All subscription funds received by the Agent will be held in trust, pending the closing of the Offering (the “ Closing ”). It is expected that the Closing will take place on or about ◆, 2023 or such other date as the Company and the Agent may agree, but in any event, on or before a date that is not later than 90 days after the date of the receipt for the (final) prospectus (the date on which Closing occurs being the “ Closing Date ”), or if a receipt has been issued for an amendment to the final prospectus within 90 days of the issuance of such a receipt and in any event, not later than 180 days from the date of the receipt for the final prospectus.

33228040v1

minimum amount of funds is not raised within the distribution period, the Agent must return the funds to the subscribers without any deduction.

SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Except as otherwise disclosed, scientific and technical information relating to the mineral claims located in British Columbia, Omineca Mining Division (the “ Boer Property ” or the “ Property ”) contained in this Prospectus is derived from, and in some instances is a direct extract from, and based on the assumptions, qualifications and procedures set out in, the technical report entitled “National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Boer Property” with an effective date of June 27, 2022, (the “ Boer Property Technical Report ”). Derrick Strickland, P.Geo. (the “ Author ”), reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information relating to the Boer Property contained in this Prospectus and is a “qualified person” and

11

33228040v1

“independent” of the Company within the meanings of NI 43-101. Reference should be made to the full text of the Boer Property Technical Report, which is available for review under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

MARKETING MATERIALS

Any “template version” of any “marketing materials” (as such terms are defined in National Instrument 41-101 – General Prospectus Requirements ) that are utilized by the Agent in connection with the Offering will be incorporated by reference into the (final) prospectus to which this Prospectus relates. However, any such “template version” of “marketing materials” will not form part of the (final) prospectus to the extent that the contents of the “template version” of “marketing materials” are modified or superseded by a statement contained in the (final) prospectus. Any “template version” of “marketing materials” filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR after the date of the (final) prospectus and before the termination of the distribution under the Offering (including any amendments to, or an amended version of, any “template version” of any “marketing materials”) will be deemed to be incorporated into the (final) prospectus.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of MLT Aikins LLP, legal counsel to the Company, based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and the Regulations, the Common Shares, at any particular time, will be qualified investments for trusts governed by a Registered Plan, provided that at such particular time the Common Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the CSE) or the Company qualifies as a “public corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act).

The Common Shares are not currently listed on a "designated stock exchange" and the Company is not currently a "public corporation", as that term is defined in the Tax Act. The published administrative position of the Canada Revenue Agency is that a share will only be considered to be listed on a designated stock exchange for purposes of the qualified investment rules when such listing is full and unconditional, and that a mere approval or conditional approval is insufficient. The Company has advised that it intends to apply to list the Common Shares on the CSE as of the day before the Closing of the Offering, followed by an immediate halt in trading of the Common Shares in order to allow the Company to satisfy the conditions of the CSE and to have the Common Shares listed and posted for trading prior to the issuance of the Common Shares on the Closing of the Offering. The Company must rely on the CSE to list the Common Shares on the CSE and have them posted for trading prior to the issuance of the Common Shares on the Closing of the Offering and to otherwise proceed in such manner as may be required to result in the Common Shares being listed on the CSE at the time of their issuance on Closing. There can be no assurance that the Common Shares will be fully and unconditionally listed (if at all) on the CSE or on any other designated stock exchange, as of Closing.

If the Common Shares are not listed on the CSE at the time of their issuance on the Closing of the Offering and the Company is not a "public corporation" at that time, the Common Shares will not be qualified investments for the Registered Plans at that time. Should the Common Shares be acquired or held by a Registered Plan at a time when such shares do not constitute a qualified investment for the Registered Plan, adverse tax consequences not described herein are expected to arise for the Registered Plan, the annuitant, holder or subscriber thereunder, including that the Registered Plan, deferred profit sharing plan, or the controlling individual thereof may be subject to penalty taxes. The rules governing such consequences are complex and will differ between particular Registered Plans.

Notwithstanding that the Common Shares may be qualified investments, the holder of, subscriber or annuitant under, a Registered Plan (the “ Controlling Individual ”) will be subject to a penalty tax in respect of the Common Shares acquired by the Registered Plan if such securities are a prohibited investment for the particular Registered Plan. A Common Share generally will be a “prohibited investment” for a Registered Plan if the Controlling Individual does not deal at arm’s length with the Company for the purposes of the Tax Act or the Controlling Individual has a “significant interest” (as defined in subsection 207.01(4) the Tax

12

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT AND BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

General Development of the Company

History

The Company was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on February 2, 2022. Since its inception, the Company has completed private placement financings, raising a total of $280,001 through the sale of Common Shares. The funds have been used to complete the Company’s business to date and to cover the costs associated with the Offering.

On March 3, 2022, the Company entered into the Boer Property Option Agreement with the Optionor. The Optionor is an arm’s length party to the Company. Effective March 20, 2023, the Boer Property Option Agreement was amended to add an additional mineral tenure to the Boer Property. See “ General Development of the Company – Property Agreements ”.

During the period from incorporation on February 2, 2022 to March 31, 2023, the Company incurred $126,101 in exploration expenditures and acquisitions costs relating to the Boer Property.

Property Agreement

Boer Property Option Agreement

On March 3, 2022, the Company entered into the Boer Property Option Agreement with the Optionor. The Optionor is at arm’s length to the Company. Effective March 20, 2023, the Boer Property Option Agreement was amended to add an additional mineral tenure to the Boer Property. Pursuant to the Boer Property Option Agreement, the Optionor granted the Company the exclusive right and option to earn and acquire in two stages up to a 75% interest in British Columbia mineral tenure numbers 1091372, 1091378, 1091380 and 1093884 (cumulatively, 1,586.96 hectares), subject to the Optionor retaining a 2% NSR royalty. These mineral tenures are located in the Omineca Mining Division in British Columbia and comprise the Boer Property.

To exercise the First Option, whereby the Company may acquire a 51% interest in the Boer Property, the Company was required to pay $5,000 in cash (paid) and issue to the Optionor an aggregate of 100,000 Common Shares (issued) with a deemed issuance price of $0.02 per Common Share. The Company exercised the First Option on March 3, 2022.

To exercise the Second Option, whereby the Company may acquire an additional 24% interest in the Boer Property, the Company must pay the Optionors $10,000 in cash (paid), issue the Optionors 100,000 Common Shares on or before the date that is six months from the initial listing of the Company’s

19

33228040v1

shares on an “Exchange”, as such term is defined in the Boer Property Option Agreement, and incur an aggregate of $200,000 in eligible exploration expenditures in accordance with the following schedule:

Completion Date Cash Common Shares Expenditures
On or before March 3,
2023
$10,000
(paid)
-- $75,000 (completed)
On or before six
months from
completion of the
listing onthe CSE
-- 100,000 --
On or before the first
anniversary of the
listing onthe CSE
-- -- $125,000
**Total ** $10,000 100,000 $200,000

Upon exercise of the Second Option, the Company will acquire in aggregate a 75% interest in the Boer Property, subject to:

  • the Optionor retaining a 2% NSR royalty, of which the Company may repurchase, within thirty days of such election by Maclaren, an aggregate 1% NSR royalty at any time within three years of the “Commencement of Commercial Production”, defined in the Boer Property Option Agreement as being the first day after at least thirty (30) consecutive days of operating any portion of the Boer Property as a producing mine and the production of mineral products therefrom (excluding bulk sampling, pilot plant or test operations) for a cash payment of $500,000 if either the First Option and Second Option is exercised; and

  • the Parties being deemed to have formed a joint venture for the purposes of continued exploration of the Boer Property. The Parties will make reasonable commercial efforts, acting in good faith, to negotiate and execute a joint venture agreement regarding the Boer Property on terms typically found in agreements of that nature within 60 days of exercise of the Second Option. In the event the Parties cannot reach agreement on the terms of the joint venture, such additional terms may be set by an arbitrator pursuant to the terms of the Boer Property Option Agreement.

The Company exercised the First Option on March 3, 2022. All further cash payments, Common Share issuances and exploration expenditure requirements under the Boer Property Option Agreement required to exercise the Second Option are at the sole discretion of the Company. If the Company does not exercise the Second Option and terminates the Boer Property Option Agreement, the Company will retain no interest in the Boer Property and the interest earned through exercise of the First Option will revert to the Optionor.

Business of the Company

Principal Operations

The principal business of the Company is the exploration and development of mineral properties in British Columbia. The Company has an interest in four mineral claims in British Columbia, which claim comprises the Boer Property. The Boer Property is the mineral project material to the Company for the purposes of NI 43-101.

20

33228040v1

Competitive Conditions

The Company’s primary business is the exploration and development of mineral properties, with a primary focus on multi-mineral exploration in British Columbia. The Company has made every effort to create a competitive advantage through its selection of management and technical team. In particular, the Company’s CEO and technical team provide local geological expertise and a deep understanding of the social, environmental and logistical needs of working in British Columbia.

The exploration industry is competitive, and the Company competes with many exploration and mining companies possessing similar or greater financial and technical resources for the acquisition of mineral claims and other mineral interests. The Company also competes with other exploration and mining companies and other third parties for equipment and supplies in connection with its exploration activities, as well as for skilled and experienced personnel. See “ Risk Factors – Risks and Other Considerations Related to the Company - The mining industry is intensely competitive ”.

Specialized Skills and Knowledge

The nature of the Company’s business requires specialized skills, knowledge and technical expertise in the areas of geology, environmental compliance, and mineral resource estimation and economic assessment. In addition to the specialized skills listed above, the Company also relies on staff members, contractors and consultants with specialized knowledge of logistics and operations in British Columbia and local community relations. In order to attract and retain personnel with the specialized skills and knowledge required for the Company’s operations, the Company maintains competitive remuneration and compensation packages. To date, the Company has been able to meet its staffing requirements.

Social and Environmental Policies

The Company places great emphasis on providing a safe and secure working environment for all of its contractors and consultants, and recognizes the importance of operating in a sustainable manner. The Company has adopted the Code, that sets out the standards which guide the conduct of its business and the behavior of its directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Code, among other things, sets out standards in areas relating to the Company’s commitment to health and safety in its business operations and the identification, elimination or control of workplace hazards; promotion and provision of a work environment in which individuals are treated with respect, provided with equal opportunity and is free of all forms of discrimination and abusive and harassing conduct; and ethical business conduct and legal compliance.

MATERIAL PROPERTY

Boer Property

Except as otherwise disclosed, scientific and technical information relating to the Boer Property contained in this Prospectus is derived from, and in some instances is a direct extract from, and based on the assumptions, qualifications and procedures set out in the Boer Property Technical Report entitled “ National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Boer Property ” with an effective date and signature date of June 27, 2022. Such assumptions, qualifications and procedures are not fully described in this Prospectus and the following summary does not purport to be a complete summary of the Boer Property Technical Report. Reference should be made to the full text of the Boer Property Technical Report, which is available for review under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Property Description and Location

The Boer Property is located within Omineca Mining District Division of British Columbia Division and consists of four non-surveyed contiguous mineral claims totalling 1,586.96 hectares located on NTS maps 093K/05 centered at 54.26° North Latitude -125.57° West Longitude.

33228040v1

village of Burns Lake and is access i via Hwy 16 (The Yellowhead Highway), 20 km east of Burns Lake, then north on the Augier mainline logging road. At Km 3 turn left on to the Co-op Main Road.

Mineral Tenure

The Boer Property covers 1,586.96 hectares and is comprised of 4 mineral claims, as listed below in Table 1 and shown in Figure 2. Except for small areas in the extreme western and southwestern parts of the claims, the Property is underlain by Crown land. Areas of the Property with privately held surface rights are illustrated in Figure 3.

Table 1: Boer Property Mineral Claims

Tenure Number **Title Type ** Good To Date Area(Ha)
1091378 Mineral 2028/DEC24 302.18
1091380 Mineral 2028/DEC24 434.58
1091372 Mineral 2028/DEC24 472.31
1093884 Mineral 2028/DEC24 377.89
Total 1,586.96

The above claims are 100% owned by Nicholas Rodway. Maclaren can, by way of a March 3, 2022 agreement with Mr. Rodway, and amended March 20, 2023, acquire a 75% undivided interest in the claims in exchange for aggregate payments of $15,000 cash, 200,000 shares and by incurring $200,000 in exploration expenditure on the Property. The agreement comprises a First Option, under which the company has earned a 51% interest in the Property in exchange for a $5,000 cash payment (paid) and issuance of 100,000 shares on signing (issued). The Second Option allows the company to earn an additional 24% interest in the Property in exchange for payment of $10,000 (paid) and 100,000 shares (on or before six months from listing of the company). The Second Option also calls for staged exploration expenditures totaling $200,000, with $75,000 in expenditures due within 1 year of the agreement (completed), and a further $125,000 in expenditures within 1 year of listing of the company. The agreement is subject to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) in favour of Mr. Rodway, of which Maclaren can purchase one half (1% NSR) in exchange for payment of $500,000.

Mineral claims within the province of British Columbia require assessment work (such as geological mapping, geochemical or geophysical surveys, diamond drilling) be completed each year to maintain title to the ground. Annual work commitments are determined by a 4 tier structure, as follows:

$5.00 per hectare for claims in anniversary years 1 & 2 $10.00 per hectare for claims in anniversary years 3 & 4 $15.00 per hectare for claims in anniversary years 5 & 6 $20.00 per hectare for claims in subsequent anniversary years

Work in excess of the annual requirement may be credited towards future years. In lieu of assessment work, cash payments can be made to maintain title. To encourage exploration work, cash-in-lieu-of requirements have been set at twice the requirement for assessment work (i.e. $10 per hectare in years 1 and 2, etc.). Under filing regulations, Portable Assessment Credits (PAC) which have been accrued from work completed anywhere in the province but are excess to assessment obligations at the time of filing, may be used to satisfy up to 30% of the annual expenditure requirement.

The 2022 work program on the Property by Maclaren (described in Section 9 of the Boer Property Technical Report (or see “ Exploration”) ) has been filed for assessment purposes. All of the claims now require the maximum annual expenditure requirement ($20/ha) to record additional work, or a total amount of $30,739 per year.

Permitting and Environmental Liabilities

Permits from the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation (EMLI) are required for any exploration or development work that involves mechanized ground disturbance. No such work can commence without prior approval. Reclamation bonds are required before final permit approval is granted, with bonding commensurate with the amount of disturbance.

An important component of the permitting process, and of successful project operation anywhere in Canada, is meaningful First Nations engagement. There are no Indian Reserves in the vicinity of the Property. BC’s Consultative Area Database (CAD) provides contact information for First Nations who may have aboriginal interests within the query area. The CAD identifies 12 First Nation groups with possible interests in the Property area, including the Shuswap, Little Shuswap, Tk’emlups, Skeetchesn and Adams Lake Indian Bands, the Splats’in and Simpcw First Nations, and 5 member communities of the Okanagan Nation Alliance (the Okanagan, Upper Nicola, Osoyoos, Penticton and Lower Similkameen Indian Bands). Each of these First Nations is given the opportunity to review the permit application and to outline any concerns regarding how the proposed work may impact their interests.

Proximity to any parks or special use areas can also impact the ability to successfully permit exploration and mining operations within Canada.

There are no other known significant factors or risks that may affect access, title or the right or ability to perform work on the Property.

Maclaren does not currently hold a Notice of Work permit for the Property.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

The Property is 9 km north east of Burns Lake. Property access is via Hwy 16 (The Yellowhead Highway), 20 km east of Burns Lake, then north on the Augier mainline logging road. At Km 3 turn left on to the Coop Main Road. The centre of the Property, at the Boer Breccia, is at km 13.5 on the Co-op Main Road. The western third of the Property is accessed via the Mercury Road at 5.3 km north of Burns Lake on the Babine Lake main. The Property topography is gentle relief typical of the B.C. Interior Plateau, and has been extensively clear-cut logged. The Property is located near excellent infrastructure including the resource Village of Burns Lake, and related highways, grid power, natural gas pipeline and airport. There has been clear-cut logging conducted within the Boer claims.

25

33228040v1

Supplies and services are available in the nearby Village of Burns Lake, B.C. The area is well served by regional infrastructure including a paved airstrip, heliport, mainline highways, rail (CNR), grid power (BC Hydro), natural gas (Pacific Northern Gas Ltd.) and an extensive logging road network. Active logging in and near the Boer property by Burns Lake Community Forest Ltd., based in Burns Lake B.C.

Climate is typical of the Interior Plateau with a cool continental climate (MacIntyre, 2012). Short, warm and moist summers are combined with temperatures often reaching 30⁰C. Winters can reach temperatures of - 10⁰ C, with extremes sometimes at -40 ⁰C. Precipitation is relatively low being in the east-side rain shadow of the Coast Range Mountains. Precipitation is mainly in the form of snow with average annual accumulation of between 1.0 and 2.0 m.

The Boer property is located within the Sub-Boreal Spruce bioclimatic zone of British Columbia. It extends along the highlands of the Nechako and Quesnel plateaus and the Fraser Basin, with long forested sections into the valley bottoms of mountainous areas to the north, east, and west. The rolling landscape of the SubBoreal Spruce zone is covered in coniferous forest. The dominant coniferous species are hybrid white spruce, subalpine fir, and occasionally, black spruce, along with Lodgepole pine and occasionally Douglas fir in addition, large sections of the pine forest have recently been affected by mountain pine beetle infestation.

Several major lakes and rivers are located in this zone, including the Skeena, Bulkley, Fraser, Babine, and Nechako, as well as lakes such as Stuart, Francois, Burns, Trembleur, and the Nation Lakes.

