Rokmaster Resources Corp. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS March 31, 2023

Business Overview and Overall Performance

Business Overview

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of precious, base and industrial mineral properties. The Company’s principal exploration areas of interest are North America, Central America and South America. The Company currently has an option to acquire a 100% interest on the Revel Ridge Project (formerly the J&L Property) located approximately 45 kms by all-weather road from the City of Revelstoke in British Columbia, Canada and owns 100% of the Duncan Lake Zinc-Lead Property and a 55% interest in the Big Copper property both located in the Slocan Mining Division in southeast British Columbia, Canada.

In order to achieve its objective, the Company has assembled a mineral exploration and management team with extensive experience in exploring, developing and bringing mines into production.

Overall Performance

Highlights of the Company’s activities for three months ended March 31, 2023 and to the date of this MD&A:

Operations

  • In early May 2023, the Company commenced preparation for its upcoming diamond drill program at its Revel Ridge Project. The initial drillhole will target down-dip of the 2022 channel sampling on the southeastern extension of the Revel Ridge Main Zone (“RRMZ”). Additional targets which aim to expand the RRMZ on the northwestern extension will be tested in the near future.

Financing

  • In April 2023, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement with the issuance of 4,545,455 flow-through units at a price of $0.11 per unit for gross proceeds of $500,000.

  • In February 2023, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement with the issuance of 4,000,000 non-flow-through units at a price of $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $400,000.

Corporate

  • On January 30, 2023, the Company entered into an amending agreement with Huakan and Huakan’s shareholders to extend the fourth option payment due on February 25, 2023 by 12 months to February 25, 2024, at which time a penalty of $400,000 would also be due as consideration for the extension. Pursuant to the amending agreement, the Company also agreed to complete an updated preliminary economic assessment and an updated mineral resource estimate on the Revel Ridge Project on or before December 31, 2023 and failing which the Company would pay Huakan the penalty no later than December 31, 2023, and such payment will be deductible from the total option payment due on February 25, 2024

  • In January 2023, and as consideration for the Company’s issuance of an aggregate of 3,000,000 common shares to the sellers of the Duncan Lake property, all of the 7,200,000 Special Warrants and the 2.5% NSR were cancelled.

  • Also, in January 2023, the Company acquired a 100% interest in two important claim blocks totaling 1,627 hectares south of the Duncan Lake property by issuing an aggregate of 2,000,000 common shares to third party vendors.

Exploration Properties

Revel Ridge Project, Canada

The Revel Ridge Project (the “Project”) is located north of Revelstoke within the Selkirk Mountains near the north end of the Kootenay Arc, a complex sequence of east dipping Neoproterozoic to Lower Paleozoic metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks. The belt is characterized by tight to isoclinal folds and generally west verging thrust faults and greenschist grade regional metamorphism.

The Project includes mineral claims, surface lands, crown grants, equipment (including underground mining equipment fleet and supplies), improvements (including >3 km of operational underground workings, 12 km access road connecting to paved highway, a fully functional 40 person all-weather camp, offices and maintenance shop) and all associated assets including a CP rail siding and concentrate loadout facility in the City of Revelstoke.

The Project has two known and significant precious and polymetallic mineral deposits. The Main Zone is a structurally controlled replacement deposit overprinting a pre-existing silver-lead-zinc deposit known as the Yellowjacket Zone. The Main Zone sheeted sulphide system is composed of banded massive and stringer arsenopyrite-pyrite-sphalerite-galena mineralization with appreciable content of gold and silver. The Main Zone has been traced on surface by geological mapping, prospecting, trenching and soil sampling for a strike length of over 3 km and traced by drilling for 1,500 metres in strike length and 800 meters down dip, generally dipping approximately 60 degrees to the northeast with an average true thickness of 2.5 metres, however, in places it reaches 15 metres in true thickness.

