LABRADOR GOLD CORP. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020

Labrador Gold Corp. Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2021

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and of the financial position of Labrador Gold Corp. (“Labrador Gold” or the “Company”) is prepared as of January 26, 2022, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

The financial information presented herein is expressed in Canadian dollars, except where noted.

The Company’s financial statements are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Company Information

Labrador Gold is a company involved in the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in the Americas and is publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) and the OTCQX Exchange. To date, the Company has not earned significant revenues and is in the exploration stage.

On September 5, 2017, and as amended December 7, 2020, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) that grants the Company the option to earn a 100% interest in the Ashuanipi, Nain and Hopedale properties, located in Labrador (the “Labrador Properties”). The Company is meeting the terms of the LOI in respect of Hopedale property but has dropped the Ashuanipi and Nain properties. Additional claims adjacent to Hopedale were staked in fiscal 2018 and are being earned under the terms of the LOI.

In December 2017, the Company changed its name to Labrador Gold to reflect its corporate focus on gold exploration in Labrador and its commitment to the systematic exploration of the Labrador Properties for gold. The Company retained the services of Roger Moss, CEO of the Company, on a full-time basis to further this corporate objective.

In March 2020, the Company acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the Gander Property, subsequently renamed the Kingsway Property, near Gander, Newfoundland.

The Company also holds a 100% interest in the Borden Lake Extension Property (the “Borden Lake Property”) located near Chapleau, Ontario, Canada.

At September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $33,245,743 (September 30, 2020 - $6,298,629) and working capital of $32,152,436 (September 30, 2020 - $6,216,155). The Company believes it has sufficient funds to finance its planned exploration and general and administrative costs for the current fiscal year.

The Company does not anticipate generating significant revenues in the near future. As a result, the Company will be required to continue raising funds in order to finance its ongoing property evaluation program and general and administrative expenses. This will most likely be accomplished through the sale of equity.

Highlights

On October 8, 2020, the Company granted 450,000 share purchase options to a consultant and an officer, exercisable at a price of $0.45 per share until October 8, 2025.

On October 29, 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 7,500,000 flow-through units at a price of $0.54 per flow-through unit, for gross proceeds of $4,050,000. Each flow-through unit consists of one flow-through common share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable to acquire a common share at $0.60 until October 29, 2022. Palisades Goldcorp Ltd. purchased all of the flow-through units through a donation arrangement. As a result of the flow-through offering, Palisades Goldcorp became an insider of the Company holding approximately 13.57% of the Company at the time of the offering. The Company paid a finder's fee of $180,000 in relation to the offering.

Labrador Gold Corp. Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2021

Results of Operations

Year ended September 30, 2021

The year ended September 30, 2021 reported a net loss of $2,742,542 compared to a net loss of $2,048,908 for the year ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net loss was mainly due to the increase in impairment of unproven mineral right interests of $2,616,048 (September 30, 2020 - $nil) related to the impairment of the Ashuanipi and Nain properties and the increase in corporate development during the current year.

During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $1,483,565 in acquisition costs and $6,396,645 in deferred exploration expenses, capitalized as unproven mineral right interests. The Company recorded an impairment of $714,750 in acquisition costs and an impairment of $1,901,298 in deferred exploration expenses.

From time to time, the Company may acquire or dispose of mineral right interests pursuant to the terms of option agreements. Since options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded as assets but as resource property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Labrador Gold is a development-stage company that currently does not generate significant revenues and does not anticipate doing so in the near future.

Labrador Gold held cash of $33,245,743 at September 30, 2021, compared to $6,298,629 at September 30, 2020.

At September 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of $32,152,436 (September 30, 2020 - $6,216,155).

The Company is not subject to debt covenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this filing, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company including, without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources that have not previously been discussed.

Unproven Mineral Right Interests

Ownership in mineral right interests involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining and obtaining clear title to claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the ambiguous conveyance history of many mineral right interests. The Company has investigated ownership of its mineral right interests and, to the best of its knowledge, ownership of its interests are in good standing.

Labrador Properties

On September 5, 2017, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) that grants the Company the option to earn a 100% interest in the Ashuanipi, Nain and Hopedale properties, located in Labrador (the “Labrador Properties”).

