ELi Property
The ELi Property is a sediment-hosted lithium deposit is located in central Nevada and about one hour south of Eureka, a regional mining center. Access to the property is good and both exploration and exploitation activities can be conducted year-round. Initial sampling of over 150 surface samples returned average lithium values of 342 ppm (max 1,023 ppm, min 45 ppm) and are contained within a sedimentary sequence of Miocene mudstone and claystone.
The origin of this lithium deposit is suspected to be similar to the Clayton Valley deposit located about 200 km to the south. Both projects are reasonably well represented by the USGS preliminary deposit model, which describes the primary characteristics as light-colored, ash-rich, lacustrine (lake) rocks containing swelling clays, occurring within hydrologically closed basins in an arid climate with some abundance of proximal silicic volcanic rocks (in the hanging wall at ELi property). For more information, please refer to the National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") Technical Report: Eli Sedimentary Hosted Lithium Deposit, Nye & Eureka Counties, Nevada on SEDAR+.
During Q4 2022, POWR completed a detailed mapping project over the ELi property which focused on understanding the surficial exposure of claystone on the property to provide a clearer understanding of exploration vectors and geological controls on mineralization. During this mapping, a larger sample was collected at the ELi site for metallurgical studies.
To increase the understanding of the clay types on the ELi property, POWR engaged ActLabs to complete a clay speciation study on the property. The X-Ray Diffraction results provided mineral abundances and detailed clay speciation that were used to support metallurgy work. The Company initiated bench scale metallurgy test work through its partnership with MDS Technical Corp. and their initial review indicates that the sample represents a mineralogical blend specifically suitable to their patented process that aims to leach, concentrate, and purify lithium from claystone, with the ultimate objective of producing battery grade lithium carbonate.
At present, substantive exploration work is neither budgeted nor planned. As a result, on August 31, 2024, the Company impaired the property and recognized impairment loss on this asset of $127,499.
Halo Project
On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into an option agreement with Halo Lithium LLC (the "Optionor") to acquire a 100% interest in 98 mineral claims located in Esmeralda and Nye Counties, Nevada, (the "Halo Project"). The option agreement requires a series of cash payments, reimbursement of expenses and share consideration as follows:
- $319,914 (US$250,000) cash, $97,917 (US$76,518) reimbursement of expenses, and 1,865,269 common shares of the Company payable within five days of the effective date of the agreement (fully paid and issued). The fair value of this first tranche of shares was measured as $1,212,425 based on a $0.65 per share market price on the date of issuance.
- $264,400 (US$200,000) cash and 1,250,000 common shares of the Company payable on or before August 4, 2023 (fully paid and issued). The fair value of this second tranche of shares was measured as $268,750 based on a $0.215 per share market price on the date of issuance.
- US$200,000 cash and 500,000 common shares of the Company payable on or before August 4, 2024.
Pursuant to the Halo Project option agreement, the Company incurred finder's fees requiring the issuance of common shares ("Finder's fee shares") in separate tranches as follows:
- 118,406 common shares due within five days of August 4, 2022 (issued).
- 75,000 common shares and common shares equal to US$12,000 due on August 4, 2023 (issued).
- 30,000 common shares and common shares equal to US$12,000 due on August 4, 2024.
POWR LITHIUM CORP.
Management's Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024
The fair value of the first tranche of the Finder's fee shares was measured as $76,964 based on the $0.65 per share market price on the date of issuance. The fair value of the second tranche of the Finder's fee shares was measured at $33,936 based on the $0.215 per share market price on the date of issuance.
The Company did not fulfill their cash and share consideration scheduled for August 4, 2024. As a result, the option agreement has been terminated. As at August 31, 2024, the Company recognized impairment loss on this asset of $2,274,306 (August 31, 2023 - $nil).
The Halo Project consisted of 98 claims totalling 819 hectares (2,024 acres) and was located 6km northwest of Tonopah within Big Smoky Valley on the boundary of Nye and Esmeralda Counties. The project was south of American Lithium's TLC project and north of American Battery Technology Tonopah Flats project. The nearby regional centre of Tonopah offers ready access to skilled labour, electricity, and transport logistics.
