Figure 1 . The Company’s silver properties consist of the Keno Silver project and McKay and Silver Hill projects located in central Yukon Territory of Canada. The Keno Silver project comprises the Keno-Lightning (which includes Homestake), Keno Summit, Gram, Keno-East, Cobalt Hill, Duncan Creek, Formo and Silver Queen properties.
KENO SILVER PROJECT
Metallic’s 100% owned Keno Silver project covers 166 square km (“km[2] ”) within the Keno Hill silver district located in Canada’s Yukon Territory. The Keno Silver project is a brownfields exploration project within one of the world’s highestgrade silver districts, which has produced over 220 Moz of high-grade silver over the past 100 years at an average grade exceeding 1,300 g/t. The Keno Silver project, which is located near the communities of Keno City and Mayo, has excellent existing infrastructure with highway and road access, grid power and access to existing deep sea ports. The Keno Silver project covers the eastern and central portions of the Keno Hill silver district along with select portions of the western and southern parts of the district. The Company’s holdings are along trend and down dip of most of the historically productive trends within the district. These areas of the district have been under-explored due to previously fragmented, private land ownership that has largely been consolidated by Metallic. The Keno Silver project directly

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021
adjoins Alexco Resource Corp.’s operations, including the Bellekeno, Bermingham, Flame & Moth and Lucky Queen deposits, which contain 74 million ozs of high-grade silver in current Measured & Indicated resources and an additional 24 million ozs in Inferred resources. Ten of the twelve known Keno-style high-grade silver structural trends occur on the Keno Silver project in areas underlain by the preferred host rocks within the district.
The Keno Silver project has seen shallow, historic production from eight deposits, including five with average grades above 5,000 g/t silver. Metallic has been compiling and integrating recent and historic geologic and geophysical data into its project database and modelling work. Exploration work has defined 3 high-grade advanced stage targets through drilling, trenching and underground sampling and has identified 12 priority multi-kilometer-scale early-stage exploration targets.
The Keno Silver project is made up of eight main properties across the 35-kilometer-long Keno Hill silver district comprising Keno-Lightning, Keno Summit, Gram, Keno East, Cobalt Hill, Duncan Creek, Formo and Silver Queen properties.
a) Keno-Lightning Property
The Keno-Lightning property, which includes Homestake, is the largest property within the Keno Silver project and is subject to a 3% NSR. The Company has the option to buy back up to 2% of this NSR.
b) Keno Summit Property
The Company owns 100% of 17 claims and five leases on the Keno Summit property. Nine claims are subject to the same NSR as the Gram property, seven claims and two leases are subject to the same NSR as the Silver Queen property, three leases are subject to the same NSR as the Formo property and one claim is not subject to an NSR.
c) Keno-East Property
The Company staked additional ground in the Keno-East target area, which covers the eastern and southern extension of the Keno Hill silver district. The Company owns 100% of these claims and are not subject to any NSR.

g) Formo Property
The Company owns 100% of 16 mining leases in the Keno Hill silver district. The Formo property is subject to a 2% NSR for precious metals and a 1% NSR for base metals. The Company has an option to buy back the full NSR.
h) Silver Queen Property
The Company owns 100% of the Silver Queen property which consists of 20 claims primarily on the western end of the Keno Hill silver district. The Silver Queen property is subject to a 2% NSR and the Company has the option to buy back the full NSR.
KENO SILVER PROJECT WORK PROGRAMS
The Company conducted its inaugural field exploration programs on its Keno Silver project beginning in 2017 following a comprehensive review of modern and historic data. Metallic identified more than 40 target areas in its review and prioritized 20 of these target areas for further evaluation including geophysical and geochemical surveys, geologic mapping, drilling and trenching to begin defining areas that have potential to host significant high-grade Keno-style silver mineralization.
Exploration in 2018 and 2019 continued to systematically build on the Company’s 3D geologic model for the district and included the on-going synthesis of exploration data covering the East, Central and Western portions of the Keno Hill silver district. This work included a combination of target refinement and advancement at the advanced stage targets located along the known historically productive trends both down dip and along strike from past producing mines, as well as target development in the underexplored eastern part of the district which features the same geologic setting as the more developed western part of the Keno Hill silver district.
Drilling, trenching and underground sampling has since defined 3 high-grade Keno-style silver targets along the known productive trends along with 6 additional areas at first phase drill stage in the West and Central Keno target areas. Earlier stage target refinement work in the less explored portions of the district included detailed stratigraphic mapping, broad reconnaissance soil sampling, and trenching focused on the Central and East Keno target areas. This work identified 12 new multi-kilometer-scale early-stage exploration targets for drill testing. Work on these very large-scale areas has confirmed the presence of high-grade Keno-style structures with geophysics suggesting potential for larger related magmatic driven systems.
Exploration in 2020 included a multi-phase drill program with 2 drills on site beginning in August for a total of 5,318 m (17,500 ft) in 42 drill holes. The first phase of the program utilized a track-mounted reverse circulation drill to complete 30 drill holes within a number of the new multi-kilometer-scale anomalies discovered in 2019 at the East Keno and Central Keno target areas. These reconnaissance drill holes represent the first drill tests ever completed in the eastern part of the Keno Hill silver district with results confirming the presence of high-grade Keno-style mineralization and bulk-tonnage disseminated mineralization.
The second phase of the Keno Silver drill program included 12 diamond drill holes focused on expanding areas of known mineralization through step out drilling at the advanced-stage target areas in the West Keno area including the Formo and Silver Queen targets. Highlights of exploration results from underground channel samples at the

