Management Discussion and Analysis
For the six months ended March 31, 2026

On January 22, 2024, the Company completed final agreement on Deer Park and summarized 2023 exploration progress on Deer Park including two new gold targets that have had small scale past mining at the Viking Horde, and Cougar Ridge targets. These targets have been defined through geochemical and geophysical surveys showing trends of greater than >1.2 km in length. 55 rock samples were collected this fall returning assays of up to 7.07 and 3.92 g/t Au, in the Viking and Cougar targets respectively.

Historically, Deer Park has had small mining scattered through out the area, with many prospecting pits and test adits. Several small exploration pits, with unknown production, occur along a mineralized structural zones. One vertical shaft has been developed on a pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite vein on the eastern side of the claim showing alteration styles similar to that found in Rossland and Kettle River Mining Camps. Previous work includes geological mapping and sampling, AeroTEM Electromagnetic & Magnetic Survey (2007), soil geochemistry, trenching and 570m of diamond drilling (2010). This work has been compiled by Riverside and now being used to work-up targets for potential drill testing in future.

Deer Park Project Targets of the Cougar Ridge and Viking showings and a new area TK Hill have positive results including the sampling summarized in table below.

Sample	Au (g/t)	Zone	Comments
RRI-14997	7.07	Viking Horde	Mesothermal mineralization with chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and pyrite hosted along the contact. Historic gold data indicates 2.9 g/t, 36.4 g/t, and 1.5 g/t Au in surface samples (Kootenay Gold, 2008)
DP-05-23	2.69	Viking Horde
DP-06-23	0.80	Viking Horde
RRI-14837	0.29	Viking Horde
RRI-14989	3.12	Cougar Ridge	The quartz and sulphide mineralogy shows mesothermal characteristics; crystalline quartz and high pyrrhotite content.
DC19-12	3.92	TK Hill	Series of milky to crystalline quartz veins in foliated gabbro with iron staining -100/75
DC19-15	2.06	TK Hill	Zone of vuggy quartz veining with actinolite and iron stained.
RRI-14845	0.24	Cougar Ridge	N-NW quartz vein with quartz, pyrrhotite, and pyrite with silica alteration.

The Viking Target: This target is a shear-related gold bearing quartz vein with gold and a strong Cu-As chemical signature. Showings demonstrate a 600-700-meter strike and the geophysical response spans at least 1300 meters along strike. Kootenay Gold sampled outcrops from this area that returned values up to 36.4 g/tonne gold (Hoy, 2009).

The Cougar Ridge Target: This target is a pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite massive sulphide vein system and breccia with gold being associated with Pb-Zn-Ag. The pit at Cougar Ridge was sampled by Kootenay Gold in 2009 and returned values up to 23.2 g/tonne gold. Here, mineralized quartz veinlets trend more westerly suggesting that they may be extensional veins developed in response to right-lateral motion on the shears. In 2009, Kootenay Gold took 31 samples from this area with the best sample assayed at 10.68 g/t Au and 15.32 g/t Ag (Hoy, 2009). Riverside using pXRF and full assay geochemistry confirmed the presence and extends the scale as the target is worked up toward a drill target.

TK Hill: This new area is to the east of the Viking Horde and a contact zone between sediments and intrusive rock but is not skarn. The veins here are similar to those noted elsewhere and are believed to be the same mineralizing event but will require more work to confirm. Samples from this area show elevated copper, arsenic and lead.

The veins found in the Deer Park Project have similarities to the massive sulphide veins that form the "Main" veins of the Rossland gold-copper camp. Both are associated with or occur within mafic phases of the Nelson plutonic suite and comprise massive pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Mineralization is structurally controlled and occurs between two major units. It is believed these are a product of Mid-Jurassic intrusion of the Nelson Pluton. Possibly like the 163 Ma Monzonite observed in the Rossland Deposit 40km to the south where the presence of gold occurrence seems to be intricately linked to sulphides within breccias and veins over 500 meters.

