ANNUAL MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

December 31, 2023

Radisson Mining Resources Inc.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Corporation as at December 31, 2023. The Corporation’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The reporting currency is the Canadian dollar (CAD) and all amounts presented in the MD&A are in Canadian dollars.

This MD&A, dated April 23, 2024, has been prepared in compliance with the provisions of Form 51-102F1 and approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The MD&A contains forward-looking statements that reflect, at the date of the MD&A, the Corporation’s expectations, estimates and projections with regard to its operations, the mining industry in general, and the economic environment in which it operates. Although reasonable, the statements entail a certain amount of risk and uncertainty and there is no guarantee that they will prove to be accurate. Consequently, actual results could be materially different from those implied or expressed by these forward-looking statements.

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

Radisson has a portfolio of two properties, covering a total area of 7,481 hectares in the AbitibiTémiscamingue and Nord-du-Québec regions of Quebec, Canada. Canada's political system is stable, and Quebec has a great deal to offer in terms of tax benefits, access to a qualified workforce and suppliers recognized for their expertise in the mining sector. In May 2023, the Fraser Institute ranked Quebec 8th in the world for its attractiveness investment for mining development. Radisson’s primary project, the O’Brien gold project, is located along the world-renowned Larder-Lake-Cadillac Break, which has hosted the majority of gold deposits in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.

O’BRIEN PROJECT

In August 2019, following a new structural interpretation of the O’Brien gold project (“O’Brien”), Radisson positioned the 100% owned asset as one of the highest-grade undeveloped projects in Canada. Shortly after, the Corporation launched a 20,000 m drill program with the main objectives of validating the interpretation and expanding mineralization along four steeply dipping high-grade mineralized trends, located 300 m, 600 m, 900 m and 1,200 m to the east of the O’Brien Mine. The Corporation’s drill program was expanded to 60,000 m for a total of 127,600 m completed in June 2022. The drill campaign successfully followed up on multiple high-grade intercepts which validated the interpretation and demonstrated the potential for resource growth.

In parallel, the Corporation completed environmental studies and continued to advance the permitting process required for an underground exploration program. Furthermore, the Corporation acquired the adjacent New Alger property expanding its land holding to approximately 5.2 km along the world-renowned Larder-Lake-Cadillac Break (“LLCB”) and adding 50 square kilometre of prospective land in the Pontiac sediments.

Mineral resource estimate on the O’Brien Project, March 2023

In March 2023, Radisson published a Mineral resource Estimate update (“MRE”) prepared in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) by the independent firm SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd (“SLR”).

The Mineral Resource estimate is based on 1,079 drill holes representing 299,200 m of drilling, and 120,352 assay samples. Mineralized wireframes representing vein structures were prepared in Leapfrog Geo software by Radisson and reviewed and adopted by SLR.

1. CIM (2014) definitions were followed for Mineral Resources.

2. Mineral Resources are reported above a cut-off grade of 4.5 g/t Au based on a C$230/t operating cost and 1.25 exchange rate.

3. Mineral Resources are estimated using a gold price of US$1,600/oz Au and a metallurgical recovery of 85%.

4. Bulk density varies by deposit and lithology and ranges from 2.00 t/m³ to 2.82 t/m³.

5. Vein wireframes were modelled at a minimum width of 1.2 m.

6. A 40 g/t Au capping level was applied.

7. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Radisson Mining Resources Inc.

Mineral Resource Estimate highlights:

  • Indicated resources increased 58% to 1,517,000 tonnes grading 10.26 g/t Au for 501,000 ounces using a 4.5 g/t gold cut off grade.

  • Inferred resources increased 167% to 1,616,000 tonnes grading 8.64 g/t Au for 449,000 ounces using a 4.5 g/t gold cut off grade.

  • A large portion of the Indicated and Inferred resources added have been defined within the same vertical footprint as the previous resource estimate.

