All securities issued are restricted from trading until August 27, 2023.

On June 28, 2023, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement consisting of 1,000,000 units priced at $0.10 for total proceeds of $100,000.

All securities issued are restricted from trading until October 29, 2023.

As of the date of this report, the Company has acquired a 100% interest in several mineral properties located in northeastern Ontario by way of map staking and vendor agreements:

  • Ireland and Kendrey Properties - REE ;

  • Case Batholith Properties – Lithium, Cesium;

  • Kenogaming, Pharand I and II Properties – Nickel, Chromium, Cobalt;

  • Nordica Property - Copper, Nickel, Cobalt, Chromium, Palladium;

  • Galna-Moody Property - Copper, Nickel, Cobalt, Chromium;

  • Sheba Property – Copper, Nickel, Cobalt, Chromium, Platinum, Palladium;

  • Milligan, Blakelock and McQuibban Properties - Gold;

  • Timmins Property - Base Metals

The Company had entered into a property option agreement to acquire a 100% interest, subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty, in the Link-Catharine RLDZ Gold Property located 25 kilometres south southeast of the town of Kirkland Lake, Ontario. On September 29, 2023, the Company has elected to terminate the option agreement on the Link-Catharine RLDZ Gold Property

On October 18, 2022, the Company completed the sale of 100% interest in the Norwalk Gold Property to Kingsview Minerals Ltd. (“Kingsview”), a company that trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange, for proceeds of $50,000 and 1,800,000 shares of Kingsview valued at $216,000.

See Section 6 below for more information on the properties.

Subsequent to August 31, 2023 on October 16, 2023 the Company paid $50,000 of the January 31, 2023 demand loan. The principal balance is now $50,800.

2. FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company has not generated revenue from operations since inception. The Company has accumulated losses of $19,641,108 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.

Two drill holes penetrated several 2.0 – 8.0m lenses of massive sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite and minor chalcopyrite) with no assays having been recorded (MNDM Assessment File 42H09SE0037, 1967). Future plans subject to financing include diamond drilling stronger magnetic anomalies within the complex and extensively assaying 50.0+ metres of historic core with reported massive sulphide intervals within highly altered metasediments.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $nil (2022: $nil) in acquisition and exploration costs on the Blakelock property.

5.5 McQuibban Property (Gold; Cochrane Ontario)

The Company acquired a 100% royalty-free interest in the McQuibban property by way of staking in September 2022. This property containing nineteen claim blocks is located in McQuibban Township approximately 50 km north of Cochrane, Ontario. Past drilling of two drill holes have been reported on the property (MNDM Assessment File 20000003818, 2007). The holes were targeting a strong 3.0 km long east-west trending inferred oxide facies banded iron formation. The strong magnetic signature of the iron formation transects the entire property. One of the drill holes intersected the iron formation and encountered a gold mineralized interval of 5.47 g/t Au over 1.2m. Several stronger magnetic anomalies have been identified along the entire 3.0 km strike length of the iron formation. Future diamond drilling subject to financing will target the strongest magnetic responses in an attempt to extend and thicken the gold mineralization.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $62 (2022: $nil) in acquisition and exploration costs on the McQuibban property that consists of permitting.

5.6 Timmins Property (Base Metals; Timmins, Ontario)

The Company acquired a 100% royalty-free interest in the Timmins property by way of staking in October 2022 and March 2023. This property contains 26 claim blocks and is located in Timmins Township approximately 50 km southeast of Timmins, Ontario. Several past drill programs were conducted on and adjacent to the property (MNDM Assessment File 42A07SE2004, 1998). Two drill holes encountered up to 150m thick intervals of intensely fractured black siltstone / argillite sedimentary sequences containing several strongly anomalous zones of disseminated and semi-massive base metal sulphides. Copper (0.45%), lead (0.45%), and zinc (1.4%) mineralization is reported in veins, fault gouge and fracture fillings. Associated chert interbeds, matrix silicification and indications of hydrothermal alteration suggests close proximity to a potential base metal mineralizing source. Additional geophysical programs are planned to trace out mineralized fault systems and argillite sequences for a distance of 1.5 – 2.0 km southeast along strike. Several geophysical targets have been identified on the property and diamond drilling subject to financing is planned to intercept potential base metal mineralization.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $311 (2022: $nil) in acquisition costs and $4,155 (2022: $nil) in exploration costs on the Timmins property that includes permitting.