Taft Project, Southern British Columbia

On August 7, 2024, the Company signed an option agreement wherein the Company may acquire up to 100% interest in the Taft property located in British Columbia, Canada. Under the agreement, the Company is granted a sole and exclusive right and option to acquire up to 100% interest in the said property by making the following cash payments and incurring the following exploration expenditures as follows:

Due date	Cash	Exploration expenditures
Upon signing of Agreement (August 7, 2024)	$15,000 (paid)	-
On or before the 1st anniversary (August 7, 2025)	$15,000 (cancelled)	$60,000
On or before the 2nd anniversary (August 7, 2026)	$20,000	$60,000
On or before the 3rd anniversary (August 7, 2027)	$20,000	$60,000
On or before the 4th anniversary (August 7, 2028)	$25,000	$60,000
On or before the final anniversary (August 7, 2029)	$30,000	$80,000

On December 9, 2024, Riverside announced the acquisition of the Taft Project, located in the Revelstoke Carbonatite Belt of British Columbia. This property, spanning 3,000 hectares, is strategically positioned for rare earth elements (REE) and gold exploration, aligning with Riverside's strategy of targeting critical mineral assets in favorable jurisdictions.

The Taft Project presents a focused effort to discover critical mineral projects for the Company. Geological mapping of the REE-rich terrane has identified promising areas along the belt, supported by favorable geochemistry and indicator minerals. Current sampling and exploration efforts, in collaboration with local prospectors, aim to refine targets through access, sampling, and mapping. These activities were completed in 2025.

During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company decided not to continue with further exploration of the Taft project and chose to cancel the option agreement and write off all costs incurred related to this project in the amount of $103,599.

Red Jacket Project, Central British Columbia

On January 21, 2026, Riverside announced that it had expanded its British Columbia land position by optioning the Redtop property, which is contiguous with and immediately north of the Company's existing Jacket claims, and consolidated the area into the Red Jacket Project. The transaction followed Riverside's initial exploration work completed in late 2025 and effectively doubled the size of the Jacket property package. The Red Jacket Project is located in central British Columbia, approximately 15 km east of Clearwater and 115 km north-northeast of Kamloops, with road access by paved highway and logging roads.

Red Jacket is located within a well-mineralized volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) belt and includes at least three main outcropping and previously drilled polymetallic occurrences. Riverside reported that the Redtop property hosts occurrences with characteristics consistent with large Canadian VMS deposits and noted geological similarity to mineralization in the same Eagle Formation, Cambrian-age rocks to the south. Based on its review of historical work and 2025 field programs, the Company outlined a 4 km northwest-southeast trend that includes the Redtop, Snow and Sunrise showings, and identified the trend as a priority for follow-up exploration on the consolidated project.

The Company also reported that integrated historical geochemistry, geology and geophysics continue to add value at Red Jacket. Historical soil sampling surveys indicate continuity of known mineralized bands along a 4 km northwest-southeast horizon, and the prospective horizon has seen minimal drill testing across its length. Riverside highlighted a zinc-in-soil anomaly identified by Placer Dome Inc. that envelopes known mineralization and trends roughly parallel to a potassium enrichment zone in radiometric data, while north-trending magnetic highs in Total Magnetic Intensity data are interpreted as likely mafic dikes and/or structures. Riverside noted that the combination of airborne magnetics and coincident soil anomalies supports target refinement and provides immediate areas of interest for systematic exploration.

During late 2025, Riverside completed target sampling at Red Jacket before snowfall curtailed the program, with work focused on validating mineralization in areas of historical trenching and prioritizing zones for 2026 follow-up. The Company reported that sampling confirmed meaningful polymetallic grades at surface and supported the view that the Redtop horizon warrants systematic follow-up to evaluate continuity and prioritize the most prospective sections for future exploration phases.

For the six months ended March 31, 2026

On August 6, 2025, the Company announced that drilling has commenced at the Union project in northwest Sonora, Mexico.

