MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Year Ended November 30, 2024

Highlights:

  • Mobilization of the discovery drill program at Ulu and Roma Projects occurred in May
  • Gold focus, with a component of the program dedicated to discovery of critical mineral deposits
  • Priority targets were drilled based on potential for discovery, scale, and proximity to existing resources, including:
  • Evaluation of higher-grade, larger targets within and near the Flood deposit
  • Initial drill test of the 2023 Mikigon surface discovery, a new style of mineralization at Ulu
  • Testing mineralized structures and targets in the trend that hosts the Gnu deposit
  • Other high-potential targets were evaluated (both gold and critical minerals)

  • 16 diamond drill holes for ~4,000 metres across five main target areas were completed, including: HI (Ataani), Mikigon, Penthouse, Gnu Zone (Nutaaq), and the Flood Zone

  • The targeted Flood Zone structure returned 3.66 metres of 8.46 g/t Au including 1.00 metre of 15.25 g/t Au. In addition, the Flood Zone mineralization was extended with drillhole intercepts of 9.61 metres of 1.83 g/t Au including 1.36 metres of 3.66 g/t Au, and 3.22 metres of 7.52 g/t Au including 2.01 metres of 10.38 g/t Au in a 30-metre step-out from the existing resource model
  • At the Mikigon target, drilling indicated a pathfinder halo for the system that includes 1+ g/t Au intervals associated with quartz veining, arsenopyrite and elevated bismuth and tellurium values
  • Results from drill holes testing both the Nutaaq veins and the inaugural test of the Zebra prospect include: Nutaaq veins returned 17.3 metres of 2.60 g/t Au including 1.0 metre of 23.5 g/t Au, and 6.6 metres of 2.63 g/t; Zebra prospect returned encouraging results of 3.6 metres of 1.73 g/t Au including 2.9 metres grading 2.01 g/t
  • The inaugural critical minerals component of the drill program included 1,365 metres of drilling at the Ataani discovery (Roma, HI property)
  • A program of Fixed Loop Electromagnetic ("EM") surveying outlined a 320 metre by 100 metre EM plate representing a zone of strong conductivity located 180 metres below surface
  • Five holes for 1,365 metres were undertaken
  • Hole 1: intersected 17.1 metres of 0.973% copper equivalent (CuEq*) from a zone of stringer to massive sulphides
  • Hole 2: targeted ~45 metres below the 17.1 metre sulphide intercept in the first hole and intersected a 37.25 metre zone of stringer to massive sulphide mineralisation. A 26.9 metre stringer to massive sulphide section returned 0.576% CuEq, including a 7.2 metre zone grading 1.145% CuEq
  • Hole 3: was drilled ~50 metres down dip of the 37.25 metre mineralized zone intersected in the second hole, and intersected a 1.7 metre mineralized zone grading 0.880% CuEq
  • Two additional drill holes, totalling 492 metres, tested the ground along strike 110 metres to the south and 110 metres to the north of the reported drill holes, confirming the massive sulphide mineralization occurs over ~300 metres of strike length. Both holes intersected the mineralized zone, with one hole

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Year Ended November 30, 2024

Supplementing the high-grade gold resources, the Ulu project includes a substantial inventory of capital equipment, a Weatherhaven camp with shop and a 1,200-metre-long airstrip. The site of the future deep-water port at Gray's Bay is 100 km to the north of the properties, and the proposed route corridor for the all-weather Gray's Bay Road passes in close proximity to the Ulu Property.

The updated Ulu Gold Project mineral resource estimate (MRE), with an effective date of February 8, 2023, was estimated by independent consultants, and is reported in the table below. The Flood Zone contains the bulk of the gold resource and is open for expansion. The deepest significant drill intersection is 14.9 g/t Au over 7.7 metres in BHP's drill hole 90VD-75, at 610 m below surface. In addition to the Flood Zone, inferred mineral resources have been defined at two satellite zones (NFN Zone and Gnu Zone). Preliminary metallurgical testing indicates that all three Zones in the MRE can conceptually be co-mingled with +90% gold recovery by gravity, flotation, and cyanidation.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Year Ended November 30, 2024

  • Mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. There has been insufficient exploration to define inferred resources above as indicated or measured mineral resources however, it is reasonably expected that the majority of the inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued exploration. There is no guarantee that all or any part of a mineral resource can or will be converted into a mineral reserve. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.

