Subscriptions will be received subject to rejection or allocation in whole or in part and the Agent reserves the right to close the subscription books at any time without notice. The Closing of the Offering (the “ Closing ”) is expected to occur within 90 days from the date of the receipt for the final Prospectus or such other date as the Company and the Agent may agree (the “ Closing Date ”). If the Closing Date does not occur within 90 days from the date of the receipt for the final Prospectus, then the Offering will cease and all subscription monies will be returned to purchasers without interest or deduction, unless the purchasers have otherwise instructed the Agent. Except for certain of the Shares which will be issued in physical certificated form, the Shares will be deposited with CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or its nominee (“ CDS ”) in electronic form on the Closing Date through the non-certificated inventory system administered by CDS. A purchaser of Shares will receive only a customer confirmation from the registered dealer from or through which the Shares are purchased and who is a CDS depository service participant. CDS will record the CDS participants who hold Shares on behalf of owners who have purchased Shares in accordance with the book-based system. See “ Plan of Distribution ”.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Except for statements of historical fact relating to the Company, certain statements in this Prospectus may constitute forward-looking information, future oriented financial information, or financial outlooks (collectively, “ forward-looking information ”) within the meaning of Canadian securities laws. Forwardlooking information may relate to this Prospectus, the Company’s future outlook and anticipated events or results and, in some cases, can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “projects”, “predict”, “potential”, “targeted”, “possible”, “continue” or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts and include, but are not limited in any manner to, the Company’s opportunities, strategies, competition, expected activities and expenditures as the Company pursues its business plan, the adequacy of the Company’s available cash resources and other statements about future events or results and those with respect to commodity prices, mineral resources, mineral reserves, realization of mineral reserves, existence or realization of mineral resource estimates, the timing and amount of future production, the timing of construction of any proposed mine and process facilities, capital and operating expenditures, the timing of receipt of permits, rights and authorizations, and any and all other timing, development, operational, financial, economic, legal, regulatory and political factors that may influence future events or conditions, as such matters may be applicable. In particular, this Prospectus contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the following:

  • Proposed expenditures for exploration work, and general and administrative expenses (see: “ Description of the Business – “ Use of Proceeds “ for further details);

  • Expectations generally regarding completion of this Offering and the ability to raise further capital for corporate purposes and the utilization of the net proceeds of the Offering; and

  • Treatment under applicable governmental regimes for permitting and approvals (see: “ Risk Factors “).

Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including, but not limited in any manner to, those disclosed elsewhere herein and in any other of the Company’s concurrent public filings, and include the ultimate determination of mineral reserves, if any, the availability and final receipt of required approvals, licenses and permits, sufficient working capital to conduct future exploration activities, access to adequate services and supplies, economic conditions, commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, access to capital and debt markets and associated costs of funds, availability of a qualified work force that exploration timetables and capital costs for the Company’s exploration plans are not incorrectly estimated or affected by unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions, that any environmental and other proceedings or disputes are satisfactorily resolved, and that the Company maintains its ongoing relations with its business partners and governmental authorities. While the Company considers these material factors and assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. Actual results may vary from such forward-looking information for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to risks and uncertainties disclosed in this Prospectus. See “ Risk Factors “. Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future-looking information. Such factors include, among others, that the Company has a limited operating history, resource exploration and development is a speculative business, the Company may lose or abandon its interest in the Property (as defined herein), the Property is in the exploration stage and is without known bodies of commercial ore, the Company may not be able to obtain all necessary permits and approvals that may be required to undertake exploration activity or comment construction or operation of mine facilities on any of its properties, environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous, the Company’s ability to raise additional funds by equity financing and the fluctuating price of metals, as well as the other factors discussed in the section of this Prospectus entitled “ Risk Factors “. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that cause actual actions, events or results to different materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements

2

are based upon management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and, other than as required by law, the Company does not intend, and undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking information to reflect, among other things, new information or future events.

For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. This Prospectus includes many cautionary statements, including those stated under the heading “ Risk Factors “. You should read these cautionary statements as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Prospectus.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

NAME AND INCORPORATION

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on April 9, 2021, under the name Questcorp Mining Inc. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 2200, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8. The Company’s head office is located at Suite 250, 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T7. The Company is engaged in the exploration of mineral properties in Canada. See “ Description of the Business “.

INTERCORPORATE RELATIONSHIPS

The Company has no subsidiaries.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

The principal business carried on and intended to be carried on by the Company is the exploration of mineral resources on the Company’s principal Property, being the North Island Copper Property, which is in the exploration stage.

PRODUCTION AND SERVICES

The Company is in the exploration stage and does not mine, produce or sell any mineral products at this time, nor does its Property have any known or identified mineral resources or mineral reserves. The Company’s principal product under exploration is copper.

As the Company is an exploration stage company with no producing properties, it has no current operating income, cash flow or revenues. The Company has not undertaken any current resource estimate on the North Island Copper Property. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the North Island Copper Property. The Company does not expect to receive income from the North Island Copper Property within the foreseeable future.

SPECIALIZED SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE

Various aspects of the Company’s business require specialized skills and knowledge. Such skills and knowledge include areas of exploration and development, geology, drilling, permitting, metallurgy, logistical planning, accommodation and implementation of exploration programs, as well as legal compliance, finance and accounting. The Company expects to rely upon consultants and others for exploration and development expertise. The Company does not anticipate any difficulties in locating competent employees and consultants in such fields.

COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS

The mineral exploration and mining industry is competitive in all phases of exploration, development and production. The Company competes with a number of other entities and individuals in the search for and the acquisition of attractive mineral properties as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees. As a result of this competition, the majority of which is with companies with greater financial resources and technical facilities than the Company, the Company may not be able to acquire attractive properties in the future on terms it considers acceptable. Finally, the Company competes for investment capital with other resource companies, many of whom have greater financial resources and/or more advanced properties that are better able to attract equity investment and other capital. The ability of the Company to acquire attractive mineral properties in the future depends not only on its success in exploring and developing its present properties, but also on its ability to select, acquire and bring to production suitable properties or prospects for exploration, mining and development. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of minerals mined or discovered by the Company.

10

CYCLES

The Company’s mineral exploration activities may be subject to seasonality due to adverse weather conditions including, without limitation, inclement weather, snow covering the ground, frozen ground and restricted access due to snow, ice or other weather-related factors.

ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE

The Company is dependent on the Option Agreement. In the event that the Option Agreement is terminated the Company would lose all of its right and interest to the North Island Copper Property. See “ Description of the BusinessThe Option Agreement “ for additional information on the Option Agreement.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

All aspects of the Company’s field operations will be subject to environmental regulations and generally will require approval by appropriate regulatory authorities prior to commencement. Any failure to comply could result in fines and penalties. With the North Island Copper Property at the exploration stage, the financial and operational impact of environmental protection requirements is minimal. Should the North Island Copper Property advance to the production stage, then more time and money would be involved in satisfying environmental protection requirements.

EMPLOYEES

The Company does not have any employees and intends to utilize consultants to carry on most of its activities and, in particular, to supervise certain work programs on its Property.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

The Company does not have any foreign operations.

HISTORY

On October 4, 2021, the Company entered into the Option Agreement whereby the Company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to four non-surveyed mineral claims totaling 1,168.09 hectares comprising the North Island Copper Property, subject only to the Project NSR.

To fund its exploration activities and to provide working capital, the Company has relied on the sale of Common Shares from treasury.

Since incorporation, the Company has raised gross proceeds of $402,750 privately through the sale of its Common Shares by way of private placements (see “ Prior Sales “). The Company intends to raise additional funding under the Offering to carry out additional exploration of the North Island Copper Property as set out in the section entitled “ Use of Proceeds “.

THE OPTION AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Vendors granted the Company the right and an option to acquire a 100% interest in the North Island Copper Property, which consists of four non-surveyed mineral claims totaling 1,168.09 hectares. The Property is located within the Nanaimo Mining Divisions of British Columbia. In order to earn its interest in the North Island Copper Property, subject to the Project NSR, the Company is required to complete the following:

  • (1) to acquire a 51% interest in the North Island Copper Property, the Company shall pay $10,000 (paid) to Rich River Exploration Ltd. upon the effective date of the Option Agreement (the “ Stage 1 Option Consideration ”);

  • (2) to acquire the remaining 49% interest in the North Island Copper Property, the Company shall: (i) pay a total of $85,000 to Rich River Exploration Ltd.; (ii) issue a total of 2,200,000 Common Shares to Rich River Exploration Ltd.; and (iii) spend a total of $500,000 on

11

exploration expenditures on the North Island Copper Property (the “ Stage 2 Option Consideration ”), as set out below:

  • (a) the Company shall issue the Common Share portion of the Stage 2 Option Consideration as follows:

  • (i) 2,000,000 Common Shares upon the Listing Date;

  • (ii) 100,000 Common Shares on or before the first anniversary of the Listing Date;

  • (iii) 50,000 Common Shares on or before the second anniversary of the Listing Date; and

  • (iv) 50,000 Common Shares on or before third anniversary of the Listing Date,

  • (b) the Company shall pay the cash portion of the Stage 2 Option Consideration as follows:

  • (i) $10,000 upon the Listing Date;

  • (ii) $10,000 on or before the first anniversary of the Listing Date;

  • (iii) $5,000 on or before the second anniversary of the Listing Date; and

  • (iv) $60,000 on or before the third anniversary of the Listing Date,

  • (c) the Company shall make the required Stage 2 Option Consideration exploration expenditures on the North Island Copper Property according to the following schedule:

  • (i) $80,000 on or before the first anniversary of the Listing Date;

  • (ii) $100,000 on or before the second anniversary of the Listing Date; and

  • (iii) $320,000 on or before the third anniversary of the Listing Date.

The Option Agreement grants the Company an option only. The Company is, therefore, not obligated to meet any of the above option obligations in the event that it chooses to terminate the Option Agreement and abandon the North Island Copper Property for any reason. The Company, or its designate, shall be the operator of the Property during the term of the Option Agreement. Monkey Dragon Metals Corp., a company at arms-length to the Company, shall be the primary exploration contractor of the Property, when possible.

The Option Agreement also provides that the Project NSR of 3.0% is payable to the Vendors on all base, rare earth elements and precious metals produced from the Property. The Company may purchase the first 1% of the Project NSR for $750,000 and may purchase the remaining 2% of the Project NSR for an additional $1,000,000.

THE NORTH ISLAND COPPER PROPERTY

The following represents information summarized from the Technical Report on the Property by the Author, Hardolph Wasteneys, Ph.D., P.Geo., a Qualified Person, prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101. A complete copy of the Technical Report is available for review, in colour, on the Company’s profile on SEDAR located at the following website: www.sedar.com. Alternatively, the Technical Report may be inspected during normal business hours at the Company’s head office at Suite 250, 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T7.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION, LOCATION AND ACCESS

The North Island Copper Property claim consists of four non-surveyed mineral claims totaling 1,168.09 hectares centered at latitude: 50° 28’ 15” N, longitude: 127° 38’ 51” W, NAD 83 datum, UTE Zone 9, 607423 E, 5610722 N, in the NTS map sheets 92 L/11 and 12, BCGS Map 092L.065 in the Nanaimo Mining Division

The North Island Copper Property claims are listed in the British Columbia Mineral Titles On-line system, the boundaries of which are predetermined by geographically defined cells conforming to a provincial mineral titles grid system. Neither the claims nor the Property boundary have been surveyed or marked on the ground, nor is this required for resolution of Property issues. The individual claims and the outside Property boundary are shown on a physiographic map in Figure 3. All UTM coordinates referred to in the Report are in the North American Datum of 1983 (“NAD 83”) and in UTM Zone 9.

To maintain a claim in good standing the claim holder must, on or before the anniversary date of the claim, pay the prescribed recording fee and either: (a) record the exploration and development work carried out on that claim during the current anniversary year; or (b) pay cash in lieu of work. The amount of work required in years one and two is $5 per hectare per year, years three and four is $10 per hectare, years five and six is $15 per hectare, and $20 per hectare for each subsequent year. Only work and associated costs for the current anniversary year of the mineral claim may be applied toward that claim unit. If the value of work performed in any year exceeds the required minimum, the value of the excess work can be applied, in full year multiples, to cover work requirements for that claim for additional years (subject to the regulations). A report detailing work done and expenditures must be filed with, and approved by, the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines.

For advanced exploration work, Notice of Work (NOWs) applications will be necessary to permit future mechanically assisted exploration (diamond drilling, trenching, etc.) and certain types of geophysical surveys (IP). The Property is underlain by Crown land with no known adverse claims to mineral rights, including by aboriginal groups. However, aboriginal rights and land title are complex and evolving areas of liability for resource projects throughout British Columbia and proponents of projects are advised to consult with and maintain relations with local indigenous groups.

The current and previous mineral tenures were all staked after the expiry of previous claims, and, thus, there are no inherited royalty or net smelter returns attached to the Property except as provided in the Option Agreement between the Company and the Vendors, which is further discussed below. The Author is unaware of any significant factors or risks, besides what is noted in the technical report, which may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform work on the North Island Copper Property.

The main access to the North Island Copper Property is via the Vancouver Island Highway 19 to a series of branch highways and logging roads west of Port Hardy that lead to Coal Harbour on Rupert Inlet. The southern access is via R400 from its intersection with the Island Highway about 15 kilometers south of Port Hardy. R400 leads to R440 at about 2 km west of the highway, from which some current logging roads lead north into the eastern claims. R440 terminates at Port Hardy Main, at a point a few kilometers south of the claims, and leads to a deactivated logging road that runs north into the center of the eastern block. R400 itself is inactive but leads to a point on the north side of the eastern claims where a footbridge connects with deactivated sections of the Doreen Lake road running along the north side of the claims and connecting with older roads that run south through the Rainbow showing area.

From the north near Port Hardy the Coal Harbour Road runs south between the eastern and western blocks of the claims and connects with Port Hardy Main for access to the roads described above, as well as Quatse Main on the wet, which accesses the western block of claims.

HISTORY

Mineral exploration on Vancouver Island dates back to the late 1800s, but in the Rupert Inlet district around the North Island Copper Property it accelerated in the early 1960s after the discovery of the Island Copper porphyry copper-gold deposit. The North Island Copper Property, lies immediately north of the Island Copper Mine area. Parts of the Property were variously included in exploration efforts peripheral to the mine and the showings on the North Island Copper Property were discovered as a result of the activity on the Island Copper mine, and in some cases developed because of proximity to the mines operations. Numerous showings and small mineable deposits had previously been found in the region, but typically in higher relief areas with shallow glacial overburden. In 1962, a publicly released airborne magnetometer survey by the BC Geological Survey prompted staking of a magnetic anomaly in the vicinity of the Island Copper deposit, which was subsequently found to have a spatially-associated soil geochemical anomaly. Small diameter diamond drilling was used to explore the bedrock and eventually discover a significant enough body of mineralization to warrant a larger exploration and development program. After about 80 drill holes a significantly mineralized intersection was recovered which led to the development of the Island Copper porphyry copper ore body. Concurrent and ongoing exploration to the west, north of Holberg Inlet also led to the discover of other porphyry copper and epithermal type deposits in the Pemberton Hills west of Island Copper at Hushamu and Red Dog. The Island Copper Mine operated until closure in 1993.

Historical Exploration in the Eastern Sector of the Property

Early Days

Records of the earliest work in the area are summarized in the BC Ministry of Mines Annual Reports (BCMMAR) including those for 1959, 1963, 1968 and 1970.

In 1959, the south of the North Island Copper Property was trenched by Cominco who extracted 13 cubic yards of rock as reported in the BCMMAR for that year. John McAndrew, who later staked claims in the area and wrote several reports (McAndrew, 1989) was apparently involved in some of the early exploration work including trenching work by Anaconda Brass (AR 964) on the Cranberry showing which exposed copper mineralization for 120 ft along strike with sampled grades of 5%.

16

In 1963, the BCMMAR reported that the Port Hardy Copper Mines stripped a 10 acre area around the Rainbow Zone and drilled 3000 feet of core in 17 holes. There is no report of results from the drilling.

Silver City Petroleum, 1968

In 1968, Silver City Petroleum (BCMMAR, 1968) spent three months surveying parts of the Property around the Rainbow Zone showing and along Branch Road 6. They completed magnetometer and soil geochemical surveys through the area, but no results were reported.

