Description of Business

Orosur Mining Inc. (TSX: OMI; AIM: OMI) is a precious metals developer and explorer focused on identifying and advancing gold projects in South America. The Company operates in Colombia and Uruguay.

  • In Colombia, the Company wholly owns the Anzá exploration gold project located in the Middle Cauca Belt in Antioquia, Colombia which hosts such projects as Buriticá, Titiribí, Marmato and La Colosa. On September 10, 2018, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of $2 million with Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) and an exploration agreement with a venture option (“Exploration Agreement”) with Newmont Colombia S.A.S., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont, for the Anzá exploration property. On September 30, 2020, it was announced that Newmont would enter into a Joint Venture Agreement (“Joint Venture”) with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico”) whereby the two companies will jointly assume and advance Newmont’s prior rights and obligations with respect to the Anzá Project in Colombia on a 50:50 basis with Agnico as operator of the Joint Venture.

  • In Uruguay, the Company has historically operated the San Gregorio gold mining complex in the northern Department of Rivera. The Company has been exploring in Uruguay since 1996 and acquired the San Gregorio operation in October 2003. On June 14, 2018 the Company applied for Reorganization Proceedings and creditor protection over Loryser S.A. (“Loryser”), the Company’s primary operating subsidiary in Uruguay, in the best interests of Loryser, the Company and their stakeholders. In August 2018, production ceased and the mine was placed on care and maintenance status. In December 2018, Loryser reached an agreement with the majority of its creditors (the “Creditors Agreement”), achieving a support level of approximately 72% of creditors by value, comprising 67 different creditors. The Creditors Agreement was ratified by the Court in September 2019. The ratification by the Court means that the Agreement is legally binding on all trade creditors and that the Intervenor’s control over Loryser ceases.

Corporate Highlights

Financial and operational highlights for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021 include:

Colombia

  • As noted above in the Description of Business section, on 30[th] September 2020, Newmont Corporation, entered into a Joint Venture with Agnico whereby the two companies will jointly assume and advance Newmont’s prior rights and obligations with respect to the Anzá Project in Colombia on a 50:50 basis, with Agnico as operator of the Joint Venture. Agnico’s and Newmont’s JV vehicle was renamed Minera Monte Aguila.

  • Following receipt of exploration funds from its JV partner Minera Monte Aquila, Minera Anzá began the process of re-establishing its field camp at the Anzá project in readiness for commencement of field operations. A substantial team of geoscientists and support staff were recruited to manage the work.

  • Drilling operations commenced on the 15[th] of November 2020 with a total of 2,994.7m drilled to the end of February 2021, with 2,762m completed during the quarter.

  • Two announcements have been made related to assay results from the ongoing drilling campaign – on 25[th] January 2021 and 22[nd] February 2021. Key intersections include:

  • MAP-072 4.1m @ 6.52g/t Au, 29.73g/t Ag and 0.28% Zn from 108m . 5.90m @ 4.55g/t Au, 2.74g/t Ag and 0.30% Zn from 171.1m, and 70.50m @ 3.53g/t Au, 9.33g/t Ag and 1.62% Zn from 184.80m

MAP-073 21.60m @ 6.02g/t Au, 6.02g/t Ag and 3.23 %Zn from 271.75m

MAP-074 5.20m @ 1.17g/t Au 4.97g/t Ag and 3.02% Zn from 195.40m

MAP-075 19.85m @ 0.90g/t Au 2.17 g/t Ag and 6.46% Zn from 226.15m

MAP-076 12.25m @ 5.39g/t Au, 1.65 g/t Ag and 0.18 % Zn from 228.65m

  • A considerable volume of samples remains at the laboratory of ALS in Peru, which has experienced substantial delays in turnaround times due to Covid related staff shortages. These issues are slowly being resolved and it is anticipated that assay delays will be reduced in the next quarter.