5.7 Ireland Property (Rare Earth Element; Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario)

The Company acquired a 100% royalty-free interest in the Ireland property by way of map staking (MLAS) in November 2022. The property is comprised of 52 claims covering an inferred carbonatite complex (the “Ireland Complex”) located in Ireland Township, 45 km northeast of Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario. The Ireland Complex is approximately 4.0 km long, 2.8 km wide, is oval shaped and is positioned along a southern extensional splay fault contained within the Kapuskasing Structural Trend. The Kapuskasing Structural Trend contains several well documented carbonatite complexes that contain niobium, iron, titanium and rare earth element (“REE”) resources within various assemblages of carbonatite rocks.

Observations from existing magnetic signatures over the Ireland Complex resemble that of the magnetic signature which is coincident with the REE Niobec Mine (“Niobec”) in Quebec[1] , which is owned and

RT MINERALS CORP. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2023

PAGE 9

operated by Magris Performance Materials Inc. At Niobec, the central and inner core magnetic low signature contains the niobium and REE mineralization. Magnetic data covering the Ireland Complex suggests the potential development of an outer circular high magnetic, magnetite rich pyroxenite ring. This ring transitions into an inner ring of a calcite-sovite carbonatite to a central low magnetic signature inner core of dolomitic rauhaugite carbonatite. It is this area and location that represents an exploration target for REE.

There is no known drilling on the Ireland Complex to date. There have been past limited geochemical exploration programs conducted over the Ireland Complex which have indicated elevated concentrations of the REE consisting of cerium (Ce), gadolinium (Gd), lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), samarium (Sm), and titanium (Ti) (MNDM-Assessment file technical report 20000004588). These specific REE and titanium suggest an association with, or the occurrence of, a carbonatite intrusive prospective for containing REE mineralization.

The entire Ireland Complex is covered by thick glacial overburden. Future initial drilling pending financing will start with the main focus on confirming the carbonatite complex. Drilling will include the testing of the outer high magnetic ring for titanium, copper and iron, and testing the inner core (low magnetic signature) for REE mineralization.

1The Ireland Complex and carbonatite target owned by the Company is an exploration target with no resources or reserves and is not known to host like-mineralization as is present at Niobec.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $nil (2022: $nil) in acquisition costs and $3,124 (2022: $nil) in exploration costs on the Ireland property that includes permitting.

5.8 Case Batholith Property (Lithium; Cochrane, Ontario)

In February 2023, the Company acquired by map staking (MLAS) 90 claim blocks within the boundaries of the Case Batholith in northern Ontario and entered into two separate property purchase agreements to acquire an additional 113 claim blocks (the “Vendor Claims”) within the Case Batholith, for an aggregate land holding of 203 mineral claims.

The staked claims are located in Case Twp (20 claims); Heighington Twp (61 claims); and Seguin-Kenning Twps (9 claims). The Vendor Claims are located in Agassiz Twp (29 claims); Bragg-Sangster Twp (19 claims); Seguin-Challies Twp (14 claims); and Potter Twp (51 claims).

In the first property purchase agreement, the Company issued 250,000 common shares with a fair value of $23,750 and paid $4,100 to acquire 100% interest in 78 claims (including 16 claims comprising the separate Kenogaming and Pharand I properties), of which the 14 Seguin-Challies Township claims are subject to a 2% NSR royalty that the Company may purchase 1% of the NSR for $1,000,000 at any time.

In the second property purchase agreement, the Company issued 250,000 common shares with a fair value of $23,750 and paid $3,000 cash to acquire 100% interest in 51 Potter Township claims, which are subject to a 2% NSR royalty that the Company may purchase 1% of the NSR for $1,000,000 at any time.

The Case Batholith properties occur within the boundaries of the Case Batholith and are centered on Heighington Township, 85 km northeast of Cochrane, Ontario. The staked claims are situated 12 km north of the Power Metals Corp. (“Power Metals”) Case Lake lithium/cesium discovery in Steel Township, Ontario and the Vendor Claims are located to the northwest of the Power Metals discovery. The Power Metals discovery contains significant lithium and cesium mineralization within pegmatitic lithologies throughout northeast trending dyke and isolated laccolith (dome) complexes. It is these lithologies of the Case Batholith that RT Minerals now owns and will be subject to future exploration by the Company.

The entire Case Batholith complex is an oval-shaped complex that is approximately 150 km long and 60 km wide. The Case Pegmatite systems, associated with the batholith and its margins, appear to reside within

RT MINERALS CORP. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2023

PAGE 10

the five largest known lithium-cesium bearing complexes in the geologic region of the Superior Province of Ontario.

