Date of Report June 1, 2020

Overall Performance

The Company, a Tier 2 Listed Issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange, is a Canadian exploration company holding a 100% interest in the Georgia Lake lithium project in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Ontario.

The Georgia Lake project consists of 273 claim units and 41 mining leases. The project is located in an area underlain by metasediments and metavolcanics of Archaen age. These metasediments were invaded by large masses of Algoman granitic rocks and by numerous sills and dykes of genetically related porphyry, pegmatites and aplite. The Georgia Lake pegmatites contain lithium-bearing spodumene and have demonstrated the potential for beryl, columbite, molybdenite, amblygonite, apatite and bityite. Since acquiring the project in 2009, the Company has completed several exploration programs including prospecting, channel sampling and over 12,000 metres of drilling. As of the date of this report, the property has a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate including a measured resource estimate of 1.89 million tonnes grading 1.04% lithium oxide, an indicated resource estimate of 4.68 million tonnes grading 1.00% lithium oxide and an inferred resource estimate of 6.72 million tonnes at 1.16% lithium oxide.

The Company’s continuation as a going-concern is dependent upon the successful results of its mineral property exploration activities and its ability to raise equity capital sufficient to meet current and future obligations. As at March 31, 2020, the Company has no source of revenue, has an accumulated deficit of $34,487,613 and expects to incur further losses in the exploration and development of its mineral properties.

Property Details and Results to Date

Georgia Lake Lithium Property, Northwest Ontario

The Georgia Lake lithium project was the subject of significant historical exploration work conducted by past operators. Over 33,000 metres of drilling had been completed on the original claim blocks acquired by the Company, providing Rock Tech with an historical resource estimate. The Nama Creek claim block, located in the northeast corner of the Georgia Lake properties, was poised to go into production in the late 1950s, with a 4-compartment mine shaft being built to a depth of 153 metres.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company conducted a field program consisting of prospecting and channel sampling. The Company did not recognize any impairment on the property during the period. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company completed an updated resource estimated and a Preliminary Economic Assessment, in accordance with NI 43-101, on its Georgia Lake property.

Applicable Regulations and Permits

The Province of Ontario, in which the Company’s property is located, has a history of being an excellent jurisdiction in which to conduct mineral exploration. As a result, Management doesn’t anticipate encountering difficulties in obtaining the necessary work, environmental and regulatory permits for any planned exploration programs. The Company’s mineral exploration activities expose it to potential responsibilities related to the identification and protection of First Nations’ archaeological and cultural sites and artefacts that may be located within the boundaries of the Company’s claims. Management works closely with the First Nations peoples and leaderships involved in these areas to protect their interests. The costs of conducting any required archaeological studies are treated as an exploration expense. Management is not aware of any such interests that would unduly restrict its exploration activities. In July 2011, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek (“BNA”), Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinaabek (“BZA”), and Animbiigoo Zaagi’igan Anishinaabek (“AZA”) First Nations in regards to the development of the Georgia Lake lithium project in the Thunder Bay Mining District of northwest Ontario.

Capital Expenditures and Exploration Programs

The Company had working capital of $1,607,950 as of March 31, 2020 (2019: $1,410,913), including $1,800,031 of cash (2019: $1,596,704).

Fluctuations in the quarter-to-quarter performance are largely the result of financing and investing activities and share-based payments related to the granting of stock options to directors, officer, employees and consultants. Periods in which financings are completed tend to be accompanied by higher than average filing fees and legal expenses while periods in which investing activities are undertaken (ie – exploration programs) tend to be accompanied by higher than average general and administrative costs and other overheads necessary to support such investing activities. Fluctuations in the quarter-to-quarter performance are also due to fluctuations in the business cycle.

Related party fees and expenses were incurred in the normal course of operations in connection with the companies owned by key management and directors. The amounts allocated to exploration consulting were capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets during the period. Expenses have been measured at the exchange amount.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Material accounting estimates usually disclosed by resource issuers such as assumptions regarding depletion, resource and production values and capital write downs are not applicable to the Company as it is at the exploration and development stage. The Company utilises certain estimates as more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements. There have been no changes to the Company’s existing estimates.

Changes in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in Note 2 to the interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and have been consistently followed in the preparation of the audited financial statements of the Company.

Financial Instruments and Other Risks

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties. The fair value of the Company’s arms-length financial assets and liabilities are estimated by Management to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

The fair value of amounts due to related parties is assumed to equal its stated value. Comparable arms-length risk profiles, terms and interest rates are not available for Management to determine if any fair value adjustments are required.

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Currently, the Company does not use any hedging or derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

By its very nature, the business of mineral exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. The Company competes with other mining enterprises, some of which have greater financial resources, for the acquisition of mineral concessions.

The Company is at risk to fluctuations in precious metal prices, the interest of investors and the availability of contractors. These factors impact upon the Company’s ability to finance its programs and to carry on operations.

Mineral development involves a high degree of risk as very few properties warrant the considerable expenditures required to initially substantiate their reserves and then to develop them into production. Consequently, very few properties are ever developed into producing mines. At present, none of the Company’s properties has a known body of commercial ore and the Company has no mineral reserves.

The recoverability of amounts capitalized for the Company’s properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to arrange economically appropriate financing to

7

complete the development of its properties, relevant metal prices, sufficient global and regional demand, and future profitable production or proceeds from sale.

The Company is at risk for environmental issues. Management is not aware of and does not anticipate significant environmental remediation costs or liabilities in respect of its current operations.

The Company’s mineral exploration activities expose it to potential responsibilities related to the identification and protection of First Nations’ archaeological and cultural sites and artefacts and traditional grounds that may be located within the boundaries of the Company’s leases and claims. The Company works closely with the First Nations peoples and leaderships involved in these areas to protect their interests. Costs of conducting any required archaeological studies are treated as an exploration expense. Management is not aware of any such interests that would unduly restrict its exploration activities.

The Company is not exposed to significant credit concentration or interest rate risk.

Internal Controls

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company will file a Venture Issuer Basic Certificate with respect to the financial information contained in the unaudited interim financial statements and the audited annual financial statements and respective accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

In contrast to the certificate under National Instrument (“NI”) 52-109 (Certification of disclosure in an Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings), the Venture Issuer Basic Certification does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, as defined in NI 52-109.

Cautionary Note on Forward-looking statements

Some of the statements contained in this report are forward-looking statements, such as estimates and statements that describe the Company’s future plans, expectations, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “could”, “will”, or “plan”. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events or conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results relating to, among other things, results of exploration, reclamation, capital cost, and the Company’s financial condition and prospects could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include those described under the heading “Other Risks” elsewhere in this MD&A. Therefore, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Further, the Company disclaims any obligation or intention to update or to revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as may be required under applicable securities legislation.

The information contained within this discussion, by its very nature, is not a thorough summary of all matters and developments concerning the Company. This information should be considered with all of the disclosure documents of the Company. The information contained herein is not a substitute for a detailed investigation or an analysis of any issue related to the Company. No securities commission or regulatory authority has reviewed the accuracy or adequacy of the information presented.
