All capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the long form prospectus of the Company (the “Prospectus”).

1.1 – Date and Basis of Discussion & Analysis

This management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is dated as of September 25, 2020 and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of GSP Resource Corp for the years ended May 31, 2020 and May 31, 2019. The May 31, 2020 and 2019 Financial Statements are prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), have been omitted or condensed. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all financial information is presented in Canadian dollars.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on September 25, 2020.

1.2 – Overall Performance

Nature of Business

GSP Resource Corp. (“GSP” or the “Company”) was incorporated as “GSP Resource Corp.” under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on February 19, 2018.

The Company’s principal business activity is the exploration of mineral properties. The Company currently conducts substantially all of its operations in Canada in one business segment.

The head office and principal address of the Company is located at 1610 – 777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, B.C., V7Y 1K4.

GSP RESOURCE CORP.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020

1.2 – Overall Performance (continued)

On February 23, 2018, the Company entered into the Olivine Option Agreement with Platinum Belt Resources Inc., the Optionor, to acquire a 100% interest in 25 mineral claims comprising the Olivine Property located in the Similkameen Mining Division in the Province of British Columbia. The Olivine Property is the sole property of the Company.

On January 30, 2020, the Company signed an option agreement to acquire 100% of the Alwin coppergold-silver project located in the Similkameen Mining Division, British Columbia.

The Company has never generated revenue or positive cash flows from operations. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020, the Company reported a net loss of $(269,592), cash used in operating activities of $300,665, and an accumulated deficit of $(523,451). For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, the Company reported a net loss of $(225,587), cash used in operating activities of $117,751, and an accumulated deficit of $(253,859). The Company’s ability to continue its operations as intended are dependent on its ability to obtain necessary financing and raise capital sufficient to cover its operating costs.

Operations during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 were primarily related to obtaining the necessary financing, as well as conducting the initial exploration programs on the Olivine and the Alwin Properties. During the period the Company incurred exploration and evaluation assets expenditures in the amount of $306,782 (2019 - $241,992). See “Exploration and Evaluation Assets”.

The Company has a history of no operating earnings. The Company had a negative operating cash flow in its most recently completed financial year and will continue to for the foreseeable future.

An investment in a natural resource company involves a significant degree of risk. The degree of risk increases substantially where the company’s properties are in the exploration stage as opposed to the development stage. The mineral exploration and mining business is competitive in all of its phases.

In the event that the Company’s exploration program is successful, the Company will require additional financing in order to further develop the Company’s property. The Company may not have enough funds to carry out its Phase II exploration program on the Olivine Property and additional financings may be required.

The property of the Company does not contain any known body of commercial ore. The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond control of the Company. The grade of any ore ultimately mined from a mineral deposit may differ from that produced from drilling results. Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk.

There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the calculation of reserves, resources and corresponding grades being dedicated to future production.

See “RISK FACTORS AND UNCERTAINTIES”.

Financing

During the period from Incorporation on February 19, 2018 to May 31, 2018 the Company issued 6,550,000 common shares for net proceeds in the amount of $364,250.

1.6 – Liquidity

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As of May 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $524,187 (2019 - $523,619) to settle due to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $14,007 (2019 - $Nil). All of the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

Historically, the Company’s sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $300,665 (2019 - $117,751), cash used in investing activities was $266,637 (2019 - $219,433), cash derived from financing activities was $567,870 (2019 - $616,351).

GSP RESOURCE CORP.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020

1.6 – Liquidity (cont’d…)

Shareholder's equity as of May 31, 2020 was $1,282,511 (2019 - $896,061). The Company will need to raise additional sources of funding to maintain operations at the currently level. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 the Company raised $567,879 net of share issuance costs through the issue of common shares. $168,000 of which was raised pursuant to the issuance of flow- through shares, $397,328 pursuant to a unit offering and $2,541 pursuant to the exercise of warrants (see “Share Capital“). During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019 the Company raised $616,351 net of share issue costs pursuant to an Initial Public Offering that closed on November 29, 2018 (see “Share Capital”). Although the Company has been successful in the past in rising the necessary funding to continue operations, there can be no certainty it will be able to do so in the future.

The Company is committed to expenditures pursuant to the Olivine and Alwin Property agreements. See “Exploration and Evaluation Assets”.

1.7 – Capital Resources

The capital resources of the Company as of May 31, 2020 are primarily its cash of $524,187 (2019 - $523,619). The Company has raised sufficient funds to conduct any anticipated operating expenses, to conduct exploration programs or for future acquisitions. The Company will require additional financing to fund future projects. The Company anticipates funding future expenditures additional equity subscriptions, such as private placements or through the exercise of warrants and options. In light of the continually changing financial markets, there is no assurance that funding by equity subscriptions will be possible at the times required or for the amounts desired or that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company and its shareholders.