The entire Case Batholith complex is virtually unexplored. Excluding the Case Lake discovery of Power Metals, at the extreme southeastern edge of the Case Batholith, only one significant borehole has penetrated the Case Batholith during 2007 exploration for gold. This hole was drilled by Lake Shore Gold Corp., drill hole LA-07-01, located immediately northeast of the Company’s Ireland property in Ireland Township. This hole contained anomalously high cesium (“Cs”) values within igneous assemblages (samples 135279 to 135281, Cs – 76ppm over 1m, 42ppm over 0.70m, and 56 ppm over 0.50m, all within 90m of surface - MNDM files 20000003914 /20005893).

On July 20, 2023, the Company has staked an additional 190 claims.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $63,482 (2022: $nil) in acquisition costs and $3,500 (2022: $nil) in exploration costs on the Case Batholith property.

5.9 Kenogaming, Pharand I and Pharand II Properties (Nickel, Chromium, Cobalt; Timmins, Ontario)

The Kenogaming property consists of 8 claim blocks located within the Kenogaming Twp. The Company acquired 2 of the claim blocks by map staking (MLAS) and acquired an additional 6 claim blocks (the “Vendor Claims”) by way of the property purchase agreement described under Section 6.8 “Case Batholith” above.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $2,249 (2022: $nil) in acquisition costs and $1,843 (2022: $nil) in exploration costs on the Kenogaming property that includes permitting.

The Pharand I and II properties consists of 30 claim blocks (approximately 644 hectares) located within the Pharand Twp. The Company acquired 20 of the claim blocks by map staking (MLAS) and acquired an additional 10 claim blocks (the “Vendor Claims”) by way of the property purchase agreement described under Section 6.8 “Case Batholith” above.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $4,639 (2022: $nil) in acquisition costs and $31 (2022: $nil) in exploration costs on the Pharand I and II properties that includes permitting.

The Kenogaming and Pharand Townships are located in the Northern Swayze Greenstone Belt, within the Abitibi sub-province of the Superior Province, southwest of Timmins, Ontario. The claims are located within the Hanrahan assemblage which is confined to the southeastern part of the Northern Swayze Greenstone Belt. The Hanrahan assemblage consists predominantly of calc-alkaline intermediate and felsic volcanic rocks that have been intruded by extensive ultramafic and gabbroic sills (cumulate- textured ultramafic bodies). The cumulate ultramafic bodies are the specific targets comprising the Kenogaming, Pharand I and Pharand II prospects. The ultramafic cumulates are fine to medium grained massive rocks that are strongly magnetic, locally serpentinized and talcose, and may contain fuchsite mica.

Differentiation within the ultramafic bodies is observed as serpentine units grade upwards from olivine orthocumulates into gabbroic zones and spinifex- textured pyroxenites. Rare spherical structures filled with serpentine and sulphides suggest evidence for an extrusive origin for some of the massive cumulate - textured ultramafic rocks.

Throughout the Swayze Greenstone Belt, several nickel occurrences are associated with the cumulate - textured ultramafic rocks (MNDM files R297). The documentation of large ultramafic bodies with nickel mineralization in western Kenogaming Township is a strong indication of good potential for Komatiite - hosted nickel mineralization similar to the nickel discoveries in Crawford and Reid Townships near Timmins, Ontario (MNDM files 20000018167).

Nickel, chromium, cobalt and platinum group elements in assay results are of specific interest for the Kenogaming - Pharand claims.

RT MINERALS CORP. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2023

PAGE 11

The Kenogaming prospect consists of 8 claims located in eastern Kenogaming Township. In 1979, after completion of a localized magnetic/HLEM geophysical survey, Amax Minerals tested a strong magnetic anomaly with diamond drill hole KEN-#1 (Figure 3). This 184.5m long hole intersected up to 0.25% nickel in carbonated and serpentinized cumulate ultramafic with interbeds of chlorite and talc alteration over a 3.0m section at the bottom of the hole. The entire hole encountered cumulate ultramafic assemblages (MNDM files 42A04NW8557).

In 1997, a follow up drill hole JOE-ANNE SALO J-1-97 was drilled to a depth of 119m, 42m to the northeast of KEN-#1 on an additional localized magnetic target from a geophysical survey covering the same magnetic anomaly. Beginning at 23 m from surface, the hole encountered 78m of cumulate ultramafics with seven selected and intermittent one metre assay values (whole rock analysis) ranging from 0.168% Ni and up to 0.328% Ni, 0.17% Cr and 165 ppm Co (MNDM files 42A04NW2003). From 39m to 84m, eight select and intermittent core samples were analysed by plasma scan which outlined eight one metre sections at the maximum capability of the scan at +999 ppm Ni.

