GENERAL BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENT

LFNT Resources Corp. is in the mining and exploration sector.

The Company's head office and registered office address is 401 – 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2T7, Canada.

BUSINESS CHRONOLOGY

On June 23, 2022, LFNT Resources Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

On February 10, 2023, the Company changed its name from LFNT Capital Corp. to LFNT Resources Corp.

On April 26, 2023, trading of the Company's common shares commenced on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol "LFNT."

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

To date, the Company has not realized profitable operations and has relied on equity and trade credit to fund the losses. The Company recognized a loss and comprehensive loss of $162,024 during the nine months ended July 31, 2023.

The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, which is the mining and exploration sector in Canada. As the operations comprise a single reporting segment, amounts disclosed also represent segment amounts.

DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS

The Company does not have any revenue as it is in the early stages of exploration of its newly acquired Skyfire property and Sudbury project. The Company's management intends to explore the Skyfire property and Sudbury project and hopefully prove that it contains economically recoverable resources.

Skyfire property

On August 19, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement whereby the Company will have the right to earn a 100% interest in the Skyfire property. The Skyfire property is comprised of 1,897 hectares including 7 BCMTO claim tenures located in the Cariboo Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company can earn a 100% interest in the Skyfire property by making the following payments to the Optionors:

Cash payment amount Shares to be issued Minimum exploration

the 4th anniversary date. 4th anniversary date of the
Agreement.
$200,000 1,000,000 shares $1,035,000

Excess expenditures from one year can be applied to the next. If there is a shortfall in exploration expenditures in any one year, the Agreement can be maintained in good standing by making a payment, in the equivalent cash, of the shortfall to the Skyfire optionors. If the Company spends more funds in one year than prescribed by this section, the surplus will be applied and carried forward to the following years.

In addition, the Skyfire optionors will receive an additional 500,000 shares on the confirmation of a resource on the Skyfire property and an additional 500,000 shares upon a decision by the Company to produce minerals from the property.

The Skyfire property is subject to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") royalty in favour of the property optionors. The Company has the right to purchase 1% of the NSR for $2,000,000 any time prior to the commencement of commercial production. The NSR buy-out price will be adjusted annually according to the consumer price index with a base of December 31, 2025.

Rising inflation and delayed shipping services may adversely affect the Company's exploration activities and business operations in the future.

Pursuant to the Skyfire property agreement, the Company issued 100,000 common shares on May 3, 2023 and 100,000 common shares on August 21, 2023.

Sudbury project

On July 26, 2023, the Company entered into a Binding Letter Agreement (the "Sudbury Agreement") whereby the Company will have the right to earn a 100% interest in the Sudbury project.

The Sudbury project is located in the La Ronge Region of Saskatchewan, Canada. Pursuant to the terms of the Sudbury Agreement the Company can earn a 100% interest in the Sudbury project by making the following payments to the Sudbury optionors:

Cash payment amount Shares to be issued Minimum exploration
to optionors to optionors requirements
$50,000 on the execution anddelivery of the SudburyAgreement (paid). 1,500,000 shares to be issued within10 days of the date of the SudburyAgreement (issued). $125,000 to be spent on or beforethe 1st anniversary date of theeffective date.

$300,000 7,500,000 shares $2,125,000

Excess expenditures from one year can be applied to the next. If there is a shortfall in exploration expenditures in any one year, the Sudbury Agreement can be maintained in good standing by making a payment, in the equivalent cash, of the shortfall to Sudbury optionors. If the Company spends more funds in one year than prescribed by this section, the surplus will be applied and carried forward to the following years.

The Sudbury project is subject to a 2.5% NSR royalty in favour of the property Sudbury optionors.

The Company has the right to purchase 0.5% of the NSR for $5,000,000 in cash any time prior to the 5th anniversary date of the Sudbury Agreement. Upon closing of such purchase and sale, the NSR shall be deemed to be 2% of NSR.

Pursuant to the Sudbury property agreement, the Company issued 1,500,000 common shares on August 22, 2023.

The most significant quarterly loss and comprehensive loss of $72,208 during the four most recent quarters occurred in Q1 ended January 31, 2023. The loss in that period was primarily attributed to $51,131 of exploration expenses incurred on the Skyfire property.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at July 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of $331,405 (October 31, 2022 - $543,429).

The continuation ofthe Company as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital or debt financing, on reasonable terms, in order to meet business objectives towards achieving profitable business operations.

There can be no assurance that consultants, service providers, and advisors will continue to extend unpaid accounts, services, and liabilities to the Company in order to maintain its business and filing requirements as a reporting issuer.

Fluctuating commodity prices can have a material impact on the Company's financial performance and ability to obtain financing with reasonable terms.

There are 9,649,998 warrants outstanding. The Company has not granted any stock options.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Balances

At July 31, 2023, accounts payable and accrued liabilities include $11,070 (October 31, 2022 - $7,197) owing to ARO Consulting Inc., a company controlled by one of the Company's directors. This amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no fixed terms of repayment.

Transactions

The Company recorded $29,225 in management and consulting fees to ARO Consulting Inc., a company controlled by one of the Company's directors for the nine months ended July 31, 2023.

All related party transactions are in the normal course of operations and have been measured at the agreed to amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies and methods employed by the Company determine how it reports its financial condition and results of operations and may require management to make judgements or rely on assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company's results of operations are reported using policies and methods in accordance with IFRS. In preparing condensed interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses for the period. Management reviews its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using the most current information available.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of condensed interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during this period.

Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events, or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include the recoverability of exploration expenses and recognition of deferred tax amounts.

Critical judgments exercised in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed interim financial statements are as follows:

Going concern

Management assesses the Company's ability to continue as a going concern at each reporting date, using all quantitative and qualitative information available. This assessment, by its nature, relies on estimates of future cash flows and other future events, whose subsequent changes could materially impact the validity of such an assessment.

Impairment of assets

The impairment assessment of a financial asset requires judgment. Management evaluates the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost, and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow. When the fair value declines, management makes a judgment if the decline in value is other than temporary impairment to be recognized in profit or loss.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the relatively short-term nature of the instruments. These estimates are subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumption could significantly affect the estimates.

There are three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

  • Level 1: Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
  • Level 3: Values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Company's cash is considered to be Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument-related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management process, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is summarized as follows:

Foreign exchange risk

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity and equity prices. The Company does not have a practice of trading derivatives.

Credit risk

The Company's cash is held in a large Canadian financial institution. The Company has not experienced nor is exposed to any significant credit losses. As a result, the Company's exposure to credit risk is minimal.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As the Company has no interest-bearing assets or liabilities, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis.

The Company aims to have sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from its ability to raise equity capital or borrowing sufficient funds and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents.

Price risk

The ability of the Company to explore its mineral property and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market price of precious metals. The Company monitors precious metals prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Environmental & remediation risk

Management is not aware of and does not anticipate any significant environmental exposure or risk of remediation costs or liabilities as it does not currently have any active mineral exploration operations.

RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES

Core Business

The Company's business is in the mining and exploration sector with no active operations. Significant capital investment, geological and mining personnel, management, and consultants will be required for the development of any potential mining and exploration project.

There is no certainty that any expenditures to be made by the Company as described herein will result in successful mining and exploration. There is aggressive competition within the mineral exploration and development sector with larger exploration companies developing related technology internally. As such, significant capital investment is required along with extensive other resources to develop any potential mineral claims and future mining operations, if attainable. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in obtaining required capital on acceptable terms to reach its business objectives.

Some risks the Company may be exposed to include, but are not limited to, the following:

Conflicts of Interest

The Company's directors and officers also serve as directors and/or officers in other private and public companies involved in other business ventures. Consequently, there exists the possibility for these individualsto be in a position of conflict. Any decision made by these individualsinvolving the Company will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with the Company and such other companies. As such, these individuals would refrain from voting on the conflicted matter and would be forced to forego potential business or conduct such businessin conflict.

Negative Operating Cash Flows

As the Company is in the early development stage, it will continue to have negative operating cash flows without the development of revenue streams from its business. Positive operating cash flows require the Company to complete successful mineral exploration to first identify viable exploration targets through seismic, geographic surveying, drilling, sampling, assays, 43-101 technical report and mining operations, none of which can be assured.

Going Concern Risk

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is uncertain and dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, obtain additional capital and receive continued support from its shareholders. Management of the Company will have to raise capital through private placements or debt financing and proposes to continue to do so through future private placements and offerings. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.

Operating History and Expected Losses

The Company expects to make significant investments in order to develop its services, increase marketing efforts, improve its operations, and conduct research and development. As a result, start-up operating losses are expected, and such losses may be greater than anticipated, which could have a significant effect on the long-term viability of the Company.

Reliance on Joint Ventures, Partnerships, or Minority Interests

The nature of the Company's operations may require it to enter into various agreements with partners, joint venture partners, or minority interests in mineral and exploration projects.

There is no guarantee that those with whom the Company needsto deal will be successful in these joint or participating interests for mining and exploration.

Uninsured Risks

The Company may carry insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers adequate. Risks not insured against include key person insurance as the Company heavily relies on the Company directors and officers.

Growth Management

In executing the Company's business plan for the future, there will be significant pressure on management, operations, technical, and other assets, or resources. The Company anticipates that its operating and personnel costs will increase substantially in the future when and if it is able to commence commercial operations. In order to manage its growth, the Company will have to substantially increase consultants, geological personnel, engineers, technical, human resources, and executive and administration staff to run its operations, while at the same time efficiently maintaining a large number of relationships with third parties. The Company will also have to acquire, lease, or rent a substantial amount of mining and extraction equipment. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet these growth objectives.

Reliance on Key Personnel, Service Provider and Advisors

The Company relies heavily on its officers and directors, along with key service providers, business advisors and consultants. The loss of their services would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company. There can be no assurance that directors and officers, or consultants engaged by the Company will continue to provide services in the employ of, or in a consulting capacity to, the Company or that they will not set up competing businesses or accept positions with competitors.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

In February 2022, Russian commenced a military invasion of Ukraine which generated a response in the form of strict economic sanctions from multiple countries and corporations around the world, including Canada. Although the Company does not have operations in Russia or Ukraine, the global impact of this conflict in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, supply chain challenges and increased fuel prices may have adverse impacts on our costs of doing business.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The information provided in this report as referenced from the Company's condensed interim financial statements for the referenced reporting period is the sole responsibility of management. In the preparation of the information along with related and accompanying statements and estimates contained herein, management uses careful judgement in assessing the values (or future values) of certain assets or liabilities. It is the opinion of management that such estimates are fair and accurate as presented.
