LOVITT RESOURCES INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the six months ended December 31, 2020
OVERALL PERFORMANCE
Nature of Business
Lovitt Resources Inc. (the “Company”, or “Lovitt Resources”) owns a WA State subsidiary, Lovitt Mining Corporation, Inc. (“Lovitt Mining”). Lovitt Mining has a wholly owned subsidiary, Gold King Inc. (a WA State corporation). Gold King owns the mineral rights of the Company in WA State, including the past producing Lovitt Gold Mine. The Company’s principal business activity is the sourcing and exploration of mineral properties. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “LRC.H”.
Lovitt Mining assets in Wenatchee, Washington State, consist of over 250 acres of real estate, mineral rights to over 670 acres, water rights, extensive gold and silver mine workings with engineered maps and drawings, and a Wenatchee Gold Belt database covering substantial activity and development over the past 60 years. Current access to the Lovitt Gold Mine is thru a portal on the 1250 level and the Company has extensively sampled these workings with approximately seven miles of tunnels on seven levels of over 750 vertical feet .
The NI 43-101 report, dated April 23, 2020 and prepared by James F. Ebisch, SME Registered Member and R. Perry MacKinnon, P.Geo, both qualified persons, is available on SEDAR or at http://www.lovittresources.com.
The Lovitt Gold Mine suspended operations in 1966, due to an adverse economic climate of rising inflation and a fixed gold price of $37.00 per oz. During the fifties and sixties, the mine was one of the top producing underground gold mines in the USA. The Wenatchee area is highly prospective for gold, as illustrated by the fact that the adjoining Cannon Mine was the 1[st] or 2[nd] largest underground gold mine in the USA during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, when it produced 1.1 million ounces of gold. The Lovitt Mine produced over 410,000 ounces of gold and over 624,000 ounces of silver between 1950 and 1967, with a crew of about 20 compared in comparison to the 180 employees of the Cannon Mine.
A major asset of the Company is the archives of Lovitt Mining, which contain daily operational logs, engineering drawings, exploration and ore assay logs, and numerous reports commissioned over the production years.
The Company, at this time, does not generate revenues from operations so it relies on the sale of surplus land, related party financing and third party public financing. In order to minimize share dilution, the Company sold surplus land, buildings and equipment for working capital since its last public financing in 2014. The Company closed a financing in August 2020 to pay for a diamond drill program with expectations that the results might attract a senior mining company as a joint venture partner. In July 2019, 3.13 acres of land was sold for gross proceeds of $69,000.
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $13,045 (June 30, 2020 - $151), an accumulated deficit of $6,351,969 (June 30, 2020 - $6,218,302) and working capital deficiency of $1,826,645 (December 31, 2019 - $1,696,316).
Industry and Economic Factors that May Affect the Company’s Performance
With all mining operations there is uncertainty and, therefore, risk associated with operating parameters and costs resulting from the scaling up of extraction methods tested in pilot conditions. Mineral exploration is speculative in nature and there can be no assurance that any minerals discovered will result in an increase in the Company’s resource base.
In particular, the Company does not generate operating revenue, and as a result, the Company continues to be dependent on third party financing and the sale of surplus land to continue exploration and drilling. Accordingly, the Company’s future performance will be most affected by its access to financing, whether debt, equity or other means. Access to such financing, in turn, is affected by general economic conditions, exploration risks and the other factors described in the section entitled "risk factors" included below.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of a strain of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which has resulted in a series of public health and emergency measures that have been

put in place to combat the spread of the virus. The duration and impact of COVID 19 is unknown at this time and it is not possible to reliably estimate the impact that the length and severity of these developments will have on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

LOVITT RESOURCES INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the six months ended December 31, 2020
Result of Operations
Accounting and Audit Fees
The accounting and audit fees were significantly lower for the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. This was due to the extra work that was required by the auditors and a consultant to complete the filing of the overdue financial statements. An accounting accrual was captured for the year ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, however the work ended up being considerably more than anticipated. The Company completed the overdue filings back in August 2019 and continues to complete the necessary filings on time.
Interest on Demand Loans
Interest continues to increase period over period due to the increase in loans from related parties.
Legal Fees
The legal fees were minimal for the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 which included legal fees for annual meeting filing as well as work to file the financial statements that were due.
Transfer Agent, Filing and Regulatory Fees
The fees are lower for the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. Last year, the Company incurred significant late filing fees for the late financial statements.
Gain on Sale of Land
Sale of assets were higher in 2019 in comparison to 2020 when the generation of land for sale became delayed due to competition for surveyor time. The Company completed a sale of land in the second quarter for gross proceeds of $ 69,000.
Summary of Quarterly Results

