Sendero Resources Corp. (Formerly "1319732 B.C. LTD".) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2023 AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM INCORPORATION (AUGUST 13, 2021) TO JULY 31, 2022

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following management's discussion and analysis, prepared as of November 24, 2023 and should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended July 31, 2023, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") effective for the reporting period ended July 31, 2023. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and the recoverability of past expenditures mainly in day-to-day operations are dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing and/or loans to successfully complete its future objectives. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to realize its assets or discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded in the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management pursues relationships and alliances with diverse entities in order to attract additional sources of funds or other transactions that would assure the continuance of the Company's operations.

All statements in this report that do not directly and exclusively relate to historical facts constitute forward-looking statements. These statements represent the Company's intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs, and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors of which many are beyond the control of the Company. These factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Additional information related to the Company is available for view on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Sendero Resources Corp. (Formerly "1319732 B.C. Ltd.") (the "Company") was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on August 13, 2021. The head office is located at 1 Adelaide Street East, Suite 801, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 2V9 and records and registered office is located at 1000 – 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1S8.

On October 21, 2021, Rio Verde Industries Inc. ("Rio Verde") announced that the Company received a final order (the "Final Order") from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the previously announced statutory plan of arrangement with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 1319472 B.C. Ltd., 1319651 B.C. Ltd., 1319732 B.C. Ltd., 1319735 B.C. Ltd., 1319738 B.C. Ltd., 1319741 B.C. Ltd., and 1319743 B.C. Ltd. (the "Plan of Arrangement"). Receipt of the Final Order follows Rio Verde's special meeting of shareholders held on Monday, October 4, 2021 (the "Meeting"), where the Plan of Arrangement was overwhelmingly approved by a total of 23,532,011 common shares in the capital of Rio Verde ("Rio Verde Shares") having voted in favour representing 98.5% of the total number of Rio Verde Shares represented in person and by proxy at the Meeting.

The Plan of Arrangement closed on October 20, 2021.

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, the shareholders of Rio Verde now hold common shares in the following former subsidiaries of Rio Verde: 1319472 B.C. Ltd., 1319651 B.C. Ltd., 1319732 B.C. Ltd., 1319735 B.C. Ltd., 1319738 B.C. Ltd., 1319741 B.C. Ltd., and 1319743 B.C. Ltd. (collectively referred to as the "Spincos") Each of the Spincos is now an unlisted reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Shareholders of Rio Verde continue to hold their interest in Rio Verde.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement: i) Rio Verde altered its share capital to create the additional classes of common shares (the "New Common Shares") and Reorganization Shares (as defined below); (ii) each of the Rio Verde Shares was exchanged for one New Common Share, one Class 1 Reorganization Share, one Class 2 Reorganization Share, one Class 3 Reorganization Share, one Class 4 Reorganization Share, one Class 5 Reorganization Share, one Class 6 Reorganization Share and one Class 7 Reorganization Share of Rio Verde (collectively referred to as the "Reorganization Shares"), and all of the Rio Verde Shares outstanding prior to the Plan of Arrangement were cancelled; iii) one class of the Reorganization Shares were transferred to each Spinco in exchange for common shares of each Spinco on a 1:1 basis and Rio Verde redeemed all Reorganization Shares through the transfer to each Spinco \$5,000 of working capital; and iv) the Rio Verde altered its share capital so that only the New Common Shares remain, were redesignated as "common shares" and deemed to be represented by the same certificate as the previously issued and outstanding Rio Verde Shares.

On April 1, 2022 the Company and Canyon Gold & Gravel Inc. ("CGG") announced that the companies have entered into a binding letter agreement (the "Agreement") which sets forth, in general terms, the basic terms and conditions upon which 732 BC and CGG will combine their business operations resulting in a reverse takeover (the "RTO") of 732 BC by CGG and its shareholders.

On July 7, 2022, the Company announced that the letter agreement (the "Agreement") with Canyon Gold & Gravel Inc. ("CGG") as previously announced on April 1, 2022 has been terminated and the proposed transaction will not proceed.

On March 3, 2023, Sendero Resources Corp., a private company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia with mineral assets in the Peñas Negras region of Argentina, announced a proposed financing for aggregate gross proceeds of \$4,000,000 and the entering into of a binding letter agreement dated March 2, 2023 (the "Agreement") with 1319732 B.C. Ltd. Pursuant to the Agreement, Sendero and 131 will complete a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Transaction"), subject to the terms and conditions outlined below, with the ultimate result that the resulting successor of the Company (the "Resulting Issuer") will continue on as a reporting issuer and 100% owner of the business of Sendero.

Concurrently with the completion of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will seek to list its common shares for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

Sendero, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Barton SAS, holds a 100% interest of the 120 km2 Peñas Negras Project (the "Property"), located in the Vicuna district of Argentina. The Property is surrounded by significant copper discoveries belonging to Filo Mining (Filo Del Sol Project), Lundin Mining (Josemaria Project), and NGEx Minerals (Los Helados Project). Sendero will look to take advantage of its experience and operational knowledge to advance high priority drilling targets.

On January 21, 2022, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement raising aggregate gross proceeds of \$30,576 through the issuance of 2819981 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of \$0.01084 per share.

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. At July 31, 2023, the Company had no sources of revenue and had an accumulated deficit of \$218,263 (July 31, 2022 - \$60,387). At July 31, 2023, the Company had cash of \$Nil (July 31, 2022 - \$7,379) and working capital deficit of \$45,760 (July 31, 2022 - \$24,811). These conditions raise material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and the recoverability of past expenditures mainly in day-to-day operations are dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing and/or loans to successfully complete its future objectives. Management pursues relationships and alliances with diverse entities in order to attract additional sources of funds or other transactions that would assure the continuance of the Company's operations.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this MD&A and in certain documents incorporated by reference in this MD&A, constitute forward-looking information and forward-looking statements, as defined in applicable securities laws (collectively referred to herein as "forward-looking statements"). These statements relate to future events or the Company's future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements.

Also, many of the factors are beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward‐looking information. The Company undertakes no obligation to reissue or update forward looking information as a result of new information or events after the date of this MD&A except as may be required by law.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. As at July 31, 2023, the carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short term to maturity. Cash is measured at fair value.

The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations when they are due. As at July 31, 2023, the Company had cash balance of \$Nil and current liabilities of \$45,760. To manage liquidity risk, the Company reviews additional sources of capital to continue its operations and discharge its commitments as they become due. All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms.

Credit risk

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets and would arise from the non-performance by counterparties of contractual financial obligations. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on liquid assets by maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions, for which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.

Interest rate risk

As of July 31, 2023, the Company has no interest-bearing term deposits.

Currency risk

The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

As at the date of this report:

  • a) Authorized: unlimited common shares without par value
  • b) Issued and outstanding: 4,000,000 common shares.
  • c) Outstanding stock options: At July 31, 2023, there are no outstanding stock options.
  • d) Outstanding warrants: At July 31, 2023, there are no warrants outstanding.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company considers its capital to be the components of shareholders' equity. The Company's objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the development of its businesses and maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities. This is done primarily through equity financing. Future financings are dependent on market conditions and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise funds in the future.

There were no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

The Company has identified its directors and certain senior officers as its key management personnel and the compensation costs for key management personnel and companies related to them are recorded at their exchange amounts as agreed upon by transacting parties.
