Description of Business

ProAm Explorations Corporation is a junior mineral and oil and natural gas exploration and development company. The Company operates in Canada and the United States. Mineral exploration is currently focused in the USA Canada while little oil and natural gas activity has been pursued.

The Company, as a junior Exploration Company, has been putting its emphasis on mineral properties as economic conditions in natural gas markets have been unsettled.

We anticipate doing a additional a geophysical survey on of the Nevada Jet property given the indications provided by the test survey recently concluded.

With current copper and nickel prices we are considering doing some geophysical work on the Samuel Lake property if circumstances allow.

The Company recently announced a private placement of some \$300,000 placing 6,000,000 units at \$0.06 per unit. Each unit comprises one share and one 2 year purchase warrant exercisable at \$0.12 per share.

The Company applied for and received a CEBA loan of \$40,000.00 in 2020. On the extension and increase in the facility subsequently in 2021 the applied for and received the extension amount of \$20,000.00 for total CEBA extension of \$60,000.00

Mineral Properties

Samuel Lake Project

Samuel Lake Property: Pursuant to certain agreements, the Company owns an undivided 100% interest, subject to a 2.5% NSR, in certain claims comprising the Samuel Lake Property.

Nevada, USA Jet Property

In 2018 the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire an undivided 100% interest subject to 2.5% NSR, in certain claims comprising the Jet Property, located in Elko County, Nevada.

Jet property – Nevada – Historical exploration activity results

ProAm Explorations Corp. has partially outlined 4 significant areas of Ag, Ba, Cu, Pb, Zn, Sb and F mineralization in the Lead Mine Hills area 24 km (16 miles) south of West Wendover, Nevada . From north to south the four areas are referred to as the Fluorite Quarry, Barite Hill, Emma, and Jet properties, all of which warrant further exploration..

The geology in this area shows intense faulting and brecciation related to the development of the basin and range terrane in Nevada. The mineralization is related to hydrothermal fluids emanating from an adjacent Oligocene alkaline granitic stock and dykes which intrude Paleozoic limestones, dolomites and sandstones percolating through the faulting and brecciation.

The mineralization consists largely of carbonates, for example the lead carbonate Cerussite (PbCO3), Smithsonite (ZnCO3), and Malachite ( $\text{Cu}_2\text{CO}_3(\text{OH})_2$ and Azurite Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2, and sulphates like the barium sulphate, Barite (BaSO4). Silver minerals have not yet been identified but these minerals are all amenable to metallurgical separation.

Grab sampling by ProAm geologists show marked enrichment of the above mineralization; several showing percent values as shown in the accompanying table. These minerals are also electrically non-conductive and no conductive sulphides have been mapped thus far, but there are indications of electrical (Induced Polarization) anomalies at depths of 250-300 metres (820-1000 feet). The results of the geophysical survey are shown in the attached report.

From work done in 2018, the Fluorite Quarry, Barite Hill-Emma and Jet properties are associated with 3 gravimetric anomalies indicating a significant presence of dense minerals. The source of the gravity anomaly at the Fluorite Quarry, drilled in 2020 to a shallow depth of 76.2 metres (250 feet), remains unqualified.

The gravity anomaly at Barite Hill was selected for further definition on a test basis to develop essential tools needed for further exploration. Accordingly, magnetic and electrical induced polarization (IP) surveys were profiled along the previously conducted gravity survey Line 4.

The magnetic survey detected contacts of different rock types, and structures, presumably in the Precambrian basement rocks in 2 profiles. There are trace amounts of magnetite in the Oligocene dyke rocks and one can also interpret them in the magnetic profiles. From examination of stratigraphic sections in the area, the basement may be as deep as $3-5,000$ feet (914.4 – 1,524 metres), but the surface manifestations of shallower mineralization are Proam's immediate focus.

The IP survey profile noted better conductivity at depths of 250 to 300 metres. One conductivity anomaly, coincides with the surface geochemical and gravity anomalies but does not preclude a mineral deposit at a shallower depth.

ProAm's working thesis has these minerals forming from circulating hydrothermal fluids related to Oligocene granitic magmatism and plating out as four or more Manto style ore deposits, when those fluids are neutralized by Paleozoic limestones and dolomites.

The geological content herein has been approved by D.L.Trueman, Ph.D, P. Geo who is a qualified person acting under the NI 43-101 guidelines.

The Company is currently in the planning stage of conducting a geophysical survey on the Jet Property anticipated to consist of 48 line km of magnetic gradiometer surveying. It is anticipated that the survey will locate possible drill targets at depth which may account for the significant assay results of surface sampling and mapping.

Samuel Lake History and future expectation of activity

This property is located near Atikokan, Ontario and this area has excellent services.

Samuel Lake is prospect upon which some 30 exploratory holes have drilled by a combination of the Company and Teck. The mineralization is primarily nickel, copper, cobalt and PGMs (See table below). Whilst Samuel Lake has seen positive exploration its sister lakes, Whelan, Harnett and Surprise, in the immediate vicinity have only been subject to surface sampling and analysis as well as an airborne survey. With copper (4.25 +lb), Nickel (7.25+lb), Cobalt (25K -30K MT) and PGM hanging in there this property deserves additional attention in the coming months.

