Forward-Looking Statements

‐ In making and providing the forward looking information included in this MD&A the Company’s assumptions may include among other things: (i) assumptions about the price of metals; (ii) that there are no material delays in the optimization of operations at the exploration and evaluation assets; (iii) assumptions about operating costs and expenditures; (iv) assumptions about future production and recovery; (v) that there is no unanticipated fluctuation in foreign exchange rates; and (vi) that there is no material deterioration in general economic conditions. Although management believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward‐looking information will prove to be accurate. By its nature, forward‐ looking information is based on assumptions and involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements, or results, to be materially different from ‐ future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking information. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include among other things the following: (i) decreases in the price of base metals; (ii) the risk that the Company will continue to have negative operating cash flow; (iii) the risk that additional financing will not be obtained as and when required; (iv) material increases in operating costs; (v) adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; and (vi) environmental risks and changes in environmental legislation.

This MD&A (See “Risks and Uncertainties”) and the Company’s annual information form contain information on ‐ risks, uncertainties and other factors relating to the forward looking information. Although the Company has attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in the forward‐looking information, there may be other factors that cause actual results, performances, achievements or events not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. Also, many of the factors are beyond the Company’s control. ‐ Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward looking information. The Company undertakes no obligation to reissue or update forward looking information as a result of new information or events after the date of ‐ this MD&A except as may be required by law. All forward looking information disclosed in this document is qualified by this cautionary statement.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties due to the nature of its business. The Company’s exploration and development activities expose the Company to various financial and operational risks that could have a significant impact on its level of operating cash flows in the future. Readers are advised to study and consider risk factors stressed below.

The following are identified as main risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company.

Financing

The Company’s future financial success depends on the ability to raise additional capital from the issue of shares or the discovery of properties which could be economically justifiable to develop. Such development could take years to complete and resulting income and cash flow, if any, is difficult to determine. The sales value of any mineralization potentially discovered by the Company is largely dependent upon factors beyond the Company’s control, such as the market value of the products produced.

General Resource Exploration Risks and Competitive Conditions

The resource exploration industry is an inherently risky business with large capital expenditures and volatile metals markets. The marketability of any minerals discovered may be affected by numerous factors that are beyond the Company’s control and which cannot be predicted, such as market fluctuations, mineral markets and processing equipment, and changes to government regulations, including those relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. This industry is intensely competitive and there is no guarantee that, even if commercial quantities are discovered, a profitable market will exist for their sale. The Company competes with other junior exploration companies for the acquisition of mineral claims as well for the engagement of qualified contractors. Metal prices have fluctuated widely in recent years, and they are determined in international markets over which the Company has no influence.

Governmental Regulation

Regulatory standards continue to change, making the review process longer, more complex and therefore more expensive. Exploration and development on the Company’s properties is affected by government regulations relating to such matters as environmental protection, health, safety and labour, mining law reform, restrictions on production, price control, tax increases, maintenance of claims and tenure. There is no assurance that future changes in such regulations couldn’t result in additional expenses and capital expenditures, decreasing availability of capital, competition, reserve uncertainty, title risks, and delays in operations. The Company relies on the expertise and commitment of its management team, advisors, employees and contractors to ensure compliance with current laws.

Overview

The Company is incorporated under the Business Corporation Act of British Columbia.

On March 20, 2020, the Company changed its name from Infinite Lithium Corp. to Infinite Ore Corp. to better reflect the Company’s Strategy.

As a junior mineral exploration company, the Company’s core assets are the exploration rights to its exploration and evaluation assets. The Company’s current objective is to seek out and acquire prospective exploration and evaluation assets in North America with the view to exploring and developing the properties.

The Company currently has no producing properties, and consequently no operating income or cash flow. The Company is dependent on the equities markets to finance all of its activities and it is anticipated that it will continue to rely on this source of funding for its exploration expenditures and to meet its ongoing working capital requirements.

Overall Performance

For the period ended April 30, 2021, the Company had cash outflows relating to operating activities of $89,181 (2020 - $434,776) relating to general and administration expenditures during the period. The Company also had cash flows used in investing activities of $858,974 (2020 – $115,684), primarily due to exploration and evaluation asset expenditures and advances in the current period. The Company received cash flows for financing activities of $357,187 (2020 - $221,560) mainly due to amounts from proceeds from private placements.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Jackpot Lithium Property, Ontario

The Company acquired the Jackpot project in April 2016. The Jackpot Lithium property is located about 140 km NNE of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

The Jackpot lithium deposits was described by E.G. Pye in a 1965 report published by the Ontario Depart. of Mines on the Georgia Lake Area. The deposits were tested by a total of 32 holes drilled in 1955 by Ontario Lithium Company Limited and its associated company Conwest Exploration Co. Ltd. The drilling confirmed the presence of at least two spodumene-bearing pegmatite bodies, one at the surface (No. 1) and the other (No. 2) lying directly beneath the No.