If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of current shareholders will be reduced, and such equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of the Company’s Common Shares.

1.8 – Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of May 31, 2020, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements to which the Company was committed.

1.9 – Transactions with Related Parties

1.11 – Proposed Transactions

The Company has no pending or proposed transactions as of May 31, 2020 other than as noted herein.

1.12 – Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company has outlined the basis of its critical accounting estimates in Note 3 of the May 31, 2020 Financial Statements.

1.13 – Changes in Accounting Policies

Adoption of new accounting standards

The Company adopted the following new accounting standard and interpretation:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Amendments)

In October 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments , incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in November 2017, to address the classification of certain prepayable financial assets.

The amendments clarify that a financial asset that would otherwise have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest but do not meet that condition only as a result of a prepayment feature with negative compensation may be eligible to be measured at either amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. This classification is subject to the assessment of the business model in which the particular financial asset is held as well as consideration of whether certain eligibility conditions are met.

The amendments are adopted on June 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

IFRS 16 Leases (New)

In January 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) on lease accounting which was incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in June 2016. IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases , IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease , SIC-15 Operating Leases - Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease .

12

GSP RESOURCE CORP.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020

1.13 – Changes in Accounting Policies (cont’d…)

IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Lease assets and liabilities are initially recognized on a present value basis and subsequently, similarly to other non-financial assets and financial liabilities, respectively. The lessor accounting requirements are substantially unchanged and, accordingly, continue to require classification and measurement as either operating or finance leases. The new standard also introduces detailed disclosure requirements for both the lessee and lessor.

The amendments are adopted on June 1, 2019. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (New)

In June 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretation, incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in September 2017, to specify how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes. IAS 12 Income Taxes provides requirements on the recognition and measurement of current or deferred income tax liabilities and assets. However, it does not provide a specific requirement for the accounting for income tax when the application of tax law to a particular transaction or circumstance is uncertain. As a result, the interpretation aims to reduce the diversity in how entities recognise and measure a tax liability or tax asset when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.

The amendments are adopted on June 1, 2019. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Amendment)

In March 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in October 2018. This revised Conceptual Framework replaces the previous version of the Conceptual Framework issued in 2010. The Conceptual Framework assists entities in developing accounting policies when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction and helps stakeholders to more broadly and better understand the standards.

The revised Conceptual Framework includes the following clarifications and updates:

  • A new chapter on measurement;

  • Guidance on reporting financial performance;

  • Improved definitions and guidance, particularly for the definition of a liability; and,

  • Clarifications in important areas such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The Company has not early adopted this standard and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure (Amendment)

In September 2019, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures , which were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in November 2019. The amendments to IFRS 7 arise as a result of amendments made to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to provide temporary relief from applying specific hedge accounting requirements that could have resulted in the discontinuation of hedge accounting solely due to the uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform. Accordingly, IFRS 7 has been amended to provide specific disclosure requirements regarding uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform, which include:

  • Significant interest rate benchmarks to which the entity’s hedging relationships are exposed.

  • The extent of the risk exposure the entity manages that is directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform.

  • How the entity is managing the process to transition to alternative benchmark rates.

  • A description of significant assumptions or judgments the entity made.

  • The nominal amount of the hedging instruments in those hedging relationships.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The Company has not early adopted this standard and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Amendments)

In September 2019, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments , which were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in November 2019. The amendments provide temporary relief from applying specific hedge accounting requirements that could have resulted in the discontinuation of hedge accounting solely due to the uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier application is permitted.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Amendment) and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (Amendment)

In October 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 which were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in February 2019. The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied, as well as align the definition of material across IFRS standards and other publications. The amended definition of material states:

Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and are required to be applied prospectively. The Company has not early adopted this standard and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (Amendment)

In September 2019, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement , which were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in November 2019. The AcSB incorporated the amendments to IAS 39 into both the (when IFRS 9 application is deferred) version and the (when IFRS 9 is applied) version.

The amendments provide temporary relief from applying specific hedge accounting requirements that could have resulted in the discontinuation of hedge accounting solely due to the uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The Company has not early adopted this standard and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

1.14 – Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company applied the following fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value into three levels:

The three levels are defined as follows:

  • Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

  • Level 2 – inputs to valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

  • Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments are cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties. All these financial instruments are carried on the statements of financial position at amortized cost. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not meet its financial obligations as they become due. Refer to Note 1 for further details related to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at May 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $524,187 (2019 - $523,619) to settle amounts due to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $14,007 (2019 - $Nil). All of the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

Historically, the Company’s sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.