Humphrey, 1966

Publicly available information on the North Island Copper Property in the form of geological assessment reports was not available until the advent of the Assessment Report Information System (ARIS) in the mid 1960s and the earliest of these specifically overlapping part of the Property is by Humphrey (1966) in Assessment Report number 894 in the BCGS ARIS system. The work consisted of a soil geochemical survey south of Port Hardy on the REEF 17-31 claims and 4, 5, 6 fractional claims underlain by Vancouver Group pyroclastics, flows, argillites and limestones, and granodioritic intrusion. Contact on the south side of the Reef property with Quatsino Limestone places the property near the southern limit of the current North Island Copper Property. Mineralization described in the report was noted to be north of the Reef claims and consisted of chalcopyrite-magnetite skarn. The survey occurred on the east side of the road to Port Alice and included 388 samples analyzed for copper generating a calculated background of 30 ppm and a maximum value of 130 ppm in one anomalous zone in the claims.

The mineralization referred to by Humphrey (1966) was probably some of the many skarn showings on the current Property, which appear to have been discovered and trenched in the mid- 1960s, but without any publicly available reports

Emperor Mines Ltd., 1968

An airborne magnetometer survey centered on Lat 50 39’ Long 127 35’ on 93L/12 covered an area of claims owned by Emperor Mines Ltd. (Emperor) called the Toe, Elk, Top, and Tip of about 5.5 by 4 miles (Cerne and Cochrane, 1968: AR1709). The claim area in the survey is adjacent to the north side of the NIC claims, but the survey overlap extended south onto the Property. Several anomalous zones were interpreted from the survey within Emperor’s claims. Northeast-trending faults and broad curvilinear northwest-trending magnetic structures were interpreted traversing both the Emperor claims and the Property.

Yellowknife Bear Mines Ltd., 1970

A ground magnetometer and a soil geochemical survey for copper and zinc were conducted by Yellowknife Bear Mines in 1969 and 1970 (Phelan, 1970: AR2381). Several skarn mineralized zones were located coinciding with both the magnetic highs and the copper anomalies. The old property corresponds to the central area of the NIC claims in the Rainbow showings area.

Maps of the copper in soils and magnetometer readings have been georeferenced approximately by the author (very few reference points exist on the old maps). Many of the known showings are identified by highly anomalous copper-in-soil samples from the survey. A few anomalous clusters of samples and a few individual high samples are not associated with showings and may be worthy of further exploration. The anomalous samples, above 100 ppm copper, have been digitized by the author and displayed in Figure 4 overlaid on the currently interpreted extent of limestone lenses within the upper Karmutsen Formation, and the eastern intrusive contact of the Quatse Lake Pluton. Contacts of the limestone lenses were originally shown in assessment reports by McAndrew (discussed below) and incorporated into the provincial geological maps base. These have been modified by the author in Figure 9 using new map data from the Property visit in November 2021.

The ground magnetometer survey recorded points at 100 foot spacings along lines 300 feet apart through the area, with 50 foot spacings near known showings. At the Rainbow showing, the eastern area of magnetite-rich skarn is highlighted by a few very high magnetometer readings while the more westerly skarns fall in a broad magnetic high. Interestingly, the band of marble-limestone that is mapped between

17

the Crook and Skid areas in the present work, registers as a broad magnetic high distinct from the surrounding Karmutsen basalts suggesting possibility of buried magnetite skarns. Historical showings within the Crook area were not located during the Property visit.

Cliff Claims, McAndrew, 1980

In 1980 John McAndrew (McAndrew, 1980: AR08284) acquired the Cliff claims and reported on the previous history of mineral occurrences, much of which had gone unreported, except in BC Minister of Mines Annual reports for various years, during exploration work by Utah Mines on the Island Copper Mine. The Cliff claims cover the area of the Frances and Rainbow showings north of Utah Mines Island Copper mining area and the central claims in the Property. McAndrew (1980) found that many of the showings had been blasted or trenched during the period from 1963 to 1964, which may explain their present state.

McAndrew (1980) completed field mapping at a scale of 1:1000 areas around the current Rainbow, Frances and South showings. He utilized existing geochemical and magnetometer maps and suggested there were geochemical and geophysical anomalies between Cranberry and the West showing worthy of investigation. His mapping shows Karmutsen Formation flows, fragmentals and poorly developed pillow lavas, and tuffs interbedded with flow and pillow breccias. Flows typically display amygdules with quartz, epidote, chlorite, and lesser calcite, pumpellyite and zeolites. Quartz diorite was mapped in vicinity of Rainbow showing 1 and along west side of Branch roads 6 and 7.

Amazon Claims, 1981

In the eastern part of the Property, a VLF and EM survey were conducted on the Amazon claims by Englund in 1981 (Englund 1981: AR9811). In addition, a small prospecting program found a showing, now called Amazon, located along a linear structure from which 5 rock samples were collected, two of which returned 3 and 4 % copper. This showing was examined in the present work.

18

Energex Minerals, 1981

In 1981 an airborne magnetometer and EM helicopter survey was flown for Energex Minerals on the Pick and Cliff claims on the east side of the Property in the area of the Rainbow and Cranberry showings, and the Pick claims near Quatse Lake overlapping some of the present NIC western area, which is largely in the Quatse Lake pluton (Sheldrake 1981: AR9853).

The results of the survey showed numerous anomalous conductive zones, but according to Sheldrake (1981), none could be interpreted as indicative of a significant massive sulphide body. All of the anomalous EM responses were considered indicative of low conductivity contrasts within the range of geological noise in the 918 Hz system frequency, although some could be inferred to be caused by disseminated mineralization. Major lithological contacts and intrusive bodies were inferred from the magnetic data. In the area north of Quatse Lake, Sheldrake (1981) recommended one conductive anomaly be explored for disseminated mineralization because of a coincident disturbance in the magnetic contours, but that zone is south of the present Property boundary. Conductivity anomalies were also interpreted in the vicinity of the Rainbow and Cranberry showings, but were considered as ambiguous indicators of mineralization.

Energex Minerals, Swamp Showing, 1982

In 1982 a small diamond drilling program was completed at the Swamp showing on the western end of the Cliff 78 claim (Darney et al., 1983: AR1 1407). The Swamp showing is located outside of the present Property in a single cell claim owned by Razzle Resources and enclosed by the Property on three sides, but its geology is similar to that of other showings to the east on the Property within the same stratigraphic level of the Karmutsen Formation that hosts marble and skarned limestone intervals.

Surface mapping by Energex identified marbled limestone, skarns, hornblende granodiorite and andesite dykes (Figure 5). Limestone forms an east-west trending ridge at the Swamp showing. The intrusive is medium-grained equigranular hornblende granodiorite that shows alteration along its border phases.

The diamond drilling program drilled 236 meters of core in 8 holes at the Swamp showing. One of the more successful drill sections is shown in Figure 5, where all three drill holes intersected mineralization which was interpreted as a folded structure. However, the holes were all relatively short and the section produced was only 20 meters deep. The three holes were collared in marbleized limestone and penetrated skarn mineralization with grades varying between 0.62 and 5.1% copper, and 0.6 to 11.3 % zinc. The lower contact of the skarn was with a two meter wide zone of altered granodiorite before ending in unaltered granodiorite. The other two drill sections were not as well mineralized.

McAndrew, Pick and Cliff Claims, 1988

The Pick and Cliff claim block located north of the Utah Mines Island Copper property roughly in the position of the eastern block of the present North Island Copper Property and east of the present Coal Harbour highway, and was modified from earlier claims described in the Energex report of 1981 (McAndrew, 1988). The work reported in McAndrew (1988: AR 17029.) is in the western part of the area described in McAndrew (1980); Sheldrake (1981), and Darney et al. (1983) and is mainly west of the southern, and south of the northern blocks of NIC claims.

The survey work included geological mapping, 170 soil samples, and ground magnetometer readings. Soil samples and ground magnetometer readings were collected at intervals along roads and a loose grid of north-south oriented cut lines. Several soil geochemical anomalies were delineated in various part of the survey area. Magnetic anomalies were generally classified by high readings alone and ascribed to potential for magnetite in skarns. Coincident geochemical and magnetic anomalies were considered to be high priority, but no confirmation was completed during the survey.

Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation basalt and andesite flows, massive Quatsino Formation limestone, Parsons Bay Formation argillaceous and carbonaceous sedimentary rocks, and Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group andesitic flows and breccias are intruded by Jurassic-Tertiary granodiorite, diorite and andesite. Skarn mineralization, containing chalcopyrite, bornite, sphalerite, galena, pyrite, magnetite and specularite, was observed along limestone contacts for over 2 kilometres. The mineralization strikes northeasterly,

19

usually has a shallow dip to the southeast and has been block faulted. Some faults may have served as channelways for mineralizing solutions.

The work was continued in 1989 and described in McAndrew (1989).

McAndrew, Pick and Cliff Claims, 1989

The main work reported by McAndrew (1989a: AR18238) consisted of soil sampling, ground magnetometer readings and descriptions and sampling of about 50 test pits many of which did not reach bedrock. In total 98 soil samples, 5200 meters of mag lines, and mapping of 9 claim units using 4 km of control lines were reported. The work consisted of test pits from 1988, half of which were dug in the area north of Branch Road 7 on the current Property and the other half to the west off the Property adjacent to the Coal Harbour Road. From this McAndrew inferred evidence of skarn mineralization near four of the test pits (88-4, 5, 6 and CF-101). Andesite dykes were inferred to be related to the skarn. The hornblende diorite at the Swamp showing was concluded to have caused the skarn in contact with limestone.

McAndrew’s report contained considerable speculation about grades and tonnages and feasibility of providing mill feed to Island Copper as well as contemplating possible occurrences indirectly inferred from geochemistry and geophysics.

The field work reported in AR18238 was continued between October 3 and November 1, 1989. No new significant findings were presented in McAndrew (1989b: AR 19423.)

Exploration associated with the Island Copper Mine

Agilis Exploration Services, 1968

In an area north of Rupert Inlet and 8 miles south of Port Hardy, Agilis Exploration conducted a geochemical survey on the Kol 1-47 and the Northeast Group consisting of the Bim, Tar, Ken, Bee, Car and Expo claims (Philp, 1968: AR1693). Northwest trending volcanics and sediments of Triassic age overlain by Cretaceous sediments, were observed in an area south of the Property. A 4000 ft baseline with cross lines at 100 ft intervals was cut in the Kol and a 6000 ft baseline and cross-lines on the NE group at various intervals and sample spacings. Soils were analyzed by AAS for copper lead and zinc. Several anomalous areas were revealed, but no follow-up work was reported.

Utah Mines Ltd., Central Group of Claims 1984

The Central Group of claims owned by Utah Mines were located directly north of the main Island Copper Mine and were explored during the mine development and mining era. The periphery of the Central Group overlapped with or was proximal to the present North Island Copper Property. In 1984 a series of reconnaissance IP surveys were conducted on 20 miles of logging roads using a dipole-dipole array with 200 ft dipole separation and measuring 4 separations from the current electrode (Clarke, 1984: AR1 30 0 9). Results were considered approximate as lines were not straight, but were sufficient to identify anomalies worthy of more precise work. Five anomalous zones were identified by the survey in the Central Group and are shown in Figure 7.

In addition a few lines, such as BR8 and MB in the north part of the Utah Mines Survey overlapping the Property had smaller anomalies such as Line BR8, which has a “pant leg” shaped resistivity anomaly at survey point 30W, and minor corresponding metal factor and chargeability. The line and anomaly are near the top of the Karmutsen Formation and contact with the Quatsino Limestone according to the existing regional geology maps. The area lacks outcrop and was not examined in any detail in the current work.

Utah Mines, Central Group of Claims Soil Survey, 1984

Using the same series of roads as the IP survey reported by Clarke (1984) a soil geochemical survey along them was conducted by Fleming (1984: AR13716), which reported several anomalous copper and molybdenum zones (2 high priority and 8 low). The overlap area of the survey is shown in Figure 8. A

21

copper-zinc geochemical anomaly classified as high priority was identified along the eastern section of the road. It was interpreted as related to the contact between Karmutsen basalts and overlying Quatsino Limestone and a probable indicator.

Figure 7: IP survey anomalies north of Island Copper Mine in the Central gp of claims

Five anomalous IP areas are all south of the Property and are highlighted in purple and labelled 84-1 to 84-5. The south-eastern sector of the Property is to the north but overlapped the ca. 1960 claims. The IP survey was conducted in a reconnaissance mode along roads with slight compensation for curvature. Anomalous areas are mainly within the Parson Bay formation sediments and the Bonanza Gp Nahwitti wacke. Tight contours of the Island Copper open pit are located in the bottom left on the north share of Holberg Inlet. Coloured geology overlay is current BCGS interpretation available as a GIS file and viewable on Mapplace.

Quatse Lake Area

Prospecting on the Marisa Mineral Claims

In 1991, the Marisa group of claims shown in Figure 14 relative to the Property, were explored by Bilquist and Dasler (1991: AR21581). The claims were in 4 main perimeter-staked blocks on overlapping the north side of the NIC Property (Figure 9). Marisa 1 and 2 overlap the western block of claims and Marisa 4 the east end of the eastern block. In the northwest the Marisa 1 claim corresponds to the area of the western Property north of Quatse Lake in the Quatse Lake pluton, and in the east the Marisa 3 includes the north part of the central area of the Property in Karmutsen Formation flows and interflow limestones, while Marisa 4 covers much of the eastern extent of the Property, also in Karmutsen Fm. The prospectors collected rock samples and soil samples between July 3 and 14, 1991. Terrain in the Quatse Lake area is moderate, but brush along creeks and log jams makes current traverses challenging.

In the Marisa 1 claims they discovered chalcopyrite and traces of molybdenite in the Quatse Lake diorite for 450 meters along the main stream. Pinkish felsic alteration was noted in places and interpreted either

22

as an indicator of potassic alteration or a zeolite. Geochemical soil profiles in the area did not reflect the mineralization noted in the creek. In the Marisa 2 and 3 claims Bilquist and Dasler (1991) found chalcopyrite in amygdules in basalt near the contact of the Quatse Lake diorite along with increased quartz, K-spar, and zeolite alteration.

Prospecting by Bilquist and Dasler also looked at the Little Joe showing (referred to as the Rainbow Showings by McAndrew (1989) and herein). Disseminated chalcopyrite was noted in the Karmutsen north of the Little Joe skarn occurrence along the southern boundary of Marisa 3.

This mineralization observed consisted of disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite in quartz-epidote filled amygdules. In the eastern most area of the Marisa 4 claims, corresponding to the eastern extent of the Property, minor chalcopyrite and malachite mineralization was found in and near epidote-quartz veins within shear zones.

Geophysics and Drilling on the Marissa Property, 1991

Following the prospecting work of Bilquist and Dasler (1991), the Marisa 1 claim, which corresponds to the NW part of the North Island Copper Property (Figure 7), was explored for porphyry copper mineralization in the Quatse Lake Pluton. An IP survey and 5 drill holes were completed on the Marisa 1 claim within the Quatse Lake diorite. Mineralization reported in the drill holes was generally low grade, but significant in a few holes, and the IP survey did not reveal any significant anomalous areas untested by drilling, but the full extent of the anomalous IP zone was not determined (Allen and Dasler, 1992: AR 22243). The geophysical survey was recommended to be extended to northeast and southeast to find the limits of the anomalous zone.

Details from the report by Allen and Dasler (1992) are of interest for further research and are summarized below: The survey included induced polarization and resistivity as well as a total field magnetometer survey. The aim of the geophysical surveys was to investigate chalcopyrite mineralization discovered in fine-grained diorite along a stream bed that cuts across the geophysical grid. Somewhat higher than background IP effects are detected underlying the entire southeastern half of the survey area, with the creek that exposes the copper mineralization striking across the northern region of the anomalous IP zone. This anomalous response is currently undefined in three directions. The southern portion of the IP zone correlates well with a distinctive magnetic anomaly attributable to widespread magnetite in the diorite and roughly coincident with higher than normal resistivity.