On September 24, 2025, Riverside and partner Questcorp reported continued progress on the inaugural drill program at the Union Project in Sonora, Mexico, where three of five priority targets were tested and drilling advancing to the high-priority Famosa target. Initial holes intersected key stratigraphy and hematitic quartzites considered encouraging for gold mineralization.

On November 12, 2025, Riverside announced the completion of the Phase 1 drill program at the Union Project in Sonora, Mexico. 12 diamond core holes totaling over 1,600 metres were drilled across six priority targets and more than 700 half-core samples were shipped to independent laboratories for multi-element assaying.

On January 22, 2026, the Company and its partner Questcorp reported high-grade chip-channel sampling results from the Union Project in Sonora, Mexico, including a continuous 30 m interval from the Union Mine area grading approximately 20 g/t gold and 226 g/t silver, with associated zinc mineralization, and released the final assays from the Phase 1 drill program. The Company reported that the 12-hole Phase 1 program intersected CRD-style mineralization across the Union Mine, Union Norte and El Cobre target areas, with anomalous zinc, silver, gold and lead consistent with the targeted system, and also identified sediment-hosted gold indicators that support follow-up drilling. Riverside indicated that the results improve geological targeting for the next phase of exploration and support continued advancement of both CRD and sediment-hosted gold opportunities at the project in 2026.

On March 18, 2026, the Company announced the completion of the consolidation of the Famosa area within the Union Project through a final purchase payment of US$125,000 and the transfer of three mineral concessions (La Famosa, Dana 7 and Dana 7; mineral titles 199006, 220840 and 220841) from Pacific Comox S.A. de C.V. to Riverside's wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, RRM Exploración S.A.P.I. de C.V. The concessions, originally secured through an exploration agreement signed in August 2021 that granted a five-year purchase option, were acquired for total consideration of US$175,000 with no net smelter royalty or other royalty attached. The Famosa area hosts carbonate replacement deposit style mineralization and structurally controlled gold mineralization within dolomite and quartzite units in the southern portion of the Union Project district, and the consolidation strengthens Riverside's district-scale land position ahead of the spring 2026 exploration program.

On April 1, 2026, the Company and its partner Questcorp announced the commencement of the Phase 2 exploration program at the Union Project in Sonora, Mexico, building on the 12-hole Phase 1 drill program and a new sediment-hosted gold discovery at the Luis Hill target where hole UND25-9 returned 42 metres grading 0.3 g/t gold, representing a new style of Carlin-like gold mineralization for this part of Sonora. The fully funded program mobilized teams across four priority target areas for geological mapping, geochemistry, structural analysis and an expanded aeromagnetic drone survey, with follow-up planned at the Union Mine chip-channel interval, the recently consolidated Famosa North CRD target, and sediment-hosted gold targets in the eastern portion of the district.

On May 5, 2026, the Company announced the Phase 2 field work results from the La Union Project in Sonora, Mexico. Sampling of near-surface oxidized mine workings returned very high-grade assays that reinforce drill targets ahead of the upcoming program. Detailed channel sampling and reconnaissance mapping have returned high-grade gold, silver and zinc assays at the historical Union Mine and Union Norte targets, while regional reconnaissance has defined three new target areas: Jabalí, La Negra and Ali Hill for follow-up work.

Cecilia Gold Project, Sonora

The Cecilia project is well located with good access and is a low sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag rhyolite flow dome complex and is 6,900 ha (69 km²) in size. Riverside geologic team has completed drilling on some of the many targets with positive exploration results.