To exercise the option, the Company must complete the following:

  • On receipt of TSX-V approval: payment of $75,000 and issuance of 450,000 shares in respect of each of the three Labrador Properties (completed);

  • On or before September 5, 2018: payment of $100,000 and issuance of 300,000 shares in respect of each property (completed with the payment of $200,000 and issuance of 600,000 shares on the Ashuanipi and Hopedale properties, as the Company dropped its option on the Nain property);

  • On or before September 5, 2019: payment of $75,000 and issuance of 175,000 shares in respect of the Ashuanipi property and payment of $150,000 and issuance of 350,000 shares in respect of the Hopedale property (completed);

  • On or before September 5, 2020: payment of $50,000 and issuance of 400,000 shares in respect of each of the Ashuanipi and Hopedale properties (completed);

  • On or before September 5, 2021: payment of $100,000 and issuance of 675,000 shares in respect of the Ashuanipi property and payment of $100,000 and issuance of 500,000 shares in respect of the Hopedale property (completed with the payment of $100,000 and issuance of 500,000 shares on the Hopedale property, as the Company dropped its option on the Ashuanipi property);

  • On or before September 5, 2022: payment of $150,000 in respect of the Hopedale property; and

  • On or before September 5, 2023:$125,000 in respect of the Hopedale property.

The vendors of the Labrador Properties retain a 2% net smelter return “(NSR”) royalty, half of which may be bought back by the Company at any time for $2 million plus $1 per ounce of gold in measured and indicated resources. An advance royalty of $25,000 per annum for each property will be payable starting in 2024.

During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company terminated its option to acquire the Nain property.

During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company terminated its option to acquire the Ashuanipi Property and

  • 4 -

Labrador Gold Corp. Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2021

returned the property to the vendor. The Company had been unable to perform any work on the project since 2019 due to a request by the First Nations. The Company was not able to reach an agreement with the First Nations to carry out any work on the property and does not expect to return to work at Ashuanipi at any time in the near term.

In connection with termination of the Nain and Ashuanipi options, the Company wrote off the previously capitalized costs associated with these properties. The Company recorded an impairment of unproven mineral right interests of $2,616,048 in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss during the year ended September 30, 2021.

The Company maintains its interest in the Hopedale Property. On December 7, 2020, the LOI was replaced with the Hopedale Option Agreement, which contains the same terms as those of the LOI. In June 2021, the Company staked additional new claims at the Hopedale property. The new claims are subject to the 2% NSR held by the vendors of the Labrador property. Also, during the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company abandoned certain claims at the Hopedale property that had been staked in May 2018 and were being earned into by the Company under the terms of the LOI.

Kingsway Property

On March 3, 2020, the Company announced it had acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the Gander Property, subsequently renamed the Kingsway Property, (“Kingsway”) near Gander, Newfoundland. To exercise the option, the Company must complete the following:

  • As consideration for the option: payment of $250,000 and issuance of 400,000 common shares (completed);

  • On or before March 3, 2021: payment of $150,000 cash and issuance of 250,000 common shares (completed);

  • On or before March 3, 2022: payment of $150,000 cash and issuance of 300,000 common shares;

  • On or before March 3, 2023: payment of $200,000 cash and issuance of 350,000 common shares;

  • On or before March 3, 2024: payment of $250,000 cash and issuance of 400,000 common shares;

  • On or before March 3, 2025: payment of $250,000 cash and issuance of 300,000 common shares;

  • Incur $750,000 in expenditures on each of two licenses ($1.5 million total) over the first four years of the option; and

  • Complete additional payments totaling $2.25 million based on exploration expenditures incurred, as follows:  $750,000 upon incurring an aggregate of $10 million in expenditures on one of the licenses;

  • $750,000 upon incurring an aggregate of $20 million in expenditures on one of the licenses; and

  • $750,000 upon incurring an aggregate of $30 million in expenditures on one of the licenses.

The Company will also grant a 1% NSR to the Vendor plus $1 per ounce of gold in a measured and indicated resource. An advance royalty of $50,000 per annum for each property will be payable starting in 2026.

On July 6, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% of License 023940M which is strategically positioned between the Kingsway North and South claim blocks.

The Company can earn an initial 75% undivided property interest by completing the following:

  • Cash payment of $18,000 (paid) and issuance of 30,000 common shares (issued), within 5 business days of TSX-V acceptance of the option agreement;

  • Cash payment of $36,000 (paid), issuance of 90,000 common shares (issued) and incurring $100,000 (incurred) in property work expenditures on or before the first anniversary of the option agreement;

  • Cash payment of $75,000, issuance of 120,000 common shares and incurring an additional $250,000 (cumulative $350,000) in property work expenditures on or before the second anniversary of the option agreement; and

  • Cash payment of $90,000, issuance of 150,000 common shares and incurring an additional $650,000 (cumulative $1 million) in property work expenditures on or before the third anniversary of the option agreement.

