The financial statements of Kuya and the pro forma consolidated financial statements included in this Information Circular have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”), and are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and audited in accordance with United States auditing and auditor independence standards.

Reasons for the Transaction

The business combination between the Miramont and Kuya pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement was negotiated at arm’s length by Kuya and Miramont on the basis that it will create long‐term value for Kuya Shareholders and Miramont Shareholders. In particular, Kuya entered into the Transaction for the purposes of becoming publicly listed, which will provide it with greater ability to attract capital resources and expand its business, whereas Miramont would benefit by acquiring Kuya’s interest in the Bethania Silver Property and the opportunity to acquire a controlling 80% interest in Andes. For further details, refer to “ The Transaction – Further Particulars of the Transaction – Recommendations of the Miramont Directors ”.

The Miramont Board has reviewed the terms and conditions of the Amalgamation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and have concluded that such transactions are fair and reasonable to the Miramont Shareholders, and in the best interests of Miramont. The Miramont Board therefore recommends that the Miramont Shareholders vote in favour of the Miramont Fundamental Change Resolution. Management Proxyholders intend to vote proxies received in favour of management for the approval of the Miramont Fundamental Change Resolution.

In arriving at its respective conclusion, the Miramont Board considered, among other matters:

  • information with respect to the financial condition, business and operations, on both a historical and prospective basis, of both the Miramont Group and Kuya;

  • the future prospects of the business of each of the Miramont Group and Kuya;

20

  • through greater size and diversity, Miramont Shareholders and Kuya Shareholders will have more exposure to potential investment opportunities;

  • current economic and financial market conditions;

  • the procedures by which the Transaction is to be approved;

  • the tax treatment of Miramont Shareholders in connection with the Transaction;

  • the management group and technical team of Kuya; and

  • the regulations of the CSE regarding Fundamental Changes.

The Miramont Board also identified disadvantages associated with the Amalgamation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the fact that after the Transaction:

  • Miramont Shareholders will be subject to dilution of their interest in Miramont; and

  • the risk factors applicable to the Transaction, and each of Kuya and Miramont respectively. See “ The Transaction – Further Particulars of the Transaction – Transaction Risk Factors ” and “ Schedule “C” – Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Risk Factors ”.

See “The Transaction – Further Particulars of the Transaction – Recommendations of the Miramont Directors ”, and the financial statements of Kuya attached as Schedule “D” to this Information Circular and unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements attached as Schedule “E” to this Information Circular.

For Canadian federal income tax purposes, a Kuya Shareholder whose Kuya Shares represent “capital property” generally will not realize a capital gain or capital loss on the exchange of such shares for Resulting Issuer Shares in connection with the Transaction.

Completion of the Transaction may have tax consequences under the laws of the United States, and any such tax consequences are not described in this Information Circular. United States shareholders of Miramont and Kuya are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine any particular tax consequences to them of the transactions completed in connection with the Transaction.

Securities Laws Information for Canadian Shareholders

The issuance of the Resulting Issuer Shares to Kuya Shareholders pursuant to the Transaction will constitute a distribution of securities, which is exempt from the prospectus requirements of Canadian securities legislation.

The resale of any Resulting Issuer Shares acquired in connection with the Transaction may be required to be made through properly registered securities dealers.

See “ The Transaction – Further Particulars of the Transaction – Securities Laws Considerations ”.

Securities Laws Information for United States Shareholders

Shareholders should consult their own legal and financial advisors concerning the applicable United States federal, state and local securities law consequences of the Transaction. See “ The Transaction – Further Particulars of the Transaction – Securities Laws Considerations ”.

Risk Factors

An investment in the Resulting Issuer Shares involves a significant degree of risk. The current business of Kuya will be the business of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Transaction. Accordingly, risk factors relating to

26

Kuya’s current business will be risk factors relating to the Resulting Issuer’s business. Due to the nature of the Resulting Issuer’s business, the legal and economic climate in which it will operate and the present stage of the Bethania Silver Property, the Resulting Issuer Shares to be issued in connection with the Transaction are subject to a number of risk factors.

Further Particulars of the Transaction

Reasons for the Transaction

The business combination between the Miramont and Kuya pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement was negotiated at arm’s length by Kuya and Miramont on the basis that it will create long‐term value for Kuya Shareholders and Miramont Shareholders. In particular, Kuya entered into the Transaction for the purposes of becoming publicly listed, which will provide it with greater ability to attract capital resources and expand its business, whereas Miramont would benefit by acquiring Kuya’s interest in the Bethania Silver Property and the opportunity to acquire a controlling 80% interest in Andes. For further details, refer to “ The Transaction – Further Particulars of the Transaction – Recommendations of the Miramont Directors ”.

In determining the number of Resulting Issuer Shares to be issued in exchange for the post‐Consolidation Miramont Shares and Kuya Shares, the Miramont Board and Kuya Board, respectively, considered a number of relevant factors including:

  • the market value, financial and other assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities and risks as applicable to each of the Miramont Group and Kuya; and

  • the opportunity for growth in the Kuya’s principal project and additional market opportunities available for the Resulting Issuer as a public company.

37

See “The Transaction – Further Particulars of the Transaction – Recommendations of the Miramont Directors ”, and the financial statements attached to this Information Circular.

Recommendations of the Miramont Directors

The Miramont Board has reviewed the terms and conditions of the Amalgamation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and have concluded that such transactions are fair and reasonable to the Miramont Shareholders, and in the best interests of Miramont. The Miramont Board therefore recommends that the Miramont Shareholders vote in favour of the Miramont Fundamental Change Resolution. Management Proxyholders intend to vote proxies received in favour of management for the approval of the Miramont Fundamental Change Resolution.

In arriving at its respective conclusion, the Miramont Board considered, among other matters:

  • information with respect to the financial condition, business and operations, on both a historical and prospective basis, of both the Miramont Group and Kuya;

  • the future prospects of the business of each of the Miramont Group and Kuya;

  • through greater size and diversity, Miramont Shareholders and Kuya Shareholders will have more exposure to potential investment opportunities;

  • current economic and financial market conditions;

  • the procedures by which the Transaction is to be approved;

  • the tax treatment of Miramont Shareholders in connection with the Transaction;

  • the management group and technical team of Kuya; and

  • the regulations of the CSE regarding Fundamental Changes.

The Miramont Board also identified disadvantages associated with the Amalgamation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the fact that after the Transaction:

  • Miramont Shareholders will be subject to dilution of their interest in Miramont; and

Three Year History

Financial Year Ended December 31, 2019

On July 31, 2019, Kuya received a technical report prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43‐101 ‐ Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“ NI 43‐101 ”) for the Bethania Silver Property, titled “ Independent Technical Report on the Bethania Silver Project, Department of Huancavelica, Province of Huancavelica, District of Acobambilla, Peru ” with an effective date of July 31, 2019.

During 2019, Kuya raised USD$1,381,500 at USD$1.00 per share and raised USD$234,880 at USD$1.20 per share. Over the course of 2019 Kuya’s investments into the Bethania SPA included financial restructuring of Andes, permitting the concentration plant and tailings storage, basic engineering design, and care and maintenance of the mine.

Financial Year Ended December 31, 2018

During 2018, Kuya raised USD$1,494,000 through the issuance of units priced at USD$1.00 per unit. Each unit included one Kuya common share and a one quarter of a common share performance warrant, which would be exercised at a nominal cost on completion of the acquisition of 80% of Andes by Kuya. In September 2018, Kuya raised an additional USD$238,200 through the issuance of Kuya Shares priced at USD$1.00 per Kuya Share. Over the course of the year Kuya’s investments into the Bethania SPA included financial restructuring of Andes, permitting the concentration plant and tailings storage, and care and maintenance of the mine.

Financial Year Ended December 31, 2017

In October 2017, Kuya entered into the Bethania SPA to acquire up to 80% of the shares of Andes, a private Peruvian company based in Lima, that owns 100% of the Bethania Silver Property (Santa Elena concession) and Chinita I concession (together the “ Asset ”).

Kuya agreed to acquire an 80% controlling interest in the Asset from Alfredo Soria and Erika Soria (the “ Soria Family ”), the owners of Andes, by investing a total of USD$10,000,000; a combination of work and capital/debt commitments to the Asset, cash payments, and Kuya Shares. The current Bethania SPA, most recently amended in June 2020, outlines the following payments to acquire the Asset:

B3

  • USD$4,500,000 investment in the Bethania Silver Property:

  • USD$2,500,000 toward repayment of debt and liabilities.

  • USD$2,000,000 for a work program (drilling, PEA, mine expansion), mine care and maintenance, G&A, and deal costs.

  • USD$3,500,000 acquisition payment (cash).

  • USD$2,000,000 in Kuya Shares at a deemed price of USD$1.00 on closing of acquisition of Andes.

The entire investment and payments must be made by April 30, 2021. If Kuya reaches this deadline date before the entire investment amount and payment has been completed or Kuya terminates the Bethania SPA prior to the deadline date, it will receive the proportional ownership of Andes based on a total valuation of USD$12,500,000 and enter into a new shareholders’ agreement with the Soria Family. Also, in the event that Kuya determines that the entire amount allocated to debt and liabilities repayment is not required, the difference could be re‐allocated to the work program at Kuya’s discretion such that the total investment amount remains the same. In the most recent amendment to the SPA, Kuya and Andes confirmed an investment up to April 30, 2020 of USD$3,660,000 and agreed to convert USD$3,110,000 of that investment into a 27% interest in Andes and retain a loan to Andes for USD$550,000 plus amount invested in the future under the terms of the Bethania SPA. From April 30, 2020 to July 31, 2020, Kuya invested an additional USD$198,000 under the terms of the SPA for a total investment of USD$3,858,000.

Significant Events and Milestones

In order for Kuya to be able to meet its business objectives noted above, Kuya will be required to complete the Financings and the Transaction which is expected to occur on or before October 31, 2020.

Specialized Skills and Knowledge

The nature of Kuya’s business requires specialized skills, knowledge and expertise in the areas of geology, engineering, mine planning and environmental compliance. In addition to the specialized skills listed above, Kuya also relies on staff members, local contractors and consultants with specialized knowledge of logistics and operations in the regions in which it operates.

In order to attract and retain personnel with the specialized skills and knowledge required for our operations, Kuya maintains remuneration and compensation packages it believes to be competitive. As of the date hereof, Kuya has been able to adequately meet its staffing requirements.

Competitive Conditions

Competition in the mineral exploration and production industry is intense. Kuya competes with a number of large, established mining companies with greater financial resources and technical facilities, for the acquisition and development of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other interests, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and consultants and the equipment required to continue Kuya’s exploration activities.

The executives of Kuya have assembled a management team, supported by local consultants, who have extensive experience in the mining industry.

In Kuya’s immediate area in central Peru there could be competition for exploration properties that may be strategic to the Bethania project, local human resources and services. Within a 10 km radius of the Bethania Mine, Minera IRL

B5

Ltd. (MIRL‐CSE) operates the Corihuarmi gold mine and has in the past undertaken regional exploration in the area. Industrias Peñoles S.A.B. de C.V. (IPOAF‐US OTC) currently maintains an exploration project to the north of Bethania. Additionally, there are several private Peruvian ventures in the region at varying stages of exploration and development.

Risks Associated with Foreign Operations

Kuya’s Bethania Silver property, along with certain non‐material assets, are located in Peru and, as such, its operations are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties which could result in work stoppages of the Kuya’s exploration activities. There is currently no local opposition to exploration activities, but there can be no assurance that such local opposition will not arise with respect to the Kuya’s Peru operations. Kuya’s exploration and development activities are subject to extensive foreign federal, state and local laws and regulations governing such matters as environmental protection, management and use of toxic substances and explosives, management of natural resources, health, safety and labour, mining law reform, price controls import and export laws, taxation, maintenance of claims, tenure, government royalties and expropriation of property. There is no assurance that future changes in such regulations, if any, will not adversely affect the Kuya’s activities.

Business or Seasonal Cycles

The Bethania Silver Property is located in a location where mining activities can be carried out year‐round, however during the “wet season”, which can be from December to February, certain surface activities, including exploration and construction, may be impeded by either wet or snowy conditions.

Economic Dependence

Other than with respect to the Bethania SPA, Kuya’s business is not substantially dependent on any contract. It is not expected that Kuya’s business will be affected in the current financial year by the re‐negotiation or termination of any contracts or sub‐contracts.

Changes to Contracts

In the most recent Amendment to the Bethania SPA, which was signed on June 4, 2020, the following material changes were made to the Bethania SPA:

  • the deadline date to fulfill terms of agreement was extended to April 30, 2021;

  • confirmation of USD$3,660,000 invested as of April 30, 2020 and agreement to convert USD$3,110,000 into a 27% interest in Andes and retain a loan to Andes for USD$550,000 plus amount invested in the future under the terms of the Bethania SPA. The issuance of shares in Andes to Kuya will occur concurrently with a new shareholders agreement being signed by Kuya and the certain other shareholders; and

  • Kuya shares issued to the shareholders of Andes as payment cannot be sold for one year after issuance.

Environmental Protection

Andes has secured all the necessary operational permits (mine, explosives, water usage), has an approved Declaracion de Impacto Ambiental (“ DIA ”) which addresses the environmental and social impact of the mine and allows the company to carry out mining operations in the mine area. Recently, the law was changed requiring small mines, such a Bethania to obtain a separate water discharge permit. Kuya is currently engaged in designing a water treatment system for the mine in order to obtain the water discharge permit.

With Kuya’s support, Andes began working towards approval of an Evaluacion de Impacto Ambiantal (“ EIA ”) required to construct a plant at site in 2018. As a small mine, Bethania is required to obtain permits from the Direccion Regional de Energia y Minas (“ DREM ”) in Huancavelica Department. In Peru, the local community has an important

B6

role in the EIA, and in the case of Bethania, the Poroche community was required to approve the EIA through a series of in‐person workshops and approve additional surface usage, before the EIA can be submitted. The community issued their approval for additional surface usage in August 2019 and approved the EIA at the final community workshop in December 2019. Currently the EIA is in the review phase with DREM in Huancavelica as well as the Autoridad Nacional de Agua (“ANA”) in Lima.

Employees

Kuya employed an average of ten (10) consultants during the year.

Property Description, Location and Access

Property Description and Location

The Bethania Silver Project, located in the high Andes of Central Peru and about 70 km (direct) southwest of the city of Huancayo, capital city of neighbouring Junín Department, consists of four concessions situated near the borders of the departments of Huancavelica, Lima and Junín. Collectively, the four concessions are referred to as the Bethania Silver Project (the “ Project ”) and the focus of this Report is the Santa Elena concession (the “ Property ”, “Bethania Property” or “ Bethania Mine ”).

The Santa Elena concession, on which the Bethania Silver Mine is located, is in the northwestern part of Huancavelica Department, Province of Huancavelica, and District of Acobambilla. The Property is about 316 km by road from Peru’s capital city of Lima, but it is possible to fly from Lima to Jauja (Jauja is about 50 km or an one hour drive from Huancayo) and then drive southwest to the Property via Huancayo (about 4 hours).

Historically known as Mina Santa Elena, the Bethania Mine operated on and off from 1977 and was put on care and maintenance in 2016. The Bethania Mine and related infrastructure are centred at approximate UTM coordinates

B7

442766mE, 8603236mS (PSAD56, UTM Zone 18 South; EPSG:24878) and at about 4,688 metres above sea level (“mASL”).

Access

From Huancayo it is about 120 km to the small village of Bethania, first along a well‐maintained paved road to the village of Chongos Alto (~2 hours) and then secondarily along a gravel road that winds its way through the interior to the Property. The drive from the city of Huancayo to the Bethania Mine takes about 3.5 to 4.0 hours and is best accomplished in a 4x4 truck.

Royalties, Agreements and Encumbrances

As of 2018, mine production in Peru is subject to a royalty, payable to the Peruvian government. This royalty is based on a percentage of the sale value of the minerals being exploited, ranging between 1% and 3% (Table 5).

Table 5. Production royalties payable to the government of Peru.

Total Mineral Sales Royalty Payable
<US$60M 1.00%
US$60M to<US$120M 2.00%
≥US$120M 3.00%

There are no other production royalties attached to the Bethania Silver Property.

Mineral Titles

The Peruvian state is the owner of natural resources, which include minerals; therefore, the Peruvian state owns mining rights. Exploration use and exploitation of mining rights can be granted to private parties, through the regime of mining concessions. Mining concessions have the nature of immoveable goods.

The Bethania Silver Property, registered as Santa Elena (Bethania Mine), is licensed as a mining concession and was originally registered in 1970 to cover artisanal and colonial‐era pits and workings known at the time. This concession, covering 45 hectares (1.5 km x 300 m), is owned 100% by Peruvian company Andes (Table 4).

Andes also has registered 100% in their name, the Chinita I concession, located about 5.5 km to the west of the Santa Elena concession (Bethania Mine). The Chinita I concession is 2.0 kilometres by 1.0 kilometres and covers 200 hectares (Figure 3).

Aerecura Materiales SAC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kuya, has filed for two additional concessions in the area, Tres Banderas 01 and 02, which are contiguous and together cover some 1500 hectares (Table 4). These two concessions are currently “En Tramite” (translation: in process), but it is expected that they will be converted to “Titulado” (translation: titled) within one year of their respective application dates. Kuya is permitted to undertake exploration work on the two concessions while they are in the process of being granted.

B8

In Peru, mineral concessions are granted following receipt of a paper application specifying the coordinates of the claim boundaries, based on UTM Zone 18 South (datum WGS 1984) coordinates. All pre‐2016 claims were staked using the PSAD 1956 datum but were subsequently converted to the new WGS 1984 coordinate system. All new concessions must use the new grid and must be at least 100 ha in area. Where new claims overlap with older concessions converted to the new system, the older concession has precedence.

Mining concessions are considered immovable assets and are therefore subject to being transferred, optioned, leased and/or granted as collateral (mortgaged) and, in general, may be subject to any transaction or contract not specifically forbidden by law. Mining concessions may be privately owned and the participation in the ownership of the Peruvian State is not required. Buildings and other permanent structures used in a mining operation are considered real property accessories to the concession on which they are situated.

Two of the four concessions are “Titulado” and are in good standing and Caracle is not aware of any pending litigation or legal issues relating to the Property. Assuming the requisite annual investment is achieved and annual “Derecho de Vigencia” (right of validity) payments are made, concessions are considered irrevocable.

Note: After the effective date of the Technical report, Tres Banderas 02 property was converted to “Titulado” (translation: Titled) status on August 14, 2019.