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021
Formo target area show three high-grade mineralized shoots grading more than 1,000 g/t Ag Eq that remain open to expansion. Grades from the main Formo deposit returned an average of 7,459 g/t Ag Eq over 45 m lateral width on the 2800 level, 33 m lateral width grading 1,795 Ag Eq on the 2700 level and 44 m lateral width grading 2,258 Ag Eq on the 2600 level with mineralization open to expansion.
Exploration in 2021 will focus on an expanded program of follow up core and reverse circulation drilling programs totaling over 10,000 meters on both the new East Keno discovery targets and the advanced stage West and Central Keno targets. Crews mobilized to the project in early June to begin drilling and geophysical surveys. A total of 123 drill holes have been completed to date on the Keno Silver project.
MCKAY AND SILVER HILL PROJECT
The Company owns a 100% interest in the McKay and Silver Hill properties with 55 km[2] of claims located approximately 50 kms north of the Keno Hill silver district in the Yukon Territory and show potential to host significant district-scale silver-gold-copper-lead-zinc mineralized systems similar to those at Keno Hill. McKay Hill is an historic high-grade silver and gold producer with significant copper, lead and zinc mineralization.
The McKay Hill property is subject to a 3% NSR and the Company has the option to buy back up to 2% of this NSR. The 100% owned Silver Hill property was staked by the Company based on several new discoveries and is not subject to an NSR.
MCKAY AND SILVER HILL WORK PROGRAMS
Exploration at McKay Hill has identified six kilometric-scale targets based on soil and rock sampling. To date the Company has identified 37 high-grade silver-gold-copper-lead-zinc vein structures at McKay Hill, that have seen very limited modern exploration. As part of Metallic Minerals’ broader regional exploration program at and around McKay Hill, which was partly funded by the Yukon Geological Survey’s innovative Yukon Mineral Exploration Program, the Company identified several new clusters of significant silver-gold-copper-lead-zinc mineralization in the Silver Hill area. Follow-up work resulted in the discovery of mineralization centered at three new kilometer-scale target areas.
In 2020, the Company initiated its first drill program at the McKay Hill project targeting two major structural zones in the Central Zone using a helicopter-portable reverse-circulation drill rig. Additional soil sampling was completed to extend the strike of known vein traces and zones of anomalous geochemistry to better define the targets for potential future drilling.
Ongoing exploration, which includes the continued development of the Company’s 3D geologic models at both McKay and Silver Hill are being integrated with regional geophysics and satellite and ground-based multi-spectral remote sensing along with the recent drilling and trench results. Exploration in 2021 at McKay and Silver Hill will be coordinated with the Company’s Keno Silver project exploration activities with new results aiding target ranking and prioritization.
KLONDIKE GOLD PROJECT, CANADA – ROYALTY PORTFOLIO
As shown in Figure 2 below, Metallic’s alluvial properties consist of Australia Creek and Dominion Creek, which are tributaries of the Indian River, in the Klondike gold district near Dawson City, Yukon. Australia Creek and Dominion Creek are part of the historic Klondike gold district that is estimated to have produced over 20 million ounces of gold since its discovery in 1898[1] . Australia Creek and its benches are now recognized by Yukon Geological Survey as an eastern continuation of the highly-productive Indian River drainage system, which is the largest placer gold