The company has updated the geochemistry and geophysical data which was initially collected in 1998, at the time of the original discovery.

In August of 1998 prospectors discovered and sampled the area. One sample assayed 10.3 $g/t$ platinum + palladium + gold, while eight other averaged 4.3 $g/t$ platinum + palladium + gold, with significant values in copper and nickel.

Work conducted at Samuel Lake consisted of grid controlled geological mapping, geochemical sampling, trenching, magnetometer, and Horizontal Loop Electro-Magnetic (HLEM) geophysical surveys over the claim area. The ground geophysics identified a 300m long HLEM conductor and associated magnetic anomaly under Samuels Lake.

Diamond drilling targeted HLEM conductor under the lake was carried out March to October of 1999 for an aggregate total of 2,747.6 meters of NQ core in twelve drill holes. Drill holes SM 99-5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11 were subsequently used to carry out downhole Crone Pulse EM Surveys which identified three significant off hole conductors.

In 2000 Fugro geophysics conducted an airborne EM survey over Samuel Lake and the 3 adjacent lakes. The adjacent lakes display aeromagnetic signatures like that of Samuel Lake. Each of these adjacent lakes have multiple conductive features which have never been drilled. Their lithology, when their chemistry is investigated, are common to Samuel Lake.

Geophysical surveys of the Samuel Lake property have been conducted by Mtec Geophysics in 1999, Fugro Airborne Surveys in 2000, Empluse Geophysics in 2005, and Teck Corporation in 2007. The Fugro AEM survey of 2000 included Whalen, Harnett, and Surprise Lake anomalies as well as Samuel lake.

Although the Companies resources are currently consumed working on the Jet property in Nevada current copper and nickel prices mandate that further exploration of Samuel Lake and surrounds will also occur.

Oil and Natural gas

Natural ga prices have improved with futures currently running around the \$5.00 providing well head prices between \$3.00 and \$4.00 compared to \$1.50 in the recent years

Elder's Ridge Natural gas property

OSEC Petroleum Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, has a 100% working interest in 42 wells and a 50% working interest an additional well in this Appalachian natural gas field in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. These wells have been shut-in since late 2014 due to pipeline issues. Discussions are ongoing with a different pipeline to allow the natural gas from this property to be marketed. Further Shell Oil expects to complete a "cracker" facility in near future which will change the demand for natural gas in the immediate area. The economics of gas at recent prices have not been sufficient to induce pipelines to expand gathering systems in this immediate area. The Company remains confident that the natural gas that remains in the ground is and will be a valuable asset.

Oil and Natural Gas Production and Exploration

Indiana County, Pennsylvania

OSEC Petroleum Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, has a 100% working interest - 75% net revenue interest in 41 non-producing oil wells in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. These wells have been shut-in since late 2014 due to pipeline issues. Discussions are ongoing with a different pipeline to allow the natural gas from this property to be marketed.

Arkansas

The Company has a 10.1% working interest a well in Logan County Arkansas.

Oklahoma

The Company has a 10.2% working interest a well.

Ohio

The Company has two producing natural gas wells in Ohio.

Okotoks, Alberta, Canada

Two wells, which are currently on production, are referred to as Okotoks 5-15-22-28W4 and Okotoks 6-15-22-28W4. The spacing units allow for two additional wells which await a better market environment.

There is significant price leverage associated with holding if as and when the pricing of natural gas improves

Results of Operations For the period ended September 30 2021 the Company reported a loss of \$843compared to a loss of \$83,306 for the period ended September 30, 2020.

Production revenue of \$43,332 was recorded during the period ended September 30, 2021 compared to \$19,971 recorded for the period ended September 30, 2020.

General and administrative expenses of \$46,762 (2020 - \$79,250) were recorded for the period ended September 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had a working capital of \$14,337 excluding amounts due to related parties and cash on hand of \$21,815 at September 30, 2021. This compares to a working capital of \$22,790 and cash on hand of \$45,582 at December 31, 2020.

Other information relating to the company's oil and natural gas reserves may be viewed on the Sedar website on which a 51-101 compliant report entitled "Statement of Reserve Data and Other Oil and Gas Information" is posted.

Related Party Transactions

No related party transactions occurred in the comparative periods other than advances for working capital.

These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties, unless otherwise noted.

Risk, Uncertainties and Outlook

The business of mineral deposit exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored ultimately become producing mines. At present, none of the Company's properties has a known commercial ore deposit. Other risks facing the Company include competition for mineral and oil and natural properties, environmental and insurance risks, fluctuations in metal prices, fluctuations in exchange rates, share price volatility and uncertainty of additional financing.

Management is aware that material uncertainties exist, related to current economic conditions, which could adversely affect the Company's ability to continue to finance its activities. Management's plan may include continuing to pursue additional sources of financing and reducing overhead costs. As a result of the implementation of this plan, the use of existing working capital and revenue from oil and gas interests, management expects that the Company will have sufficient capital to fund operations and keep its resource interests in good standing for the upcoming fiscal year. Further discussion of liquidity risk has been disclosed in the audited financial statements.

The audited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