  • 127,600 m of additional drilling since last update in July 2019. (see Figure 1)

  • O’Brien West area was included for the first time (including 8,060 m of historical drilling)

Given current geological understanding and refinement of the geological model, the Corporation estimates there is strong potential for additional high-grade gold trends to be discovered along the 5.2 km prospective land package on the prolific Larder-Lake Cadillac Break. Mineral resources are open for an additional 750 m to the East and underexplored for 2.5 km to the West of the former O’Brien mine.

The continuity of mineralized zones along steeply plunging trends (80° to 85°) provides good predictability for resource growth and exploration potential (see Figure 2). Total Indicated ounces at a 4.5 g/t Au cut-off grade have increased by 58% compared to the previous resource estimate.

Since most of the Indicated ounces added have been defined within the same vertical footprint as the previous resource estimate. This demonstrates the Company’s success at converting Inferred resources into the Indicated category.

Furthermore, total Inferred ounces at a 4.5 g/t Au cut-off grade have increased by 167% compared to the previous resource estimate. This increase is mainly explained due to the success of the drilling program in the extension of Trend #1 and #2 (Figure 2). The conversion success obtained at shallower depth suggests the strong conversion potential for the Inferred resources on those two trends. The Corporation notes that additional drilling below 550 m on those trends could convert additional Inferred resources to Indicated resources.

Significant potential to expand resources as a large part of the longitudinal footprint including the mineralized zones has not been drilled between surface and 1,000 m vertical depth. The recent drilling completed by the Corporation has validated the geological interpretation while expanding current resources laterally and well below the previous boundary of previously defined resources in five main trends that remain open for expansion laterally and at depth. The Corporation believes there is significant potential to further expand resources with additional drilling as modeled high-grade trends drilled since 2019 in the current resource area are wide open:

  • Trend #0: Open to the West and below 750 m

  • Trend #1: Open laterally and below 950 m

  • Trend #2: Open laterally and below 900 m

  • Trend #3: Open laterally and below 500 m

  • Trend #4: Open laterally and below 500 m

EXPLORATION PROGRAM

In the first quarter of 2023, as outlined in the O’Brien project section, Radisson published a Mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) update for the O’Brien gold project, reaffirming the project’s standing as one of the highestgrade projects owned by an exploration Corporation in Canada. In September 2023, Radisson initiated a 10,000 m drill program with main objective of expanding current resources at the O’Brien gold project. In parallel, Radisson continued an historical drilling relog program and completed a Till sampling program on the New Alger area of the O’Brien project. The till sampling program outlined a new target area showing strong potential for gold mineralization over a trike length exceeding 2 km. New Alger is an over 74 km[2] land package with strong potential for gold, located near many prolific geological structures. During a prospecting campaign in 2022, a sample containing 7.33 g/t Au was collected, indicating the presence of at least one goldrich zone in the area. The geological characteristics of New Alger are similar to those of historical and operating mines in the area, with presence of potentially prolific shear-zones, intermediate to felsic dykes and intrusions. While the O’Brien area remains Radisson’s top priority, the Corporation believes the New Alger area represents a low-cost opportunity where vast landholding has potential to yield new gold discoveries.

OTHER PROPERTIES IN QUEBEC

Although Radisson intends to concentrate its efforts on the O’Brien project, the Corporation has 100% ownership of the Douay property located in the James Bay territory. In 2023, Radisson completed the compilation and interpretation of drilling and geophysical data on the property, outlined exploration targets and completed field recognition for future exploration programs on this strategically located land package.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023

Because of its area of activities, the Corporation does not generate regular revenue and must depend on issuing shares and on the interest income generated by its investments to cover its operating expenses.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Corporation incurred a net loss of $835 308 or ($0.003) per share compared to a net loss of $1,984,145 or $0.007 per share during the prior fiscal year.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, there was $147,740 in interest revenues compared to $63,505 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Corporation incurred salaries and employee benefits expenses of $355,478 compared to expenses of $591,255 for the same period in 2022. The decrease is explained by a reduction in the number of employees.