  • Apart from drilling at the APTA prospect, work commenced on regional mapping and sampling across the wider lease holding. A large program of BLEG sampling was commenced, which once analyzed should provide vectors to more targeted programs in following quarters.

  • The company has commenced work on converting the last of its secure license applications to granted status so that they can be accessed for exploration work later in the year.

Uruguay

  • In Uruguay, the Company has focused its activities on the implementation of the Creditors Agreement, which was approved by the Court in September 2019, and the sale of the assets of its Uruguayan subsidiary Loryser. As part of that Agreement, Orosur issued in December 2019,10,000,000 Orosur common shares to a trust for the benefit of Loryser’s creditors as contemplated in the court-approved Creditors Agreement.

  • At the same time, and in line with Company´s expectations, during Q3 2020, Loryser signed a Settlement Agreement with DINAMA (Uruguay environmental agency) in order to recover the $1,326 from an environmental guarantee it had executed previously. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Loryser is continuing with the reclamation of the tailings dam and Dinama will pay in instalments upon completion of a nine-phased closure plan. The agreement is now effective after getting final approval from the Audit Tribunal, who oversees all Governmental accounts. The reclamation is progressing well. The first of the payments from DINAMA in an amount of $150 was received by the Company on May 21, 2020 and the second payment of $269 was received post period end on December 7, 2020.

  • On August 6, 2020, the Company sold its mining and exploration permits in the San Gregorio Project area of Uruguay to Kiwanda Group LLC for an aggregate cash consideration of $550 of which $250 was received on completion and a further $300 is payable on August 1, 2021.

  • Good progress is being made on the sale of Loryser’s other assets including plant and equipment. The proceeds from all of these sales will be used to pay liabilities in Uruguay in connection with the aforementioned Creditors Agreement.

Financial and Corporate

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost method except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are accounted for as Assets and Liabilities held for sale (at the lower of book value or fair value) and Profit and Loss from discontinuing operations. This accounting treatment has been applied to the activities in Uruguay and Chile.

On February 28, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $7,006, (May 31, 2020 - $782). As at the date of this MD&A the Company had a cash balance of $7,595 which includes the proceeds from the private placement and from the exercise of options, both detailed below.

On July 17, 2020 Brad George was appointed Chief Executive Officer and Thomas Masney was appointed as a non-executive director, replacing Ignacio Salazar and HD Lee respectively.

On August 14, 2020 8,370,000 warrants expired unexercised.

Outlook and Strategy

During the period, the company continued its focus on developing the potential at Anza and continuing the orderly closure of its historical operations in Uruguay in accordance with the court agreed settlement process.

Work on both facets of the corporate strategy is progressing well and the recent capital raising in November 2020 has provided sufficient balance sheet strength to continue progress.

The company is also examining new business opportunities in South America, subject to travel limitations caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this filing, the Company does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the financial performance or financial condition of the Company, including, and without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.

Proposed Transactions

The Company routinely evaluates various business development opportunities which could entail optioning properties, direct acquisitions, trades and/or divestitures. In this regard, the Company is currently in discussions with various parties, but no definitive agreements with respect to any proposed transactions have been entered into as of the date of this MD&A. There can be no assurances that any such transactions will be concluded in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash balances from continued operations of $7,006 at February 28, 2021 (May 31, 2020 - $782). The increase in cash during the nine months ended February 28, 2021, was primarily due to funds received from financing activities and the Company’s JV partner in the Anza project.

Net cash used in operating activities was $(809) for the nine months ended February 28, 2021. Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $1,753 comprising $461 from proceeds received for the sale of equipment and plant; proceeds received from exploration and option agreement of $2,893; and, ($1,540) in expenditure on exploration and evaluation.

Net cash provided by financing activities was 5,697 for the nine months ended February 28, 2021comprising of $4,978 net received from issue of units and $719 from the exercise of options and warrants.

