Additional information relating to the Company may be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

1. CORE BUSINESS

RT Minerals Corp. is a junior resource company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties in Canada for hosting gold and base metals.

The Company's principal property is the Norwalk Gold Property located approximately 6 kilometres south of Wawa, Ontario in which the Company holds a 100% interest, subject to a 2% net smelter royalty. The property is contiguous to the southern border of Red Pine Explorations Inc.'s ("Red Pine") Wawa Gold Project. See Section 6.1 below for more information on the property.

The Company was incorporated on March 9, 2007 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia and is currently a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. The Company's common shares were approved for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and commenced trading on August 5, 2011 under the symbol "RTM". The Company is also listed on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol "RTMFD" with DTC eligibility for trading in the United States.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% wholly owned subsidiary, RT Minerals Corp (Guyana) Inc. ("RTMG"). RTMG was incorporated in Guyana and is currently dormant. Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated on consolidation.

2. FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company has not generated revenue from operations since inception. The Company has accumulated losses of $14,192,647 since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise financing and generate future profitable operations. As the Company is in the exploration stage, the recoverability of costs incurred to date on exploration properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties. The Company will periodically have to raise funds to continue operations, and although it has been successful in doing so in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future.

Industry and economic factors continue to affect the Company's performance. Generally weak capital market conditions make it a challenge to raise equity financing to fund the Company's acquisition and exploration activities. These conditions are expected to continue over the next twelve months.

The Company had a working capital deficit of $60,844 at February 29, 2020 compared to a deficit of $112,216 at November 30, 2019.

Cash was $10,828 at February 29, 2020 compared to $5,181 at November 30, 2019. The Company's sources and uses of cash are discussed in section 4 "Cash Flows" below.

Amounts receivable of $1,646 at February 29, 2020 (November 30, 2019 - $1,377) consist of GST input tax credits.

Prepaid expenses of $525 at February 29, 2020 (November 30, 2019 - $433) relate to ordinary operating expenses.

Deferred share issuance cost of $4,585 at November 30, 2019 relates to the private placement that closed on December 19, 2019.

Exploration and evaluation assets of $1,048,809 at February 29, 2020 (November 30, 2019 - $1,019,189) consist of acquisition and exploration expenditures on the Company's Norwalk property, which is discussed in section 6 "Major Operating Milestones" below.

Trade and other payables of $27,155 at February 29, 2020 (November 30, 2019 - $52,991) are unsecured.

Due to related parties of $46,688 at February 29, 2020 (November 30, 2019: $70,801) includes amounts owing to directors and officers for unpaid salaries, consulting fees and expenses, which are unsecured, non interest bearing and payable on demand.

7. SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS

N/A

8. LIQUIDITY

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability of the Company to raise equity financing and the attainment of profitable operations. In order for the Company to continue as a going concern and meet its financial obligations over the next twelve months, the Company will need to conclude an equity and/or debt financing.

At February 29, 2020, cash was $10,828 and amounts receivable were $1,646 consisting largely of GST input tax credits.

The Company has total current liabilities of $73,843 at February 29, 2020. Due to related parties includes amounts owing to directors, officers, and companies with common officers for unpaid salaries and expenses.

Working capital deficit was $60,844 at February 29, 2020.

Factors that could impact on the Company's liquidity are monitored regularly and include market changes, gold price changes, and economic downturns that affect the market price of the Company's trading securities for the purposes of raising financing. The current state of equity markets have improved marginally but still presents a challenge to raise financing. Management believes that this condition may continue over the next twelve months.

Based on the above financial condition at February 29, 2020, the Company will need to raise additional equity financing and/or find joint venture partners in order to meet its financial obligations as they become payable in the current fiscal year.

On March 30, 2020, the Company received a loan of $22,500 from a director that bears interest at 10% per annum, is payable on demand after April 30, 2020 and may be secured by a lien placed against the Company's Norwalk property in the event of default. The loan was used to make the final property option payment to acquire a 100% interest in the Norwalk property.

The Company does not have any capital resources in the form of debt, equity and any other financing arrangements.

14. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS DISCLOSURE

N/A

15. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES INCLUDING INITIAL ADOPTION

The Company has adopted the following new accounting standards effective December 1, 2019:

IFRS 16 – Leases

IFRS 16 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, with the objective of ensuring that lessees and lessors provide relevant information that faithfully represents those transactions.

IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

IFRIC 23 provides guidance on the accounting for current and deferred tax liabilities and assets in circumstances in which there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted. The Interpretation requires: (a) an entity to contemplate whether uncertain tax treatments should be considered separately, or together as a group, based on which approach provides better predictions of the resolution; (b) an entity to determine if it is probable that the tax authorities will accept the uncertain tax treatment; and (c) if it is not probable that the uncertain tax treatment will be accepted, measure the tax uncertainty based on the most likely amount or expected value, depending on whichever method better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair values

The Company's financial instruments includes cash, short-term investments, amounts receivable, trade and other payables and amounts due to related parties. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to the relative short-term maturity of these instruments.

The following table summarizes information regarding the carrying and fair values of the Company's financial instruments:

February29, 2020 November 30, 2019
Fair ValueCarrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value
$ $ $ $
FVTPL assets (i) 10,828 10,828 5,181 5,181
Amortized cost liabilities (ii) 73,843 73,843 108,792 108,792

(i) Cash

(ii) Trade and other payable and due to related parties

The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with an established hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs in valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

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

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as follows:

As at February Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
29, 2020 $ $ $ $
Cash 10,828 - - 10,828

The Company believes the recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates.

The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and currency risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfill its contractual obligations. Management evaluates credit risk on an ongoing basis and monitors activities related to amounts and other receivable including the amounts of counterparty concentrations. The primary sources of credit risk for the Company arise from its financial assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents. The carrying value of these financial assets represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. To minimize credit risk the Company only holds its cash and term deposits with high credit chartered Canadian financial institutions. As at February 29, 2020, the Company has no financial assets that are past due or impaired due to credit risk defaults.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations with respect to financial liabilities as they fall due. The Company's financial liabilities consist of its trade and other payable and amounts due to related parties. The Company has a working capital deficit of $60,844 as at February 29, 2020 and requires additional financing for operations and meet its current obligations. The Company handles its liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure as described in Note 11 of the financial statements. All of the Company's financial liabilities are due on demand, do not generally bear interest and are subject to normal trade terms.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at February 29, 2020:

CarryingAmount$ ContractualCash Flows$ Within1 year$ Within2 years$ Within3 years$ Over3 years$
Trade payables 27,155 27,155 27,155 - - -
Due to related parties 46,688 46,688 46,688 - - -
Total 73,843 73,843 73,843 - - -

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, investment fluctuations, and commodity and equity prices. Market conditions will cause fluctuations in the fair values of financial assets and cause fluctuations in the fair value of future cash flows for assets or liabilities. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as the Company has no fluctuating interest bearing debt. The Company's ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in gold and metal prices. Management closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currencies. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company's Guyana subsidiary is exposed to currency risk as it incurs expenditures that are denominated in US dollars while its functional currency is the Canadian dollar.

Pandemic risk

The outbreak and spread of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19), declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has already had significant human, political, and economic consequences around the world. The coronavirus is still evolving, and its full impact remains to be determined. However, its wide-ranging effects include financial market volatility, interest rate cuts, disrupted movement of people and goods, and diminished consumer confidence. The effects of the coronavirus may be difficult to assess or predict with meaningful precision both generally and as an industry- or issuer-specific basis. This is an uncertain issue where actual effects will depend on many factors beyond the control and knowledge of the Company.

17. DISCLOSURE OF OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. The holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. All shares are ranked equally with regards to the Company's residual assets.

As at April 24, 2020, the Company has 16,988,963 common shares issued and outstanding.

Such factors include, among others: risks relating to the integration of acquisitions, risk relating to international operations, the actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of current reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of gold and copper; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; fluctuations in metal prices; as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the period ended February 29, 2020 filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and available at www.sedar.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's estimates or opinions should change. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

21. MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

The accompanying financial statements of the Company and all the information in this Management's Discussion and Analysis are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Board of Directors.

The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. When alternative accounting methods exist, management has chosen those it deems most appropriate in the circumstances. Financial statements are not precise since they include certain amounts based on estimates and judgments. Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects. Management has prepared the financial information presented elsewhere in the Management's Discussion and Analysis and has ensured that it is consistent with that in the financial statements.

The Company maintains systems of internal accounting and administrative controls in order to provide, on a reasonable basis, assurance that the financial information is relevant, reliable and accurate and that the Company's assets are appropriately accounted for and adequately safeguarded.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements. The Board carries out this responsibility principally through its Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board, and the minority of its members are independent directors. The Committee meets at least once a year with management, as well as the external auditors, to discuss internal controls over the financial reporting process, auditing matters and financial reporting issues, to satisfy itself that each party is properly discharging its responsibilities, and to review the financial statements and the external auditors' report. The Committee reports its findings to the Board for consideration when approving the financial statements for issuance to the shareholders. The Committee also considers, for review by the Board and approval by the shareholders, the engagement or reappointment of the external auditors. The Company's auditors have full and free access to the Audit Committee.

On behalf of the Board,

RT MINERALS CORP.

Donald M. Clark Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