Surface Rights

Mining concessions constitute a different right from surface land over it. Owners of surface lands are not authorised to perform mining activities, unless they have a valid mining concession title granted by the INGEMMET. Surface rights are not included in mineral rights, and permission must be obtained in writing from owners and a two third majority of community members when surface rights are owned by local communities, before commencing drilling activities.

The surface lands in the area of the Bethania Mine belong to the Community of Poroche. Kuya has a long‐term agreement signed with the Poroche which allows them surface access to the 45 hectares of the Santa Elena concession (Bethania Mine). In addition, Kuya recently signed an agreement to allow Kuya to indefinitely access and permit 37 hectares of Poroche lands to be used for the planned processing plant and tailings facility. A further area of land has been secured by Kuya from the Poroche to be used for a future water treatment plant.

Nature of Title

Kuya agreed to acquire an 80% controlling interest in the Asset from Alfredo Soria and Erika Soria (the “Soria Family” ‐ owners of Andes) by investing a total of USD$10,000,000; a combination of work and capital/debt commitments to the Asset, cash payments, and shares in Kuya. The current Bethania SPA (amended February 2019) outlines the following transaction:

  • USD$4,500,000 investment in the Bethania Mine project:

  • USD$2,500,000 toward repayment of debt and liabilities.

  • USD$2,000,000 for a work program (drilling, PEA, mine expansion), mine care and maintenance, general and administrative expenses and deal costs.

  • USD$3,500,000 deferred acquisition payment (cash).

  • USD$2,000,000 in Kuya shares (share price of $1.00) on closing of acquisition.

Please see “Information Concerning Kuya ‐ General Development of Business – Recent Developments” for a summary on recent amendments to the Bethania SPA and current ownership interests of Kuya in the Bethania Silver Property.

Permitting and Environmental Liabilities

Andes has secured all the necessary operational permits (mine, explosives, water usage), has an approved Declaracion de Impacto Ambiental (“ DIA ”) which addresses the environmental and social impact of the mine and allows the company to carry out mining operations in the mine area. Recently, the law was changed requiring small mines, such as Bethania to obtain a separate water discharge permit. Kuya is currently engaged in designing a water treatment system for the mine in order to obtain the water discharge permit.

With Kuya’s support, Andes began working towards approval of an Evaluacion de Impacto Ambiantal (“ EIA ”) required to construct a plant at site in 2018. As a small mine, Bethania is required to obtain permits from the Direccion Regional de Energia y Minas (“ DREM ”) in Huancavelica Department. In Peru, the local community has an important role in the EIA, and in the case of Bethania, the Poroche community was required to approve the EIA through a series of in‐person workshops and approve additional surface usage, before the EIA can be submitted. The community issued their approval for additional surface usage in August 2019 and approved the EIA at the final community workshop in December 2019. Currently the EIA is in the review phase with DREM in Huancavelica as well as the Autoridad Nacional de Agua (“ ANA ”) in Lima.

History

According to locals, silver veins in the region and on the Property (e.g., Española Vein) were first exploited by the Spaniards as early as the 1600s, through small‐scale mining of the rich silver veins. Modern exploitation of the vein systems (Española and 12 de Mayo veins) started in 1977, was suspended in the 1980s due to political issues in Peru (i.e., terrorism), and subsequently re‐started production in 2008 which continued until 2016.

Property Ownership

Although production at the Bethania Mine began in 1977, the earliest confirmed ownership of the Property (Santa Elena Mine) comes from a 1988 technical report by Minero Bank of Peru, which points to the owner as engineer Heraclio Lopez.

In 1989, the Bethania Silver Property was purchased and transferred to company S&L Andes Export S.A.C., owned by the Soria family (Peru), the current owner of the Bethania Silver Property.

Exploration Surface

The earliest written referral to the Bethania Silver Property is from an August 1988 technical report prepared by the Minero Bank of Peru. This report also refers to a regional study carried out by Minero Bank in 1977 that examined the Bethania – Huarmicocha areas including the Santa Elena Mine. The 1988 report by Minero Bank described exploration in the region as minimal and production from the Santa Elena Mine as small‐scale, implicating the lack of a nearby concentration plant as the main reason for it remaining small. Production methods at this time focused on high‐grade, selective mining of the veins.

Historical surface exploration on the Bethania Silver Property by Andes (2008‐2016) has been limited to geological and structural mapping and rock sampling, trenching and sampling, and the drilling of short “pack sack” drill holes. The general locations and projections of some of these packsack drill holes are shown on mine level plans but results from this drilling are not available. No other surface exploration is known to have been completed on the Bethania Silver Property.

Due Diligence Sampling ‐ 2017

In January 2017, David Stein and Christian Aramayo visited the Bethania Mine as part of the Kuya’s due diligence. At this time, two grab samples were collected from the Bethania Silver Property (Table 7): (1) Rock sample from mineralized quartz stockwork which assayed 74.74 g/t Ag and 0.55 g/t Au; and, (2) Sample from ore stockpile which assayed 554.40 g/t Ag, 1.71 g/t Au, 6.60% Pb, 1.13% Zn, and 0.45% Cu. Of significance are the high concentrations of silver and anomalous gold in the quartz stockwork which occurs at various locations on the Bethania Silver Property (surface and underground) in regions between historically targeted vein systems and has never been the target for potentially economic ore.

– Exploration Underground

Andes provides the most thorough documentation on underground exploration on the Bethania Silver Property. Exploration for vein extensions, vein splays and new veins is a continuous part of the mining plan/program at the Santa Elena (Bethania Mine). For example, ahead of the 2012 mining year, Andes proposed their exploration plan:

During the period of 2012, in the project will be developed an intense exploration program in the back of the denunciation with the purpose of locating more economic veins and in this way to prolong the useful Life of Mine, will develop exploration short, cruises, chimneys and galleries. The work was mainly directed towards the exploration of the main veins (12 de Mayo and Española 1), as well as to the surface exposures of veins (Española 2 and Santa Elena), with some later exploration aimed at the structures identified in the underground mine, such as the Victoria, 12 de Mayo, Branch, Carolina, Rocio, and Betzaida.

Historical Mineral Reserves and Resources

Andes has calculated its own internal mine resources and reserves for internal planning purposes and at times to promote investment in the mine (Milla, 2016a; Milla and Osorio, 2016). These calculations, summarized in Table 1‐ 1, have not been verified by a third party nor independently by a QP and are therefore not considered by Company management as being NI 43‐101 or JORC Code compliant.

The Author has reviewed the amount and quality of the data used by Andes and their modelling methods and is of the opinion that the mineral resources and reserves, although not independently calculated, are of high quality and reliable for the purposes of operations and planning at the Bethania Mine.

Historical Stockpile Resources

A historical estimation of three stockpiles located on the Property, are estimated to contain some 25,000 tonnes of material at an approximate grade of 11.5 oz/t Ag, 4.5% Pb, and 1.3% Zn. Details of the size and grades of the three stockpiles are provided in Table 1‐2. The Author noted the presence of the three stockpiles on the Property but did not conduct any sampling.

Table 1‐2. Summary of historical mineral resources from three stockpiles on the property:

Geology and Mineralization

The Bethania Silver Project is located in the Cordillera Central, which contains prolific and prospective base and precious metals belts that are host to numerous styles of mineralisation including epithermal Au‐Ag, porphyry Cu‐ Au‐Mo, and replacement/skarn Zn‐Cu. Peru is the second largest silver producer in the world with approximately 50% of silver production associated with gold production and 50% associated with base metal/polymetallic mines.

Given the lithological, structural, mineralogical and alteration characteristics observed at the Project and specifically in the Bethania Mine vein system, mineralization identified to date can be classified as a polymetallic intermediate sulphidation epithermal (“ISE”), with significant accumulations of silver, lead, zinc, copper, and gold. The Bethania Mine and other deposits, occurrences and mines in the immediate area are interpreted to be located within an ancient volcanic caldera.

Exploration Potential

At the Bethania Mine (Santa Elena concession), much can be gained by drilling along the well‐known northeast‐ trending and lesser explored northwest‐trending mineralized structures to determine continuity, from surface and/or from underground. In most cases, this should be a relatively low risk method to increase the resource size, resource confidence and understanding of the mineralization on the Property.

Historically, production has focused on the vein systems at Bethania and to date, no systematic studies have been conducted to identify and characterize the disseminated sulphide mineralization observed in the host rocks (i.e., altered andesite‐dacite and stockwork siliceous breccias) located between the vein sets.

Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

Veins at the Bethania Mine have been mined, most recently and at small‐scale, on and off between 1977 and 2016. Total silver recovery from January 2013 to August 2016, a combination of what was recovered from the production of lead and zinc concentrates through toll milling, was 741,804.83 ounces of silver. Between 2001 and 2015, there were six metallurgical studies commissioned by Andes that have been reported on by independent laboratories using material from the Santa Elena Mine (Bethania Mine).

Environmental Studies, Permitting and Social or Community Impact

Andes has secured all the necessary operational permits (mine, explosives, water usage), has an approved Declaracion de Impacto Ambiental (“ DIA ”) which addresses the environmental and social impact of the mine and

B12

allows the company to carry out mining operations in the mine area. Recently, the law was changed requiring small mines, such as Bethania to obtain a separate water discharge permit. Kuya is currently engaged in designing a water treatment system for the mine in order to obtain the water discharge permit.

For an update on the Environmental Studies, Permitting and Social of Community Impact, please see “ Business of Kuya ‐ Environmental Protection” above.

Adjacent Properties

With the exception of the Corihuarmi gold heap leach mine to the northwest, properties adjacent to or within a few kilometres of the Santa Elena concession (Bethania Mine) are fragmented among several different owners, none of which are nearly as advanced or have the mining infrastructure of the Bethania Mine (Stein, 2018). The Author, in consultation with the Company, considers the most important adjacent prospects to be immediately north, south and west of the Property:

  • 1) Immediately north of the Bethania Mine on what is referred to as the “Fiopo I” concession, there are several polymetallic showings and what appear to be abandoned artisanal mines. This ground has been held and explored in the past by Mineral IRL Limited (“ MIRL ”).

  • 2) South of the Bethania Mine, on what is referred to as the “El Alcatraz 12” concession, Stein (2018) described linear silicified outcrops similar to what is observed above mineralized veins at the Bethania Mine site ‐ sulphides are weathered away leaving a silica dominant host rock. There are also polymetallic showings noted on regional maps, similar to those on the Fiopo I concession. This concession was previously worked as a joint venture between Minera IRL and Rio Blanco Copper.

  • 3) MIRL drill‐tested the area south of the Bethania Mine between 2008 and 2010 (mostly on the El Alcatraz 12 concession). No resource was ever reported, but several significant intersections of low‐grade gold (~0.5 g/t Au) were reported from surface. The low‐grade disseminated gold is reportedly similar to Minera IRL’s Corihuarmi Mine, located approximately 5 km northwest of the Bethania Mine. The gold mineralization may be an indicated of a larger regional porphyry system that was feeding several different styles of precious and base metal mineralization in the area, including mineralization at the Bethania Mine. In July 2010, MIRL reported initial exploration drilling results had indicated a potentially widely disseminated gold and copper system with plenty of space for a large mineralized body or bodies within the system. Six drill holes intersected broad zones of gold copper molybdenum mineralization, characteristic of the targeted porphyry system. The best drill hole results, from RC10‐BET10 intersected 276 metres from surface averaging 0.38 g/t Au, 0.09% Cu, and 30 ppm Mo, including (also from surface) 72 metres at 0.66 g/t Au, 0.13% Cu, and 40 ppm molybdenum. Hole RC10‐BET07 averaged 0.32 g/t Au, 0.09% Cu, and 32 ppm Mo over the entire 426 metres of the hole and included a zone of 124 metres at 0.39 g/t Au, 0.10% Cu, and 22 ppm molybdenum from 260 metres down hole. Drill hole RC10‐BET09 recorded two intersections: 90 metres from surface at 0.46 g/t Au, 0.15% Cu, and 54 ppm Mo plus 64 metres from 216 metres down hole grading 0.41 g/t Au, 0.11% Cu, and 25 ppm molybdenum. Drill hole RC10‐BET11 averaged 0.29 g/t Au, 0.10% Cu, and 30 ppm Mo over 424 metres from surface (MIRL news release July 5, 2019).

  • 4) West of the Bethania Mine and immediately east of the Chinita I concession, are three properties owned by the same owner and known as Carmelitas. None of the properties have been permitted to mines, however several “exploration” adits have been opened up and polymetallic mineralization has been recovered. The size and potential of these artisanal mines is not yet known.

Other Relevant Data and Information

Kuya is acquiring up to an 80% controlling interest in the Bethania Silver Project with a plan to modernize and upgrade the mine and expand production. Contingent on financing, initial expansion will take the mine to 350 tonnes

B13

per day (“tpd”) in the first year and subject to further exploration results at Bethania, as well as regional exploration results, Kuya may evaluate a second expansion to +500 tpd.

Interpretation and Conclusions

The Property, located in the Cordillera Central of Peru, is host to volcanic‐hosted intermediate sulphidation epithermal Ag‐Pb‐Zn‐Cu‐Au mineralization. This polymetallic mineralization is primarily hosted by northeast‐ trending veins and structures which contain bonanza grade silver grades (i.e., >100 g/t Ag) and are hosted by altered andesite and dacite.

Given the extensive northeast‐trending vein systems, the possibility of additional resources from the intervening mineralized volcanic host rock, prospectivity of the mineralized hydrothermal quartz stockwork (siliceous bodies), and the potential in the as yet unexplored northwest‐trending veins, the Bethania Silver Property (Santa Elena) exhibits significant exploration upside.

Although historical in nature, mineral resources and reserves calculated by Andes and possibly containing 8.3M ounces of silver in 435,000 tonnes, demonstrate the future production potential of the Bethania Mine. Moreover, the stockpiles located on the mining concession could contain some 326,000 ounces of silver in 25,000 tonnes which could provide ready‐feed to future production that could be treated in a process plant immediately, while underground development and mining continues.

In addition to exploration, the Company is in the process of developing a mining plan for near‐future implementation, along with the permitting and design of a 350 tpd process plant (flotation) and related water and tailings storage facilities. During the mine planning phase, the Company may want to evaluate the historical use of cut and fill mining methods against a potential change to the shrinkage stoping method.

Recommendations

It is the Author’s opinion that additional exploration expenditures are warranted on the Bethania Silver Project and specifically the Bethania Mine (Santa Elena concession). Future attention should be given to the prospectivity of the additional concessions the Company has acquired in the region (i.e., Chinita I, Tres Bandera 01/02), but current focus should be on the Santa Elena concession (Bethania Mine).

A program comprising surface investigations ($100,000) and underground/surface diamond drilling ($475,000) is proposed for the Bethania Mine/Santa Elena concession (Table 1‐3).

Note:

(1) Kuya has not concluded employment, consulting or management agreements providing payments to a NEO or to a director in case of change of control, severance, termination or constructive dismissal. Furthermore, Kuya does not offer any retirement plan or defined benefit or contribution plans in favour of its NEOs and directors.

NEOs who also serve as directors do not receive any compensation for acting as directors. Kuya has not at any time during its existence issued any stock options or share‐based awards.

B20

Oversight and Description of Director and NEOs Compensation

The Kuya Board has no compensation committee. Considering its actual small size, the Kuya Board assumes the responsibility to establish the objectives of Kuya’s executive compensation program which are to attract, motivate, engage and retain qualified, high performance individuals and to meet performance objectives designed to increase shareholder returns. The Kuya Board: (i) establishes the objectives that will govern Kuya’s compensation program for the NEOs and the directors; (ii) oversees and approves the compensation and benefits to the NEOs; (iii) oversees any grant of stock options; and (iv) promotes the clear and complete disclosure to shareholders of material information regarding executive compensation

Pension Plan Benefits

Kuya does not maintain any defined benefit, defined contribution plans or any other deferred compensation plans.

Compensation Process and Objectives

The Kuya Board relies on the knowledge and experience of its members to set appropriate levels of compensation for the NEOs. The Kuya Board reviews the NEOs compensation on an annual basis and, in doing such task, it evaluates the NEOs achievements during the preceding year. Kuya has not retained any third‐party advisors to conduct compensation reviews of its competitors’ pay levels and practices. Kuya is an exploratory stage mining company and is not generating, nor expecting to generate revenues from operations for a significant period of time. As a result, the use of traditional performance standards, such as corporate profitability, is not considered by the Kuya Board to be appropriate in the evaluation of corporate of NEOs performance. The compensation of the senior officers is based, in substantial part, on industry compensation practices, trends in the mining industry as well as achievement of Kuya’s business plans. An important element of the compensation is the grant of stock options, which does not require cash disbursement from Kuya.

Currently, despite not paying any fees to the NEO’s for the two most recent financial years, the compensation arrangements for Kuya’s NEOs are typically composed of consulting fees for services rendered. A competitive remuneration is aimed to attract and retain skilled persons necessary to achieve corporate objectives.

Kuya does not offer benefit programs, such as life insurance and health and dental benefits. Where NEOs receive other perquisites (such as car allowances or company vehicles), they reflect competitive practices, business needs and objectives.

Consulting Fees

Any cash amounts paid to the CEO on a consulting fee basis is reviewed annually by the Kuya Board to ensure it reflects a balance of market conditions, the level of responsibilities, the skill and competencies of the individual, retention considerations as well as the level of demonstrated performance. Any basic hourly rate payable for professional services payable to the CEO is set by the Kuya Board on the basis of its opinion as to a fair and responsible compensation package, taking into account the contribution of the President and CEO to Kuya’s long‐ term growth and the Kuya Board members’ knowledge of remuneration practices in Canada.

Stock Options

Kuya has not implemented a stock option plan.

Pension and Retirement Plans

Kuya does not have any pension plan that provides for payments or benefits at, following, or in connection with retirement of any officer.

B21

Termination and Change of Control Benefits

There are no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement that provides for payments to a NEO or to a director, at, following or in connection with any termination (whether voluntary, involuntary) or constructive dismissal, resignation, severance, change in the responsibilities or a change of control of the Corporation

Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers

As at the date hereof, no director, executive officer, employee, proposed nominee for election as a director, or associate of any such person is now, or has at any time since December 31, 2019, indebted to Kuya or any of its subsidiaries, or had the benefit of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by Kuya or any of its subsidiaries, other than routine indebtedness.

Corporate Governance Disclosure

National Instrument 58‐101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“ NI 58‐101 ”) requires issuers to disclose the corporate governance practices that they have adopted. Set forth below is a description of Kuya’s current corporate governance practices.