The zinc-silver-lead-rich Yellowjacket Zone is considered to be an Irish type carbonate replacement deposit composed of multiple parallel siliceous sphalerite-galena bearing zones. The individual mineralized zones making up the Yellowjacket Zone occur as lenticular bodies each up to 8 metres thick at the contact between alternating units of volcanic rocks and limestone. The Yellowjacket Zone sub parallels and is in the immediate hanging wall of the Main Zone, and has higher silver, lead, and zinc grades than the Main Zone.

During 2021, Rokmaster discovered and advanced several important new zones and expanded known zones through prospecting, geological mapping, sampling, and drilling, as documented in the updated mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) (see Table 1 below and the Company’s news release dated December 1, 2021 and January 17, 2022). To date, Rokmaster has drilled less than 25% of the known strike length of the Main Zone structure that hosts gold-rich polymetallic sulphides. The Main Zone and related zones remain open in virtually all directions, and the consequent probability is high that drill testing of these targets will result in the expansion of existing mineralized zones. Deeper drilling within the Main Zone has also indicated the potential for significant new mineralized zones containing coarse visible particulate free gold (see the Company’s news release dated June 7, 2021). Rokmaster is targeting zones containing macroscale gold for further testing.

Footnote 1 - 6

  • (1) Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.

  • (2) The Inferred Mineral Resource in this estimate has a lower level of confidence than that applied to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resource could be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Resource with continued exploration, however there is no certainty an upgrade to the Inferred Mineral Resource would occur or what proportion would be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Resource.

  • (3) The Mineral Resources in this estimate were calculated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines (2014) prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council and CIM Best Practices Guidelines (2019).

  • (4) The following parameters were used to derive the NSR block model C$/tonne cut-off values used to define the Mineral Resource:

  • Sep 2021 Consensus Economics long term forecast metal prices of Au US$1,625/oz, Ag US$22/oz, Pb US$0.95/lb, Zn US$1.20/lb

  • Exchange rate of US$0.76 = CAD $1.00

  • Main Zone process recoveries of Au 92%, Ag 88%, Pb 80%, Zn 72%

  • Yellow Jacket process recoveries of Au 91%, Ag 80%, Pb 74%, Zn 75%

  • Smelter payables of Au 96%, Ag 91%, Pb 95%, Zn 85%,

  • Refining charges of Au US$10/oz, Ag US$0.50/oz

  • Concentrate freight charges of C$65/t and Smelter treatment charge of US$185/t

  • Mass pull of 5% and 8% concentrate moisture content.

Metallurgy

Also during 2021, Rokmaster’s metallurgical test work has markedly improved the process for precious metals recoveries from the polymetallic, gold-rich Revel Ridge mineralized zones through the design and management by Canenco Consulting Corp., and utilizing global leaders in this field: SGS Lakefield, Base Metallurgical Laboratories, and the Metso:Outotec Group. The process metallurgy advances of the Revel Ridge gold-rich polymetallic mineralisation include improved gold recoveries, decreased environmental footprints, and increase favorable project economics. These studies which are presently ongoing have:

  • i. Decreased mass pull to 27.8% from historical average of 55.5% for an autoclave feed which consequently decreases a pressure oxidation and leach circuit footprint, energy requirements and overall associated relative capital.

  • ii. Gold concentrate grade increased from 17.9 g/t Au (LCT average) to 28.3 g/t Au.

  • iii. Pressure oxidation tests successfully achieved duplicated oxidations above 97%.

  • iv. Gold leach recoveries over 96%.

  • v. Simple, repeatable, flotation flowsheet without preconcentration.

  • vi. Large diameter HQ metallurgical drillholes sampled for variability testing have been completed. A metallurgical program using HQ core samples collected from the Main Zone mineralization at diverse elevations and spatial locations is being designed. That program objective is to clarify the variations in metallurgical characteristics, within the broader Main Mineralized zone.

Rokmaster’s metallurgical team has developed an effective process flowsheet in which they have a high degree of confidence and has shown to be routinely replicated on the current samples.