The claims are within the heavily glaciated Interior Plateau (ice direction from west to east) with gently rolling relief and abundant creeks and small lakes. The Boer Property has low to modest relief wit elevations ranging from 1,000 to 1,370 m above mean sea level over an area of 9,730 hectares. Most of the drainage on the Property is from north to south into the Endako River system; minor drainage is to the north into the Babine River system.

The Property is extensively covered with thin veneer of glacial till, estimated to be largely less than 2 m thick, and with less than one percent outcrop exposure. Ice direction was from west to east.

History

The Boer property is a grass roots mineral exploration prospect that has no recorded mineral exploration prior 2015 Regional geoscience surveys have been conducted by governments over the area of the property since the early 1960’s, stimulated at that time by the development of the large Endako open-pit molybdenum mine in1965, 40 km to the southeast of the Boer.

The area of the Property has seen very little historical exploration. Armstrong (1965) reported a gold occurrence in the northwestern corner of the Property and a molybdenum showing north of the Property.

The B.C. and Federal governments’ Airborne Magnetic Survey, 1967 and 1968, over the Burns Lake region shows several magnetic anomalies in the areas now covered by the Boer property (refer to MapPlace and to GSC Magnetic Maps for Sheets 93K/04 (5303G) and 93K/05 (5306G).

Lodgepole Pine outer bark sampling in the till covered region of BC’s central interior was first investigated by Colin Dunn in 1991 in the vicinity of Mt. Milligan (Dunn et al, 1996). This work was expanded by the BC Geological Survey in the area of the Blackwater Davidson gold deposit (Dunn et al, 2010). In both cases, the pine bark geochemical results were anomalous over the known mineralization.

Quest West Project

Geoscience BC launched the QUEST-West Project in June 2008. The project is intended to help to identify the mineral potential of over 40,000 square kilometers from Vanderhoof and Fort St. James to Terrace and Kitimat. The Regional Districts of Bulkley-Nechako and Kitimat-Stikine, Northern Development Initiative

26

33228040v1

Trust and the BC Geological Survey (Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources) are partners with Geoscience BC on this project.

QUEST-West included two airborne geophysical surveys, a ground geochemical survey and additional geoscience data compilation.

The QUEST-West airborne gravity survey covers an area of over 40,000 square kilometers, and includes the communities of Vanderhoof, Fraser Lake, Burns Lake, Topley, Granisle, Houston, Telkwa, Smithers, Terrace and Kitimat. This area is significantly affected by the infestation of the Mountain Pine Beetle. The QUEST-West Project is designed to stimulate exploration industry interest and investment in the area, and develop economic diversification opportunities for the communities in this region.

Geoscience BC has initiated a contract with Sander Geophysics Limited of Ottawa, Ontario to undertake over 23,000 line-kilometres of airborne gravity surveying at 2 km line spacing over the main QUEST West area plus the Babine-Takla lakes area extension. The gravity surveys help to identify different rock types and structures in the region that will aid the exploration industry in identifying promising areas for more intensive exploration.

A total of 25,499 line-km of airborne gravity was collected by Sander Geophysics Limited on behalf of Geoscience BC and partners: the Northern Development Initiative Trust, the Regional District of Bulkley Nechako and the Regional District of Kitimat Stikine.

Geoscience BC Report 2009-11 reported results from an in-fill lake and stream sediment and water geochemical survey, which includes a total of 905 lake sediment and water samples and 102 stream sediment and water samples. Combined with previous survey work, the resulting average sample site density is one site per 7 square kilometer over the 14 500 square kilometer survey area. The report includes survey descriptions and details regarding methods, field and analytical data listings, summary statistics, sample location and geology maps, and proportional symbol maps for each element. Raw digital data files have been included in XLS and DBF formats.

2012 Exploration Program

The 2012 exploration program consisted of prospecting and sampling of rocks, silts and soils in an effort to determine the source of the metals ‐ in ‐ lake ‐ sediment anomalies identified by recent government surveys. There were 62 sites examined resulting in 14 rocks, 6 silt and 4 soil samples sent to ACME Analytical Laboratories (Vancouver) Ltd

Within the Property, the Boer Breccia occurrence is a hydrothermal to magmatic breccia that includes coarse fragments of aplite and andesite in a matrix of granite. The breccia is a 90 m x 20 m exposure located on a small topographic high that probably is caused by silicification of the local rocks, making them resistant to erosion. It is mineralized with abundant finely disseminated pyrite and contains 182.4 ppm Mo, 279.5 ppm Cu and 3.4 ppm Ag. A second mineral occurrence, the LA Zone, consists of two angular pieces of float that are believed to be close to source. The samples are of a veined and polymictic breccia mineralized with up to 10%disseminated pyrite in fragments and matrix. The two samples averaged 0.548 gpt Au, 11.7 gpt Ag and 0.121% Mo. These samples could represent very high-level porphyry mineralization or epithermal mineralization overlying a buried porphyry system.

2013 Exploration Program

The 2013 exploration program consisted of biogeochemical surveys, drilling and geological work in an effort to: (1) determine the sources of: (a) the metals ‐ in ‐ lake ‐ sediment anomalies identified by recent government and Geoscience BC surveys, and (b) sources of metals ‐ in ‐ vegetation (ashed Lodgepole pine outer bark) ‐ identified by Colin Dunn in his GSB Open File Report No. 2001 09, and (2) to follow up on the 2012 Boer Breccia discovery.

Following a successful 2013 pine bark sample program on the Property that involved the collection of 31 pine bark samples on the current property configuration.

Approximately 80 gm of sample was collected at each site to fill a kraft soil sample bag and to provide at least 2 gm of ashed material for analysis. Analyses were carried out at Met-Solve Analytical Services Inc. of Langley, BC, using the same procedures employed by Dunn (1996), including ashing of the sample (prep code PRP-999) followed by ultra-trace level ICP-MS/AES (analysis code MS-330). Complete results and analytical method are shown in Appendix

In addition to the large Lodgepole pine outer bark survey over the Boer property in 2013 a small White Spruce outer bark survey was done over and adjacent to the Boer Breccia. No Lodgepole pine was available to sample in the area around the Boer Breccia. Note that White Spruce has a very different metal up take (metabolism) than Lodgepole pine so assay results cannot be reasonably compared between these species.

‐ ‐ In August 2013 a 26.6-meter-long vertical core hole (B13 1) was drilled in rock adjacent to the Boer Breccia showing at UTM NAD 83 Zone10N: 332751mE/6015018mN. A total of four core samples were sent for analysis with no significant results reported. (Figure 4 and Figure 5).

The geology in the drillhole indicated a multiphase intrusive system is present which supported the findings of outcrop sampling in the area in 2012.

2014 Exploration Program

The 2014 exploration program included prospecting, rock sampling, including field petrographic descriptions and assaying, till geochemical sampling and 32 pine bark biogeochemical samples, extending the successful 2013 program.

33228040v1

On July 4th and 5th, 2014, 17 augers till samples were collected from depths between 5 and 80 cm. Sampling was carried out along the uphill sides of road cuts and the gas pipeline right-of-way. The resulted in the definition of four high priority target areas of which two are on the current property configuration (Target B and Target C, see Figure 6).

The survey produced anomalous metal values, but the anomalies tended to be lower in strength and in contrast when compared with the pine bark results. Results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn. The highest Cu and Mo values, 115.1 ppm and 4.13 ppm respectively, are from the same sample site, approximately one km south of the LA Zone and in the area of some of the most anomalous pine bark samples within Target B. The highest Pb anomaly, 45.2 ppm, was collected adjacent to the Boer Breccia.

Target B: This target is anomalous in all metals shown in the figures and is focused at the east end of the north line, with weaker anomalous values on the adjacent south line. Target C: This is a single point anomaly on the south line, 900 m west of Boer Breccia. In addition to the highest Mo value on the survey, 14.3 ppm, it is anomalous in Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn and As. As and Zn are also weakly anomalous in nearby samples.

Target B

Target B contains both the Boer Breccia and LA showings. It is also the most complex anomaly, with a strong Ag, Au, Cu, Zn, Fe and As signature with minor anomalous Cd, Mo and Pb. It covers a large area, approximately 2 by 2.5 km. As discussed above under mineralization, the LA and Boer Breccia showings suggest that the source of this anomaly is hydrothermal, related to intrusive activity, possibly epithermal or high-level porphyry mineralization.

Target C

Target C is predominantly a north-south trending gold anomaly with supporting, but not necessarily coincident values in Cd, Cu, As and Zn. Interestingly, Cd and Zn do not correlate strongly, as might normally be expected. The anomaly is approximately 1.5 by 2 km in size. The highest-grade silver value, 35.6 gpt Ag (float – silicified and argillic altered intrusive with disseminated pyrite), was collected from the northern part of this target area

2015 Exploration Program

2015 exploration program included prospecting, the collection of 9 rock samples involved the collection of 91 soil samples on 50 m centres along two east-west lines spaced 200 m apart.

Soil Sampling and prospecting was carried out on two east-west lines, approximately 2,500 m in length and roughly centred on the Boer Breccia. Soil samples were collected, wherever possible, at 50 m centres along each line. Locations were determined using a Garmin GPS. Samples were collected from the B soil horizon using a 30-inch GeoTool and a small hand auger.

No strong anomalies were defined by the soil survey. Given the relative thickness of till in the area, estimated to be mainly less than 5 m, and the general success of soil geochemical surveys on other properties in this part of British Columbia, it is suggested that the areal extent or intensity of any subcropping mineralization beneath the two soil lines is limited. The broader anomalies defined by more regional surveys, particular in silver and molybdenum, but also copper and other metals.

Geological Setting and Mineralization

Geological Setting

Geology in the Boer Property region consists of: 1) a Mississippian to Triassic Cache Creek Group oceanic volcanic and sedimentary assemblage 2) the Upper Triassic dominantly mafic volcanic Takla Group 3) the Lower o Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group mafic to felsic volcanic and sedimentary rocks 4) the Upper Cretaceous to Lower Tertiary Ootsa Lake Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks and 5) the Oligocene and Miocene Endako Group. The region has been intruded by the Lower Jurassic quartz monzonite to granodiorite Topley Intrusive Suite, Upper Jurassic plutons of the Francois Lake Suite and plugs and stocks related to Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary volcanism.

The Property is located in the Interior Plateau of British Columbia, within the Intermontane Belt, late Paleozoic to late Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic rocks belonging to the Stikine, Cache Creek and Quesnel Terranes. The Yalakom and Fraser Fault systems bound the Interior Plateau to the southwest and northeast, respectively. The Property lies within eastern edge of the Stikine Terrane, near its boundary with the Cache Creek Terrane and immediately south of the Skeena Arch. Strata of the Stikine Terrane in central British Columbia include late Paleozoic to Tertiary Island and continental margin arc assemblages and epicontinental sedimentary sequences.

The oldest stratigraphic assemblages consist of Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic Island arc volcanics of the basaltic Stuhini Group and calc-alkaline Hazelton Group (Diakow et al. 1997). These rocks were intruded by the mainly Jurassic Topley plutonic rocks, including the Endako Batholith, and experienced at least two distinct cycles of uplift, erosion and related sediment deposition. These extensive sedimentary deposits include Upper Jurassic black mudstone, chert pebble conglomerate, and sandstone of the Bowser Lake Group (Ashman Formation) and the overlying Lower Cretaceous Skeena Group.

Rocks of the Hazelton and Bowser Lake groups are overlain by Upper Cretaceous and Paleocene continental volcanic arc intermediate volcanic rocks and related sedimentary rocks of the Kasalka Group (Diakow et al. 1997). Widespread Eocene volcanic arc related extensional felsic volcanic rocks and minor sedimentary rocks of the Ootsa Lake Group overlie the older rocks and are themselves overlain on higher ridges by basalt and andesite of the Eocene Endako Group (Diakow et al. 1997).

The Endako Batholith is the key geologic feature of the area, underlying much of the claim group and extending for almost 100 km in a northwestern direction, with a width of up to 40 km. It is a composite batholith that comprises five temporally distinct plutonic suites, only one of which is mineralized. These plutonic suites include early foliated hornblende ± biotite diorites, intermediate-age unfoliated hornblende ± biotite diorites, and late granodiorites to monzogranites. The youngest phases host the Endako molybdenite deposit.

Data presented by Villeneuve et al, (2001) and Whalen et al (2001) show that the batholith had a lengthy emplacement history, covering approximately 75 million years (Ma) old, with evidence for periods of magmatic quiescence between the major plutonic phases. The oldest magmatic suite of the Endako batholith, the Stern Creek suite, is dated at 220 Ma and comprises foliated gabbros and diorites.

Younger volcanic rocks and related sub-volcanic intrusives are also important from an economic geology perspective and include the Upper Cretaceous andesitic Kasalka Group, the felsic Ootsa Lake Group (both deposited in caldera environments and associated with granodiorite stocks and plugs of Quanchus and Bulkley Intrusions) and basaltic Eocene to Oligocene Endako Group. The Kasalka Group has been interpreted as the host to New Gold’s Blackwater Davidson deposit, 40 km to the south, as well as the nearby Capoose deposit. The structural elements of the Nechako Plateau area are part of a regional Tertiary extensional system that extends 1000 kilometres from northern Washington State, into the Babine district of north-central British Columbia. This belt crosses all major terrane boundaries and underlies the Quesnel, Kootenay and Omineca Terranes in the south and the Stikine Terrane in the north, crossing the oceanic Cache Creek Group. In the Endako area, Lowe et al (2001) describe most of the observed faults being related to significant Tertiary transtensional deformation, with north to northeast-trending extensional

33

33228040v1

faults and northwest trending strike-slip faults. The localization of epithermal mineralization such as at Blackwater Davidson and Capoose may be related to such structures.

Reader Caution: The qualified person has not verified the information on the adjacent properties nor mineralization found on adjacent and/or geologically similar properties which is not necessarily indicative of mineralization found on the Property.

Property Geology

The Property, as shown by the B.C. Geological Survey’s digital data, is underlain mainly by granodioritic intrusive rocks of the Endako Batholith (Figure 8). Significantly, this suite is the same that hosts the Endako molybdenum porphyry deposit, 40 km to the southeast. The Boer plutonic phase is cut and overlain to a minor extent in the southern eastern part of the Property by andesitic volcanic rocks of the Eoceneto Oligocene Endako Formation, belonging Stag Lake Plutonic Suite specifically the Tintagel Phase of the plutonic rocks

Glacial till cover over the Property is extensive, leaving less than 1% outcrop exposure. No recent mapping has been carried out on the Property. Intrusive rocks, ranging from their field descriptions of granite to monzonite and quartz monzonite, are most likely plutonic rocks. Feldspar hornblende porphyry may be younger phases of the same intrusive suite. Three samples of mafic volcanic were collected and these may be Endako Formation rocks. It should be noted that these samples were collected by prospectors, in many cases because of observed alteration or mineralization, and so they may not be typical of the main bedrock lithologies within the Property.

Regional distribution of the Topley rocks stretches from Babine Lake to Quesnel, a distance of about 288 kilometers along a regional northwesterly trend. These are differentiated (composite) intrusives in which granite, quartz monzonite, granodiorite, quartz diorite and diorite have been identified. The geology at the Boer property consists of mainly Topley intrusives (from granite to diorite to gabbro) that are covered in several areas by younger (Jurassic, Cretaceous, Eocene and Oligocene) volcanics. These volcanics vary in composition from andesite to basalt. There is no detailed geology available for the Boer property as there has never been any work reported by industry (no assessment reports filed).

Mineralization

The Boer Breccia occurrence is a hydrothermal to magmatic breccia that includes coarse fragments of aplite and andesite in a matrix of granite. The breccia is a 90 m x 20 m exposure located on a small topographic high that probably is caused by silicification of the local rocks, making them resistant to erosion. It is mineralized with abundant finely disseminated pyrite and contains 182.4 ppm Mo, 279.5 ppm Cu and 3.4 ppm Ag. A second mineral occurrence, the LA Zone, consists of two angular pieces of float that are believed to be close to source. The samples are of a veined and polymictic breccia mineralized with up to 10% disseminated pyrite in fragments and matrix. The two samples averaged 0.548 gpt Au, 11.7 gpt Ag and 0.121% Mo. These samples could represent very high-level porphyry mineralization or epithermal mineralization overlying a buried porphyry system.

The second breccia discovery, the LA Zone, consists of two angular pieces of float that are believed to be close to source. They were discovered during follow up prospecting in the vicinity of Target C as defined mainly by anomalous pine bark geochemistry results. The sample was had multiple veining and brecciation events in a polymictic, hydrothermal breccia, mineralized with up to 10% disseminated pyrite in fragments and matrix. Her interpretation is that the sample could represent very high-level porphyry mineralization or epithermal mineralization overlying a buried porphyry system.

Deposit Types

Porphyry copper systems are characterised by extensive zones of hydrothermally altered rock (>10 km[3] ) centred on porphyritic-textured intrusions with felsic to intermediate composition (Sillitoe, 2010). Copper mineralization typically occurs as copper sulphide minerals disseminated in the altered wall rock and in closely spaced veinlets that occupy a smaller portion of the hydrothermal alteration zone. Post-mineral exhumation, weathering, and mobilization of primary copper mineralization may result in supergene enriched zones located above primary copper sulphide (hypogene) mineralization. Alteration and mineralization commonly form mappable zones based on silicate and sulphide mineral assemblages observed in outcrop and drill core. The majority of copper is deposited during potassic alteration, which forms early in the evolution of the porphyry system.