Figure 2 . The Company’s alluvial properties located in the Klondike gold district, Yukon, consisting of Australia Creek and Dominion Creek.
AUSTRALIA CREEK PROPERTY
The Company acquired a 100% interest in approximately 26 miles (42 km) of mining rights and 18 miles (29 km) of bench claims along the Australia Creek drainage (“Australia Creek Property”), a tributary to the Indian River, in the Klondike Gold district near Dawson City, Yukon (see Figure 2 on Page 7). The vendors will receive a 4% royalty from the Company on all alluvial gold production. The Company has the ability to buy back the full royalty.
The Company completed its final earn in for a 100% interest in the underlying Australia Creek Property with the issuance of 200,000 common shares of the Company on March 30, 2020.
The Company entered into a production royalty agreement with respect to a two-mile portion of the Australia Creek Property. Under the production royalty agreement, the Company has given an experienced arms-length alluvial mining operator an exclusive right to mine Lower Australia Creek, in exchange for a 10% royalty on all gold production, payable to the Company. Under the agreement the operator is required to complete exploration and development activities in preparation for start of mining. Work to date on the lease has included upgrading road access to the site, completion of geophysical surveys and test pits in order to assist in defining depth to bedrock,
Page 7 of 21

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021
as well as defining paleo-channels. A spring drill program was completed on the property and the next phase of work is anticipated to include a bulk sample in preparation for the start of production.
The Company entered into an additional production royalty agreement covering four additional miles of valley bottom and bench alluvial claims in two blocks of its Australia Creek property with an experienced alluvial mining operator in exchange for a 10% royalty on all gold production. This portion of the property required development of road access but is fully permitted for full scale production mining allowing for production to proceed following completion of test work. To date the operator has mobilized mining equipment to the site and conducted exploration work including drilling and bulk sample test pit development, which confirmed the presence of significant alluvial gold. The next phase of work is anticipated to include drilling and a bulk sample in preparation for the start of production.
The Company has approximately 6 miles out of its 26 miles of valley and bench alluvial claims under production royalty agreements. The areas under royalty agreements are fully permitted for full-scale production mining allowing for production to proceed following completion of test work. Metallic has initiated new alluvial mine permit applications on an additional 8 miles of the Australia Creek drainage above its current operators.
The Company is currently in discussions with additional experienced operators on further production royalty agreements on these highly prospective areas.
DOMINION CREEK PROPERTY
The Company acquired a 100% interest in mining rights from an arms-length party consisting of 10 claims totalling approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) along a bench of Dominion Creek, a tributary to the Indian River, in the Klondike gold district near Dawson City, Yukon (see Figure 2 on Page 7). The Company also entered into a production royalty agreement with respect to these claims under which the Company has granted exclusive mining rights to an experienced alluvial mining operator in exchange for a 15% royalty on all gold production.
Work to date has included site preparation, geophysics and test mining which has confirmed the presence of recoverable alluvial gold on the Dominion Creek property. The next phase of work is anticipated to focus on the collection of a bulk sample in preparation for the start of production.
The Company also owns additional alluvial claims that are managed along with the Klondike Gold project at California Creek and McKim Creek.
US PROJECTS
LA PLATA SILVER-GOLD-COPPER PROJECT
On September 10, 2019, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the La Plata property in southwest Colorado from two arms-length vendors. The property, which is approximately 26 km northwest of Durango, Colorado, covers approximately 33km[2] in the historic high-grade La Plata mining district. In consideration, the Company will issue a total of 10 million units and US$500,000 to the vendors over a period of four years upon the achievement of certain milestones. La Plata will be subject to a 2% NSR and the Company will have the ability to buy back up to 0.5% of this NSR. Certain other patented claims are subject to a total 1.5% NSR. As of the date of this MD&A, the Company has a remaining commitment of 7.5 million units and US$500,000.
Upon issuance, each of the units will comprise of one common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant, with each full warrant exercisable into one common share of the Company for a period of 36 months from issuance