William Stone, Ph.D., P.Geo. of P&E Mining Consultants Inc., Stacy Freudigmann, P.Eng. F.Aus.IMM, Principal of Canenco Consulting Corp. and Eric Titley P.Geo., who are independent of Rokmaster, are Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mining Projects and have both reviewed and approved of the technical disclosure on the Revel Ridge Project in this MD&A.

2023 Exploration Program – Revel-Ridge Project

The Company’s objectives are:

  • Expand mineral resource though continued exploration and diamond drilling of Main Zone extensions and other targets to add to the current mineral resources;

  • Complete an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) including the results of the 2022 drill programs.

  • Complete ongoing optimization studies which include metallurgical testing, mine sequencing and capital and mining cost studies to Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) level and beyond;

  • Incorporate results of drilling, through the updated MRE, and optimization studies into further studies to update the historic PEA, which is expected to be completed in 2023;

Rokmaster Resources Corp. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS March 31, 2023

  • Continue prospecting, geological mapping and sampling on the Revel North Projects (Keystone Property, Downie Gold Property, and Rift Property);

  • Continue necessary environmental and baseline work for an Environmental Impact Statement; and

  • Continue with community and stakeholder engagement for the Project.

Duncan Lake Zinc-Lead-Silver Property, Canada

The Duncan Lake Zinc-Lead-Silver Property is located in the Slocan Mining Division, southeast British Columbia, Canada (the “Property” or “Duncan Lake”) approximately 64 km north of Kaslo, British Columbia. The Property consists of 35 contiguous mineral claims covering 3,929 hectares along the strike extension of Teck Resources Ltd.’s (“Teck”) historical Duncan Mine property and 148 km by road northeast of Teck’s smelter in Trail, British Columbia.

History of the Property

Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited (“Cominco”), a predecessor of Teck, conducted four phases of exploration work on the Property from 1989 to 1997 included coring of 8,333.9 metres in 12 diamond drill holes. The drilling intersected significantly higher grade zinc-lead mineralization (see below Table of Selected Mineralized Drill Intersections) than was typically encountered at Duncan Mine. The work also confirmed that altered and mineralized carbonate strata extends from Duncan Mine northward for more than 2.3km and is open to the north, the west limb of Duncan Anticline and to depth on the Property. A further phase of drilling (8,800 metres in 8 holes) was recommended for 1998 but not conducted, possibly due to the steep decline in lead and zinc prices at the time and Teck’s increasing involvement in Cominco which had begun in 1986.

A re-assessment of the current area covered by the Property north of Duncan Mine by Cominco geologists indicated that an additional “900 meters of strike length of the structure has the potential to host 5 MMT (“Million Metric Tonnes”) of 11.5% Zn and 1% Pb in No. 7 Zone and 2 MMT of 7% Zn and 0.3% Pb in the No. 8 Zone. If the known mineralization is projected 2,100 meters north (in the persistent plunge direction) to Jubilee Point, there is room for 16 MMT at 10% Zn.” (D.W. Moore (1997): “Duncan

Mine Property: Proposal to Test Attractive Zinc Potential Close to Trail” ). It was also noted that the 7 degree northward plunge of the mineralized zone would be amendable to decline access and underground drilling as proven at the Duncan Mine. The potential quantity and grade stated above is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource. This represents a target for further exploration and it is uncertain if such further exploration will result in the target being delineated a mineral resource.

