Management Discussion and Analysis
For
Golden Goliath Resources Ltd.
Year ending August 31, 2025
General
The following management discussion and analysis has been prepared as of December 24, 2025. The selected financial information set out below and certain comments which follow are based on and derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Golden Goliath Resources Ltd. (the "Company" or "Golden Goliath") for the year ending August 31, 2025 and should be read in conjunction with them.
Golden Goliath is a Canadian listed public company with its shares traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "GNG" as a Tier 2 company.
Golden Goliath is a junior exploration company with no revenues from mineral producing operations. The Company's properties are located in Ontario and Quebec, Canada. Activities include acquiring mineral properties and conducting exploration programs. The mineral exploration business is risky and most exploration projects will not become mines. The Company may offer to a major mining company the opportunity to acquire an interest in a property in return for funding by the major mining company, of all or part of the exploration and development of the property. For the funding of property acquisitions and exploration that the Company conducts, the Company does not use long term debt. Rather, it depends on the issue of shares from the treasury to investors. Such stock issues in turn depend on numerous factors, important among which are a positive mineral exploration climate, positive stock market conditions, a company's track record and the experience of management.
Overall Performance
During the fiscal year ending August 31, 2025, the Company spent most of its efforts to finance exploration for its Canadian properties, primarily its Wish Ore property. Markets were tough during most of the year.
On July 4, 2025, the Company announced a new CEO, Mr. Maki Petkovski. Mr. Petkovski is a seasoned geologist and senior executive with over 35 years of international experience in the resource industry, having held key leadership, managerial and senior technical roles across the Australasian and Middle East North African regions. He began his career in the gold sector with Central Norseman Gold Corporation in Western Australia and has since developed extensive expertise in geology, geophysics and executive management.
In September 2025, the Company announced that it has entered into a Services Agreement with Petko Resources Pty. Ltd. ("Petko"). The agreement provides that Petko will seek gold exploration and/or production opportunities for the Company in the south-eastern desert of Upper Egypt on an exclusive basis. Petko shall maintain an office in Egypt for use by the Company and shall have technical, administrative and government relations teams to facilitate due diligence and negotiation on behalf of the Company. Petko shall be paid $50,000 per month and a finder's fee for any acquisition. The Agreement may be terminated upon 30 days notice. The Agreement is considered a related-party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101, as the Company's CEO, Maki Petkovski, is a director, officer and control person of Petko. The Agreement is exempt from the need to obtain minority shareholder approval and a formal valuation as required by and under applicable provisions of MI 61-101.
Subsequent to year end, the Company closed a private placement. The financing was comprised of 23,920,857 units issued at a price of $0.05 for gross proceeds of $1,196,042. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of 12 months at a price of $0.08. All securities issued under this private placement will be subject to a hold period for four months and a day in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Company paid a finders' fee to Clarence Financial Pty Ltd. of $46,552 cash and 931,042 warrants having the same terms as the warrants under the Units.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Impairment
Assets, especially exploration and evaluation assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts exceed their recoverable amounts. The
assessment of the carrying amount often requires estimates and assumptions such as discount rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, and future operating performance.
Decommissioning liabilities
Judgment is required to determine if there are legal or constructive obligations to incur restoration, rehabilitation, and environmental costs when there is an environmental disturbance caused by exploration, development, or ongoing production of an exploration and evaluation asset. When it is determined that an obligation exists, a provision is recognized. The provision for decommissioning liabilities depends on estimates of current risk-free interest rates, future restoration and reclamation expenditures, and the timing of those expenditures.
Changes in Accounting Policy
There were no changes in accounting policy in the past quarter.

The Company has not entered into any specialized financial agreements to minimize its investment risk, currency risk or commodity risk.