1 deposit. Historical resources at Jackpot, comprising only the No. 2 Dyke pegmatite zone, was reported as 2Mt @ 1.09 Li2O estimated in 1956 by Ontario Lithium Company Limited* . The No. 2 pegmatite dyke, which was discovered by diamond-drilling, was intersected at 30 to 100 meters intervals over a strike length of 215 meters and at 30-60 meters intervals over a distance of 365 meters across strike. Dyke No. 2 is 4 to 20 meters thick, averaging 11 meters.

*The estimates presented above are treated as historic information and have not been verified or relied upon for economic evaluation by the Company. These historical mineral resources do not refer to any category of sections 1.2 and 1.3 of the NI-43-101 Instrument such as mineral resources or mineral reserves as stated in the 2010 CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. The explanation lies in the inability by the Company to verify the data acquired by the various historical drilling campaigns. The Company has not done sufficient work yet to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

In March 2017, the considerations in the option agreement was amended as follows: i) issuance of 300,000 shares (issued at a value of $156,000); ii) issuance of 375,000 shares by March 28, 2017 (issued at a value of $75,000); and iii) incurring exploration expenditures of $350,000 will no longer be required.

On January 18, 2018, the Company acquired an additional 100% interest in certain claims surrounding its Jackpot Property by issuing 600,000 shares to the vendors plus the granting of a 2% NSR of which the Company may purchase back 1% for $1,000,000.

On March 1, 2018, the Company announced initial results from the first 5 drill holes of the ongoing Phase 1 drilling program which began in December 2017. This program was aimed at confirming and expanding on the historical drilling (1955) at the Jackpot Property.

Five (5) drill holes, totalling 681 metres, are now available for reporting as follows:

==> picture [376 x 209] intentionally omitted <==

These five drill holes are approximate twins of historic drill holes as follows: J-17-01: twin of historic hole 425; J-1801: twin of historic hole 426; J-18-02: twin of historic hole 427; J-18-03: twin of historic hole 428; J-18-04: twin of historic hole 429.

A total of twelve (12) drill holes, totalling approximately 1,700 metres, have been completed to date and results will be released as assays become available. Locations of the Phase 1 drill holes were designed to support historic drilling results, assist in modelling the orientation of the pegmatites, and provide a more robust understanding of the property’s potential. Drilling to date confirms the presence of the two pegmatite dykes, one near or at surface and relatively flatlying, and the second striking approximately east-northeast and dripping shallowly to the northwest.

In April 2018, the Company announced results from ten (10) drill holes (totalling 1,371 metres) as follows:

==> picture [344 x 328] intentionally omitted <==

*intervals do not represent true widths

Drilling to date confirms the presence of the three pegmatite dykes, one near or at surface and relatively flat-lying (Dyke #1), the second striking approximately east-northeast and dripping shallowly to the northwest (Dyke #2), and a third pegmatite dyke (Dyke #3) below Dyke #2.

On November 22, 2018, the Company announced results from its 2018 channel sampling program at Jackpot.

The Company’s channel sampling program generated a total of 26 channel cuts (essentially surface drill holes) from spodumene-bearing pegmatite outcrops (cleared mechanically and washed) over nine cleared areas, comprising 372 individual channel samples (355.40 metres). Channel sample results from channels A3- CH1, CH2, CH3, and A5CH1 were released previously (see News Release dated August 16, 2018) but are repeated here for completeness of results.

==> picture [459 x 339] intentionally omitted <==

Channel samples were cut through exposed pegmatite at right angles to interpreted strike and importantly represent minimum widths as the channel cuts were not sampled from contact to contact. As winter weather conditions do not allow for further channel sampling, a short hole drilling program is underway, aimed at delineating the geometry of the surface dikes and providing enough information to complete a future mineral resource estimation of the surface dike system.

Current interpretation of the pegmatite dike system suggests there are at least four approximately east to west trending surface Lithium, Cesium, and Tantalum (“LCT”) pegmatite dikes, each interpreted to extend between 500 and 1,000 metres along strike (open in both directions) and to be as much as 80 metres in width. The terrain north, east, and southeast of the exposed surface dikes is extensively covered with alluvium and till, and is therefore better explored under frozen winter conditions.