National Policy 58‐201 Corporate Governance Guidelines establishes corporate governance guidelines to be used by issuers in developing their own corporate governance practices. The Kuya Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.

Board of Directors

The Kuya Board is currently composed of one (1) director. Of the current directors, David Stein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kuya, is not considered “independent" within the meaning of NI 52‐110.

Other Directorships

The following table sets forth the directors of Kuya who currently hold directorships with other reporting issuers:

Name of Director Reporting Issuer
David Stein Eastmain Resources (ER‐TSXV), Panthera Resources (PAT‐AIM)

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Kuya Board does not have a formal orientation or education program for its members. The Kuya Board’s continuing education is typically derived from correspondence with Kuya’s legal counsel to remain up to date with developments in relevant corporate and securities’ law matters. Additionally, historically board members have been nominated who are familiar with Kuya and the nature of its business.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Kuya Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by Kuya’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Kuya Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of Kuya.

B22

Under corporate legislation, a director is required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Kuya and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. In addition, as some of the directors of Kuya also serve as directors and officers of other companies engaged in similar business activities, directors must comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or officer has a material interest.

Any interested director would be required to declare the nature and extent of his interest and would not be entitled to vote at meetings of directors which evoke such a conflict.

Nomination of Directors

The Kuya Board is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become new directors of Kuya and recommending to the Board any new director nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders of Kuya. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, experience in an area of strategic interest to Kuya, the ability to devote the time required, show support for Kuya’s mission and strategic objectives, and/or demonstrate a willingness to serve the interests of Kuya.

Compensation

The Kuya Board uses its discretion to set compensation for executive officers at levels warranted by external, internal and individual circumstances. The early stage of Kuya’s business development is also a factor is setting the compensation. As Kuya is in the early stages, compensation for executive officers relies solely on board discussion without any formal objectives, criteria and analysis.

Other Board Committees

The Kuya Board performs the functions of an audit committee, executive Committee, a nominating committee, and a corporate governance committee, however, the Kuya Board may appoint a number of directors, the majority of whom are independent, to act on issues related to the above on an as needed basis.

Assessments

Currently the Kuya Board takes responsibility for monitoring and assessing its effectiveness and the performance of individual directors, its committees, including reviewing the Kuya Board’s decision‐making processes and the quality of information provided by management, and among other things:

  • overseeing strategic planning;

  • monitoring the performance of Kuya’s assets;

  • evaluating the principal risks and opportunities associated with Kuya’s business and overseeing the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks;

  • approving specific acquisitions and divestitures;

  • evaluating senior management; and

  • overseeing Kuya’s internal control and management information systems.

B23

Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions

Other than as set forth under “ Interests of Certain Persons in the Arrangement ” in the Circular, there were no material interests, direct or indirect, of Kuya’s directors or executive officers, or any director or executive officer of a subsidiary of Kuya or any person who beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the outstanding Kuya Shares, or any associate or affiliate of such persons, in any transaction since the commencement of Kuya last completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected, or would materially affect, Kuya or any of its subsidiaries.

Determination of Price

Transaction

The proposed Transaction is expected to be completed by a three‐cornered amalgamation under the provisions of Business Corporations Act (Ontario), pursuant to which existing Kuya Shareholders (other than any dissenting shareholders) are expected to receive, in exchange for each Kuya Share held, 1.835 Miramont Shares.

Former holders of Kuya Shares are expected to own approximately 82.8% of the total number of issued and outstanding Miramont Shares in the combined company after giving effect to the Kuya Shares issued under the Transaction and the 7,477,620 Kuya Shares issuable under the Financings.

Risk Factors

An investment in the securities of Kuya is subject to certain risks. Readers should carefully consider the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” as the risk factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in this Information Circular. If any of the identified risks were to materialize, Kuya’s business, financial position, results and/or future operations may be materially affected.

Shareholders should also carefully consider all of the information disclosed in this Information Circular and the documents incorporated by reference. The risk factors that are identified in this Information Circular and the documents incorporated by reference are not exhaustive and other factors may arise in the future that are currently not foreseen by management of Kuya that may present additional risks in the future.

In evaluating Kuya and its business and whether to vote in favour of the Transaction, Miramont Shareholders should carefully consider, in addition to the other information contained in this Information Circular and this Schedule “B” – “ Information Concerning Kuya” , the risk factors including the risk factors described under the heading “ Risk Factors ”. Risk factors may not be a definitive list of all risk factors associated with the Arrangement.

Exploration, Development and Operating Risks

Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Kuya’s operations are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development and production of gold, precious metals and other minerals, including unusual and unexpected geologic formations, seismic activity, rock bursts, cave‐ins, flooding and other conditions involved in the drilling and removal of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to life or property, environmental damage and possible legal liability. The financing, exploration, development and mining of any of Kuya’s exploration properties is furthermore subject to a number of macroeconomic, legal and social factors, including the price of gold, silver and copper, laws and regulations, political conditions, currency fluctuations, the ability to hire and retain qualified people, the inability to obtain suitable adequate machinery, equipment or labour and obtaining necessary services in jurisdictions in which Kuya operates. Unfavourable changes to these and other factors have the potential to negatively affect Kuya’s business, plans, prospects, strategies, financial performance and condition and results.

B24

The exploration for and development of mineral deposits is a speculative venture involving significant risks which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate or even mitigate. While the discovery of a commercially viable ore body may result in an increase in value for shareholders, few mineral properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. At present, none of Kuya’s properties have a known body of bankable commercial ore and the proposed exploration programs are exploratory. There is no certainty that the expenditures made by Kuya towards the exploration and evaluation of mineral deposits on its properties will result in discoveries or production of commercial quantities of gold or other minerals.

Substantial expenditures may be required to locate, evaluate and establish mineral reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site, and substantial additional financing will be required. It is impossible to ensure that Kuya will be able to secure the necessary financing needed to pursue the exploration or development activities planned by Kuya or that its activities will result in an economically viable or profitable commercial mining operation. The decision as to whether a particular property contains a commercial mineral deposit and should or could be brought into production will depend on the results of exploration programs and/or geological and other studies, and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists. Several significant factors will be considered, including, but not limited to: (i) the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade, metallurgical characteristics, and proximity to infrastructure; (ii) mineral prices, which are highly cyclical; (iii) government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, permitting, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection; (iv) available working capital and ongoing costs of exploration and development; (v) availability, terms and cost of additional funding; and (vi) local community and landowner opposition to access mineral rights. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but one or any combination of these factors may result in Kuya not being able to pursue its business plans or strategy or its shareholders not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Early Stage Status and Nature of Exploration

The terms “Resource(s)” or “Reserve(s)” cannot be used to describe any of Kuya’s exploration properties due to the early stage of exploration at this time. Any reference to potential quantities and/or grade is conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient exploration to define any mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of any mineral resource. Any information, including quantities and/or grade, described in this Information Circular should not be interpreted as assurances of a potential resource or reserve, or of potential future mine life or of the viability or profitability of future operations.

Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining.

The economics of exploring and developing mineral properties is affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations in the grade of ore mined, fluctuations in metal markets, costs of mining and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. Major expenses may be required to establish reserves by drilling and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the current planned exploration and development programs of Kuya will result in economically viable or profitable commercial mining operations. The profitability of Kuya’s operations will be, in part, directly related to the costs and success of its exploration and development programs, which may be affected by a number of factors. Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineral reserves that are sufficient to support commercial mining operations and to construct, complete and install mining and processing facilities on those properties that are actually developed.

No assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of minerals will be realized or that any potential quantities and/or grade will ever qualify as a resource, or that any such mineral resource will ever qualify as a

B25

commercially viable (or mineable) deposit which can be legally and economically exploited. Where expenditures on a property have not led to the discovery of mineral reserves, incurred expenditures will generally not be recoverable.

Additional Capital

Kuya plans to focus on evaluating its properties and exploring for minerals and will use its working capital to carry out such activities. However, the exploration and development of Kuya’s exploration properties is expected to require substantial additional financing. The ability of Kuya to arrange such additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business and performance of Kuya. Failure to obtain additional financing could result in delaying or indefinite postponement of exploration, development or production on any or all of Kuya’s exploration properties or a loss of a property interest. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favourable to Kuya. If additional financing is raised by Kuya through the issuance of securities from treasury, control of Kuya may change and security holders may suffer potentially significant dilution.

Joint Ventures and Subsidiaries

Kuya may, in the future, operate some of its activities and properties through joint ventures, subsidiaries, earn‐ins or similar arrangements in order to fully exploit the exploration and production potential of its exploration assets. There can be no assurance that Kuya will be able to identify and successfully negotiate joint venture or similar arrangements with third parties on terms that are favourable to Kuya, or at all. Kuya may, in the future, be unable to meet its share of costs incurred under such arrangements and may have its property interests subject to such arrangements reduced as a result or even face termination of such arrangements.

Kuya is also subject to the typical risks associated with joint ventures and similar arrangements, including disagreement on how to develop, operate or finance the properties and activities and contractual and legal remedies of Kuya’s partners in the event of such disagreements. In addition, any limitation on the transfer of cash or other assets between Kuya and such entities, or among such entities, could restrict Kuya’s ability to fund its activities efficiently. Any such limitations or the perception that such limitations may exist now or in the future, could have an adverse impact on Kuya’s business, plans, prospects, value and stock price.

No History of Operations

Kuya is an early‐stage exploration and development company and has no history of exploration, development, mining or refining mineral products. As such, Kuya is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under‐capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues. There is no assurance that Kuya will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders’ investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.

No History of Earnings

Kuya has not yet commenced operations in the mineral resource sector and therefore has no history of earnings or of a return on investment in this sector, and there is no assurance that any of its property interests or other assets will be economically viable or will be advanced to generate earnings, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future. No operating revenues are anticipated until one of Kuya’s projects comes into production, which may or may not occur. Kuya will continue to experience losses unless and until it can successfully develop and begin profitable commercial production at one of its properties. There can be no assurance that Kuya will be able to do so.

No History of Profitability

Kuya is an early exploration and development stage company with no history of revenues or profitability in the mineral resource sector. There can be no assurance that the activities of Kuya will be economically viable or

B26

profitable in the future. Kuya will require additional financing to further explore, develop, acquire, and achieve commercial production on its property interests and, if financing is unavailable for any reason, Kuya may become unable to acquire and retain its property interests and carry out its business plan.

Industry and Economic Factors Affecting Kuya

Kuya is a junior resource company focused primarily on the evaluation, exploration and development of mineral properties and potential acquisition of mineral properties in the future. Kuya’s future performance is largely tied to the financial markets related to junior resource companies, which is often cyclical. Kuya will continuously monitor several economic factors including the uncertainty regarding the price of gold, silver and copper and the availability of equity financing for the purposes of mineral exploration and development. Kuya’s future performance is largely tied to its ability to raise additional financing needed to fund its ongoing exploration and operating activities and to pursue the exploration and the development of its mineral property interests and the overall financial markets. Financial markets in the mining sector are likely to continue to be volatile reflecting ongoing concerns about the global economy, and the general pessimistic outlook in the mining sector. Companies worldwide have been affected negatively by these trends. As a result, Kuya may have difficulties raising equity financing needed for the purposes of mineral exploration and development, particularly without excessively diluting the interests of its current shareholders. With continued market volatility expected, Kuya’s current strategy is to continue a modest exploration program on its properties using existing cash and funds generated through equity financings if and when available and to seek out other prospective business opportunities, including entering into option arrangements and/or joint ventures. Kuya believes that this focused strategy will enable it to pursue its business strategy and plans in the near term. These trends may limit Kuya’s ability to develop and/or further explore its properties, and/or acquire other property interests that could be acquired in the future. Management will monitor economic conditions and estimate their impact on Kuya’s plans, strategies and activities and incorporate these estimates in short‐term operating and longer‐term strategic decisions.

Reliance on a Limited Number of Properties

The only material property interests of Kuya are its interests in the Bethania Silver Property. As a result, unless Kuya acquires additional property interests, any adverse developments affecting any one of these properties would likely have an adverse effect upon Kuya and would adversely affect the potential mineral resource development, profitability, financial performance and condition and results of Kuya and its strategies and plans. While Kuya may seek to acquire additional mineral properties that are consistent with its business objectives, there can be no assurance that Kuya will be able to identify suitable additional mineral properties or, if it does identify suitable properties, that it will have sufficient financial resources to acquire such properties or that such properties will be available on terms acceptable to Kuya or at all.

Commodity Prices

The price of Kuya’s securities, its financial condition and results, and its access to the capital required to finance its exploration activities may in the future be adversely affected by declines in the price of precious and base metals and, in particular, the price of gold and silver. Base and precious metal prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond Kuya’s control such as the sale or purchase of base and precious metals by various dealers, central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, currency exchange fluctuation, global and regional supply and demand, production and consumption patterns, speculative activities, increased production due to improved mining and production methods, government regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals, environmental protection, and international political and economic trends, conditions and events. If these or other factors continue to adversely affect the price of base and precious metals, the market price of Kuya’s securities may decline. A severe decline in the price of a mineral being explored or produced or expected to be explored or produced by Kuya would have a material adverse effect on Kuya, and could result in the suspension of exploration or development of properties by Kuya.

B27

Insurance and Uninsured Risks

Kuya’s business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave‐ ins, changes in the regulatory environment, natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties, personal injury or death, environmental damage to Kuya’s exploration properties or the properties of others, delays in the ability to undertake exploration, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Kuya does not currently maintain insurance in respect of such risks. Although Kuya may in the future maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, such insurance even if obtained will not cover all the potential risks associated with a mining Issuer’s operations. Kuya may also be unable to obtain and maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. 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 and production is not generally available to Kuya or to other companies in the resource industry on acceptable terms. Kuya might also Kuya subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which it may not be insured against or which Kuya may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause Kuya to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its business, plans, prospects, financial performance and condition and results. The payment of such liabilities could reduce or eliminate Kuya’s available funds or could exceed the funds available to Kuya to pay such liabilities and result in bankruptcy.

Environmental Risks and Hazards

The mining and mineral processing industries are subject to extensive environmental regulation for the protection of the environment. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. These regulations may adversely affect Kuya or require it to expend significant funds. There is also a risk that environmental and other laws and regulations may become more onerous, making it costlier for Kuya to remain in compliance with such laws and regulations.

There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect Kuya’s operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties on which Kuya holds interests which are unknown to Kuya at present and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties or by current or previous surface rights owners.

Kuya cannot give any assurances that breaches of environmental laws (whether inadvertent or not) or environmental pollution will not materially and adversely affect its business, plans and financial condition. There is no assurance that any future changes to environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect Kuya.

Significant liabilities may exist on the lands where its material property is located in the form of historic mine construction and development infrastructure, tailings dam(s), waste dump site, a mill site, a camp site, and other mining related infrastructure, disturbance, and equipment located on the property. Kuya cannot guarantee that its estimation of the amount of these liabilities is accurate. The cost of addressing existing liabilities may be significantly higher than as currently estimated by Kuya.

Permitting

Kuya’s current and anticipated future activities will require approvals and permits from various federal and local governmental authorities, and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, exploration, development, mining, production, taxes, labour standards, health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There is no assurance that delays will not occur in connection with obtaining all such necessary approvals and permits for the existing activities or

B28

additional approvals or permits for any possible future changes to operations. Prior to any development on any of its properties, Kuya must receive permits from appropriate governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that Kuya will obtain or continue to hold all permits necessary to develop or continue its activities at any particular property. Delays in obtaining or a failure to obtain any licenses or permits or extensions thereto, challenges to the issuance of such licences or permits, whether successful or unsuccessful, changes to the terms of such licences or permits or a failure to comply with the terms of any such licences or permits that Kuya has obtained, could have a material adverse effect on Kuya by delaying or preventing or making more expensive exploration and/or development.

Title to Mining Concessions

The acquisition of the right to explore and/or exploit mineral properties is a detailed and time‐consuming process. Although Kuya has either obtained title opinions or reviewed title for its properties, there is no guarantee that title to such property interests will not be challenged or impugned. Kuya’s mineral properties may be subject to prior registered or unregistered liens, agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects and land claims. A successful challenge to the validity of, or the precise area and location of, these claims could result in Kuya being unable to operate on its properties as permitted or being unable to enforce its rights with respect to its properties.

Further, in order to maintain the mining concessions, Kuya must make certain payments under its option agreements or risk forfeiture of the mining concessions and any such expenditure made to such time. In light of Kuya’s cash resources and, in the absence of Kuya obtaining additional sources of funding, it is possible that Kuya may not be able to continue to commit the required minimum exploration expenditures required for its properties beyond the near‐term.

Infrastructure

Development and exploration activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important determinants, which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, and government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect Kuya’s business, plans, prospects, financial condition and results. Significant liabilities exist on the Project lands in the form of historic mine construction and development infrastructure, tailings dam(s), waste dump site, a mill site, a camp site, and other mining related infrastructure, disturbance, and equipment located on the property. Kuya cannot guarantee that its estimation of the amount of these liabilities is accurate. The cost of addressing existing liabilities may be significantly higher than as currently estimated by Kuya.

Competition

The resource and mining exploration industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases. As a result of this competition, some of which is with significantly larger, established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than Kuya, Kuya may be unable to continue to explore and develop its existing properties, or to acquire additional mineral properties in the future. Kuya may also encounter increasing competition from other resource and mining companies, many of which are significantly larger with significantly greater resources, in its efforts to hire experienced mining professionals.

Government Regulation

The mineral exploration activities (as well as the potential for eventual mining, processing and development activities) of Kuya will be subject to extensive laws and regulations governing prospecting, exploration, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, waste disposal, water use, land claims of local people, protection of historic and archaeological sites, mine development, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters.

B29

Government approvals, approval of the local population and permits are currently, and may in the future be required in connection with Kuya’s proposed activities. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, Kuya may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing its exploration or development activities or from proceeding with planned exploration or development of mineral properties. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing activities to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in the exploration or development of mineral properties or mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of their activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws.

Kuya’s mineral exploration and development activities may be adversely affected in varying degrees by changing government regulations relating to the mining industry or shifts in political conditions that increase royalties payable or the costs related to Kuya’s activities or maintaining its properties. Operations may also be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on exploration, development, production, price controls, government‐imposed royalties, claim fees, export controls, income taxes, and expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted. Although Kuya’s exploration and development activities are expected to be 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 which could limit or curtail exploration or development.

Furthermore, any shift in political attitudes, or amendments to current laws and regulations governing activities of exploration, development, mining or milling or more stringent implementation thereof are beyond the control of Kuya and could have a substantial adverse impact on Kuya.

Risks of Foreign Operations

Kuya’s material property will be located in Peru. As such, Kuya will be subject to political, economic and other uncertainties, including, without limitation, expropriation of property without fair compensation, changes in mining policies or the personnel administering them, nationalization, currency fluctuations and devaluations, exchange controls and royalty and tax increases and other risks arising out of foreign governmental sovereignty over the areas in which Kuya’s operations will be conducted, as well as risks of loss due to civil strife, acts of war and insurrections.

Kuya’s operations may also be adversely affected by the laws and policies of Peru affecting foreign trade, taxation and investment. In the event of a dispute arising in connection with Kuya’s operations in Peru, Kuya may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of Peru courts and may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of the courts of Canada or enforcing Canadian judgments in other jurisdictions. Kuya may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a governmental instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity. Accordingly, Kuya’s planned business activities in Peru could be substantially affected by factors beyond Kuya’s control, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Kuya.

‐ Influence of Third Party Stakeholders

Some of the lands in which Kuya holds an interest, or the exploration equipment and roads or other means of access which Kuya intends to utilize in carrying out its work programs or general business activities, may be subject to interests or claims by third party individuals, groups or companies. In the event that such third parties assert any claims or do not consent to Kuya carrying on activities on lands subject to their interests or claims, Kuya’s work programs may be delayed or prevented, even if such claims are not meritorious. Such claims or delays may result in significant financial loss and loss of opportunity for Kuya.

Kuya may need to enter into negotiations with landowners and other groups in local communities in Peru in order to conduct further exploration and development work on its properties. There is no assurance that future discussions

B30

and negotiations will result in agreements with landowners and other local community groups in Peru or if such agreements will be on terms acceptable to Kuya so that Kuya may continue to conduct exploration and development activities on these properties.

Acquisitions and Integration

From time to time, Kuya may examine opportunities to acquire additional exploration and/or mining assets and businesses. Any acquisition that Kuya may choose to complete may be of a significant size relative to the size of Kuya, may change the nature or scale of Kuya’s business and activities, and may expose Kuya to new geographic, political, operating, financial and geological risks. Kuya’s success in its acquisition activities, if any, depends upon its ability to obtain additional sources of financing, identify suitable acquisition candidates, negotiate acceptable terms for any such acquisition, and integrate any acquired operations successfully with those of Kuya. Any acquisitions would be accompanied by risks. In the event that Kuya chooses to raise debt capital to finance any such acquisitions, Kuya’s leverage will be increased. If Kuya chooses to use equity as consideration for such acquisitions, existing shareholders may suffer significant dilution. There can be no assurance that Kuya would be successful in obtaining additional sources of financing or in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with such acquisitions.

Management of Growth

Kuya may be subject to growth‐related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of Kuya to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operations and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of Kuya to deal with this growth could have a material adverse impact on its business, plans, operations and prospects.

Dilution

Financing the development of a mineral property through to production, should feasibility studies show it is recommended, would be expensive and Kuya would require additional monies to fund development and exploration programs and potential acquisitions. Kuya cannot predict the size of future issuances of Kuya Common Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Kuya Common Shares. Likewise, Kuya cannot predict the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of Kuya’s securities will have on the market and market price of the Common Shares. If Kuya raises additional funds by issuing additional equity securities, such financing may substantially dilute the interests of existing shareholders. Sales of substantial numbers of Kuya securities, or the availability of such Kuya securities for sale, could adversely affect the market, liquidity and any prevailing market prices for Kuya’s securities.

Dividend Policy

No dividends on Kuya Common Shares have been paid by Kuya to date. Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board after taking into account many factors, including Kuya’s operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs. At this time, Kuya has no source of cash flow and anticipates using all available cash resources towards its stated business objectives and retaining all earnings, if any, to finance its business activities.

Key Personnel

Kuya’s development will be dependent on the efforts of key management and potentially other key personnel. Locating mineral deposits depends on a number of factors, not the least of which is the technical skill of the exploration personnel involved. The loss of any of these people, particularly to competitors, could have a material adverse effect on Kuya’s business. Further, with respect to the future development of Kuya’s exploration properties, it may become necessary to attract both international and local personnel for such development. The marketplace for key skilled personnel is highly competitive, which means the cost of hiring, training and retaining such personnel

B31

may increase. Factors outside Kuya’s control, including competition for human capital and the high level of technical expertise and experience required to executive this development, will affect Kuya’s ability to identify and retain the specific personnel required.

Due to the relatively small size of Kuya, the loss of key personnel or Kuya’s inability to attract and retain additional highly skilled employees or consultants may adversely affect its business, activities and future plans. Kuya does anticipate carrying any “key person” life insurance in respect of any of its directors, officers or other employees.

Risk of Litigation

Kuya may become involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation or other legal proceedings. The results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. If Kuya is unable to resolve these disputes favourably, it may have a material adverse impact on the ability of Kuya to carry out its business plan.

Internal Controls

Internal controls over financial reporting are procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly authorized, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, and transactions are properly recorded and reported. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and financial statement preparation.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain of the directors and officers of Kuya also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies involved in natural resource exploration and development and consequently there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict. Any decision made by any of such directors and officers involving Kuya will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Kuya and its shareholders. In addition, each of the directors is required to declare and refrain from voting on any matter in which such directors may have a conflict of interest in accordance with the procedures set forth in the BCBCA and other applicable laws.

Markets for Securities

There can be no assurance that an active trading market in the common shares of the Common Shares will be established and sustained. The market price for the Common Shares could be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors such as commodity prices, government regulation, interest rates, share price movements of Kuya's peer companies and competitors, as well as overall market movements, may have a significant impact on the market price of the securities of Issuer. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, particularly in the mining sector.

COVID‐19

Kuya’s activities may be affected by potential medical pandemic issues, such as the novel coronavirus (COVID‐19), as a result of the potential related impact to employees, disruption to operations, supply chain delays, travel and trade restrictions and impact on economic activity in affected countries or regions. Such pandemics or diseases represent a serious threat to maintaining a skilled workforce in the technology industry and could be a major health‐ care challenge for Kuya. There can be no assurance that Kuya’s personnel will not be impacted by these pandemic diseases and ultimately see its workforce productivity reduced or incur increased medical costs/insurance premiums as a result of these health risks. As well, there can be no assurance that Kuya will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about by pandemics on global financial markets which may reduce resources, share prices and financial liquidity that may severely limit the financing capital available in the industry that Kuya operates in and the mining industry generally.

Escrowed Securities

In accordance with National Policy 46‐201 – Escrow for Initial Public Offerings (“ NP 46‐201 ”), all securities of an issuer owned or controlled by its principals are required to be placed in escrow at the time of the issuer’s initial distribution, unless the shares held by the principal or issuable to the principal upon conversion of convertible securities held by the principal collectively represent less than 1% of the voting rights attaching to the total issued and outstanding securities of the issuer after giving effect to the initial public offering. Upon completion of the Financings and the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer anticipates being an “emerging issuer” as defined in NP 46‐201.

Certain Resulting Issuer Shares will be subject to the terms of an escrow agreement to be entered into in connection with the Transaction among Miramont, Computershare Investor Services Inc., as escrow agent, and the holders of the Escrow Shares, being the security holders set out in the table under the heading “Escrow Shares” (the “ Escrow Agreement ”).

Notes:

(1) These securities shall be held in escrow by Computershare Investor Services Inc. as depository pursuant to the Escrow Agreement between Computershare Investor Services Inc., the Resulting Issuer and each of the escrowed securityholders (the “ Escrow Agreement ”). The securities subject to the Escrow Agreement shall be released in accordance with the schedule set out under the heading “ Terms of the Escrow for the Escrow Shares ”.

(2) Calculated based upon an anticipated 32,340,740 Resulting Issuer Shares issued and outstanding on a non‐diluted basis following completion of the Financings and Transaction.

Terms of the Escrow for the Escrow Shares

As the Resulting Issuer anticipates being an “emerging issuer” as defined in NP 46‐201, the following automatic timed releases will apply to the securities held by its principals who are subject to escrow:

Date Escrowed Shares to be Released
On the Listing Date 1/10 of the Escrow Shares
6 months after the Listing Date 1/6 of the remaining Escrow Shares
12 months after the Listing Date 1/5 of the remaining Escrow Shares
18 months after the Listing Date 1/4 of the remaining Escrow Shares
24 months after the Listing Date 1/3 of the remaining Escrow Shares
30 months after the Listing Date 1/2 of the remaining Escrow Shares
36 months after the Listing Date The remaining Escrow Shares

Assuming there are no changes to the Escrow Shares initially deposited and no additional Escrow Shares are deposited, this will result in a 10% release on the listing date (as defined by NP 46‐201), with the remaining Escrow Shares being released in 15% tranches every 6 months thereafter.

Under NP 46‐201, a “principal” is: (a) a person or company who has acted as a promoter of the Resulting Issuer within two years of the date of this Information Circular; (b) a director or senior officer of the Resulting Issuer or any of its

C8

material operating subsidiaries at the time of this Information Circular; (c) a person or company that holds securities carrying more than 20% of the voting rights attached to the Resulting Issuer’s outstanding securities immediately before and immediately after the Resulting Issuer’s initial public offering; and (d) a person or company that: (i) holds securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the Resulting Issuer’s outstanding securities immediately before and immediately after the Resulting Issuer’s initial public offering; and (ii) has elected or appointed, or has the right to elect or appoint, one or more directors or senior officers of the Resulting Issuer or any of its material operating subsidiaries. A company, trust, partnership or other entity more than 50% held by one or more principals will be treated as a principal and any securities of the company held by such an entity will be subject to the escrow requirements. A principal’s spouse and their relatives that live at the same address as the principal will be deemed principals and any securities of the Resulting Issuer held by such a person will be subject to the escrow requirements.

Under the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Escrow Shares cannot be transferred by the holder unless permitted under the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding this restriction on transfer, a holder of Escrow Shares may (a) pledge, mortgage or charge the Escrow Shares to a financial institution as collateral for a loan provided that no Escrow Securities will be delivered by the escrow agent to the financial institution; (b) exercise any voting rights attached to the Escrow Securities; (c) receive dividends or other distributions on the Escrow Securities; and (d) exercise any rights to exchange or convert the Escrow Securities in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

The Escrow Shares may be transferred within escrow to: (a) subject to approval of the Resulting Issuer’s Board, an individual who is an existing or newly appointed director or senior officer of the Resulting Issuer or of a material operating subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer; (b) a person or company that before the proposed transfer holds more than 20% of the voting rights attached to the Resulting Issuer’s outstanding securities; (c) a person or company that (i) after the proposed transfer will hold more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the Resulting Issuer’s outstanding securities and (ii) has the right to elect or appoint one or more directors or senior officers of the Resulting Issuer or any of its material operating subsidiaries; (d) upon the bankruptcy of a holder of Escrow Shares, the trustee in bankruptcy or another person or company legally entitled to such securities; (e) a financial institution on the realization of Escrow Shares pledged, mortgaged or charged by the holder to the financial institution as collateral for a loan; and (f) a registered retirement savings plan (“ RRSP ”), registered retirement income fund (“ RRIF ”) or other similar registered plan or fund with a trustee, where the annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF, or the beneficiaries of another plan or fund are limited to the holder, the holder’s spouse, children or parents, or if the holder is the trustee of such registered plan or fund, to the annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF, or a beneficiary of the other registered plan or fund or, as applicable, his or her spouse, children or parents. Upon the death of a holder of the Escrow Shares, all of the Escrow Shares of the deceased holder will be released from escrow.

In addition, tenders of Escrow Shares pursuant to a business combination, which includes a take‐over bid, issuer bid, statutory arrangement, amalgamation, merger or other reorganization similar to an amalgamation or merger, are permitted. Escrow Shares subject to a business combination will continue to be escrowed if the successor entity is not an “exempt issuer”, the holder is a principal of the successor entity; and the holder holds more than 1% of the voting rights of the successor entities’ outstanding securities.

Under the terms of the Escrow Agreement, 10% of each escrowed shareholder’s Escrow Shares (a total of approximately 886,916 Resulting Issuer Shares calculated based on 26,763,417 Kuya Shares (at the Exchange Ratio) and 5,577,323 (post‐Consolidation) Miramont Shares immediately prior to completion of the Transaction) will be released from escrow on the Listing Date. The remaining 7,982,250 Resulting Issuer Shares will be held in escrow immediately following the Listing Date and released pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Resale Restrictions

The Resulting Issuer Shares to be issued to Kuya Shareholders in connection with the Transaction will be distributed under exemptions from the requirements to provide a prospectus under applicable Canadian securities laws. As Miramont has been a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction of Canada for more than four months, the Resulting Issuer

C9

Shares may be resold in each of the provinces and territories of Canada without significant restriction, apart from the escrow restrictions (see “ Resulting Issuer – Escrowed Securities ”), provided the holder is not a ‘control person’ as defined in the applicable securities legislation, no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or create a demand for those securities and no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid in respect of that sale.

U.S. Shareholders should consult their own advisors regarding resale restrictions applicable to holders of Resulting Issuer Shares who are subject to U.S. securities laws.

Principal Holders of Voting Securities Post‐Transaction

To the knowledge of the directors and the officers of Miramont and Kuya, at the completion of the Financings and Transaction, no person will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over shares carrying more than 10% of voting rights attached to each class of the then outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares, except as follows:

Executive Compensation

For the purposes of this section Named Executive Officers (“ NEO ”) are the proposed Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Resulting Issuer following the Transaction. Based on the above criteria, the only NEOs for the Resulting Issuer are expected to be David Stein (President and Chief Executive Officer) and Lesia Burianyk (Chief Financial Officer) for the 12 and 6 month periods, respectively, after giving effect to the Transaction.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Resulting Issuer anticipates creating a Compensation Committee that may be created and determined following completion of the Transaction and as determined necessary by the Resulting Issuer. In the meantime, compensation to be paid to the officers and directors of the Resulting Issuer will be determined by the Resulting Issuer Board. It is expected that compensation that will be paid by the Resulting Issuer to the executive officers in the twelve month period after the closing of the Transaction will be based on, and consistent with, recommendations of the Resulting Issuer Board. In addition, the Resulting Issuer Board expects to recommend the compensation, if any, to be paid to directors for services rendered in that capacity. Directors will be entitled to participate in the stock option plan of the Resulting Issuer.

When determining compensation policies and individual compensation levels for the Resulting Issuer’s executive officers a variety of factors will be considered, including: the overall financial and operating performance of the Resulting Issuer, each executive officer’s individual performance and contribution towards meeting corporate objectives, each executive officer’s level of responsibility and length of service and industry comparables.

The Resulting Issuer’s compensation philosophy for its executive officers is expected to follow three underlying principles: to provide compensation packages that encourage and motivate performance; to be competitive with other companies in the industry in which it operates, so as to attract and retain talented executives; and to align the

C12

interests of its executive officers with the long‐term interests of the Resulting Issuer and its shareholders through stock related programs.

Stock option grants will be used to align executive interests with those of shareholders and will be based on the executive’s performance, level of responsibility, as well as the number and exercise price of options previously issued to the executive his overall aggregate total compensation package. It is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will grant stock options to its directors and officers following the closing of the Transaction at the discretion of the Resulting Issuer Board.

Compensation Excluding Compensation Securities

Compensation of Directors

The Resulting Issuer is expected to pay compensation by way of stock options and director’s fees to be determined and reviewed annually.

Indebtedness of Directors and Officers

None of the persons who are proposed to be directors, employees or executive officers of the Resulting Issuer following the completion of the Transaction, and none of the associates of such persons is or has been indebted to either the Miramont Group or Kuya at any time during the most recently completed financial year of each of Miramont and Kuya, respectively, or will be indebted to the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Transaction. Furthermore, none of such persons were indebted to a third party during such period where their indebtedness was the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Miramont Group or Kuya.

Risk Factors

The current business of Kuya will be the business of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Transaction. Accordingly, risk factors relating to Kuya’s current business will be risk factors relating to the Resulting Issuer’s business. Due to the nature of the Resulting Issuer’s business, the legal and economic climate in which it operates and the present stage of Kuya’s development, the Resulting Issuer is subject to significant risks. The Resulting Issuer’s future development and operating results may be very different from those expected as at the date of this Information Circular. Readers should carefully consider all such risks. Risk factors relating to the Resulting Issuer include, but are not limited to, the following:

Exploration, Development and Production Risks

The exploration for and development of minerals involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. Few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Mineral exploration is speculative in nature and there can be no assurance that any minerals discovered will result in an increase in the Resulting Issuer’s resource base.

The Resulting Issuer’s operations will be subject to all of the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development and production of minerals. These include unusual and unexpected geological formations, rock falls, seismic activity, flooding and other conditions involved in the extraction of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to life or property, environmental damage and possible legal liability. Although precautions to minimize risk will be taken, operations are subject to

C15

hazards that may result in environmental pollution, and consequent liability that could have a material adverse impact on the business, operations and financial performance of the Resulting Issuer.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. The economics of developing gold and other mineral properties is affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations in the grade of ore mined, fluctuations in metal markets, costs of processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The remoteness and restrictions on access of properties in which the Resulting Issuer has an interest will have an adverse effect on profitability as a result of higher infrastructure costs. There are also physical risks to the exploration personnel working in the terrain in which the Resulting Issuer’s properties will be located, often in poor climate conditions.

The long‐term commercial success of the Resulting Issuer depends on its ability to explore, develop and commercially produce minerals from its properties and to locate and acquire additional properties worthy of exploration and development for minerals. No assurance can be given that the Resulting Issuer will be able to locate satisfactory properties for acquisition or participation. Moreover, if such acquisitions or participations are identified, the Resulting Issuer may determine that current markets, terms of acquisition and participation or pricing conditions make such acquisitions or participation uneconomic.

Substantial Capital Requirements

The proposed management of the Resulting Issuer anticipates that it may make substantial capital expenditures for the acquisition, exploration, development and production of its properties, in the future. As the Resulting Issuer will be at the exploration stage with no revenue being generated from the exploration activities on its mineral properties, the Resulting Issuer may have limited ability to raise the capital necessary to undertake or complete future exploration work, including drilling programs. Future activities may require the Resulting Issuer to alter its capitalization significantly. Any restriction on the Resulting Issuer's access to sufficient capital for its operations could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer’s financial condition, results of operations or prospects. In particular, failure to obtain the proceeds of the Financings on a timely basis could cause the Resulting Issuer to forfeit its interest in certain properties, miss certain acquisition opportunities and reduce or terminate its operations.

Competition

The mining industry is highly competitive. Many of the Resulting Issuer’s competitors for the acquisition, exploration, production and development of mineral properties, and for capital to finance such activities, will include companies that have greater financial and personnel resources available to them than the Resulting Issuer.

Volatility of Mineral Prices

The market price of any mineral is volatile and is affected by numerous factors that are beyond the Resulting Issuer’s control. These include international supply and demand, the level of consumer product demand, international economic trends, currency exchange rate fluctuations, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, global or regional political events and international events as well as a range of other market forces. Sustained downward movements in mineral market prices could render less economic, or uneconomic, some or all of the mineral extraction and/or exploration activities to be undertaken by the Resulting Issuer.

C16

Cyclical Nature of Mining

The mining business is subject to mineral price cycles. The marketability of minerals and mineral concentrates is also affected by worldwide economic cycles. At the present time, the more measured demand for minerals in some emerging economies (notably China and India) has led to moderation in prices for industrial minerals and the lower expectation of future inflation in advanced economies has moderated the price of precious metals. It is difficult to assess how long such trends may continue.

Environmental Risks

All phases of the mining business present environmental risks and hazards and are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to a variety of international conventions and local laws and regulations. Environmental legislation provides for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with mining operations. The legislation also requires that wells and facility sites be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner expected to result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability and potentially increased capital expenditures and operating costs. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, 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. Parties engaged in mining operations 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 laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Resulting Issuer and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at any future producing properties or require abandonment or delays in the development of new mining properties.

Reliance on Key Personnel

The success of the Resulting Issuer will be largely dependent upon the performance of its management and key employees and contractors. In assessing the risk of an investment in the shares of the Resulting Issuer, potential investors should realize that they are relying on the experience, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of the proposed management of the Resulting Issuer. The Resulting Issuer does not maintain life insurance policies in respect of its key personnel. The Resulting Issuer could be adversely affected in the event such individuals do not remain with the Resulting Issuer.

Permits and Licenses

The activities of the Resulting Issuer are subject to government approvals, various laws governing prospecting, development, land resumptions, production taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters, including issues affecting local populations. Although the Resulting Issuer 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 which could limit or curtail exploration, production or development. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of exploration and mining, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the business, operations and financial performance of the Resulting Issuer.

C17

Further, the permits issued in respect of its projects may be subject to conditions which, if not satisfied, may lead to the revocation of such licenses. In the event of revocation, the value of the Resulting Issuer’s investments in such projects may decline.

Risk of Infectious Disease Outbreaks

Emerging infectious diseases or the threat of outbreaks of viruses or other contagions or epidemic diseases, including the COVID‐19 outbreak, could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer by causing operational and supply chain delays and disruptions (including as a result of government regulation and prevention measures), labour shortages and shutdowns, social unrest, breach of material contracts, government or regulatory actions or inactions, changes in tax laws, payment deferrals, increased insurance premiums, declines in the price of precious metals, delays in permitting or approvals, governmental disruptions, capital markets volatility, or other unknown but potentially significant impacts. In addition, governments may impose strict emergency measures in response to the threat or existence of an infectious disease. The full extent and impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic is unknown and, to‐date, has included extreme volatility in financial markets, a slowdown in economic activity, extreme volatility in commodity prices (including precious metals) and has raised the prospect of a global recession. The international response to COVID‐19 has led to significant restrictions on travel, temporary business closures, quarantines, global stock market volatility and a general reduction in global consumer activity. At this time, the Resulting Issuer cannot accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on mining operations or financial results, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of the travel restrictions and business closures that have been or may be imposed by the governments of impacted countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population, such as COVID‐19, could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could result in a material adverse effect on commodity prices, demand for metals, investor confidence, and general financial market liquidity, all of which may adversely affect the Resulting Issuer’s business and the market price of the Resulting Issuer’s common shares. Accordingly, any outbreak or threat of an outbreak of an epidemic disease or similar public health emergency, including COVID‐19, could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer’s business, financial condition and results of operations. As at the date hereof, the duration of any business disruptions and related financial impact of the COVID‐19 outbreak cannot be reasonably estimated. It is unknown whether and how the Resulting Issuer may be affected if a pandemic, such as the COVID‐19 outbreak, persists for an extended period of time.

Government Policy

The availability and rights to explore and mine, as well as industry profitability generally, can be affected by changes in government policy that are beyond the control of the Resulting Issuer.

Market Price of Resulting Issuer Shares

The Kuya Shares do not currently trade on any exchange or market, and the Miramont Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the CSE. Securities of micro‐cap and small‐cap companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. If the Transaction is completed, the price of the Resulting Issuer Shares is also likely to be significantly affected by changes in the financial condition or results of operations of the Resulting Issuer. Other factors unrelated to the Resulting Issuer’s performance that may have an effect on the price of the Resulting Issuer Shares include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning the Resulting Issuer’s business may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow the Resulting Issuer’s securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Resulting Issuer’s securities may effect an investor’s ability to trade significant numbers of Resulting Issuer Shares; the size of the Resulting Issuer’s public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the Resulting Issuer’s securities; and a substantial decline in the price of the Resulting Issuer Shares that persists for a significant period of time could cause the Resulting Issuer’s securities, if listed on an exchange, to be delisted from such exchange, further reducing market liquidity.

C18

As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the Resulting Issuer Shares at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the Resulting Issuer’s long‐term value. Securities class‐action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. The Resulting Issuer may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and damages and divert management’s attention and resources.

Unforeseen Expenses

While the Resulting Issuer is not aware of any expenses that may need to be incurred that have not been taken into account, if such expenses were subsequently incurred, the expenditure proposals of the Resulting Issuer may be adversely affected.

Investing in equity securities is speculative

An investment in the Resulting Issuer Shares will carry a high degree of risk and should be considered as a speculative investment. The Resulting Issuer will have no history of earnings, limited cash reserves and a limited operating history.

Dividend Policy

No dividends on any of the Kuya Shares or Miramont Shares have been paid by either Kuya or Miramont to date. The Miramont Group and Kuya currently plan that, assuming completion of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will retain all future earnings and other cash resources, if any, for the future operation and development of its business. Payment of any future dividends by the Resulting Issuer, if any, will be at the discretion of the Resulting Issuer Board after taking into account many factors, including the Resulting Issuer’s operating results, financial condition, and current and anticipated cash needs.

Costs of being a publicly traded company

As the Resulting Issuer will have publicly‐traded securities, significant legal, accounting and filing fees will be incurred. Securities legislation and the rules and policies of the CSE require publicly listed companies to, among other things, adopt corporate governance policies and related practices and to continuously prepare and disclose material information, all of which will significantly contribute to legal, financial and securities regulatory compliance costs.

Dilution to Miramont Shares and Kuya Shares

It is anticipated that immediately prior to the Transaction, Miramont will have 55,773,234 Miramont Shares issued and outstanding and Kuya will have 7,107,349 Kuya Shares issued and outstanding. In the event that the Transaction is completed, (i) the Consolidation will be effected, such that one (1) post‐Consolidation Miramont Share shall be issued for every ten (10) outstanding Miramont Shares currently issued and outstanding, resulting in approximately 5,577,323 post‐Consolidation Miramont Shares being outstanding; (ii) an aggregate of 7,477,620 Kuya Shares shall be issued to subscribers in the Financings upon conversion of the Kuya Subscription Receipts issuable thereunder; and (iii) the Amalgamation shall then be effected, upon which an aggregate of 32,340,740 Resulting Issuer Shares shall be issued to former shareholders of Miramont and Kuya in accordance with the Amalgamation Agreement.

The Resulting Issuer may issue additional equity securities in future financings, resulting in dilution to investors.

The increase in the number of Resulting Issuer Shares issued and outstanding, and the sales of such shares, may have a depressive effect on the price of the Resulting Issuer Shares. In addition, as a result of the issuance of such additional Resulting Issuer Shares, the voting power of the existing Miramont Shareholders and Kuya Shareholders will be substantially diluted.

C19

Future Sales of Resulting Issuer Shares by Existing Shareholders

Sales of a large number of Resulting Issuer Shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the Resulting Issuer Shares and could impair the Resulting Issuer’s ability to raise capital through future sales of Resulting Issuer Shares.

Promoters

The Resulting Issuer does not expect to have any promoters other than its directors and officers, nor has the Resulting Issuer or Kuya had a promoter other than such persons within the two years immediately preceding the date of this Information Circular. No one should be considered a promoter outside of Resulting Issuer Board and management.

Legal Proceedings

Neither Kuya nor Miramont is a party to any legal proceedings currently material to such entity, or of which any of such entity’s property is the subject matter, and no such proceedings are known by either Kuya or Miramont to be contemplated.

Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions

See “ Schedule “B” – Information Concerning Kuya – Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions ”.

Auditors

Subject to the approval of the Resulting Issuer Auditor Resolution, upon completion of the Transaction, the auditors of the Resulting Issuer will be Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants.

Registrar and Transfer Agent

The transfer agent and registrar for the Resulting Issuer will be Computershare Investor Services Inc. at its principal offices in Toronto, Ontario following the Transaction.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Kuya Silver Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Kuya Silver Corp., (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended 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 Consolidated 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 consolidated 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 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the entity incurred a net loss of $1,558,355 during the year ended December 31, 2019 and has a working capital deficit of $39,246 at December 31, 2019. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, 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.

Comparative Information

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements which describes that Kuya Silver Corp. adopted International Financial Reporting Standards on January 1, 2019 with a transition date of January 1, 2018. These standards were applied retrospectively by management to the comparative information in these financial statements, including the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2018 and January 1, 2018, and the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 and related disclosures. We were not engaged to report on the restated comparative information, and as such, it is unaudited.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management's Discussion and Analysis.

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

==> picture [507 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

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

We obtained the 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 Consolidated Financial Statements

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

In preparing the consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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.

  • 2 -

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated 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.

Kuya Silver Corp. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 Stated in United States Dollars

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Kuya Silver Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada on August 9, 2017.

The principal address and records office of the Company is located at 217 Queen Street W., Suite 401, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 0R2.

The Company is primarily engaged in the redevelopment and restart of the Bethania Silver Mine in Peru via an option agreement with Peruvian mine owners. To date, the Company has not earned revenues and is considered to be in the exploration stage. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties held by the optionor, these procedures do not guarantee the title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, aboriginal claims, and non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated revenue from operations. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a loss of $1,558,355 (2018 – $1,911,439), and as of that date, the Company had a working capital deficit of $39,246 (2018 – $417,112). The Company will need to raise funds to continue operations and, although it has been successful in doing so in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future.

In these circumstances, there exist material uncertainties resulting in significant doubt as to the ability of Kuya to continue as a going concern and continue to meet its obligations as they come due. These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments or disclosures that may result should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be required to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the expenses, the reported comprehensive loss 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. These adjustments could be material.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 98% controlled subsidiary, Aerecura Materiales S.A.C. (“Aerecura Materiales”). Aerecura Materiales is an inactive subsidiary and as such there is no non controlling interest.

a. Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Company and its subsidiary have not previously issued IFRS financial statements and, accordingly, these consolidated statements and are subject to IFRS 1 – First Time Adoption of IFRS. The transition date to IFRS was January 1, 2018. The Company did not apply any first-time exemptions.

  • 8 -

Kuya Silver Corp. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 Stated in United States Dollars

On August 7, 2020, the sole director approved these statements.

b. Basis of measurement

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that may be measured at fair value.

  • c. Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar. The functional currency of Aerecura Materiales is the United States Dollar.

d. Segmented reporting

The Company is organized into business units based on its mineral properties and has one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition and exploration and evaluation of mineral properties in Peru. With virtually all of the Company's assets being devoted to the acquisition and exploration and evaluation of its mineral properties, the assets of the Company form a single cash generating unit (“CGU”).

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements unless otherwise indicated.

a. Foreign currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency”).

The Company translates monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at average rates when they occur. Gains and losses on translation are recorded in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

b. Cash

Cash includes cash at banks. The majority of the Company’s cash is held in Canada.

  • c. Exploration and evaluation expenditures

  • 9 -

Kuya Silver Corp. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 Stated in United States Dollars

Acquisition costs and exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred prior to the establishment of technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources and prior to a decision to proceed with mine development are expensed as incurred. Once a project has been established as commercially viable and technically feasible and a decision has been made to proceed with mine development, related development expenditures are capitalized. This includes costs incurred in preparing the site for mining operations. Capitalization ceases when the mine is capable of commercial production, with the exception of development costs that give rise to incremental future benefit.

d. Income taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their corresponding tax value, using the substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when these temporary differences are reversed. Deferred income tax assets are recorded to recognize tax benefits only to the extent that, based on available evidence, it is probable that they will be realized. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences except when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

e. Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees (including directors and senior executives) and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value of the share-based payment is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument granted, which in turn is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of the grant, with management’s assumptions for the risk-free rate, dividend yield, the expected volatility of the price of the Company's shares based on comparable companies, and the expected life of the options.

The fair value of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date in which the grantee becomes fully entitled to the award, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity.

If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best estimate of the share-based payments expected to vest. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of share-based payments that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share-based payments expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognized in prior periods if share-based payments ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting.

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in

  • 10 -

Kuya Silver Corp. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 Stated in United States Dollars

which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the Company obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

In certain cases, the Company will issue shares to settle debt. The value of the shares based to settle the debts is measured at the fair value of the shares on the date of issue.

f. Decommissioning liabilities

The Company’s mining exploration activities are subject to various governmental laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. These environmental regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations or constructive obligations.

Accrued site closure costs are recorded at the time an environmental disturbance occurs, and are measured at the Company’s best estimate of the expected value of future cash flows required to reclaim the disturbance upon site closure, discounted to their net present value. The net present value is determined using a pre-tax discount rate that is specific to the liability. The estimated net present value is re-measured on an annual basis or when changes in circumstances occur and/or new material information becomes available. Increases or decreases to the provision arise due to changes in legal or regulatory requirements, the extent of environmental remediation required and cost estimates. The net present value of the estimated costs of these changes is recorded in the period in which the change is identified and quantifiable.

Upon initial recognition of site closure costs, there is a corresponding increase to the carrying amounts of related assets and the cost is amortized as an expense on a unit-of-production basis over the life of the related assets. The value of the provision is progressively increased over the life of the operation as the effect of discounting unwinds, such increase is recognized as finance expense.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company has not incurred and is not committed to any decommissioning obligations in respect of its mineral exploration properties.

g. Other provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

h. Loss per share

Loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, including contingently issuable shares which are included when the conditions necessary for issuance have been met. Diluted loss per share is calculated in a similar manner, except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include potentially issuable common shares from the assumed exercise of common share purchase options and

  • 11 -

Kuya Silver Corp. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 Stated in United States Dollars

warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares included in the calculation is based on the treasury stock method for options and warrants.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, all the outstanding stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive.

  • i. Related party transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

  • j. Financial instruments

Under IFRS 9, the Company’s accounting policy for financial instruments is as follows:

Financial assets

The Company initially recognizes financial assets on the trade date, which is the date upon which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in such transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability.

The Company classifies all of its non-derivative financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost. All financial assets that do not meet the criteria to be recognized as subsequently measured at amortized cost or subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).

Financial liabilities

The Company measures all of its non-derivative financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost. Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts originally received, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value is recognized in profit and loss over the period to maturity using the effective interest method. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recorded in profit or loss.

The following is a summary of the classification of financial instruments:

  • 12 -

Financial instruments Classification
Assets
Cash Amortized Cost
Liabilities
Accounts payable and
accrued liabilities
Amortized Cost
Due to related party Amortized Cost
  • k. Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issuance costs.

Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit and loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.

  • l. Valuation of equity instruments in private placements

The Company employs a relative fair value method with respect to the measurement of common shares and warrants issued as private placement units. Warrants attached to units are valued using the BlackScholes option pricing model with reference to the share price at the time of financing. The shares are valued based on the recent share transactions. The proceeds from the issuance units as well as the associated issuance costs are allocated pro-rata between share capital and warrants. When warrants are exercised, the applicable amounts of warrants are transferred to share capital. Any consideration paid on the exercise of the warrants is credited to share capital. For warrants that expire unexercised, the recorded value is transferred to the contributed surplus.

  • m. Critical accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are accounted for prospectively.

The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies under which significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are made and where actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position

  • 13 -

Kuya Silver Corp. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 Stated in United States Dollars

reported in future periods. Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments relate to the following:

Title to Mineral Properties

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. If the Company does not have title to its mineral properties, there will be adverse consequences to the Company and its business prospects.

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures

The Company charges all exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred prior to the establishment of technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources to operations as incurred. Determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability require the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions which may differ under varying conditions.

Share-based Payments

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the best estimate of reaching non-market performance criteria and most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in notes 5 and 6.

Bifurcation of Unit Proceeds

The Company employs a relative fair value method with respect to the measurement of common shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The amounts used to estimate fair values of warrants issued are based on estimates of future volatility of the Company’s share price, expected lives of the warrants, expected dividends to be paid by the Company and other relevant assumptions. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect of changes in such estimates on the consolidated financial statements of future periods could be significant.

The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for warrants are disclosed in note 6.

4. MINERAL PROPERTIES AND EXPLORATION EXPENDITURES

The Company is principally engaged in exploration for precious metals on its properties located in Peru.

In October 2017, the Company entered into the original “Share Purchase Agreement” to acquire up to 80% of the shares of S&L Andes Export S.A.C (“S&L Andes”), which owns 100% of the Bethania Mine (as defined below). S&L Andes is a private Peruvian based company based in Lima that owns 100% of the Bethania Silver Property (Santa Elena concession) and Chinita I concession (collectively referred to as the “Bethania Mine”).

The Share Purchase Agreement was then amended on February 2018, July 2018, February 2019 and June 2020. The financial terms from the original Share Purchase Agreement have not materially changed, however the payment terms were amended to be similar to an “earn-in” agreement, whereby each progressive investment or payment over time earns a larger stake in S&L Andes. To earn the 80% interest, the Company must make payments totalling $8,000,000 and issue 2,000,000 common shares of the Company to the owners of S&L Andes. The current Share Purchase Agreement (last amended in June 2020) outlines the following payments to acquire the 80% interest:

  • US$4.5M investment in the Bethania Mine:

  • US$2.5M toward repayment of debt and liabilities.

  • ● US$2M for a work program ( e.g. drilling, technical studies, mine expansion), mine care and maintenance, G&A, and deal costs.

  • US$3.5M acquisition payment (cash).

  • ● US$2.0M in Kuya Shares at a deemed price of USD$1.00 on closing of acquisition of S&L Andes.

The Share Purchase Agreement has been extended on each of the four amendments. According to the current amended agreement, the entire investment and payments must be made by April 30, 2021 (“Closing Date”). If the Company reaches the Closing Date before the entire investment amount and payment has been completed or the Company terminates the agreement prior to the Closing Date, it would receive the proportional ownership of S&L Andes based on a total valuation of $12.5M.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has paid a total of $3,265,363 which has earned the Company a 28.6% interest in S&L Andes, assuming conversion into shares. As of April 30, 2020, Kuya and the vendor agreed to recognize Kuya’s investment of US$3.66M by converting US$3.11M into a 27.0% interest in S&L Andes with $550,000 being retained as a loan from Kuya to S&L Andes, subject to the ratification of a new shareholder’s agreement. Kuya is continuing to work towards obtaining the full 80% in S&L Andes and has not yet converted its investment into shares of S&L Andes.

In addition, as at December 31, 2019, the Company, through its Peruvian subsidiary, applied for a total of 2 mining concessions covering an aggregate area of approximately 1,500 hectares, of which title had been granted to one concession (1000 ha) and the other application remained in process. The mining concessions have been named Tres Banderas.

b. Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the following items because it is not probable the future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can use the tax benefits there from:

Deferred Tax Assets

2019 2018
Resource properties $ 865,321 $ 555,697
Amounts related to tax loss and
credit carry forwards 31,282 13,098

Deferred taxes not recognized (896,603) (568,795)
Net deferred tax assets $ - $ -
Net deferred liabilities $ - $ -

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities result primarily from amounts not deductible for accounting purposes until future periods. Deferred income tax assets result primarily from operating tax loss carry forwards and have been offset against deferred income tax liabilities.

c. Loss carry forwards

The Company has non-capital losses of approximately $118,044 available for carry forward. Potential income tax benefits of the losses have not been recorded in the financial statements. These losses expire as follows:

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Values

The carrying amounts for the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these items.

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

The Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk as at December 31, 2019. The Company’s cash is on deposit with a highly rated banking group in Canada.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s approach to managing and mitigating liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due through management's use of financial forecasts and budgets. As at December 31, 2019, the Company has current assets of $80,078 and current liabilities of $119,324. All of the Company’s current financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 90 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company's working capital deficit is $39,246 as at December 31, 2019. The Company intends to address its working capital needs through private placements. See Note 1 for discussion on going concern assumption.

Market risk

  • (i) Interest rate risk

The Company has cash balances and does not have any interest-bearing debt and is not subject to significant interest rate risk.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

The Company incurs significant purchases denominated in currencies other than the presentation currency, the United States dollar, and are subject to foreign currency risk on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had cash of CDN$7,151. The Company does not hedge its foreign currency balances.

10. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to raise sufficient funds to execute its exploration plans. At December 31, 2019, the Company’s capital consists of shareholders’ deficit of $39,246 (2018 – deficit of $417,112).

  • 21 -

Kuya Silver Corp. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 Stated in United States Dollars

The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities.

The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2019.

11. ENVIRONMENTAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE OBLIGATIONS

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are governed by Peruvian Legislative Decree No. 613. The Company is required to present environmental studies on the impact of its exploration and mining operations to the Ministry of Energy and Mines. The Company may also provide financial assistance to local communities to facilitate relationships.

To date, the Company has not incurred any significant environmental or constructive liabilities.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  • a) In February 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 464,583 common shares at $1.20 per share for total gross proceeds of $557,500.

  • b) Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the Company, through its Peruvian subsidiary, filed applications for an additional two mining concessions covering an aggregate area of approximately 1,100 hectares.

  • c) Since December 31, 2019, the spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted many economies around the globe. In many countries, including Canada and Peru, businesses are being forced to cease or limit operations for long or indefinite periods of time. Measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in an economic slowdown. Global stock markets have also experienced great volatility and a significant weakening. Governments and central banks have responded with monetary and fiscal interventions to stabilize economic conditions. Almost all of the Company’s personnel work from home and the Company continues to manage its affairs via virtual business platforms.

The Company has determined that these events are non-adjusting subsequent events. Accordingly, the financial position and results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 have not been adjusted to reflect their impact. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank responses, remains unclear at this time. It is not possible to reliably estimate the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, nor its impact on the financial position and results of the Company for future periods.

  • d) On June 10, 2020, the Company executed a definitive agreement with Miramont Resources Corp. (“Miramont”) and 2757974 Ontario Inc. (“275”), whereby all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company will be exchanged for shares of Miramont on the basis of 1.835 Miramont shares for each one

  • 22 -

Kuya Silver Corp. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 Stated in United States Dollars

share of Kuya. It is expected that the transaction will be structured as a three-cornered amalgamation in accordance with Section 174 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) in which the Company will amalgamate with 275, a newly incorporated, wholly owned subsidiary of Miramont, formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the transaction. Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of closing conditions, including the completion of the consolidation, completion of the name change, completion of the concurrent financing, and applicable shareholder and regulatory approvals. Following the transaction, the amalgamated company will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Miramont.

As a condition to the completion of the transaction, the Company must complete a private placement financing for minimum gross proceeds of CAD$1,000,000. The Company announced its intention to complete a brokered private placement of subscription receipts at a price of CAD$1.65 per subscription receipt to raise gross proceeds of up to CAD$10,000,000.

KUYA SILVER CORP.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended December 31, 2019

The following is management’s discussion and analysis (“ MD&A ”) Kuya Silver Corp. (“ Kuya ” or the “ Company ”), prepared as of August 7, 2020. This MD&A should be read together with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and related notes. Financial amounts are expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise specified.

Certain information included in this MD&A may constitute forward-looking statements. Statements in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements involving known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to vary considerably from these statements. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

The Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (" IFRS ") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“ IASB ”) using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the IASB and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.

The Company’s Business and Overall Performance

The Company was incorporated on August 9, 2017 pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company is a private company with a focus on exploring and developing its mineral properties in Peru as detailed below.

Mineral Development Projects

In October 2017, Kuya entered into the Bethania Share Purchase Agreement (the “ Bethania SPA ”) to acquire up to 80% of the shares of S&L Andes Export S.A.C. (“ Andes ”), a private Peruvian company based in Lima, that owns 100% of the Bethania Silver Property (Santa Elena concession) and Chinita I concession (together the “ Asset ”).

Kuya agreed to acquire an 80% controlling interest in the Asset from Alfredo Soria and Erika Soria (the “ Soria Family ”), the owners of Andes, by investing a total of US$10.0 million; a combination of work and capital/debt commitments to the Asset, cash payments, and common shares in the capital of Kuya (the “ Kuya Shares ”). The current Bethania SPA (amended most recently in June 2020) outlines the following investments to acquire the Asset:

  • US$4.5M investment in the Bethania Silver Property:

  • US$2.5M toward repayment of historical debt and liabilities.

  • US$2M for a work program (including drilling, 43-101 technical reports, mine expansion costs), mine care and maintenance, G&A, and deal costs.

  • US$3.5M acquisition payment to Soria Family (cash).

  • US$2.0M in Kuya Shares at a deemed price of USD$1.00 on closing of acquisition of the Asset.

The entire investment and payments must be made by April 30, 2021 (the “ Closing Date ”). If Kuya reaches the Closing Date before the entire investment amount and payment has been completed or Kuya terminates the Bethania SPA prior to the Closing Date, it will receive the proportional ownership of Andes based on a total valuation of US$12.5 million and enter into a new shareholders’ agreement with the Soria Family. Also, in the event that Kuya determines that the entire amount allocated to debt and liabilities repayment is not required, the difference could be re-allocated to the work program at Kuya’s discretion such that the total investment amount remains the same. As of April 30, 2020, Kuya had invested US$3.66 million to fulfill

the terms of the Bethania SPA. Kuya and the Soria Family agreed to convert approximately US$3.1 million investment into a 27.0% interest in Andes with $550,000 being retained as a loan from Kuya to Andes. Kuya is continuing to work towards obtaining the full 80% in Andes and has not yet converted its investment into shares of S&L Andes.

Subsequent to the year end, on June 10, 2020, Kuya entered into the definitive agreement (the “ Amalgamation Agreement ”) with Miramont Resources Corp. (“ Miramont ”), a publicly traded company on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“ CSE ”) and 2757974 Ontario Inc., whereby all the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company will be exchanged for common shares of Miramont (“ Miramont Shares ”), on the basis of 1.835 Miramont Shares (following a consolidation of the Miramont Shares on a ten for one basis), resulting in a reverse takeover of Miramont by the Company (the “ Transaction ”). At the same time of entering of the Amalgamation Agreement, the parties announced a brokered private placement of subscription receipts to raise gross proceeds of up to CAD$10,000,000. The Transaction is described in more detail below in the Proposed Transaction section.

Subsequent to the year end, on July 23, 2020, Kuya entered into an agency agreement with Cormark Securities Inc. (on behalf of itself and a syndicate of agents) and Miramont (the “ Agency Agreement ”) with respect to the aforementioned private placement financing, and on the same date Kuya completed the brokered private placement financing of 7,174,590 Kuya subscription receipts and a concurrent nonbrokered private placement financing of 303,030 Kuya subscription receipts, both at an issue price of $1.65 per Kuya subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$12,338,074 (the “ Concurrent Financing ”). Kuya agreed to pay agents fees and expenses of CAD$559,709 on the brokered private placement resulting in net proceeds, before transaction expenses, of CAD$11,778,365, such net proceeds being held in escrow by a subscription receipt agent and to be released to Kuya upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement. Based on the closing of the Concurrent Financing and the expected closing of the Transaction, Kuya should be in a strong enough financial position to fulfill the terms of the Bethania SPA and to complete the acquisition of the 80% in the Asset.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year Ended December 31, 2019

The Company incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss of $1,558,355 for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to a net loss and comprehensive loss of $1,912,895 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in loss is due to less investment into the Bethania SPA during 2019 as compared to 2018.

Trends in expenses and the composition of expenses during the year ended December 31, 2019 were:

  • The Company incurred exploration and evaluation expenses of $1,169,895 (2018 - $1,623,776) fulfilling the terms of the Bethania SPA, and this amount was allocated to permitting and engineering design for the expansion project, repayment of historical liabilities, payment to the owners, geological evaluation expenses, care and maintenance of the Bethania mine, and other administrative expenses in Peru and Canada.

  • General and administrative expenses of $69,781 (2018 - $49,238) included costs to promote the Company both online and at industry events, office and other expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $80,078 (December 31, 2018 - $43,689) and working capital of -$39,246 (December 31, 2018 – working capital of -$417,112).

Some of the factors affecting the Company’s liquidity are:

  • The Company will have to incur ongoing costs to fulfill the terms of the Bethania SPA.

  • Subsequent to year end in February 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 464,583 common shares at $1.20 per share for total gross proceeds of $557,500.

  • Subsequent to the year end, on July 23, 2020, Kuya entered into the Agency Agreement with respect to the aforementioned Concurrent Financing, and on the same date Kuya completed the brokered private placement financing of 7,174,590 Kuya subscription receipts and a concurrent non-brokered private placement financing of 303,030 Kuya subscription receipts, both at an issue price of $1.65 per Kuya subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$12,338,074. Kuya agreed to pay agents fees and expenses of CAD$559,709 on the brokered private placement resulting in net proceeds, before transaction expenses, of CAD$11,778,365, such net proceeds being held in escrow by a subscription receipt agent and to be released to Kuya upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement.

Based on its current operating plan, management estimates that the Company may not have enough cash to support operations for at least 12 months, and may require further financing. Since there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate cash from its operations in the foreseeable future, the Company will have to rely on the issuance of shares or debt to fund ongoing operations and investment. The ability of the Company to raise capital will depend on market conditions and it may not be possible for the Company to raise money on acceptable terms or at all.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, the Company has entered into informal loan transactions with a related party (David Stein, President and Director) in order to fund operations in between financing as follows:

Risks And Uncertainties

The Company is exposed to many risks in conducting its business, including but not limited to metal price risk as the Company may derive its revenues from the sale of silver, gold, lead, zinc and copper; credit risk in the normal course of business; foreign exchange risk as the Company reports its financial statements in U.S. dollars whereas the Company operates in jurisdictions that conducts its business in other currencies; the inherent risks of uncertainties in estimating mineral reserves and mineral resources; the risks and uncertainties in estimating Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves; the inherent risks in mining operations; the risk in relation to the Bethania expansion project construction; political risks, environmental risks; and risks related to its relations with employees

Foreign Jurisdiction Risk

The Company currently conducts its operations in Peru. This jurisdiction is potentially subject to a number of political and economic risks, including those described in the following section. The Company is unable to determine the impact of these risks or its future financial position or results of operations and the Company’s exploration, development and production activities may be substantially affected by factors outside of the Company’s control. These potential factors include but are not limited to royalty and tax increases or claims by governmental bodies, expropriation or nationalization, foreign exchange controls, import and export regulations, cancellation or renegotiation of contracts and environmental and permitting regulations.

All of the Company’s current operations are in Peru and as the Company’s business is carried on in a developing country, it is exposed to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including the following: expropriation or nationalization without adequate compensation; changing political and fiscal regimes, and economic and regulatory instability; unanticipated changes to royalty and tax regulations; unreliable and undeveloped infrastructure, labor unrest and labor scarcity; difficulty procuring key equipment and components for equipment; import and export regulation and restrictions; high rates of inflation; extreme fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the imposition of currency controls; inability to obtain fair dispute resolution or judicial determination because of bias, corruption or abuse of power; difficulties enforcing judgments; difficulties understanding and complying with regulatory and legal framework with respect to ownership and maintenance of mineral properties, mines and mining operations, local opposition to mine development projects, which include the potential for violence, property damage and frivolous or vexatious claims; terrorism and hostage taking; military repression and increased likelihood of international conflicts

or aggression; increased public health concerns. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are prevalent in the jurisdictions where the Company operates.

Liquidity and Financing Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligation as they become due. The Company will require external financing in the short-to-medium term to meet its development goals. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attain financing or and if so, pricing conditions may be less favourable than expected. Delays in the completion of financing transactions may directly affect the Company’s ability to achieve its goals and may decrease the Company’s cash flows. The volatility of the metals market can impact the Company’s ability to forecast cash flow from operations and obtain financing when required.

Estimating Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the estimation of Mineral Resources, Mineral Reserves and expected mineral grades. Until mineral deposits are actually mined and processed, Mineral Resources, Mineral Reserves must be considered as estimates only. Any such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices.

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves may require revision based on actual production experience. Market fluctuations in the price of metals, as well as increased production costs and reduced recovery rates, may render certain Mineral Reserves uneconomic and may ultimately result in a restatement of Mineral Resources and/or Mineral Reserves. Short-term operating factors relating to the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, such as the need for sequential development of ore bodies, may adversely affect the Company’s profitability in any accounting period. Estimates of operating costs are based on assumptions including those relating to inflation and currency exchange, which may prove incorrect. Estimates of mineralization can be imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable. In addition, the grade and/or quantity of precious metals ultimately recovered may differ from that indicated by drilling results. There can be no assurance that metals recovered in small scale tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under onsite conditions or in production scale. Amendments to mine plans and production profiles may be required as the amount of Mineral Resources changes or upon receipt of further information during the implementation phase of the project. Extended declines in market prices for silver and other metals may render portions of the Company’s mineralization uneconomic and result in reduced reported mineralization. Any material reduction in estimates of mineralization, or in the Company’s ability to develop its properties and extract and sell such minerals, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

Mining Operations

The capital costs required by the Company’s projects may be significantly higher than anticipated. Capital and operating costs, production and economic returns, and other estimates contained in the Company’s current technical reports, may differ significantly from those provided for in future studies and estimates and from management guidance, and there can be no assurance that the Company’s actual capital and operating costs will not be higher than currently anticipated. In addition, delays to construction and exploration schedules may negatively impact the net present value and internal rates of return of the Company’s mineral properties as set forth in the applicable technical report. Similarly, there can be no assurance that historical rates of production, grades of ore processed, rates of recoveries or mining cash costs will not experience fluctuations or differ significantly from current levels over the course of the mining operations conducted by the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to extend the production from its current operations through exploration and drilling programs.

Environmental Uncertainties

All phases of the Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. These laws address emissions into the air, discharges into water, management of waste, management of hazardous substances, protection of natural resources, antiquities and endangered species and reclamation of lands disturbed by mining operations. The Company’s operations generate chemical and metals depositions in the form of tailings. The Company’s ability to obtain, maintain and renew permits and approvals and to successfully develop and operate mines may be adversely affected by real or perceived impacts associated with the Company’s activities or of other mining companies that affect the environment, human health and safety. Environmental hazards may exist on the Company’s properties which are unknown to the Company at present and were caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties, for which the Company could be held liable. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner requiring stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations may require significant capital outlays on behalf of the Company and may cause material changes or delays in the Company's intended activities. Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities, causing operations to cease or be curtailed. Such enforcement actions may include the imposition of corrective measures requiring capital expenditure, installation of new equipment or remedial action. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Metal Price and Sales Risk

The Company expects to derive revenue from the sale of silver, gold, lead zinc and copper. The Company’s sales are directly dependent on metal prices, and metal prices have historically shown significant volatility that is beyond the Company’s control. The Company must also find buyers for its concentrates, and these sales contracts are subject to market condition outside of the Company’s control, including treatment charge, refining charge and penalty pricing and other adjustments as well as international transportation costs.

Currency Risk

The functional and reporting currency for all entities within the consolidated group is the US dollar. We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as a portion of our expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars and Peruvian soles. A significant change in the foreign exchange rates between the United States dollar relative to the other currencies could have a material effect on the Company’s profit or loss, financial position, or cash flows.

Key Personnel

The Company is dependent on a number of key management and employee personnel. The Company’s ability to manage its exploration, development, construction and operating activities, and hence its success, will depend in large part on the ability to retain current personnel and attract and retain new personnel, including management, technical and unskilled employees. The loss of the services of one or more key management personnel, as well as a prolonged labor disruption, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to successfully manage and expand its affairs.

Claims and Legal Proceedings

The Company may be subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the normal course of business. These matters are subject to various uncertainties and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved with an unfavorable outcome to the Company.

SHARE CAPITAL

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. The holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared, and to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. All shares are ranked equally with regards to the Company's residual assets.