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021
at an exercise price equal to 120% of the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX-V on the business day immediately preceding the date of issuance.
The La Plata district has a long and rich history of mining. High-grade silver and gold production has been documented from the 1870s through the early 1940s from vein structures, replacement bodies and breccia zones at over 90 individual mines and prospects. From the 1950s to the 1970s, 49 holes were drilled on the La Plata property totalling 12,700m by major miners Rio Tinto and Freeport-McMoran (formerly Phelps-Dodge). Drill holes and trenches confirmed the presence of a large-scale, multi-phase, precious-metals-rich alkalic copper porphyry system grading up to 1% copper with significant silver and other precious metals.
The La Plata property has been privately held since 2002, following sale of the last of the claims held by FreeportMcMoran near the bottom of the last copper market cycle. There has been virtually no modern exploration in over 50 years on either the large-scale porphyry system or the surrounding high-grade epithermal zones, both of which will be a focus for Metallic. Systematic exploration at the La Plata property has the potential to rapidly enhance the size of the known historic mineral resources and to identify and expand the higher-grade zones within the broader porphyry and epithermal mineralized systems.
LA PLATA SILVER-GOLD-COPPER PROJECT WORK PROGRAM
In the fall of 2019, the Company initiated an on-site exploration program to collect geological, geochemical and geophysical information covering this historic, high-grade brownfields district, including synthesis of past exploration and mining information to systematically refine future targets for drilling. Exploration in the fall of 2019 emphasized the utilization of modern exploration tools to assess both the central precious metals rich porphyry system, (drilled by Rio Tinto and Freeport-McMoran), and the surrounding high-grade silver-lead-zinc and epithermal silver-goldtelluride mineralization, which were the focus of historic mining and prospecting from the 1870s to 1940s.
In 2020, the Company carried out a number of significant exploration activities on the La Plata project that included multiple geophysical surveys, underground channel sampling, relogging and resampling of historic core and continued sourcing and compilation of historic data into a 3D exploration model of the Cu-Ag-Au Allard porphyry mineralized system. Geophysical surveys conducted in 2020 included Induced Polarization and advanced technology Mobile Magneto Telluric surveys, which mapped areas of known mineralization and identified a number of new targets for follow up work. A permit for an initial confirmatory drill program was received in late 2020 and a multi-phase drill program is being planned for mid-2021.
Exploration at the La Plata project in 2021 will focus on confirmatory drilling towards development of an initial 43101 resource in the Allard porphyry target area along with drilling designed to expand the areas of known mineralization which remain open to expansion in all directions. In addition, other exploration on the project will be directed at refinement and testing of new bulk-tonnage porphyry targets and high-grade silver and gold structurally controlled targets that extend across the La Plata property.

EXPLORATION OUTLOOK
The Company is implementing preventative COVID-19 protocols and measures to support the expanded exploration activities in the 2021 field season. Drilling is expected to be a significant part of the 2021 field activities at each of the Metallic properties with a focus on advancement toward initial resource definition at both the Keno Silver and La Plata projects. Activities on the Company’s Alluvial projects in the Klondike gold district are anticipated to see expanded drilling and bulk sample testing in 2021.
The company looks forward to providing continued updates of results from its exploration activities as they are completed over the next several months.

The net loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 was $6,462,922 (2020: $1,594,287). The majority of the increase in net loss year-over-year is a result of the Company conducting larger field exploration programs, increased share based payments and increased investor relations and corporate development costs during fiscal 2021.
The most significant expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 were exploration expenditures of $4,607,371 (2020: $725,353), consulting fees of $299,701 (2020: $307,337), share-based payment expense of $1,604,895 (2020: $270,654) and investor relations and corporate development expenses of $343,489 (2020: $214,591).
The exploration expenditures for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 of $4,607,371 (2020: $725,353) were largely comprised of consulting fees of $1,728,882, drilling costs of $1,120,862, and helicopter costs of $698,425. Of the exploration expenditures a total of $3,711,899 were incurred on the Keno Silver project, $710,052 on the La Plata project, $176,040 on the McKay Hill project and $122,373 on the Klondike Gold Project. The Company received a total of $112,993 in government grants.
Other items consisted of other income of $562,608 (2020: $72,525) relating to the completion of the flow-through expenditures commitment and interest and miscellaneous income of $14,483 (2020: $44,296).
Share-based payment expense increased due to the exercise of options using the Share Appreciate Rights (“SAR”). This resulted in an additional share-based payment of $631,940 during the nine months ended April 30, 2021. Additionally, there were 4,105,000 options granted to directors, officers and consultants during the April 30, 2020.
The investor relations and corporate development expenses of $343,489 for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 consisted of corporate development of $121,234, advertising costs of $87,697, marketing costs of $48,968 and conference costs of $47,028.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $59,526 during the three months ended April 30, 2021 from $5,886,139 at January 31, 2021. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was a result of cash of $585,750 provided by financing activities, partially offset by cash of $526,224 used in operating activities.