If the Company exercises the initial 75% option and satisfies all payment requirements, the Company has the option to acquire the remaining 25% interest by making a cash payment of $240,000 and incurring a further $1 million in property work expenditures on or before the fourth anniversary of the option agreement.

  • 5 -

Labrador Gold Corp. Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2021

If the Company only exercises the option to earn an initial 75% property interest but does not exercise the option to acquire the remaining 25% interest, the parties will form an unincorporated joint venture.

Borden Lake Property

The Company has a 100% undivided interest in the Borden Lake Property (the “Borden Lake Property”) located near Chapleau Ontario. The 1,598-hectare property lies immediately east of, and adjacent to, Newmont-Goldcorp’s Borden Lake gold project. The original vendors of the Borden Lake Property retain a 2% NSR royalty, half of which may be bought back by the Company for $1 million at any time.

Scotch Property

The Company has a 100% undivided interest in the Scotch Property (the “Scotch Property) acquired by staking in March 2021. The Scotch Property is located approximately 71 kilometres southwest of Moncton, New Brunswick and currently consists of 25 claims covering an area of approximately 61 square kilometres.

Exploration Activity –2021

Roger Moss, Ph.D, P.Geo, a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43101 has approved the scientific and technical disclosure in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and has verified the data disclosed.

During the 2021 fiscal year, Labrador Gold focused exploration on the Kingsway Gold Project near Gander Newfoundland. Following repeated unsuccessful attempts to reach an agreement with members of the Matimekush - Lac Jean First Nation the Ashuanipi Project was returned to the Vendor. While no work was carried out at the Hopedale project during the fiscal year, a follow up prospecting program was completed subsequent to the year end.

Kingsway Exploration

Exploration at Kingsway focused on following up the discovery of visible gold in quartz veins at Big Vein as well as continuing exploration elsewhere on the property. Diamond drilling was the main activity with a total of 15,927 metres drilled in 73 holes between April 1 and September 31, 2021. This drilling was focused at Big Vein where several mineralized quartz vein zones including Big Vein, HTC and HTC footwall were discovered. Mineralization consists of pyrite, arsenopyrite and occasional visible gold hosted in vuggy, stylolitic quartz veins. The Big Vein target was tested over approximately 300 metres along strike and down to 200 metres vertical depth. Highlights of the drilling are given in Table 1.

Figure 2. Long Section of the HTC Zone – Big Vein Target.

Till sampling during the year resulted in significant numbers of gold grains contained in the samples. Results for 59 till samples taken over the southern Kingsway property show contained gold grains ranging from 0 to 311 grains. Twelve of the 59 samples contained more than 50 gold grains, of which four contained more than 100 grains.

A till sample containing 165 gold grains, of which 153 (93%) are pristine, occurs just down ice of Big Vein which is the likely source of the grains in this till sample. Two samples containing 165 (96% pristine) and 311 (83% pristine) gold grains occur approximately 700 metres northeast (down ice) of Big Vein (Figure 3). The large number of pristine grains in these samples indicates a short transport distance suggesting a source other than Big Vein closer to the sample locations. Follow up of these anomalous samples, called the Pristine Target, with diamond drilling to find the source is currently underway.

Prospecting across the property, but with particular emphasis along the Appleton Fault Zone, resulted in the discovery of the Golden Glove gold occurrence. Visible gold is present in an outcrop of quartz vein, grab samples from which assayed between 2.16 to 338.08 g/t Au.

During 2022 drilling will continue at the Big Vein and Pristine targets. In addition, the Company expects to start drilling at Golden Glove in Q1 2022. On January 19, 2022 the Company announced the doubling of the proposed drill program from 50,000 to 100,000 metres. This increase was justified by the numerous targets generated during the 2021 fiscal year. In addition to the drilling, mapping, prospecting and geochemistry will be undertaken to continue to assess the full potential of the Kingsway property.

Risk factors

COVID-19 Risks

The worldwide emergency measures taken to combat the COVID-19 pandemic may continue, could be expanded, and could also be reintroduced in the future following relaxation. As governments implement monetary and fiscal policy changes aimed to help stabilize economies and capital markets, we cannot predict legal and regulatory responses to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health issues and how these responses may impact our business. The COVID-19 pandemic, actions taken globally in response to it, and the ensuing economic downturn has caused significant disruption to business activities and economies. The depth, breadth and duration of these disruptions remain highly uncertain at this time. Furthermore, governments are developing frameworks for the staged resumption of business activities. As a result, it is difficult to predict how significant the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any responses to it, will be on the global economy and our business. We have outlined these risks in more detail below.