Five diamond drill holes, amounting to 376 meters of core, were completed in various parts of an induced polarization anomaly in the Quatse Lake pluton (Figure 10). All of the drill holes were reported by Allen and Dasler (1992) to have intersected at least traces of chalcopyrite mineralization, but diamond drill hole M921 intersected 16.2 meters grading 0.17% copper with significant copper values over its entire length. Diamond drill hole M92-2 was collared well within the area of anomalous IP effects (Figure 10), on the northeastern flank of the coincident magnetic anomaly, and encountered magnetite rich diorite. Some chalcopyrite mineralization was reported associated with felsic dykes intersected near the bottom of this hole. A good correlation between the magnitude of the observed IP effects, the concentration of sulphide and/ or magnetite was shown by hole M92-5, which tested the least anomalous IP effects of any of the five diamond drill holes and coincidentally had the lowest grade of polarizable mineralization.

Tec-X Resources

GEOLOGICAL SETTING, MINERALIZATION AND DEPOSIT TYPES

Regional Geography

Vancouver Island is a significant transect across the southern part of the Mid-Paleozoic to Early Mesozoic Wrangellian tectonostratigraphic terrane (Figure 11) that extends northward though the Queen Charlotte Island into southern Alaska. On Vancouver Island Wrangellia is intruded to the east by rocks of the Coast Plutonic Complex and tectonically sliced to the west by the Pacific Rim Terrane and the Westcoast Crystalline Complex (Wheeler and McFeely, 1991). The Wrangellian terrane on Vancouver Island is essentially composed of two oceanic volcanic arcs separated by voluminous flood basalts that formed an oceanic plateau. The earliest arc, forming the basement of the island geology, is exposed in several faultbounded tectonic uplifts in the central part of the island, most notably around Buttle Lake where the prolific

25

Figure 11: Terrane Affiliation of Copper Porphyries and Skarns in British Columbia

==> picture [466 x 343] intentionally omitted <==

massive sulphide deposits of Myra Falls are located in felsic volcanics of the Devonian to Early Permian Sicker and Buttle Lake Groups. The basement uplifts were deformed and then engulfed by the voluminous flood basalts of the Karmutsen Formation (Figure 12), the lower part of the Vancouver Group, that dominates the alpine skyline of much of the central Vancouver Island. A return to volcanic arc magmatism came in the late Triassic with the onset of the Bonanza Group that deposited a series of increasingly volcanic-dominated strata on the Quatsino Formation limestones that capped the Karmutsen Formation flood basalt plateau. The Bonanza Group is mainly composed of the Parson Bay Formation and the Bonanza Volcanics. The Parson Bay Formation is a mixed carbonate-clastic-volcanic succession with a significant island-arc volcanic and volcaniclastic affinity that separates it conformably from the earlier limestone strata of the Quatsino Formation and is premonitory to Bonanza Group volcanic arc volcanism culminating in the volcanic-dominated LeMare Lake Volcanics south of the Holberg fault and the Holberg volcanics to the north. Coeval granitoid intrusions of the Island Plutonic Suite cut volcanic strata of the Karmutsen Formation as well as those of the Bonanza Group and resulted in both porphyry copper deposits and, where intruding limestones, significant skarn deposits of magnetite and copper sulphides. The Bonanza Arc rocks were eroded following a major Jurassic contractional event and covered unconformably by clastic sedimentary rocks of the terrigenous Nanaimo Group that include coal-bearing conglomerates in fault-bounded troughs along the eastern side of Vancouver Island.

The history of faulting on northern Vancouver Island is complex and dominated by Cretaceous transpression and Tertiary extension. The present crustal architecture exhibits a dominant northwesterlytrending structural grain manifested by the distribution of major lithostratigraphic units and granitoid plutons (Figure 13). Numerous fault-bounded blocks of homoclinal, Early Mesozoic strata generally dip to the southwest and west whereas Jura-Cretaceous clastic strata are preserved as disparate fault-bounded remnants of formerly more extensive Cretaceous basins on the north side of Quatsino Sound (Nixon and Orr, 2007).

Holberg Inlet is the locus of the Holberg Fault across which the Triassic to Jurassic stratigraphic units are repeated, but with significant changes in facies in the Bonanza Group. On the north side of the Holberg Fault the Jurassic volcanic arc rocks are named the Holberg Volcanic Unit, while to the south the equivalent stratigraphic interval is called the LeMare Lake volcanics. The LeMare Lake volcanics are considered lowermiddle Jurassic while the Holberg volcanics are younger in the middle Jurassic stratigraphy and represent a shift from more proximal volcanic facies in the south to distal volcaniclastic facies in the north. The Holberg Fault is also parallel to the chain of Island Intrusions in the Island Copper to Hushamu belt, which host several porphyry copper deposits (Figure 13) and its role in the localization of the porphyry belt is unknown as it is a younger tectonic feature. However, speculatively, it may be a reactivated Jurassic crustal feature. Another belt of recognized porphyry deposits in the Miocene Brooks magmatic suite composed of the Alert Bay volcanics and the Klaskish Plutonic Suite, which form a chain of intrusions and volcanic deposits that runs transverse to all the Mesozoic structures in the region (Figure 14). This Miocene belt has been attributed to magmatism localized at a subducted plate edge (Nixon et al., 2020) shown in Figure 15.

Property Geology and Mineralization

A geological map of the entire Property at the scale of the district north of the historic Island Copper Mine is shown in Figure 16, above. Maps of the individual prospects are shown in “ Exploration ” in Figures 17, for the skarn showings with individual maps for each of the skarn showings in Figures 18, and 19 to 21, and the Quatse pluton in Figure 22.

The Property covers two distinct but probably related geological environments: An eastern block of claims covers a five kilometer strike length of the upper Karmutsen Formation tholeiitic basalt flows adjacent to the overlying Quatsino Formation limestone which lies to the south (Figure 16) and the Quatse pluton on the west. The western lobe of the Property is a block of claims covering a 450 hectare area of the eastern end of the Quatse Lake Pluton where previous work identified potential porphyry copper mineralization.

At the western end of the eastern block of claims (Figure 16), numerous copper skarn showings, the discovery of which was described in “ History ” (above), is represented by a ca. 230 hectare area shown in Figure 17. The copper skarns, named the Rainbow, Cranberry, South, and Skid, occur within marbleized limestone beds that are interspersed within basalt flows and disrupted by NNE-trending faults. The limestone beds represent pauses in submarine volcanism in the final stages of eruption of the tholeiitic, submarine flood basalts of Karmutsen Formation which culminated with deposition of the Quatsino Limestone. The skarns are stratiformly controlled by the limestone beds, but may be spatially arrayed in proximity to the eastern contact of the Quatse Lake Pluton.

31

Figure 17: Location Map of Reference Blocks and Field Stations in the Southeastern Sector

==> picture [426 x 333] intentionally omitted <==

The most extensively displayed skarn mineralization is in the Rainbow Zone (Figure 18), comprising a series of garnetite skarns, and lobate magnetite-chalcopyrite bodies arrayed along a 500 meter strike of marbleized limestone. The original limestone section is roughly 40 meters thick and moderately south dipping. Garnetite skarn horizons within the marble vary from lenticular layers up to 5 meters thick at the contact of the marble with Karmutsen basalt to lobate masses cutting across strike. Mineralization consists mainly of massive garnetite with disseminated or irregular fracture-controlled chalcopyrite, and larger massive lobes of magnetite interspersed with lenses and disseminated chalcopyrite. Grades of 17 mineralized samples are tabulated in Table 2 and range from 74 ppm in some barren garnetite to 17 percent in chalcopyrite lenses in black amphibolitic skarn. Diorite dykes are present in the vicinity of the mineralization, and assumed to be related to the genesis of the skarns, but no exposures could be found to prove this.

32

Figure 18: Geological Map of the Rainbow Showing area

==> picture [430 x 326] intentionally omitted <==

South of the Rainbow Zone, at least one other limestone horizon is present in the Karmutsen Formation, but poorly exposed fault offsets obscure continuity and the appearance of multiple beds may be fault repetitions. Skarn showings in these limestone horizons are not as well exposed, or apparently extensive as the Rainbow zone, but show similar styles of garnetite-chalcopyrite-magnetite mineralization. The Cranberry showing (map in Figure 19), was previously, partially excavated exposing two narrow garnetite bands extending over a few hundred meters of strike length of two relatively thin limestone beds. The garnetite-magnetite-chalcopyrite mineralization is localized at the northern or basal contact of the limestone. Other showing at South (Figure 20), and Skid (Figure 21) are less well exposed. South is located on a knoll in low ground adjacent to marshes and Skid on a steep south-facing hillside.

The porphyry copper component of the Property is encompassed by the western block of claims in the Quatse Lake Pluton west of the Port Hardy to Coal Harbour Highway. The geology of the Quatse pluton part of the Property is shown in Figures 10 and in Figure 22 below in. Figure 10 shows five previous drilling sites, and the area of an IP chargeability anomaly. Chalcopyrite mineralization was commonly encountered in the drill core, and significantly drill hole M92-1 intersected 16.2 meters near its collar grading 0.17% copper in a non-magnetic zone of granodiorite reflecting granitoid alteration. Similar mineralization was encountered throughout drill hole M92-3, except in a late-stage quartz-feldspar phyric felsic dike. Within the quartz diorite between 24.4 meters and the EOH at 76.8 m copper assays ranged between 260 and 792 ppm averaging about 500 ppm. The mineralization consisted of in hairline fracture-filling and disseminated pyrite (1%), variable chalcopyrite from trace to 0.5% and traces of molybdenite.

In general, mineralization in the Quatse Lake Pluton may be related to skarn mineralization in the marbles within the Karmutsen Formation. The most prolific skarn mineralization appears to be within 500 meters of the contact of the pluton with limestone horizons in the Rainbow Zone and declining to possibly smaller skarn lobes by 1 kilometer at the South and Cranberry showings.

Deposit Types

The mineralizing environment of the Property is mainly influenced by the Quatse Lake pluton, which has both internal porphyry copper potential, as well as external skarn mineralizing potential in limestone beds in the upper Karmutsen Formation, into which it intrudes. Showings in the Quatse Lake pluton include significant drill intersections of copper mineralization. In the Karmutsen Formation, garnet - chalcopyrite - magnetite skarns are documented in limestone - marble beds at several showings within a kilometer to the east of the Quatse intrusive contact. The two main deposit types being explored on the Property are described below. Regionally, the Karmutsen Formation is known for hosting small bornite, chalcopyrite and native copper veins and breccias associated with low grade metamorphic remobilization of copper into upper subaerially deposited sections of nearly seven kilometer thick tholeiitic basalt pile, but these are not a significant target in the immediate area.

Skarns

Mineralized skarns are present in several showings on the North Island Copper Property, but their precise classification amongst a range of types including copper, gold, and iron skarns has not been firmly established. Copper is the main element of economic interest in the skarns and veins discovered so far. Numerous different classes of mineralized skarn have been documented, including gold, copper, tungsten, lead-zinc and iron, and in each class there are distinctive subtypes worthy of considering in designing an exploration plan. Copper skarns also have associated gold, high sulphide content of chalcopyrite, pyrite and magnetite or pyrrhotite in inner garnet-pyroxene skarn facies. Establishing a classification may guide exploration to find overlooked geological features of the skarns that are of economic importance. The established characteristics of the North Island Copper skarns are an association between dioritic intrusions

36

and metasomatic replacement of marble by garnet and pyroxene skarns, with magnetite associated with chalcopyrite lenses. Two of the most relevant types of copper and gold skarns are summarized below.

Copper Skarns - Copper dominant skarns of the calcic type have high garnet to pyroxene ratios with high Fe andraditic garnet and diopsidic clinopyroxene replacing marble near intrusive stock, to wollastonite and tremolite with lesser garnet and diopside farther away (Ray, 1998). Mineralization is of high sulphide content with chalcopyrite, pyrite and magnetite in the inner zone and bornite, sphalerite and tennantite possible in the outer zone. The oxidation state of the intrusion and host rocks determines the predominance of iron species including magnetite, hematite, and pyrrhotite. Traces of scheelite, Co-Ni arsenides, and Cu- Sb-As sulphosalts may be present.

The geochemical signature of Cu-skarns includes Co, As, Sb, Bi, Mo, and W anomalies in soils, silts, and rocks with zoning from Cu-Ag-Au in the inner zones through Au-Ag to Pb-Zn-Ag distal from the intrusions. Copper skarns may be associated with copper porphyry deposits. Grades in Cu-skarns range from 1 to 2% and sizes from 1 to 300 Mt.

Gold Skarns - The majority of gold-dominant skarn mineralization occurs in calcareous rocks that have been metasomatically replaced by fluids exsolving from crystallizing dioritic intrusive bodies. The resulting calc-silicate skarns consist of Ca, Fe and Mg silicate minerals, mainly clinopyroxene, garnet, and epidote, the proportions of which determines the three types of calcic skarns formed under different geochemical conditions and reflecting original host-rocks.

Pyroxene-rich skarns have high pyroxene to garnet ratios and mineralization characterized by native gold, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and a variety of significant bismuth tellurides, such as hedleyite (Bi7Te3), tetradymite (Bi2Te2S), altaite (PbTe) and hessite (Ag2Te), as well as bismuthinite (Bi2S3) cobaltite (CoAsS) native bismuth (Bi) pyrite FeS2 sphalerite ZnS and maldonite Au2Bi. Gold occurs as microscopic blebs at sulphide grain boundaries and is strongly associated with the Bi-tellurides resulting in a significant Bi-Te-As geochemical signature in rocks and soils (Ray, 1998). The sulphide content is generally high with high ratios of pyrrhotite to pyrite.

Garnet-rich skarns have higher garnet-pyroxene ratios, and prograde calc-silicates including low-Mn grandite garnet, K-feldspar, wollastonite, diopsidic clinopyroxene, epidote, vesuvianite, sphene and apatite. Mineralization is similar to the pyroxene skarns with native gold, chalcopyrite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, magnetite, hematite, pyrrhotite, galena and the geochemically distinctive tellurides and bismuthinite. However, they lower sulphide content with less pyrrhotite than the pyroxenes skarns.

The exploration geochemical signature of gold-rich skarns includes anomalous Au, As, Bi, Te, Co, Cu, Zn or Ni in soils, stream sediments, and mineralized rocks and relatively high ratios of gold to copper, silver and zinc. Related intrusions may be anomalously enriched in the compatible elements Cr, Sc and V, and depleted in lithophile incompatible elements (Rb, Zr, Ce, Nb and La), compared to intrusions associated with most other skarn types.

The target size for gold skarn deposits ranges from 0.4 to 13 Mt and from 2 to 15 g/t Au. The Nickel Plate mine in the Quesnel Terrane near Penticton produced over 71 tonnes of Au from 13.4 Mt of ore (grading 5.3 g/t Au).

Iron Skarns - Many examples of magnetite skarns are present in the Wrangellian Terrane of Vancouver Island associated with relatively mafic Jurassic intrusions of the Island Plutonic Suite into Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation limestone (see Figure 13 above). The Merry Widow, Old Sport, and Iron Crown magnetite skarns collectively produced over 3 million tonnes of iron in the 1950s and 60s (Ray, 1995). In addition the Old Sport mine produced 41,000 tonnes of copper, 4,000 kg of gold and 12,000 kg of silver.

Iron skarns typically are zoned outwards from gabbroic to dioritic intrusions into limestone and calcareous volcanic tuffs in the order of massive magnetite, andraditic garnet skarn and finally pyroxene skarn. Small blebs of copper and iron sulphides are present in the skarn. Fluids exsolving from the crystallizing pluton progressively react with the calcareous rocks first developing pale green pyroxene skarn, which is replaced by garnet and in turn garnet is replaced by magnetite. Metallic mineral assemblages in the skarn typically

37

include magnetite, with lesser chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, cobaltite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, galena, molybdenite, bornite, hematite, and martite.

Calc-alkalic copper-molybdenum porphyry deposits

The Island Copper porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit is located just a few kilometers south of the Property on the shores of Holberg Inlet.