The scientific and technical information about the Property set out in this MD&A was obtained from a Technical Report for the Property dated December 13, 2016 and prepared for the Company, by R.A. (Bob) Lane, M.Sc., P. Geo. (the “Technical Report”). Mr. Lane advises that the geological data set out in the Technical Report was predominantly generated by Cominco during the 1989-1997 period and were recorded exploration assessment reports that were submitted to the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines for property assessment credits. While Mr. Lane advises that he has made no attempt to verify the data, he states in the Technical Report that there is no reason to doubt its accuracy or veracity. Mr. Lane advises that he attempted to examine the drill core from 1989 to 1997 but advised that the observed racked or stacked core was quite disheveled. He stated that more than three-quarters of the core boxes could be recovered and re-racked and following that, the intact core could be verified. Mr. Lane advised that he collected some character core samples and had MS Analytical Laboratories in Langley, British Columbia, analyze the core. Mr. Lane advises that the historic drill data for the Property was adequate and that it provides a sound technical framework upon which future exploration programs could be built. Mr. Lane stated in the Technical Report that the level of QA/QC instituted by Cominco during its four phases of drilling was not known.

R.A. (Bob) Lane, M. Sc., P. Geo., a consulting geologist, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mining Projects and has reviewed and approved of the technical disclosure on the Duncan Lake Zinc-Lead-Silver Property in this MD&A.

In 2018, the Company received an amended Mines Act Permit (the “Permit”) from the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines authorizing exploration activities including surface diamond drilling on a multi-year and multi-drill hole basis. The Permit expired in October 2022.

The required assessment work for Duncan Lake was completed during the summer of 2021. A preliminary diamond drilling program extending and wedging a total of 681.2 metres off an historic Teck Cominco drill hole was completed at Duncan Lake in 2022 to facilitate work expenditure requirement for listing the spinco, 4Metals Exploration Ltd., on a Canadian stock exchange.

Partial assay results for one of the three drill holes, D22-02, were announced on May 17, 2022 (see news release on May 17, 2022 for details).

The Company is in the exploration stage and therefore, does not have revenues from operations. The Company’s operating activities are dependent on the Company’s working capital.

The Company’s total assets as at December 31, 2022 decreased by $426,150 when compared to the total assets as at December 31, 2021 primarily due to the equity financings completed in 2022 for total gross proceeds of $5,325,000 and offset by cash outlays to fund the Company’s operations and for working capital purposes of $5,607,510 during the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in the Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 by $1,676,333 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 is explained in the “Results of Operations” section below.

The Company’s total assets decreased by $4,622,737 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to the $1,000,000 cash option payment for the Revel Ridge Project and cash outlay to fund its operations and for working capital purposes. Current liabilities at December 31, 2021 decreased by $1,163,925 when compared to December 31, 2020 due to the derecognition of the deferred share premium liability of $1,647,259 related to the flow-through funds raised on December 30, 2020 and offset by the recognition of a $652,070 share premium liability relating to the flow-through funds raised on December 29, 2021.

Results of Operations

Rokmaster is an exploration stage company and its properties are in the early stages of exploration and none of the Company’s properties are in production. Therefore, exploration and evaluation expenditures and administrative expenses relating to the operation of the Company’s business are being expensed as incurred. Consequently, the Company’s net loss is not a meaningful indicator of its performance or potential.

The key performance driver for the Company is the acquisition and development of prospective mineral properties. By acquiring and exploring projects of technical merit, the Company increases its chances of finding and developing an economic deposit.

At this time, the Company is not anticipating profit from operations in the near future. Until such time as the Company is able to realize profits from the production and marketing of commodities from its mineral interests, the Company will report an annual deficit and will rely on its ability to obtain equity or debt financing to fund on-going operations. Additional financing will be required for additional exploration and administration costs. Due to the inherent nature of the junior mineral exploration industry, the Company

will have a continuous need to secure additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt in order to support its corporate and exploration activities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (the “Current Quarter”) was $308,255, compared to a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (the “Comparative Quarter”) of $1,083,340. The decrease in net loss of $775,085 between the two quarters was primarily due to the following:

  • a decrease of $827,463 in exploration expenditures on the Company’s Revel Ridge Project as the Company did not continue drilling during the Current Quarter coupled with the receipt of $356,056 in mineral exploration tax credits; and

  • an increase of $44,382 in travel, public and shareholder relations and conferences during the Current Quarter as travel requirements have returned to levels before the Covid-19 pandemic and the restrictions on in-person industry conferences and events continued to be relaxed during the Current Quarter.