At February 28, 2021, the Company had a net working capital deficiency of $11,849 (May 31, 2020 – $15,719). The Company is not generating cash from operations but relies on the cash payments received under the exploration and option agreement for the funding of commitments in Colombia and to cover its financial needs outside Uruguay. The reorganization in Uruguay is, as per the December 2018 Agreement, financing itself by the sale of Loryser’s assets proceeds which are intended to cover its outstanding and ongoing liabilities. While Loryser needs to fully cover the labour and environmental liabilities, the Creditors

Page 8

Orosur Mining Inc. Management’s Discussion & Analysis Three And Nine Months Ended February 28, 2021 Dated – April 13, 2021

Agreement provides that all amounts owing by Loryser to its trade creditors would be considered fully satisfied by net proceeds from the sale of Loryser’s assets in Uruguay, together with the issuance of 10 million common shares of Orosur into Trust. In the event that the exploration and option partners do not meet its funding requirements, the Company will require external financing to advance its exploration project in Colombia. Such financing may be by way of equity, and / or debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to the Company when needed or, if available, that this financing will be on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may not be able to advance its exploration project in Colombia.

During the nine months to February 28, 2021,the Company successfully raised £4 million ($5,372) through a private placement, and has received a further $437 through the exercise of options and $282 through the exercise of warrants

See “Risk Factors” below.

Outstanding Share Data

As at the date of this MD&A, the Company had the following number of common shares and issuable shares outstanding:

Basic shares outstanding
Common shares 188,251,966
Issuable under options 8,087,312
Issuable under warrants 10,897,058
Fully diluted shares outstanding 207,236,336

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures (“DCP”) as well as internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as described in our 2020 annual MD&A.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), with the participation of management last completed an evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s DCP’s and ICFR’s as at May 31, 2020. Based on that assessment, management concluded that the Company’s ICFR were operating effectively at February 28, 2021, which was based on the COSO Model.

During the nine months ended February 28, 2021, the CEO and CFO have evaluated whether there were changes to the ICFR that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the ICFR. No such significant changes were identified through their evaluation which was based on the COSO Model.

Limitations of controls and procedures

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, believe that any internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed, can have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Orosur Mining Inc. Management’s Discussion & Analysis Three And Nine Months Ended February 28, 2021 Dated – April 13, 2021

Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. By definition, estimates and assumptions seldom equal actual results and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, and to the amounts of revenues and expenses presented in these financial statements. The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are discussed below:

Consolidation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orosur and its subsidiaries (collectively “the Group”). Subsidiaries are entities controlled directly or indirectly by Orosur. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The Company’s list of subsidiaries is included in note 16 to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021. All are 100% owned by Orosur and they include the Company’s subsidiaries in Uruguay, Chile and Colombia. In each case the management has deemed that Orosur has control over these and all other subsidiaries on the measures set out above.

Discontinued operations.

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss.

The Company is accounting for its activities in Chile and Uruguay as discontinued. Chile is recognized as a discontinued operation after all of its mining assets were sold or returned. In Uruguay, the operations are on a care and maintenance basis and the Company’s subsidiary, Loryser S.A. is well advanced in the sale of its assets and the liquidation of its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The recoverability of amounts shown for capitalized exploration and evaluation costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves. Management reviews the carrying value of capitalized exploration and evaluation costs at least annually. The review is based on the Company’s intention for development of the underlying asset.

Environmental rehabilitation provisions

The fair value of the liability is determined based on the net present value of estimated future costs estimated by management based on feasibility and engineering studies on a site by site basis. While care was taken to estimate the retirement obligations, these amounts are estimates of expenditures that are not due until future years. The Company assesses its provision on an ongoing basis or when new material information becomes available.

Page 10

Orosur Mining Inc. Management’s Discussion & Analysis Three And Nine Months Ended February 28, 2021 Dated – April 13, 2021

Stock-based compensation

The Company uses the fair value method to account for stock-based employee compensation plans. The calculation of this benefit relies on estimates of the anticipated life of the option, risk free rate, forfeiture rate, and the volatility of the Company’s share price.