Generally, porphyry Cu-Mo deposits form as veinlets, stockworks and disseminations of quartz and sulphides within broadly mineralized potassic and phyllic alteration zones surrounded by barren zones of propylitic alteration. The principal minerals of economic interest include chalcopyrite, molybdenite, lesser bornite and trace gold or electrum. Pyrite is an important constituent, particularly in the phyllic and propylitic alteration zones. The deposits are formed by fluids released during the crystallization of hydrous calcalkaline magmas typically around small plutons or stocks that have differentiated from larger plutonic bodies. They can be associated with igneous intrusions that vary from coarse-grained phaneritic to porphyritic, forming batholiths and dike swarms, and with compositions that range from quartz diorite to granodiorite and quartz monzonite. Multiple intrusive episodes are commonly involved, some with explosive release of fluids resulting in phreato-magmatic breccias intruding surrounding rocks.

Alteration facies are typically concentrically zoned around a central stock as described in classical models of porphyry deposits such as Gustafson and Hunt (1975) and Lowell and Guilbert (1970). Potassic alteration, usually in or proximal to the central stock, is characterized by the presence of shreddy-textured secondary biotite, the alteration of feldspars by orthoclase overgrowths and replacement, and by hornfelsing of country rocks. Outwards and upwards from the potassic zone, phyllic alteration is characterized by quartz and sericite replacement of feldspars, and pyrite replacement of mafic minerals such as hornblende and pyroxene. On the periphery of the zoning, broad outer halos of propylitic alteration are recognized by assemblages of chlorite, epidote and calcite replacing feldspars and mafic minerals. Such concentric zoning may extend over kilometers.

Mineralization consists mainly of chalcopyrite; molybdenite, lesser bornite and rare (primary) chalcocite. At extremes of high sulphidation, acidic hydrothermal alteration, advanced argillic alteration may occur in the upper part of deposits and characterized by assemblages of sulphosalts, bornite, pyrite and enargite forming large veins systems and replacement deposits. Veins of galena and sphalerite with silver may form in a distant halo around large porphyry systems.

Porphyry copper deposits are classified as low grade high tonnage deposits usually amenable to open pit mining. In British Columbia mined deposits range in size from 50 Mt to a billion tonnes at grades from 0.2 to 0.5% copper, nil to 0.04% Mo, and sporadically 0.1 to 1.5 g/t Au and 1 to 3 g/t Ag (Panteleyev, 1995).

EXPLORATION

In November of 2021 the author examined the North Island Copper Property assisted by Craig Lynes, Roger Kennedy and Marcel Bedard. The author’s objective was to evaluate the known showings, and confirm or update the existing geological mapping to determine the merit of the Property. Craig Lynes and Roger Kennedy provided assistance to the author as needed to locate showings and aid with field logistics, as well as prospect adjacent areas. A soil geochemical study was contemplated in light of past exploration experience in the area that showed it to be an effective tool. However, current post-logging ground conditions throughout much of the area indicated that it would be inefficient and labour intensive to obtain samples through the deep organic debris accumulations observed, and potentially ambiguous where soil had been disturbed by logging and past exploration trenching as well as from a lack of information on depth and type of glacial overburden. Finally, to augment the geological field work, the author recommended a precision airborne magnetometer survey by Pioneer Exploration Consultants using a UAV suspended magnetometer over parts of the Property, which was completed in March 2022.

Geological Mapping

The current conditions of secondary regrowth and even recent logging of second growth throughout the Property were not conducive to efficient or precise geological mapping. Many old roads that served as

38

exploration trails in the early days were not accessible by vehicles and some could no longer be recognized. However, the Property has been previously mapped at times when exploration roads that appear on old maps were accessible, and when mapping could be conducted in old growth forest around current logging and saliently in freshly cleared areas around showings and trenches. The earliest work took place under the auspices of Utah Mining in relation to development of the Island Copper Mine and mapping was apparently not filed for assessment. Many of the original showings were remapped by John McAndrew (1980; 1988; 1989) and the maps included in assessment reports. The existing map of McAndrew (1989) was georeferenced and consulted in the field both to find showings and geological contacts and to check the georeferencing of the map itself against GPS points at specific geological features. The latter was done by the author using a combination of viewing the map on a GPS enabled tablet in the field as well as plotting points taken with a separate Garmin 62s GPS unit for comparison in ArcGIS 9.3. Generally, there was good correspondence, which allowed the original map to be digitized with only slight adjustments to compensate for presumed base map distortion, and to reproduce some finer details that were presumably exposed when the original mapping was done, but now covered by vegetation and logging debris.

Many of the old showings, which are recorded as Minfile occurrences were difficult to recognize in the field even in reference to McAndrew’s map. These included some at the Rainbow showing where in many cases evidence of showings consisted of large blocks of mineralized rock inferred to have been displaced from the original pit either by large machinery or by blasting. The original pits were commonly sloughed-in and overgrown burying the skarn - host rocks contacts and in some cases took quite a bit of hunting around through dense undergrowth to recognize. However, in some situations, especially in higher relief area, contacts and mineralization were found in place, such as at the Cranberry showing where a large trenched area had left some vertical faces in mineralization although the original stripped areas were fully covered in dense alder.

In the southern area, east of the Coal Harbour road, the principal rock types recognized in the field are Karmutsen basalt and limestone. The basalts are not generally well enough exposed even in steep outcrops to consistently discern flow structures. A few quarries used for road building show generally shallow southerly dips of moderately thick flows. Pillows were not observed. Limestone was mainly exposed in quarries, recent roadcuts, and some old stripped areas that had not completely revegetated. Some original outcrops showed the effects of mild karsting such as dissolution grooves and cavities, and in places forming noticeable surface depressions.

The northwest sector of the claims is within the Quatse Lake Pluton, a Jurassic age granodiorite of the Island Intrusive Suite. Most of the area within the claims was in an intermediate stage of second growth. Forested areas were passable, but devoid of obvious outcrops. Most outcrop of the Quatse Lake granodiorite occurs presently along stream beds and in some road cuts, but streams were difficult to traverse because of logging debris and dense salal and alder thickets along streambanks. The best exposure of the pluton was in a series of quarries on the west side of the claim block. Known showings however, are within the claims area and outcrops examined and mapped consist mainly of one creek canyon which traversed for a few hundred meters downstream of an active logging road.

Mineralized Rock Sampling

During the 2 week program 46 rocks were collected from mineralized outcrops by the author and assistants in the immediate vicinity of the Property. Most of the evaluation was around the main series of showings known as the Rainbow Showing with several traverses from 3 different access routes over 4 days. Smaller showings including the Cranberry, South, and Skid involved single traverses by the author and at least one or two of the prospectors, Roger Kennedy, and Craig Lynes.

All of the rock samples were categorized as grab samples. Most were taken from in-lace outcrops or the edge of old exploration pits and trenches, but several were from blocks of rock that had been excavated from nearby, sloughed-in exploration pits. The mineralized rocks were analyzed by ALS method ME-MS61 which involves a strong 4 acid digestion using HF-HNO3-HClO4, with an HCl leach of the dried-down residue, and Induction Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry and Emission Spectrometry as appropriate for 48 analytes. Analytical ranges for common analytes include copper 0.2 to 10,000 ppm, silver 0.01 to 100 ppm, sulphur 0.01 to 10%, iron 0.01 to 50%, and zinc 2 to 10,000 ppm.

Maps showing the geology, field and sample stations are shown below for each area mapped. The map areas are shown as reference blocks on and index map in Figure 17 and named Rainbow, Cranberry, South, Skid, and Crook Road (no assays were obtained from Crook Road). Assays for selected elements of samples are tabulated for each area including capsule descriptions and GPS coordinates. Prior to samples shipment to the ALS Geochemistry Laboratory in North Vancouver, the author described all of the samples and conducted spot analyses with a Niton XL3t handheld XRF analyzer as backup and to verify identity of analytical results. The results of the XRF analysis were used by the author to verify the analytical results and characterize sample heterogeneity and mineralogy.

The showings examined were all classified as chalcopyrite-magnetite garnetite exoskarns. Most of the mineralization occurs within limestones that have been marbleized and locally metasomatized to garnetite, or to lesser degrees of pyroxenite and calc-silicate rocks. Lower grade occurrences of chalcopyrite in metasomatized basalt appear to be proximal to marble hosted skarns. All appear to occur at the contact of the marble with basalt or near the contact of the marble with some intrusive phase that was inferred to occur as a dike from a local pluton.

Geochemistry of the Mineralized Samples

Statistical analysis of the assays from the 38 skarn mineralized rocks characterizes the mineralization and shows variations that may be indicative of mineralogical spatial zoning of the skarn deposits relative to the Quatse Lake Pluton. The Rainbow showings are within 800 meters of the western edge of the Quatse pluton and the Skid, Cranberry, and South showings at increasing distance to about 1.5 kilometers. The boxplots summarize some basic statistics of nine selected elements from the assays in Figure 23. The Rainbow assays show higher Ag, S, Pb, and W and lower Ni than the others, which may be an indication of its proximity to the Quatse Lake Pluton. Nickel is distinctly higher in the farthest showings, South and Cranberry, than in Skid and Rainbow, while antimony (Sb), and tungsten (W) are the reverse, higher in the closer showings.

Correlations of the elements in the samples is useful for classifying the skarns. Copper is strongly correlated with silver, although this is a common correlation in many deposit types resulting from the ready substitution of silver for copper in crystal lattices of many sulphide and sulphosalt minerals. Figure 24 plots all the assayed samples from the skarns and the Quatse pluton and shows a linear relationship between copper and silver with most of the high Cu-Ag samples from Rainbow. It can also be deduced from the logarithmic graph in Figure 24, that the Rainbow showing has a higher Ag-Cu ratio of about 1:1000 than those from Cranberry which are less than 1:5000. Samples of veins and stockworks from the Quatse pluton plot on the line with the Rainbow samples supporting a connection between porphyry copper fluids in the Quatse and proximal skarns at Rainbow, with Ag declining away from the pluton contact more rapidly than Cu.

Copper is more weakly correlated with Bi, W, and Te, which are present in moderate concentrations especially in the Rainbow samples, and are typical indicators of magmatic fluid sources. Tellurium (Te) ranges from nil to 13.9 ppm (mean 2.3 ppm), Bi from 0.05 to 44.6 ppm (mean 5.0 ppm), and W from 0.1 to 195.5 ppm (mean of 19 ppm), in the 38 skarn samples. Correlations coefficients for Te are 0.33 with Cu and 0.41 with Ag. In gold-skarns Bi, and Te form Bi-tellurides associated with gold mineralization (Ray, 1998), but gold has historically been reported as low in the north island skarns and was not analyzed. Lead is also strongly correlated with silver (0.65) and copper (0.54) (Figure 25) and shows potential spatial zoning with higher concentrations in the Rainbow showing. Tungsten shows a similar spatial distribution of concentrations with the highest in Rainbow followed by Skid and then South, and Cranberry. A binary logarithmic plot of Pb vs. W in Figure 26 illustrates the higher concentrations of these two elements in the Rainbow showing despite a relatively poor correlation between them.

In general it can be hypothesized that the spatial geochemical variations of the skarns were influenced by proximity to the Quatse Lake pluton possibly by differential fluid migration along bedding planes in limestone intervals in the Karmutsen Formation. A thermal gradient around the pluton may also have influenced mineral stability with distance from the pluton. Sills and dykes are evident at many of the showings and assumed to be related to skarn formation. These would be structurally limited by the radial stress field of the pluton, limiting the distance of skarn formation from the pluton, but it is not clear how this would influence

40

geochemistry. The apparent geochemical variations may be somewhat biased by the large number of samples from the Rainbow showing compared to Skid and Cranberry.

Rainbow Showing

The Rainbow zone or series of showings following the nomenclature of McAndrew (1989) is located centrally in the claims and is traversed by a now inaccessible system of deactivated logging and possibly exploration roads. The area was accessed by hiking from the Crook road area north through the bush, from the west by hiking from a new logging road to a deactivated section of the Doreen Lake Road near km 32, or along the Doreen Lake road (aka R440) past a footbridge crossing of a creek formerly crossed by a road bridge. One moderately open old road passes along the northern edge of the showings, while old exploration trails within the explored showing on the map of McAndrew (e.g. 1980) are thoroughly ingrown with alder and cedar.

Mineralized skarn showings at Rainbow occur in a limestone band over a distance of about 500 meters and a width of 50 to 75 meters. McAndrew mapped several lenses of mineralized skarn interpreted as narrow lenses at the contact with basalt or crosscutting the limestone/ marble lens in bulbous lobes.

Seventeen samples were collected from three main showings at the Rainbow Showing zone as shown on map in Figure 18 and in Table 2. Copper ranges from 75 ppm to 17.1 percent with a mean value of 5.2 %. Four samples have over 10% copper, but the high grades may be attributed to near massive lenses of chalcopyrite mainly in garnetite, but associated with massive magnetite. Eight of the samples range from 1 to 6% Cu and are generally described as garnetites with disseminated and laminated chalcopyrite. Silver in these 12 samples is roughly proportionate to copper content ranging from 12 to 300 ppm. Zinc is sporadically high with 3 samples showing 2 to 14% Zn, but the rest below 7200 ppm and averaging 1500 ppm Zn. Other elements are more sporadic in distribution and not clearly correlated with copper or other the mineralogy of the rock. Iron ranges from 10 to 50% (the analytical range limit) with a mean of 38%, and represents both magnetite and garnet, with samples over 30% Fe having modal magnetite and those with less being mainly andraditic garnet. Calcium assays vary according to calcite content, but also to andraditic garnet.

The size of the skarn lenses can only be estimated with reference to previous descriptions made when the showings and trenches were stripped bare. Presently the many small pits are filled in with debris and vegetation and mineralized rock was found as small stockpiles adjacent to the pits. Where appropriate, samples were collected either from outcrop or adjacent stockpiles.

Cranberry Showing

The Cranberry showing was originally accessed in the early 1960s by exploration trails coming in from what is now the Doreen Lake road and some large areas were stripped and pits or trenches dug. The exploration trails are no longer evident and the stripped areas at the showings covered in an impenetrable mat of alder and young cedars. Presently it is on a broad high ridge and was accessed from a partially open old E-W road originally called Branch Road No. 7 by walking north for about 450 meters through generally open second growth Western Hemlock and Amabalis Fir. Pits in the center of the area remain open however and some vertical faces were sampled. Other smaller showings in the area also appear to have been blasted and are now mainly evident by large blocks of mineralized skarn loosely piled nearby.

Six samples were collected from the Cranberry Showing area from two main showings. The principal showing is reported to be a WSW- ENE striking lens some 75 m long and a few meters wide at the contact

45

between limestones to the south and basalt to the north mapped in Figure 19. Assays of selected elements are shown in Table 3. Two more samples are from a different lens lying to the south at a possibly fault offset marble-basalt contact. This second lens is mapped by McAndrew at 30 meters long and a meter wide. The lenses and basalt-limestone/marble contacts dip moderately to the SSE as shown in a geology map digitized from one produced by McAndrew (1989).

The highest grade sample is described as finely intergrown magnetite, chalcopyrite and yellow garnet laminated in places with a fine granular texture. Significant element assays in the sample are 7.9% Cu, 17.6 ppm Ag, 37.6% Fe and 1075 ppm As. Other samples are mainly garnetites averaging 3% Cu. Two samples with moderate copper contents of ca. 1.5 % are skarns developed in basalt with chalcopyrite in amygdules or intergrown in a pyroxene-epidote matrix, which may also be a skarn facies in marble.

South Showing

The South Showing occurs adjacent to Branch Road 7 about 1000 meters east of a current logging road that leads into the Crook Road area (Figure 20). The main showings are around the periphery of the domeshaped outcrop that is elevated above swamp and valley-filling overburden. A second minor showing occurs on the north side of Branch Road 7 about 50 meters east of the small access trail leading to South. Eight samples were collected for analysis at the two showings. The samples are all magnetite rich and fairly consistent in copper content varying only from 1.6 to 3.2% Cu. Iron ranges from 9 to over the 50% analytical limit and averages 32% indicative of the magnetite and high iron andraditic garnet. Several of the skarns have coarsely banded structures with layers of calcite, magnetite, garnet, and chalcopyrite.

Skid

The Skid showing is located on the steep southern aspect of a high East-West ridge as a series of thin lenses from which 3 samples were collected (Figure 21). Samples were collected from trenches crossing the skarn layers. The area was traversed twice, once in a general reconnaissance and once on the way into the Cranberry Showing, which is a few hundred meters to the NE. Skarn bands are narrow at this showing and are only shown by location of field stations and samples. None of the assays are significantly high reflecting the general field observations of deeply weathered friable magnetite-rich garnet skarn with minor disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite. Copper in the 3 samples ranged from 273 to 6200 ppm and is inversely correlated with sulphur in the samples indicating high pyrite contents or copper remobilized and deposited as malachite. Iron ranges from 20 to 40 % indicative mainly of the magnetite lenses observed in the trench outcrops.