Porphyry systems are related to calc-alkaline porphyry complexes consisting of multiple intrusion phases emplaced during mineralization that is associated with a sequence of hydrothermal alteration and veining. Porphyritic intrusions range in composition from granite to diorite. Economic grades are often controlled by emplacement of fertile intrusions at or near structural zones and/or intersections. The best grades typically occur in the uppermost sections of these intrusions, where strong hydrofracturing related to depressurization of a hydrothermal fluid phase produces hydrothermal brecciation, as well as at or near the contacts with other rock types, often coincide with the best grades. Host rock type, the amount of early-formed, sulphide-bearing veinlets, and proximity to early-mineral porphyritic intrusions are the main controls on intensity of primary copper mineralization. Dilution by syn-mineral dikes and stocks intruded late in the mineralization cycle and strong overprinting by sericite-pyrite alteration causes reduction in copper grades.

Oxidation of primary sulphides generated in porphyry systems results in circulation of acidic waters above mineralized systems. This later event has a twofold effect on porphyry deposits: it leaches rocks of all or most of the sulphides they contained above the water table; and copper rich solutions re-deposit as enriched copper sulphides at or below the water table. Common sulphides found here are chalcocite, covellite and digenite. Occasionally, native copper will deposit on rocks with insignificant amounts of sulphur, such as young barren dykes. These enrichment zones (or “blankets”) tend to behave as flat zones often parallel to topography. Above the secondary enrichment zone, altered rock often shows no geochemical signature due to intense leaching of all copper-bearing primary sulphides. Thus, typical Andean porphyries have a leached upper zone, an enriched supergene blanket, and a much larger mineralized, albeit at lower grades, primary (or hypogene) zone at depth.

Fluctuating water tables often result in subsequent oxidation of enrichment blankets. Common copper oxide minerals found in these zones are malachite, chrysocolla and brochantite. Occasionally, these copper oxides re-deposit some distance away from the main mineralization to form “exotic” copper deposits.

38

33228040v1

Porphyry deposits develop alteration zones distributed in time and space. Commonly documented alteration zones are: potassic, propylitic, phyllic, and sodic. Additionally, argillic, intermediate argillic and calc-sodic alteration are described in some examples. A central potassic alteration core surrounded by an outer propylitic zone normally forms early and is overprinted by phyllic and less commonly, argillic alteration.

Other deposit styles associated with porphyry copper deposits (spatially and genetically) include epithermal quartz veins and disseminated precious metal deposits, lead-zinc-silver veins and replacements, and skarns. A schematic model for porphyry deposits with respect to other styles of mineralization is shown in Figure below.

Exploration

Maclaren in 2022 collected Three hundred and eighty soil samples were taken from two grids named the Boer and LA grids. The Boer Grid was centered on the Boer Minfile location and the LA Grid was centered on the LA Minfile location. Four rock samples were collected of three were send for petrographic analysis. In addition, the Company undertook 28.5-line kilometers of Total field magnetometer ground geophysics on two separated grids, on the Boer and LA showings.

Soils

Two hundred and eighty-one soil samples were taken on the Boer Grid and ninety-nine samples were taken on the LA Grid. (Figures 11 to Figure 13)

The sample lines and locations were located in the field by GPS. Locations were marked on 25-to-50meter centers in the field with blue and orange flagging marking the site location. The sample number was marked using an indelible felt marker on the blue flag (32800E, 14500N). The grid lines are located 50 to 100 meters apart and are 1000 meters in length on the Boer grid and 50 meters apart and 500 meters in length on the LA Grid.

Samples stations were located on 25-meter centers on the lines immediately proximal to the Boer showing with sample stations 50 meters apart on lines 200 meters away from the Boer Showing area. Samples are 50 meters apart on the LA grid lines. Samples were taken using a long-bladed spade and spoon from the “B” horizon at depths of approximately 25 to 45 cm.

Figure 11 illustrates gold in soil for the Boer and LA grids. The LA grid has two anomalous samples in gold 750 ppb and 262 ppb from the ICP data. The fire assay data from the samples are 10 ppb and 11 ppb respectively. The assay lab states that the ICP data for gold is for information purposes only and to rely on the fire assay. It is unclear why a such a discrepancy in the values. These two should be re assayed in its entirety, for clarity.

Figure 12 illustrates copper in soils for both grids. On the LA grid there are three copper values over 70 ppm copper and one is coincident with the high ICP gold value.

Figure 13 illustrates silver in soils in both grids. There are weak anomalous values on both grids.

Mo- Elevated molybdenum values in soil occur exclusively on the Boer grid located approximately 100-300 meters north, west, east and south of the Boer breccia occurrence. Molybdenum is a mobile element, and given the thick glacial till and considerable travel distance (from west to east) in the area, it would be anticipated that molybdenum is a difficult element to vector a source area for the soil anomaly.

Ag- Elevated silver values in soil reflect the areas of known rock chip samples with above average Ag content. Both Boer and LA grid have areas that contain >1 ppm Ag in soil at or near the rock chip sample showings as well as peripheral areas. The elevated silver in soils are considered high priority exploration follow-up targets. The Boer silver results indicate three east-west trending anomalies are sub-parallel to the creeks in the grid area. Th LA grid silver results show a poorly defined east-west and north-south trend. The LA grid area covers a large ledge between 1,200-1,240 meters elevation and the ledge appears to contain the best geochemical silver values.

Au- Gold content using Au ICP shows a well-defined anomaly in the northwest portion of the LA grid. This Au anomaly appears to trend northwest, and there may be a sub-parallel Au in soil poorly defined zone located 200 meters south of the well-defined Au in soil. The fire assay Au values were generally low, suggesting that low detection limits of gold are present in all soil samples.

41

33228040v1

Cu- Copper values are <106 ppm Cu. Elevated copper correlates with silver.

Zn- Zinc values are slightly higher on the Boer grid than the LA grid. Elevated zinc values are widely distributed and correlate poorly with elevated Cu-Ag. Zinc (like molybdenum and manganese) are mobile elements and are difficult to use as vector to source.

As- Arsenic values are slightly higher on the Boer grid than the LA grid. Elevated arsenic values are widely distributed on the Boer and LA grids and correlates moderately with Cu-Ag.

Rock Samples

Four rock samples were taken on the subject property during the 2022 exploration program. Rock sample locations were marked in the field with orange and blue flagging tape with the respective sample ID (907151) imprinted on the blue flag. Data such as the NAD 83 UTM location along with a description which includes site characteristics, sample type, lithology, alteration, and mineralization were recorded. (Figure 14).

The resultant assays from the four rock samples are congruent with what was sampled previously at the Boer Mineral showing.

The samples were then photographed, placed in marked poly bags, zap-strapped, and shipped to Activation Laboratories located on Dallas Road in Kamloops, BC for 1A2-Fire Assay and 1E3-ICP analysis.

Samples B22P-01, 02, & 03 that were submitted for petrographic description are from the Boer Breccia Zone. The 3 rock samples consist primarily of albite-quartz-sericite (fine grain muscovite), with minor pyriteankerite-limonite with trace disseminated galena and chalcopyrite in sample B22P-02 quartz (minor carbonate-ankerite). There is significant brecciation and coarse grain early quartz, and fine grain late quartz, as well as muscovite (sericite), and K-feldspar (adularia). The petrographic descriptions identified breccia textures that exhibit a poorly defined matrix, quartz of probable secondary origin forming subhedral crystals hard to distinguish from those in the granitic clasts, however they appear to be breccia clasts of felsic, quartz-feldspar phyric porphyry and granitic rocks, altered to phyllic assemblage of quartz-sericitealbite-minor carbonate-pyrite-rutile, in poorly defined matrix of quartz-carbonate-sericite-minor pyrite-rutile. The poor definition of breccia texture (in thin section) suggests the clasts were subjected to milling (physical movement resulting in milled flour formed by comminution of felsic, quartz-feldspar phyric porphyry, and granitic rock clasts), and late-phase texture destroying silica-clay alteration. Quartz-sericite-pyritecarbonate mineral assemblages present in all 3 petrographic samples suggests the original textures have been affected (’flooded’) by strong phyllic alteration, which is commonly found peripheral to the core area of porphyry systems.

Galena and chalcopyrite mineralization present in sample B22P-02 occurs in the fine grain quartzcarbonate matrix. Clasts in all 3 petrographic samples are silicified and clay altered, but base metal mineralization is not present in the felsic, quartz-feldspar phyric porphyry, and granitic rock clasts.

Petrographics

Three petrographic rock samples (B-22 P-01 to P-03) were taken from areas of known mineralization within the Boer Showing area. These samples were analyzed by Vancouver Petrographic. (Figure).

B22-P01: appears to be breccia: clasts of felsic, quartz-feldspar phyric porphyry and granitic rocks, altered to phyllic assemblage of quartz-sericite-albite-minor carbonate-pyrite-rutile, in poorly defined matrix of quartz-carbonate-sericite-minor pyrite-rutile.

B22-P02: breccia: clasts of finely trachytic feldspar phyric volcanic, hypabyssal and possible granitic rocks, disrupted and altered to albite-sericite-chlorite-carbonate-quartz-rutile, in poorly defined matrix of ankeritic carbonate-quartz-sericite-minor pyrite-galena-chalcopyrite-rutile.

42

33228040v1

B22-P03: appears to be breccia: clasts of possible granitic rocks, disrupted and altered to albite-sericitequartz ±Fe-carbonate-rutile, in poorly defined matrix of quartz-sericite/muscovite (after albite/mafics?)minor Fe carbonate/pyrite (both oxidized to limonite)-rutile.

Geophysics

The Company engaged the services of Scott Geophysics Ltd to undertake 28.5-line kilometers of Total field magnetometer ground geophysics on two separated grids (Figure and Figure). Between February 18 to February 22 2022, 21.367-line kilometers were done over the Boer showing and 7.134-line kilometers over the LA showing area. The Total Magnetic and First Vertical Derivative both show small anomalies that are generally restricted to one line and a several station readings

GPS readings were simultaneously recorded with each reading. GPS readings with fewer than 6 satellites visible were filtered out and the reading locations were interpolated.

Total field and GPS readings were taken with GEM GSM-19 Overhauser magnetometers. The fixed base station was a Scintrex ENVI Proton Precession magnetometer. GPS readings not on magnetometer stations were taken with a Garmin GPSMap GPS receiver. No other parameters were provided in the logistical report provided by Scott Geophysics Ltd

Based on the data collection points for the ground geophysical data, it is clear a walking magnetometer was used to collect the data.

Moderate to strong (200-1,000 nT) magnetometer anomalies are present on the Boer and LA grids. The Boer and LA grids positive anomalies reflect an increase in magnetite content (and related increase in silicification and K-feldspar/albite alteration). The Boer grid shows three northwest trending clusters of positive magnetometer readings. The positive anomalies on the Boer grid are located approximately 200400 meters east and northwest of the Boer Breccia. These are important anomalies as they may identify increased magnetite content which is related to base and precious metal mineral occurrences. The positive magnetometer anomalies about 200-300 meters east of the Boer Breccia showing coincides locally with a conspicuous radial drainage pattern. The LA grid magnetometer survey has several poorly defined positive anomalies that identify increased magnetite content. It is difficult to assess the trend of the LA grid magnetometer survey, and the magnetometer positive anomalies correlate poorly with Cu-Ag soil geochemistry.

First derivative results plotted give a shallower depth effect giving more detail of near surface magnetic effects. The results of first derivative magnetics are similar to total field, suggesting vertical continuity of magnetics to depth.

Drilling

Maclaren Minerals Ltd. has not performed drilling on the Property. Any drilling on the current Property configuration is in the History Section of this report.

Sampling Preparation, Analyses and Security

In 2022, three hundred eighty samples were taken from two grids named the Boer and LA grids. The Boer Grid was centered on the Boer Minfile location and the LA Grid was centered on the LA Minfile location.

Two hundred and eighty-one soil samples were taken on the Boer Grid and ninety-nine samples were taken on the LA Grid.

The sample lines and locations were located in the field by GPS. Locations were marked on 25-to-50meter centers in the field with blue and orange flagging marking the site location. The sample number was marked using an indelible felt marker on the blue flag (32800E, 14500N). The grid lines are located 50 to 100 meters apart and are 1000 meters in length on the Boer grid and 50 meters apart and 500 meters in length on the LA Grid.

Samples stations were located on 25-meter centers on the lines immediately proximal to the Boer showing with sample stations 50 meters apart on lines 200 meters away from the Boer Showing area. Samples are 50 meters apart on the LA grid lines. Samples were taken using a long-bladed spade and spoon from the “B” horizon at depths of approximately 25 to 45 cm.

Material derived from the “B” Horizon was placed in Kraft sample bags marked with the last five digits of the UTM location (B-22 32800E, 14500N). Samples were then placed in marked poly bags, zapped strapped, placed in rice bags, zap-strapped, and shipped to Activation Laboratories located on Dallas Road in Kamloops, BC for 1A2-Fire Assay and 1E3-ICP analysis.

Three petrographic rock samples (B-22 P-01 to P-03) were taken from areas of known mineralization within the Boer Showing area. These samples were analyzed by Vancouver Petrographics.

Four rock samples were taken on the subject property during the 2022 exploration program. Rock sample locations were marked in the field with orange and blue flagging tape with the respective sample ID (B-22 907151) imprinted on the blue flag. Data such as the NAD 83 UTM location along with a description which includes site characteristics, sample type, lithology, alteration, and mineralization were recorded.

The samples were then photographed, placed in marked poly bags, zap-strapped, and shipped to Activation Laboratories located on Dallas Road in Kamloops, BC for 1A2-Fire Assay and 1E3-ICP analysis.

The samples were dried and placed in marked poly bags which were then zap-strapped, placed in marked rice bags, double zap-strapped, and couriered to Activation Laboratories located on Dallas Drive in Kamloops, BC (an accredited laboratory ISO/IEC 17025). Activation Laboratories is independent from the Company.

The Hubco silt sample bags were then placed in marked poly bags which were then placed in rice bags, zap strapped, and couriered to Activation Laboratories located on Dallas Drive in Kamloops, BC.

For the present study, the sample preparation, security and analytical procedures used by the laboratories are considered adequate. No officers, directors, employees or associates of Maclaren Minerals Ltd. were involved in sample preparation. The samples are considered to be representative of the dominant mineralization type expected on the Boer Property.

Much of the historical work undertaken on the Boer property appears to have been done the industry standard of the time. Based on the review of the most recent work the author would recommend that any future exploration program include a QA/QC component.

Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

This is an early-stage exploration project and to date no metallurgical testing has been undertaken.

Mineral Resource Estimates

This is an early-stage exploration project; there are currently no mineral resources estimated for the Boer Property.

Adjacent Properties

The Boer Property does not have any properties directly adjacent to its claim boundaries.

Other Relevant Data and Information

There author is not aware of any other relevant information on the Boer Property.

Interpretations and Conclusions

The Property is located in the Interior Plateau of British Columbia, within the Intermontane Belt, late Paleozoic to late Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic rocks belonging to the Stikine, Cache Creek and Quesnel Terranes. The Property lies within eastern edge of the Stikine Terrane, near its boundary with the

51

33228040v1

Cache Creek Terrane and immediately south of the Skeena Arch. Strata of the Stikine Terrane in central British Columbia include late Paleozoic to Tertiary Island and continental margin arc assemblages and epicontinental sedimentary sequences. These rocks have been intruded by the Endako Batholith, which underlies much of the claim group and extends for almost 100 km in a northwestern direction, with a width of up to 40 km. These intrusive rocks are associated with many showings and deposits in the area: The youngest phases host the Endako molybdenum operation.

Glacial till cover over the Property is extensive, leaving less than 1% outcrop exposure. No recent mapping has been carried out on the Property. Intrusive rocks, ranging from their field descriptions of granite to monzonite and quartz monzonite, are most likely plutonic rocks. Feldspar hornblende porphyry may be younger phases of the same intrusive suite. Three samples of mafic volcanic were collected and these may be Endako Formation rocks.

The first mineral discovery made on the Property was August 9, 2012, by John Chapman and Brian Remanda at kilometer 13.2 on the Co ‐ op Main logging road, ~12km northeast of Burns Lake. It is a 90m x 20m hydrothermal breccia.

Within the Property, the Boer Breccia occurrence is a hydrothermal to magmatic breccia that includes coarse fragments of aplite and andesite in a matrix of granite. The breccia is a 90 m x 20 m exposure located on a small topographic high that probably is caused by silicification of the local rocks, making them resistant to erosion. It is mineralized with abundant finely disseminated pyrite and contains 182.4 ppm Mo, 279.5 ppm Cu and 3.4 ppm Ag. A second mineral occurrence, the LA Zone, consists of two angular pieces of float that are believed to be close to source. The samples are of a veined and polymictic breccia mineralized with up to 10% disseminated pyrite in fragments and matrix. The two samples averaged 0.548 gpt Au, 11.7 gpt Ag and 0.121% Mo. These samples could represent very high-level porphyry mineralization or epithermal mineralization overlying a buried porphyry system.

The current and past work programs of illustrated that near surface exploration techniques provide a glimpse potential buried mineralization on the property. The author agrees with previous operators that Boer Breccia occurrence maybe indicative of a larger system that is not exposed at surface. Future exploration programs should focus on the use of expanded geochemical surveys and deep penetrating geophysical techniques, such and Induced Polarization or Magnetotellurics.

