MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

This discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operation is prepared as at November 12, 2020 and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (the “Company”). The following disclosure and associated financial statements are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Except as otherwise disclosed, all dollar figures included therein and in the following management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) are quoted in Canadian dollars.

Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A contains certain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to, statements regarding future anticipated exploration programs and the timing thereof, and business and financing plans. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as: believe, expect, anticipate, intend, estimate, postulate and similar expressions, or which by their nature refer to future events. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements by the Company are not guarantees of future performance, and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to identify one or more economic deposits on its properties, to produce minerals from its properties successfully or profitably, to continue its projected growth, to raise the necessary capital or to be fully able to implement its business strategies.

Historical results of operations and trends that may be inferred from this MD&A may not necessarily indicate future results from operations. In particular, the current state of the global securities markets may cause significant reductions in the price of the Company’s securities and render it difficult or impossible for the Company to raise the funds necessary to continue operations.

All of the Company’s public disclosure filings, including its most recent management information circular, material change reports, press releases and other information, may be accessed via www.sedar.com and readers are urged to review these materials, including the technical reports filed with respect to the Company’s mineral properties.

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus, identified as “COVID-19”, as a global pandemic. In order to combat the spread of COVID-19 governments worldwide have enacted emergency measures including travel bans, legally enforced or self-imposed quarantine periods, social distancing and business and organization closures. These measures have caused material disruptions to businesses, governments and other organizations resulting in an economic slowdown and increased volatility in national and global equity and commodity markets. The Company will continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, the duration and impact which is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of any intervention. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operations in future periods.

Company Overview

The Company is a reporting issuer in British Columbia and Alberta and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “KNG” and on the OTCQB under the symbol “TUMIF”. The Company is a junior mineral exploration company primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of precious metals on mineral properties. The Company’s principal office is located at #1305 - 1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3V7.

As of the date of this MD&A, the Company has not earned any production revenue, nor found any proven reserves on any of its properties. On April 21, 2020 the Company completed the sale of an initial 49% ownership interest (the “Initial Interest”) in TMXI to GoGold Resources Inc. (“GoGold”), an arm’s length purchaser, for $316,305

(US $225,000). GoGold also has the option (the “Option”) to acquire the Company’s remaining 51% in TMXI by paying the Company US $210,000 on or before February 18, 2022, subject to acceleration provisions (the “Option Period”). If GoGold does not exercise the Option within the Option Period then the Company may re-purchase GoGold’s Initial Interest for $1. Upon the exercise of the Option the Company will retain a 1% NSR on the La Trini Property, which may then be purchased by the Buyer for US $1,000,000.

TMXI’s sole asset is the La Trini Project. GoGold has agreed to directly fund all expenditures incurred on the La Trini Project and all future costs incurred in TMXI for the duration of the Option Period.

The Company is continuing its reviews and due diligence on prospective acquisition and business opportunities.

Exploration Project

La Trini, Mexico

TMXI holds a 100% interest in five mineral claims (the “La Trini Project”) located in the Hostotipaquillo mining district approximately 100 kilometres northwest of Guadalajara, Jalisco State, Mexico. The La Trini Project covers 880 acres and the mineralization occurs over an area of 400m x 200m.

GoGold plans to develop the mineral resource of the La Trini Project by drilling a series of short holes from surface. A work program was started in early March 2020 and consisted of a geological team carrying out mapping, prospecting and rock sampling programs across the La Trini Project to follow the extensions of the La Trini deposit along strike to the east and west of the historical drilling. The work program was suspended on April 2, 2020, in line with Mexican federal government COVID-19 mandates and restrictions. As the government decreed that mining has been deemed an essential service, GoGold resumed exploration and drilling at the La Trini Project in May 2020. Safety policies and procedures related to COVID-19 will remain in place including increased sanitization, education, symptom monitoring, usage of face masks, and physical distancing.

On August 5, 2020 GoGold announced assay results from the first three holes drilled on the La Trini Project (referred to as “Los Ricos North” by GoGold) and on August 20, 2020 they announced assay results from a further six holes. On September 30, 2020, October 14, 2020, and November 4, 2020, GoGold announced assay results from an additional 34 holes drilled on the La Trini Project. GoGold has now drilled a total of 43 holes on the La Trini Project with encouraging results. See www.gogoldresources.com. GoGold views the “Los Ricos North” (of which La Trini is part of) as a large mineralized system. As of the date of this MD&A, GoGold continues to drill with two drills operating at the La Trini target and four additional drill rigs operating on the Los Ricos North site.