During the year ended December, 2019, the Company:

  • In May 2019, the Company issued 1,284,000 common shares pursuant to a private placement for $1 per share. The proceeds comprised cash of $725,000, settlement of a related party loan for $500,000 and settlement of fees for services amounting to $59,000.

  • In September 2019, the Company issued 97,500 common shares at $1 per share pursuant to a private placement for cash proceeds of $97,500.

  • In December 2019, the Company issued 195,733 common shares at $1.20 per share pursuant to a private placement for cash proceeds of $234,880.

Subsequent to year end in February 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 464,583 common shares at $1.20 per share for total gross proceeds of $557,500.

Subsequent to year end in July 2020, Kuya completed the brokered private placement financing of 7,174,590 Kuya subscription receipts and a concurrent non-brokered private placement financing of 303,030 Kuya subscription receipts, both at an issue price of $1.65 per Kuya subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$12,338,074. Kuya agreed to pay agents fees and expenses of CAD$559,709 on the brokered private placement resulting in net proceeds, before transaction expenses, of CAD$11,778,365, such net proceeds being held in escrow by a subscription receipt agent and to be released to Kuya upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

As at the date of this MD&A there were:

  • A total of 7,107,349 common shares issued and outstanding (6,642,766 common shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2019);

  • Share purchase warrants authorizing the purchase of 1,040,167 shares at a price of $0.001 exercisable on the completion of the purchase of the 80% interest in S&L Andes;

  • Share purchase warrants authorizing the purchase of 5,474 shares at a price of $1.00 per share expiring September 18, 2020.

There are currently no stock options issued or outstanding.

PROPOSED TRANSACTION

Subsequent to the year end, Kuya executed the Amalgamation Agreement with Miramont whereby Miramont will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Kuya in exchange for Miramont Shares on the basis of 1.835 Miramont Shares (following the consolidation of the Miramont Shares on a ten for one basis) for each Kuya common share issued and outstanding. The Transaction will constitute a "Fundamental Change" of Miramont as defined by CSE policies.

Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, Miramont will complete a consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares (the " Consolidation ") on the basis of one post-Consolidation common share for every ten (10) outstanding common shares in the capital of Miramont. Following the Consolidation, each of the shareholders of Kuya will receive 1.835 Miramont Shares in exchange for each share held in the capital of Kuya (the “ Exchange Ratio ”) and holders of convertible securities in Kuya will receive replacement securities in Miramont adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. As a condition to the completion of the Transaction, Kuya must complete a private placement financing in the minimum amount of C$1,000,000, which was completed as further detailed herein. Upon completion of the Transaction Miramont will change its name to “Kuya Silver Corporation” or such other similar name as the parties may agree to (the “ Name Change ”).

It is expected that the Transaction will be structured as a three-cornered amalgamation in accordance with Section 174 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) in which Kuya will amalgamate with 2757974 Ontario Inc., a newly incorporated, wholly-owned subsidiary of Miramont, formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction. Following the Transaction, the amalgamated company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Miramont.

In connection with the Transaction, on July 23, 2020, Kuya entered into the Agency Agreement with respect to the aforementioned Concurrent Financing, and on the same date Kuya completed the brokered private placement financing of 7,174,590 Kuya subscription receipts and a concurrent non-brokered private placement financing of 303,030 Kuya subscription receipts, both at an issue price of $1.65 per Kuya subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$12,338,074. Kuya agreed to pay agents fees and expenses of CAD$559,709 on the brokered private placement resulting in net proceeds, before transaction expenses, of CAD$11,778,365, such net proceeds being held in escrow by a subscription receipt agent and to be released to Kuya upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement.

Each Subscription Receipt will be deemed to be exchanged upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions (as defined below) on or before the day that is 180 days following closing of the Concurrent Financing (the “ Release Deadline ”), without payment of any additional consideration, for one common share of Kuya (each a “ Kuya Share ”). The resulting issuer following completion of the Transaction will use the net proceeds from the Concurrent Financing to fund exploration and engineering costs for the development of the Bethania project, as well as to complete its obligations to acquire an 80% interest in Andes, the entity that holds the Bethania project.

The gross proceeds of the Concurrent Financing have been deposited in escrow on the closing date and shall be released to Kuya upon Kuya having obtained the approval of the CSE and completion of certain other matters, including the completion of all material conditions necessary to complete the Transaction (the " Release Conditions ") on or before the Release Deadline. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before the Release Deadline, or if prior to such date Kuya advises Cormark Securities Inc. or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Release Conditions, the escrow agent will return to holders of the Subscription Receipts, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for the Subscription Receipts held by such holder, together with a pro rata portion of the interest earned on the escrowed proceeds.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Kuya Silver Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada on August 9, 2017. The principal address and records office of the Company is located at 217 Queen Street W., Suite 401, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 0R2.

The Company is primarily engaged in the redevelopment and restart of the Bethania Silver Mine in Peru via an option agreement with Peruvian mine owners. To date, the Company has not earned revenues and considered to be in the exploration stage. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties held by the optionor, these procedures do not guarantee the title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, aboriginal claims, and non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated revenue from operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred a loss of $590,610, and as of that date, the Company had a working capital deficit of $55,067. The Company will need to raise funds to continue operations and, although it has been successful in doing so in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. In these circumstances, there exist material uncertainties resulting in significant doubt as to the ability of Kuya to continue as a going concern and continue to meet its obligations as they come due. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments or disclosures that may result should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be required to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the expenses, the reported comprehensive loss and the statement of financial position classifications used that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. These adjustments could be material.

On June 10, 2020, the Company executed a definitive agreement with Miramont Resources Corp. (“Miramont”) and 2757974 Ontario Inc. (“275”), whereby all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company will be exchanged for shares of Miramont on the basis of 1.835 Miramont shares for each one share of Kuya. It is expected that the transaction will be structured as a three-cornered amalgamation in accordance with Section 174 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) in which the Company will amalgamate with 275, a newly incorporated, wholly owned subsidiary of Miramont, formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the transaction. Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of closing conditions, including the completion of the consolidation, completion of the name change, completion of the concurrent financing, and applicable shareholder and regulatory approvals. Following the transaction, the amalgamated company will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Miramont. As a condition to the completion of the transaction, the Company must complete a private placement financing for minimum gross proceeds of CAD$1,000,000. The Company intends to complete a brokered private placement of subscription receipts at a price of CAD$1.65 per subscription receipt to raise gross proceeds of up to CAD$10,000,000.

The global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 has had a material adverse effect on the global economy and on the regional economies in which the Company operates. The pandemic could continue to have negative impact on the ability to raise new capital; on commodity prices and the future outlook for the Company; and on the ability to conduct operations due to lockdown restrictions. Due to timing of the

  • 6 -

outbreak, the pandemic has had limited impact on the Company’s operations in the period ended June 30, 2020. However, going forward these factors, among others, could have a significant impact on the Company’s operational capability, and on its ability to raise further funding to carry out desired work programmes.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the policies applied in the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

  • 7 -

Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

a. Critical accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are accounted for prospectively.

The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies under which significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are made and where actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments relate to the following:

Title to Mineral Properties

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. If the Company does not have title to its mineral properties, there will be adverse consequences to the Company and its business prospects.

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures

The Company charges all exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred prior to the establishment of technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources to operations as incurred. Determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability require the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions which may differ under varying conditions.

Share-based Payments

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the best estimate of reaching non-market performance criteria and most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.

Bifurcation of Unit Proceeds

  • 8 -

The Company employs a relative fair value method with respect to the measurement of common shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The amounts used to estimate fair values of warrants issued are based on estimates of future volatility of the Company’s share price, expected lives of the warrants, expected dividends to be paid by the Company and other relevant assumptions. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect of changes in such estimates on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of future periods could be significant.

4. MINERAL PROPERTIES AND EXPLORATION EXPENDITURES

The Company is principally engaged in exploration for precious metals on its properties located in Peru.

In October 2017, the Company entered into the original “Share Purchase Agreement” to acquire up to 80% of the shares of S&L Andes Export S.A.C (“S&L Andes”), which owns 100% of the Bethania Mine (as defined below). S&L Andes is a private Peruvian based company based in Lima that owns 100% of the Bethania Silver Property (Santa Elena concession) and Chinita I concession (collectively referred to as the “Bethania Mine”).

The Share Purchase Agreement was then amended February 2018, July 2018, February 2019 and June 2020. The financial terms from the original Share Purchase Agreement have not materially changed, however the payment terms were amended to be similar to an “earn-in” agreement, whereby each progressive investment or payment over time earns a larger stake in S&L Andes. To earn the 80% interest, the Company must make payments totalling $8,000,000 and issue 2,000,000 common shares of the Company to the owners of S&L Andes. The current Share Purchase Agreement (last amended in June 2020) outlines the following payments to acquire the 80% interest:

  • US$4.5M investment in the Bethania Mine:

  • US$2.5M toward repayment of debt and liabilities.

  • US$2M for a work program ( e.g. drilling, technical studies, mine expansion), mine care and maintenance, G&A, and deal costs.

  • US$3.5M acquisition payment (cash).

  • US$2.0M in Kuya Shares at a deemed price of USD$1.00 on closing of acquisition of S&L Andes.

The Share Purchase Agreement has been extended on each of the four amendments. According to the current amended agreement, the entire investment and payments must be made by April 30, 2021 (“Closing Date”). If the Company reaches the Closing Date before the entire investment amount and payment has been completed or the Company terminates the agreement prior to the Closing Date, it would receive the proportional ownership of S&L Andes based on a total valuation of $12.5M.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company has paid a total of $3,765,489 which has earned the Company a 28.6% interest in S&L Andes, assuming conversion into shares. As of April 30, 2020, Kuya and the vendor agreed to recognize Kuya’s investment of US$3.66M by converting US$3.11M into a 27.0% interest in S&L Andes with $550,000 being retained as a loan from Kuya to S&L Andes, subject to the ratification of a new shareholder’s agreement.

In addition, as at June 30, 2019, the Company, through its Peruvian subsidiary, have applied for a total of 4 mining concessions covering an aggregate area of approximately 2,600 hectares, of which title has been granted to one concession (1000 ha), and the other three are in process. The mining concessions have been named Tres Banderas, Tigro and Ena.

KUYA SILVER CORP.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

The following is management’s discussion and analysis (“ MD&A ”) of Kuya Silver Corp. (“ Kuya ” or the “ Company ”), prepared as of August 7, 2020. This MD&A should be read together with the unaudited interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and related notes, and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and related notes. Financial amounts are expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise specified.

Certain information included in this MD&A may constitute forward-looking statements. Statements in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements involving known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to vary considerably from these statements. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

The Company’s unaudited interim financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“ IASB ”) using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the IASB and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.

The Company’s Business and Overall Performance

The Company was incorporated on August 9, 2017 pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company is a private company with a focus on exploring and developing its mineral properties in Peru as detailed below.

Mineral Development Projects

In October 2017, Kuya entered into the Bethania Share Purchase Agreement (the “ Bethania SPA ”) to acquire up to 80% of the shares of S&L Andes Export S.A.C. (“ Andes ”), a private Peruvian company based in Lima, that owns 100% of the Bethania Silver Property (Santa Elena concession) and Chinita I concession (together the “ Asset ”).

Kuya agreed to acquire an 80% controlling interest in the Asset from Alfredo Soria and Erika Soria (the “ Soria Family ”), the owners of Andes, by ianvesting a total of US$10.0 million; a combination of work and capital/debt commitments to the Asset, cash payments, and common shares in the capital of Kuya (the “ Kuya Shares ”). The current Bethania SPA (amended most recently in June 2020) outlines the following investments to acquire the Asset:

  • US$4.5M investment in the Bethania Silver Property:

  • US$2.5M toward repayment of historical debt and liabilities.

  • US$2M for a work program (including drilling, 43-101 technical reports, mine expansion costs), mine care and maintenance, G&A, and deal costs.

  • US$3.5M acquisition payment to Soria Family (cash).

  • US$2.0M in Kuya Shares at a deemed price of USD$1.00 on closing of acquisition of the Asset.

The entire investment and payments must be made by April 30, 2021 (the “ Closing Date ”). If Kuya reaches the Closing Date before the entire investment amount and payment has been completed or Kuya terminates the Bethania SPA prior to the Closing Date, it will receive the proportional ownership of Andes based on a total valuation of US$12.5 million and enter into a new shareholders’ agreement with the Soria Family. Also,

in the event that Kuya determines that the entire amount allocated to debt and liabilities repayment is not required, the difference could be re-allocated to the work program at Kuya’s discretion such that the total investment amount remains the same. As of April 30, 2020, Kuya had invested US$3.66 million to fulfill the terms of the Bethania SPA. Kuya and the Soria Family agreed to convert approximately US$3.11 million investment into a 27.0% interest in Andes with $550,000 being retained as a loan from Kuya to Andes. In May and June 2020 Kuya invested an additional $104,500 into the Bethania project, for a total investment as of June 30, 2020 of $3.76 million

On June 10, 2020, Kuya entered into the definitive agreement (the “ Amalgamation Agreement ”) with Miramont Resources Corp. (“ Miramont ”), a publicly traded company on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“ CSE ”) and 2757974 Ontario Inc., whereby all the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company will be exchanged for common shares of Miramont (“ Miramont Shares ”), on the basis of 1.835 Miramont Shares (following a consolidation of the Miramont Shares on a ten for one basis) resulting in a reverse takeover of Miramont by the Company (the “ Transaction ”). At the same time of entering of the Amalgamation Agreement, the parties announced a brokered private placement of subscription receipts to raise gross proceeds of up to CAD$10,000,000. Based on the closing of the private placement (as detailed below) and expected closing of the Transaction, Kuya should be in a strong enough financial position to fulfill the terms of the Bethania SPA and to complete the acquisition of the 80% in the Asset. The Transaction is described in more detail below in the Proposed Transaction section.

Subsequent to the end of the period ending June 30, 2020, on July 23, 2020, Kuya entered into an agency agreement with Cormark Securities Inc. (on behalf of itself and a syndicate of agents) and Miramont (the “ Agency Agreement ”) with respect to the aforementioned private placement financing, and on the same date Kuya completed the brokered private placement financing of 7,174,590 Kuya subscription receipts and a concurrent non-brokered private placement financing of 303,030 Kuya subscription receipts, both at an issue price of $1.65 per Kuya subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$12,338,074 (the “ Concurrent Financing ”). Kuya agreed to pay agents fees and expenses of CAD$559,709 on the brokered private placement resulting in net proceeds, before transaction expenses, of CAD$11,778,365, such net proceeds being held in escrow by a subscription receipt agent and to be released to Kuya upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement. Based on the closing of the Concurrent Financing and expected closing of the Transaction, Kuya should be in a strong enough financial position to fulfill the terms of the Bethania SPA and to complete the acquisition of the 80% in the Asset.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - INTERIM

Six months ending June 30, 2020

The Company incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss of $590,610 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 as compared to a net loss and comprehensive loss of $971,323 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in loss is due to less investment into the Bethania SPA and reduced share-

based compensation during the six-month period ending June 30, 2020 as compared to the six-month period ending June 30, 2019.

Trends in expenses and the composition of expenses during the period ending June 30, 2020 were:

  • During the six-month period ending June 30, 2020, the Company incurred exploration and evaluation expenses of $503,687 (June 30, 2019 - $762,356) fulfilling the terms of the Bethania SPA, and this amount was allocated to permitting and engineering design for the expansion project, repayment of historical liabilities, payment to the owners, care and maintenance of the Bethania mine, and other administrative expenses in Peru and Canada.

  • General and administrative expenses during the six-month period ending June 30, 2020 of $69,997 (June 30, 2019 - $49,674) included new costs to pay executive consulting fees, while this was partially offset by significantly lower corporate promotion costs. Office and other administrative expenses were fairly consistent.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $72,140 (June 30, 2019 - $152,900) and working capital of -$55,067 (June 30, 2019 – working capital of $52,639).

Some of the factors affecting the Company’s liquidity are:

  • The Company will have to incur ongoing costs to fulfill the terms of the Bethania SPA.

  • In February 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 464,583 common shares at $1.20 per share for total gross proceeds of $557,500.

  • Subsequent to the end of the period ending June 30, 2020, on July 23, 2020, Kuya entered into the Agency Agreement and Miramont with respect to the aforementioned Concurrent Financing, and on the same date Kuya completed the brokered private placement financing of 7,174,590 Kuya subscription receipts and a concurrent non-brokered private placement financing of 303,030 Kuya subscription receipts, both at an issue price of $1.65 per Kuya subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$12,338,074. Kuya agreed to pay agents fees and expenses of CAD$559,709 on the brokered private placement resulting in net proceeds, before transaction expenses, of CAD$11,778,365, such net proceeds being held in escrow by a subscription receipt agent and to be released to Kuya upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement.

Based on its current operating plan, management estimates that the Company may not have enough cash to support operations for at least 12 months, and may require further financing. Since there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate cash from its operations in the foreseeable future, the Company will have to rely on the issuance of shares or debt to fund ongoing operations and investment. The ability of the Company to raise capital will depend on market conditions and it may not be possible for the Company to raise money on acceptable terms or at all.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, the Company has entered into informal loan transactions with a related party (David Stein, President and Director) in order to fund operations in between financing as follows:

Period ended June 30, 2020
($)
Period ended June 30, 2019
($)
$71,075
Due to director/shareholder $71,075

Accounts payables and accrued liabilities at June 30, 2020 of $56,131 are due to a director of the Company (June 30, 2019 - $29,186).

During the six-month period ending June 30, 2020, the Company paid $30,000 for consulting fees to a director (June 30, 2019 - Nil).

Risks And Uncertainties

The Company is exposed to many risks in conducting its business, including but not limited to metal price risk as the Company may derive its revenues from the sale of silver, gold, lead, zinc and copper; credit risk in the normal course of business; foreign exchange risk as the Company reports its financial statements in U.S. dollars whereas the Company operates in jurisdictions that conducts its business in other currencies; the inherent risks of uncertainties in estimating mineral reserves and mineral resources; the risks and uncertainties in estimating Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves; the inherent risks in mining operations; the risk in relation to the Bethania expansion project construction; political risks, environmental risks; and risks related to its relations with employees

Foreign Jurisdiction Risk

The Company currently conducts its operations in Peru. This jurisdiction is potentially subject to a number of political and economic risks, including those described in the following section. The Company is unable to determine the impact of these risks or its future financial position or results of operations and the Company’s exploration, development and production activities may be substantially affected by factors outside of the Company’s control. These potential factors include but are not limited to royalty and tax increases or claims by governmental bodies, expropriation or nationalization, foreign exchange controls, import and export regulations, cancellation or renegotiation of contracts and environmental and permitting regulations.