The Company’s total assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $1,708,819 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to cash outlays to advance the Revel Ridge and Duncan Lake Zinc-Lead projects and net loss between the same two quarters increased by $1,400,374 as the Company actively explored both its Revel Ridge and Duncan Lake Zinc-Lead projects during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to only its Revel Ridge Project in the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

The Company’s total assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 increased by $2,689,189, net of cash outlays compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021 due to the completion of the $4 million nonflow-through financing in February 2022 which was used to pay for the third option payment for the Company’s Revel Ridge project.

The Company’s total assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 increased by $1,262,566 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to the completion of the $3.3 million flow-though financing on December 29, 2021, net of cash outlays during the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

The Company’s total assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 decreased compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to the cash outlays from the continued exploration at the Company’s Revel Ridge Project.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $356,639 in cash. The Company does not have any cash flow from operations due to the fact that it is an exploration stage company and therefore financings have been the sole source of funds.

At March 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $559,960. The Company’s current assets are not sufficient to support the Company’s general administrative and operating requirements on an ongoing basis for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, further financing will be required and the Company will have to raise additional funds to continue its operations. Please also see Overall Performance section of this MD&A with respect to the Company’s financing efforts.

Liquidity Outlook

The Company’s cash position is highly dependent on its ability to raise cash through financings.

Based on the Company’s financial position as at March 31, 2023, the Company will need to complete additional external financing either through equity, debt or other forms of financing. As other opportunities become available to the Company and subject to exploration work on the Company’s projects and results from such exploration programs are determined, management may be required to complete additional financing.

This outlook is based on the Company’s current financial position and is subject to change if opportunities become available based on exploration program results and/or external opportunities. At present, the Company’s operations do not generate cash inflows and its financial success is dependent on management’s ability to discover economically viable mineral deposits. The mineral exploration process can take many years and is subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control.

In order to finance the Company’s future exploration programs and to cover administrative and overhead expenses, the Company will need to raise funds through equity sales, from the exercise of convertible securities, debt, or other forms of raising capital. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the resource market, the climate for mineral exploration investment, the Company’s track record, and the experience and calibre of its management. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of exploration activities. Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the short and long term, but recognizes that there will be risks involved which may be beyond its control.

Going Concern

Rokmaster’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its commitments, continue operations, and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception, has no recurring source of revenue, has an accumulated deficit of $29,770,351 at March 31, 2023. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company will need to raise sufficient funds to finance its operations and administrative expenses. The Company is evaluating financing options including, but not limited to, the issuance of additional equity and debt. The Company has no assurance that such financing will be available or be available on favorable terms. Factors that could affect the availability of financing include the Company’s performance (as measured by numerous factors including the progress and results of its projects), the state of international debt and equity markets, investor perceptions and expectations and the global financial and metals markets.

Rokmaster’s consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications that

12

Rokmaster Resources Corp. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS March 31, 2023

would be necessary were the going concern assumption inappropriate, and these adjustments could be material.

Compensation of Key Management Personnel

Key management personnel are those persons that have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly and indirectly, and by definition include the directors of the Company.

The remuneration of the Company’s key management personnel for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

Notes 2023 2022
Management, geological consulting and
director fees (i) $ 142,825 $ 134,150
Total $ 142,825 $ 134,150

(i) Management and geological consulting fees include those disclosed in the table above.

Key management personnel were not entitled to post-employment, termination or other long-term benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The above transactions occurred in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the parties.

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

The Company classifies its cash, amounts receivable (excluding sales tax receivable) and reclamation bonds as financial assets measured at amortized costs. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

As of March 31, 2023, the statement of financial position carrying amounts of these financial instruments closely approximate their fair values, except for accounts payable and accrued liabilities where the fair value may be less than carrying amounts due to liquidity risks.