Quatse Lake Pluton

The Quatse Lake Pluton underlies most of the NW sector of the North Island Copper claim group where it is in intrusive contact with basalt flows of the Karmutsen Formation (Figure 22). Five samples of granodiorite

46

and one aplite dike were sampled to investigate the lithogeochemistry of the pluton and alteration effects discussed below. Six mineralized samples were analyzed by ME-MS61 selected analytes. Five were from granitoid outcrops, and one from a fractured basalt.

Copper in the 6 samples ranges from 203 to 3910 ppm with an average of 1926 ppm. However the low copper sample was analysed not for copper potential, but because of molybdenite rosettes on fracture surfaces, and it assayed 1280 ppm Mo. The most prospective traverse was along a creek bed in the northern part of the claims where 5 samples of altered and mineralized granodiorite were collected. Four were assayed and are Cu-D01 and 02, and RK58 and 59. Copper contents ranged from 1170 to 3910 in these 4 samples and all have low concentrations of Mo (2 to 3 ppm) and Ag ( 1 to 2 ppm). One sample from station RK058 had anomalous Zn at 2920 ppm. Arsenic was sporadic ranging from 4 to 244 ppm.

Alteration of the four mineralized rocks could not be thoroughly assessed with the lack of complete fusion digestion and appropriate analysis, but Na and K from the 4 acid digestion all appear to be unaffected exhibiting a narrow range of variation of 1.95 to 2.5 wt% Na and 1.23 to 2.03 wt% K.

The fifth sample served as a whole rock analysis of the Quatse granodiorite and was found to have 1090 ppm Cu. It contained quartz carbonate veins along which chalcopyrite was disseminated. Alteration of the rock consisted of pink potassium feldspar replacing mafic clusters proximal to the veins and biotite altered to chlorite more distally. However, its alkali elements Na and K were not noticeably different than those from less altered samples. Its whole rock composition is discussed below in “Lithogeochemistry”.. where Na2O was 3.24 wt% and K2O 2.63 wt% which are comparable to the non-oxide values from the ME-MS61. Only one whole rock sample displayed significant depletion of alkalis principally Na from the Quatse Pluton whole rock dataset.

Lithogeochemistry of the Basalts and Intrusives

Eight rocks were selected for whole rock complete characterization analysis by ALS Geochemistry labs in North Vancouver using a suite of methods appropriate for accurate results for major, trace, and REEs as well as carbon and sulphur.

The eight analysed rocks from can be readily subdivided lithologically and lithogeo-chemically into two groups. The main group of 5 rocks is from the Quatse Lake pluton, which are granodiorites and granites, while the remaining three are from two basalts and dioritic dykes cutting them. The basalts have SiO2 concentrations below 50% whereas all the Quatse rocks are above 68% and the one diorite at about 61%. The Quatse Lake pluton rocks were collected from extensive exposures in recent quarries near the NW corner of the Property.

Of the five, one is an obvious aplitic dike cutting Karmutsen volcanics on the north side of the Quatse Pluton. It has a fine graphic texture of intergrown quartz and orthoclase and very low mafic content. Its composition is well into the granite field of the TAS diagram. Three rocks from widely separated sites are almost compositionally identical in the granodiorite field with similar alkalis CaO (3.32 to 3.78)%, Na2O (3.24 to 3.3%) and K2O (2.37 to 2.63%) as well as TiO2 (ca. 0.37%). This set includes a mineralized rock from a creek occurrence of fine chalcopyrite veinlets in the claims. In contrast, at one of the sites to the west of the claims, an argillically-altered rock shows substantial differences in alkali depletion (Na2O of 0.08%, and K2O 1.52%) and very similar immobile elements such as TiO2 at 0.31% and CaO (7.2%) and LOI (12.5%) enrichment. The aplitic dike is higher in K2O (4.9%), lower in CaO (0.9%), and similar in Na2O (3.5%) compared to the unaltered granodiorites.

The three other whole rock analyses from the project were collected in the vicinity of the Rainbow Showing where three dykes were sampled (Figure 18). Two presumed dykes were mafic rocks cutting Karmutsen basalt flows and were analysed to determine if they were feeder dykes or possibly a phase of the Island Plutonic Suite potentially related to mineralization. The third is from an obviously discordant intrusive phase of white weathering diorite. These three plot, in the gabbro/basalt and the diorite fields of the TAS classification diagram. It is difficult to relate the origin of the diorite to the Quatse Plutonic rocks although it would be predicted to be a dike from the pluton.

47

Broader petrogenetic analysis is provided by REE spider plots of the 8 rocks in Figures 27 and 30. A significant contrast is shown on a REE spider plot (Figure 27) normalized against primitive mantle compositions of McDonough and Sun (1995) where the Quatse Lake Pluton granodiorites and aplite show strong LREE enrichment typical of island arc calc-alkaline plutonic rocks, compared to a shallower to flat LREE and HREE pattern for the tholeiitic Karmutsen basalts. Interestingly the diorite dike from the Rainbow Showing also shares the flat REE trend of the basalts. In the Quatse rocks the aplitic dike stands out with a very strong Eu depletion anomaly typical of separation of plagioclase from the parental melt. The highly altered granodiorite has a REE pattern indistinguishable from the other granodiorites showing the immobility of REE in alteration and weathering systems.

For comparison data sets obtained by the author from north island locations in the Karmutsen Group and Island Plutonic Suite are shown in Figures 28 and 29. Figure 28 shows a set of Karmutsen basalts from properties near Stewart Lake and the Adam River (with a few skarn rocks for contrast). The basaltic rocks show remarkably parallel trends on the REE plot with the same typical tholeiitic lack of LREE enrichment monotonously characteristic of the Karmutsen plateau flood basalts. The diagram uses averaged REE concentrations in primitive mantle rocks determined by McDonough and Sun (1995) to normalize the compositions of the same elements in the samples. The range of REE concentrations amongst the basalts is the result of either varying degrees of partial melting of the mantle peridotites that formed the source of the Karmutsen Formation oceanic plateau basalts, or, indistinguishably, by crystal fractionation. The increase in absolute REE contents in the melts at constant ratios of LREE to HREE (commonly the Ce/Yb ratios) is because of the incompatible element behaviour of REEs, which concentrate in residual melts as compatible minerals are fractionated away by crystal settling. Skarns and plagioclase cumulates show positive Eu anomalies in Figure 28. The Quatse rocks are comparable in REE profiles to Island Intrusive Suite dykes from the Stewart Lake and Adam River areas shown in Figure 29 where a consistently parallel pattern is shown with a steep LREE enrichment. A leucocratic granite dike cutting Karmutsen basalt near Stewart Lake, like the aplite north of the Quatse Pluton, also shows a strong Eu depletion anomaly.

An extended REE spider plot of the eight rocks in Figure 30 adds to the analysis of the petrogenesis and differentiation between the rocks. Large Ion Lithophile Element (“LILE”) enrichment is greater in the granodiorites than the basalts. Further differentiation of tholeiitic origin of the basalts and calc-alkaline origin of the granodiorites is emphasized by significant High Field Strength Element (“HFSE”) depletion anomalies relative to the basalt, which is a typical signature of island arc magmatic rocks. The hornblende diorite shows its calc-alkaline affinity in comparison to the granodiorites with strong HFSE depletion including stronger Zr, and Nb-Ta depletion than shown by the granodiorites. In the REE diagram the diorite has a nearly parallel trend to the basalts suggesting a similar origin, but the extended REE diagram confirms a calc-alkaline petrogenesis with possible assimilation of basalt to explain the lower degree of LREE enrichment relative to the Quatse granodiorites.

Airborne Magnetometer Survey of the Property

An aeromagnetic survey of the North Island Copper Property was conducted under contract from Questcorp Mining to Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd (“Pioneer”) using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (“UAV” or drone) - mounted magnetometer. The survey was completed between March 4th and 8th, 2022 after delays from heavy snowfall in December 2021. The survey was conducted on three blocks within the Property (Figure 31), prioritized on the basis of geological characteristics to provide higher resolution than the available regional aeromagnetic maps (Figure 32) produced by Geoscience BC in 2013.

The rationale was that a UAV survey could achieve higher resolution by lower ground clearance and tighter line spacings than a helicopter-borne survey. The objective was to delineate limestone lenses intercalated

in the Karmutsen basalt, and potentially detect magnetite skarn bodies. The survey was designed to prioritize three areas of the Property shown in Figure 31. The highest priority was for the central section of the Property around the Rainbow and Cranberry skarn showings, which are hosted by marbleized limestone lenses and skarn. This area was flown at a line spacing of 35 meters. Second priority was over the NW section of the Property in the Quatse Lake pluton, part of which is regionally anomalous on the Geoscience BC airborne magnetometer survey in Figure 32 and was flown at standard 50 meter line spacing. The third area covered the eastern section of the Property where no skarn mineralization has been previously found, and only one lens of the limestone has been delineated in the upper Karmutsen Formation.

The survey area was within a Class “E” restricted flight zone for seaplane airport at Port Hardy within which the drone was limited to visual range of the drone pilot. In the central area in particular tall second growth trees and a blocked access road into the north side of the Property required using several launch sites within the block to respect the Transport Canada flight restrictions. Deliverables from the survey included a satellite-derived DEM, and maps of Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI), First Vertical Derivative (1VD), and Analytical Signal.

Airborne Magnetic Survey Specifications

Flight lines for the UAV survey (Figure 31) were oriented north-south with east-west tie lines. Line spacing was at 35 meters for “Area 1”, and 50 meters for each of Areas 2 and 3, with tie lines at 350 and 500 meters in all three areas for a total of 258.3 line kilometers. The nominal magnetic sensor altitude above ground level (AGL) was set to 45 m for the duration of the survey and was controlled by an onboard laser range altimeter. A satellite-based digital terrain model (DTM) was used in order to aid the terrain following procedure and to minimize topographic effects on the magnetic data. The nominal production groundspeed of the UAV mounted magnetometer was 8 m/s over flat ground with no wind. Upon landing, the flight

50

batteries are exchanged and the sensor is downloaded for QAQC checks. The average distance covered by each data acquisition flight was approximately 6-10-line kms.

Instrumentation and Software

The principal airborne sensor used was a GEM Systems Canada GSMP-35U potassium vapor sensor mounted on a UAV platform. Ancillary equipment included a laser altimeter with a 130m range, Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system antenna and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). A stationary GSM-19 Overhauser magnetometer was used as a base station. Raw aerial magnetometer data was collected at a rate of 10 Hz while base station data was collected at a rate of 0.16 Hz. Total field and GPS UTC time were recorded with each data point, enabling diurnal correction to be applied during final data processing.

The GSM-19 Overhauser Magnetometer base station was placed in a location of low magnetic gradient, away from electrical transmission lines and moving metallic objects, such as motor vehicles and aircraft. The data collected from this base station was used to diurnally correct the aeromagnetic data. The GSM19 Overhauser Magnetometer is supplied by GEM Systems of Markham, Ontario.

Pioneer used the Matrice M600 Pro UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) to complete this survey towing a lightweight GEM System’s UAV GSMP-35U potassium magnetometer at a distance of 3 to 5 meters from the UAV. The Matrice 600 (M600) is DJI’s platform designed for professional aerial photography and industrial applications. The UAV Aeromagnetic Configuration of the UAV GSMP-35U potassium magnetometer provided high sensitivity of 0.0002 nT, 0.0001 nT resolution, with +/- 0.1 nT absolute accuracy over its dynamic range of 15,000 to 120,000 nT. and low heading error of + / – 0.05 nT. An onboard laser altimeter measured distance above ground and controlled the flight altitude to remain at 45 m above ground.

Data Processing and Maps

All post-field data processing was carried out using Geosoft Oasis Montaj, Python and Microsoft Excel software/ programming languages. Presentation of final maps used ESRI ArcMap and/or Geosoft Oasis Montaj. Results were gridded using minimum curvature method and a grid cell size of approximately 1/3 of flight line spacing. The geophysical images are positioned using the WGS 1984 datum. The survey geodetic GPS positions have been map-projected using the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection into UTM Zone 9 in common with the coordinates used in the rest of the Technical Report.

Deliverables from the survey include the primary maps of the Total Magnetic Field based on the flight lines covered by the drone, and interpolating the filtered magnetic data. The first order vertical derivative maps quantifies the rate of change of the magnetic field as a function of ground clearance. It is an approximation of the vertical magnetic gradient, which could be directly measured with separate magnetometers vertically spaced apart. The purpose of this type of filter is to eliminate the long wavelength signatures and make sharp features more detectable, such as the edges of magnetic bodies. The vertical derivative is used to delineate the contacts between large-scale magnetic domains because its value is zero over vertical contacts. The 3D Analytic Signal (“AS”) map is the square root of the sum of the squares of the derivatives in the x, y, and z directions. The AS, is useful in locating the edges of magnetic source bodies, particularly where remnant magnetic signals and/or low magnetic latitude complicates interpretation.

In general TMI images are negatively affected by increases in clearance height of the sensor above the ground as well as by the depth of overburden. Within the Property, most trees are second growth and in some areas over 30 meters in height. Local surficial geology generally consists of till veneers less than a few meters thick in upland areas. The first derivative image compensates for variations in height above ground and local relief by calculating a pseudo gradient measured in nT/m.

Interpretation

Maps of the Analytical Signal show similar features as 1VD maps and are not considered further here. Area 1 was considered the highest priority for the magnetometer survey: Karmutsen basalt flows are interspersed with interflow limestone formations that have been metasomatically altered by fluids from dioritic dykes, possibly from the Quatse Lake pluton, which intrudes the western border, producing calcic garnet-pyroxene skarns with bodies of magnetite mineralized with chalcopyrite. It has a complex magnetometer pattern in both the TMI and the 1VD indicating structural breaks and possible intrusions as well as the limestone interflow beds. Area 2, is within the Quatse Lake diorite pluton that has been partially explored for porphyry copper deposits and intrudes Karmutsen Formation basalt. A large east west magnetic low was detected previously by Allen and Dasler (1992) on the Marisa property coincident with IP anomalies and some mineralization on drill holes, as well as on the Geoscience BC regional aeromagnetic survey of 2013, and was confirmed by the UAV survey. Area 3 is in a weakly deformed sequence of Karmutsen Formation basalt flows, possibly at a lower stratigraphic level than Area 1 and only has one known interflow sediment band. It has a generally flatter and lower magnetic susceptibility than the adjacent Area 1.

On a regional scale map in Figure 32 the Property is within a broad west northwest trending magnetic high that corresponds to the upper stratigraphic levels of the tholeiitic Karmutsen Formation basalts (unit uTrVKFvb.f). The northwest part of the Property, Area 2, is marked by a deep, west-northwest trending magnetic low coincident with the northeast margin of the Quatse Lake pluton (unit EMJqg-gd). The area of the Quatse Lake pluton is slightly lower in intensity than the surrounding Karmutsen basalts. The southeast section of the Property, is in a very high magnetic zone in the west of Area 1 and tapering off to a lower magnetic intensity in the east in Area 3.

In Area 1, the TMI map (Figure 33) shows a relatively strong, but variable magnetic intensity with a moderately defined east-northeast fabric. The western edge of the map (Figure 33) is a magnetic low that corresponds to the mapped eastern margin of the Quatse Lake pluton. East of the intrusive contact the Karmutsen Formation is magnetically high, but declines rapidly 1.4 kilometers to the east. The ENE structure is most evident north of the Rainbow showing area, but does not appear to resolve the approximately 50 meter wide limestone/marble lens in which the Rainbow skarns were formed. The ENE fabric is more strongly resolved in the 1VD map (Figure 34), as several approximately 100 meter wide linear

53

magnetic low and high gradients ranging from -2.7 to 3.5 nT/meter. Notably, the fabric is parallel to the layering in the Karmutsen and to the trellis pattern of streams, which appear to follow TMI lows (Figure 33) and on the generally lies on the south side of high gradient bands at the zero gradient line. Bedding in the Karmutsen dips to the south at about 30 degrees and is expressed by basalt flows and interflow sediment bands, principally the limestone units hosting the skarns. However, it is not clear what stratigraphic layers other than limestone bands are responsible for the magnetic structure. Mapped limestone bands lie with highs and lows in the TMI, and are not always present in the known stream valleys. Dykes and sills from the Quatse pluton are associated with the skarns, but are not well enough exposed to determine if they are the cause of the magnetic structure. Potentially, sills intrude along interflow layers such as the limestone bands, or perhaps between massive flows and volcaniclastic layers. Diorite sills may account for TMI lows, but may also metamorphose the basalts as well as generate skarns in the limestone that have accentuate the magnetic structure of the Karmutsen.

