Date of report: September 28, 2021
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE
The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral resources, currently focusing on projects in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Nevada, USA.
As of the date of the report, the Company does not own any operating mines and has no operating income from mineral production. Funding for operations is raised primarily through public and private share offerings. It is not known whether the Company’s mineral properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts recorded by the Company for mineral property interests and related deferred exploration costs are dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability to raise funding for continued exploration and development, the completion of property option expenditures and acquisition requirements, or from proceeds from disposition.
The Financial Statements have been prepared under a going concern assumption which contemplates the Company will continue in operation and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Should the going concern assumption not continue to be appropriate, adjustments to carrying values may be required. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations and maintain its current operations is contingent upon successful completion of additional financing arrangements and ultimately upon the discovery of proven reserves and generating profitable operations.
On September 9, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement with DG Resource Management Ltd. (“the Optionor”) to acquire a 100% right, title and interest in and to the 7 mining claims in Icefield Gold Project, British Columbia. Pursuant to the option agreement, the Company is required to pay a total of $50,000 in cash, issue 7,000,000 common shares and 2,000,000 share warrants in a period of two years.
On November 22, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Trillium Gold Mines Inc. (“Trillium”) to acquire certain Confederation Lake Properties (“Confederation Belt”) held by the Company in consideration of $500,000 in cash (received) and $1,250,000 worth of common shares of Trillium.
The Confederation Lake Properties consist of Lucky 7 Property, Mitchell, Gerry Lake and Karas Lake Property , and North Pakwash Property.

PEGASUS RESOURCES INC. (FORMERLY PISTOL BAY MINING INC.) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MAY 31, 2021 AND 2020
During the year ended May 31, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic is causing significant financial market and social dislocation. The situation is dynamic with various cities and countries around the world responding in different ways to address the outbreak. The Company continues to monitor the investment portfolio and assess the impact COVID19 will have on its business activities. The extent of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company is uncertain.
Management expects to be successful in arranging sufficient funding to meet operating commitments for the ensuing year. However, the Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the costs of exploring and developing its resource properties, operating costs, the current capital market environment and global market conditions. The Company has a working capital deficiency at May 31, 2021 of $886,598 (2020 restated – $414,069). For significant expenditures and resource property development, the Company will depend almost exclusively on outside capital. Such outside capital will include the issuance of additional equity shares. There can be no assurance that capital will be available, as necessary, to meet the Company’s operating commitments and further exploration and development plans. The issuance of additional equity securities by the Company may result in significant dilution to the equity interests of current shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the future success of the business could be adversely affected.

MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS
CONFEDERATION LAKE PROPERTIES – Dixie Properties, AurCrest Property, Joy North Property, Lucky 7 Property, Mitchell, Gerry Lake, Karas Lake.
In May 2017, the Company announced that the VTEM airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey of the Company's properties in the Confederation Lake greenstone belt has been expanded to cover almost twice the area of the original survey plan. The Company modified its contract with Geotech Ltd. to expand the helicopter-borne VTEM survey from 1,128 to 2,100-line kilometres. The survey covered a 40-kilometre length of the Confederation Lake greenstone belt, southeast of Red Lake, Ont. The Confederation Lake belt is characterized by numerous occurrences, zones and deposits of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization carrying zinc and/or copper with associated gold and silver credits.
The VTEM survey identified a number of anomalies where no mineralized zones were previously known. The Company staked over 14,500 acres of conductors and IP Anomalies detected by the VTEM survey. A total of 297 new claim units have brought the Company’s total land package in the Confederation Lake belt to over 51,000 acres.
The Company filed a new NI43-101 technical report on the Garnet Lake Property (which includes the Fredart and Lucky 7 claim groups). The report was prepared by a “qualified person” for the purposes of NI 43-101.
In March 2018, the Company commenced a diamond drilling program on its 51,000-acre Confederation Lake property in north western Ontario.
In May and June 2018, the Company announced an update on the drilling program at Confederation Lake. Three holes totalling 1,556 metres provide additional information where previous drill intercepts were sparse or where there was a degree of uncertainty in the location of drill intercepts. All three drill holes intersected a sulphide zone with sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite.
On October 22, 2019, the Company announced that they have planned to commence additional geophysical studies from the 2017 VTEM survey. The Company will be conducting a more comprehensive interpretation of the 2100-line km VTEM survey done by Geotec in 2017. To date, only a small percentage has been interpreted. The Company plans to focus this work on the Fredart-Gerry Lake trend with the number one priority target generated from the survey on the north end of the Fredart Lake trend. The second priority target will be north of the 43-101 compliant Arrow Zone on the Garnet property. The Company had acquired additional ground by staking new claims covering previously unknown anomalies detected by the 2017 2100-line km VTEM Plus™ airborne survey. The new claims cover a continuous magnetic anomaly that runs for 6.5 kilometres between the existing Joy and Fredart claim groups. The total strike length of this anomaly, which encompasses the historic Joy and Fredart claim groups, is now approximately 22 kilometres.