  • The mineral resources in this estimate were calculated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council (CIM 2014 and 2019).

  • The MRE is underpinned by data from 544 on site diamond drill holes totalling 112,880m of drilling.

  • The MRE is reported at a cut off of 1.5 g/t Au for the conceptual open pit and 3.5 g/t Au for the conceptual underground extraction scenarios. The cut-off grades and potential mining scenarios were calculated using the following parameters; mining cost: $110.00/t UG and $4.13/t OP; G&A and site service costs: $44.20/t; processing cost: $36.3/t; recoveries 92%; gold price US$1750.00 per ounce; and minimum mining width of 2.0 metres in order to meet the requirement that the mineral resources show "reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction."

  • Original Au assays were composited to 1m with 4,231 composites generated in the mineralised domains including 3,934 composites generated for the Flood Zone, 81 composites for the NFN Zone and 154 composites for the Gnu (Nutaaq) Zone.

  • Grade interpolation was performed by ordinary kriging (OK) for the Flood Zone and inverse power of distance to the third power for all other zones. The informing data was composited to 1.0m for all zones except GNU, which used a 0.75m composite size.

  • High grade capping supported by statistical analysis was completed on composite data from each zone and was established at 41 g/t Au for the Flood Zone, 35 g/t for the Gnu(Nutaaq) Zone and 41 g/t Au for the NFN Zone.

  • All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. Metal content is presented in troy ounces (tonnes x grade (g/t) / 31.10348).

  • The Author is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political or marketing issues or any other relevant issue not reported in the technical report that could materially affect the MRE.

  • The effective date of the MRE is 08 February 2023.

  • For complete information relating to the MRE, please see the Company’s technical report entitled “Mineral Resources Estimate for the Ulu Gold Project, Nunavut, Canada” dated February 22, 2023 and filed on SEDAR. The Ulu Gold Project MRE is based on 544 diamond drill holes totalling 112,880 m spanning over thirty years to the present along and adjacent to the Ulu Fold Hinge (Figure 1). The MRE represents a significant adjustment in geological and mineralisation style understanding and confidence in the mineralisation modeling to a historic MRE published by a previous operator in 2015 by: modeling distinct high-grade zones with lower grade zones where they occur, and modeling two distinctive styles of mineralisation separately; addition of new assays from drilling campaigns in 2019

through 2022 totaling 88 drill holes for 15,391 m; and modeling portions of the mineral resources with a conceptual open pit mining scenario versus a solely underground extraction scenario.

Ulu Site Remediation Program:

Blue Star’s Ulu site is a legacy development and exploration site. In tandem with its exploration activities, Blue Star agreed to undertake progressive reclamation and return the site as close as possible to an exploration only site until a new development decision is made.

In 2020, Blue Star submitted an Interim Closure and Reclamation Plan (ICRP) to undertake progressive reclamation of the Ulu site to the Nunavut Water Board (NWB) & the Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KIA). This included creation and completion of a landfill, a soil treatment facility (STF), undertaking additional reclamation research for future final closure of the site (including roads, mine openings, constructed pads), relocation of the camp, initiation of baseline environmental studies, and conducting monitoring programs in accordance with water licence and land use licence terms and conditions.

Security is held by two regulators until the interim (final) closure is approved. Securities currently held to meet the needs within the ICRP total $2,435,542 allocated as follows: $943,835 is held by the KIA pursuant to a Land Use License and $1,685,542 is held by Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) in relation to the Ulu Water License issued by the NWB regarding reclamation liability of the mining license.

The Company continues to make progress and plans to update the ICRP in the coming months.

Hood River Property

The Hood River property surrounds the Ulu Mining Lease on all sides. The property is held through a renewable, 20-year Mineral Exploration Agreement (MEA) with Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI). The Company expanded the Hood River MEA with NTI to encompass 112 square kilometres in January 2022.

A series of gold occurrences occur on-strike and north of the Flood Zone and are thought to be related to the ~5 km long Ulu regional fold that extends from the Ulu Mining Lease onto the north Hood River property culminating at the NFN zone. This structure extends from the Flood and Gnu gold zones along the Ulu fold to the north and hosts at least five gold zones in addition to the Flood and Gnu Zones (NFN, INT, Bizen, Apex and Contact zones).

