LABRADOR RESOURCES INC.
(Formerly, Labrador Technologies Inc.)
YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2024
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Introduction
The following Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") is prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-102F1, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Labrador Resources Inc. (formerly, Labrador Technologies Inc. ("LTX" or the "Company") for the years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023. Additional information with respect to LTX can be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar.
International Financial Reporting Standards
The Company's financial statements for the twelve-month periods ended October 31, 2024, and October 31, 2023, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). For each reporting period in 2024, the Company has presented comparative information for 2023, both for interim and annual financial statements, as applicable, on an IFRS basis.
Non-IFRS Measures
In addition to the financial measures reported in accordance with IFRS, the Company uses certain non-IFRS measures, such as working capital, to supplement the analysis of financial performance, financial position, and cash flow. These non-IFRS measures provide investors and management with an alternative method for assessing the Company's operating results and financial position, focusing specifically on the Company's liquidity and capital resources.
Working capital is calculated as current assets subtracted by current liabilities and is intended to provide insight into the Company's liquidity position. Management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's ability to meet its short-term obligations and fund ongoing operations. This measure is derived from the Statement of Financial Position and can vary significantly over time as it is influenced by seasonal factors, changes in business operations, and the timing of cash receipts and payments.
These non-IFRS measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. They should be considered as supplementary information rather than as a substitute for measures of performance or financial position prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The Company also provides a reconciliation of non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS measures where applicable. However, the reader is cautioned that these measures are provided to enhance the overall understanding of the Company's current liquidity and capital position and should not be viewed as a measure of performance or indicative of future results.

Outlook
The Company is actively seeking to expand its technical team to take advantage of its oil and gas property - followed by expansion into other opportunities in the oil and gas sector. General and administrative expenses have decreased, which were offset by higher finance costs. Management remains committed to maintaining financial discipline until operations in the oil and gas sector that contribute positive cash flow have been completed.
Highlights
On September 3, 2024, the Company entered into a non-binding letter agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Critical Path Resources Corp., an exploration company holding sixteen contiguous uranium exploration mineral claims in northern Saskatchewan (the "Acquisition Agreement"). The Acquisition Agreement contemplated that consideration would be paid to the vendor via the issuance of 5,800,000 common shares of the Company. Among other conditions, including obtaining regulatory approvals including that of the TSX Venture Exchange, closing remained conditional upon the completion of a private placement of the Company's common shares in the minimum amount of $800,000. The private placement was required to provide funding to complete exploration work commitments made part of the Acquisition Agreement. The Acquisition Agreement contemplated that additional common shares or cash payments would be made to the vendors upon the Company reaching certain exploration milestones. The acquisition agreement required that certain of the Company's creditors restructure existing debt to extend repayment terms and also to limit the assets that the creditor's general security agreements pertained to.
On October 31, 2024 the Acquisition Agreement was terminated by mutual consent as a result of the Company not having completed the private placement in the minimum amount.
On June 18, 2024, the Company settled its two-year promissory note, issued on April 5, 2022, in cash. The note had a face value of $50,000 and bore interest at a rate of 7% per annum.
On February 28, 2024, February 2, 2023, and October 30, 2023, the Company entered into debt extending agreements (the "Debt Extension Agreements") regarding certain indebtedness of the Company that were acquired by an arm's length party in the amount of $291,662 as at October 31, 2024. The Debt Extension Agreements extended the repayment terms of the debt such that it is repayable on November 30, 2025.
On February 2, 2023, a promissory note was issued in the amount of $232,000 in relation to the acquisition of the Company's oil and gas property. On February 28, 2024, the term of promissory note was extended from February 28, 2025 to November 30, 2025.
On February 2, 2023, a convertible debenture in the face value amount of $350,000 was issued by the Company in respect of the closing of the acquisition of the Company's oil and gas property. The convertible debenture was not convertible by the Company or the Vendor until a minimum of six months following the closing date. The conversion price was $0.05 per common share for the period ending 12 months following closing and at price of $0.10 per common share for the following 12 months. On February 28, 2024, the maturity date was extended to November 30, 2025. Effective February 2, 2025, the convertibility feature of the convertible debenture terminated (see "Subsequent Events").

Financial Position
As of October 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $79,862, down from $196,525 as of October 31, 2023. This reduction reflects the use of cash in operating activities, financing costs, and investment in or carrying costs associated with the Company's oil and gas property.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had working capital of $43,771 as of October 31, 2024 (October 31, 2023 – $182,243) to fund continuing operations.
The Company has an operating facility in place that allows for maximum draws of $650,000. During the period, the Company repaid a $50,000 of the draws under the operating facility together with accrued interest, resulting in both a reduction in cash and an increase in the available credit facility to its full amount.
The Company may need to secure additional financing from time to time in excess of the maximum amount that can be drawn under the credit facility.
Key Management Personnel Compensation
The key management personnel of the Company are the members of the Company's executive management team and Board of Directors.
In addition to their salaries and director fees, as applicable, directors and executive officers, along with certain employees of the Company, also participate in the Company's stock option plan. Compensation expenses incurred with respect to key management personnel were as follows:
| Three months ended October 31, | Twelve months ended October 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| Consulting fees | - | - | - | 17,500 |
| Total Compensation | - | - | - | 17,500 |
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements for the period ended October 31, 2024, 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. However, the Company continues to incur operating losses and has limited cash reserves, raising uncertainty about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively seeking additional financing through debt or equity to fund operations. If the Company is unable to secure adequate funding, it may be required to delay, reduce, or cease certain business activities.

Financial Risk Management
The Company is exposed to various financial risks, including liquidity risk, credit risk, and market risk:
- Liquidity Risk: The Company's exposure to liquidity risk arises from its obligation to meet short-term liabilities. With cash of $79,862 as of October 31, 2024, and the full credit facility available, the Company continues to actively manage its liquidity through cost control and seeking additional financing.
- Credit Risk: The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by maintaining cash balances with large financial institutions. The repayment of the $50,000 advance under its operating facility will serve to improve the Company's credit profile with its lenders.
- Market Risk: The Company's loans and borrowings are subject to fixed interest rates, thus mitigating exposure to interest rate fluctuations. However, changes in commodity prices for uranium and oil may impact future revenue potential.
Management believes the going concern assumption is still appropriate for these financial statements but is dependent upon the successful raising of sufficient capital in the future as required, achieving and sustaining profitable operations, as well as the continued support from related parties and trade and other creditors. There can be no assurance that the steps management is taking will be successful. This assumption will be reviewed on an ongoing basis by management and the Board of Directors. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, reported revenues and expenses and the classifications used in the statement of financial position. The Company does not engage in hedging activities to manage risks.
Capital Management
The Company makes adjustments to its capital structure in light of general economic conditions and the Company's working capital requirements. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, may pay dividends, buy back shares or undertake other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions not in the ordinary course of business. The Company's objectives in managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue its strategy to maximize the return to its shareholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of cash, credit facility and shareholders' deficit. The credit facility is not subject to any financial covenants. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital.
The following table sets forth the Company's total available credit:
| As at | October 31, 2024 | October 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum borrowing base limit: | $ | $ |
| Credit facility (1) | 650,000 | 650,000 |
| Principal amount utilized: | ||
| Note Payable (See Settlement of Promissory Note below) | - | (50,000) |
| Accrued and Unpaid Interest | - | (5,408) |