Subsequent to this 1997 drilling, the regional Ontario Geological Survey Total Intensity Magnetic/Electromagnetic program was flown over Kenogaming and Pharand Townships (MNDMM81379). This airborne survey outlined the main magnetic anomaly (56500nT+) ultramafic cumulate intrusive body to be approximately 700m wide and 1,000m long (MNDM-M81379). When combining the two historic holes, it is evident that the intrusive contains semi-continuous nickel, chromium and cobalt mineralization beginning at 15m and extending to a current depth of 184.5m. The intrusive may extend another 1.0 km to the east and is open to continuation at depth.

The Company’s claims cover two large ultramafic intrusive prospects, Pharand I (16 claims) and Pharand II (14 claims) within Pharand Township. The RTM claim blocks cover intense magnetic signatures (56500nT+) believed to represent cumulate ultramafic intrusive bodies.

Future drilling is warranted on the Kenogaming, Pharand I and Pharand II prospects with the objective to expand the historical nickel, chromium, and cobalt mineralization within the Kenogaming intrusive. In addition, future drilling subject to financing would target new cumulate ultramafic intrusive bodies within the strongest magnetic signatures identified on the Pharand I and II prospects.

5.10 Nordica Property (Nickel, Cobalt, Copper, Chromium Platinum, Palladium; southeast of Timmins, Ontario)

The Nordica property is comprised of 34 claim blocks in the Nordica Township in Ontario, of which the Company acquired 14 of the claims by map staking (MLAS) in February 2023 and 20 of the claims (the “Vendor Claims”) were acquired from an arm’s length party pursuant to a property acquisition agreement dated May 8, 2023, as restated May 29, 2023, for consideration of 300,000 common shares of the Company (issued June 28, 2023 with a fair value of $33,000) and a 2% NSR royalty on the Vendor Claims as well as any claims that the Company has acquired within a 2 km area of interest surrounding the Vendor Claims, of which 0.8% NSR may be purchased for $2,500,000 at any time.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $34,009 (2022: $nil) in acquisition costs and $5,481 (2022: $nil) in exploration costs on the Nordica property that includes permitting.

The Nordica property is prospective for copper, nickel, cobalt, chromium, and palladium mineralization. Previous exploration activity on the Nordica property has encountered Cu grading up to 0.292% (rock-grab samples), Ni up to 0.24% in drill core over 1.0 m, Co up to 614ppm (outcrop), Cr up to 17.7% (grab-rock sample) and Pd up to 1.2ppb (outcrop chip sample and drill core interval over 1.0m) (MNDM files OFR 6102). The property covers approximately 75% of the ultramafic layered intrusion which is currently inferred to be approximately 4.0 km long, 250 m wide and 100m deep (MNDM files 20000008666/2000113735).

Current surface sampling confirms mineralization near the original historic discovery outcrop and a newly discovered outcrop at Sylvia Creek approximately 2.7 kms to the northwest of the historic discovery of similar mineralization on the property. (For more details on the new mineralization, please refer to the Company’s press releases filed on August 3, and September 29, 2023)

5.11 Galna-Moody Property (Nickel, Cobalt, Copper, Chromium; east of Iroquois Falls, Ontario)

The Galna-Moody property is comprised of 24 claims in the Galna and Moody Townships in Ontario which the Company acquired by map staking (MLAS) in April 2023.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $107 (2022: $nil) in acquisition costs and $1,093 (2022: $nil) in exploration costs on the Galna-Moody property that includes permitting.

The Galna-Moody property is located 35 km east of Iroquois Falls, Ontario. The claim blocks are prospective for Cu, Ni, Co and Cr contained within individual peridotite ultramafic cumulate intrusive complexes that are intruded into the meta volcanic sequences of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The intrusive lenses are characterized by strong magnetic signatures (MNDM files 42h02SE0001, M81908).

Previous exploration activities have identified up to 0.35% Ni and 0.57% Cr in peridotite grab-rock samples from within individual peridotite lenses up to 150 m in thickness (MNDM files 42H02SE0001, 42A16SW0081).

5.12 Kendrey Property (REE; southeast of Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario)

The Kendrey property is comprised of 32 claim blocks in the Kendrey and Colquhoun Townships in Ontario which the Company acquired by map staking (MLAS) in May 2023.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $2,113 (2022: $nil) in acquisition costs and $124 (2022: $nil) in exploration costs on the Kendrey property that includes permitting.

The Kendrey property covers what appears to be a large, inferred carbonatite complex that is prospective for rare earth elements, specifically niobium. The intrusive is approximately 2.8 km wide and 2.7 km long. It is positioned along a southeastern extensional splay fault belonging to the Kapuskasing Structural Trend. The magnetic signature is very similar to several documented carbonatite complexes that contain an internal low magnetic central core surrounded by a highly magnetic circular outer ring (MNDM files PO 452, M82813, M82824). The intrusive is bounded to the east by a large north-south trending fault.