DIRT Exploration of Cape Town, South Africa have been engaged to complete a long-wave infrared (LWIR) interpretation over the Millionara Property. LWIR is a remote sensing technique that is also referred to as thermal imaging, that can be used to map the distribution of certain minerals related to hydrothermal alterations (such as quartz, adularia, albite, kaolinite, orthoclase, Na- and Ca-montmorillonite, calcite, opal, chalcedony, gypsum, alunite, jarosite, and other sulfates). The study is designed to confirm and prioritize areas of the property for future exploration.
Millionara Highlights:
-
The Property is approximately 25 km northwest of the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine, which was recently purchased by First Majestic Silver Corp. in a $470 million plus share deal. Jerritt Canyon has produced over 9.5 million ounces of gold since 1981.
-
The majority of the historical exploration on the Property between 1986 and 1991 focussed on exploring the Range Front Structure. It includes the following drill results:
-
Hole M88C-3: 19.8 m of 3.63 g/t Au
-
Hole WILC-4: 21.3 m of 4.05 g/t Au
-
Between 2010 and 2011, Ashburton Ventures Inc. (“Ashburton”) focussed exploration on the high-grade Upper Vein Area.
-
On the surface, mineralization appears to be associated with highly silicified breccias and sinters along a prominent range front structure in Paleozoic carbonate rocks. Epithermal and Carlin-type deposit styles are being considered on the Project.
-
Shallowly drilled, with potential to find additional mineralization at depth.
-
Several of the drill tested gold mineralized zones are open for expansion and several soil and/or rock anomalies have not yet been drill-tested.
-
Located primarily on BLM-administered land.
-
Excellent road access and nearby power and other amenities.
Range Front Target Area:
The Range Front target area follows the north-south striking Range Front fault, which is the dominant high-angle fault on the Property. The structure has created the broadest area of mineralization on the Property, with several wide and unconstrained gold-bearing intervals. A review of historical exploration reveals that the structure has not been tested along strike with great detail. Highlights of the target area include:
-
Hole M88C-3: 19.8 m of 3.63 g/t Au
-
Hole WILC-4: 21.3 m of 4.05 g/t Au
-
Hole DC-11-C-5: 73.7 m of 0.46 g/t Au, including 1.2 m of 14.10 g.t Au
-
Hole DC-11-C-28: 68.7m of 0.21 g/t Au
Upper Vein Area:
The focus of Ashburton in the 2010/11 exploration of the Property was the Upper Vein target area, located 600 metres east of the Range Front target area. Ashburton defined a 640-metrelong trend with high-grade surface samples from a vein that varies between 0.20 and 1.5 metres. Highlights of the target area include:
-
7 samples of greater than 40 g/t gold were collected from the vein, with a high of 1180 g/t gold.
-
Hole DC-11-C-10: 1.2 m of 1.69 g/t Au, including 4.47 g/t Au

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash, accounts payable, loans and due to related parties. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents as presented in the statement of financial position is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Certain non-financial assets and liabilities may also be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There are three levels of the fair value hierarchy that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, with Level 1 inputs having the highest priority. The levels and the valuation techniques used to value financial assets and liabilities are described below.
Level 1 - Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Cash and marketable securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. Accordingly, these are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 2 - Significant Other Observable Inputs
18 | P a g e
PEGASUS RESOURCES INC. (FORMERLY PISTOL BAY MINING INC.) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MAY 31, 2021 AND 2020
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. There are no items in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs
Unobservable (supported by little or no market activity) prices. There are no items in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Values
The following table outlines the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value by level with the fair value hierarchy described in Note 3. Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair measurement.
As at May 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value are as follows:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 31, 2021 | ||||

Financial Instrument Risks
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk and currency risk.
a) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit concentration risk by holding cash. This risk is minimized by holding the investments in large Canadian financial institutions. The Company has no accounts receivable exposure.
b) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to minimal interest rate risk. Fluctuations in market interest rates do not have a significant impact on the Company's operations.
c) Market risk
The Company is exposed to market risk for fluctuating values of its publicly traded marketable securities and other company investments. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments.
d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. As at May 31, 2021, the Company manages this risk by monitoring its working capital to ensure its expenditures will not exceed available resources. As at May 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $103,581 (2020 - $10,257) and a working capital deficiency of $886,598 (2020 restated – $414,069). The Company may not be able to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $490,198 (2020 - $507,676), and loans payable of $96,631 (2020 - $107,199) which fall due for payment within twelve months of the statement of financial position date.
e) Currency risk
19 | P a g e
PEGASUS RESOURCES INC. (FORMERLY PISTOL BAY MINING INC.) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MAY 31, 2021 AND 2020
Currency risk is the risk from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. As at May 31, 2021, the Company’s cash is held in Canadian dollars and accordingly the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risks on cash balances held in foreign currencies is not expected to be significant.
LEGAL JUDGEMENT