During the period ended December 31, 2023 the Corporation made no non-recurring employee severance payment ($598,000, December 31, 2022). In 2022, this expense followed the termination of an employment contract after a mutual step-down agreement made between the Corporation and an executive.

Experts and Subcontractors expenses were $284,126 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $102,844 for the same period in 2022. The increase is explained by the use of additional contractors in 2023 and offset by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expenses.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Corporation incurred professional fees expenses of $62,490 compared with expenses of $56,417 for the same period in 2022. The increase is mostly explained by an increase in audit related fees.

For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023, the Corporation incurred investor relations and shareholder communication expense of $178,526 compared with expenses of $193,700 for the same period in 2022. The decrease is explained by a decrease in online awareness programs in 2023.

Expenses for stationary, IT and office supplies were of $57,420 for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023. In 2022, they respectively accounted for $77,421. The decrease is explained by a decrease in the number of employees.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Corporation reported a decrease of $120,000 in the change in fair value of investments available for sale versus unrealized loss of $1,200,000 for the same period in 2022. This change in fair value of investments is unrealized and has no effect on the treasury.

Radisson Mining Resources Inc.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Corporation incurred exploration and evaluation expenses of $2,755,579 compared with expenses of $7,360,175 for the same period in 2022. This decrease is explained by a reduction in exploration activities at O’Brien from the second half of 2022, followed by the restart of drilling activities in the third quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023, the Corporation received $1,036,199 in tax credits following investments made as eligible exploration and evaluation expenses and reversals from previous years compared with $416,183 for the same period in 2022.

Administration costs incurred by the Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2023 were of $1,553,616 (inclusive of $471,435 non-cash expenses) compared with expenses of $2,312,390 (inclusive of $555,203 non-cash expenses) for the year ended in 2022. Principal differences for the period were explained above.

As at December 31, 2023, the Corporation had cash and guaranteed investment certificates in the amount of $8,678,619 compared with $3,083,512 on December 31, 2022.

As at December 31, 2023, Government taxes and mining taxes receivable represent $165,622, it represented $953,885 as at December 31, 2022.

The Corporation holds 24,000,000 shares of Renforth Resources Inc. as a long-term investment. On December 31, 2023, these shares represented a value of $600,000, compared to $720,000 as at December 31, 2022.

The Corporation’s principal source of financing is equity financing, the success of which depends on venture capital markets, the attractiveness of exploration companies for investors, and metal prices. To continue its exploration activities and be able to support its ongoing operations, the Corporation expects that it will have to continue to maintain and enhance relations with investors and other capital market participants, with the aim of raising additional equity financing going forward.

ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE FOR VENTURE ISSUERS WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT REVENUES

The Corporation provides information on evaluation and exploration assets in Note 6 to the financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2023. The Corporation has no research and development expenditures.

Radisson Mining Resources Inc.

The Corporation has no deferred expenses other than evaluation and prospecting assets.

Regarding information in this MD&A on evaluation and prospecting assets, Management has concluded that the absence of depreciation during the financial year ended December 31, 2023, is adequate.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ADOPTION OF IFRS

These financial statements have been prepared by the Corporation’s management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

These financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost basis, except for the financial assets and financial liabilities revaluated at fair value through net profit or loss. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise judgment when applying the Corporation’s accounting policies. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are summarized further in this MD&A.

The financial statements do not include draft standards that are still at the exposure draft stage with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and standards published and approved by the IASB, but with an application date beyond December 31, 2023.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Corporation’s management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

Significant accounting policies and those that require the most judgment and estimates are:

Evaluation and prospecting expenditures

The application of the Corporation’s accounting policy for evaluation and prospecting expenditures requires judgment in determining the degree to which the expenditure can be associated with finding specific mineral resources. The estimation process requires varying degrees of uncertainty, and these estimates directly impact the deferral of evaluation and exploration expenditures. The deferral policy requires Management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditures have been capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditures is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written-off in the year when the new information becomes available.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

Judgments are made as to whether a past event has led to a liability that should be recognized in the financial statements or disclosed as a contingent liability. Quantifying these liabilities involves judgments and estimates. These judgments are based on a number of factors including the nature of the claims or dispute, the legal procedures and potential amount payable, legal advice received past experience and the probability of a loss being realized. Several of these factors are sources of uncertainty in estimates.