The Company classifies financial instruments recognized at fair value in accordance with a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The following provides the valuation method of the Company’s financial instruments as at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

As at As at
March 31,2023 December 31,2022

Financial Risk Management

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash, short-term investment, reclamation bonds and amounts receivable. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company deposits its cash and short-term investment with a high credit quality major Canadian financial institution as determined by ratings agencies. The Company does not invest in asset-backed deposits or investments and does not expect any credit losses. To reduce credit risk, the Company regularly reviews the collectability of its amounts receivable and establishes an allowance based on its best estimate of potentially uncollectible amounts. The Company historically has not had difficulty collecting its amounts receivable.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. The Company attempts to manage liquidity risk by maintaining a sufficient cash balance. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $356,639 to settle current liabilities of $1,063,592. Further information relating to liquidity risk is disclosed in the “Liquidity Outlook” section of this MD&A.

Market Risks

The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are currency and interest rate risks.

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in Canadian dollars. As the Company conducts exploration and property examinations primarily in Canada and may from time to time conduct property examinations in other countries outside of Canada, some of the Company’s transactions are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any foreign currency hedging arrangements to hedge possible currency risks at this time. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions for property examinations incurred in other countries outside of Canada is not significant and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Cash is not subject to interest rate risk since it does not bear interest.

Capital Management

The Company primarily considers shareholders’ equity in the management of its capital. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on funds available to the Company, in order to support exploration and development of mineral properties. The Board of Directors has not established quantitative capital structure criteria management, but will review on a regular basis the capital structure of the Company to ensure its appropriateness to the stage of development of the business.

15

Rokmaster Resources Corp. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS March 31, 2023

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are:

  • To maintain and safeguard its accumulated capital in order to provide an adequate return to shareholders by maintaining sufficient level of funds, to support continued evaluation and maintenance of the Company’s existing properties, and to acquire, explore and develop other precious metals, base metals and industrial mineral deposits;

  • To invest cash on hand in highly liquid and highly rated financial instruments with high credit quality issuers, thereby minimizing the risk and loss of principal; and

  • To obtain the necessary financing if and when it is required.

The properties in which the Company currently holds an interest in are in the exploration stage and the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and development and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and attempt to raise additional amounts as needed.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. In order to facilitate the management of capital and development of its mineral properties, the Company‘s management informs the Board of Directors as to the quantum of expenditures for review and approval prior to commencement of work. In addition, the Company may issue new equity, incur additional debt, enter into joint venture agreements or dispose of certain assets. When applicable, the Company’s investment policy is to hold cash in interest bearing accounts at high credit quality financial institutions to maximize liquidity. In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay dividends. The Company expects to continue to raise funds, from time to time, to continue meeting its capital management objectives.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the year ended to December 31, 2022. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Proposed Transactions

At the present time and other than those already discussed in this MD&A, there are no other proposed transactions.

Recent Developments and Outlook

The Company expects to obtain financing in the future primarily through further equity and debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in obtaining additional financing, now or in the future. Failure to raise additional financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to suspend its operations and eventually to forfeit or sell its interest in its resource properties.

Subsequent Events

Please see Overall Performance section of this MD&A

Risks and Uncertainties

The risks and uncertainties faced by the Company are substantially unchanged from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual MD&A dated April 27, 2023.

Dividends

Rokmaster has no earnings or dividend record and is unlikely to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future as it intends to employ available funds for mineral exploration and development. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of Rokmaster and will depend on Rokmaster’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the Board of Directors of Rokmaster deem relevant.

Nature of the Securities

The purchase of the Company’s securities involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks. The Company’s securities should not be purchased by persons who cannot afford the possibility of the loss of their entire investment. Furthermore, an investment in the Company’s securities should not constitute a major portion of an investor’s portfolio.