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| Revenue | Nil | Nil | Nil | Nil | Nil | 66,354 | Nil | 80,215 |

| Comprehensive income (Loss) | (70,329) | (63,338) | (86,786) | (41,744) | (97,009) | (1,274) | (53,528) | 49,738 |
| Earnings (Loss) per share | (0.01) | (0.01) | (0.03) | (0.00) | (0.01) | (0.00) | (0.01) | 0.01 |
Land sales were slow for three quarters up to the quarter ending March ’19 when two real estate transactions produced a profit. In July ’19, 3.13 acres of land was sold to produce $66,354 of gain on sale. The annual loss per quarter up to this point was consistent reflecting the tight control of company expenses.
LIQUIDITY
The company has three distinct asset areas from which to derive liquidity:
-
Real Estate sales
-
Revenue from potential mineral production, subject to time to permit.
-
Borrow funds, or issue shares in a private placement or public offering.
The Company has experienced a working capital deficit for several years since the Company chose to divest assets to pay expenses rather than dilute through equity in a bad market. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,826,645 compared to $1,827,124 at June 30, 2020. In both cases, the working capital deficit reflects the fact that previously long-term debt became due. It is expected that this debt will be converted into equity, convertible bonds, preferred shares or land asset swap in future years. During the six
4
LOVITT RESOURCES INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the six months ended December 31, 2020
months ended December 31, 2020, accounts payable decreased by $ 39,500, from $ 53,181 at June 30, 2020 to $ 13,681 at December 31, 2020. The Company completed a private placement in August 2020 in order to initiate a major underground sampling program on the Lovitt Mine, concurrent with an above ground diamond drill exploration program once permits are issued. The objective is to define proven and probable gold reserves using a base of existing multiple drill holes from previous operators.
The exploration budget to conduct underground exploration and a robust diamond drill program would cost in the neighborhood of $500,000. The Company is investigating various financing avenues to raise funds to further finance the program.
Management believes that long term debt is adequately covered by assets, since its substantial real estate portfolio is carried on the balance sheet at circa 1950 prices.
The Company is dependent upon asset sales, borrowing, or financing in the venture capital markets to maintain liquidity.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
It should be noted that Lovitt Mining, the wholly owned subsidiary of Lovitt Resources, owns about 250 acres of land on the city limits of Wenatchee, WA acquired in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Current land valuations are substantially higher than the book value of these assets. The land value appreciation from the purchase price in the 1950’s of around $50 per acre is not reflected in the balance sheet.
The company holds a substantial mineral interest in the area surrounding the Lovitt Mine, with the most important a 100% of the mineral interest in 200 acres including the patented claims of the Lovitt Mine. Lovitt Mining was incorporated as a “for profit” gold mining company in Washington State in 1949, and before suspending operations in 1967, the company produced 410,480 ounces of gold and 625,850 ounces of silver. The company reactivated its interest in its mineral assets when gold hit all-time at prices in excess of US $1,900 per ounce in 2011. The company had written most of its mineral asset off in 2003 in accordance with accounting convention since no expenditure had been made on the Lovitt mineral properties for several years. The write off was approximately $ 2,000,000 and Directors of the Company believe that the current market value of the mineral interest is considerably in excess of $680,992 (June 30, 2020 - $615,811) stated in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.
Land was sold over the past decade at $25,000 to $69,000 per acre to raise capital and some surplus equipment was sold as well.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As at December 31, 2020, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements to which the Company was committed.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical Judgments and Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
A detailed summary of the Company’s critical accounting estimates and sources of estimation is included in Note 2 to the June 30, 2020 audited annual consolidated financial statements.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
New standards and interpretations adopted
The Company adopted IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”) as of April 1, 2019. The standard specifies an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption as the Company does not have applicable leases.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, note receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued interest payable, note payable and demand loans.
Financial risk management
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
6
LOVITT RESOURCES INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the six months ended December 31, 2020
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfil its payment obligations. Cash, and notes receivable are exposed to credit risk due to the potential for counterparties to default on their contractual obligations. The maximum potential loss on all financial instruments is equal to the carrying amount of those items. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with major financial institutions and dealing with credit worthy parties.
Liquidity risk
The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash, in addition to listing assets that it can sell. The Company intends also to raise additional financing through the issuance of capital and its ability to do so is dependent on a number of factors including market acceptance, stock price and exploration results. See Notes to the audited financial statements. All of the Company’s financial liabilities are classified as current and are anticipated to mature within the next fiscal period.
Interest rate risk
Note payable and demand loans bear interest at fixed rates, or do not bear interest, and therefore do not expose the Company to interest rate cash flow risk.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company is subject to foreign exchange rate risk as the Company incurs transactions and has assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars, whereas the parent and subsidiaries’ functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The fluctuation of the US Dollar in relation to the Canadian Dollar will have an impact upon the profitability of the Company and the value of the Company’s assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks.
Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company’s portfolio of properties has exposure to predominantly gold. The price of this commodity will affect the value of the Company and the potential value of its properties.
CAPITAL
The Company had 11,048,963 common shares outstanding at December 31, 2020.
On August 4, 2020, the Company issued a total of 1,724,012 common shares for gross proceeds of $193,869. The Company issued 1,724,012 warrants in connection with the private placement. The warrants were at a price of $0.25 and expired on February 4, 2021.
Also, at December 31, 2020, the Company had 75,160 non-cumulative preferred shares outstanding. The shares have face value of $10 each and 5% annual annual coupon rate. The Company recognizes transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of capital as share issuance costs which are netted against gross proceeds from related transactions rather than being expressed as incurred.
RISK FACTORS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and, if warranted, developing and exploiting natural resource properties, currently in Canada and the United States. Due to the nature of the Company’s business and the present stage of exploration of its mineral properties, many risk factors will apply. The risks described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks not presently known to the Company may also impair the business operations.
7
LOVITT RESOURCES INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the six months ended December 31, 2020
Going Concern and Financing Risks
The Company has limited financial resources, has no source of operating cash flow and has no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of land and the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that it 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 delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its projects.
General Economic Conditions
The recent events in global financial markets have had a profound impact on the global economy. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates, and tax rates may adversely affect the Company’s growth and profitability. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Share Price Volatility
There can be no assurance that an active trading market in our securities will be established and sustained. The market price for our securities could be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors such as commodity prices, government regulation, interest rates, share price movements of our peer companies and competitors, as well as overall market movements, may have a significant impact on the market price of the securities of our Company. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, particularly in the mining sector, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.
Dependence on Others and Key Personnel
The success of the Company’s operations will depend upon numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including (i) the ability to design and carry out appropriate exploration programs on its mineral properties; (ii) the ability to produce minerals from any mineral deposits that may be located; (iii) the ability to attract and retain additional key personnel in exploration, marketing, mine development and finance; and (iv) the ability and the operating resources to develop and maintain the properties held by the Company. There can be no assurance of success with any or all of these factors on which the Company’s operations will depend, or that the Company will be successful in finding and retaining the necessary employees, personnel and/or consultants in order to be able to successfully carry out such activities.
Government Regulation
The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to prospecting, development, production, environmental protection, mining taxes, labor standards, property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company.
Competition
The Company’s business of the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties is intensely competitive. The Company may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring additional mining properties because it must compete with other individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than the Company. Increased competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.

LOVITT RESOURCES INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the six months ended December 31, 2020
Fluctuation of Metal Prices
Even if commercial quantities of mineral deposits are discovered by the Company, there is no guarantee that a profitable market will exist for the sale of the metals produced. There can be no assurance that the price of any commodities will be such that any of the properties in which the Company has, or has the right to acquire, an interest may be mined at a profit.
Title Matters
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to the mineral properties in which it has or has a right to acquire an interest in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee title (whether of the Company or of any underlying vendor(s) from whom the Company may be acquiring its interest). Title to mineral properties may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and may also be affected by undetected defects or the rights of indigenous peoples. Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties for which titles have been issued are in good standing.
Uncertainty of Resource Estimates/Reserve
Unless otherwise indicated, mineralization figures presented in the Company’s filings with securities regulatory authorities, press releases and other public statements that may be made from time to time are based upon estimates made by Company personnel and independent geologists. These estimates are imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable.
Speculative Business
Resource exploration and development is a speculative business and involves a high degree of risk, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in size to return a profit from production. The marketability of natural resources that may be acquired or discovered by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. There is no known resource, and there are no known reserves, on any of the Company’s properties.
Permits and Licenses
The operations of the Company will require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out its projects, on reasonable terms or at all.