Nine months ended April 30, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $4,645,621 during the nine months ended April 30, 2021 from $1,300,044 at July 31, 2020. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was a result of cash of $11,254,939 provided by financing activities, partially offset by cash of $6,522,408 used in operating activities and cash of $86,910 used in investing activities.

Over the last eight quarters, the Company’s net loss ranged from $402,482 in Q2, 2020 to $4,058,040 in Q1, 2021.
The large fluctuations in the quarterly net losses are mainly attributable to the Company conducting significant field exploration programs in certain quarters and share based payments which fluctuate quarterly based on the timing of grants of options.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In management’s view, given the nature of the operations, which currently consists of its interest in certain mineral properties, the most relevant financial information relates primarily to current liquidity, solvency and planned expenditures. The Company’s financial success will be dependent upon the extent to which it can determine whether its resource properties contain reserves, which are economically recoverable.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021
Such development may take years to complete and the amount of resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine. The Company does not expect to receive significant income in the foreseeable future.
As at April 30, 2021, the Company had current assets totalling $6,700,673, including $5,945,665 of cash and cash equivalents. The Company had working capital of $6,162,015 and no long-term debt.
While the Company has been successful in obtaining the necessary financing through the issuance of common shares and loans from related parties in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to raise funds in this manner in the future and there remain material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s trade and other payables are due in the short term.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As a result of the issuance of FT shares on October 17, 2019, the Company had a commitment to incur $2,750,000 in qualifying Canadian exploration expenditures. As at April 30, 2021 the Company had completed the commitment and spent the full $2,750,000 on qualifying exploration expenditures.
As a result of the issuance of FT Shares on November 26, 2020, the Company has a commitment to incur $3,000,000 in qualifying Canadian exploration expenditures. As at April 30, 2021, the Company had a commitment to incur approximately $938,000 on qualifying exploration expenditures.
In recognition of the impacts of COVID-19, the Canadian government has proposed temporary relief measures to flow-through regulations including allowing companies an additional twelve months-period to incur eligible expenditures.

PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS
As of the date of this report, there were no proposed transactions.
FINANCIAL AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, due from related party, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related party. All except for cash and cash equivalents are all designated as amortized cost. The fair of financial instruments at amortized cost approximate the carrying amounts, due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, or the inclusion of market rates of interest thereon.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents is designated as FVTPL and presented at fair value in accordance with level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value of financial instruments
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement , establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. IFRS 13 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, but do not qualify as Level 1 inputs (i.e. quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities).
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that are not based on observable market data and require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a number of financial instrument related risks such as interest rate risk, credit risk and Liquidity risk. There have been no material changes to risks since the year ended July 31, 2020

DISCLOSURE OF OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA
As of the date of this report, there were 127,164,975 common shares, 19,402,548 share purchase warrants and 12,418,000 stock options outstanding.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are intended to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by securities regulations and that the information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management. Internal controls over financial reporting are intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. In connection with National Instrument 52-109 (Certificate of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings) (“NI 52-109”), the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have filed a Venture Issuer Basic Certificate with respect to the financial information contained in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 and this accompanying MD&A (together, the “Interim Filings”).
In contrast to the full certificate under NI 52-109, the Venture Issuer Basic Certificate does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, as defined in NI 52-109. For further information the reader should refer to the Venture Issuer Basic Certificates filed by the Company with the Interim and Annual Filings on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE FOR VENTURE ISSUERS WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT REVENUE
The Company provides disclosure related to capitalized or expensed exploration and acquisition costs in the notes to the financial statements and disclosure related to general and administration expenses in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company has no expensed research and development costs nor deferred development costs.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal business of the Company is the acquisition, exploration and development of silver and gold mineral properties. Given the nature of the mining business, the limited extent of the Company's assets and the present stage of development, the following risk factors, among others, should be considered:
Exploration Stage Company
The Company does not hold any known mineral reserves of any kind and does not generate any revenues from production. The Company’s success will depend largely upon its ability to locate commercially productive mineral reserves. Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and frequently is non-productive. There is no assurance that exploration efforts will be successful. Success in establishing reserves is a result of a number of factors, including the quality of management, the level of geological and technical expertise, and the quality of property available for exploration.
Once mineralization is discovered, it may take several years in the initial phases of drilling until production is possible, during which time the economic feasibility of production may change. Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable reserves through drilling and bulk sampling, to determine the optimal metallurgical process to extract the metals from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to construct mining and
Page 17 of 21

