MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025

This discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operation is prepared as at May 16, 2025 and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (the "Company"). The following disclosure and associated financial statements are presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and Interpretations of the IFRS Committee. 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.sedarplus.ca and readers are urged to review these materials, including the technical reports filed with respect to the Company's mineral properties.

Las Coloradas Project

Kingsmen controls a 100% interest in a group of claims (the “Las Coloradas Project”) located in the Parral Mining District, State of Chihuahua, Mexico.

The project area is located approximately 30 kilometres southeast of the city of Hidalgo de Parral and 40 kilometers east of the mid-Tertiary polymetallic quartz sulfide vein deposits of the San Francisco del Oro and Santa Barbara mining districts which are amongst the largest Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag deposits in Mexico.

Historic mining on a small area of the project by the American Smelting and Refining Company (“ASARCO”) was conducted between 1943 - 1952 with production from the La Soledad, Santo Niño, Eva and Rosario veins. The project area has recently been consolidated and is located within a well-established mining district, with the local communities fully supportive of mining.

The Las Coloradas Project is an underground epithermal, high-grade, narrow-vein, silver-gold copper-lead-zinc project within the Carbonate Replacement Deposits belt of Chihuahua state, Mexico. Outcropping mineralization is hosted by the Mezcalera Lower Cretaceous Formation. The Mezcalera Formation is of similar age and composition to the Parral Formation that hosts the mineralization in the San Francisco del Oro and Santa Barbara districts.

The Company has reported a 1:5,000 scale geological map of the 100% owned Las Coloradas project and its structural control(s) that delivers an excellent understanding of the mineralization in the Soledad and Soledad II structures and their subsidiaries. The flexures, intersecting structures, en echelon veins, and dilation zones control the development and location of individual bodies of mineralization. The currently exposed geology, structures and mineralization are functions of erosion and imperfect exposure. The significant strike length of the Soledad and Soledad II structures indicate the structures will continue at depth with the potential for high grade silver mineralization. The structures have not been tested/explored at depth, to-date. The mineralized structures may go to significant depths as in the San Francisco del Oro and Santa Barbara district where mineralized structures persist to depths of 800 meters. In addition, the Company also acquired ground magnetic coverage of the project area. The detailed magnetic geophysical information will provide guidance for expanding the mineralization.

Three important areas of mineralization are currently recognized on the Soledad structures. The first is at the southeast end of the Soledad structure, in the area of the Rosario and Soledad shafts, where highlights of the sampling include 2 > 500 g/t silver, 4 > 400 g/t silver and 9 > 100 g/t silver. The second important area is the cluster of old workings at the northwest end of the Soledad II structure where highlights of the sampling include 1 > 400 g/t silver, 1 > 300 g/t silver, 1 > 200 g/t silver and 1 > 100 g/t silver. The third important area is the cluster of old workings in the NW part of the Soledad structure where highlights of the sampling include 1 > 400 g/t silver, 1 > 300 g/t silver, 1 > 200 g/t silver and 1 > 100 g/t silver. None of these areas have been drill tested.

In March 2025 the Company received results from the recent 3D induced polarization resistivity (“3D IP”) survey conducted over approximately 1/3 of the Las Coloradas Project area. The 3D IP survey both confirmed and further defined additional key targets.

The on-going field programs along with the technical data have expanded our understanding of the deposit. As of the date of this MD&A, the Company is moving forward with its diamond drill program, with crews in the field, spotting holes and preparing drill pads. The drill program will be focused on the Soledad and Soledad II structures/vein systems where surface sampling of residual mineralization in historic workings and the historic past producing underground Las Coloradas mine has yielded significant silver grades and, locally, anomalous gold values.

Qualified Person

The scientific and technical disclosure in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Kieran Downes, Ph.D., P. Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Downes is a Director of the Company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 ("Q1/2025") the Company reported a net loss of $195,985 compared to a net loss of $442,561 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 ("Q4/2024"), a decrease in loss of $246,576. The decrease in loss was primarily due to a $253,626 decrease in general and administrative expenses, from $457,684 in Q4/2024 to $204,058 in Q1/2025 primarily due to share-based compensation of $304,200 recorded in Q4/2024 on the granting of 4,000,000 share options. No share options were granted in Q1/2025.

Financial Condition / Capital Resources

As at March 31, 2025 the Company had working capital in the amount of $852,325. Although management considers that the Company has adequate resources to maintain its core operations, make option or property payments as required, conduct planned exploration programs on its existing exploration and evaluation assets and discharge its obligations as they become due in the next twelve months, the Company recognizes that exploration expenditures may change with ongoing results and, as a result, it may be required to obtain additional financing. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.

On April 15, 2025 the Company announced a non-brokered private placement financing of up to 2,100,000 units as a price of $0.72 per unit, to raise up to $1,512,000. Each unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $1.05 per share for a period of two years from closing. As at May 14, 2025 the Company has received $176,765 for this private placement.

Contractual Commitments

Other than its property agreements, the Company has no other contractual commitments. See "Las Coloradas Project".

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Proposed Transactions

The Company has no proposed transactions.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Examples of significant estimates made by management include estimating the fair values of financial instruments, valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets and assumptions used for share-based compensation. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

A detailed summary of the Company's critical accounting estimates and sources of estimation is included in Note 3 to the December 31, 2024 audited annual consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Accounting Policies

There were no changes in accounting policies.

A detailed summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in Note 3 to the December 31, 2024 audited annual consolidated financial statements.