Recommendations

In the qualified person’s opinion, the character of the Boer Property is sufficient to merit the following work program:

Increase the property size to extend to the south east to cover the historical anomaly “A”

The next stage of exploration recommended for the Property includes an expansion of the bark sampling program and a Magnetotellurics Survey over the Boer and LA grid areas and over anomaly “A” if staked. The survey would consist of minimum of 40 stations over the areas of interest. Hopefully zones of high resistivity, representing potential silicified zones will be identified.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming the Agent’s Option is not exercised, the net proceeds to the Company from the Offering will be $221,500, after deducting the Agent’s Fee of $35,000, the balance of the CF Fee in the amount of $23,500 (including taxes) and estimated remaining expenses of the Offering of $70,000. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had estimated working capital of $38,500. When combined with the net proceeds of the Offering, the Company anticipates having $260,000 in available funds.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering (i) to fund exploration and development activities on the Boer Property; (ii) to complete the work program recommended pursuant to the Boer Property Technical Report (see “ Boer Property Technical Report – Recommendations ”), and (iii) for general and administrative purposes, option payments and working capital requirements, as indicated in the following table:

Principal Purposes Available funds
Completing the work program recommended pursuant to the Boer Property $116,080
Technical Report
General and administrative costs $90,000
Unallocated working Capital $53,920
Total $260,000

The Company’s anticipated general and administrative costs are outlined in the table below.

Accounting and Audit Fees $25,000(1)
Legal Fees $10,000
Office Rent and Miscellaneous $15,000
Management Fee and Admin $36,000(2)
Transfer agent $4,000
Total $90,000

(1) Includes fees payable to Nancy Kawazoe for accounting services provided. See “Executive Compensation”.

(2) Includes management fees payable to a company controlled by Gary Musil. See “Executive Compensation”.

33228040v1

Unutilized net proceeds of the Offering, if any, will be invested by the Company in an interest-bearing account with a major Canadian bank and used for working capital requirements. While the Company intends to spend the net proceeds from the Offering as stated above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, funds may be re-allocated at the discretion of the Board or management. See “ Risk Factors – Risks and Other Considerations Related to the CompanyThe Company may not use the proceeds from the Offering as described in this Prospectus ”.

Proceeds raised pursuant to the exercise of the Agent’s Option up to a maximum of $52,500, if any, are intended to be allocated to general and administrative purposes and working capital requirements.

The Company is an exploration stage company and has not generated cash flow from operations. As at June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the Company had negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company expects to continue to incur negative operating cash flow and losses for the foreseeable future. To the extent that the Company has negative operating cash flow in future periods, it will need to allocate a portion of its cash (including proceeds from the Offering) to fund such negative cash flow. If the Company experiences future negative cash flow, the Company may also be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities. As at June 30, 2022, the Company had working capital in the amount of $87,189. Since that date, the Company has had changes in its working capital as a result of the following: accrued management fees, payment made in respect of the Boer Property and accounting and miscellaneous expenses related to the Offering. See “Risk Factors”.

Business Objectives and Milestones

The primary business objectives that the Company expects to accomplish by using the net proceeds from the Offering are to conduct explorations program on the Boer Property as set out in the Boer Property Technical Report.

The Company expects to begin work recommended pursuant to the Boer Property Technical Report during the late summer and autumn of 2023. The net proceeds of the Offering allocated to the work program are expected to advance the work program to completion, which is also expected during the late summer and autumn of 2023 (see “ Boer Property – Recommendations ”).

While there are currently no COVID- 19 related travel restrictions in place in British Columbia which recommend against non-essential travel within British Columbia, these travel restrictions may be reimposed in the future. If re-imposed, any potential travel restrictions may impact upon the ability of qualified personnel to travel to the Boer Property in order to conduct the recommended work program. In addition, there is a risk that more restrictive COVID-19 related travel restrictions may be imposed in the future that may further impact on the ability of the Company to complete the work program at the Boer Property. At present, the Company does not anticipate any COVID-19 related delays in completing its work program at the Boer Property. Management of the Company intends to monitor all COVID-19 related restrictions and revise the Company’s objectives as may be necessary.

The Company has made payments of $15,000 to the Optionor and incurred $109,101 in exploration expenditures in order to maintain the Boer Property Option Agreement.

54

33228040v1

The net proceeds of the Offering will allow the Company to complete the recommended exploration program on the Boer Property. The net proceeds of the Offering will likely not be sufficient to fund all future exploration on the Boer Property should the Company elect to proceed. In that case, the Company will need to raise further funds. There is no assurance that the Company will elect to proceed with further exploration of the Boer Property or that the Company will be successful in raising the required funds or at all. Should the Company not elect to proceed, the Company will evaluate its strategic alternatives, including pursuing further activities in mineral exploration and development. (See Risk Factors - The Company may not be able to obtain sufficient financing to pursue all of its intended exploration activities or continue on a going concern basis. )

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Offering consists of 3,500,000 Offered Shares at a price of $0.10 per Offered Share. In addition, the Offering includes up to an additional 525,000 Offered Shares issuable upon the Agent’s exercise of the Agent’s Option in full. The Offered Shares will be sold to the public on the Closing Date pursuant to the Agency Agreement. For a summary of the material attributes and characteristics of the Offered Shares and certain rights attaching thereto, see “ Description of Securities Being Distributed ”.

Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the Company has appointed the Agent to offer for sale to the public, on a best efforts basis, an aggregate of 3,500,000 Offered Shares (assuming the Agent’s Option is not exercised) at the Offering Price for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $350,000, subject to compliance with all legal requirements and the terms and conditions contained in the Agency Agreement.

The Offering Price has been determined by arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Agent, in accordance with the policies of the CSE, and may bear no relationship to the price that will prevail in the public market.

The Company has granted the Agent the Agent’s Option, exercisable, in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the Agent, at any time up to two days prior to the Closing Date, to offer up to 525,000 Agent’s Option Shares for sale to the public at a price per Agent’s Option Share equal to the Offering Price. If the Agent exercises the Agent’s Option in full, the gross proceeds raised under the Offering will be $402,500, the Agent’s Fee will be $40,250, and the net proceeds to the Company will be $362,250 (before deducting expenses of the Offering). This Prospectus qualifies the grant of the Agent’s Option and the distribution of the Agent’s Option Shares.

The obligations of the Agent under the Agency Agreement are subject to certain closing conditions, and may be terminated at the Agent’s discretion at any time before Closing on the basis of “material change out”, “market out”, “disaster out”, “regulatory out” “breach out”, and “due diligence out” clauses in the Agency Agreement, in addition to termination upon the occurrence of certain other stated events. As the Agent has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Offered Shares, the Agent is not obligated to purchase any Offered Shares not sold under the Offering. The Company has agreed in the Agency Agreement to indemnify the Agent and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, partners and shareholders against certain liabilities and expenses or will contribute to payments that the Agent or such other parties may be required to make in respect thereof.

In consideration for the Agent’s services in connection with the Offering, the Agency Agreement provides that the Company will pay the Agent’s Fee to the Agent, which is equal to 10% of the gross proceeds of those Offered Shares sold pursuant to the Offering. In addition, the Agent will receive the CF Fee of $34,000 (plus tax), of which $23,500 will be paid in cash and $10,500 through the issuance of 105,000 CF Fee Shares on completion of the Offering. The CF Fee Shares are not qualified for distribution by this Prospectus. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay the Agent’s legal expenses in connection with the Offering, to a maximum of $20,000 (plus taxes and disbursements). The Company has paid the Agent a retainer of $10,000 to be applied against such expenses.

In connection with the Offering, the Company has agreed to grant the Broker Warrants to the Agent, exercisable to acquire in aggregate that number of Broker Warrant Shares as is equal to 10% of the

55

33228040v1

aggregate number of Offered Shares issued pursuant to the Offering at the Offering Price for a period of 24 months following their date of issue. This Prospectus qualifies the grant of the Broker Warrants.

Subscriptions for the Offered Shares will be received subject to rejection or allotment, in whole or in part, and the Agent reserves the right to close the subscription books at any time without notice. All subscription funds received by the Agent will be held in trust, pending the Closing. It is expected that the Closing will take place on or about or such other date as the Company and the Agent may agree, but in any event, on or before a date that is not later than 90 days after the date of the receipt for the final prospectus, or if a receipt has been issued for an amendment to the final prospectus within 90 days of the issuance of such receipt and in any event, not later than 180 days from the date of the receipt for the final prospectus.

The Offered Shares are being offered for sale to the public in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta

by way of this Prospectus.

There is currently no market through which the Offered Shares may be sold, and purchasers may not be able to resell the Offered Shares purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Offered Shares in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Offered Shares, and the extent of issuer regulation. See “ Risk Factors ”.

The Company has applied to list its Common Shares on the CSE. Listing is subject to the Company’s fulfilling all of the requirements of the CSE.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company does not have any of its securities listed or quoted, has not applied to list or quote any of its securities and does not intend to apply to list or quote any of its securities on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc., a U.S. marketplace, or a marketplace outside Canada and the United States of America (other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchanged or the PLUS markets operated by PLUS Markets Group PLC).

It is anticipated that the Company will arrange for one or more instant deposits of the Offered Shares issued and sold hereunder with CDS or its nominee through the non-certificated inventory system administered by CDS on the Closing Date, or will otherwise duly and validly deliver the Offered Shares as directed by the Agent on the Closing Date. Except in limited circumstances, no certificates will be issued to purchasers of the Offered Shares and a purchaser will receive only a customer confirmation from a registered dealer that is a CDS participant and from or through which the Offered Shares are purchased.

The Offered Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any securities laws of any state of the United States, and may not be offered or sold within the United States except in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any Offered Shares in the United States.

The minimum funds to be raised in respect of the Offering is $350,000. The Agent will hold in trust all funds received from the subscriptions until the minimum amount of funds of $350,000 has been raised. If this minimum amount of funds is not raised within the distribution period, the Agent must return the funds to the subscribers without any deduction.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Attached to this Prospectus as Appendix “C” are the management’s discussion and analysis for the period from incorporation on February 2, 2022 and ended June 30, 2022 and for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2023.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES BEING DISTRIBUTED

The Company’s Authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value. As at the date hereof, there are 10,200,001 Common Shares issued and outstanding and 700,000 Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding Options. See “ Options to Purchase Securities ” below.

Common Shares

All of the Common Shares rank equally as to voting rights, participation in a distribution of the assets of the Company on a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company and entitlement to any dividends declared by the Company. The holders of the Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, all meetings of shareholders (other than meetings at which only holders of another class or series of shares are entitled to vote). Each Common Share carries the right to one vote. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, the holders of the Common Shares will be entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all of the assets remaining after the payment by the Company of all of its liabilities. The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the Board in respect of the Common Shares on a pro rata basis. The Common Shares do not have pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or exchange rights and are not subject to redemption, retraction, purchase for cancellation or surrender provisions. There are no sinking or purchase fund provisions, no provisions permitting or restricting the issuance of additional securities or any other material restrictions, and there are no provisions which are capable of requiring a security holder to contribute additional capital. For a description of the Company’s dividend policy, see “ Dividend Poli c y ”.

DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company has not, since the date of its incorporation, declared or paid any dividends or other distributions on the Common Shares, and does not currently have a policy with respect to the payment of dividends or other distributions. The Company does not currently pay dividends and is not likely to pay dividends for an extended period of time as the Company does not have near term prospects of generating

57

33228040v1

revenue. The declaration and payment of any dividends in the future is at the discretion of the Board and will depend on a number of factors, including compliance with applicable laws, financial performance, working capital requirements of the Company and such other factors as its directors consider appropriate. There can be no assurance that the Company will pay dividends under any circumstances. See “ Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Offered Shares – The Company is not likely to pay dividends for an extended period of time ”.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company had 10,200,001 Common Shares issued and outstanding. On completion of the Offering, the Company will have 13,805,001 Common Shares issued and outstanding including the issuance of the CF Fee Shares (16,300,001 Common Shares issued and outstanding if the Agent’s Option is exercised in full).

The following table sets forth the share capitalization of the Company as at the date of this Prospectus on an actual basis and on a pro forma basis as adjusted to give effect to the completion of the Offering.

Summary of the Equity Incentive Plan

Purpose

The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to, among other things: (i) provide the Company with an equityrelated mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, including its subsidiaries, (ii) reward directors, officers, employees and consultants that have been granted awards under the Equity Incentive Plan for their contributions toward the long-term goals and success of the Company, and (iii) enable and encourage such directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire Common Shares as long-term investments in the Company.

The Equity Incentive Plan allows the Company to grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of incentive stock options (“ Options ”), restricted share units (“ RSUs ”), performance share units (“ PSUs ”) and deferred share units (“ DSUs ”), as described in further detail below. The following is a summary of the Equity Incentive Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Equity Incentive Plan. In the case of conflict between this summary and the Equity Incentive Plan, the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan will govern.

Shares Subject to the Equity Incentive Plan

The Equity Incentive Plan is a rolling plan which, subject to the adjustment provisions provided for therein (including a subdivision or consolidation of Shares), provides that the aggregate maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan shall not exceed 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares from time to time. The Equity Incentive Plan is considered an “evergreen” plan, since the Shares covered by awards which have been exercised, settled or terminated shall be available for subsequent grants under the Equity Incentive Plan and the number of awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases.

Administration of the Equity Incentive Plan

The Plan Administrator (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) is determined by the Board, and is initially the Board. The Equity Incentive Plan may in the future continue to be administered by the Board itself or delegated to a committee of the Board. The Plan Administrator determines which directors, officers, consultants and employees are eligible to receive awards under the Equity Incentive Plan, the time or times at which awards may be granted, the conditions under which awards may be granted or forfeited to the Company, the number of Shares to be covered by any award, the exercise price of any award, whether restrictions or limitations are to be imposed on the Shares issuable pursuant to grants of any award, and the nature of any such restrictions or limitations, any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, or waiver of termination regarding any award, based on such factors as the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator may determine. In addition, the Plan Administrator interprets the Equity Incentive Plan and may adopt guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the Equity Incentive Plan, and make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the Equity Incentive Plan.

Eligibility

All directors, officers, employees and consultants are eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan. The extent to which any such individual is entitled to receive a grant of an award pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan will be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator.

Types of Awards

Awards of Options, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs may be made under the Equity Incentive Plan. All of the awards described below are subject to the conditions, limitations, restrictions, exercise price, vesting, settlement and forfeiture provisions determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, subject to such

59

33228040v1

limitations provided in the Equity Incentive Plan, and will generally be evidenced by an award agreement. In addition, subject to the limitations provided in the Equity Incentive Plan and in accordance with applicable law, the Plan Administrator may accelerate or defer the vesting or payment of awards, cancel or modify outstanding awards, and waive any condition imposed with respect to awards or Shares issued pursuant to awards.

Options

An Option entitles a holder thereof to purchase a prescribed number of treasury Shares at an exercise price set at the time of the grant. The Plan Administrator will establish the exercise price at the time each Option is granted, which exercise price must in all cases be the greater of the closing market price of the Shares on (i) the trading day prior to the date of grant and (ii) the date of grant, and as otherwise required pursuant to the policies of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (the “ Market Price ”), unless otherwise permitted by applicable securities laws or the policies of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. Subject to any accelerated termination as set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan, each Option expires on its respective expiry date, provided such expiry date does not exceed 10 years. The Plan Administrator will have the authority to determine the vesting terms applicable to grants of Options. Once an Option becomes vested, it shall remain vested and shall be exercisable until expiration or termination of the Option, unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator or as otherwise set forth in any written employment agreement, award agreement or other written agreement between the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and the participant. The Plan Administrator has the right to accelerate the date upon which any Option becomes exercisable. The Plan Administrator may provide at the time of granting an Option that the exercise of that Option is subject to restrictions, in addition to those specified in the Equity Incentive Plan, such as vesting conditions relating to the attainment of specified performance goals. Unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator at the time of granting an Option and set forth in the particular award agreement, an exercise notice must be accompanied by payment of the exercise price. Subject to the policies of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed, a participant may, in lieu of exercising an Option pursuant to an exercise notice, elect to surrender such Option to the Company (a “Cashless Exercise ”) in consideration for an amount from the Company equal to (i) the Market Price of the Common Shares issuable on the exercise of such Option (or portion thereof) as of the date such Option (or portion thereof) is exercised, less (ii) the aggregate exercise price of the Option (or portion thereof) surrendered relating to such Shares (the “ In-the-Money Amount ”) by written notice to the Company indicating the number of Options such participant wishes to exercise using the Cashless Exercise, and such other information that the Company may require. Subject to the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and the policies of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed, the Company will satisfy payment of the Inthe-Money Amount by delivering to the participant such number of Shares having a fair market value equal to the In-the-Money Amount.

Restricted Share Units

An RSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company which entitles the holder to receive one Share (or the value thereof) for each RSU after a specified vesting period. The Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant RSUs to any participant in respect of a bonus or similar payment in respect of services rendered by the applicable participant in a taxation year (the “ RSU Service Year ”).

The number of RSUs (including fractional RSUs) granted at any particular time under the Equity Incentive Plan will be calculated by dividing (a) the amount of any bonus or similar payment that is to be paid in RSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (b) the greater of (i) the Market Price of a Share on the date of grant and (ii) such amount as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to determine any vesting terms applicable to the grant of RSUs, provided that the terms comply with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, to the extent applicable. Upon settlement, holders will redeem each vested RSU for the following at the election of such holder but subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator: (a) one fully paid and nonassessable Share in respect of each vested RSU, (b) a cash payment or (c) a combination of Shares and cash. Any such cash

60

33228040v1

payments made by the Company shall be calculated by multiplying the number of RSUs to be redeemed for cash by the Market Price per Share as at the settlement date. Subject to the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and except as otherwise provided in an award agreement, no settlement date for any RSU shall occur, and no Share shall be issued or cash payment shall be made in respect of any RSU any later than the final business day of the third calendar year following the applicable RSU Service Year.