On December 8, 2020, the Company is reviewing technical data and evaluating options to increase the potential of the Company’s 100% owned Jackpot Lithium project located in the Georgia Lake Area, Thunder Bay Mining Division, Ontario. Jackpot is situated about 42 km north-northeast of Nipigon and approximately 105 km east-northeast of the Great Lakes port City of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It is adjacent to the Georgia Lake lithium deposit, for which Rock Tech Lithium Inc. recently announced a letter of intent with Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. to collaborate on the development of a lithium sulphate production facility located in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

The Company is currently developing a 3D model evaluating past drilling and surface channel sampling to identify areas for expansion including the identification of other mineralized spodumene dykes on the property which have yet to see a drill hole. Once data compilation is complete, Infinite Ore will determine next steps for the property development. JC St-Amour offers a quick review of the model and the work completed to date on the Jackpot project in this video. https://youtu.be/qtMc6R7M7Pk

Infinite completed 53 drill holes (9,496 metres) in its long-hole program and eight (8) drill holes (298 metres) from its short-hole program in 2018. The long-hole program was aimed at surface, near-surface, and deeper spodumene (lithium) bearing pegmatites of the Main Zone Dike whereas the short-hole program was focused exclusively on delineating surface and near-surface spodumene-rich LCT pegmatites. The property also contains known pegmatite dyke showings that are untested for lithium and has the potential to contain additional dykes under ground cover.

In addition, the Company completed a total of 26 channel samples from spodumene bearing pegmatite outcrops over nine cleared areas, comprising 372 individual channel samples (355.40 metres). Channel samples results with high lithium content included (see press release dated November 22, 2018):

In June 2020, the Company announced that a NI 43-101 geology report on the Fredart property in the Red Lake mining district has been completed, as required by the TSX.V regulators, and has been submitted for review. The newly acquired Fredart property is located 61 km east of the town of Red Lake in northwestern Ontario, comprising 171 contiguous mineral claims or 2,620 hectares.

In addition, a phase one diamond drill program is proposed in the near term to confirm and expand on the VMS mineralized zones, to test for gold mineralization, and to refine the Leapfrog 3D model.

This newly commissioned report by authors Michel Boily and Matt Long represents a detailed compilation and interpretation of the Fredart Property with the following highlights:

• The Fredart property hosts the Copperlode/Fredart zone, with a historical mineral resource of 386,200 tonnes grading 1.56 per cent copper (% Cu) and 33.6 grams per tonne silver (g/t Ag) (completed by Phelps-Dodge Mining Co. in 1971 and included within a prospectus for Consolidated Copper Lode Developments Inc., Jan. 7, 1977, submitted to the Ontario Securities Commission). This historical mineral resource requires further drilling in order to verify and upgrade the resource to NI 43-101 standards. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current resources or mineral reserves and Infinite Ore is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

• Mineralization in the Copperlode/Fredart zone is interpreted as Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) type, dominated by zinc, copper and silver. Analysis for gold is incomplete, but significant values have been reported in some historic drill holes.

• Outcrop exposure on the Fredart Property is limited and exploration to date has focused on geochemical and geophysical methods to define targets. The report notes: “The main “A” zone is 400 m long, at least 200 m deep and trends E-NE. Diamond drilling indicated the Copperlode “A” zone consists of numerous narrow, discontinuous, en échelon and subparallel sulphide zones. The metavolcanic rocks are commonly biotized and include variable amounts of garnet and green-black amphibole. Intermediate metavolcanic rocks are also variably sericitized. Rocks within the mineralized zone are highly strained, sheared, fissile, boudinaged, and folded.”

• The following is a list of the best historical drill results presented in the NI 43-101 report:

In June 2020, the Company announced its inaugural 1,250 metre diamond drill program on the Fredart property in the Red Lake Mining District. The phase one diamond drill program will commence within a week and aims to confirm and expand on the VMS mineralized zones, test for gold mineralization, and refine the Leapfrog 3D model.

The Fredart property hosts the Copperlode/Fredart zone, with a historical mineral resource of 386,200 tonnes grading 1.56 per cent copper (% Cu) and 33.6 grams per tonne silver (g/t Ag) (completed by Phelps-Dodge Mining Co. in 1971 and included within a prospectus for Consolidated Copper Lode Developments Inc., Jan. 7, 1977, submitted to the Ontario Securities Commission). This historical mineral resource requires further drilling in order to verify and upgrade the resource to NI 43-101 standards. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current resources or mineral reserves and Infinite Ore is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

In July 2020, the Company completed its recently expanded 10 hole drill program on the Fredart property located in the prolific Red Lake Mining District. (See Figure 1) In addition, the Company wishes to report that it has intersected several zones of massive, semi-massive, stringers and blebs of sulphide minerals (pyrite+pyrrhotite+chalcopyrite) in association with oxide and silicate iron formations in 8 of the 10 drill holes.

In August 2020, the Company announced results of its drill program as follows:
