Notes on Material Quarterly Variations:

December 31, 2020 – reported net income compared to recurring quarterly losses due to over accrual over certain operating costs during the year.

September 30, 2021 – reported an increased net loss due to legal fees in the quarter that were incurred in connection with a proposed transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has no operating revenues and finances its operations principally through the issuance of common shares. As at September 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $413,239 compared to $273,473 as at December 31, 2021. The decline in working capital is a consequence of normal operating costs.

The Company may continue to have capital requirements in excess of its currently available resources. In the event the Company’s plans change, its assumptions change or prove inaccurate, or its capital resources in addition to any projected cash flow, if any, prove to be insufficient to fund operations, the Company may be required to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient financing to meet its future capital requirements or that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company in the future.

Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and due to related party. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency, or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties. These activities involve a high degree of risk which, even with a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation, may not be overcome. Consequently, no assurance can be given that commercial quantities of minerals will be successfully found or produced.

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 common risks to new and developing 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 positive return on shareholders’ investment.

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 securities, 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 favourable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its properties.

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.

The Company competes with other junior mineral exploration companies, some of which have greater financial resources and technical facilities. The business of mineral exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risks and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into production. In addition to specific risks disclosed throughout this discussion, other risks facing the Company include reliance on third parties, environmental and insurance risks, statutory and regulatory requirements, metal prices and foreign currency fluctuations, share price volatility and title risks.

Commitments

As at September 30, 2022, the Company had no commitments.