Performance Share Units

A PSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company, which entitles the holder to receive one Share (or the value thereof) for each PSU after specific performance-based vesting criteria determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, have been satisfied. The performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any PSUs granted, the effect of termination of a participant’s service and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any PSU will be determined by the Plan Administrator and by the other terms and conditions of any PSU, all as set forth in the applicable award agreement. The Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant PSUs to any participant in respect of a bonus or similar payment in respect of services rendered by the applicable participant in a taxation year (the “ PSU Service Year ”). The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to determine any vesting terms applicable to the grant of PSUs. Upon settlement, holders will redeem each vested PSU for the following at the election of such holder but subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator: (a) one fully paid and non-assessable Common Share in respect of each vested PSU, (b) a cash payment, or (c) a combination of Shares and cash. Any such cash payments made by the Company to a participant shall be calculated by multiplying the number of PSUs to be redeemed for cash by the Market Price per Share as at the settlement date. Subject to the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and except as otherwise provided in an award agreement, no settlement date for any PSU shall occur, and no Share shall be issued or cash payment shall be made in respect of any PSU any later than the final business day of the third calendar year following the applicable PSU Service Year.

Deferred Share Units

A DSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company which entitles the holder to receive one Share (or, at the election of the holder and subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, the cash value thereof) for each DSU on a future date. The Board may fix from time to time a portion of the total compensation (including annual retainer) paid by the Company to a director in a calendar year for service on the Board (the “ Director Fees ”) that are to be payable in the form of DSUs. In addition, each director is given, subject to the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan, the right to elect to receive a portion of the cash Director Fees owing to them in the form of DSUs. Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set forth in the particular award agreement, DSUs shall vest immediately upon grant. The number of DSUs (including fractional DSUs) granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing (a) the amount of Director Fees that are to be paid in DSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (b) the Market Price of a Share on the date of grant. Upon settlement, holders will redeem each vested DSU for: (a) one fully paid and non-assessable Share issued from treasury in respect of each vested DSU, or (b) at the election of the holder and subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, a cash payment on the date of settlement. Any cash payments made under the Equity Incentive Plan by the Company to a participant in respect of DSUs to be redeemed for cash shall be calculated by multiplying the number of DSUs to be redeemed for cash by the Market Price per Share as at the settlement date.

Dividend Equivalents

Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set forth in the particular award agreement, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs shall be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, as applicable, as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Shares. Dividend equivalents shall vest in proportion to, and settle in the same manner as, the awards to which they relate. Such dividend equivalents shall be computed by dividing: (a) the amount

61

33228040v1

obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid per Share by the number of RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, as applicable, held by the participant on the record date for the payment of such dividend, by (b) the Market Price at the close of the first business day immediately following the dividend record date, with fractions computed to three decimal places.

Black-out Periods

In the event an award expires, at a time when a scheduled blackout is in place or an undisclosed material change or material fact in the affairs of the Company exists, the expiry of such award will be the date that is 10 business days after which such scheduled blackout terminates or there is no longer such undisclosed material change or material fact.

Term

While the does not stipulate a specific term for awards granted thereunder, as discussed below, awards may not expire beyond 10 years from its date of grant, except where shareholder approval is received or where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period of the Company. All awards must vest and settle in accordance with the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and any applicable award agreement, which award agreement may include an expiry date for a specific award.

Termination of Employment or Services

The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the participants under the Equity Incentive Plan, including termination for cause, resignation, termination without cause, disability, death or retirement, subject, in each case, to the terms of a participant’s applicable employment agreement, award agreement or other written agreement:

Event Provisions

the Termination Date.
Termination
without
Cause
A portion of any unvested Options or other awards shall be immediately
forfeited and cancelled as of the Termination Date. Any vested Options may

on the earlier of: (A) the expiry date of such Option; and (B) the date that is
90 days after the Termination Date. If an Option remains unexercised upon
the earlier of (A) or (B), the Option shall be immediately forfeited and
cancelled for no consideration upon the termination of such period. In the
case of a vested award other than an Option, such award will be settled within
90 days after the Termination Date.
Disability Any award held by the participant that has not vested as of the date of such
participant’s Termination Date shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled
as of the Termination Date. Any vested Option may be exercised by the
participant at any time until the expiry date of such Option. Any vested award

during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (a) the expiry date of such
Option, and (b) the first anniversary of the date of the death of such
participant. If an Option remains unexercised upon the earlier of (A) or (B),

62

33228040v1

Event Provisions

an Option, such award will be settled with the participant’s beneficiary or legal
representative (as applicable) within 90 days after the date of the participant’s
death.
Retirement Any (i) outstanding award that vests or becomes exercisable based solely on
the participant remaining in the service of the Company or its subsidiary will
become 100% vested, and (ii) outstanding award that vests based on the
achievement of Performance Goals (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan)

third anniversary of the participant’s date of retirement. If an Option remains
unexercised upon the earlier of (A) or (B), the Option shall be immediately
forfeited and cancelled for no consideration upon the termination of such
period. In the case of a vested award other than an Option that is described
in (i), such award will be settled within 90 days after the participant’s
retirement. In the case of a vested award other than an Option that is
described in (ii), such award will be settled at the same time the award would
otherwise have been settled had the participant remained in active service
with the Company or its subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if,
following his or her retirement, the participant commences (the
“Commencement Date”) employment, consulting or acting as a director of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or in an analogous capacity) or
otherwise as a service provider to any person that carries on or proposes to
carry on a business competitive with the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
any Option or other award held by the participant that has not been exercised
or settled as of the Commencement Date shall be immediately forfeited and
cancelled as of the Commencement Date.

Change in Control

Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, if, as a result of a Change in Control, the Shares will cease trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange, the Company may terminate all of the awards, other than an Option held by a participant that is a resident of Canada for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), granted under the Equity Incentive Plan at the time of and subject to the completion of the Change in Control transaction by paying to each holder at or within a reasonable period of time following completion of such Change in Control transaction an amount for each Award equal to the fair market value of the Award held by such participant as determined by the Plan Administrator, acting reasonably, provided that any vested awards granted to U.S. Taxpayers (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) will be settled within 90 days of the Change in Control.

Subject to certain exceptions, a “Change in Control” includes (a) any transaction pursuant to which a person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares, (b) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (c) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (d) the acquisition of the Company via consolidation, merger, exchange of securities, purchase of assets, amalgamation, statutory arrangement or otherwise, (e) individuals who comprise the Board at the last annual meeting of shareholders (the “Incumbent Board”) cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the election, or nomination for election by the shareholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Board, in which case such new director shall be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board, or (f) any other event which the Board determines to constitute a change in control of the Company.

63

33228040v1

Non-Transferability of Awards

Except as permitted by the Plan Administrator and to the extent that certain rights may pass to a beneficiary or legal representative upon death of a participant, by will or as required by law, no assignment or transfer of awards, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, vests any interest or right in such awards whatsoever in any assignee or transferee and immediately upon any assignment or transfer, or any attempt to make the same, such awards will terminate and be of no further force or effect. To the extent that certain rights to exercise any portion of an outstanding award pass to a beneficiary or legal representative upon the death of a participant, the period in which such award can be exercised by such beneficiary or legal representative shall not exceed one year from the participant’s death.

Amendments to the Equity Incentive Plan

The Plan Administrator may also from time to time, without notice and without approval of the holders of voting Shares, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the Equity Incentive Plan or any awards granted pursuant thereto as it, in its discretion, determines appropriate, provided that (a) no such amendment, modification, change, suspension or termination of the Equity Incentive Plan or any award granted pursuant thereto may materially impair any rights of a participant or materially increase any obligations of a participant under the Equity Incentive Plan without the consent of such participant, unless the Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any applicable securities laws or stock exchange requirements, and (b) any amendment that would cause an award held by a U.S. Taxpayer to be subject to the income inclusion under Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code, as amended, shall be null and void ab initio.

Notwithstanding the above, and subject to the rules of any applicable stock exchange, the approval of Shareholders is required to effect any of the following amendments to the Equity Incentive Plan:

  4. permitting an Option award to be exercisable beyond 10 years from its date of grant (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period);

  5. changing the eligible participants; and

  6. deleting or otherwise limiting the amendments that require approval of the shareholders.

Except for the items listed above, amendments to the Equity Incentive Plan will not require shareholder approval.

(" Nomad "), a cease trade order was issued to Nomad by the BCSC for failing to file annual audited financial statements and a Form 51-102F1 management's discussion and analysis for the year ended February 29, 2016. The required financial statements and management's discussion and analysis were subsequently filed and a revocation order from the BCSC was issued on August 16, 2016.

Penalties and Sanctions

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no director or executive officer of the Company, or any shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of the Company to affect materially the control of the Company has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory

authority; or been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would be likely to be considered important to a reasonable investor making an investment decision.

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no existing or proposed director, executive officer or a shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of the Company to affect materially the control of the Company is as of the date hereof, or within the ten years prior to the date hereof, been declared bankrupt or made a voluntary assignment into bankruptcy, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or has been subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement, or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold his or her assets.

Conflicts of Interest

Other than as disclosed herein, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, there are no existing or potential material conflicts of interest between the Company and any of its directors or officers as of the date hereof. In addition, certain of the Company’s directors and officers are, or may become, directors or officers of other companies with businesses which may conflict with its business. Accordingly, conflicts of interest may arise which could influence these individuals in evaluating possible acquisitions or in generally acting on the Company’s behalf. See “ Risk Factors – Risks and Other Considerations Related to the Company – The directors and officers may have conflicts of interest with the Company ”.

Pursuant to the BCBCA, directors and officers of the Company are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. As required under the BCBCA and the Company’s Articles:

  • a director or senior officer who holds any office or possesses any property, right or interest that could result, directly or indirectly, in the creation of a duty or interest that materially conflicts with that individual’s duty or interest as a director or senior officer of the Company, must promptly disclose the nature and extent of that conflict; and

  • a director who holds a disclosable interest (as such term is defined under the BCBCA) in a contract or transaction into which the Company has entered or proposes to enter may generally not vote on any directors’ resolution to approve such contract or transaction.

Generally, as a matter of practice, directors who have disclosed a material interest in any contract or transaction that the Board is considering will not take part in any board discussion respecting that contract or transaction. If on occasion such directors do participate in the discussions, they will refrain from voting on any matters relating to matters in which they have disclosed a material interest. In appropriate cases, the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which directors or officers may have a conflict.

Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance and Indemnification

The Articles provide for the indemnification of each director and officer against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any action or proceeding to which he or she is

71

33228040v1

made a party by reason of being a director or officer of the Company, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles and in the BCBCA.

DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following section describes the significant elements of the Company’s executive and director compensation programs, with particular emphasis on the compensation payable to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and other officers that were determined to be “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs” within the meaning of NI 51-102.

Compensation Governance

Responsibilities of the Board

The Board as a whole fulfills its responsibilities pertaining to compensation matters including the Company’s compensation policies and practices. The Board is responsible for determining the overall compensation strategy of the Company and administering the Company’s executive compensation program. As part of its mandate, the Board approves the appointment and remuneration of the Company’s executive officers, including the Company’s Named Executive Officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table below. The Board is also responsible for reviewing the Company’s compensation policies and guidelines generally.

Each of the members of the Board has business and other experience which is relevant to their work in determining matters relating to compensation. By virtue of their differing professional backgrounds, business experience, knowledge of the Company’s industry, knowledge of corporate governance practices and, where appropriate, service on compensation committees of other reporting issuers and experience interacting with external consultants and advisors, the members of the Board are able to make decisions on the suitability of the Company’s compensation policies and practices.

Executive Compensation-Related Fees

Effective February 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with a company controlled by Gary Musil for his services as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. Terms include a monthly fee of $2,500 and automatic renewal every six months unless terminated by either the Company or the service provider. The agreement also includes rent expense of $100 per month.

As of June 30, 2022, a total of $5,000 has been accrued as due to a director and senior officer. Amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing with no specific terms of repayment.

As at March 31, 2023, a total of $8,190 is payable to a company controlled by a director and senior officer and $12,000 has been accrued as due to a director and senior officer.

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Philosophy

It is the objective of the Company’s executive compensation program to attract and retain highly qualified executives and to link incentive compensation to performance and shareholder value, while at the same time keeping in mind that the Company currently has limited financial resources. It is the goal of the Board to endeavor to ensure that the compensation of executive officers is sufficiently competitive to achieve the objectives of the executive compensation program. The Board gives consideration to the Company’s longterm interests and quantitative financial objectives, as well to the qualitative aspects of the individual’s performance and achievements. The Company’s primary compensation policy is to pay for performance and accordingly, the performance of the Company and of the executive officers as individuals are both examined by the Board.

When determining compensation, the Board annually assesses the individual performance and development of each executive officer and determines the appropriate consulting fees, annual incentive and long-term incentive for each individual. Due to the early stage of the Company’s business, the Board does not consider peer company comparatives.

The Board does not set specific performance objectives in assessing the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers; rather the Board uses its experience and judgment in determining an overall compensation package for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. The Board assesses the performance of the Company and its executive officers relative to the Company’s goals and objectives.

Elements of Executive Compensation

The Company’s executive compensation is comprised of three principal components: consulting fees, equity incentive plan, and incentive bonus compensation which are designed to provide compensation to effectively retain and motivate the executive officers to achieve the corporate goals and objectives. Other components of executive compensation include perquisites and other personal benefits. Each component of the executive compensation program is addressed separately below. The fixed element of compensation provides a competitive base of secure compensation required to attract and retain executive talent. The variable performance-based compensation is designed to encourage both short-term and long-term performance of the Company.

Consulting Fees

The consulting fee component is intended to provide a fixed level of competitive pay that reflects each executive officer’s primary duties and responsibilities and the level of skills and experience required to successfully perform his or her role. The Company intends to pay consulting fees to its executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, that are competitive with those for similar positions. Consulting fees for executive officers are reviewed annually based on corporate and personal performance and on individual levels of responsibility. Consulting fees of the executive officers are not determined based on benchmarks or a specific formula. The Board determines the consulting fees of the Chief Executive Officer. The Board considers, and, if thought appropriate, approves consulting fees recommended by the Chief Executive Officer for the other executive officers of the Company.

Incentive Bonus Compensation

In addition to consulting fees, the Company can award discretionary bonuses to executive officers. The bonus element of the Company’s executive compensation program is designed to retain top quality talent and reward both corporate and individual performance during the Company’s last completed financial year. To determine bonus awards for executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, the Board considers both the executive’s personal performance and the performance of the Company relative to its

73

33228040v1

goals and objectives. Any proposed bonus amounts and targets for executive officers are recommended by the Chief Executive Officer for review, discussion and approval by the Board. Any Named Executive Officer that is also a member of the Board, recuses himself/herself from any discussion of his/her compensation.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Board has adopted the Equity Incentive Plan to provide an incentive to the directors, officers, employees, consultants and other personnel of the Company to achieve the long-term objectives of the Company; to give suitable recognition to the ability and industry of such persons who contribute materially to the success of the Company; and to attract to and retain in the employ of the Company, persons of experience and ability, by providing them with the opportunity to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Company. See “ Options to Purchase Securities ” for a summary of the Equity Incentive Plan.

The executive compensation policy of the Company is determined with a view to securing the best possible talent to run the Company. Options, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs may be awarded to executive officers in lieu of higher consulting fees. The grant of Stock Options, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs under the Equity Incentive Plan is designed to give each holder an interest in preserving and maximizing shareholder value in the longer term and to reward employees for both past and future performance. Individual grants are determined by an assessment of an individual’s current and expected future performance, level of responsibilities and the importance of his position with and contribution to the Company.

Executive officers, along with all of the Company’s officers, directors, employees, contractors and other service providers, are eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan provides a long-term incentive designed to focus and reward eligible participants for enhancing total Shareholder return over the long-term both on an absolute and relative basis. Participation in the Equity Incentive Plan rewards overall corporate performance, as measured through the price of the Common Shares. In addition, the Equity Incentive Plan enables executives to develop and maintain a significant ownership position in the Company. This results in a significant portion of executive compensation being “at risk” and directly linked to the achievement of business results and long-term value creation.

Options, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs are normally recommended by management and approved by the Board upon the commencement of an individual’s employment with the Company based on the level of their respective responsibility within the Company. Additional grants may be made periodically, generally on an annual basis, to ensure that the number of securities granted to any particular individual is commensurate with the individual’s level of ongoing responsibility within the Company. In considering additional grants, a number of factors are considered including the number of securities held by such individual, the exercise price and implied value of the securities, the term remaining on those securities and the total number of securities the Company has available for grant under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Perquisites and Other Components

Other components of compensation include perquisites and personal benefits as determined by the Board that are consistent with the overall compensation strategy. There is no formula for how perquisites or personal benefits are utilized in the total compensation package.

The Company does not provide any pension or retirement benefits to its executive officers.

Compensation Benchmarking

Consulting fees of the executive officers are not determined based on benchmarks or a specific formula.

74

33228040v1

Managing Compensation Risk

The oversight and administration of the Company’s compensation program requires the Board to consider risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices. Potential risks associated with compensation policies and compensation awards are considered at such meetings of the Board at which compensation related recommendations are formulated.