Numerous anomalous historical gold samples occur on Hood River property, many of which have received only limited follow up work. The landholding also includes diamond rights across the MEA which includes the known diamondiferous Tenacity pipe and numerous unsourced anomalous kimberlite indicator samples. All existing infrastructure in the region, including the airstrip, road network and quarries are now encompassed by the Ulu Gold Project.


BLUE STAR GOLD CORP.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Year Ended November 30, 2024

The primary exploration target for the property is shear-hosted gold mineralization similar to the Flood Zone on the adjacent Ulu Mining Lease. Several high-grade gold occurrences also occur on the east Hood River property, including the Crown and Penthouse zones, where gold trends with similarities to the Ulu fold trend may exist. The large number of high-grade gold showings that occur throughout the properties provide for excellent resource expansion potential at multiple targets.

Roma Project

The Company acquired a 100% interest in the Roma Property in February 2021. The Project lies approximately 30 km north of the Ulu and Hood River Properties and encompasses prospective and underexplored mineral claims within the High Lake Greenstone Belt.

The Company signed an MEA with NTI and staked additional mineral claims in January 2022 resulting in the continued consolidation of the Roma Project. Blue Star increased the Roma Project area by 89% to a total of 150 square kilometres (combined MEA ground and mineral claims).

Multiple significant gold showings are present on the Roma Project within a 6.5 km by 2.4 km area. Numerous high-grade gold showings and zones were discovered in the 1990's with little to no follow-up work conducted since that time, including grab samples up to 126 g/t gold and chip samples up to 24 g/t gold over 1.5 m. Limited shallow drilling (10 holes for 465 m) returned 12.38 g/t Au over 2.31 m and 8.69 g/t Au over 1.87 m. The geologic setting and style of gold mineralization at the Roma Project is similar to that found at the Company's Ulu Project, which is host to the high-grade Flood Zone gold deposit.

The Auma prospect is a recently acquired prospect that is now part of the Roma Project. A highlight grab sample from Zone 1 of the 614-hectare mineral claim property returned 47.6 g/t gold. Grab samples reported from previous exploration companies range up to 183.79 g/t gold (pers. comm. T.Toole, 2023). Drilling results reported by Zaremba and Takenaka in 1995 include drill hole 95HBD-02 which intercepted 2.60 metres of 15.3 g/t gold. Historical data compilation is underway.

Darren Lindsay, P.Geo., and VP Exploration of Blue Star Gold Corp., is a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in the Exploration and Evaluation Assets descriptions in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

7. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

As at November 30, 2024, the Company had $845,871 (2023 - $3,487,503) in cash. The Company is at the exploration stage and does not have cash flow from operations; therefore, equity or debt financings have been the sole source of funds. At November 30, 2024, the Company had working capital deficiency of $608,925 (2023 – working capital of $3,114,433) and an accumulated deficit of $50,804,323 (2023 – $43,060,578).

In the opinion of management, the working capital is insufficient to support the Company’s near term general administrative and corporate operating requirements on an on-going basis. In order to fund mineral property expenses and fund administrative costs, further financings will be required, and the Company is likely to raise such funds from the issuance of equity.

The Company had the following debt and equity financing activities during the years ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent period:

Equity Financing – Closed in June 2024

In June 2024, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement by issuing 12,500,000 non-flow-through shares (each a “NFT Share”) and 6,812,500 flow-through share (each a “FT Share”) at a price of $0.16 per share for total gross proceeds of $3,090,000.

Equity Financing – Closed on December 13, 2023

On December 13, 2023, the Company closed the final tranche of a non-brokered private placement by issuing 1,131,250 flow-through share shares (each a “FT Share”) at a price of $0.40 per FT Share, raising total gross proceeds of $452,500.

Equity Financing – Closed on November 3 and 22, 2023

BLUE STAR GOLD CORP.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Year Ended November 30, 2024

In November 2023, the Company closed the first and second tranches of a non-brokered private placement by issuing 8,375,000 flow-through share shares (each a “FT Share”) at a price of $0.40 per FT Share, raising total gross proceeds of $3,350,000.

Equity Financing – Closed on July 20, 2023

On July 20, 2023, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement by issuing 700,000 flow-through share units (each a “FT Unit”) at a price of $0.42 per FT Unit, and 1,175,000 charitable flow-through share units (each, a “Charitable FT Unit”) at a price of $0.49 per Charitable FT Unit raising total gross proceeds of $869,750. Each FT Unit and each Charitable FT Unit consists of one flow-through share and one-half of one transferable common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable at $0.50 per share till July 20, 2025. A total of 937,500 warrants were issued at the closing of the private placement.