During Q4 2022, the Company completed a preliminary prospecting program on the property that included reconnaissance and minor sampling/mapping. The Company engaged consultants Mira Geoscience and Axiom Exploration Group to start planning a geophysics program at Halo with the aim of better understanding the surficial cover, claystone depth and depth to basement. The field work portion of the geophysics program was completed in early 2023. The interpretation and modeling of the collected data was completed by Mira Geoscience. The Company enlisted Westland Engineering & Environmental Services to start the drill permitting process.
Drilling permit was granted by the Bureau of Land Management on September 1, 2023 and is good for two years. POWR paid the required surface reclamation bond of US$16,605, which was accepted by the Bureau of Land Management on Sept 11, 2023.
The disclosure of the above geological information in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Anna Hicken, P. Geo, a consultant for the Company and a Qualified Person ("QP") for the purposes of NI 43-101. The metallurgical and processing information in this MD&A has been provided to the Company by MDS Technical Corp.
On October 11, 2023, POWR engaged Falcon Drilling for a planned 3,300ft (~1,000m) diamond drilling campaign. This fiscal 2024 drilling program started on October 31, 2023 and was completed on November 13, 2023. The company completed 884 meters in 4 HQ core holes across the project area. Hole depths ranged from 153.6 to 245.4 metres and all holes traversed a thick sequence of finely laminated claystone and siltstone. Logging, cutting and sampling were conducted by POWR's technical team at their logging facility in Tonopah. A total of 490 samples (including internal QAQC) were retrieved by American Assay Laboratories and delivered to their analytical facilities in Sparks, Nevada.
The geological information disclosure relating to the fiscal 2024 drilling program in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Robert Johansing, P. Geo, a consultant for the Company and a QP for the purposes of NI 43-101.
Notes:
All sampling completed by POWR within the exploration program are subject to a company standard of internal quality control and quality assurance programs which include the insertion of certified reference materials, blank materials and pulp duplicate analysis. All samples are sent to American Assay Labs located in Reno, Nevada where they are processed for lithium analysis by ICP-SAM48. American Assay Labs quality systems conform to requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and meets assay requirements outlined for NI 43-101. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results.
Surface claystone samples are selective in nature and may not represent the true grade or style of mineralization across the entire property.
Laroque Lake Project
On October 10, 2024, the Company entered into a property option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in mineral claims located in Laroque Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada (the "Laroque Lake Project"). On July 1, 2025, the Company amended the agreement for the timing of exploration expenditure and paid cash of $5,000 upon execution.

Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024
Net loss and comprehensive loss decreased to $87,818 compared to $247,607 in the prior year comparable period. The primary drivers of the decrease in net loss were as follows:
- Consulting and management fees decreased to $20,250 compared to $59,250 in the prior year comparable period due to the termination of several consulting engagements.
- General and administrative decreased to $2,509 compared to $46,609 in the prior year comparable period due to the termination of administrative services rendered by an advisor and rent expense incurred in relation to this agreement.
- Marketing decreased to $2,754 compared to $119,217 in the prior year comparable period due to the termination of several marketing engagements. In Q3 2024, marketing costs were focused on investor relations activities after engaging Stride Marketing in October 2023.
Partially offsetting the decrease in the net loss was an increase in legal and professional fees to $49,334 from $19,731 in the prior year comparable period due to expenses related to the private placement completed in April 2025. In addition, there was an increase in share-based compensation to $1,298 due to options and RSU's vesting during the period from a recovery of $5,453 related to the expiry of 100,000 unvested RSUs in the prior year comparable period.
YTD 2025 compared to YTD 2024
Net loss and comprehensive loss decreased to $303,224 compared to $2,805,563 in the prior year comparable period. The primary drivers of the decrease in net loss were as follows:
- Consulting and management fees decreased to $69,750 compared to $228,084 in the prior year comparable period due to the termination of several consulting engagements in the current period.
- Exploration and evaluation expenditures decreased to $5,704 compared to $457,021 in the prior year comparable period due to a curtailment of exploration activities while the Company secures new financing. Drilling activities were undertaken at the Halo Project during the prior year comparable period.
- General and administrative decreased to $6,308 compared to $150,337 in the prior year comparable period due to the termination of administrative services rendered by an advisor and rent in relation to this agreement.
- Marketing decreased to $8,159 compared to $761,375 in the prior year comparable period due to the termination of several marketing engagements in the current period. During the prior year comparable period, the Company incurred marketing costs of $735,000 to an arms-length digital marketing company over a term of six months.