On March 14, 2024, the Company announced an Option Agreement where Fortuna Mining (FVI.T) can invest an initial US$3,750,000 in work and pay Riverside a series of payments plus covering all costs related to the project to earn an initial 51% interest into the property with Riverside acting as the exploration operator. The initial program of US$500,000 of work and plans to potentially drill in this 2024 calendar year deep targets on Cerro Magallanes and lateral district targets. The agreement is signed with Fortuna Mining's Mexico subsidiary, Compania Minera Cuzcatlan (CMC) and will immediately progress the exploration on Cecilia project. The highlights of the agreement are summarized below:

Management Discussion and Analysis
For the six months ended March 31, 2026

• Fortuna Mining option of Riverside's Cecilia project with commitment of work, including an initial planned minimum 1,000-metre drilling campaign;
• Work expenditures of US$500,000 per year for the first four years and US$1,750,000 in final year;
• An initial payment of US$50,000 to Riverside upon signing and then US$25,000 each year for a total of US$150,000;
• Total work spends of US$3,750,000 for an initial 51% interest and second option total spending of US$6,000,000 to earn 80% interest.

Option agreement terms are as follows:

• First option: Five years to earn 51% by spending US$3,750,000 in work and paying US$150,000 in cash payments to Riverside with required work of at least US$500,000 in the first year for the option and Riverside has the drill permits in hand. Fortuna had paid Riverside the initial US$25,000 on signing and pays US$25,000 more on filing the agreement in Mexico. Then pays Riverside US$25,000 each year plus Riverside acts as operator for the program with a 10% management fee on top of the work spending commitments each year.
• Second option: Upon completion of first option, Fortuna may elect to progress with a second option to earn 80% by spending an additional US$2,250,000 in work over three additional years.
• Third option: After completing second option, Fortuna may elect within 120 days to pay Riverside US$5,000,000 cash and grant Riverside a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) where 1% NSR may be purchased before commercial production for US$3,000,000, thereby Fortuna earning 100% interest in the project.

The Company will be reimbursed for all annual concession maintenance fees, property taxes, access fees and any other payments required to maintain the project. As operator, Riverside will manage the exploration programs and be entitled to collect administration fees of 10% on the work programs.

On August 7, 2024, the Company announced the completion of a detailed magnetic susceptibility data acquisition for the entire project area and the identification of a new magnetic anomaly area of 6 x 2 km² in the southwest part of the project. The Company believes this area displays many classic structural controls similar to the mineralization found at the main Cerro Magallanes target area of the project and can become an additional focus of the upcoming exploration activities as well as the already permitted and planned upcoming drill program that is fully funded and scheduled to start in early Q4, 2024.

On September 10, 2024, the Company announced the commencement of a 2,500-meter drill program at the Cecilia Project in Sonora, Mexico, in partnership with Fortuna Mining. The program consists of eight drill holes targeting three key areas: the Agua Prieta Breccia on the Magallanes Dome's east side, the East Target with quartz veins containing high silver grades, and the Myra vein system. Additional targets, including the Mesa Fault zone, may also be tested if the program's scope allows. The exploration is supported by a budget of USD$800,000 fully funded by Fortuna Mining.

On February 5, 2025, the Company announced the drill results from Phase 1 and the progression to Phase 2 of the exploration program at the Cecilia Project. Riverside, as the operator, completed five holes totaling 2,250 meters across four distinct target areas, each revealing favorable indicators of a robust hydrothermal system. The positive results have prompted a continued exploration fully funded program for H1 2025, aiming to further delineate and assess the project's potential with funding by Fortuna Mining.

On July 7, 2025, Riverside announced the completion of Phase 2 exploration with Fortuna Mining and that Fortuna for corporate reasons would no longer progress the option, giving the project 100% control back to Riverside. As such, Fortuna has not earned any interest in the project. Under the termination terms, Fortuna has covered applicable project-related expenses, including taxes, for the next six months. Riverside now retains full control of the Cecilia Project and may pursue advancing the existing drill-ready targets or seek new partnerships. Recent exploration, including over $300,000 in target refinement work, confirmed gold mineralization in multiple holes and outlined several high-priority areas for follow-up.