Equity Financing – Closed on May 25, 2023

On May 25, 2023, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement by issuing 6,250,000 share units (each a “Unit”) at $0.40 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2,500,000. Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one transferable common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable at $0.50 per share till May 25, 2025.

Liquidity Outlook

At present, the Company’s operations do not generate cash inflows and its cash position is highly dependent on the ability to raise cash through financings and the timing of expenditures on exploration programs. In order to finance the Company’s evaluation and exploration programs and to cover administrative and other expenses, the Company raises money through equity sales, from the exercise of convertible securities and from optioning its exploration and evaluation assets. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the resource market, the climate for mineral exploration investment, the Company’s track record, and the experience and calibre of its management. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of exploration activities.

Additional funds will be required to fulfil obligations under option agreements and cover general administrative and corporate operating requirements. Given volatility in equity markets, global uncertainty in economic conditions, cost pressures and results of exploration activities there can be no certainty equity funding will be available to the Company or if available funding will be on acceptable terms. Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required but recognizes that there will be risks which may be beyond its control.

Capital Resources

The Company does not have sufficient capital at this time to fulfil its obligations under the current property agreements or to meet its administrative overhead expenses for the next twelve months and does not have any alternative funding arrangements in place. If the Company is unable to raise


BLUE STAR GOLD CORP.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Year Ended November 30, 2024

required capital it will not fulfil obligations under one or more of the property agreements or continue to operate at its current level of activity.

Going Concern

The Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Several material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to incur operating losses, has limited financial resources, no source of operating cash flow, and no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to conduct further exploration and development of its exploration and evaluation asset projects. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the financing necessary to continue evaluating its mineral projects by the issuance of share capital or through joint ventures, and to realize future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of its exploration and evaluation assets. As at November 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $50,810,350 and had working capital of $332,201. In the opinion of management, current the working capital is insufficient to support the Company's general administrative and corporate operating requirements on an ongoing basis for the next 12 months. Until additional funds are secured, the Company does not have resources to fund further exploration expenditures. Management plans to secure the necessary financing through the issuance of new equity instruments and/or entering into joint venture arrangements. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in these actions.

If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for the Financial Statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets, liabilities, reported income and expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used. Such adjustments could be material to the Financial Statements.

8. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Related Risks

Liquidity Risk - Liquidity risk is the risk the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The Company attempts to manage liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term obligations. As at November 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $845,871 (November 30, 2023 - $3,487,503, December 1, 2022 - $1,055,101) to settle current liabilities of $1,737,365 (November 30, 2023 - $452,688, December 1, 2022 - $2,616,263).

Interest rate risk – The Company has no significant exposure at November 30, 2024 to interest rate risk through its financial instruments. The Company has a loan payable with fixed interest rate at 3% per annum.

Currency Risk - As at November 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was held in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional and reporting currency. The majority of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars. Loan payable and lease liabilities outstanding as at November 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are denominated in Canadian dollars. Currency risk is not significant.

Credit risk - Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash and cash equivalent, as substantially all amounts are held at major financial institutions. The credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalent is minimized by ensuring that these financial assets are placed with financial institutions with investment-grade ratings by a primary ratings agency.

Finance Risk - The Company has no source of operating cash flow and no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects when required. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity and debt securities or joint ventures, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Company’s properties.

10. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company’s business is the exploration and development of mineral properties. As a result, the Company’s operations are speculative. The Company has no history of profitable operations and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources, and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company 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.

Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, receipt of adequate financing; correct interpretation of geological data; feasibility and

other studies; the particular nature of the mineral deposit, such as size grade, metallurgy and physical structure; expected and real metal recoveries; proximity to infrastructure and labour; the cost of water and power; climactic conditions; metal prices; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and metal prices; timely granting of necessary permits; government regulations and taxes; and environmental protection and regulations. The effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted, but in combination these risk factors may adversely affect the Company’s business.

The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not inclusive of all risks and uncertainties to which the Company may be subject. Furthermore, the Company may face additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company and its management or risks currently seen as immaterial may impair the Company’s business in the future.

Early Stage - Need for Additional Funds - The Company has no history of profitable operations and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources, and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company 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.