In the Quatse Lake area the magnetic low is an east-west “trough” at 53300 nT contrasting with a magnetic high in the Karmutsen basalt at 54400 nT in the NE corner of the map. Along the south edge of the magnetic low, drill holes on the Marisa property encountered significant porphyry style mineralization in 1991 (Allen and Dasler, 1992) (see Fig. 16 above). The 1st-VD map resolves some of the same ENE fabric observed in Area 1, in the Karmutsen block on the NE corner of the map. An ENE regional fault that offsets the Quatse Lake diorite through its centre is parallel to the fabric.

The magnetic fabric of Area 1 diminishes to the east into Area 3 along with the generally higher magnetic intensity. Weak ENE features can be interpreted from the 1VD map, but reconnaissance exploration along logging roads revealed some narrow shear zones, and no major intrusions, or stratigraphic variations.

SAMPLING, ANALYSIS AND DATA VERIFICATION

Sample Collection and Preparation

The author collected or supervised the collection of 54 rock samples and lithologically interesting specimens from several showings and rock units on Property. All collection sites were clearly marked with labelled flagging tape and recorded by GPS coordinates and field notes were compiled in a spreadsheet. GPS coordinates were established by the author using a Garmin Model 62s unit and by assistant Roger Kennedy using a Garmin 64 handheld unit. Coordinates were transferred into a GIS by the author using gpx files stored in the devices. Rock samples were collected in labelled 6 ml plastic sample bags.

Subsequent to the field collection, the author reexamined all of the rocks at his place of business, redescribed them, analyzed spots of interest using a Niton XL3t portable XRF unit, and reserved a small piece of each sample for reconciliation with the laboratory analysis. The rock bags were then identified with sequential Tyvek numbered tags and sealed by the author. The rocks were shipped by the author from Campbell River via Comox Pacific Express in sealed bags to the ALS Canada Ltd (“ALS”) laboratory in North Vancouver.

During the exploration program the rock samples were always under the supervision of the author and were stored in locked vehicles or cabins to prevent public tampering until shipped.

55

Sample Laboratory Procedures and Analysis

At the ALS laboratory, the rock samples were catalogued, dried, crushed, split and pulverized using standard rock and soil preparation procedures. All of the rock samples were prepared for assay by fine crushing method CRU-31 which requires 70% passing through a 2 mm screen. The passing crushed material was then riffle split and a proportional split of 1000 grams pulverized to 85% passing through a 75 micrometer screen from which the sample for analytical digestion was taken. All of the 54 rocks were reported in ALS Canada Ltd file VA21326842 as secure pdf certificates of analysis and csv files sent to the author by e-mail. Whole rock samples were analyzed by whole rock method CCP-Pkg01 in the sample series J490288 to J490295, and mineralized samples by MEMS61 in the series J490400 to J490445.

The 46 mineralized rocks were analysed for 48 elements by ALS protocol ME-MS61 (Inductively coupled plasma - mass spectroscopy “MS”). ME-MS61 involves a 4 acid dissolution in H3ClO4 -HNO3 - HCl; followed by the evaporation to dryness of the digest solution and then an HCl leach of the residue to create the analytical solution. Analytes reported above the dynamic range of the ICP-MS instrument for ME-MS61 in 29 samples and were reanalyzed using ME-OG62 4 acid dissolution and ICP-AES analysis for Ag, Cu and Zn. Four samples above 100 ppm Ag were reassayed by Ag-OG62, 28 samples above 1% Cu by CuOG62 and 3 samples above 1% Zn by Zn-OG62.

Whole rock analysis of 8 samples collected by the author utilized ALS method CCP-Pkg01 which involves selected procedures for each type of element to ensure complete dissolution of particular elements from the refractory minerals, and the measurement of each element by methods appropriate to avoid analytical overlaps. Major elements were measured by fusing a portion of the rock powder with lithium metaborate prior to dissolution and ICP analysis. Trace elements, and REEs were analyzed by 2 ICP MS methods involving either direct dissolution of an aliquot of the rock powder or of the lithium metaborate fused powder. Carbon and Sulphur were analyzed by Leco furnace and IR spectroscopy.

For the rock samples, quality control was ensured by XRF spot analyses, and representative pieces of each sample. No other QA/QC procedures were deemed to be necessary prior to submission of either the 46 mineralized rocks or the 8 whole rocks samples considering the diversity of sample types and small size of the datasets.

The analytical laboratory QA/QC procedures included inserting into the laboratory sample stream a series of appropriate certified rock standards that allow a statistical assessment of accuracy relative to established concentrations of various elements. Precision is assessed by the degree of variation of concentrations reported for an element in successive analyses of the same standard and by reanalysis of a small number of randomly selected field samples. The monitor contamination, ALS inserts a series of blanks in the laboratory analytical stream which are analyzed for all elements. Elements that returned concentrations above the analytical limit for ME-ICP61 or ME-MS61 were reanalyzed using a sequence of quantitative methods for higher concentrations of base and precious metals as required.

ALS is a certified commercial lab with ISO 9001:2000 certification and no connection to Questcorp or the author other than a regular service provider - client relationship. The laboratories in North Vancouver has also been accredited to ISO 17025 standards for specific laboratory procedures by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC). ALS is a subsidiary of ALS Global, which is a leading testing, inspection, certification and verification company head-quartered in Brisbane, Australia that services multiple industries globally and employs over 13,000 staff in over 65 countries.

Data Verification

The Technical Report includes data from the following categories:

  • Historical exploration data including field geological descriptions, geochemical data for rocks and soils, geophysical data from Induced Polarization surveys and airborne magnetometer surveys, and diamond drilling.

  • Current exploration data including 54 rock samples from the Property.

56

  • Current exploration data from a Property-wide airborne magnetometer survey.

Historical data was generally in the form of maps and tables filed as assessment reports available in the public domain on the British Columbia Assessment Report Information System. Typically, no QA/QC data was presented with the geochemical data and the main presentation was as labelled points on grid maps in many cases with very imprecise reference points. Where possible these maps were georeferenced so that the data could be reviewed spatially with respect to known geology of mineralization. Some larger datasets had been statistically analyzed by the authors to determine geochemical threshold and anomalous levels appropriate to the dynamic range and sensitivity of the analytical methods employed, which were different than those in current use.

For current geochemical data, the author compared the ALS Geochemistry analyses to spot analyses conducted by the author using a Niton ZL3t Model handheld XRF and found them to be consistent given the grade variations between the spots selected by the author for the XRF analyses and their proportion in relation to the heterogeneity of the much larger sample.

The geochemical data was examined by the author in statistical plots (box plots and correlation diagrams) and variation diagrams for trends and patterns that might highlight both natural variations and unusual inconsistencies in the individual data points.

The author’s QA/QC review initially involved scanning the laboratory analytical data in tabular form for unusual trends indicative of laboratory cross contamination such as observing high concentrations of an element at the beginning of an analytical series (assuming that samples were run in order) that declined exponentially in successive samples. No unusual trends were observed, which was further confirmed by a lack of significant departure from normal values in the laboratory and marble field blanks. From reviewing the QA/QC data the author concluded that the analyses were statistically accurate and precise, and without external contamination as indicated by laboratory blanks. The author then reconciled the laboratory assays with the spot XRF analyses taking into account the small volumes represented by the XRF measurements and compared these to the small hand specimens. From this assessment the author concluded that the data set was representative of natural element concentrations in rocks.

The author compiled the analytical and sample coordinate data into ArcGIS and checked coordinates for plotting irregularities related to poor signals by variations in coordinates for fixed sites either over time or between GPS units. Generally, it was acknowledged that under adverse conditions the Garmin 64 coordinates were more precise. For the actual assay data, the author replaced element concentrations that were reported as below detection limit (e.g. <10 ppm) with a numerical value of half the detection limit (e.g. 5 ppm) to allow numerical processing of the data. The data were then statistically and graphically analyzed for significant variations and plotted on geological maps of the showings.

The geophysical data was verified by examining the internal consistency of the maps compared to known geology and expected responses, and evaluating the logistics and methodology reports accompanying the data. The author also directly communicated with the geophysicists who conducted the UAV Magnetometer surveys to inquire about conditions on the surveys, equipment issues, and characteristics such as sensor height. As well, the new magnetometer survey data were compared with data from older surveys and found to be consistent, but at much higher resolutions.

In the author’s opinion the quality of the data collected is wholly adequate for verifying and augmenting previous geological mapping and assessing the grades of mineralization in known showings. The work is appropriate for the purposes of early stage exploration of the North Island Copper Property as laid out in this Technical Report (pursuant to item 12 (c) of Form NI 43-101 (F1)) within the limitations described by the author regarding analytical methods used.

EXPLORATION, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION

ESCROWED SECURITIES AND SECURITIES SUBJECT TO CONTRACTUAL RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER

ESCROWED SECURITIES

Under the applicable policies and notices of the Canadian Securities Administrators, securities held by Principals are required to be held in escrow in accordance with the national escrow regime applicable to initial public distributions. Equity securities owned or controlled by Principals, including Common Shares and Warrants, are subject to the escrow requirements.

Principals include all persons or companies that, on completion of the Offering, fall into one of the following categories:

  1. a person or company who acted as a promoter of the Company within two years before the Prospectus;

  2. a director or senior officer of the Company or any of its material operating subsidiaries at the time of the Prospectus;

  3. a 20% holder – a person or company that holds securities carrying more than 20% of the voting rights attached to the Company’s outstanding securities immediately before and immediately after the Company’s Offering;

  4. a 10% holder – a person or company that:

  6. (b) has elected or appointed, or has the right to elect or appoint, one or more directors or senior officers of the Company or any of its material operating subsidiaries.

A company, trust, partnership or other entity more than 50% held by one or more principals will be treated as a principal and a principal’s spouse and their relatives that live at the same address as the principal will also be treated as principals.

The Principals of the Company are all of the directors and senior officers of the Company.

Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to be entered into between the Company, Endeavor Trust Corporation (the “ Escrow Agent ”) and various Principals of the Company, the Principals agree to deposit in escrow the Common Shares and Warrants held by them (the “ Escrowed Securities ”) with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agreement will provide that the Escrowed Securities will be released from escrow in equal blocks of 15% of a Principal’s Escrowed Securities at six month intervals over the 36 months following the Listing Date, with 10% of each Principal’s holdings being released on the Listing Date.

The Company is an “emerging issuer” as defined in the applicable policies and notices of the Canadian Securities Administrators. If the Company achieves “established issuer” status during the term of the Escrow Agreement, it will “graduate,” resulting in a catch-up release and an accelerated release of any securities remaining in escrow under the 18-month schedule applicable to established issuers, as if the Company had originally been classified as an established issuer.

Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed Securities may not be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the term of the Escrow Agreement unless the transfers or dealings within the escrow are:

  1. transfers to continuing or, upon their appointment, incoming directors and senior officers of the Company or of a material operating subsidiary, with approval of the Company’s Board;

67

  1. transfers to an RRSP or similar trustee plan provided that the only beneficiaries are the transferor or the transferor’s spouse or children;

  2. transfers upon bankruptcy to the trustee in bankruptcy; and

  3. pledges, mortgages or loans to a financial institution as collateral for a bona fide loan, provided that upon a realization the securities remain subject to escrow. Tenders of Escrowed Securities to a take-over bid are permitted provided that, if the tenderer is a Principal of the successor corporation upon completion of the take-over bid, securities received in exchange for tendered Escrowed Securities are substituted in escrow on the basis of the successor corporation’s escrow classification.

The complete text of the Escrow Agreement will be available for inspection at the head office of the Company, Suite 250, 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T7 or at the Company’s profile on SEDAR.

Any salary or bonus would be determined at the absolute discretion of the board and there are presently no performance criteria, goals or peer groups which have been set or identified in relation to NEO compensation.

The Company does not expect to provide any cash compensation to its NEOs for the next financial year of the Company, except as disclosed below.

The Company currently pays, and expects to continue paying, CEO professional fees to Satvir Dhillon, at

a monthly rate of $4,000.

Director compensation is determined by the directors, acting as a whole. The only arrangements the Company has pursuant to which directors are compensated by the Company for their services in their capacity as directors, or for committee participation, involvement in special assignments or for services as a consultant or expert during the most recently completed financial year or subsequently, are by the issuance of incentive stock options pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan.

The purpose of granting such options is to assist the Company in compensating, attracting, retaining and motivating the directors of the Company and to closely align the personal interests of such persons to that of the shareholders.

EXTERNAL MANAGEMENT COMPANIES

All NEOs acting for the Company act on their own behalf and do not presently provide their services through an external management company.

INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

Stock Option Plan

The Company intends to put into place a Stock Option Plan on the Closing Date in order to provide effective incentives to directors, officers, senior management personnel and employees of the Company and to enable the Company to attract and retain experienced and qualified individuals in those positions by permitting such individuals to directly participate in an increase in per share value created for the Company’s shareholders. The Stock Option Plan will be approved and adopted on the Closing Date and will not subject to shareholder approval under the rules of the Exchange. The Company has no equity incentive plans other than the intended Stock Option Plan.

Details on the Stock Option Plan and the stock options granted as of the date of this Prospectus, including material terms, can be found in section “Options to Purchase Securities”.

EMPLOYMENT, CONSULTING, AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

The Company has no employment, consulting or management agreements in place.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Offering will be made in accordance with the Agency Agreement and the rules and policies of the Exchange. This Offering consists of 5,000,000 Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000. If the Offering is not completed within 90 days of the issuance of a receipt for the final Prospectus, and unless an amendment is filed and receipted in which case the offering shall be extended for a further 90 days from the issuance of a receipt for the amendment to the final Prospectus but in any event not more than 180 days from the date of the receipt for the final Prospectus, the Offering will cease and all subscription monies will be returned to Subscribers without interest or deduction, unless the Subscribers have otherwise instructed the Agent. Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the Company has engaged the Agent to act as its exclusive agent to conduct the Offering in the Selling Provinces, on a commercially reasonable efforts basis. The Agent may enter into selling group arrangements with other investment dealers at no additional cost to the Company. The Agent will receive, on the Closing Date:

  1. The Corporate Finance Fee of $35,000 of which $25,000 is payable in cash and $10,000 is payable through the issuance of the Corporate Finance Shares;

  2. The Agent’s Commission of 10% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, payable in cash;

  3. The Agent’s Warrants in an amount equal to 10% of the Shares sold under the Offering, where each Agent’s Warrant provides the right to acquire one Agent’s Warrant Share, exercisable at a price of $0.10 per Agent’s Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date; and

  4. The Agent’s Expenses, of which a retainer of $25,000 has been paid toward such expenses.

The Agent’s Warrants are qualified for distribution under this Prospectus. Section 11.2 of National Instrument 41-10 General Prospectus Requirements restricts the maximum number of securities issued as compensation to the Agent that may be qualified under the Prospectus to 10% of the total number of securities distributed under the Prospectus. In this regard, the Corporate Finance Shares will not be qualified for distribution under this Prospectus and will be subject to a four month hold in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The Agent has agreed to assist with the Offering on a commercially reasonable efforts basis but is not obligated to purchase any of the Shares for its own account.

Subscriptions will be received for the Shares subject to rejection or acceptance by the Company in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time. Upon rejection of a subscription or in the event that the Offering does not complete within the term of the Agency Agreement or the time required by the rules of the Securities Commissions, the subscription price and the subscription will be returned to the Subscriber forthwith without interest or deduction. Physical certificates representing the Shares acquired hereunder will be delivered on the Closing Date unless the Agent elects for electronic delivery by NCI through CDS or its nominee and will be deposited with CDS on the Closing Date. If delivered in NCI form, no physical certificates evidencing the Shares will be issued to purchasers under this Prospectus, a registration will be made in the depository services of CDS. Purchasers of Shares will receive

74

only a customer confirmation from the Agent or registered dealer that is a CDS participant and from whom or through whom a beneficial interest in the Shares were purchased.