Ariel Copper-Gold Project, Sonora

The Ariel property was staked by Riverside and has mineral title with targets for porphyry copper in a good location with 30 km on dirt roads from paved highways where power grid and other infrastructure are in place servicing the nearby La Caridad

mine and mill complex which is the 2nd largest copper producer in Mexico with production by Grupo Mexico Mining. Riverside's past reconnaissance exploration programs have outlined alteration zones potentially related to porphyry copper mineral systems with drill target areas defined. Some 500 rock samples have been collected and analyzed for trace metal contents using a portable X-ray fluorescence instrument as well as a mineral analyzer that employs near infra-red spectrometry to identify minerals typically formed by hydrothermal processes.

On June 17, 2024, Riverside announced the completed acquisition and title transfer of the Maria Luisa copper property immediately north of Riverside's Ariel property thus consolidating another 30% more ground added to the Ariel project overall. With this acquisition Riverside has now consolidated the highly prospective Laramide age porphyry (Cu, Au, Mo) (copper, gold, molybdenum) district and now controls an area of 16 square kilometres.

On February 26, 2026, Riverside announced early 2026 assay and exploration results from the Ariel Copper Project, including high-grade rock chip samples from the northern Maria Luisa area returning up to 320 g/t silver, 5.39% lead and 0.657 g/t gold from multiple parallel vein sets interpreted as lateral indicators of a porphyry copper system. The Company reported that age dating confirmed Paleocene (ca. 57 Ma) porphyritic intrusions at Ariel comparable in age to the host rocks of the La Caridad and Cananea mines, and that spectral mineral analysis (near-infrared/short-wave infrared methods) combined with integrated geophysics has defined two priority target styles: a near-surface porphyry copper target, and an epithermal target interpreted as the upper portion of the porphyry system. The drill-permitted, district-scale project is now ready for partnering and drill testing, with walk-up access on private ranch land and proximity to existing infrastructure servicing the La Caridad mining complex approximately 18 km to the west-northwest.

Concessions and Transaction

The Ariel project is now consolidated into five concessions that in total cover an area of 1,640 hectares (16 sq km).

CONCESSION	OWNER	TITLE	HAS	VALIDITY
ARIEL	RRM Exploracion SAPI de CV	245325	1,241.98	23/11/2016	22/11/2066
MARIA LUISA	RRM Exploracion SAPI de CV	237383	100.00	09/12/2010	08/12/2060

MARIA LUISA	RRM Exploracion SAPI de CV	237386	99.63	09/12/2010	08/12/2060

The transaction was finalized and was officially registered with the Mexican Direction of Mines and titles transferred to Riverside. The title registration was completed in May 2024, under Riverside SAPI, the company based in Mexico is now the full title holder of the Maria Luisa concessions. Riverside resolved outstanding tax issues for the previously private owner, completed required filings and then reimbursed the property owner minus those costs with a total transaction of US$200,000 with no royalty or retained interest, giving Riverside 100% control.

Los Cuarentas Gold Project, Sonora

Riverside has key land position near major Sonora mines at Las Chispas, Santa Elena, Mercedes where similar styles of mineralization to those at Cuarentas. The Company has completed drilling at the Cuarentas Santa Rosalia Sur intermediate sulfidation vein system which is interpreted as potentially the upper extent for a untested porphyry Cu and vein system. The drill results intersected gold of 3.15m @ 0.36 g/t Au including 0.7m @ 0.88 g/t Au. 1.55m at 0.58 g/t Au was the second intercept in the same drill hole both occurring in the upper 70m of the less than 120m total depth single drill hole and the targets remain open along strike and down dip. This pilot hole proves the structure and opens up project for further drilling.

Highlights from the hole LC20-010 discovering a new drilled vein system:

La Silla Gold-Silver Project, Sinaloa

In October 2015, the Company acquired two mining concessions in the La Silla gold-silver district in Sinaloa through a lottery process. The Company has a 100% exploration concession interest in the La Silla Property.

In December 2023, the Company decided to focus on other projects of higher prospectivity and the related investment was fully written off. However, the Company still maintained its rights to these concessions which were then in 2024 made into a sales transaction described below.

