MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS For the year ended October 31, 2025
Introduction
The following management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the operations, results, and financial position of Kermode Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Kermode”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 and the notes thereto.
The referenced consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”). All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. This MD&A is dated February 24, 2026.
Business Description
Kermode has continued its efforts to date with a sole business objective to identify, evaluate and explore mineral properties having high potential for the discovery of economic mineral deposits. The Company is a publicly traded company without any substantive operations, and thus, has realized no significant mining revenues to date. Kermode has a year end of October 31 and was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta and was subsequently continued into British Columbia.
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring, and transacting in mineral exploration properties located in Canada, and accordingly has no revenue from any of its properties to date. The Company’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the TSX-V”) under the trading symbol “KLM”.
On March 12, 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1521158 B.C. Ltd. by issuance of 15,000,000 common shares. The Company also paid $10,205 in transaction costs.
On October 6, 2025, the Company and the optionors of the Beaton Gold, Mt. Sicker and Tamahi projects in British Columbia agreed to mutually terminate the respective option agreements with immediate effect. The board of directors has also decided that it does not intend to further advance the Lucky Strike project in British Columbia, and has abandoned the effort to transfer these claims to Kermode which continue to be registered in the name of the prospector, or the Company’s existing mining concessions in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which are expected to lapse to the Crown in January 2026. On October 31, 2025, the Company recognized an impairment of its Thunder Bay property which was set to lapse in January 2026. The Company recorded an impairment of $85,205 on this asset.
The mining exploration business has a disproportionate effect on the cash needs of Kermode. To function with the capital-intensive nature of mining exploration and development, management has developed a business strategy focused on early-stage exploration opportunities where the prospecting partners get large incentives through property options and shares-for-services agreements. This strategy has entailed a significant increase in share issuance relative to prior years, and an increase in exploration activity. The strategy has not yielded any return in terms of selling a project to another party.

Kermode has no revenue or operating income. There is no significant seasonality to the business.
The factors that have caused variations over the quarters necessary to understand general trends that have developed over time concern the Company’s strategy for business development.
For example, Kermode has entered property purchase option agreements with prospectors rather than staking claims directly itself. This business strategy choice has caused Kermode to issue relatively large numbers of shares to option claims rather than pay relatively small amounts of cash to stake claims. The reason for this choice is management’s pursuit of opportunities to work with prospectors who can provide exploration services on their own projects for Kermode on a turn-key basis entirely paid in shares. As Kermode continues to do such deals with these prospectors, the “Total Assets” reported has generally increased quarter-quarter. Also, the “Exploration and Evaluation Assets” has also increased and the Shareholders' Deficiency has also increased.
The changes in quarterly net loss from one period to another were also impacted by the timing of recognition of share-based payment expense as well as the timing and quantum of recognition of impairment losses on the exploration and evaluation assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. On October 31, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficit of $328,094 (October 31, 2024 - $318,466) and at that date, the Company also had an accumulated deficit of $12,461,464 (October 31, 2024 - $11,055,847) which has been funded primarily by the issuance of equity. The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance of common shares. The Company will continue to seek capital through the issuance of common shares
As at October 31, 2025, the Company had a cash of $36,684 (October 31, 2024 - $5,056) available to settle current liabilities of $367,246 (October 31, 2024 - $347,122) and a current working capital deficit $328,094 (October 31, 2024 - $318,466).
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its general operating expenses and to continue to explore its mineral properties. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. These factors may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statements of financial position classifications that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
The discovery, development and acquisition of mineral properties are unpredictable events. Future metal prices, the success of exploration programs and other property transactions can have a significant impact on capital requirements. The Company does not expect to receive significant income from any of its properties within the foreseeable future. Should the Company decide to further develop any of its properties, the Company may fund its capital requirements by arranging further equity financing, issuing long-term debt, selling royalties, arranging joint ventures with other companies, or through a combination of the
11
above. The Company may also consider the sale of certain non-core properties in order to raise additional capital.

Risks
The Company is engaged in the exploration, development and exploitation of mineral resources for base metals, precious metals, industrial minerals and diamonds. The properties of the Company are without a known body of commercial ore. The exploration programs undertaken and proposed constitute an exploratory search and there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its search. The business of exploring for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to establish ore reserves, to develop metallurgical processes, and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the current exploration programs planned by the Company will result in a profitable commercial mining operation. The amounts shown as property acquisition costs represent acquisition and holding cost, less amounts written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.