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021
processing facilities. Because of these uncertainties, no assurance can be given that exploration programs will result in the establishment or expansion of resources or reserves.
Operating History and Availability of Financial Resources
The Company does not have an operating history and has no operating revenues and is unlikely to generate any significant amount in the foreseeable future. Hence, it may not have sufficient financial resources to undertake by itself all of its planned mineral property acquisition and exploration activities. Operations will continue to be financed primarily through the issuance of securities.
The Company will need to continue its reliance on the issuance of such securities for future financing, which may result in dilution to existing shareholders. Furthermore, the amount of additional funds required may not be available under favourable terms, if at all. Failure to obtain additional funding on a timely basis could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development and could cause the Company to forfeit its interests in some or all of its properties or to reduce or discontinue its operations.
Price Volatility and Lack of Active Market
Securities markets in Canada and elsewhere continue to experience a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many public companies have experienced significant fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. It may be anticipated that any quoted market for the Company’s securities will be subject to such market trends and that the value of such securities may be affected accordingly. If an active market does not develop, the liquidity of the investment may be limited and the market price of such securities may decline below the subscription price.
Competition
The resource industry is intensively competitive in all of its phases, and the Company competes with many other companies possessing much greater financial and technical resources. Competition is particularly intense with respect to the acquisition of desirable undeveloped properties. The principal competitive factors in the acquisition of prospective properties include the staff and data necessary to identify and investigate such properties, and the financial resources necessary to acquire and develop the projects. Competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration.
Government Regulations and Environmental Risks and Hazards
The Company’s conduct is subject to various federal, provincial and state laws, and rules and regulations including environmental legislation. The Company has adopted environmental practices designed to ensure that it continues to comply with environmental regulations currently applicable to it. All of the Company’s activities are in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental legislation.
Environmental hazards may exist on the Company’s properties, which may have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental hazards related to any of its current property interests that may result in material liability to the Company.
Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the resource property interests, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021
==> picture [196 x 69] intentionally omitted <==
Dependence on Key Personnel
The Company is dependent on a relatively small number of key directors, officers and senior personnel. Loss of any one of those persons could have an adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not currently maintain “key-man” insurance in respect of any of its management.
Licenses and Permits
The operations of the Company require licenses and permits from various government authorities. The Company believes that it holds all necessary licenses and permits under applicable laws and regulations for work in progress and believes it is presently complying in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits. However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in various circumstances. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to explore and develop its properties, commence construction or operation of mining facilities or to maintain continued operations that economically justify the cost.
Title to Property
Although the Company has exercised the usual due diligence with respect to title to properties in which it has a material interest, there is no guarantee that title to the properties will not be challenged or impugned. The Company’s mineral property interest may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers, aboriginal land claims, government expropriation and title may be affected by undetected defects. In addition, certain mining claims in which the Company has an interest are not recorded in the name of the Company and cannot be recorded until certain steps are taken by other parties.
Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic
Outbreak of the corona virus and the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic may result in impacts to the Company’s ongoing exploration plans and activities in 2021. The Company is focused on the health and well-being of its workers and the communities in which we work and has implemented preventative measures accordingly. The Company will continue to monitor advice and regulations from the World Health Organization, governments and local communities, and adjust measures as appropriate. The Company may face disruption to operations, supply chain delays, travel and trade restrictions, and impacts on economic activity in affected countries or regions can be expected that are difficult to quantify. Regional disease outbreaks represent a threat to hiring and maintaining skilled workers, and could be a major health-care challenge for its workforce. There can be no assurance that the Company’s personnel will not be impacted by these regional disease outbreaks and ultimately that the Company could see its workforce productivity reduced or incur increased medical costs as a result of these health risks. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has created a dramatic slowdown in the global economy. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting travel restrictions, social distancing recommendations, government response actions, business disruptions and business closures may have an impact on the Company’s exploration operations and access to capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on global industrial and financial markets which may reduce metal prices, share prices and financial liquidity, thereby limiting access to additional capital.