5.13 Sheba Property (Copper, Nickel, Cobalt, Chromium, Platinum, Palladium; southeast of Timmins, Ontario)

On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with an arm’s length party to purchase 100% interest in 51 mineral claims in Sheba and Robertson Townships in Ontario for consideration of $3,000 cash and 250,000 common shares of the Company. The transaction closed on July 5, 2023 and the consideration shares were issued with a fair value of $45,000.

The Property is divided into three blocks: Sheba North (23 claims), Sheba South (15 claims) and Sheba East (13 claims). The blocks are prospective for copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), platinum (Pt), and palladium (Pd) mineralization (MNDM files 42A02SE2019).

On July 7, 2023, the Company has staked an additional 150 mineral claims, surrounding the initial 51 claims, totalling approximately 2,650 hectares.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $55,850 (2022: $nil) in acquisition costs and $1,500 (2022: $nil) in exploration costs on the Sheba property that includes permitting.

Previous exploration activities by other operators on the west border of the Sheba South block encountered samples taken from outcrop containing 0.19% Cu, 0.14% Ni and 0.34% Cr. In addition to these samples, further samples were historically taken within the same ultramafic Pyroxenite-peridotite assemblages on

the Sheba South block which returned highly anomalous Cu, Ni and Cr values from outcrop. Whole rock analysis of these units appears substantially identical to the peridotites and associated Ni mineralization that occurs in Langmuir Township, 36 km on trend to the northwest.

The pyroxenites-peridotites exhibit strong magnetic signatures and the Sheba North and Sheba East blocks cover extensive geophysical magnetic anomalies that are currently interpreted as peridotite intrusive bodies within the volcanic stratigraphy of the Abitibi Greenstone belt.

In addition, geochemical soil surveys indicate that the Sheba East block is covered by widespread anomalous Cu and Ni concentrations in soils (MNDM files 42-A02NE2002).

Loss per share, basic and diluted (0.202) (0.011) (0.009) (0.264)

Because the Company is in the exploration stage, it did not earn any revenue.

The largest contributor to variance in loss across each period is impairment of exploration and evaluation assets.

During the August 31, 2023 fiscal quarter, the Link-Catherine property was impaired in the amount of $1,497,249.

During the November 30, 2022 fiscal quarter, the Norwalk property was sold for proceeds of $266,000 and a loss on disposition was recorded in the amount of $1,156,036. During the August 31, 2022 fiscal quarter, Norwalk property impairment in the amount of $1,164,486 was recorded, which was adjusted to loss on disposition in the fourth quarter.

During the November 30, 2021 fiscal quarter, the Catharine Gold property was impaired by $1,538,045 for reason of abandonment.

The February 28, 2023 and the November 30, 2022 quarters included $72,000 and $63,000, respectively, in unrealized losses on short-term investments relating to the Company’s investment in Kingsview. The May 31, 2023 quarter included an unrealized gain of $72,000 and a realized loss of $98,423.

7. 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 August 31, 2023, cash was $186,824 and amounts receivable were $10,175 consisting of GST input tax credits. The Company has total current liabilities of $222,772 at August 31, 2023. Due to related parties includes amounts owing to directors, officers, and companies with common officers for unpaid salaries, expenses and loans. Working capital deficiency was $4,461 at August 31, 2023.

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. Weakness in the junior equity markets over the past twelve months has made it challenging to raise equity financing at present. Management believes that this condition may continue over the next twelve months.

Based on the above financial condition at August 31, 2023, the Company will need to raise additional financing to meet its financial obligations as they become payable in the current fiscal year.

8. CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has no commitments for capital expenditures.

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

9. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

10. TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN RELATED PARTIES

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 August 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
$ $ $ $
Cash 186,824 - - 186,824

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 August 31, 2023, 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, amounts due to related parties and loan payable. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $4,461 as at August 31, 2023 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 12 of the financial statements.

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 is not exposed to currency risk because all financial instruments are denominated in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional currency.

16. CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statements were made, and readers are advised to consider such forward-looking statements in light of the risks as set forth below.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains “forward-looking statements, within the meaning of applicable Canadian Securities legislation”, that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forwardlooking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of gold and copper, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral estimates, the timing

and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims, limitations on insurance coverage and timing and possible outcome of pending litigation. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, or “might” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made, and they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any other future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. 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 August 31, 2023 filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and available at www.sedarplus.ca. 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.

17. 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,