The Company’s executive compensation policies and practices are intended to align management incentives with the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. In each case, the Company seeks an appropriate balance of risk and reward. Practices that are designed to avoid inappropriate or excessive risks include (i) the Company’s operating strategy and related compensation philosophy, (ii) the effective balance, in each case, between cash and equity mix, near-term and long-term focus, corporate and individual performance, and financial and non-financial performance; and (iii) a multi-faceted approach to performance evaluation and compensation that does not reward an executive for engaging in risky behavior to achieve one objective to the detriment of other objectives.

Based on this review, the Board believes that the Company’s total compensation program does not encourage executive officers to take unnecessary or excessive risk.

The Company does not prohibit the Named Executive Officers (as defined below) or the directors from purchasing financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by such person. The Named Executive Officers and directors have advised the Company that they have not entered into any such arrangements. To the extent that they subsequently enter into an agreement, arrangement or understanding that has the effect of altering, directly or indirectly, their economic exposure to the Company, insider reporting laws in Canada provide that they must file a report disclosing the existence and material terms of the agreement, arrangement or understanding within five days of the event.

The Board encourages and promotes an overall culture of ethical business conduct by promoting compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations; providing guidance to directors, officers and other employees to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues; promoting a culture of open communication, honesty and accountability; and ensuring awareness of disciplinary action for violations of ethical business conduct.

The risks described below and elsewhere in this Prospectus do not purport to be an exhaustive summary of the risks affecting the Company and additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or not currently perceived as being material may have an adverse effect on the Company. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” for a description of additional risks affecting the Company.

Risks and Other Considerations Related to the Company

COVID-19

An emerging risk is a risk not well understood at the current time and for which the impacts on strategy and financial results are difficult to assess or are in the process of being assessed. Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as COVID-19, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally, resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. 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 in future periods. While there are currently no COVID-19 related travel restrictions in place in British Columbia which recommend against non-essential travel within British Columbia, these travel restrictions may be re-imposed in the future. If re-imposed, any potential travel restrictions may impact upon the ability of qualified personnel to travel to the Boer Property in order to conduct the recommended work program. In addition, there is a risk that more restrictive COVID-19 related travel restrictions may be imposed in the future that may further impact on the ability of the Company to complete the work program at the Boer Property. At present, the Company does not anticipate any COVID-19 related delays in completing its work program at the Boer Management of the Company intends to monitor all COVID-19 related restrictions and revise the Company’s objectives as may be necessary.

Natural disasters, geopolitical instability or other unforeseen events

In addition to the outbreak of infectious disease or occurrence of pandemics, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19; natural disasters; terrorism or other unanticipated events, in any of the areas in which the Company operates could cause interruptions in the Company’s operations. Natural disasters, geopolitical tensions and instability (including terrorism) or other unforeseen events could negatively affect project development, operations, labour supply and financial markets, all or any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, operational results or cash flows.

Mineral prices are volatile

Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of metals discovered, if any. Metal prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. The effect of these factors cannot be predicted.

Mining operations are risky

The Company’s current business, and any future development or mining operations, involve various types of risks and hazards typical of companies engaged in the mining industry. Such risks include, but are not limited to: (i) industrial accidents; (ii) unusual or unexpected rock formations; (iii) structural cave-ins or slides and pitfall, ground or slope failures and accidental release of water from surface storage facilities; (iv) fire, flooding and earthquakes; (v) rock bursts; (vi) metal losses in handling and transport; (vii) periodic

81

33228040v1

interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions; (viii) environmental hazards; (ix) discharge of pollutants or hazardous materials; (x) failure of processing and mechanical equipment and other performance problems; (xi) geotechnical risks, including the stability of the underground hanging walls and unusual and unexpected geological conditions; (xii) unanticipated variations in grade and other geological problems, water, surface or underground conditions; (xiii) labour disputes or slowdowns; (xiv) work force health issues as a result of working conditions; and (xv) force majeure events, or other unfavourable operating conditions.

These risks, conditions and events could result in: (i) damage to, or destruction of, the value of, the Boer Property; (ii) personal injury or death; (iii) environmental damage to the Boer Property, surrounding lands and waters, or the properties of others; (iv) delays or prohibitions on mining or the transportation of minerals; (v) monetary losses; and (vi) potential legal liability and any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation, cash flows or prospects. In particular, underground refurbishment and exploration activities present inherent risks of injury to people and damage to equipment. Significant accidents could occur, potentially resulting in a complete shutdown of the Company’s operations at the Boer Property which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

There are also risks related to the reliance on the reliability of current and new or developing technology; the reliance on the work performance of outside consultants, contractors, and manufacturers; changes to labour or material costs; unknown or unanticipated or underestimated costs or expenses; unknown or unanticipated or underestimated additions to the scope of work due to changing or adverse conditions encountered; unexpected variances in the geometry or quality of ore zones; unexpected reclamation requirements or expenses; permitting time lines; unexpected or unknown ground conditions; unexpected changes to estimated parameters utilized to estimate past timelines, projections, or costs; and liquidity risks. An adverse change in any one of such factors, hazards and risks may result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

Resource Exploration and Development is a Speculative Business

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business and involves a high degree of risk, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in size to return a profit from production. There is no known mineral resource on the Boer Property and there is no assurance that the Company’s mineral exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercial ore. The marketability of natural resources that may be acquired or discovered by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets, and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. The majority of exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore.

The successful exploration and development of the Boer Property depend on the skills of the Company’s management and teams

The Company’s business is dependent on retaining the services of its key management personnel with a variety of skills and experience, including in relation to the exploration and development of mineral projects. The success of the Company is, and will continue to be, dependent to a significant extent on the expertise and experience of its directors and senior management. Failure to retain, or loss of, one or more of these people could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects. The Company’s success will also depend to a significant degree upon the contributions of qualified technical personnel and the Company’s ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and the Company may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, or in obtaining the necessary work permits to hire qualified

82

33228040v1

expatriates. The Company’s inability to attract and retain these people could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

Operations during mining cycle peaks are more expensive

During times of increased demand for metals and minerals, price increases may encourage expanded mining exploration, development and construction activities. These increased activities may result in escalating demand for and cost of contract exploration, development and construction services and equipment. Increased demand for and cost of services and equipment could cause exploration, development and construction costs to increase materially, resulting in delays if services or equipment cannot be obtained in a timely manner due to inadequate availability, and increased potential for scheduling difficulties and cost increases due to the need to coordinate the availability of services or equipment, any of which could materially increase project exploration, development or construction costs, result in project delays, or increase operating costs.

Title to the Boer Property may be disputed

There is no guarantee that title to the Boer Property will not be challenged or impugned. The Company’s claims may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers and title may be affected by unidentified or unknown defects. The Company has conducted an investigation on the title of properties that it has acquired to confirm that there are no claims or agreements that could affect its title to its mineral tenure or surface rights. There is no guarantee that such title will not be challenged or impaired. If title to the Company’s properties is disputed, it may result in the Company paying substantial costs to settle the dispute or clear title and could result in the loss of the Boer Property, which events may affect the economic viability of the Company. Title insurance generally is not available for mineral tenure or surface rights and the Company’s ability to ensure that it has obtained secure claim to title may be constrained.

The Company’s interests in the Boer Property are held pursuant to an option agreement. The Company must, among other things, expend a total of $200,000 on the Boer Property in order to acquire up to a 75% interest in the Boer Property, subject to a 2% NSR. The Company has limited financial resources, and there is no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further operations or to fulfill its obligations under the option agreement. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising further funds, it may not earn any interest in the Boer Property.

Aboriginal rights claims may impact the Company’s interest in the Boer Property

Aboriginal rights, including Aboriginal title, may be asserted on Crown land or other types of tenure with respect to which mining rights have been conferred. The Supreme Court of Canada's 2014 decision in Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British Columbia marked the first time in Canadian history that a court has declared Aboriginal title. Rights conferred by Aboriginal title include the right to decide how the land will be used, the right to enjoy, occupy and possess the land, and the right to proactively use and manage the land, including its natural resources. The Boer Property may now or in the future be subject to Aboriginal title claims or claims of other Aboriginal rights.

Aboriginal rights are a matter of considerable complexity, and their impact on the Company’s potential ownership interest in the Boer Property cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. No assurance can be given that recognition of Aboriginal rights in the area in which the Boer Property is located, by way of a negotiated settlement or judicial pronouncement, would not have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities. Even in the absence of such recognition, the Company may at some point be required to negotiate with and seek the approval of holders of Aboriginal rights and interests in order to facilitate exploration and development work on the Boer Property. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to establish a practical working relationship with any First Nations in the area which would allow it to ultimately develop the Boer Property.

83

33228040v1

The Company may fail to comply with the law or may fail to obtain or renew necessary permits and licenses

The Company’s operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing, among other things, such matters as environmental protection, management and use of toxic substances and explosives, health, exploration and development of mines, commercial production and sale of by-products, ongoing and post-closure reclamation, construction and operation of tailings dams, safety and labour, taxation and royalties, maintenance of mineral tenure, and expropriation of property. The activities of the Company require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities.

The costs associated with compliance with these laws and regulations and of obtaining licenses and permits are substantial, and possible future laws and regulations, changes to existing laws and regulations and more stringent enforcement of current laws and regulations by governmental authorities, could cause additional expenses, capital expenditures, restrictions on or suspensions of the Company’s operations and delays in the development of its properties. There is no assurance that future changes in such laws and regulations, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations. Moreover, these laws and regulations may allow governmental authorities and private parties to bring lawsuits based upon damages to property and injury to persons resulting from the environmental, health and safety practices of the Company’s past and current operations, or possibly even the actions of former property owners, and could lead to the imposition of substantial fines, penalties or other civil or criminal sanctions. The Company may fail to comply with current or future laws and regulations. Such non-compliance can lead to financial restatements, civil or criminal fines, penalties, and other material negative impacts on the Company.

The Company is required to obtain or renew further government permits and licenses for its current and contemplated operations. Obtaining, amending or renewing the necessary governmental permits and licenses can be a time-consuming process potentially involving a number of regulatory agencies, involving public hearings and costly undertakings on the Company’s part. The duration and success of the Company’s efforts to obtain, amend and renew permits and licenses are contingent upon many variables not within its control, including the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the relevant permitting or licensing authority. The Company may not be able to obtain, amend or renew permits or licenses that are necessary to its operations, or the cost to obtain, amend or renew permits or licenses may exceed what the Company believes it can ultimately recover from a given property once in production. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the permitting and licensing process could impede ongoing operations at the Boer Property. To the extent necessary permits or licenses are not obtained, amended or renewed, or are subsequently suspended or revoked, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from proceeding with planned development, commercialization, operation and exploration activities. Such curtailment or prohibition may result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

Compliance with environmental regulations can be costly

The Company’s exploration operations at the Boer Property are subject to environmental regulation. Regulations cover, among other things, water quality standards, land reclamation, the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of hazardous waste, the construction and operation of tailings dams, and general health and safety matters. There is no assurance that the Company has been or will at all times be in full compliance with all environmental laws and regulations or hold, and be in full compliance with, all required environmental and health and safety approvals and permits. The potential costs and delays associated with compliance with such laws, regulations, approvals and permits could prevent the Company from economically operating or proceeding with the further exploration of the Boer Property, and any noncompliance with such laws, regulations, approvals and permits could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

84

33228040v1

Environmental approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future be, required in connection with the Company’s current and planned operations. To the extent such environmental approvals and permits are required and not obtained, the Company’s plans and the operation of mines may be curtailed or it may be prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of additional mineral properties. Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.

There is no assurance that any future changes in environmental regulation will not adversely affect the Company’s operations. Changes in government regulations have the potential to significantly increase compliance costs and thus reduce the profitability of current or future operations.

Environmental hazards may also exist on the properties on which the Company holds interests that are unknown to the Company at present and that have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties and for which the Company may be liable for remediation. Parties engaged in mining operations, including the Company, may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable environmental laws or regulations, regardless of whether the Company actually caused the loss or damage. The costs of such compensation, fines or penalties could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

Social and environmental activism can negatively impact exploration, development and mining activities

There is an increasing level of public concern relating to the effects of mining on the natural landscape, on communities and on the environment. Certain non-governmental organizations, public interest groups and reporting organizations (“ NGOs ”) who oppose resource development can be vocal critics of the mining industry. In addition, there have been many instances in which local community groups have opposed resource extraction activities, which have resulted in disruption and delays to the relevant operation. While the Company seeks to operate in a socially responsible manner and believes it has good relationships with local communities in the regions in which it operates, NGOs or local community organizations could direct adverse publicity against and/or disrupt the operations of the Company in respect of one or more of its properties, regardless of its successful compliance with social and environmental best practices, due to political factors, activities of unrelated third parties on lands in which the Company has an interest or the Company’s operations specifically. Any such actions and the resulting media coverage could have an adverse effect on the reputation and financial condition of the Company or its relationships with the communities in which it operates, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

The mining industry is intensely competitive

The mining industry is intensely competitive. The Company competes with other mining companies, many of which have greater resources and experience. Competition in the mining industry is primarily for: (i) properties which can be developed and can produce economically; (ii) the technical expertise to find, develop, and operate such properties; (iii) labour to operate such properties; and (iv) capital to fund such properties. Such competition may result in the Company being unable to acquire desired properties, to recruit or retain qualified employees and consultants or to acquire the capital necessary to fund its operations and develop its properties. The Company’s inability to compete with other mining companies for these resources could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

85

33228040v1

Inadequate infrastructure may constrain exploration and future development operations

Exploration operations depend on adequate infrastructure. In particular, reliable power sources, water supply, transportation and surface facilities are necessary to explore and develop mineral projects. Failure to adequately meet these infrastructure requirements or changes in the cost of such requirements could affect the Company’s ability to carry out exploration and future development operations and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

The Company may incur losses and experience negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future

For the period from incorporation on February 2, 2022 to June 30, 2022, the Company had a loss of approximately $58,939. The Company has incurred various expenses in recent periods and plans to incur further expenses as cash flows allow. The planned increases in expenses may result in losses in future periods.

The exploration, development and operation of the Company’s mineral properties will require the commitment of substantial financial resources that may not be available. The amount and timing of expenditures will depend on a number of factors, including the progress of ongoing exploration and development, the results of consultants’ analyses and recommendations, the rate at which operating losses are incurred, the execution of any joint venture agreements with strategic partners and the acquisition of additional property interests, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s business strategies may not be successful and it may not be profitable in any future period. The Company’s operating results have varied in the past and they may continue to fluctuate in the future. In addition, the Company’s operating results may not follow any past trends.

The Company’s insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover potential losses

The Company’s business is subject to a number of risks and hazards (as further described in this Prospectus). Although the Company maintains insurance and intends, upon completion of the Offering, to obtain certain additional insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with its activities. The Company may also be unable to obtain or maintain insurance to cover its risks at economically feasible premiums, or at all. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration, development or production may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms. The Company might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which it is not currently insured against and/or in the future may not insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause the Company to incur significant costs which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

86

33228040v1

The directors and officers may have conflicts of interest with the Company

Certain directors and officers of the Company are or may become associated with other mining and/or mineral exploration and development companies which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Directors who have a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with the Company are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve such a contract. In addition, directors and officers are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. Some of the directors and officers 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 directors and officers. Further, any failure of the directors or officers of the Company to address these conflicts in an appropriate manner or to allocate opportunities that they become aware of to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

Future acquisitions may require significant expenditures and may result in inadequate returns

The Company may seek to expand through future acquisitions; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will locate attractive acquisition candidates, or that the Company will be able to acquire such candidates on economically acceptable terms, if at all, or that the Company will not be restricted from completing acquisitions pursuant to the terms and conditions from time to time of arrangements with third parties, such as the Company’s creditors. Future acquisitions may require the Company to expend significant amounts of cash, resulting in the Company’s inability to use these funds for other business or may involve significant issuances of equity or debt. Future acquisitions may also require substantial management time commitments, and the negotiation of potential acquisitions and the integration of acquired operations could disrupt the Company’s business by diverting management and employees’ attention away from day-to-day operations. The difficulties of integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically diverse organizations, integrating personnel with disparate backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures.

Any future acquisition involve potential risks, including, among other things: (i) mistaken assumptions and incorrect expectations about mineral properties, existing or potential mineral resources, mineral reserves and costs; (ii) an inability to successfully integrate any operation the Company acquired or acquires, as applicable; (iii) an inability to recruit, hire, train or retain qualified personnel to manage and operate the operations acquired; (iv) the assumption of unknown liabilities; (v) mistaken assumptions about the overall cost of equity or debt; (vi) unforeseen difficulties operating acquired projects, which may be in geographic areas new to the Company; and (vii) the loss of key employees and/or key relationships at the acquired project. In addition, competition for assets sometimes requires that acquisitions be completed on an “as is where is” basis, and therefore the Company would have no rights of recourse and indemnities against the sellers. Future acquisition candidates may have liabilities or adverse operating issues that the Company failed or fails to discover through due diligence prior to the acquisition. If the Company consummates any future acquisitions with, unanticipated liabilities or adverse operating issues or if acquisition-related expectations are not met, the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition or prospects may be materially adversely affected. The potential impairment or complete write-off of goodwill and other intangible assets related to any such acquisition may reduce the Company’s overall earnings and could negatively affect the Company’s balance sheet.

