Description of Business

Kingman Minerals Ltd. is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of resource properties. As at June 30, 2021, the Company has interests in the following resource properties:

1. Covette Property

On February 5, 2019, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire the Covette Property, located in the James Bay Region, Province of Quebec, comprising 12 contiguous claims that cover an area of 613 hectares. The Company can acquire a 100% interest by paying an aggregate of $1,250,000 cash over various periods extending over a thirty-six month period. The payment terms are:

  • i. A cash payment of $25,000 upon the signing of the agreement (PAID);
  • ii. A further cash payment of $25,000 on the 3-month anniversary of signing (PAID);
  • iii. A further cash payment of $100,000 on the 12-month anniversary of signing;
  • iv. A further cash payment of $100,000 on the 24-month anniversary of signing;
  • v. A further cash payment of $1,000,000 on the 36-month anniversary of signing;

A 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) is included in the agreement payable to the Vendor. The Issuer must spend a minimum of $300,000 qualified exploration and development expenditures by February 5, 2021.

Management does not have further exploration plans on this property, as such the Company recorded an impairment write-down of mineral property acquisition costs of $50,000 during the year ended September 30, 2020.

2. Cadillac East Property

On February 10, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire the Cadillac East Property, located in Val d'Or, Province of Quebec. The Company can acquire a 100% interest by paying an aggregate of $220,000 cash over various periods extending over a 24-month period. The payment terms are:

  • i. A cash payment of $60,000 within five days following the signing of the agreement (PAID);
  • ii. A further cash payment of $60,000 within 12 months of the signing of the agreement;
  • iii. A further cash payment of $100,000 within 24 months of the signing of the agreement; and
  • iv. The company must incur $500,000 in exploration expenditures within 24 months of the signing of the agreement.

A 1% Net Smelter Return (NSR) is included in the agreement payable to the Vendor, which may be purchased at any time by the Company paying to the Vendor $1,000,000.

On January 6, 2021, the Company terminated the Agreement for the Cadillac East Property.

3. Mohave Property

On February 24, 2020, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement ("Share Exchange Agreement") with Mohave, to acquire all the issued and outstanding share capital of Mohave.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Mohave (9,000,000 common shares), and in consideration for which, the Company issued 2,500,000 common shares to the shareholders of Mohave. As a result of this transaction, Mohave became a wholly

Management's Discussion and Analysis Nine months ended June 30, 2021 August 30, 2021

owned subsidiary of the Company. This transaction was approved by the TSX Venture Exchange on March 17, 2020.

As Mojave did not meet the definition of a business, the Company treated this acquisition as an asset acquisition. The purchase price was allocated according to the assts acquired:

Cash $1,551
Exploration and evaluation asset acquired $260,949
Total consideration $262,500

Mohave has an underlying purchase option agreement ("Underlying Agreement") dated December 18, 2019, to acquire a 100% interest in the Mohave Project, 20 mineral claims situated in Mohave County, Arizona, USA. Under the terms of the underlying agreement, Mohave can acquire a 100% interest by paying aggregate cash payments totalling $289,000 at various periods over 48 months as follows:

  • i. USD $10,000 upon signing of the Underlying Agreement (CAD $13,411 paid prior to acquisition):
  • ii. USD $29,000 on or before November 29, 2019 (CAD $38,892 paid prior to acquisition);
  • iii. USD $40,000 12 months after the effective date (CAD $53,004 paid);
  • iv. USD $60,000 24 months after the effective date;
  • v. USD $75,000 36 months after the effective date;
  • vi. USD $75,000 48 months after the effective date.

Mohave will also pay all government fees applying to the Mohave Project and in the event of termination of the option, Mohave will ensure that all claims that comprise the Mohave Project have a minimum of one year of good standing at the time of termination. A 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) is included in the agreement which may be re-purchased by Mohave.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred $654,526 (September 30, 2020 - $99,474) in exploration expenditures on the Mohave Project.

Risk Factors

The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and, if warranted, developing and exploiting natural resource properties. Mineral property exploration is a speculative business and involves a high degree of risk. There is a probability that the expenditures made by the Company in exploring its properties will not result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals. A high level of ongoing expenditures is required to locate and estimate ore reserves, which are the basis to further the development of a property. Capital expenditures to support the commercial production state are also very substantial.

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. The impact on the Company is not currently determinable but management continues to monitor the situation.

Matters related to the principal risks faced by the Company have been disclosed in previous MD&A's filed on SEDAR and continue to apply to the activity and business of the Company.

Selected Annual Information

The following selected financial data with respect to the Company's financial condition and results of operations has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended September 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 prepared in accordance with IFRS. The selected financial data should be read in conjunction with those financial statements and the notes thereto.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Nine months ended June 30, 2021 August 30, 2021

The following selected financial information is extracted from the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with IFRS.