All of the Company’s current operations are in Peru and as the Company’s business is carried on in a developing country, it is exposed to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including the following: expropriation or nationalization without adequate compensation; changing political and fiscal regimes, and economic and regulatory instability; unanticipated changes to royalty and tax regulations; unreliable and undeveloped infrastructure, labor unrest and labor scarcity; difficulty procuring key equipment and components for equipment; import and export regulation and restrictions; high rates of inflation; extreme fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the imposition of currency controls; inability to obtain fair dispute resolution or judicial determination because of bias, corruption or abuse of power; difficulties enforcing judgments; difficulties understanding and complying with regulatory and legal framework with respect to ownership and maintenance of mineral properties, mines and mining operations, local opposition to mine development projects, which include the potential for violence, property damage and frivolous or vexatious claims; terrorism and hostage taking; military repression and increased likelihood of international conflicts or aggression; increased public health concerns. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are prevalent in the jurisdictions where the Company operates.

Liquidity and Financing Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligation as they become due. The Company will require external financing in the short-to-medium term to meet its development goals. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attain financing or and if so, pricing conditions may be less favourable than expected. Delays in the completion of financing transactions may directly affect the Company’s ability to achieve its goals and may decrease the Company’s cash flows. The volatility of the metals market can impact the Company’s ability to forecast cash flow from operations and obtain financing when required.

Estimating Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the estimation of Mineral Resources, Mineral Reserves and expected mineral grades. Until mineral deposits are actually mined and processed, Mineral Resources, Mineral Reserves must be considered as estimates only. Any such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices.

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves may require revision based on actual production experience. Market fluctuations in the price of metals, as well as increased production costs and reduced recovery rates, may render certain Mineral Reserves uneconomic and may ultimately result in a restatement of Mineral Resources and/or Mineral Reserves. Short-term operating factors relating to the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, such as the need for sequential development of ore bodies, may adversely affect the Company’s profitability in any accounting period. Estimates of operating costs are based on assumptions including those relating to inflation and currency exchange, which may prove incorrect. Estimates of mineralization can be imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable. In addition, the grade and/or quantity of precious metals ultimately recovered may differ from that indicated by drilling results. There can be no assurance that metals recovered in small scale tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under onsite conditions or in production scale. Amendments to mine plans and production profiles may be required as the amount of Mineral Resources changes or upon receipt of further information during the implementation phase of the project. Extended declines in market prices for silver and other metals may render portions of the Company’s mineralization uneconomic and result in reduced reported mineralization. Any material reduction in estimates of mineralization, or in the Company’s ability to develop its properties and extract and sell such minerals, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

Mining Operations

The capital costs required by the Company’s projects may be significantly higher than anticipated. Capital and operating costs, production and economic returns, and other estimates contained in the Company’s current technical reports, may differ significantly from those provided for in future studies and estimates and from management guidance, and there can be no assurance that the Company’s actual capital and operating costs will not be higher than currently anticipated. In addition, delays to construction and exploration schedules may negatively impact the net present value and internal rates of return of the Company’s mineral properties as set forth in the applicable technical report. Similarly, there can be no assurance that historical rates of production, grades of ore processed, rates of recoveries or mining cash costs will not experience fluctuations or differ significantly from current levels over the course of the mining operations conducted by the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to extend the production from its current operations through exploration and drilling programs.

Environmental Uncertainties

All phases of the Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. These laws address emissions into the air, discharges into water, management of

waste, management of hazardous substances, protection of natural resources, antiquities and endangered species and reclamation of lands disturbed by mining operations. The Company’s operations generate chemical and metals depositions in the form of tailings. The Company’s ability to obtain, maintain and renew permits and approvals and to successfully develop and operate mines may be adversely affected by real or perceived impacts associated with the Company’s activities or of other mining companies that affect the environment, human health and safety. Environmental hazards may exist on the Company’s properties which are unknown to the Company at present and were caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties, for which the Company could be held liable.

Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner requiring stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations may require significant capital outlays on behalf of the Company and may cause material changes or delays in the Company's intended activities. Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities, causing operations to cease or be curtailed. Such enforcement actions may include the imposition of corrective measures requiring capital expenditure, installation of new equipment or remedial action. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Metal Price and Sales Risk

The Company expects to derive revenue from the sale of silver, gold, lead zinc and copper. The Company’s sales are directly dependent on metal prices, and metal prices have historically shown significant volatility that is beyond the Company’s control. The Company must also find buyers for its concentrates, and these sales contracts are subject to market condition outside of the Company’s control, including treatment charge, refining charge and penalty pricing and other adjustments as well as international transportation costs.

Currency Risk

The functional and reporting currency for all entities within the consolidated group is the US dollar. We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as a portion of our expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars and Peruvian soles. A significant change in the foreign exchange rates between the United States dollar relative to the other currencies could have a material effect on the Company’s profit or loss, financial position, or cash flows.

Key Personnel

The Company is dependent on a number of key management and employee personnel. The Company’s ability to manage its exploration, development, construction and operating activities, and hence its success, will depend in large part on the ability to retain current personnel and attract and retain new personnel, including management, technical and unskilled employees. The loss of the services of one or more key management personnel, as well as a prolonged labor disruption, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to successfully manage and expand its affairs.

Claims and Legal Proceedings

The Company may be subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the normal course of business. These matters are subject to various uncertainties and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved with an unfavorable outcome to the Company.

SHARE CAPITAL

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. The holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared, and to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. All shares are ranked equally with regards to the Company's residual assets.

During the six-month period ending June 30, 2020, the Company:

  • In February 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 464,583 common shares at $1.20 per share for total gross proceeds of $557,500.

Subsequent to end of the period ending June 30, 2020, in July 2020, Kuya completed the brokered private placement financing of 7,174,590 Kuya subscription receipts and a concurrent non-brokered private placement financing of 303,030 Kuya subscription receipts, both at an issue price of $1.65 per Kuya subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$12,338,074. Kuya agreed to pay agents fees and expenses of CAD$559,709 on the brokered private placement resulting in net proceeds, before transaction expenses, of CAD$11,778,365, such net proceeds being held in escrow by a subscription receipt agent and to be released to Kuya upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

As at the date of this MD&A there were:

  • A total of 7,107,349 common shares issued and outstanding;

  • Share purchase warrants authorizing the purchase of 1,040,167 shares at a price of $0.001 exercisable on the completion of the purchase of the 80% interest in Andes;

  • Share purchase warrants authorizing the purchase of 5,474 shares at a price of $1.00 per share expiring September 18, 2020.

There are currently no stock options issued or outstanding.

PROPOSED TRANSACTION

Subsequent to the year end, Kuya executed the Amalgamation Agreement with Miramont whereby Miramont will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Kuya in exchange for Miramont Shares on the basis of 1.835 Miramont Shares (following the consolidation of the Miramont Shares on a ten for one basis) for each Kuya common share issued and outstanding. The Transaction will constitute a "Fundamental Change" of Miramont as defined by CSE policies.

Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, Miramont will complete a consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares (the " Consolidation ") on the basis of one post-Consolidation common share for every ten (10) outstanding common shares in the capital of Miramont. Following the Consolidation, each of the shareholders of Kuya will receive 1.835 Miramont Shares in exchange for each share held in the capital of Kuya (the “ Exchange Ratio ”) and holders of convertible securities in Kuya will receive replacement securities in Miramont adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. As a condition to the completion of the Transaction, Kuya must complete a private placement financing in the minimum amount of C$1,000,000, which was completed as further detailed herein. Upon completion of the Transaction, Miramont will change its name to “Kuya Silver Corporation” or such other similar name as the parties may agree to.

It is expected that the Transaction will be structured as a three-cornered amalgamation in accordance with Section 174 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) in which Kuya will amalgamate with 2757974 Ontario Inc., a newly incorporated, wholly-owned subsidiary of Miramont, formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction. Following the Transaction, the amalgamated company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Miramont.

In connection with the Transaction, on July 23, 2020, Kuya entered into the Agency Agreement with respect to the aforementioned Concurrent Financing, and on the same date Kuya completed the brokered private placement financing of 7,174,590 Kuya subscription receipts and a concurrent non-brokered private placement financing of 303,030 Kuya subscription receipts, both at an issue price of $1.65 per Kuya subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$12,338,074. Kuya agreed to pay agents fees and expenses of CAD$559,709 on the brokered private placement resulting in net proceeds, before transaction expenses, of CAD$11,778,365, such net proceeds being held in escrow by a subscription receipt agent and to be released to Kuya upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement.

Each Subscription Receipt will be deemed to be exchanged upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions (as defined below) on or before the day that is 180 days following closing of the Concurrent Financing (the “ Release Deadline ”), without payment of any additional consideration, for one common share of Kuya (each a “ Kuya Share ”). The resulting issuer following completion of the Transaction will use the net proceeds from the Concurrent Financing to fund exploration and engineering costs for the development of the Bethania project, as well as to complete its obligations to acquire an 80% interest in Andes, the entity that holds the Bethania project.

The gross proceeds of the Concurrent Financing have been deposited has been deposited in escrow on the closing date and shall be released to Kuya upon Kuya having obtained the approval of the CSE and completion of certain other matters, including the completion of all material conditions necessary to complete the Transaction (the " Release Conditions ") on or before the Release Deadline. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before the Release Deadline, or if prior to such date Kuya advises Cormark Securities Inc. or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Release Conditions, the escrow agent will return to holders of the Subscription Receipts, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for the Subscription Receipts held by such holder, together with a pro rata portion of the interest earned on the escrowed proceeds.

MIRAMONT RESOURCES CORP.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Expressed in US Dollars) (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared in connection with the proposed transaction between Miramont Resources Corp. (“Miramont”) and Kuya Silver Corp. ("Kuya"). Miramont, Kuya, and 2757974 Ontario Inc. (“2757974”) entered into an amalgamation agreement dated June 10, 2020 (the “Amalgamation Agreement”). Pursuant to the amalgamation agreement, Miramont will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Kuya in exchange for shares of Miramont (the “Transaction”). Kuya is a privately held Ontario corporation and is engaged in the business of mineral exploration and development and has an option to acquire an 80% interest in the Bethania Silver property in Peru. 2757974 is a wholly owned subsidiary of Miramont, formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been compiled from and should be read in conjunction with:

  • unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Miramont as at and for the nine months ended April 30, 2020;

  • audited consolidated financial statements of Miramont as at and for the year ended July 31, 2019;

  • unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Kuya as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2020;

  • audited consolidated financial statements of Kuya as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019;

  • the additional information set out in Notes 3, 4, and 5 of these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements; and

  • Schedule A – translation of Miramont’s April 30, 2020 statement of financial position.

A statement of loss and comprehensive loss has not been included as management believes it would not provide meaningful information given the current stage of operations of Miramont and Kuya and the expected operations of the combined entity.

The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are set out in Kuya’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, a preliminary review was undertaken to identify any accounting policy differences between the accounting policies used by Miramont and those of Kuya where the impact was potentially material and could be reasonably estimated.

A final review of accounting policies and policy elections will be completed after closing to ensure any differences have been identified and adjusted.

In the April 30, 2020 financial statements of Miramont, the functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”) and in the June 30, 2020 financial statements of Kuya, the functional and presentation currency is the US dollar (“USD”). These pro forma consolidated financial statements have been presented in US dollars, and accordingly, the financial information of Miramont has been translated to US dollars. An exchange rate of 1.3898 has been applied to the conversion of CAD to USD (Schedule A).

A final review of the functional currencies of the various entities in the consolidated group will be re-evaluated on completion of the Transaction.

MIRAMONT RESOURCES CORP. NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Expressed in US Dollars) (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont’d…)

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is not intended to reflect the consolidated financial position that will exist following the Transaction. Actual amounts recorded should the Transaction be completed will likely differ from those recorded in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information. Any potential synergies that may be realized and integration costs that may be incurred upon consummation of the Transaction have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information.

2. PROPOSED TRANSACTION

Under the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, Miramont and Kuya entered into an acquisition transaction pursuant to Ontario corporate law whereby Miramont will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Kuya for consideration of the issuance of an aggregate of 13,041,985 Miramont post-Consolidation (as defined below) common shares, such consideration being 1.835 post-Consolidation common shares (as defined below) of Miramont for each Kuya share held (the “Exchange Ratio”). Prior to the date of closing of the Transaction, Miramont will consolidate its current issued and outstanding common shares, options and warrants on a 10 old for one new basis (the “Consolidation”). The terms for 92,500 options of Miramont were changed to vest immediately and have an exercise period of one year. Additionally, the 1,045,641 outstanding warrants of Kuya will be exchanged for 1.835 warrants of Miramont for each Kuya warrant held. Concurrent with the completion of the Transaction, Kuya agreed to complete a private placement financing. On July 23, 2020, Kuya completed a brokered and a non-brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $8,877,590 (CAD$12,338,074) (the “Financings”).

The Transaction is an arm’s length transaction.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of Miramont give effect to the Transaction. The former shareholders of Kuya will obtain control of Miramont and, as such, the transaction is considered a purchase of Miramont by Kuya and is expected to be accounted for as a reverse takeover (the “RTO”) in accordance with the guidance provided under IFRS 2, Share-based payment and IFRS 3, Business Combinations . Kuya is deemed to be the acquiring company and its assets, liabilities, equity and historical operating results are included at their historical carrying values. The net assets of Miramont will be recorded at fair value as at the Transaction date. As Miramont does not qualify as a business according to the definition in IFRS 3 and the Transaction is expected to be accounted for as an RTO, the sum of the fair value of the consideration deemed to be paid by Kuya, less Miramont’s net assets acquired, is expected to be recognized as a listing expense. All of Miramont’s share capital, reserves and deficit balances prior to the Transaction are expected to be eliminated on closing of the Transaction.

On closing of the Transaction, Miramont will change its name to Kuya Silver Corporation (“Name Change”), or such other similar name as the parties may agree to, and is expected to have 32,340,740 post-Consolidation common shares outstanding (Note 4).

The completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including: (i) the approval of Miramont’s shareholders; (ii) the approval of Kuya’s shareholders; (iii) receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals for the Transaction; (iv) completion of the Consolidation; and (v) completion of the Name Change. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed.

3. PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position assumes the financial information of Kuya at June 30, 2020 reflects the financial information of Kuya at April 30, 2020 and gives effect to the completion of the Transaction as if it had occurred on the date presented.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the following assumptions:

  • a) As consideration to acquire 100% of the shares of Kuya, Miramont will issue 13,041,985 post-Consolidation common shares.

The preliminary allocation of the estimated cost of acquisition, subject to change, is summarized as follows:

Cost of acquisition:

Fair value of post-Consolidation common shares retained by Miramont
shareholders - 5,577,323 common shares at CAD$0.90 (Note 3c)
Fair value of Miramont stock options (Note 3d)
Fair value of Miramont warrants (Note 3e)
Allocated as follows:
Cash
Receivables
Prepaids and advances
Equipment
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

(27,655)
1,569,735

3,685,124

In late June, Miramont provided notice that it will terminate its interest in its Lukkacha option agreement and, accordingly, the full carrying value of $1,095,609 (CAD $1,522,678) the exploration and evaluation assets will be written off and allocated to the cost of the public listing expense.

The final determination of the cost of acquisition and the related allocation of the fair value of Miramont’s net assets will ultimately be determined after the closing of the Transaction. It is likely that the final determination of the consideration transferred and the related allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will vary from the amounts presented in this unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information and that those differences may be material.

b) The elimination of historical share capital, reserves and deficit of Miramont.

3. PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS (cont’d…)

  • c) On July 23, 2020, Miramont and Kuya announced that Kuya had completed the Financings and raised gross proceeds of $8,877,590 (CAD$12,338,074) through the issuance of 7,477,620 subscription receipts, whereby each Kuya subscription receipt will automatically convert into 1.835 Miramont post-Consolidation common shares (for a total of 13,721,432 postConsolidation Miramont common shares). Each subscription receipt was priced at $1.19 (CAD$1.65). Cash commissions totalling $402,726 (CAD $559,709) will be paid on the Financings and will be recorded as share issue costs in share capital. After giving effect to the Exchange Ratio, the effective value per post-Consolidation common share of Miramont is CAD$0.90.

  • d) The terms of 65,000 and 27,500 Miramont post-Consolidation stock options, issued to consultants of Miramont, with postConsolidation exercise prices of CAD$3.75, and CAD$4.15, respectively, were changed. These options have been valued at $6,034, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of one year, expected volatility of 114%, risk free rate of return of 0.30% and a dividend yield of $nil. These options vest immediately. The fair value of the remaining outstanding Miramont options is $56,005 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of three years, expected volatility of 135%, risk free rate of return of 0.30% and a dividend yield of $nil.

  • e) The fair value of the outstanding Miramont warrants is $11,349 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of nine months, expected volatility of 114%, risk free rate of return of 0.30% and a dividend yield of $nil.

From and after the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, and other than with respect to the Financing, neither Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees (other than to the extent required by Law), agents or Affiliates (and their officers, directors or employees) shall, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, encourage or conduct discussions with or engage in negotiations with any Person, other than the other Party, relating to the possible acquisition of Kuya or Mont, as applicable, or any of its Affiliates (whether by way of merger, purchase of shares, purchase of assets or otherwise) or any material portion of its shares or assets, (ii) provide information with respect to Kuya or Mont, as applicable, or any of its Affiliates to any Person, other than the Parties, relating to the possible acquisition of Kuya or Mont, as applicable, (whether by way of merger, purchase of shares, purchase of assets or otherwise) or any material portion of its shares or assets, (iii) enter into an agreement with any Person, other than the Parties, providing for the acquisition of such Party or any of its affiliates (whether by way of merger, purchase of shares, purchase of assets or otherwise) or any material portion of its shares or assets, or (iv) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any possible acquisition of such Party (whether by way of merger, purchase of shares, purchase of assets or otherwise) or any material portion of its shares or assets by any Person, other than by the Parties.

7.7 Refrain from Certain Actions

No Party shall take any action, refrain from taking any action (subject to commercially reasonable efforts) or permit any action to be taken or not taken, inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or which would or could reasonably be expected to materially impede the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby or which would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such Party.

7.11 Exemptions from Registration Requirements of U.S. Securities Laws

The Parties hereto intend for the issuances and exchanges of shares contemplated hereby to be exempt from the registration requirements of any applicable United States federal and state securities laws and, accordingly, each agrees to take such further commercially reasonable actions (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party may reasonably request with regards to maintaining such exemptions.