1.14 – Financial Instruments and Other Instruments (cont’d…)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Company. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties. The carrying amounts of financial assets best represent the maximum credit risk exposure at the reporting date.

Cash is held with reputable banks in Canada. The long-term credit rating of these banks, as determined by Standard and Poor’s, was A+.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. An immaterial amount of interest rate exposure exists in respect of cash balances on the statement of financial position. As a result, the Company is not exposed to material cash flow interest rate risk on its cash balances.

RISK FACTORS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and, if warranted, developing and exploiting natural resource properties, currently in British Columbia, Canada. Due to the nature of the Company’s business and the present stage of exploration of its mineral properties (which are primarily early stage exploration properties with no known resources or reserves), many risk factors will apply. The risks described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks not presently known to the Company may also impair the business operations.

Going Concern and Financing Risks

The Company has limited financial resources, has no source of operating cash flow and has no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects or to fulfill its obligations under any applicable agreements. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its projects with the possible loss of such properties.

Insufficient Financial Resources

The Company does not presently have sufficient financial resources to meet obligations when they become due, undertake by itself the acquisition, exploration and development of all of its planned acquisition, exploration and development programs. Future property acquisitions and the development of the Company’s properties will therefore depend upon the Company’s ability to obtain financing through the joint venturing of projects, private placement financing, public financing, short or long term borrowings or other means. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the required financing. Failure to raise the required funds could result in the Company losing, or being required to dispose of, its interest in its properties.

General Economic Conditions

The recent events in global financial markets have had a profound impact on the global economy. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates, and tax rates may adversely affect the Company’s growth and profitability. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Share Price Volatility

There can be no assurance that an active trading market in our securities will be established and sustained. The market price for our securities could be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors such as commodity prices, government regulation, interest rates, share price movements of our peer companies and competitors, as well as overall market movements, may have a significant impact on the market price of the securities of our Company. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, particularly in the mining sector, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020

Dependence on Others and Key Personnel

The success of the Company’s operations will depend upon numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including (i) the ability to design and carry out appropriate exploration programs on its mineral properties; (ii) the ability to produce minerals from any mineral deposits that may be located; (iii) the ability to attract and retain additional key personnel in exploration, marketing, mine development and finance; and (iv) the ability and the operating resources to develop and maintain the properties held by the Company. There can be no assurance of success with any or all of these factors on which the Company’s operations will depend, or that the Company will be successful in finding and retaining the necessary employees, personnel and/or consultants in order to be able to successfully carry out such activities.

Government Regulation

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to prospecting, development, production, environmental protection, mining taxes, labor standards, property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company.

Competition

The Company’s business of the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties is intensely competitive. The Company may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring additional mining properties because it must compete with other individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than the Company. Increased competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.

Fluctuation of Metal Prices

Even if commercial quantities of mineral deposits are discovered by the Company, there is no guarantee that a profitable market will exist for the sale of the metals produced. There can be no assurance that the price of any commodities will be such that any of the properties in which the Company has, or has the right to acquire, an interest may be mined at a profit.

Title Matters

Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to the mineral properties in which it has or has a right to acquire an interest in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee title (whether of the Company or of any underlying vendor(s) from whom the Company may be acquiring its interest). Title to mineral properties may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and may also be affected by undetected defects or the rights of indigenous peoples. Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties for which titles have been issued are in good standing.

Uncertainty of Resource Estimates/Reserve

Unless otherwise indicated, mineralization figures presented in the Company’s filings with securities regulatory authorities, press releases and other public statements that may be made from time to time are based upon estimates made by Company personnel and independent geologists. These estimates are imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable.

25

GSP RESOURCE CORP.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020

Limited Experience

The Company has very limited experience in placing mineral resource properties into production, and its ability to do so will be dependent upon using the services of appropriately experienced personnel or entering into agreements with other major resource companies that can provide such expertise. There can be no assurance that the Company will have available to it the necessary expertise when and if it places its resource properties into production.

Speculative Business

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business and involves a high degree of risk, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in size to return a profit from production. The marketability of natural resources that may be acquired or discovered by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. There is no known resource, and there are no known reserves, on any of the Company’s properties.

Permits and Licenses

The operations of the Company will require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out its projects, on reasonable terms or at all. Delays, or a failure to obtain such licenses and permits, or a failure to comply with the terms of any such licenses and permits that the Company does obtain, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Dilution to the Company’s Existing Shareholders

The Company will require additional equity financing to be raised in the future. The Company may issue securities at less than favorable terms to raise sufficient capital to fund its business plan. Any transaction involving the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into common shares would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to present and prospective holders of common shares.