The Agency Agreement will provide that, upon the occurrence of certain stated events such as the breach of any term of the Agency Agreement by the Company or at the discretion of the Agent on the basis of its assessment of the state of the financial markets or the market for the Shares that the Shares cannot be marketed profitably, the Agent may terminate the Offering.

There are no payments in cash, securities or other consideration being made, or to be made, to a promoter, finder or any other person or company in connection with the Offering other than the payments to be made to the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement as set out above.

Pursuant to the Agency Agreement to be entered into between the Agent and the Company, the Company will grant to the Agent the right of first refusal to provide any brokered equity financing for a period of one year from the Closing Date.

The Agency Agreement will further provide that the Company agrees not to, directly or indirectly, issue, sell or grant or agree to announce any intention to issue, sell, or grant, any additional equity or quasi-equity securities for a period of 120 days after the Closing without the prior written consent of the Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, except in conjunction with: (i) the grant or exercise of stock options and other similar issuances pursuant to the Stock Option Plan and other share compensation arrangements; (ii) outstanding warrants; and (iii) obligations in respect of existing mineral property agreements.

Closing of the Offering is subject to conditions which are set out in the Agency Agreement.

The directors, officers and other insiders of the Company may purchase Shares under the Offering. The price of the Shares offered under this Prospectus was determined by negotiation between the Company and the Agent and bears no relationship to earnings, book value or other valuation criteria.

LISTING OF COMMON SHARES

The Exchange has conditionally approved the Company’s application to list its Common Shares on the Exchange. Listing will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the Exchange.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company does not have any of its securities listed or quoted, has not applied to list or quote any of its securities and does not intend to apply to list or quote any of its securities on The Toronto Stock Exchange, Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc., a U.S. marketplace, or a marketplace outside Canada and the United States of America (other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchanged or the PLUS markets operated by PLUS Markets Group PLC). See “Risk Factors”.

RISK FACTORS

GENERAL

The Company is in the business of exploring mineral properties, which is a highly speculative endeavor. A purchase of any of the securities offered hereunder involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by purchasers whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. An investment in the securities offered hereunder should not constitute a major portion of an individual’s investment portfolio and should only be made by persons who can afford a total loss of their investment. Prospective purchasers should carefully evaluate the following risk factors associated with an investment in the Company’s securities prior to purchasing any of the securities offered hereunder.

INSUFFICIENT CAPITAL

The Company does not currently have any revenue producing operations and may, from time to time, report a working capital deficit. To maintain its activities, the Company will require additional funds which may be

75

obtained either by the sale of equity capital or by entering into an option or joint venture agreement with a third party providing such funding. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing; failure to do so could result in the loss or substantial dilution of the Company’s interest in the North Island Copper Property.

There can be no assurance that financing will be available to the Company or, if it is, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company and will be sufficient to fund cash needs until the Company achieves positive cash flow. If the Company is unable to obtain the financing necessary to support its operations, it may be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company currently has no commitments for any credit facilities such as revolving credit agreements or lines of credit that could provide additional working capital. The Company has no long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating leases or any other long-term obligations.

NO ESTABLISHED MARKET

The Company has applied to list the securities distributed under this Prospectus on the Exchange. Listing will be subject to the Company fulfilling all the listing requirements of the Exchange. There is currently no market through which the Company’s securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Shares purchased under this Prospectus. Even if a market develops, there is no assurance that the Offering Price of the Shares offered under this Prospectus, which was determined through negotiations between the Company and the Agent, will reflect the market price of the Shares once a market has developed. If an active public market for the Shares does not develop, the liquidity of a shareholder’s investment may be limited and the share price may decline below the initial public Offering Price.

LIMITED BUSINESS HISTORY

The Company has only recently commenced operations and has no history of operating earnings. The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of any business. The Company has limited financial resources and there is no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further operations or to fulfill its obligations under applicable agreements. There is no assurance that the Company can generate revenues, operate profitably or provide a return on investment or that it will successfully implement its plans.

HIGH RISK, SPECULATIVE NATURE OF INVESTMENT

An investment in the Shares carries a high degree of risk and should be considered speculative by purchasers. There is a low probability of dividends being paid on the Shares.

RESALE OF SHARES

The continued operation of the Company will be dependent upon its ability to generate operating revenues and to procure additional financing. There can be no assurance that any such revenues can be generated or that other financing can be obtained. If the Company is unable to generate such revenues or obtain such additional financing, any investment in the Company may be lost. In such event, the probability of resale of the Shares purchased would be diminished.

LIQUIDITY CONCERNS AND FUTURE FINANCING REQUIREMENTS

After completion of the Offering, the Company may require additional financing in order to fund its ongoing exploration program on the Property. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing in the future will depend, in part, upon prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business success of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to the Company. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of Shares from treasury, control of the Company may change and shareholders may suffer additional dilution. The further exploration and development of the Property and any other mineral properties in which the Company may hold an interest will also require additional equity or debt financing. Failure to obtain additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development or forfeiture of some

76

rights in the Company’s mineral properties. Events in the equity market may impact the Company’s ability to raise additional capital in the future.

If available, future equity financing may result in substantial dilution to purchasers under the Offering. At present, it is impossible to determine what amounts of additional funds, if any, may be required.

PROPERTY INTERESTS

The Company does not own the mineral rights pertaining to the Property. Rather, it holds an option to acquire the mineral rights. There is no guarantee the Company will be able to raise sufficient funding in the future to explore and develop the Property so as to maintain its interests therein. If the Company loses or abandons its interest in the Property, there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire another mineral property of merit or that such an acquisition would be approved by the Exchange. There is also no guarantee that the Exchange will approve the acquisition of any additional properties by the Company, whether by way of option or otherwise, should the Company wish to acquire any additional properties.

Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. The discovery of mineral deposits is dependent upon a number of factors. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is also dependent upon a number of factors, some of which relate to particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, and some of which are more general factors such as metal prices and government regulations, including environmental protection. Most of these factors are beyond the control of the Company. In addition, because of these risks, there is no certainty that the expenditures to be made by the Company on the exploration of its Property as described herein will result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore.

The Company has no history of operating earnings and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of problems, expenses, etc. which may be encountered in establishing a business.

FINANCING RISKS

The Company has no history of earnings and, due to the nature of its business, there can be no assurance that the Company will be profitable. The Company has paid no dividends on its Common Shares since incorporation and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The only present source of funds available to the Company is through the sale of its equity shares. Even if the results of exploration are encouraging, the Company may not have sufficient funds to conduct the further exploration that may be necessary to determine whether or not a commercially minable deposit exists on the North Island Copper Property. While the Company may generate additional working capital through further equity offerings or through the sale or possible syndication of its North Island Copper Property, there is no assurance that any such funds will be available. If available, future equity financing may result in substantial dilution to purchasers under the Offering. At present it is impossible to determine what amounts of additional funds, if any, may be required.

NEGATIVE OPERATING CASH FLOW

The Company has negative operating cash flow. The failure of the Company to achieve profitability and positive operating cash flows could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that the Company has negative cash flow in future periods, the Company may need to deploy a portion of its cash reserves to fund such negative cash flow. The Company expects to continue to sustain operating losses in the future until it generates revenue from the commercial production of its properties. There is no guarantee that the Company will ever be profitable.

EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality

77

to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.

There is no assurance that the Company’s mineral exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore. The long-term profitability of the Company’s operations will, in part, be directly related to the costs and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.

ACQUISITION OF ADDITIONAL MINERAL PROPERTIES

If the Company loses or abandons its interest in the North Island Copper Property, there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire another mineral property of merit or that such an acquisition would be approved by the Exchange. There is also no guarantee that the Exchange will approve the acquisition of any additional properties by the Company, whether by way of option or otherwise, should the Company wish to acquire any additional properties.

COMMERCIAL ORE DEPOSITS

The North Island Copper Property is in the exploration stage only and is without a known body of commercial ore. Development of the North Island Copper Property will follow only if favourable exploration results are obtained. The business of exploration for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

UNINSURABLE RISKS

In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, certain risks, in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and the Company may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.

PERMITS AND GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

The future operations of the Company may require permits from various federal, provincial and local governmental authorities and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, export, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, land use, environmental protections, mine safety and other matters. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary permits and approvals that may be required to undertake exploration activity or commence construction or operation of mine facilities on the Company’s North Island Copper Property. The Company currently does not have any permits in place.

SURFACE EXPLORATION RIGHTS

Permission for surface access must be negotiated with the owners of the surface rights to the areas covered by the mining concessions, and commonly involve leasing of the surface rights. The Company currently does not have any agreements in place regarding the North Island Copper Property, and there is no guarantee the Company will be able to negotiate and enter into any such agreement as may be required to have access to do significant work. Further, there are potential risks with regard to the completion of a

78

successful exploration program in that there is a possibility of not being able to enter into a surface access agreement over part of the area of interest, or problems with obtaining an environmental permit for road construction and drilling.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY REGULATIONS AND RISKS

Environmental laws and regulations may affect the operations of the Company. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality. They provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to rehabilitate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. The permission to operate can be withdrawn temporarily where there is evidence of serious breaches of health and safety standards, or even permanently in the case of extreme breaches. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous owners of acquired properties or noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations. In all major developments, the Company generally relies on recognized designers and development contractors from which the Company will, in the first instance, seek indemnities. The Company intends to minimize risks by taking steps to ensure compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and operating to applicable environmental standards. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous, making the Company’s operations more expensive.

The Property is located in an area known for its strong environmental activism and the Company may encounter strong opposition for any of its exploration and development plans which could result in significant delays to the Company’s plans, or result in increased costs to the Company.

NO ASSURANCES

There is no assurance that economic mineral deposits will ever be discovered, or if discovered, subsequently put into production. Most exploration activities do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits. The Company’s future growth and profitability will depend, in part, on its ability to identify and expand its mineral reserves through additional exploration of the Property and on the costs and results of continued exploration and development programs. Mining exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and frequently is not productive. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable ore deposits and no assurance can be given that any anticipated level of recovery of mineral reserves will be realized or that any identified mineral deposit will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) ore body which can be legally and economically exploited. There can be no assurance that the Company’s exploration efforts at the Property will be successful.

MINERAL TITLES

The Company has not yet obtained a title opinion in respect of the North Island Copper Property. The claims on the Property have not been legally surveyed. The Property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and title may be affected by undetected defects. The Company is satisfied, however, that evidence of title to the Property is adequate and acceptable by prevailing industry standards with respect to the current stage of exploration on the Property.

FIRST NATIONS LAND CLAIMS

The North Island Copper Property may now or in the future be the subject of First Nations’ land claims. The Property is located in an area known for strong First Nations’ concerns that could prove to be a problem for any extensive development on the Property. The legal nature of Aboriginal land claims is a matter of considerable complexity. The impact of any such claim on the Company’s ownership interest in the Property cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty and no assurance can be given that a broad recognition of Aboriginal rights in the area in which the Property is located, by way of a negotiated settlement or judicial pronouncement, would not have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities. Even in the absence of such recognition, the Company will at some point be required to negotiate with First Nations in order to facilitate exploration and development work on the Property and there is no assurance that the Company

79

will be able to establish a practical working relationship with the First Nations in the area which would allow it to ultimately develop the Property.

First Nations’ rights may be claimed on Crown properties or other types of tenure with respect to which mining rights have been conferred. The Supreme Court of Canada’s 2014 decision in Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia marked the first time in Canadian history that a court has declared First Nations’ title and rights to lands outside of reserve land, particularly a large area of land in Central British Columbia, including rights to decide how the land will be used, occupancy and economic benefits. The Property may now or in the future be the subject of Aboriginal or indigenous land claims.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

Even if the Property is proven to host economic reserves of precious or non-precious metals, factors such as governmental expropriation or regulation may prevent or restrict mining of any such deposits. Exploration and mining activities may be affected in varying degrees by government policies and regulations relating to the mining industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of the Property, environmental legislation and mine safety.

FLUCTUATING MINERAL PRICES AND CURRENCY RISK

The Company’s revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the extraction and sale of precious and base minerals and metals. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of metals discovered, if any. Metal prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. Consequently, the economic viability of any of the Company’s exploration projects cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in mineral prices. In addition, currency fluctuations may affect the cash flow which the Company may realize from its operations, since most mineral commodities are sold in a world market in US dollars.

COMPETITION

The mining industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes for the acquisition of mineral properties, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than the Company. The competition in the mineral exploration and development business could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to acquire suitable properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.

MANAGEMENT

The success of the Company is currently largely dependent on the performance of its directors and officers. The loss of the services of any of these persons could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business and prospects. There is no assurance the Company can maintain the services of its directors, officers or other qualified personnel required to operate its business.

TAX ISSUES

Income tax consequences in relation to the Shares will vary according to the circumstances by each purchaser. Prospective purchasers should seek independent advice from their own tax and legal advisors prior to subscribing for Shares.

DILUTION

The Offering Price of the Shares issuable under this Offering significantly exceeds the net tangible book value per Common Share and, accordingly, investors will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of their investment in the amount of 49.6% or $0.0496 per Common Share after considering costs associated with the Offering.

80

PRICE VOLATILITY OF PUBLICLY TRADED SECURITIES

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. It may be anticipated that any quoted market for the Common Shares will be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Company in creating revenues, cash flows or earnings. The value of the Shares distributed hereunder will be affected by such volatility. There is no public market for the Company’s Common Shares. An active public market for the Common Shares might not develop or be sustained after the Offering. The initial public Offering Price of the Shares has been determined by negotiations between the Company and representatives of the Agent and this price will not necessarily reflect the prevailing market price of the Shares following the Offering. If an active public market for the Common Shares does not develop, the liquidity of a shareholder’s investment may be limited and the share price may decline below the Offering Price.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Exploration, development and processing activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important elements of infrastructure, which affect access, capital and operating costs. The lack of availability on acceptable terms or the delay in the availability of any one or more of these items could prevent or delay exploration or development of the Property. If adequate infrastructure is not available in a timely manner, there can be no assurance that the exploration or development of the Property will be commenced or completed on a timely basis, if at all. Furthermore, unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of necessary infrastructure could adversely affect our operations.

RISK ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITIONS

If appropriate opportunities present themselves, the Company may acquire mineral claims, material interests in other mineral claims, and companies that the Company believes are strategic. The Company currently has no understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any other material acquisition and no other material acquisition is currently being pursued. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify, negotiate or finance future acquisitions successfully, or to integrate such acquisitions with its current business. The process of integrating an acquired company or mineral claims into the Company may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of the Company’s business. Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

UNCERTAINTY OF USE OF PROCEEDS

Although the Company has set out its intended use of proceeds in this Prospectus, these intended uses are estimates only and subject to change. While management does not contemplate any material variation, management does retain broad discretion in the application of such proceeds. The failure by the Company to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, including the Company’s ability to achieve its stated business objectives.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Some of the directors and officers of the Company are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for additional business opportunities on behalf of other corporations and situations may arise where these directors and officers will be in direct competition with the Company. Conflicts, if any, will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Some of the directors and officers of the Company are or may become directors or officers of other companies

81

engaged in other business ventures. In order to avoid the possible conflict of interest which may arise between the directors’ duties to the Company and their duties to the other companies on whose boards they serve, the directors and officers of the Company have agreed to the following:

  1. participation in other business ventures offered to the directors will be allocated between the various companies and on the basis of prudent business judgment and the relative financial abilities and needs of the companies to participate;

  2. no commissions or other extraordinary consideration will be paid to such directors and officers; and

  3. business opportunities formulated by or through other companies in which the directors and officers are involved will not be offered to the Company except on the same or better terms than the basis on which they are offered to third party participants.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYEE RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION

The success of the Company will be dependent upon the performance of its management and key employees. The loss of any key executive or manager of the Company may have an adverse effect on the future of the Company’s business. The number of persons skilled in acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties is limited and competition for such persons is intense. As the Company’s business activity grows, it will require additional key financial, administrative, geologic and mining personnel as well as additional operations staff. There is no assurance that it will be successful in attracting, training and retaining qualified personnel as competition for persons with these skill sets increases. If the Company is not successful in attracting, training and retaining qualified personnel, the efficiency of its operations could be impaired, which could have an adverse impact on its future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

STRESS IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

Reduction in credit, combined with reduced economic activity and the fluctuations in the United States dollar, may adversely affect businesses and industries that purchase commodities, affecting commodity prices in more significant and unpredictable ways than the normal risks associated with commodity prices. The availability of services such as drilling contractors and geological service companies and/or the terms on which these services are provided may be adversely affected by the economic impact on the service providers. The adverse effects on the capital markets generally make the raising of capital by equity or debt financing much more difficult and the Company is dependent upon the capital markets to raise financing. Any of these events, or any other events caused by turmoil in world financial markets, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

FORCE MAJEURE

The Company’s Property now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company, including the price of gold on world markets, labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

CURRENT GLOBAL FINANCIAL CONDITION

Current global financial conditions have been subject to increased volatility. As such, the Company is subject to counterparty risk and liquidity risk. The Company is exposed to various counterparty risks including, but not limited to: (i) through financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash; (ii) through companies that have payables to the Company; and (iii) through the Company’s insurance providers. The Company is also exposed to liquidity risks in meeting its operating expenditure requirements in instances where cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. These factors may impact the ability of the Company to obtain loans and other credit facilities in the future and, if obtained, on terms favourable to the Company. If these increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company’s operations could be adversely impacted and the trading price of the Common Shares could be adversely affected.