30Sept20 30Sept19 30Sept18
Interest Income $(2,913) $(4,191) $(8,612)
Net Gain/Loss for the year $(737,302) $(1,168,801) $(1,381,908)
Loss per Share $(0.04) $(0.23) $(0.03)

Total Liabilities $356,263 $418,208 $245,848
Working Capital $(254,287) $(406,025) $(118,967)

The referenced audited annual financial statements of the Company above have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of consolidated financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Results of Operations

At June 30, 2021, total assets were $1,630,543 compared to $575,403 as at September 30, 2020. This increase in assets is due to increases in cash due to private placements and warrant exercises during the year and increases in GST receivables and mineral properties due to the acquisition of the Mohave Project.

The Company has no operating revenues.

Summary of Quarterly Results

The following discussion outlines the reasons for some of the variations in the quarterly numbers but, as with most junior mineral exploration companies, the results of operations (including interest income and net losses) are not the main factors in establishing the financial health of the Company. Of far greater significance are the resource properties in which the Company has, or may earn an interest, its working capital and how many shares it has outstanding. The variation seen over such quarters is primarily dependent upon the success of the Company's ongoing property evaluation program and the timing and results of the Company's exploration activities on its then current properties, none of which are possible to predict with any accuracy.

There are no general trends regarding the Company's quarterly results and the Company's business of resource exploration is not seasonal, as it can work on its property on a year-round basis (funding permitting). Quarterly results may vary significantly depending mainly on whether the Company has abandoned any properties or granted any stock options and these factors which may account for material variations in the Company's quarterly net income (losses) are not predictable.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Nine months ended June 30, 2021 August 30, 2021

The major factors which may cause material variations in net loss on a quarterly basis are as follows:

  • Completion of annual audits, which occurred in the quarter ending September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.
  • Increase in gain on settlement of debt, which occurred in the quarter ended September 31, 2019, and June 30, 2019.
  • Issuance of stock options, which occurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
  • Issuance of shares due to warrant exercises, which occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

The major factors which may cause material variations in assets on a quarterly basis are as follows:

  • Increases in cash due to private placements, which occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.
  • Increases in assets due to the acquisition of the Mohave Project, which occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
  • Decreases in assets due to the impairment of mineral properties, such as the Covette Property, Condor Gold, and, Taca Taca District Property, which occurred in the quarter ended September 30, 2020, March 30, 2020, September 30, 2019, and June 30, 2019.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported a net and comprehensive loss of $286,991 compared to a net and comprehensive loss of $283,852 during the same quarter in the prior year, representing a slight increase in loss of $3,139. This slight increase in loss is primarily attributable to the following:

• An increase in management and consulting fees of $108,020. Management and consulting fees were $187,880 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $79,860 for the same quarter in the prior year.

• An increase in professional fees of $3,605. Professional fees were $3,605 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $Nil for the same quarter in the prior year.

These increases were partially offset by the following decreases in net loss:

• A decrease in share-based compensation of $25,258. Share-based compensation was $Nil for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $25,258 for the same quarter in the prior year.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2021

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported a net and comprehensive loss of $1,910,593 compared to a net and comprehensive loss of $576,640 during the same period in the prior year, representing an increase in loss of $1,333,953. This increase in loss is primarily attributable to the following:

• An increase in management and consulting fees of $360,052. Management and consulting fees were $656,632 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $296,580 for the same period in the prior year.

• An increase in corporate communications of $303,922. Corporate communications were $393,109 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $89,87 for the same period in the prior year.

• An increase in share-based compensation of $730,084. Share-based compensation was $755,342 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $25,258 for the same period in the prior year.

• An increase in claim maintenance and property costs of $15,213. Share-based compensation was $15,398 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $185 for the same period in the prior year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Nine months ended June 30, 2021 August 30, 2021

These increases were partially offset by the following decreases in net loss:

• A decrease in travel of $7,326. Travel was $1,834 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $9,160 for the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has no revenue generating operations from which it can internally generate funds and therefore has been incurring losses since inception. The Company has financed its operations and met its capital requirements primarily through the sale of capital stock by way of private placements and the subsequent exercise of share purchase warrants issued in connection with such private placements and the exercise of stock options. The Company also has raised funds through the sale of interests in its mineral properties. When acquiring interests in resource properties through purchase or option, the Company issues common shares or a combination of cash and shares to the vendors of the property as consideration for the property in order to conserve its cash. The Company expects that it will continue to operate at a loss for the foreseeable future and will require additional financing to fund the exploration of its existing properties and the acquisition of potential resource properties.

At June 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $426,419 compared to cash of $252,707 for the same period in the prior year. The Company has no off-balance sheet financing. The Company has no long-term debt.

At this time, the Company has no operating revenues, and does not anticipate any operating revenues until the Company is able to find, acquire, place in production, and operate a resource property. Historically, the Company has raised funds through equity financing to fund its operations.

