MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Year Ended April 30, 2020

Introduction

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is a review of the operations, current financial position and outlook for Alchemist Mining Inc. (the “Company”). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended April 30, 2020, available through the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian Dollar, unless otherwise stated. This Management Discussion and Analysis is dated October 16, 2020.

The Company was incorporated as NY85 Capital Inc. under the Business Corporations Act on October 22, 2010 in the Province of British Columbia. On May 31, 2012, the Company completed its Qualifying Transaction (“QT”) and received the Final Exchange Bulletin from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V”). On October 1, 2012, the shareholders of the Company approved the name change from NY85 Capital Inc. to Alchemist Mining Inc. at the Annual General and Special Meeting of the Company. On August 20, 2014, the Company de-listed from the TSX-V and commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). The common shares of the Company are listed for trading on the CSE under the symbol AMS. The Company is currently cease traded having failed to file its financial statements by the due date of August 28, 2020.

The registered office and records of the Company are located at 6[th] Floor, 905 West Pender Street, Vancouver. B.C. V6C 1L6. The Company’s main contact is its CEO, Mr. Paul Mann. The Company’s phone number is (844) 420 2254.

The Company has been operating in a single business segment focusing on mineral exploration in Canada. The Company is transitioning to a technology developer and provider initially targeting the Cannabis sector and a vertically integrated cannabis enterprise and is waiting for approval of their change in business by the CSE. To date, the Company has not generated any revenue and has met its cash requirements primarily through share issuances. Until the Company attains profitability, it will be necessary to raise additional financings for general working capital and for exploration costs on its property. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the future success of the business could be adversely affected. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company.

The Company expects to use its available working capital, for general working capital, including complementary acquisitions. The Company’s objectives are to evaluate other opportunities to build shareholder value.

Overall Performance

On December 3rd, 2018, the Company announced the signing of a Strategic Partnership Agreement with AguaTechnologies. Under the terms of the agreement, Alchemist and Agua will deploy the Aqua suite of software and hardware products to cannabis operators throughout the United States. Both companies will continue to explore other opportunities to further expand the strategic partnership and enhance the user experiences for all users. The strategic partnership agreement will see the two companies share revenue on a 50/50 basis from the “net” proceeds generated from all clients contracted under the agreement. This agreement has expired.

Financial and Other Instruments

Financial instruments are agreements between two parties that result in promises to pay or receive cash or equity instruments. The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows: cash is classified as financial assets at FVTPL; and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their short term to maturity.

Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3: Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

  • Credit risk;

  • Liquidity risk; and

  • Market risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash, by placing cash at major Canadian financial institutions. The Company has minimal credit 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’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquid funds to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The contractual financial liabilities of the Company as of April 30, 2020 equal $566,339 (April 30, 2019 - $141,979). All of the liabilities presented as accounts payable are due within 90 days of April 30, 2020.

ALCHEMIST MINING INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Year Ended April 30, 2020

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on capital.

As at April 30, 2020, the Company is not exposed to significant market risk.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates made in the preparation of these financial statements include the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, accrued liabilities, assumptions for the determination of fair value of share-based payments, and for the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Management believes the estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with Exemption Orders issued in November 2007 by each of the securities commissions across Canada, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company will file a Venture Issuer Basic Certificate with respect to the financial information contained in the unaudited interim financial statements and the audited annual financial statements and respective accompanying MD&A.

In contrast to the certificate under National Instrument (“NI”) 52-109 (Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings), the Venture Issuer Basic Certification includes a ‘Note to Reader’ stating that the CEO and CFO do not make any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financing reporting, as defined in MI 52-109.

Accounting Standards, Amendments and Interpretations not yet Effective

For details of the Company’s Future Accounting Standards, including accounting standards not yet adopted, new accounting standards adopted, and accounting standards amended but not yet effective, please refer to Note 4 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company did not enter into any off-balance sheet arrangements as at April 30, 2020 or as of the date of this report.

ALCHEMIST MINING INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Year Ended April 30, 2020

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company believes that the following risks and uncertainties may materially affect its success.

Limited Operating History

The Company is a relatively new company with limited operating history and no history of business or mining operations, revenue generation or production history. The Company was incorporated on October 22, 2010 and has yet to generate a profit from its activities. The Company is subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including the risk that it will not achieve its growth objective. The Company anticipates that it may take several years to achieve positive cash flow from operations.

Global Uncertainty

The Company’s business could be adversely affected by the effects of health epidemics, including the global COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19 was reported in China. Since then, the COVID-19 has spread globally, to include Canada, the United States and several European countries. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a “pandemic,” or a worldwide spread of a new disease, on March 11, 2020. Many countries around the world, including Canada, have imposed quarantines and restrictions on travel and mass gatherings to slow the spread of the virus, and have closed non-essential businesses.

The spread of COVID-19, which has caused a broad impact globally, may materially affect the Company economically. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing the Company’s ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect the Company’s business and the value of the Company’s common shares

The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Company’s business, operations and clinical trials will depend on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in Canada and other countries, the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada, the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease and whether Canada and other countries are required to move to complete lock-down status. The ultimate long-term impact of COVID-19 is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.

Reliance on Management and Dependence on Key Personnel

The success of the Company will be largely dependent upon on the performance of the directors and officers and the ability to attract and retain key personnel. The loss of the services of these persons may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and prospects. The Company will compete with numerous other companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and contractors. There is no assurance that the Company can maintain the service of its directors and officers or other qualified personnel required to operate its business. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its prospects.
