DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)

The following information regarding the Property has been summarized from a technical report entitled “Technical Report on the Copper Canyon Property, Nicole Mining Division, British Columbia, prepared for Goldblock Capital Inc., dated effective January 31, 2019, and prepared by D. Cullen, P. Geo., and J. Garry Clark, P.Geo., (collectively, the “author”). Messrs. Cullen and Clark are independent Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101. The Technical Report has been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and is available for inspection at the head office of the Company during normal business hours. The full Technical Report will also be made available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

The Copper Canyon Property consists of 7 claims totaling 2,853.6 hectares. The claims are owned by Seven Devils Exploration Ltd, and Multiple Metals Resources Ltd. (the “Optionors”, both of Vancouver, B.C., each of which own 50% of the Property), and have been optioned to the Company under an Option Agreement dated April 25, 2018.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company has the right to earn a 100% interest in the Property, subject to a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty (the “NSR”) to be retained by the Optionors, by making staged payments totaling $192,500 over three years and completing exploration expenditures totaling $450,000 over four years from the date of the Option Agreement. The Company has the right to purchase 0.5% of the NSR from the Optionors for $1,000,000.

No permitting is required for the early stage of exploration work that is proposed. From the proposed program, if successful, the Company would identify drill targets and a Notice of Work (NOW) would be applied for.

On April 25, 2018, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Copper Canyon Property, located in the Nicola Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada, for the following consideration:

Date Optionpayments Exploration expenditures
April 25, 2018 Payment of $22,500 (paid) N/A
April 25, 2019 N/A N/A
April 25, 2020 Payment of an additional $20,000 (paid) Incurred $100,000
April 25, 2021 Payment of an additional $150,000 Incur an additional $100,000
($75,000 paid on November 2020)
April 25, 2022 N/A Incur an additional $250,000

Exploration expenditures in excess of the minimum amount in any period will be applied towards the next period’s minimum required amount.

The vendors will retain a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”). The Company has the option to purchase 0.5% of the NSR for $1,000,000.

A preliminary exploration work program was conducted on Copper Canyon from June 12 to June 26, 2019; as summarized:

312 soil samples (using a soil auger) and 76 prospector rock samples were collected to test the presence of precious and base metal mineralization. Approximately 11km of Magnetometer-VLF survey were conducted in the north of the claims. 30 soil samples were from 2 lines starting at MGT and east to the claim boundary. A small grid was established along the southern boundary, consisting of four lines, then soil sampled. A 3[rd] soil sampling grid was completed over part of the VLF-EM/ Magnetometer survey that was conducted in the north of the claims.

GOLDBLOCK CAPITAL INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FEBRUARY 28, 2021

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)

67 rock samples were collected from all over the claims with the exception of the westernmost reaches, and particularly the NW because of a lack of access. The southern boundary was prospected very closely from one side to the other, including using a drone to locate smaller patches of rocks that were not seen by prospectors.

The results from the soil sampling had peak values for Au of 82 ppb, for Ag 8.4 ppm, and Cu 810 ppm. The silver and copper peaks are significantly high and skew the percentiles for those metals slightly. At the 85% percentile the anomaly thresholds are 9.3 ppb Au, 1.4 ppm Ag, 46 ppm Cu, 15 ppb Pb, 117 ppb Zn and 8 ppb As. These are in line for the area, except for Ag and Cu, which are higher than normal for the area. Using the 85% percentile (or even 90% percentile) there are significant broad and narrow anomalies.

Of the 67 rock samples collected, the best gold assay was 12 ppb in the area of the MGT Showing, and this sample also ran 1.22% Cu. The rest were at or below the detection limit of 5 ppb gold.

The following are details of the Company’s exploration and evaluation asset:

Title Risks

Although the Company has exercised due diligence with respect to determining title to the properties in which it has a material interest, there is no guarantee that title to such properties will not be challenged or impugned. Third parties may have valid claims underlying portions of the Company’s interests, and the permits or tenures may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects. If a title defect exists, it is possible that the Company may lose all or part of its interest in the properties to which such defects relate.

GOLDBLOCK CAPITAL INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FEBRUARY 28, 2021

COMMITMENTS (continued)

Exploration and Development

Resource exploration and development is a highly speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. Substantial expenses are required to establish reserves by drilling, sampling and other techniques and to design and construct mining and processing facilities. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including the particular attributes of the deposit (i.e. size, grade, access and proximity to infrastructure), financing costs, the cyclical nature of commodity prices and government regulations (including those relating to prices, taxes, currency controls, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection). The effect of these factors or a combination thereof cannot be accurately predicted but could have an adverse impact on the Company.

Competition

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

Dependence on Key Personnel

The success of the Company is currently largely dependent on the performance of the directors and officers. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the services of the directors and officers or other qualified personnel required to operate its business. The loss of the services of these persons could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the prospects.

Future Financings

The Company’s continued operation will be dependent upon the ability to generate operating revenues and to procure additional financing. There can be no assurance that any such revenues can be generated or that other financing can be obtained on acceptable terms. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis may cause the Company to postpone development plans, forfeit rights in some or all of the properties or joint ventures, or reduce or terminate some or all of the operations.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company’s financial statements and the other financial information included in this management report are the responsibility of the Company’s management and have been examined and approved by the Board of Directors. The financial statements were prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted Canadian accounting principles and include certain amounts based on management’s best estimates using careful judgment. The selection of accounting principles and methods is management’s responsibility.

Management recognizes its responsibility for conducting the Company’s affairs in a manner to comply with the requirements of applicable laws and established financial standards and principles, and for maintaining proper standards of conduct in its activities.

The Board of Directors supervises the financial statements and other financial information through its audit committee, which is comprised of a majority of non-management directors.

GOLDBLOCK CAPITAL INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FEBRUARY 28, 2021

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

GOLDBLOCK CAPITAL INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FEBRUARY 28, 2021

Information Concerning Virgin

Virgin is a privately held mining exploration company with its head office in Vancouver, British Columbia. There are no persons holding a controlling interest in Virgin. Virgin’s mineral exploration activities are focused on underexplored regions of Guyana with an immediate strategy to assemble a portfolio of high-quality gold assets. Virgin has identified the Guiana Shield in Guyana as a stand-out region for gold exploration and is in the process of acquiring several prospecting and mining permits.

Virgin believes gold in Guyana represent a unique opportunity for the following reasons:

  • Guyana is home to several significant gold assets.

  • The Guiana Shield is a region which has remained relatively under explored for gold.