In July 2024, the Company signed an agreement to assign and transfer all its rights and concessions of La Silla project with payment terms subject to certain conditions. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company received US$100,000. While the remaining payments of US$150,000 and US$350,000, respectively, will only be received upon fulfillment of certain government regulatory approvals for a total of US$500,000 additional funds.

Australia (Sandy) Gold Project, Sonora

The Australia Project is located in NW Sonora along the extensive series of shears and high grade samples combined with placer and lode gold occurrences are some of the features making this property one of interest. Riverside received title through staking and since has completed field work, targeting, mapping, and studied the past mine workings. Riverside has published results from its work and can envision potential for possible open-pit gold targets on the 100% owned property.

Suaqui Verde and Suaqui Grande, Sonora

Riverside developed copper targets on both the Suaqui Verde and Suaqui Grande properties which are near each other and both have copper potential in the copper belt of central Sonora, Mexico. The Company conducted site work and progressed discussions for the district play. Copper growth areas were reviewed, and further work progressed.

On June 30, 2021, the Company completed further exploration prospecting, geologic mapping, geochemical vectoring for porphyry copper targets. The Riverside property is immediately adjacent to known copper resource areas and former mines for which Riverside may have the structural continuation and exploration work has been progressing on these themes.

On December 24, 2021, the Company entered into a Definitive Option Agreement with Southern Empire Resource Corp. ("Southern Empire") whereby Southern Empire could acquire a 100% interest in the Suaqui Verde Property, by paying $112,500 in cash, issuing 1,625,000 common shares while retaining a 2.5% NSR on precious metal products and 1.75% NSR on base metal products. The transaction details as below:

Due date	Cash	Common shares
Upon the closing date (December 24, 2021)	$25,000 (received)	500,000 (received)
On or before the first anniversary of the closing date (December 24, 2022)	$37,500 (received)	550,000 (received)
On or before the second anniversary of the closing date (March 31, 2024 amended)	$50,000	575,000 (received)

On January 11, 2024, the Company amended the Option Agreement with Southern Empire Resources Corp. to revise the terms of the original agreement for the Suaqui Verde property, whereby the $50,000 cash originally due on December 24, 2023, will be due on or before March 31, 2024, and the common shares will be due on or before February 2, 2024.

On February 2, 2024, the Company received 575,000 shares of Southern Empire Resources Corp. with a fair market value of $25,875 as per the amended option agreement for the Suaqui Verde property.

During the period ended March 31, 2026, the Company had not yet received the $50,000 cash payment.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In conducting its business, the Company faces a number of risks and uncertainties related to the mineral exploration industry. Some of these risk factors include risks associated with land titles, exploration and development, government and environmental regulations, permits and licenses, competition, dependence on key personnel, fluctuating mineral and metal prices, the requirement and ability to raise additional capital through future financings and price volatility of publicly traded securities.

RIVERSIDE RESOURCES INC.

Management Discussion and Analysis

For the six months ended March 31, 2026

Property Risks

Title to exploration and evaluation asset interests involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history of many mineral claims. The Company has investigated title to all of its exploration and evaluation asset interests and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its interests are in good standing. The exploration and evaluation asset interests in which the Company has committed to earn an interest are located in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

Title Risks

Although the Company has exercised due diligence with respect to determining title to the properties in which it has a material interest, there is no guarantee that title to such properties will not be challenged or impugned. Third parties may have valid claims underlying portions of the Company's interests, and the permits or tenures may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects. If a title defect exists, it is possible that the Company may lose all or part of its interest in the properties to which such defects relate.

Exploration and Development

Resource exploration and development is a highly 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 to return a profit from production. Substantial expenses are required to establish reserves by drilling, sampling and other techniques and to design and construct mining and processing facilities. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including the particular attributes of the deposit (i.e. size, grade, access and proximity to infrastructure), financing costs, the cyclical nature of commodity prices and government regulations (including those relating to prices, taxes, currency controls, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection). The effect of these factors or a combination thereof cannot be accurately predicted but could have an adverse impact on the Company.