87

33228040v1

The Company may be subject to costly legal proceedings

The Company may be subject to regulatory investigations, civil claims, lawsuits and other proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. The results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty due to the uncertainty inherent in regulatory actions and litigation, the difficulty of predicting decisions of regulators, judges and juries and the possibility that decisions may be reversed on appeal. Defense and settlement costs of legal disputes can be substantial, even with claims that have no merit. Management is committed to conducting business in an ethical and responsible manner, which it believes will reduce the risk of legal disputes. However, if the Company is subject to legal disputes, there can be no assurances that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

The Company will incur increased costs as a result of complying with the reporting requirements, rules and regulations affecting public issuers

As a public issuer, the Company will be subject to the reporting requirements and rules and regulations under the applicable Canadian securities laws and rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may be listed from time to time. Additional or new regulatory requirements may be adopted in the future. The requirements of existing and potential future rules and regulations will increase the Company’s legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and may also place undue strain on its personnel, systems and resources, which could adversely affect its business and financial condition.

In particular, as a result of the Offering, the Company will become subject to reporting and other obligations under applicable Canadian securities laws, including National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings . These reporting and other obligations will place significant demands on the Company as well as on the Company’s management, administrative, operational and accounting resources.

The Boer Property is located in an underdeveloped rural area

The Boer Property is located in an underdeveloped rural area, resulting in technical challenges for conducting mineral exploration and development and any potential mining activities at the Boer Property. The Company benefits from modern mining transportation skills and technologies for exploring and operating in such areas. Nevertheless, the Company may sometimes be unable to overcome problems related to underdevelopment or unseasonable weather at a commercially reasonable cost, which could negatively affect the Company’s mineral exploration and development and any potential mining activities at the Boer Property and have a material adverse effect on the Company. The rural location of the Boer Property also results in increased costs associated with land access and infrastructure, including powerlines, water pipelines and transportation.

The Company may not use the proceeds from the Offering as described in this Prospectus

The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds received from the Offering as described under “ Use of Proceeds ”. However, the Board and/or management will have discretion in the actual application of the net proceeds, and may elect to allocate net proceeds differently from that described under “ Use of Proceeds ” if they believe it would .be in the Company’s best interests to do so. Shareholders may not agree with the manner in which the Board and/or management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. The failure by the Board and/or management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

88

33228040v1

The Company may not be able to obtain sufficient financing to pursue all of its intended exploration activities or continue on a going concern basis

The Company’s primary sources of capital resources are comprised of cash and cash equivalents and the issuance of securities. The Company will continuously monitor its capital structure and, based on changes in operations and economic conditions, may adjust the structure by issuing new shares as necessary. The recoverability of the carrying values of the Company’s assets is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration activities.

While the Company has been successful in securing financing to date, there are no guarantees that it will be able to secure such financing in the future on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital to fund all of its intended exploration activities, expenditures may be limited to the recommended work program on the Boer Property. In the event that the Company is unable to fulfill its commitments under its various option agreements as a result of lack of funds or otherwise, the Company may lose its rights and interests in some or all of its properties. This could, in turn have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

The Company may be negatively impacted by changes to mining laws and regulations

The Company’s activities are subject to various laws governing prospecting, exploration, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. Mining, exploration and development activities are also subject to various laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Although the Company believes that its activities are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner that could limit or curtail production or development of the Company’s properties. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing the Company’s operations and activities or more stringent implementation of such laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

The Company may expand into other geographic areas, which could increase the Company's operational, regulatory and other risks

While currently all of the Company’s mining and exploration activities are in Canada, the Company may in the future expand into other geographic areas, which could increase the Company’s operational, regulatory, compliance, reputational and foreign exchange rate risks. The failure of the Company’s operating infrastructure to support such expansion could result in operational failures and regulatory fines or sanctions. Future international expansion could require the Company to incur a number of up-front expenses, including those associated with obtaining regulatory approvals, as well as additional ongoing expenses, including those associated with infrastructure, staff and regulatory compliance. The Company may not be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition and expansion opportunities, or integrate such operations successfully with the Company's existing operations.

Risks Related to the Offered Shares

Investors may lose their entire investment

An investment in the Offered Shares is speculative and may result in the loss of an investor’s entire investment. Only potential investors who are experienced in high risk investments and who can afford to lose their entire investment should consider an investment in the Company.

89

33228040v1

There is no existing public market for the Common Shares

There is currently no existing public market for the Common Shares. The Common Shares are not currently listed or quoted on any stock exchange or market in Canada or elsewhere. If an active trading market does not develop, the trading price of the Common Shares may decline, and investors may have difficulty selling any of the Offered Shares that they purchase or acquire by way of the Offering.

Prior to the Offering, there has been no public trading market for the Common Shares, and the Company cannot offer assurances that one will develop or be sustained after the Offering. The Company cannot predict the prices at which the Common Shares will trade. The Offering Price has been determined by arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Agent and may not bear any relationship to the market price at which the Common Shares will trade after the Offering, or to any other established criteria of the Company’s value. Shares of companies often trade at a discount to the initial offering price due to sales loads, underwriting discounts and related offering expenses.

Dilution from equity financing could negatively impact holders of Offered Shares

The Company may from time to time raise funds through the issuance of Common Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Common Shares. The Company cannot predict the size or price of future issuances of Common Shares or the size or terms of future issuances of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Common Shares, or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of the Company’s securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of Common Shares, or the perception that such sales or issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Shares. With any additional sale or issuance of Common Shares, or securities convertible into Common Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and the Company may experience dilution in its earnings per share.

A purchaser of the Offered Shares under the Offering will purchase such Offered Shares at a substantial premium to the current book value per Offered Share

The Offering Price of $0.10 per Offered Share is substantially higher than the current book value per share of the Common Shares issued prior to the completion of the Offering. As a result, purchasers of Offered Shares pursuant to the Offering will experience immediate dilution. Stock exchange listing is not certain.

The Company proposes to list the Common Shares distributed under this Prospectus as well as its existing issued and outstanding Common Shares on the CSE. Such listing will be subject to the Company fulfilling all the listing requirements of the CSE. If the Company fails to list the Common Shares on the CSE, the liquidity for its Common Shares would be significantly impaired, which may substantially decrease the trading price of the Common Shares.

In addition, in the future, the Company’s securities may fail to meet the continued listing requirements to be listed on the CSE. If the CSE delists the Common Shares from trading on its exchange, the Company could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

  • a limited availability of market quotations for the Common Shares;

  • a determination that the Common Shares are a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the Common Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the Common Shares;

  • a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the Company; and

  • • a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Equity securities are subject to trading and volatility risks

The securities of publicly traded companies can experience a high level of price and volume volatility and the value of the Company’s securities can be expected to fluctuate depending on various factors, not all of

90

33228040v1

which are directly related to the success of the Company and its operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects. These include the risks described elsewhere in this Prospectus. Factors which may influence the price of the Company’s securities, including the Common Shares, include, but are not limited to:

  • worldwide economic conditions;

  • disruption of financial markets due to COVID-19;

  • changes in government policies;

  • investor perceptions;

  • movements in global interest rates and global stock markets;

  • variations in operating costs;

  • the cost of capital that the Company may require in the future;

  • metals prices;

  • the price of commodities necessary for the Company’s operations;

  • recommendations by securities research analysts;

  • issuances of equity securities or debt securities by the Company;

  • operating performance and, if applicable, the share price performance of the Company’s competitors;

  • the addition or departure of key management and other personnel;

  • the expiration of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on outstanding Common Shares;

  • significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving the Company or its competitors;

  • news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related industry and market issues affecting the mining sector;

  • litigation;

  • publicity about the Company, the Company’s personnel or others operating in the industry;

  • loss of a major funding source; and

  • all market conditions that are specific to the mining industry.

There can be no assurance that such fluctuations will not affect the price of the Company’s securities, and consequently purchasers of Offered Shares may not be able to sell Offered Shares at prices equal to or greater than the price or value at which they purchased the Offered Shares or acquired them, or their components, by way of the secondary market.

Sales by existing shareholders can reduce share prices

Sales of a substantial number of Common Shares in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of Common Shares intend to sell, could reduce the market price of the Common Shares. If this occurs and continues, it could impair the Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities.

It is anticipated that a majority of the Common Shares issued and outstanding prior to completion of the Offering will be subject to post-Closing resale restrictions. See “ Plan of Distribution ” and “ Escrowed Securities for descriptions of these resale restrictions. Upon expiration of the resale restrictions to which they are subject, such Offered Shares will be freely tradable in the public market, subject to the provisions of applicable securities laws.

In addition, the Company has a number of shareholders who have held the Company’s securities since February 2022, during which time there has not been a public market for the Company’s securities. There is a risk that future sales of Common Shares held by such holders will have an adverse impact on the market price of the Common Shares prevailing from time to time.

The Company is not likely to pay dividends for an extended period of time

The Company has not, since the date of its incorporation, declared or paid any dividends or other distributions on its Common Shares. The Company anticipates that, for the foreseeable future, it will retain

91

33228040v1

its cash resources for the operation and development of its business. The declaration and payment of any dividends in the future is at the discretion of the Board and will depend on a number of factors, including compliance with applicable laws, financial performance, working capital requirements of the Company and such other factors as its directors consider appropriate, and the Company may never pay dividends.

Public companies are subject to securities class action litigation risk

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. If the Company faces such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially harm its business.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavourable research about the Company’s business, the price and trading volume of the Common Shares could decline

The trading market for the Common Shares will depend on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about the Company and its business. The Company does not have any control over these analysts. The Company cannot assure that analysts will cover it or provide favourable coverage. If one or more of the analysts who cover the Company downgrade its stock or reduce their opinion of the value of the Common Shares, the price of Common Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of the Company or fail to regularly publish reports, the Company could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price and trading volume of the Common Shares to decline.

Global financial conditions can reduce the price of the Common Shares

Global financial conditions may be characterized by extreme volatility. While global financial conditions are currently stable, global financial conditions could suddenly and rapidly destabilize in response to future economic shocks, as government authorities may have limited resources to respond to future crises. Future economic shocks may be precipitated by a number of causes, such as a rise in the price of oil, geopolitical instability, natural disasters, and other unforeseen events. Any sudden or rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could impact the Company’s ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the future on terms favourable to the Company. Additionally, any such occurrence could cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses and ultimately have a material adverse effect the Company’s business, operations and financial condition.

Furthermore, general market, political and economic conditions, including, for example, inflation, interest and currency exchange rates, structural changes in the global mining industry, global supply and demand for commodities, political developments, legislative or regulatory changes, civil, political or labour unrest and stock market trends will affect the Company’s operating environment and its operating costs, profit margins and share price. Any negative events in the global economy could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

APPENDIX “A” AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

See attached.

33228040v1

MACLAREN MINERALS LTD.

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

I. Purpose

The primary objective of the Audit Committee (the " Committee ") of Maclaren Minerals Ltd. (the " Company ") is to act as a liaison between the Company's Board of Directors (the " Board ") and the Company’s independent auditors (the " Auditors ") and to oversee (a): the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company, including the financial statements and other financial information provided by the Company to its shareholders, the public and others, (b) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (c) the audit of the Company’s financial statements, (d) the qualification, independence and performance of the Auditors, and (e) the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and internal financial and accounting controls, and management information systems. For greater certainty, references to the financial statements of the Company will include, where applicable, the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiary entities.

Although the Committee has the powers and responsibilities set forth in this Charter, the role of the Committee is oversight. The members of the Committee are not full-time employees of the Company and may or may not be accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing and, in any event, do not serve in such capacity. Consequently, it is not the duty of the Committee to conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of management and the Auditors.

The responsibilities of a member of the Committee are in addition to such member’s duties as a member of the Board.

II. Organization

A majority of the members of the Committee will be non-executive directors of the Company who satisfy, at a minimum, the laws governing the Company and the independence, financial literacy and financial experience requirements under applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, stock exchange and any other regulatory requirements applicable to the Company.

Members of the Committee must be financially literate as the Board interprets such qualification in its business judgment. A majority of the members of the Committee will not have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary at any time during the past three years. All members will be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.

The Committee will consist of three or more directors of the Company, a majority of whom are not executive officers of the Company. The members of the Committee and the Chair of the Committee will be appointed by the Board. A majority of the members of the Committee will constitute a quorum, provided that if there are only three members, the quorum shall be three. A majority of the members of the Committee will be empowered to act on behalf of the

Committee. Matters decided by the Committee will be decided by majority votes. The chair of the Committee will have an ordinary vote and will not be entitled to exercise a casting vote.

Any member of the Committee may be removed or replaced at any time by the Board and will cease to be a member of the Committee as soon as such member ceases to be a director.

The Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees when appropriate.

III. Meetings

The Committee will meet as frequently as circumstances require, but not less frequently than four times per year. The Committee will meet at least quarterly with management, the Company’s financial and accounting officer(s) and the Auditors in separate executive sessions to discuss any matters that the Committee or each of these groups believe should be discussed privately. Meetings may be held telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company’s organizational documents and applicable law. A resolution in writing signed by all members who are entitled to vote on the resolution at the meeting of the Committee is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting.

In the absence of the appointed Chair of the Committee at any meeting, the members will elect a chair from those in attendance at the meeting. The Chair, in consultation with the other members of the Committee, will set the frequency and length of each meeting and the agenda of items to be addressed at each upcoming meeting. Notice of the time and place of every meeting shall be given in writing, either by email, fax or personal delivery to each member of the Committee at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting.

The Committee will appoint a recording secretary who will keep minutes of all meetings. The recording secretary may be any person and does not need to be a member of the Committee. The recording secretary for the Committee can be changed by simple notice from the Chair.

The Chair will ensure that the agenda for each upcoming meeting of the Committee is circulated to each member of the Committee as well as the other directors in advance of the meeting.

The Committee may invite, from time to time, such persons as it may see fit to attend its meetings and to take part in discussion and consideration of the affairs of the Committee. The Company’s accounting and financial officer(s) and the Auditors will attend any meeting when requested to do so by the Chair of the Committee.

IV. Authority and Responsibilities

The Board, after consideration of the recommendation of the Committee, will nominate the Auditors for appointment by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with applicable law. The Auditors report directly to the Audit Committee. The Auditors are ultimately accountable to the Committee and the Board as representatives of the shareholders.

In fulfilling its duties and responsibilities under this Charter, the Committee will be entitled to reasonably rely on (a) the integrity of those persons within the Company and of the professionals and experts (such as the Auditors) from whom it receives information, (b) the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons, professionals or experts and (c) the representations made by the Auditors as to any services provided by them to the Company.

See attached.

33228040v1

==> picture [612 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of Maclaren Minerals Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Maclaren Minerals Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2022, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from February 2, 2022 (date of incorporation) to June 30, 2022, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the period from February 2, 2022 (date of incorporation) to June 30, 2022 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which describes events and conditions that indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

==> picture [612 x 128] intentionally omitted <==

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

1. Nature and continuance of operations

Maclaren Minerals Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 2, 2022 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. The Company’s registered office is Suite 2600 – 1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 3X1 and its corporate office and principal place of business of the Company is 800 West Pender Street, Suite 615, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2V6.

The Company is in the business of exploring its mineral exploration assets and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. As at June 30, 2022 the Company was in the exploration stage and had interests in properties in Canada.

The Company is in the process of filing an initial public offering (“IPO”) to be become publicly listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) (Note 11).

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. The Company has sustained losses from operations and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, and has an ongoing requirement for capital investment to explore its exploration and evaluation assets. As at June 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital of $87,189. Based on its current plans, budgeted expenditures, and cash requirements, the Company does not have sufficient cash to finance its current plans. These material uncertainties may cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due. The Company expects that it will need to raise additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. The Company expects to seek additional financing through equity financing. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing might be available.

These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the statement of financial position classifications used, that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation

The financial statements were authorized for issue on __, 2023 by the directors of the Company.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation (cont’d)

Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), which are stated at their fair value.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods.

Significant estimates made in the preparation of these financial statements include the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, recovery of deferred tax assets and the valuation of provisions for restoration and environmental liabilities.

Significant judgements include assessment of going concern assumption and whether there are indicators of impairment of exploration and evaluation assets.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances:

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Financial instruments

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost.

The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

The following table shows the classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:

Classification IFRS 9
Cash FVTPL
Accounts payable Amortized cost
Due to related parties Amortized cost

(ii) Measurement

Debt investments at FVTOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVTOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL

Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial instruments (cont’d)

(iii) Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

(iv) Derecognition

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and / or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.

Income taxes

Deferred income tax:

Income tax expense consisting of current and deferred tax expense is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regard to previous years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related deferred income tax expense or recovery are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Exploration and evaluation assets

Where the Company has entered into option agreements for the acquisition of an interest in exploration and evaluation assets which provided for periodic payments, such amounts unpaid are not recorded as a liability when they are payable entirely at the Company's discretion. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the exploration and evaluation assets in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. The exploration and evaluation assets may be subject to prior undetected agreements or transfers and title may be affected by such defects.

i. Exploration and evaluation expenditures

Exploration and evaluation activities involve the search for minerals, the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource.

Exploration and evaluation costs incurred prior to obtaining licenses or a legal right are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Once a legal right to explore an area has been secured, expenditures on exploration and evaluation activities are capitalized to exploration and classified as a component of mineral properties. Such expenditures include, but are not limited to, exploration license expenditures, leasehold property acquisition costs, evaluation costs, including drilling costs directly attributable to a property, and directly attributable to general and administrative costs. From time to time the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. As the options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as “mine development cost”. Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.

Any incidental revenue earned in connection with exploration activities is applied as a reduction to capitalized exploration costs. Any operational income earned in connection with exploration activities is recognized in the profit or loss.

ii. Impairment

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment by management when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. When there is little prospect of further work on a property being carried out by the Company or its partners, when a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, exploration and evaluation expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those exploration and evaluation expenditure costs, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written-off to profit or loss.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of mineral properties is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, the sale of the respective areas of interest. The Company assesses exploration and evaluation assets for indications of impairment at each reporting date.