Location - The Company’s property interests are located in remote, undeveloped areas and the availability of infrastructure such as surface access, skilled labour, fuel, and power at an economic cost, cannot be assured. These are integral requirements for exploration, development and production facilities on exploration and evaluation assets.

Exploration and Development Risks - Resource property acquisition, exploration, development, and operation are a highly speculative business that involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of precious metals and other minerals may result in substantial rewards, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to locate and establish economically viable mineral deposits, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the acquisition, exploration or development programs planned by the Company will result in a profitable commercial mining operation. The potential for any project to eventually become an economically viable operation depends on numerous factors including: the quantity and quality of the minerals discovered if any, the proximity to infrastructure, metal, and mineral prices (which vary considerably over time) and government regulations. The exact effect these factors can have on any given exploration property cannot accurately be predicted but the effect can be materially adverse.

Environmental Risk - Current or future environmental laws and regulations may affect the operations of the Company. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality. They provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to rehabilitate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. Furthermore, the permission to operate could be withdrawn temporarily where there is evidence of serious breaches of health and safety, or even permanently in the case of extreme breaches. Significant

liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damages caused by previous owners of acquired properties or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations. The Company intends to minimize these risks by taking steps to ensure compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and operating to international environmental standards.

Commodity Prices - The market price of precious metals and other minerals is volatile and cannot be controlled.

Conflicts - The Company’s directors and officers serve as directors or officers or may be associated with other reporting companies or have significant shareholdings in other public companies. To the extent that such other companies may participate in business or asset acquisitions, dispositions, or ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors and officers of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the transaction.

Dependence on Key Personnel - The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management's services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the Company.

Competition - The mineral industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes with many other mineral exploration companies who have greater financial resources and technical capacity.

Political Risk - The Company’s operations and investments may be affected by local political and economic developments including: expropriation; nationalization; invalidation of governmental orders; permits or agreements pertaining to property rights; failure to enforce existing laws; failure to uphold property rights; political unrest; labour disputes; inability to obtain or delays in obtaining necessary mining permits; opposition to mining from local, environmental or other non-governmental organizations; government participation; royalties, duties, rates of exchange, high rates of inflation, price controls, exchange controls, currency fluctuations; taxation and changes in laws, regulations or policies; as well as by laws and policies of Canada affecting foreign trade, investment and taxation.

11. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Settlement of litigation

On June 13, 2022, Stephen Wilkinson (the “Plaintiff”), the former CEO of the Company, filed a Notice of Civil Claim at the Supreme Court of BC to claim wrongful dismissal and breach of contract. The Plaintiff requested for compensation of 24 months of salary, bonus and other

additional loss and damages. The Company has engaged legal counsel to defend itself against the claim.

On December 6, 2024, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Plaintiff, according to which, the Company will pay a settlement fund of $215,000 to the Plaintiff and $135,000 to his lawyer.

As of November 30, 2024, the Company accrued a total of $350,000 (November 30, 2023 - $168,000, December 1, 2022 - $168,000) in relation to the settlement.

13. COMMITMENTS AND LITIGATION

None.

14. DISCLOSURE OF OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares without par value. The table below presents the Company’s common share data as of the date of this report:

Number of securities
Common shares 103,766,753
Stock options 6,190,000
Warrants 5,142,500

The purchase of the Company’s securities involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks. The Company’s securities should not be purchased by persons who cannot afford the possibility of the loss of their entire investment. Furthermore, an investment in the Company’s securities should not constitute a major portion of an investor's portfolio.

15. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective September 1, 2024, the Company changed its accounting policy related to exploration costs. Previously, the Company capitalized its exploration costs on an individual prospect basis until such time as an economic ore body was defined or the prospect was abandoned. The Company will continue to capitalize all direct costs related to the acquisition of a mineral property interest upon acquiring the legal right to explore the property; however, exploration costs incurred prior to the determination of the feasibility of mining operations and a decision to proceed with development will be charged to operations as incurred.

Accordingly, the Company also reclassified the advances to exploration service suppliers at year end from long-term deposit to short-term deposit.

19. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect management's expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, success of operations, environmental risks, permitting risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative of these terms or comparable terminology. By their very nature forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks related to actual results of current exploration activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of resources; possible variations in mineral resources, grade or recovery rates; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; as well as those factors detailed from time to time in the Company's interim and annual financial statements which are filed and available for review on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events, or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