Impairment of mining properties and deferred prospecting and evaluation expenditures and property and equipment

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are combined at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at a cash-generating unit level.

Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, an asset or cash-generating unit is reviewed for impairment.

  • The right to explore the area has expired or will expire in the near future with no expectation of renewal;

  • No further prospecting or evaluation expenditures in the area are planned or budgeted;

  • No commercially viable deposits have been discovered, and the decision has been made to discontinue exploration in the area;

  • Sufficient work has been performed to indicate that the carrying amount of the expenditure carried as an asset will not be fully recovered.

Additionally, when technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable, the prospecting and evaluation assets of the related mining property are tested for impairment before these items are transferred to property and equipment.

An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cashgenerating unit is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value in use.

An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments.

The preparation of financial statements requires Management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments with respect to future events. These estimates and judgments are constantly challenged. They are based on past experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual results are likely to differ from the estimates, assumptions and judgments made by Management, and will rarely be identical to the estimated results. The following paragraphs describe Management’s most critical estimates and assumptions in the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities and expenses and Management’s most critical judgments in applying accounting policies.

Share-based compensation and payments and fair value of warrants

The estimation of share-based compensation costs and fair value of warrants requires the selection of an appropriate valuation model and consideration as to the inputs necessary for the valuation model chosen. The Corporation has made estimates as to the volatility of its own shares, the expected life of options, the exercise period of these options as well as the expected forfeitures. The valuation model used by the Corporation is the Black & Scholes model.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at tax rates expected in the period during which the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the period for submission of financial information. The measurement of liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax consequences that follow from the manner in which the Corporation expects, at the end of the period for submission of financial information, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

RISKS RELATED TO EXPLORATION

Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk. Few properties explored are put into production. Unusual or unexpected rock formations, fires, power outages, labour disputes, floods, explosions, cave-ins, landslides, and problems in obtaining qualified workers and appropriate or adequate machinery or equipment are other risks involved in carrying out exploration programs. The economics of developing resource properties are affected by many factors, including operating costs, variations in the grade of ore mined, fluctuations in metal markets, processing equipment costs and other factors such as Aboriginal land claims, government regulations, especially regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting natural resources, and environmental protection. Depending on the price of the natural resources produced, the Corporation can determine that it is not appropriate to begin or continue commercial production. There is no certainty that amounts spent by the Corporation in exploring its mineral properties will lead to the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable ore deposits.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER REGULATIONS

Existing and future environmental legislation, regulations and measures could give rise to additional costs, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the Corporation’s activities that are unpredictable in scope. The requirements of environmental regulations and standards are under constant evaluation and can be increased considerably, which could seriously affect the Corporation’s business or its ability to develop its properties economically. Before production can begin on a property, the Corporation must obtain regulatory and environmental approvals; there is no assurance that these approvals will be obtained or can be obtained in a timely manner. The costs of changes in government regulations can also reduce the profitability of operations or completely preclude the economic development of a property.

Radisson Mining Resources Inc.

RISKS RELATED TO FINANCING AND DEVELOPMENT

The development of the Corporation's properties therefore depends on its ability to obtain the necessary additional financing. There is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining the required financing. Furthermore, putting resource properties into production depends on obtaining the services of experienced personnel or of coming to agreements with other large resource companies that can provide the expertise.

MARKET FORCES

Factors beyond the Corporation’s control can influence the marketability of the gold or any other mineral discovered. The price of resources has fluctuated considerably, especially over the past few years. The impact of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.

UNINSURED RISKS

The Corporation can be held liable for the results of cave-ins, pollution, or other risks against which it cannot or may elect not to insure because of the high cost of premiums or for other reasons. The payment of these liabilities could reduce or eliminate the funds available for exploration and mining activities.