OTHER MATTERS
Commitments:
Flow-through shares tax liabilities
The Company entered into Flow-through Share Subscription Agreements in the calendar years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 whereby it was committed to incur on or before December 31, 2012 a total of $1,502,719 of qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenses (“CEE”) as described in the Income Tax Act of Canada. As at December 31, 2012, $648,625 of the total amount was required to be fulfilled. As the Company did not fulfil the expenditure obligation, an aggregate of $395,672 was accrued towards the penalties to be assessed by Canada Revenue Agency and the indemnification of the shareholders for the unfulfilled commitments.
The probability of settlement of the potential liability decreased sufficiently for the Company allowing it to derecognize the provision. As at May 31, 2021, the Company has an accrual of $Nil towards the flow-through liabilities. The Company may be required to settle this potential liability in the future. The amount of actual claim, if any, is contingent on future assessments to the Company and its investors.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
In connection with Exemption Orders issued in November 2007 by each of the securities commissions across Canada, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company will file a Venture Issuer Basic Certificate with respect to the financial information contained in the unaudited interim financial statements and the audited annual financial statements and respective accompanying MD&A.
In contrast to the certificate under National Instrument (“NI”) 52-109 (Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings), the Venture Issuer Basic Certification includes a ‘Note to Reader’ stating that the CEO and CFO do not make any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financing reporting, as defined in NI 52-109.
RISKS
The Company is engaged in the exploration for and development of mineral deposits. These activities involve significant risks which careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not, in some cases, eliminate. The commercial viability of any material deposit depends on many factors not all of which are within the control of management. Some of the factors that affect the financial viability of a given mineral deposit include its size, grade, proximity to infrastructure, Government regulation, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, environmental protection and reclamation and closure obligations.
The discovery, development and acquisition of mineral properties are in many respects, unpredictable events. Future metal prices, capital equity markets, the success of exploration programs and other property transactions can have a significant impact on capital requirements.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to the properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of the same, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title to these properties. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
The Company’s current operations do not generate any positive cash flow and it is not anticipated that any positive cash flow will be generated for some time. The Company has limited financial resources and the mining claims, which impose financial obligations on the Company. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to allow the Company to fulfill such obligations.

PEGASUS RESOURCES INC. (FORMERLY PISTOL BAY MINING INC.) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MAY 31, 2021 AND 2020
Further exploration and development of the various mineral properties in which the Company holds interests depends upon the Company’s ability to obtain financing through the joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to forfeit all or part of its interests in some or all of its Resource Properties and reduce or terminate its operations.
The Company’s properties are in the exploration stages only and are without known bodies of commercial mineralization and have no ongoing mining operations. Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Exploration of properties may not result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of mineralization. If the Company’s efforts do not result in any discovery of commercial mineralization, the Company could be forced to look for other exploration projects or cease operations.
The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of the properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest. 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 its current properties that may result in material liability to the Company.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company’s business, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics or pandemics or other health crises. In December 2019, the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared a global emergency on January 30, 2020 with respect to the outbreak and characterized it as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The outbreak has spread throughout the world and there continue to be escalating cases of COVID-19 in Canada and the United States, causing companies and various international jurisdictions to impose restrictions, such as quarantines, closures, cancellations and travel restrictions. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Such public health crises can result in volatility and disruptions in global supply chains, business operation and financial markets, as well as declining trade, market sentiment and reduced mobility of people, all of which could affect, interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk and inflation. The risks to the Company of such public health crises also include risks to employee health and safety and a slowdown or temporary suspension of operations in geographic locations impacted by an outbreak, labour shortages, travel and shipping disruption and shutdowns (including as a result of government regulation and prevention measures), decrease in sales, and delay, deferment or cancellation of potential partnerships and of the deployment of current and potential future extraction systems.
Annual losses are expected to continue until the Company has an interest in a mineral property that produces revenues. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon the continued support of its shareholders, obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. The Company’s accompanying financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
Any forward-looking information in this MD&A is based on the conclusions of management. The Company cautions that due to risks and uncertainties, actual events may differ materially from current expectations. With respect to the Company’s operations, actual events may differ from current expectations due to economic conditions, new opportunities, changing budget priorities of the Company and other factors.