Acquisition of rights to the mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process. Title to, and the area of, mineral properties may be disputed. Although the Company has investigated the title to all of the properties for which it holds concessions or in respect of which it has a right to earn an interest, the Company cannot give any assurance that title to such properties will not be challenged or impugned. The Company’s properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects or governmental actions. The Company can never be certain that it or its option partners will have valid title to its mineral properties. Mineral properties sometimes contain claims or transfer histories that examiners cannot verify, and transfers under foreign law are often complex.
The Company does not carry title insurance on its properties. A successful claim that the Company or its option partner does not have title to a property could cause the Company to lose its rights to that property, perhaps without compensation for its prior expenditures relating to the property. The occurrence of any such event could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its prospects.
14
The Company requires licenses and permits from various governmental authorities to carry out exploration and development of its projects. Obtaining permits can be a complex, time consuming process. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary licences and permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could stop or materially delay or restrict the Company from continuing or proceeding with existing or future operations or projects. Any failure to comply with permits and applicable laws and regulations, even if inadvertent, could result in the interruption or closure of operations or material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In addition, the requirements applicable to sustain existing permits and licenses may change or become more stringent over time and there is no assurance that the Company will have the resources or expertise to meet its obligations under such licenses and permits.
The Company has experienced losses in operations in prior years and has an accumulated deficit position. The Company expects to incur losses for the foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company’s operations is subject to its ability to continue to be able to raise funding to support its operations. While the Company has been successful to date in raising funding there is no guarantee that it will continue to do so in the future.
The profitability of the Company’s operations, if ever established, will be dependent upon the market price of mineral commodities. Mineral prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. The level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, world supply of mineral commodities, consumption patterns, sales of copper, gold and silver by central banks, forward sales by producers, production, industrial and jewellery demand, speculative activities and stability of exchange rates can all cause significant fluctuations in prices. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns, monetary systems and political developments. The prices of mineral commodities have fluctuated widely in recent years. Current and future price declines could cause commercial production to be impracticable. The Company’s revenues and earnings also could be affected by the prices of other commodities such as fuel and other consumable items, although to a lesser extent than by the price of copper, gold, silver or molybdenum. The prices of these commodities are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.
The Company is dependent upon share issuances to provide the funding necessary to meet its general operating expenses and will require additional financing to continue to explore its mineral properties. Issuances of additional securities will result in dilution of the equity interests of the Company’s shareholders. The Company may issue additional common shares in the future as further capital is required and on the exercise of outstanding options or other convertible securities issued from time to time. Sales or issuances of substantial amounts of additional securities, or the availability of such securities for sale, could adversely affect the market prices for the Company’s securities. A decline in the market prices of securities of the Company could impair the Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the sale of new common shares should it desire to do so. In addition, if additional common shares or securities convertible into common shares are sold or issued, such sales or issuances may substantially dilute the equity interests of the Company’s holders of common shares.
Certain directors and officers of the Company are or may become associated with other natural resource companies which may give rise to conflicts of interest. In accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), a director or senior officer who has a material interest in a contract or transaction or a proposed contract or transaction that is material to the Company, or a director or senior officer who is a director or senior officer of, or has a material interest in, a person who has a material interest in the contract or transaction, is required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract or transaction. In addition, the directors and the officers are
15
required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. However, circumstances (including with respect to future corporate opportunities) may arise which are resolved in a manner that is unfavourable to the Company. Further, the non-management directors of the Company have either other full-time employment or other business or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, the Company will not be the only business enterprise of these persons and these persons will not devote all of their time to the business and affairs of the Company.
The Company is also subject to regulatory risks include the possible delays in getting regulatory approval to the transactions that the Board of Directors believe to be in the best interest of the Company, and include increased fees for filings, the introduction of ever more complex reporting requirements the cost of which the Company must meet in order to maintain its exchange listing.
Companies in all industries, including the mining industry, are subject to legal claims from time to time, some of which have merit and others of which do not. Defence and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which the Company may become subject could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or the Company’s property development.
Companies in all industries, including the mining industry, are susceptible to cyber risk. The Company’s primary operational exposure to cyber risk is with respect to proprietary geological, geochemical and exploration data and related models. The Company, similar to companies in all industries, is exposed to common place cyber risks such as, but not necessarily limited to, phishing, spam, fraudulent attacks, denial of service attacks, data loss , data theft, data corruption. The Company outsources its IT management to IT professionals who implement, among other controls and mitigation strategies, system access and authentication controls, transactional authentication, ssystem aactivity logging, audit trails, “exception” handling, on-prem and off-prem backup and storage of the Company’s data.
Other
The economic uncertainties around persistent inflation pressure, geopolitical and other global factors have the potential to slow growth in the global economy. Future developments in these challenging areas could impact on the Company’s results and financial condition and the full extent of that impact remains unknown.
