3. HIGHLIGHTS AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
• On February 10, 2020, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement with RJK Exploration Ltd ("RJK") to purse kimberlite targets that RJK may identify on the Company's claims in the Cobalt, Ontario area. The term of the agreement will be for a period of three years from the date of acceptance. RJK will pay a fee of $12,000 cash per year for three years for a total of $36,000 to the Company to enter into an agreement whereby RJK will have the right to identify, sample and drill test with one diamond drill hole any identified potential kimberlite targets (Phase One). Should RJK determine that following it's initial Phase One exploration to continue exploration to each and any identified target, then RJK and the Company will enter into a Participating Joint-Operating Agreement whereby RJK would have 60% interest and the Company would have a 40% interest. RJK would then provide the Company with a Phase two exploration budget, at which time, the Company will have 60 days to agree to participate. RJK will place their 60% of the proposed budget into a lawyer's trust account for the 60 days until the joint-venture is triggered. RJK will create a

- Mining Management Committee for the purposes of allowing all parties to better understand the exploration plans. This includes, review of budgets, proposed work and the hiring of consultants. Should the Company decide not to participate then it will be reduced to a carried 1.5% GORR of which fifty percent (0.75%) can be purchased for a cash payment of $1,000,000. Should RJK find mineralized zones other than kimberlites, the structure of the agreement would revert to 50% for RJK and 50% for the Company with RJK being the operator. RJK would then provide the Company with a Phase two exploration budget, at which time, the Company would have 60 days to agree to participate. RJK will place their 50% of the proposed budget into a lawyer's trust account for the 60 days until such time the joint venture is triggered. Should the Company agree to participate, a Management Mining Committee would be established. If the Company decides not to participate, then it will be reduced to a 1.5% NSR of which 50% (0.75%) may be purchased for $1,000,000. Subject to Phase two and exploration by RJK a two kilometer area of interest surrounding the identified target, subject to claim availability, would be made available by the Company for exploration and development. Should the Company or any of its agents find economic minerals other than diamonds, then these claims on notice to RJK would be exempt from RJK having an interest.
- On April 23, 2020, The Company announce the appointment of new directors to the board and the appointment of a new executive management team for the Company. The new team is comprised of Aleem Nathwani, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Director, Yana Bobrovskaya, Director and David Kwok, Chief Financial Officer and Director. In connection with the foregoing, the Company announces the resignation of John Dyer as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, Randy Koroll as Chief Financial Officer and Directors and the resignation of Brian Stecyk as a Director of the Company. The Board of Directors and management would like to thank Messrs. Dyer, Koroll and Stecyk for their contributions to the Company and wish them every success in their future endeavours.
- Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as "COVID19", has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operating subsidiaries, or on its ability to raise capital to fund operations, in future periods.
- On October 8, 2020 the Company announced that it has entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Pallplat Metals Inc. ("Pallplat" or the "Vendors") for the acquisition of the Muddy Gullies project in Newfoundland, Canada (the "Muddy Gullies Property" or the "Property"). In consideration for the purchase of the Property, on signing of a definitive agreement, the Company will issue the shareholders of Pallplat 12,900,000 common shares in the capital of the Company. The Muddy Gullies Property is prospective for the exploration of platinum and palladium minerals and is comprised of 83 mineral claims.
4. HIGHLIGHTS AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
- The Property is located 28 kilometers northeast of Gander, Newfoundland. The completion of the transaction contemplated by the LOI remains subject to the Company and Pallplat entering into a definitive agreement and the approval of all regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
- On November 12, 2020 the Company announced that, further to its press release of October 8, 2020, the Company has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement (the "Share Purchase Agreement") with Pallplat and the shareholders of Pallplat to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Pallplat (the "Acquisition"). Pallplat is a private company formed under the laws of Ontario, whose sole asset is a letter of intent (the "LOI") with the Prospectus Alliance Syndicate, whereby Pallplat has the option to earn a 100% interest in the Muddy Gullies project in Newfoundland, Canada (the "Property"). As consideration for the Acquisition, the Company will issue an aggregate of 11,700,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") to the shareholders of Pallplat.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company will enter into a mining option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with the Prospectus Alliance Syndicate (the "Syndicate") whereby the Syndicate will grant an option (the 'Option") to the Company to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Property. In order to exercise the Option the Company is required to: (i) pay an initial deposit of $20,000, which has been paid by Pallplat, and additional cash payments of $20,000 payable on each of the first three anniversaries of the LOI; (ii) issue 1,200,000 Common Shares upon receipt of the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and an additional 600,000 Common shares to be issued on each the first three anniversaries of the LOI, and (ii) incur $800,000 in expenditures in respect of the Property over a threeyear period. In addition, Pallplat has agreed to reimburse the Syndicate for various expenses in the amount of $4,895, which has been paid by Pallplat.
In the event that the Option is exercised, the Company will grant a 2% net smelter returns royalty ("NSR") in favour of the Syndicate, subject to the ability of the Company to purchase 0.75% of the NSR (resulting in the remaining NSR being 1.25%) for a purchase price of $1,250,000 at any time before the commencement of commercial production on the Property. The completion of the Acquisition remains subject to the approval of all regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSXV.
• On December 4, 2020 the Company announced that, further to its press releases of October 8, 2020 and November 12, 2020, the Company has received conditional approval from the TSXV for its previously announces acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all of the outstanding issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Pallplat. Final approval and completion of the Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including the completion of a technical report with respect to Muddy Gullies Property in accordance with National Instruction 43- 101 and the receipt of all required regulatory and other approvals.