82

REPORTING ISSUER STATUS

As a reporting issuer, the Company will be subject to reporting requirements under applicable securities law and stock exchange policies. Compliance with these requirements will increase legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming or costly, and increase demand on existing systems and resources. Among other things, the Company will be required to file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to its business and results of operations and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm the Company’s business and results of operations.

The Company may need to hire additional employees to comply with these requirements in the future, which would increase its costs and expenses.

Management of the Company expects that being a reporting issuer will make it more expensive to maintain director and officer liability insurance. This factor could also make it more difficult for the Company to retain qualified directors and executive officers.

OPERATING HAZARDS, RISKS AND INSURANCE

The ownership, exploration, operation and development of a mine or mineral property involves many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. These risks include environmental hazards, industrial accidents, explosions and third-party accidents, the encountering of unusual or unexpected geological formations, ground falls and cave-ins, mechanical failure, unforeseen metallurgical difficulties, power interruptions, flooding, earthquakes and periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These occurrences could result in environmental damage and liabilities, work stoppages, delayed production and resultant losses, increased production costs, damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or production facilities and resultant losses, personal injury or death and resultant losses, asset write downs, monetary losses, claims for compensation of loss of life and/or damages by third parties in connection with accidents (for loss of life and/or damages and related pain and suffering) that occur on Company property, and punitive awards in connection with those claims and other liabilities.

It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks, and the Company may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in an increase in costs and a decline in value of our securities. Liabilities that the Company incurs may exceed the policy limits of insurance coverage or may not be covered by insurance, in which event the Company could incur significant costs that could adversely impact its business, operations, potential profitability or value. Despite efforts to attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as the retention of qualified consultants, to manage the Company’s interests, even when those efforts are successful, people are fallible and human error could result in significant uninsured losses. These could include loss or forfeiture of mineral interests or other assets for non-payment of fees or taxes, significant tax liabilities in connection with any tax planning effort the Company might undertake and legal claims for errors or mistakes by personnel.

EXPERTS

De Visser Gray LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants have audited the Company’s audited financial statements for the period from incorporation on April 9, 2021 to July 31, 2021 and for the year ended July 31, 2022.

Hardolph Wasteneys, Ph.D., P.Geo., is the Author of the Report on the Property and is responsible for certain information of a scientific or technical nature relating to the North Island Copper Property in this Prospectus.

The information in this Prospectus under the heading “ Eligibility for Investment ” has been included in reliance upon the opinion of Cassels Brock and Blackwell LLP.

No person or company whose profession or business gives authority to a report, valuation, statement or opinion and whom is named as having prepared or certified a report or valuation described or included in this Prospectus holds or is to hold any beneficial or registered interest, direct or indirect, in any securities or property of the Company or any associate of the Company.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COMPANY’S PROFESSIONAL PERSONS AND EXPERTS

There is no beneficial interest, direct or indirect, in any securities in excess of one percent of the Company’s issued capital or property of the Company or of an associate or affiliate of the Company, held by a professional person as referred to in section 106(1) of the Rules under the Securities Act (British Columbia), a responsible solicitor or any partner of a responsible solicitor’s firm or by any person or company whose profession or business gives authority to a statement made by the person or company and who is named as having prepared or certified a part of this Prospectus or prepared or certified a report or valuation described or included in this Prospectus.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Cassels Brock and Blackwell LLP, counsel to the Company, based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the “ Tax Act ”) in force on the date hereof, the Shares, if issued on the date hereof, would be “qualified investments” for trusts governed by a “registered retirement savings plan”, “registered retirement income fund”, “registered education savings plan”, “registered disability savings plan”, “tax-free savings account”, “first home savings account” (collectively, referred to as “ Registered Plans ”) or a “deferred profit sharing plan” (“ DPSP ”), each as defined in the Tax Act, provided that the Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the Exchange) or the company qualifies as a “public corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act).

The Shares are not currently listed on a “designated stock exchange” and the Company is not currently a “public corporation”, as that term is defined in the Tax Act. The Company will apply to list the Shares on the Exchange as of the day before the Closing, followed by an immediate halt in trading of the Shares in order to allow the Company to satisfy the conditions of the Exchange and to have the Shares listed and posted for trading prior to the issuance of the Shares on the Closing. The Company must rely on the Exchange to list the Shares on the Exchange and have them posted for trading prior to the issuance of the Shares on the Closing and to otherwise proceed in such manner as may be required to result in the Shares being listed on the Exchange at the time of their issuance on Closing. If the Shares are not listed on the Exchange at the time of their issuance on the Closing and the Company is not a “public corporation” at that time, the Shares will not be qualified investments for Registered Plans or a DPSP at that time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder or subscriber of, or an annuitant under, a Registered Plan, as the case may be (the “ Controlling Individual ”), will be subject to a penalty tax if the Shares held in the Registered Plan are a “prohibited investment” (as defined in the Tax Act) for the Registered Plan. The Shares will generally be a “prohibited investment” for a Registered Plan if the Controlling Individual does not deal at arm’s length with the Company for the purposes of the Tax Act or has a “significant interest” (as defined in the Tax Act) in the Company. In addition, the Shares generally will not be a prohibited investment if the Shares are “excluded property” within the meaning of the Tax Act for the Registered Plan.

85

Purchasers who intend to hold Shares in their Registered Plans should consult their own tax advisors in regard to the application of these rules in their particular circumstances.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Directors of Questcorp Mining Inc.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Questcorp Mining Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2022, July 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021, and the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2022, the year-ended July 31, 2022 and the period from inception on April 9 to July 31, 2021, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022, July 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the periods then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company has not incurred lossess since its inception. As stated in Note 1, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise adequate financing and to develop profitable operations. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis" but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

2

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is G. Cameron Dong.

QUESTCORP MINING INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended December 31, 2022, the year ended July 31, 2022 and the period from inception on April 9, 2021 to July 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Questcorp Mining Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on April 9, 2021. The head office of the Company is located at Suite 250, 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T7 and the registered and records office is located at Suite 2200, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8.

These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and the ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern depends upon its ability to raise adequate financing and to develop profitable operations. As at December 31 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital of $180,565 (July 31, 2022 - $18,305, July 31, 2021 - $826) and an accumulated deficit of $70,275 (July 31, 2022 - $54,149 , July 31, 2021 - $1,174). These items may cast a significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, economies, as well as financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. Efforts to contain the virus has severely limited the mobility of people and businesses, which in turn impacted the Company’s abilities to continue with any drilling program or raise the necessary funds. However, it is not possible for the Company at this time to predict the duration or magnitude of the impact towards the Company’s business or results from its operations.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These financial statements of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2022, the year ended July 31, 2022 and the period from inception on April 9, 2021 to July 31, 2021 have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

These financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial instruments

Classification

The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), or fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVOCI”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial liability is classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

An equity investment that is held for trading is measured at FVTPL. For other equity investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to designate them as FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets and liabilities classified as FVTPL, in which case the transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Subsequent measurement

The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial instruments:

Financial assets at FVTPL

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets at amortized cost

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Debt investments at FVOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of financial instruments

At each reporting date, the Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date, with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition, based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.

Exploration and evaluation assets

Costs related to pre-exploration are expensed as incurred while costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration and evaluation assets are capitalized by property until the commencement of commercial production. Each of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets is considered to be a cash generating unit. If commercially profitable ore reserves are developed, capitalized costs of the related property are reclassified as mining assets and amortized using the unit of production method. If, after management review, it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs are not recoverable over the estimated economic life of the property, or the property is abandoned, or management deems there to be an impairment in value, the property is written down to its net realizable value.

Any option payments received by the Company from third parties or tax credits refunded to the Company are credited to the capitalized cost of the exploration and evaluation assets. If payments received exceed the capitalized cost of the exploration and evaluation assets, the excess is recognized as income in the year received. The amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets do not necessarily represent present or future values. Their recoverability is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

Rehabilitation provision

The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations relating to environmental disturbances caused by exploration and evaluation activities. The Company records the present value of the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore the exploration sites in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The nature of rehabilitation activities includes restoration, reclamation, and re-vegetation of the affected exploration sites.

The rehabilitation provision generally arises when the environmental disturbance is subject to government laws and regulations. When the liability is recognized, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related mining assets. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the changes in present value based on current market discount rates and liability specific risks.

Additional environment disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs will be recognized as additions to the corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability in the period in which they occur.

The Company does not have any significant rehabilitation obligations.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Loss per share

The Company presents basic loss per share for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is antidilutive.

Income taxes

Income tax on the profit or loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is recorded using the statement of financial position liability method, providing for temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities which affect neither accounting nor taxable loss as well as differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statement of financial position date.

QUESTCORP MINING INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended December 31, 2022, the year ended July 31, 2022 and the period from inception on April 9, 2021 to July 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognized at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Flow-Through Shares

On issuance of flow-through shares, the Company bifurcates the flow-through share into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability and; ii) share capital. Upon qualifying expenditures being incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability and recognizes a deferred tax liability for the amount of tax reduction renounced to the shareholders. The premium is recognized as other income and the related deferred tax is recognized as a tax provision.

To the extent that the Company has deferred tax assets in the form of tax loss carry-forwards and other unused tax credits as at the reporting date, the Company may use them to reduce its deferred tax liability relating to tax benefits transferred through flow-through shares.

4. RECEIVABLES

The Company’s receivables arise from goods and services tax (“GST”) receivable due from the Canadian taxation authorities.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS

The Company is exposed to various financial instrument risks and assesses the impact and likelihood of this exposure. These risks include liquidity risk, credit risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

(a) Capital management

The Company manages its capital to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide adequate returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, and to have sufficient funds on hand for business opportunities as they arise.

The Company considers the items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through short-term prospectuses, private placements, sell assets, incur debt, or return capital to shareholders. As at December 31, 2022, the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $194,423. The Company’s cash is invested in business accounts with quality financial institutions, is available on demand for the Company’s programs, and is not invested in any asset-backed commercial paper.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and receivables. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s cash is held with a major Canadian based financial institution. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

(d) Currency risk

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk.

(e) Interest rate risk

The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS (continued)

  • (f) Fair values

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of cash is measured based on level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair values of other financial instruments, including receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are equal to their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

9. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company primarily operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition and development of exploration and evaluation assets in Canada.

QUESTCORP MINING INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Questcorp Mining Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on April 9, 2021. The head office of the Company is located at Suite 250, 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T7 and the registered and records office is located at Suite 2200, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8.

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and the ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern depends upon its ability to raise adequate financing and to develop profitable operations. As at April 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital of $131,421 (July 31, 2022 - $18,305) and an accumulated deficit of $138,425 (July 31, 2022 - $54,149). These items may cast a significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed interim financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, economies, as well as financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. Efforts to contain the virus has severely limited the mobility of people and businesses, which in turn impacted the Company’s abilities to continue with any drilling program or raise the necessary funds. However, it is not possible for the Company at this time to predict the duration or magnitude of the impact towards the Company’s business or results from its operations.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the periods ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

The condensed interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

QUESTCORP MINING INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

These condensed interim financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed interim financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company as at and for the year ended July 31, 2022.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS

The Company is exposed to various financial instrument risks and assesses the impact and likelihood of this exposure. These risks include liquidity risk, credit risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

(a) Capital management

The Company manages its capital to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide adequate returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, and to have sufficient funds on hand for business opportunities as they arise.

The Company considers the items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through short-term prospectuses, private placements, sell assets, incur debt, or return capital to shareholders. As at April 30, 2023, the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. As at April 30, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $101,801. The Company’s cash is invested in business accounts with quality financial institutions, is available on demand for the Company’s programs, and is not invested in any asset-backed commercial paper.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and receivables. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s cash is held with a major Canadian based financial institution. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

QUESTCORP MINING INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS (continued)

(d) Currency risk

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk.

  • (e) Interest rate risk

The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.

  • (f) Fair values

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of cash is measured based on level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair values of other financial instruments, including receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are equal to their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

8. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company primarily operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition and development of exploration and evaluation assets in Canada.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In June 2023, the Company filed a final long form prospectus offering through its agent, Canaccord Genuity Corp., of up to 5,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.10 per common share for gross proceeds of up to $500,000.

to the Prospectus of Questcorp Mining Inc. (the “Company”) dated September 13, 2023

SCHEDULE “C”

Pursuant to National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices , the Company is required to and hereby discloses its corporate governance practices as follows.

ITEM 1: BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The board of directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company’s management through frequent meetings of the Board. The Board reviews its procedures on an ongoing basis to ensure it is functioning independently of management. As circumstances require, the Board meets without management present and convenes meetings, as deemed necessary, of the independent directors, at which meetings non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance. When conflicts arise, interested parties are precluded from voting on matters in which they may have an interest.

Satvir Dhillon is Chief Executive Officer of the Company and is therefore not independent.

Scott Davis is the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and is therefore not independent.

Tim Henneberry, a director of the Company, is “independent” in that he is independent and free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s ability to act with the best interests of the Company, other than the interests and relationships arising from shareholdings.

C-1

ITEM 3: ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

The Board briefs all new directors with the policies of the Board and other relevant corporate and business information.

ITEM 4: ETHICAL BUSINESS CONDUCT

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

Under the corporate legislation, a director is required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances and disclose to the board the nature and extent of any interest of the director in any material contract or material transaction, whether made or proposed, if the director is a party to the contract or transaction, is a director or officer (or an individual acting in a similar capacity) of a party to the contract or transaction or has a material interest in a party to the contract or transaction. The director must then abstain from voting on the contract or transaction unless the contract or transaction (i) relates primarily to their remuneration as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or an affiliate of the Company, (ii) is for indemnity or insurance for the benefit of the director in connection with the Company, or (iii) is with an affiliate of the Company. If the director abstains from voting after disclosure of their interest, the directors approve the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the Company at the time it was entered into, the contract or transaction is not invalid and the director is not accountable to the Company for any profit realized from the contract or transaction. Otherwise, the director must have acted honestly and in good faith, the contract or transaction must have been reasonable and fair to the Company and the contract or transaction must be approved by the shareholders by a special resolution after receiving full disclosure of its terms in order for the director to avoid such liability or the contract or transaction being invalid.

ITEM 5: NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS

The Board is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become new Board members and recommending to the Board new director nominees for the next annual meeting the shareholders.

New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required, shown support for the Company’s mission and strategic objectives and a willingness to serve.

ITEM 6: COMPENSATION

The Board conducts reviews with regard to directors’ compensation once a year. To make its recommendation on directors’ compensation, the Board takes into account the types of compensation and the amounts paid to directors of comparable publicly traded Canadian companies.

ITEM 7: OTHER BOARD COMMITTEES
