Company has not recognized any deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences. Changes in any of the above-mentioned estimates can materially affect the amount of income tax assets recognized. In addition, where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to varying interpretations, changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at the end of each reporting period.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and lease liabilities, all of which are measured at amortized cost. Amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities include amounts due from and due to related parties. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company's risk exposures arising from financial instruments and the impact on the Company's Financial Statements are summarized below:

The Company's risk exposures arising from financial instruments and the impact on the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. As at September 30, 2025, the Company was exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and other receivables. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held with high credit quality financial institutions in Canada and as at September 30, 2025, management considers its exposure to credit risk to be low. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of its cash and cash equivalents and other receivables.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company has aimed to manage liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and managing its capital and expenditures. At September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $25,701,364 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3,935,455 with contractual maturities of less than one year. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to raise financing until such time that the Company is profitable. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and investing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments. At September 30, 2025, the Company assessed its liquidity risk as moderate.

Market risk

The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. The Company is not exposed to significant currency risk, interest rate risk or other price risk. There have been no changes to the Company's market risk exposure since December 31, 2024.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is in the mineral exploration and development business and as such is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties that are not uncommon to other similar companies in a comparable stage of development. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described in this MD&A and refer to risk factors disclosed in the Company's annual MD&A and annual information form ("AIF") dated April 28, 2025 and available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) before making an investment decision.
