Running Fox Resource Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis For the Three Months Ended May 31, 2025 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Running Fox Resource Corp. (the "Company" or "Running Fox") has adopted the format prescribed by the Canadian Securities Regulators for the Company's Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A"). The following MD&A has been prepared as of June 30, 2025, and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended May 31, 2025 and the related notes, together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2024 and the related notes.
Our fiscal year end is November 30. References to a fiscal year refer to the calendar year in which such fiscal year ends. Our quarter ends are the three-month periods that end on the last day of February, May, August, and November. For instance, "Q2 2025" refers to the three months ended May 31, 2025.
The referenced consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). All dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency, unless otherwise indicated.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
By its nature, this MD&A may contain certain information of a forward-looking nature. Such forward-looking information involves substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Most of these are beyond the control of the Company and may include: the impact of unpredictable swings in government policies and requirements, general economic conditions, industry conditions, currency fluctuations, environmental risks, and volatility of commodity prices.
Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used, while considered reasonable by the Company at the time, could subsequently prove to be incorrect to various degrees. As such, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements.
1. Description of Business
The Company was incorporated under the laws of Province of British Columbia on September 1, 1981. The Company is in the business of reviewing, optioning, or acquiring suitable projects and developing those projects for eventual cash flow.
2. Overall Performance
For the three months ended May 31, 2025, the Company reported a net and comprehensive loss of $14,848, compared to net and comprehensive loss of $88,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2024. Total operating expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2025 amounted to $7,249, compared to $7,916 for the three months ended May 31, 2024. The Company did not report any revenues during both periods.
Running Fox Resource Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis For the Three Months Ended May 31, 2025 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
The variance in net and comprehensive loss from Q2 2024 to Q2 2025 was influenced by the following:
1) Trading and Holding of Marketable Securities:
In Q2 2025, the Company recorded realized loss on sale of marketable securities of $14,894 and unrealized gain on marketable securities of $7,407, for a net loss of $7,487 relating to the trading and holding of marketable securities. In comparison, in Q2 2024, the Company recorded realized gain on sale of marketable securities of $4,956 and unrealized loss on marketable securities of $84,775, for combined loss of $79,819 relating to the trading and holding of marketable securities.
The Company's working capital decreased from $49,025 as at November 30, 2024 to $14,419 as at May 31, 2025. The decrease in working capital was primarily caused by a decrease in marketable securities as the Company did not raise any financing during the current period and continued to utilize cash generated from the sale of marketable securities to fund its operations.
No significant trends have caused large variations in the Company's business model of reviewing, optioning, or acquiring suitable projects and advancing them toward potential cash flow. During Q2 2025, the Company has continued its search for suitable investment opportunities.
3. Results of Operations
Three Months Ended May 31, 2025
During the three months ended May 31, 2025, the Company recorded operating expenses of $7,249, compared to $7,916 for the same period in 2024. Operating expenses remained substantially consistent year-over-year, with no material fluctuations in any individual expense category.
For the three months ended May 31, 2025, the Company recorded a net and comprehensive loss of $14,848, compared to net and comprehensive loss of $88,000 for the same period in 2024. The variance was primarily driven by differences in the performance of the Company's marketable securities portfolio.
In Q2 2025, the trading and holding of marketable securities resulted in a net loss of $7,487, comprised of a realized loss on sale of $14,894 and an unrealized gain of $7,407. In contrast, in Q2 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $79,819 from marketable securities, driven by an unrealized loss of $84,775 and a realized gain on sale of $4,956. The significant unrealized loss in Q2 2024 was the primary contributor to that period's net and comprehensive loss.
Six Months Ended May 31, 2025
During the six months ended May 31, 2025, the Company recorded operating expenses of $24,146, compared to $48,174 for the same period in 2024. The variance was primarily attributable to a difference in management fees. In the current period, the Company's CEO waived

his management fees, whereas $22,500 was incurred in the comparative period.
The Company recorded a net and comprehensive loss of $34,861 in the six months ended May 31, 2025, compared to a net and comprehensive income of $12,810 in the same period in 2024. The variance in results can be attributed to the Company's trading and holding of marketable securities.
In the six months ended May 31, 2025, the Company recorded $10,920 of realized loss on sale of marketable securities and $429 of unrealized gain on marketable securities. In comparison, in the six months ended May 31, 2024, the Company recorded $2,824 of realized gain on sale of marketable securities and $58,430 of unrealized gain on marketable securities, resulting in a total gain of $61,254.

5. Liquidity
The following table contains selected financial information of the Company's liquidity from continuing operations:
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31-May | 28-Feb | 30-Nov | 31-Aug | 31-May | 29-Feb | 30-Nov | 31-Aug | |
| Cash | 14,621 | 8,046 | 341 | 638 | 2,183 | 8,070 | 9,704 | 124,617 |
| Working capital | 14,419 | 29,139 | 49,025 | 128,178 | 140,450 | 228,268 | 127,276 | 73,816 |
At May 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $14,621, as compared to $341 at November 30, 2024. The Company did not raise any financing during the period and funded its operations using proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.
During the six months ended May 31, 2025, the Company had a cash inflow of $14,280, compared
Running Fox Resource Corp.
Management Discussion and Analysis
For the Three Months Ended May 31, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
to cash outflow of $7,521 during the six months ended May 31, 2024. Operating activities utilized $16,567 of cash during the six months ended May 31, 2025, as compared to $21,501 for the six months ended May 31, 2024. The Company did not raise any financing and solely relied on its available cash generated from the sale of its marketable securities during the period to support its operations.
Investing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $30,847 during the six months ended May 31, 2025, compared to a cash inflow of $13,980 during the six months ended May 31, 2024. The cash flows for investing activities were primarily associated with the trading of marketable securities.
At May 31, 2025, the Company's working capital amounted to $14,419, which represents a decrease of $34,606 from working capital of $49,025 as of November 30, 2024. The decrease in the company's working capital during the period was primarily attributable to two factors related to its holdings of marketable securities. First, there was a reduction in the total amount of marketable securities held, as a portion was liquidated to meet operational needs. Second, market fluctuations negatively impacted the valuation of the remaining securities, contributing further to the overall decrease in working capital.
6. Segmented Information
The Company is currently identifying new business opportunities. All assets and operations are located in Canada.
7. Capital Resources
The Company's capital resources primarily rely on potential financings through brokered and non-brokered private placements and potential debt financing if favourable fiscal terms are available.
Although it currently has sufficient capital to satisfy existing operating and administrative expenses in the short term, the Company will depend primarily upon equity to finance its future projects. There can be no assurance that capital requirements will be met by this means of financing as inherent risks are attached therein, including commodity prices, financial market conditions, and general economic factors.
There were no financing activities during the three and six months ended May 31, 2025.
8. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There were no off-balance sheet arrangements for the three and six months ended May 31, 2025.
9. Related Party Transactions

As at May 31, 2025, the Company owed $23,625 (November 30, 2024 - $23,625) to the CEO of the Company, which is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.