Environmental Regulations Permits and Licenses

The Company's operations may be subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas that would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that means standards are stricter, and enforcement, fines and penalties for noncompliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations. We intend to comply fully with all environmental regulations.

The current or future operations of the Company, including development activities and commencement of production on our properties, require permits from various federal, state or territorial and local governmental authorities, and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Such operations and exploration activities are also subject to substantial regulation under applicable laws by governmental agencies that may require that we obtain permits from various governmental agencies. There can be no assurance, however, that all permits that the Company may require for the operations and exploration activities will be obtainable on reasonable terms or on a timely basis or that such laws and regulations will not have an adverse effect on any mining project which the Company might undertake.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.

Management Discussion and Analysis
For the six months ended March 31, 2026

Competition

The mining industry is intensely competitive in all its phases, and the Company competes with other companies that have greater financial and technical resources. Competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to acquire suitable properties or prospects in the future.

Dependence on Key Personnel

The success of the Company is currently largely dependent on the performance of the directors and officers. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the services of the directors and officers, or other qualified personnel required to operate its business. The loss of the services of these persons could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the prospects.

Fluctuating Mineral and Metal Prices

Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of metals discovered, if any. Metal prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. The effect of these factors on the exploration activities cannot be predicted. For example, gold prices are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including central bank sales, producer hedging activities, the relative exchange rate of the U.S. dollar with other major currencies, global and regional demand and political and economic conditions. Worldwide gold production levels also affect gold prices. In addition, the price of gold has on occasion been subject to rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities.

Future Financings

The Company’s continued operation will be dependent upon the 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 on acceptable terms. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis may cause the Company to postpone development plans, forfeit rights in some or all of the properties or joint ventures or reduce or terminate some or all of the operations.

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 that 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 and conditions generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Corporation in creating revenues, cash flows or earnings. The value of securities distributed hereunder will be affected by market volatility.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The determination of the classification of financial assets is made at initial recognition. Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL; for other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI.

The Company’s accounting policy for each of the categories is as follows:

Financial assets at FVTPL: Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets held at FVTPL are recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets at amortized cost: A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of contractual cash flows, and the asset's contractual cash flows are comprised solely of payments of principal and interest. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date and are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost: 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 at 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.

Financial liabilities

The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories, depending on the purpose for which the liability was acquired. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows:

Fair value through profit or loss - This category comprises derivatives, or liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term. They are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities - This category comprises liabilities initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Financial instruments

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 the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and government loan approximate carrying value, which is the amount recorded on the statements of financial position. The fair value of the Company’s public company short-term investments is based on level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Financial instruments valued at level 3 inputs consist of the Company’s private company short-term investments. The key assumptions driving the valuation of the private company short-term investments include but are not limited to the value of completed financings by the investee.

Management Discussion and Analysis
For the six months ended March 31, 2026

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held with major financial institutions in Canada and Mexico which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Receivables consist of tax refunds from the Federal Government of Canada and Mexico, in which regular collection occurs. The Company believes its credit risk is equal to the carrying value of this balance.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,515,183 to settle current liabilities of $2,455,909. The Company believes it has sufficient funds to meet its current liabilities as they become due.

Interest rate risk

The Company has interest-bearing cash balances. The interest earned on cash balances approximates fair value rates, and the Company is not at a significant risk to fluctuating interest rates. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had investments in short-term deposit certificates of $23,000.

Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on profit or loss and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of gold, silver and copper, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

The Company currently maintains short-term investments, which include marketable securities. There can be no assurance that the Company can exit these positions if required, resulting in proceeds approximating the carrying value of these securities.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in US dollars (US) and Mexican pesos.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company operates in Mexico and is exposed to risk from changes in the US dollar and the Mexican peso. A simultaneous 10% fluctuation in the US dollar and Mexican peso against the Canadian dollar would affect loss for the period by $290,922.

The Company holds marketable securities and is exposed to risk from changes in the share price of the marketable securities. A simultaneous 5% fluctuation in share prices would affect short-term investments and loss for the period by approximately $54,533.