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation (cont’d)

Provision for environmental rehabilitation

The Company recognizes liabilities for legal or constructive obligations associated with the retirement of mineral properties and equipment. The net present value of future rehabilitation costs is capitalized to the related asset along with a corresponding increase in the rehabilitation provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value.

The Company’s estimates of reclamation costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to the related assets with a corresponding entry to the rehabilitation provision.

The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense. The Company does not have any provisions for rehabilitation obligations.

Flow-through shares

The Company may from time to time, issue flow-through common shares to finance its exploration program. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. On issuance, the Company bifurcates the flow-through share into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability, and ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability on a pro-rata basis to the expenditures incurred. The reduction of the flow-through share premium previously recorded is recognized as other income.

Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian exploration expenses (as defined in the Tax Act).

The Company may also be subject to a Part XII.6 tax on flow-through proceeds renounced under the Lookback Rule, in accordance with the Tax Act. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financial expense until paid.

Share capital

The proceeds from the exercise of stock options, warrants and escrow shares are recorded as share capital in the amount for which the options, warrants or escrow shares enabled the holder to purchase a shares in the Company. The Company’s common shares, share warrants and flow-through shares are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average aggregate number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods. For the period presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.

Leases

IFRS 16 Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Leases of right-of-use assets are recognized at the lease commencement date at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, and otherwise at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. At the commencement date, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received.

Each lease payment is allocated between repayment of the lease principal and interest. Interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term is allocated to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability. Except where the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset, the Company recognizes in profit or loss (a) the interest on a lease liability and (b) variable lease payments not included in the measurement of a lease liability in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. The Company subsequently measures a right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term, except where the lease contains a bargain purchase option a right-of-use asset is depreciated over the asset’s useful life. The Company had no leases in effect during the period presented.

Share-based payments

The grant-date fair value of share-based payments awarded to directors and officers of the Company settled in equity instruments is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which it is estimated that the service and non-market performance conditions have been satisfied, in that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the actual number of awards that meet the service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards on shares with other vesting conditions, the measurement of fair value at the vesting date reflects these conditions, and differences between estimate and achievement are not subsequently adjusted.

The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model taking into account the features of the plan and market data as at the grant date and on the basis of management’s assumptions.

3. Exploration and evaluation asset

Boer Property (British Columbia)

On March 3, 2022, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire up to a 75% interest in four mining claims in the Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia.

Issuances (cont’d)

On February 7, 2022, the Company issued a total of 2,000,000 common shares at $0.005 per share to directors for gross proceeds of $10,000. Directors and senior officers subscribed for a total of 2,000,000 shares.

On March 3, 2022, the Company issued a total of 100,000 common shares with a fair value of $2,000 for the property acquisition (Note 3).

On March 7, 2022, the Company issued a total of 4,500,000 flow-through common shares at $0.02 per share for proceeds of $90,000. A director and senior officer subscribed for 250,000 flow-through shares.

On May 16, 2022, the Company issued a total of 3,000,000 common shares at $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $150,000.

Flow-through shares

For the purpose of calculation of any premium related to the issuance of the flow-through shares, the Company compares the market price of its shares to the subscription price of flow-through shares to determine if there was a premium paid on the flow-through shares. As a result, the Company’s flowthrough liability on issuance of flow-through shares in connection with the private placements was $nil.

6. Related party transactions

7. Financial risk management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash. Holding the cash in large Canadian financial institutions minimizes this risk. The Company has minimal accounts receivable exposure, and its amounts recoverable are due from a Canadian government agency. Credit risk is assessed as low.

Currency Risk

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. There is minimal foreign exchange risk to the Company as its mineral property interests are located in Canada. Management monitors its foreign currency balances and makes adjustments based on anticipated need for currencies. The Company does not engage in any hedging activities to reduce its foreign currency risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash balances at variable rates. The fair value of the Company’s cash accounts is relatively unaffected by changes in short term interest rates. The income earned on certain bank accounts is subject to the movements in interest rates. Currently, this risk will have an immaterial effect on operations.

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’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquid funds to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. As at June 30, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $135,908 to settle current liabilities of $54,373. All the liabilities presented as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within 90 days of June 30, 2022.

The Company’s expected source of cash flow in the upcoming year will be through equity financing. Cash on hand at June 30, 2022 and expected cash flows for the next 12 months are not sufficient to fund the Company’s ongoing operational needs. The Company will need funding through equity or debt financing, entering into joint venture agreements, or a combination thereof. Liquidity risk is assessed as low.

Capital Management

The Company is engaged in the mineral exploration field and manages related industry risk issues directly. The Company is potentially at risk for environmental issues and fluctuations in commodity based market prices associated with resource property interests. Management is of the opinion that the Company addresses environmental risk and compliance in accordance with industry standards and specific project environmental requirements.

The Company includes the components of equity in the definition of capital.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, purchase shares for cancellation or make special distributions to shareholders. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period.

7. Financial risk management (cont’d)

Fair value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

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

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties approximate their current fair values because of their nature and anticipated settlement dates.

Cash is measured at fair value based on level 1 inputs.

8. Supplemental disclosure with respect to cash flows

10. Commitment

During the period from February 2, 2022 to June 30, 2022, the Company completed issuances of flowthrough shares for gross proceeds of $90,000 (Note 5). The Company is required to spend the proceeds on qualified exploration programs no later than December 31, 2023. The Company will renounce the expenditures and available income tax benefits to the flow-through shareholders effective December 31, 2022. As at June 30, 2022 the Company had incurred the required qualifying expenditures.

11. Proposed transaction

The Company is in the process of completing an IPO by filing a prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. Pursuant to an Agency Agreement (the “Agency Agreement”) entered into between the Company and Haywood Securities Inc. (the “Agent”), the Company intends to offer 3,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) at $0.10 per common share to the public for gross proceeds of $350,000. The Company also granted the Agent an option (the “over-Allotment Option”) to sell up to an additional number of Offered Common Shares (the “Additional Offered Common Shares”) equal to 15% of the Offered Common Shares sold pursuant to the IPO. At closing, the Company will pay an agent’s commission of 10% of the gross proceeds and issue to the Agent compensation warrants (the “Broker Warrants”) equal to 10% of the aggregate number of Offered Units issued in the Offering. Each Broker Warrant entitles the Agent to purchase one common share of the Company at $0.10 at any time prior to the date that is 24 months from the closing date. The Agent will also be paid a corporate finance fee (the “Corporate Finance Fee”) of $34,000. In addition, the Company will also be responsible for expenses in relation to the IPO. Subsequent to the year end, the Company paid $10,000 as a deposit for IPO expenses.

12. Subsequent events

On November 14, 2022 the Company granted 700,000 options exercisable at a price of $0.10 per share until November 14, 2025 to directors and senior officers.

On November 14, 2022, the Company issued a total of 600,000 common shares at $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $30,000.

MACLAREN MINERALS LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian dollars - Unaudited) For the nine months ended March 31, 2023

1. Nature and continuance of operations

Maclaren Minerals Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 2, 2022 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. The Company’s registered office is Suite 2600 – 1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 3X1 and its corporate office and principal place of business of the Company is 800 West Pender Street, Suite 615, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2V6.

The Company is in the business of exploring its mineral exploration assets and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. As at March 31, 2023 the Company was in the exploration stage and had interests in properties in Canada.

The Company is in the process of filing an initial public offering (“IPO”) to be become publicly listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) (Note 9).

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. The Company has sustained losses from operations and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, and has an ongoing requirement for capital investment to explore its exploration and evaluation assets. As at March 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital of $71,414. Based on its current plans, budgeted expenditures, and cash requirements, the Company does not have sufficient cash to finance its current plans. These material uncertainties may cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due. The Company expects that it will need to raise additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. The Company expects to seek additional financing through equity financing. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing might be available.

These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the statement of financial position classifications used, that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation

The financial statements were authorized for issue on __, 2023 by the directors of the Company.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These financial statements comply with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

MACLAREN MINERALS LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian dollars - Unaudited) For the nine months ended March 31, 2023

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation (cont’d)

Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), which are stated at their fair value. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency, unless otherwise noted.

This interim financial report does not include all of the information required of a full annual financial report and is intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the period from incorporation on February 2, 2022 to June 30, 2022. These interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of application as those in the annual financial statements.

3. Exploration and evaluation asset

Boer Property (British Columbia)

On March 3, 2022, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire up to a 75% interest in four mining claims in the Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia.

To acquire a 51% interest, the Company must issue 100,000 common shares (issued) (Note 5) and make a cash payment of $5,000 (paid) to the vendor.

To earn the further 24% of the total 75% interest, the Company must pay the Optionor $10,000 on or before March 3, 2023 (paid), issue 100,000 common shares on the date of initial listing of the Company’s shares on a Canadian stock exchange, and incur aggregate exploration expenditures of $200,000 of which $75,000 must be incurred before March 3, 2023 (incurred) and $125,000 on or before the first anniversary of the initial listing of the Company’s shares on an exchange. Should the Company not earn the additional 24% interest, the property will revert back to the vendor. The property is subject to a net smelter royalty of 2% payable to the vendor.

MACLAREN MINERALS LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian dollars - Unaudited) For the nine months ended March 31, 2023

5. Share capital

Issuances (cont’d)

On March 3, 2022, the Company issued a total of 100,000 common shares with a fair value of $2,000 for the property acquisition (Note 3).

On March 7, 2022, the Company issued a total of 4,500,000 flow-through common shares at $0.02 per share for proceeds of $90,000. A director and senior officer subscribed for 250,000 flow-through shares.

On May 16, 2022, the Company issued a total of 3,000,000 common shares at $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $150,000.

On November 14, 2022, the Company issued a total of 600,000 common shares at $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $30,000.

Flow-through shares

For the purpose of calculation of any premium related to the issuance of the flow-through shares, the Company compares the market price of its shares to the subscription price of flow-through shares to determine if there was a premium paid on the flow-through shares. As a result, the Company’s flowthrough liability on issuance of flow-through shares in connection with the private placements was $nil.

Stock options

The Company adopted a stock option plan to grant options to individuals exercisable up to 10 years from the date of grant to purchase shares at the market price, less applicable discount, if any. Such grants not to exceed an aggregate of 10% of the issued and outstanding shares and vesting periods will be determined by the Board of Directors.

On November 14, 2022, the Company granted 700,000 stock options that vested upon grant and are exercisable at a price of $0.10 until November 14, 2025 to senior officers and directors. The estimated fair value of the options was $20,285 which was determined by the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: an annualized volatility of 115%; an expected life of 3 years; a dividend yield of 0%; and a risk-free rate of 3

Details of options outstanding as at March 31, 2023 are as follows:

Number of Options Exercise Price Expiry date Exercisable
700,000 $0.10 November 14, 2025 700,000

As at March 31, 2023 the options outstanding had a weighted average exercise price of $0.10 and a weighted average life of 2.63 years.

Reserves

Reserves include items recognized as share-based payments until such time that the stock options or warrants are exercised, at which time the corresponding amount will be transferred to share capital.

6. Related party transactions

Key management compensation

Key management personnel include those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole. The Company has determined that key management personnel consist of members of the Company's Board of Directors and corporate officers. The remuneration of directors and key management personnel made during the period ended March 31, 2023 and the period from February 2, 2022 to March 31, 2022, are as follows:

Nine months ended From incorporation on February 2, 2022
March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2022
Management fee $ 22,500 $ 3,750
Accounting fee 7,000 1,500
Share-based payment 20,285 -
Total $ 49,785 $ 5,250

Effective February 15, 2022 the Company entered into a management services agreement with a company controlled by a director and senior officer. Terms include a monthly fee of $2,500 and automatic renewal every six months unless terminated by either the Company or the service provider. The agreement also includes rent expense of $100 per month. The Company recorded rent of $900 during the period ended March 31, 2023 in connection with the agreement.

As at March 31, 2023, a total of $8,190 (June 30, 2022 - $nil) is payable to a company controlled by a director and senior officer and $12,000 (June 30, 2022 - $5,000) has been accrued as due to a director and senior officer. Amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing with no specific terms of repayment.

7. Financial risk management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash. Holding the cash in large Canadian financial institutions minimizes this risk. The Company has minimal accounts receivable exposure, and its amounts recoverable are due from a Canadian government agency. Credit risk is assessed as low.

Currency Risk

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. There is minimal foreign exchange risk to the Company as its mineral property interests are located in Canada. Management monitors its foreign currency balances and makes adjustments based on anticipated need for currencies. The Company does not engage in any hedging activities to reduce its foreign currency risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash balances at variable rates. The fair value of the Company’s cash accounts is relatively unaffected by changes in short term interest rates. The income earned on certain bank accounts is subject to the movements in interest rates. Currently, this risk will have an immaterial effect on operations.

10

MACLAREN MINERALS LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian dollars - Unaudited) For the nine months ended March 31, 2023

7. Financial risk management (cont’d)

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’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquid funds to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. As at March 31, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $94,416 to settle current liabilities of $39,176. All the liabilities presented as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within 90 days of March 31, 2023.

The Company’s expected source of cash flow in the upcoming year will be through equity financing. Cash on hand at March 31 2023 and expected cash flows for the next 12 months are not sufficient to fund the Company’s ongoing operational needs. The Company will need funding through equity or debt financing, entering into joint venture agreements, or a combination thereof. Liquidity risk is assessed as low.

Capital Management

The Company is engaged in the mineral exploration field and manages related industry risk issues directly. The Company is potentially at risk for environmental issues and fluctuations in commodity based market prices associated with resource property interests. Management is of the opinion that the Company addresses environmental risk and compliance in accordance with industry standards and specific project environmental requirements.

The Company includes the components of equity in the definition of capital.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, purchase shares for cancellation or make special distributions to shareholders. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period.

Fair value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

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

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties approximate their current fair values because of their nature and anticipated settlement dates.

Cash is measured at fair value based on level 1 inputs.

9. Proposed transaction

The Company is in the process of completing an IPO by filing a prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. Pursuant to an Agency Agreement (the “Agency Agreement”) entered into between the Company and Haywood Securities Inc. (the “Agent”), the Company intends to offer 3,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) at $0.10 per common share to the public for gross proceeds of $350,000. The Company also granted the Agent an option (the “over-Allotment Option”) to sell up to an additional number of Offered Common Shares (the “Additional Offered Common Shares”) equal to 15% of the Offered Common Shares sold pursuant to the IPO. At closing, the Company will pay an agent’s commission of 10% of the gross proceeds and issue to the Agent compensation warrants (the “Broker Warrants”) equal to 10% of the aggregate number of Offered Units issued in the Offering. Each Broker Warrant entitles the Agent to purchase one common share of the Company at $0.10 at any time prior to the date that is 24 months from the closing date. The Agent will also be paid a corporate finance fee (the “Corporate Finance Fee”) of $34,000. In addition, the Company will also be responsible for expenses in relation to the IPO. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the Company paid $10,000 as a deposit for IPO expenses.

Net Loss for the Period $(54,924) $ (4,015)
Lossper Share $ (0.01) $(0.00)

The increase in the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 is due to increase in corporate activity and commencement of mineral exploration activity in the period compared to initial start-up activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

EXPLORATION AND PROJECTS

The principal asset of the Company is its option to acquire up to a 75% interest in the Boer Property, a gold prospect.

Boer Property

On March 3, 2022 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire up to a 75% interest in four mining claims in the Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia. To acquire a 51% interest, the Company issued 100,000 common shares (issued for $2,000) and made a cash payment of $5,000 (paid) to the vendor.

To earn a further 24% (for a total of 75%), the Company must pay the vendor $10,000 on or before March 3, 2023 (paid), issue 100,000 common shares on the date of the initial listing of the Company’s shares on an exchange, and incur aggregate exploration expenditures of $200,000 of which $75,000 must be incurred before March 3, 2023 (incurred) and $125,000 on or before the first anniversary of the initial listing of the Company’s shares on an exchange (incurred $17,465 as at June 30, 2022). Should the Company not earn the additional 24% interest, the property will revert back to the vendor.

The property is subject to a net smelter return royalty of 2% payable to the vendors.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company’s principal activity is mineral exploration and development. Companies in this industry are subject to many and varied kinds of risks, including but not limited to, environmental, metal prices, political and economical. The Company has no producing properties, no significant source of operating cash flow and consequently no sales or revenue from operations. The Company has either not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable or where reserves have been determined, mining operations have not yet commenced. The Company has limited financial resources. Substantial expenditures are required to be made by the Company to establish reserves.

The property interests in whom the Company has an option to earn an interest are in the exploration stages only, are without and may not result in any discoveries of commercial mineralization, and have no ongoing mining operations. Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and few properties, which are explored, are ultimately developed into producing mines, the result being the Company will be forced to look for other exploration projects. The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous materials and other matters.

Net Loss for the Period $ (28,731)
Lossper Share $(0.01)

The decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 is due to reduced corporate activity. The increase in the period ended December 31, 2022 is as a result of stock-based payment expense of $20,285 which was recognized in 2023 Q2. The decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2022 reflects the decrease in activity as a result of completion of the exploration program. The increase in the threemonth period ended June 30, 2022 is due to increase in corporate activity and commencement of mineral exploration activity in the period compared to initial start-up activities in the two month period ended March 31, 2022. The period ended March 31, 2022 also recognized deferred income tax expense arising from the issuance of flow-through shares.
