Mongoose Mining Ltd. Management Discussion and Analysis For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021

The Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), prepared September 27, 2021 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the condensed interim financial statement and notes thereto for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 of Mongoose Mining Ltd. (“Mongoose”) which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Description of Business

Mongoose Mining Ltd. (“the Company”) was incorporated on January 16, 2019 under the laws of British Colombia. The Company’s principal place of business is located at 215 Edward Street, Victoria, British Columbia, V9A 3E4.

The Company’s principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral property assets. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had not yet determined whether the Company’s mineral property asset, the Chu Chua Gold Property (the “Gold Property”), contains ore reserves that are economically recoverable.

On November 28, 2019, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”) and subsequently started trading of the Common Shares on the Canadian Stock Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “MNG”.

COVID-19

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic in March 2020. The Company is closely monitoring the situation but it is not possible at this time to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results the outbreak will have on the Issuer. COVID-19 restrictions have resulted in delaying further exploration of the Chu Chua property. At this time the Company continues to focus on our principal business activity of exploration of mineral property assets.

The Company is closely watching cash flows to ensure they are spent in a cost effective manner. The Company is also considering acquisitions and transactions to grow the entity in order to increase access to capital but nothing is imminent at this time.

Management is focusing on protecting the liquidity position of the Issuer by closely monitoring expenditures. The Issuer has a low G&A burn, including no cash compensation paid to officers and directors, which will enable the company to protect its liquidity position. See above for additional discussion.

Trends

The Company is a mineral exploration company, focused on the exploration and acquisition of mineral exploration properties.

The Company’s future performance and financial success is largely dependant on whether the Company can discover mineralization and the economic viability of developing the Company’s properties. The Company has not produced any revenues to date. The sales value of any minerals discovered by the Company is dependent on several factors that are not within the Company’s control, such as the market value of the commodities produced.

Mongoose Mining Ltd. Management Discussion and Analysis For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021

Global economic conditions at this time are volatile and the Company foresees this to continue, reflecting ongoing concerns over the global economy. There are also uncertainties regarding commodity prices and the availability of financing for the purposed of exploration and development. The Company’s future performance is connected to the development of its current assets and the overall global financial market. The Company strategy to mitigate this risk is to seek out prospective resource properties to acquire while monitoring the global economy.

Apart from these and risk disclosed in the Company’s financial statements, the Company is not aware of any trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or operations.

Critical Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Policies

The Company’s critical accounting judgements, estimates and policies are described in notes 2 and 3 to the December 31, 2020 annual financial statements. Certain accounting policies are identified as critical because they require management to make judgments and estimates based on conditions and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, and because the estimates are of material magnitude to revenue, expenses, funds flow from operations, income or loss and/or other important financial results. These accounting policies could result in materially different results should the underlying conditions change or the assumptions prove incorrect.

Critical accounting estimates are those requiring management to make particularly subjective or complex judgments about inherently uncertain matters. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and any revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the same period.

Management’s assumptions are based on factors that, in management’s opinion, are relevant and appropriate, and may change over time as operating conditions change

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could influence actual results or events and cause them to differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied. Such forward-looking statements necessarily involve risks including, without limitation, those associated with mining exploration, property development, production, marketing and transportation, such as loss of markets, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, production declines, health, safety and environmental risks, competition from other producers and the ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. Forward‐looking information typically includes statements with words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “estimate”, “propose”, “project”, or similar words suggesting future outcomes. The Company cautions readers and prospective investors in the ‐ Company’s securities not to place undue reliance on forward looking information as, by its nature, it is based on current expectations regarding future events that involve a number of assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company.

Forward-looking information typically involves substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: financial risk of marketing reserves at an acceptable price given market conditions; volatility in market prices; delays in business operations; the risk of carrying out operations with minimal environmental impact; industry conditions including changes in laws and regulations including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced; uncertainties associated with estimating gold reserves; risks and uncertainties related to oil and gas interests and operations on aboriginal lands; economic risk of finding and producing reserves at a reasonable cost; uncertainties associated with partner plans and approvals; operational matters related to non-operated properties; increased competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves and undeveloped lands; competition for and availability of qualified personnel or management; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions and exploration and development programs; unexpected geological, technical, drilling, construction, processing and transportation problems; availability of insurance; fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates; stock market volatility; general economic, market and business conditions; uncertainties associated with regulatory approvals; uncertainty of government policy changes; uncertainties associated with credit facilities and counterparty credit risk; changes in income tax laws; and other factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could, therefore, differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking estimates and whether or not any such actual results, performance or achievements transpire or occur, there can be no certainty as to what benefits or detriments the Company will derive therefrom.

The forward‐looking information included herein is expressly qualified in its entirety by this cautionary statement. It is made as of the date hereof and the Company assumes no obligation ‐ to update or revise any forward looking information to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law.