- Share-based compensation decreased to $47,415 compared to $1,055,699 in the prior year comparable period due to fewer options and RSU's vesting during the current period compared to the prior year comparable period.

POWR LITHIUM CORP.
Management's Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024
The loss and comprehensive loss for each quarter is the result of management decisions to pursue various general exploration and marketing activities combined with available funds to pursue these activities. The increase in the total assets and working capital during Q3 2025 is a result of the $204,500 private placement completed in April 2025. The quarterly trend in total assets and working capital is primarily driven by movements in cash balances due to the Company's financing and operating activities. ELi Property and Halo Project were both impaired during Q4 2024, resulting in an impairment loss of $2,401,805, thereby increasing net loss and comprehensive loss. The increase in loss and comprehensive loss for Q2 2024 is a result of the share-based compensation expense of $401,627 due to the periodic vesting of stock options and restricted share and the exploration expenses of $111,762 from Halo Project. The increase in loss and comprehensive loss for Q1 2024 is a result of the share-based compensation expense of $659,525 due to the periodic vesting of stock options and restricted share units from the private placement completed in September 2023 and the exploration expenses of $345,259 from Halo Project. There was an increase in the total assets and working capital during Q1 2024 that is a result of the $2,000,000 private placement completed in September 2023 which were then expensed on corporate and exploration activities.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN
As at May 31, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $366,727 (August 31, 2024 - $303,879).
In order to continue as a going concern and to meet its corporate objectives, which primarily consist of investigating new potential properties and exploration work on those potential properties, the Company will require additional financing through debt or equity issuances or other available means. Although the Company has previously been successful in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. Factors that could affect the availability of financing include the progress and exploration results of the mineral properties, the state of international debt, equity and metals markets, and investor perceptions and expectations.
The Company's financial statements do not include adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024
SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS AND SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The Company applied the same significant judgements in applying its accounting policies and is exposed to the same sources of estimation uncertainty as disclosed in Note 4 of the Company's audited financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023.
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
The Company's Annual Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB and IFRIC, effective as of August 31, 2024. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 of the Company's Annual Financial Statements for the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023.
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for future accounting periods which are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. During the year ended August 31, 2024, the Company adopted new accounting standards which are described in Note 3 of the Company's audited financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023.
As disclosed in Note 3 of the Financial Statements, during the nine months ended May 31, 2025, the Company adopted the following amendment to IAS 1:
Classification of liabilities as current or non-current - amendments to IAS 1
The amendments to IAS 1 specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
- What is meant by a right to defer settlement
- That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
- That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
- That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification
In addition, an entity is required to disclose when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity's right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months. The amendments have not had an impact on the classification of the Company's liabilities.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, reclamation bond, and accounts payables and accrued liabilities. The Company's financial assets and liabilities are classified as and measured at amortized cost. The carrying values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company's risk exposures on financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty fails to meet an obligation under contract. Credit risk exposure arises with respect to the Company's cash. The Company's credit risk exposure is not considered significant as it places its cash with financial institutions of high credit worthiness within Canada, and the reclamation bond is held with the Bureau of Land Management.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. As the Company's operations do not generate cash, financial liabilities are discharged using funding through the issuance of common shares or debt as required. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk through its accounts payable and accrued liabilities. As at May 31, 2025, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $366,727 (August 31, 2024 - $303,879). Management mitigates this risk by monitoring its cash position. As the Company does not have sufficient cash to fund its current obligations, it will need to raise additional proceeds in the form of debt or equity financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing on terms that are acceptable to the Company or at all. Liquidity risk is therefore assessed as high.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. The Company is not significantly exposed to market risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company's is not exposed to interest rate risk as the Company has no financial instruments that are subject to variable interest rates.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that it has monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (US$).
A summary of the Company's financial liabilities that are denominated in US$ and expressed in Canadian dollars is as follows:
| May 31, 2025 | August 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | - | 1,084 |
Given the amounts noted, the Company is currently not exposed to foreign exchange risk.
OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA
A summary of the number of the Company's issued and outstanding equity instruments is as follows:
| May 31, 2025 | MD&A Date | |
|---|---|---|
| # | # | |
| Common shares | 56,365,052 | 56,365,052 |
| Warrants | 9,907,653 | 9,907,653 |
| Stock options | 2,060,000 | 2,060,000 |
| Restricted share units | 450,000 | 450,000 |