The Company will need to raise additional cash for working capital or other expenses. In addition, as a result of the Company's activities, unanticipated problems or expenses could result and require additional capital requirements, subject to TSX Venture Exchange policies and approvals.

The Company has no assets other than cash deposits and has not pledged any of its assets as security for loans, or otherwise and is not subject to any debt covenants. Management believes the Company does have sufficient working capital at this time to meet its current financial obligations.

Related Party Transactions

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company entered into the following related party transactions:

  • a) The Company incurred management fees of $135,000 (2020 $105,000) to the CEO of the Company.
  • b) The Company incurred management fees of $182,000 (2020 $60,000) to the former Chairman of the Company.
  • c) The Company incurred management fees of $Nil (2020 $13,500) to a director of the Company.
  • d) The Company incurred geological consulting fees of $8,460 (2020 $14,580) paid to a company controlled by a common director of the Company.
  • e) The Company has identified its directors and certain senior officers as its key management personnel and the compensation costs for key management personnel and companies related to them were recorded at their exchange amounts as agreed upon by transacting parties as follows:
June 30, 2021 June 30, 2020
Consulting fees $8,460 $14,580
Management fees $317,000 $178,500

At June 30, 2021, amounts owed to related parties totalled $Nil (September 30, 2020: $267,460) for amounts due to a company controlled by the former CEO, former Chairman, and former director. All amounts payable are noninterest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Nine months ended June 30, 2021 August 30, 2021

In January 2021, debt in the amount of $28,595 due to a company controlled by a director was forgiven resulting in a gain of $28,595. On September 30, 2019, debt in the amount of $90,000 due to companies controlled by the CEO and former Chairman was forgiven resulting in a gain of $90,000.

Critical Accounting Estimates

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 2 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, management is required to make judgments, apart from those requiring estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments applying to the Company's financial statements include:

  • the determination of the Company's ability to continue its operations as a going concern; and
  • the determination of any impairment on the Company's assets.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The Company's management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Estimates and assumptions where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, fair value measurements for financial instruments, the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets, provisions for restoration and environmental obligations and contingent liabilities.

Recently adopted accounting standards:

IFRS 16 Leases

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16, "Leases". This standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and 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. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. This standard substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements of IAS 17, while requiring enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors. Other areas of the lease accounting model have been impacted, including the definition of a lease.

The Company does not have any leases and has determined that the adoption of the above standard has no impact on the financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

1. Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable and trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature. The fair values of marketable securities are based on current bid prices at June 30, 2021.

In evaluating fair value information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates. The use of different market assumptions and valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value presented herein may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.

IFRS requires disclosures about the inputs to fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, including their classification within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement. The three levels of hierarchy are:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Management's Discussion and Analysis Nine months ended June 30, 2021 August 30, 2021

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

As at June 30, 2021, there are $Nil in financial assets at fair value.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, a market-to-market loss of $Nil (2020 - $Nil) for marketable securities designated as available-for-sale has been recognized in other comprehensive income.

There were no financial liabilities at fair value as at June 30, 2021, and August 30, 2021.

  1. Financial instrument risk

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related to risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes:

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of advances made to related parties. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage. Management does not believe that there is significant credit risk arising from these advances. The maximum exposure to loss arising from these advances is equal to their total carrying amounts.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company monitors its ability to meet its short-term exploration and administrative expenditures by raising additional funds through share issuance when required. All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company does not have investments in any asset-backed commercial papers.

(iii) Foreign exchange risk

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk.

(iv) Market risk

(a) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and financial liabilities are not exposed to interest rate risk because they are non-interest bearing.

(c) Commodity price risk

The Company's ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of palladium, nickel, and gold. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of actions to be taken.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, there were no changes to the Company's risk exposure or to the Company's policies for risk management.

Capital Management

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard

Management's Discussion and Analysis Nine months ended June 30, 2021 August 30, 2021

the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and maintain adequate levels of funds to support the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration and evaluation assets such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

The Company considers the items included in shareholders' equity as capital. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company's underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares or sell assets to settle liabilities. The Company has no long-term debt and is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The properties in which the Company currently has an interest in are in the exploration stage, as such, the Company does not recognize revenue from its exploration properties. The Company's historical sources of capital have consisted of the sale of equity securities, loans, advances from related parties and interest income. In order for the Company to carry out planned exploration and development and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its working capital and expects to raise additional amounts externally as needed.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Share Consolidation

On May 29, 2019, the Company consolidated all its issued and outstanding share capital on a one new for ten old basis. All share and per share information has been restated to reflect this consolidation.

Financings

On January 28, 2021, the Company closed a private placement for total gross proceeds of $963,090. The Company issued a total of 10,700,999 units at a price of $0.09 per unit. Each unit contains one common share and one transferrable share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable at a price of $0.12 for a period of two years from the date of issuance.