Capital Management

Our capital management objectives are to safeguard the Company’s ability to support our operating requirements on an ongoing basis, continue the development and exploration of the Company’s mineral properties and support expansion plans while attempting to maximize the return to shareholders through enhancing the share value. The Company defines capital that it manages as net worth, which is comprised of total shareholders’ equity and debt obligations (net of cash and cash equivalents).

The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments according to market conditions in an effort to meet its objectives given the current outlook of the business and industry in general. The Company may manage its capital structure by, upon approval of its Board of Directors, issuing new shares, disposing of assets or undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business, including proposals on acquisitions or other major investments or divestitures, as well as capital and operating budgets.

The Company does not have a numeric target for its capital structure. The capital structure is reviewed by management and the Board of Directors on an ongoing basis. The Company manages capital through its financial and operational forecasting processes. The Company reviews its working capital and forecasts its future cash flows based on operating expenditures and other investing and financing activities. Selected information is frequently provided to the Board of Directors of the Company.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021.

Risk Factors

An investment in the securities of the Company is highly speculative and involves numerous and significant risks. Such investment should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume these risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment.

Please refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information Form dated October 14, 2020 and Annual MD&A dated October 14, 2020 (available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com).

The principal risks are considered to be those set out below.

Covid-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. In Colombia, the Company has established protocols to mitigate against the problems presented by COVID-19, which should allow activity to continue in Anzá. There can, of course, be no assurances that there will be no disruptions from any future outbreaks in the locality and the wider region that would lead to a more protracted exploration program. In Uruguay, the impact of the pandemic has slowed down the realization of assets but sales are still being made, including to foreign buyers, in spite of travel restrictions.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as maintenance of liquidity.

The Company is not currently generating cash from operations but relies on cash payments from Minera Monte Aguila and its funding of commitments in Colombia to cover its financial needs outside of Uruguay. The business in Uruguay is, as per the Creditors Agreement,, financing itself selling its assets while covering its liabilities. There can be no assurance that funding will be available to the Company or, if available on acceptable terms, that it will be sufficient to cover all its needs in the future. The Company may in the future consider raising equity capital in amounts sufficient to fund both exploration work and working capital requirements.

Liquidity risk depends on certain forward-looking statements which include, without limitation, the exploration plans in Colombia and the funding from Monte Aguila (the 50:50 joint venture between Newmont and Agnico) of those plans, Monte Aguila’s decision to continue with the option agreement, the satisfactory implementation of the ratified Creditors’ Agreement in Uruguay, and the enforcement of the arbitration process in Chile against Fortune Valley Resources Chile S.A. (a subsidiary of the Company) and any effects of that arbitration’s decision on the Company. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.

Key Personnel Risks

Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is critical to the Company’s success. Although the Company believes that it will be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, there can be no assurance of such success.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. All of the Company's entities have the United States dollar as the functional currency, except for Waymar Resources Ltd., Cordillera Holdings International Ltd. and Minera Anzá S.A., the functional currency of which is the Canadian dollar and Minera Anzá S.A. (Colombia branch), the functional currency of which is the Colombian peso. The Company conducts some of its activities in currencies other than the US dollar, especially in Uruguayan pesos. The Company also has active exploration programs in Colombia and has some of its expenditure denominated in Colombian pesos. The Company is therefore subject to gains or losses due principally to fluctuations in the Uruguayan peso and the Colombian peso relative to the US dollar. The Company manages its currency rate risk by denominating its contracts and commitments, where possible, in US dollars. The Company does not have a policy, to nor has it entered into derivatives to mitigate foreign currency risks.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfil its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents credit risk is mitigated by using well capitalized financial institutions.

Sensitivity to foreign exchange rates

The Company has financial exposure principally to foreign exchange fluctuations in the Uruguayan, Chilean and Colombian peso and the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar.