5. PROPERTY SUMMARY
Smith-Cobalt Property
The Smith-Cobalt properties are located approximately 4km SE of Cobalt, Ontario and is comprised of both patent and staked claims totaling 2,100 acres.
TheSmith Cobaltproperties are underlain by a sequence ofArchaean volcanic which are uncomfortably overlain by Huronian sediments. These formations have been intruded by the Proterozoic-age Nipissing diabase sill. Faulting, on both a regional and local scale, has been found by surface mapping and in drill cores. Polymetallic veining, and especially pinkish-white carbonate veins, has also been reported. Thus, all the necessary geological components of accepted mineralization models for silver-cobalt have been identified on the properties.
The second phase of the drilling program consisted of 16 holes and 2,345 m with the results as follows;
Highlights:
- The mineralized Smith Cobalt veins systems have been extended to over 400 m in strike length, from the western property boundary to the southeast towards the Smith Cobalt East surface.
- Significant concentrations of Co and Ag were encountered.
- Thick, highly anomalous zones of battery-related component metals (Cu, Ni, Zn) were intersected in multiple holes.
- Multiple mineralized veins were intersected in most holes.
- Confirmed and characterized vein systems mapped from historical mine workings.
- It was confirmed that the Smith Cobalt property lies in the same stratigraphic and structural setting as the nearby Deer Horn Mine.
Assay Highlights Include:
- 371.0 g/t Ag and 0.10% Co over 1.0m in hole 17-23
- 0.20% Co over 4.0m in hole 17-23
- 1.15 g/t Ag over 64.0m in hole 17-22
- 5.73 g/t Ag, 0.17% Cu, 0.29% Pb and 0.43% Zn over 6.0m in hole 17-24
- 3.08 g/t Ag over 49.2m in hole 17-25
- 211.0 g/t Ag and 0.193 g/t Au over 0.20m in hole 17-25
- 22.7 g/t Ag, 0.27% Co, 0.52% Cu and 0.439 g/t Au over 1.0m in hole 17-25
Holes 17-21 to 17-25 were drilled to extend the known vein systems extending to the southeast from the Smith Cobalt shaft. These holes were successful in extending the mineralized strike length to over 400 m from the western property boundary. This includes silver concentrations up to 371 g/t over 1.0m in hole 17-23, and cobalt concentrations up to 0.20% over 4.0 m in hole 17-22. Holes 17- 23 and 17-24 ended short of the planned target, having intersected what is probably old mine workings, or at least intense fracturing around those workings.
4. PROPERTY SUMMARY
Smith-Cobalt Property (Continued)
Holes 17-10 to 17-19 were short holes drilled under the Smith Cobalt East outcrop (see July 17, 2018 news release, 12.5% Co, 82.2 g/t Ag and 5.0 g.t Au in a 10cm wide vein). All the holes intersected quartz-calcite veining with occasional significant values. It appears that the main mineralization may be offset by a major NE-SW fault cutting across the outcrop.
Hole 17-20 was drilled at a steep angle to test the thickness of the diabase. The hole was stopped at 321.0 m, still in diabase. The variable textures and mineral content of the diabase suggests that this may be a feeder dyke for the sill. Of particular note is the very long intersection of highly anomalous nickel (0.03% Ni over 71.0 m).

4. PROPERTY SUMMARY
Smith-Cobalt Property (Continued)
The first phase of drilling was completed during the summer of 2018. Ground and airborne geophysics, along with historical mapping data and 3Dmodeling, were used to delineate the targets that were tested during the program. The campaign consisted of 9 diamond drill holes for 1897 meters (6,224 ft.), focusing on the northwesternsectionoftheproperty,andwas carriedoutbyG4Drilling,basedoutofVald'Or, Quebec. The objectives of the drill program were to expand the Company's knowledge of the geologicalsettingoftheknown veins that extend from the nearby Deer Horn Mine onto the Smith Cobalt property, to extend the strike length of those veins from the historicSmith Cobalt underground workings toward the southeast, and to confirm the values deduced from the muck pile sampling and make initial determinations of grade and thickness. This phase of drilling was carried out entirely on patented land.
Thephase1,9 holes, 1,896 m drill results for were as follows:
Highlights:
- Several zones with high-grade cobalt and silver were intersected.
- Thick, highly anomalous zones of battery-related component metals (Cu, Ni, Zn) were intersected in multiple holes.
- Multiple mineralized veins were intersected in most holes.
- Confirmed and characterized vein swarms mapped from historical mine workings.
- Confirmed that the Smith Cobalt property lies in the same stratigraphic and structural setting as the nearby Deer Horn Mine, currently owned and formerly operated by Agnico Eagle.
Assay Highlights Include:
- 1.71% Co and 42.5 g/t Ag over 0.10 m in hole 17-03.
- 1.85 g/t Ag over 56.0 m in hole 17-03
- 1.39 g/t Ag over 72.5 m in hole 17-04
- 0.22% Cu over 14.0 m in hole 17-04
- 0.13% Zn over 33.0 m in hole 17-04
- 0.11% Ni over 30.66 m in hole 17-06
- 0.17% Pb over 17.49 m in hole 17-04

8. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
As an exploration company, the Company has no regular cash in-flow from operations, and the level of activities is principally a function of availability of capital resources. To date, the principal source of funding has been equity financing.
As at October 31, 2020, the Company had $42,496 in cash (October 31, 2019 - $639,075). For the foreseeable future, as existing properties are explored and developed, the Company will continue to seek capital through the issuance of equity, strategic alliances or joint ventures, and debt, of which the Company currently has none.
Significant expenditures are required to establish mineral reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. The recoverability of valuations assigned to exploration and development mineral properties are dependent upon discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration, development and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of mineral assets.
Although management has made its best estimate of these factors, it is reasonably possible that certain events could adversely affect management's estimates of recoverable amounts and the need for, as well as the amount of, provision for impairment in the carrying value of exploration properties and related assets.
Many factors influence the Company's ability to raise funds, and there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining adequate financing and at favourable terms for these or other purposes including general working capital purposes. The Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values, as shown, and these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to the adjustment that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Working Capital
As at October 31, 2020, the Company had working capital surplus/(deficit) of $(52,384) (January 31, 2020 – $134,256). The working capital has declined since January 31, 2020 due to no new private placements or warrants exercised during the period, along with the operational costs incurred while pursuing potential projects. The Company has managed its working capital by controlling its spending on its properties and operations. Due to the ongoing planned exploration acquisitions over the near term, the Company intends to continue to incur expenditures without revenues and accumulate operating losses. Therefore, our continuance as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate financing to fund future exploration and development, to reach profitable levels of operation. It is not possible to predict whether future financing efforts will be successful or whether financing on favourable terms will be available.
The Company has no long-term debt and no long-term liabilities. The Company has no capital lease obligations, operating or any other long-term obligations, other than office and core shack rent.
8. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Resources
The Company had $42,496 on October 31, 2020, in cash.
Contractual Commitments
The Company's exploration activities are subject to various federal, provincial and international laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations to protect public health and the environment and believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to continue to make in the future, filings and expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
Capital Risk Management
The Company's capital structure consists of common shares, stock options and warrants. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it, based on available funds, to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Board does not establish quantitative returns on capital criteria for management.
The mineral properties in which the Company currently has an interest in is in the exploration stage. As such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. To carry out and pay for planned exploration and development along with operating administrative costs, the Company will fund such costs out of existing working capital and additional amounts raised.
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 nine months ended October 31, 2020. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Company's investment policy is to invest its surplus cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with maturities of year or less from the original date of acquisition, all held with major Canadian financial institutions.

The Company's financial assets and financial liabilities are categorized as follows:
Fair values
For the Company's financial instruments, including receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their immediate or short-term maturity.
Currency risk
The Company currently does not have any significant exposure to foreign currency risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, and the risk that the counterparty of related party receivables will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. To reduce credit risk, cash is held at major financial institutions.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet is financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company tries to ensure that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash. Currently, the Company's source of funding is from the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. As at October 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $42,496 (January 31, 2020 - $317,410) and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $102,553 (January 31, 2020 - $214,162).

14. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously 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.
Uncertainty about these judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
The significant areas of estimation uncertainty considered by management in preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are as follows:
(i) Share-based compensation expense:
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options in order to calculate share-based compensation expense. The Black-Scholes model involves six key inputs to determine the fair value of an option: risk-free interest rate, exercise price, market price at the date of issue, expected dividend yield, expected life, and expected volatility. Certain of the inputs are estimates that involve considerable judgment and are or could be affected by significant factors that are out of the Company's control. The Company is also required to estimate the future forfeiture rate of options based on historical information in its calculation of share-based compensation expense.
15. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
(ii) Valuation of broker warrants:
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of broker warrants issued in connection with the Company's private placements. The Black-Scholes model requires six key inputs to determine a value for a broker warrant: risk free interest rate, exercise price, market price at date of issue, expected dividend yield, expected life and expected volatility. Certain of the inputs are estimates which involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of the Company's control. For example, a longer expected life of the broker warrant or a higher volatility number used would result in an increase in the broker warrant fair value.
The significant areas of judgment considered by management in preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are as follows:
(i) Going concern:
The Company's management has made an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and the condensed interim consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has no sources of revenue and remains dependent on its ability to obtain financing which may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
(ii) Deferred tax assets:
Deferred tax assets are recognized in respect of tax losses and other temporary differences to the extent it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the losses can be utilized.
