MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

The Company's principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral property assets. As at December 31, 2024, the Company holds interests in early-stage mineral exploration properties located in the United States and the Company has not yet determined whether the Company's mineral property assets contain a deposit of minerals that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of and the future profitable production from the properties or realizing proceeds from its disposition. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and the uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has four wholly-owned subsidiaries, Silver Strand Exploration Corp. ("Silver Strand"), 123456 US Inc. ("123456 US"), 1304562 BC Ltd. ("BCCO"), and 1304562 Nevada Ltd. ("1304562 Nevada").

Silver Strand Project

The Silver Strand Project is in the Coeur d'Alene mining district in Idaho. Located in north Idaho's Silver Valley along Interstate 90, the district has been a significant producer of silver globally, with an aggregate total of more than 1.2 billion ounces of silver being recovered since the late 1880's, along with major quantities of lead and zinc. Presently operating underground mines are exploiting orebodies up to 1,800 meters below surface.

Asset Purchase Agreement with Silver Strand Development LLC

On June 16, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition (the "SS Acquisition") of all the issued and outstanding securities of Silver Strand. As a result of the SS Acquisition, the Company, through its' wholly owned subsidiary 123456 US, entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third party, Silver Strand Development LLC ("SSD"), (the "SSD Agreement") to acquire a 100% interest in certain mineral claims (the "SSD Claims") located in the State of Idaho, USA.

To acquire 100% interest of the SSD Claims, the Company will have to:

  • Pay US$10,000 to SSD for the transfer of the title to 123456 US of the SSD Claims (the "Transfer of Title") (paid);
  • Pay US$25,000 to SSD within 5 business days of the SS Acquisition (paid – $31,171);
  • Issue 200,000 common shares of the Company to SSD at the date of the SS Acquisition (issued with fair value of $50,000);
  • Pay US$25,000 to SSD on the anniversary following the completion of the SS Acquisition (paid – $32,371); and
  • Issue 200,000 common shares of the Company to SSD on the anniversary following the completion of the SS Acquisition (issued with a fair value of $73,000).

The Company completed a two-phase proof of concept drill program in 2021 and 2022, which confirmed that mineralization exists beyond the existing mine workings.

A total of six (6) core holes were completed in 2021 (Phase 1) with each hole encountering mineralization. Please refer to the press release dated December 14, 2021 on www.sedarplus.ca for further details.

The decrease in operating expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, was mainly due to the decrease in consulting fees, general and administrative, investor relations and promotions, project evaluation costs and regulatory and transfer agent fees, which was partially offset by the increase in foreign exchange loss. The increase in operating expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, was mainly due to the increase in investor relations and promotions, professional fees and regulatory and transfer agents, which was partially offset by the decrease in consulting fees and general and administrative.

The increase in working capital during the three months ended December 31, 2024 was due to the increase in cash from equity funds raised. The decrease in working capital during the three months ended December 31, 2023 was mainly due to the increase in operating activities.

There is no seasonality to these variations, nor are they indicative of any trend. The Company has no operating revenue and relies primarily on financing activities to fund its activities. There have been no distributions or cash dividends declared for the periods presented.

All of the Company's resource properties are in the exploration stage. The Company has not had revenue from inception and does not expect to have revenue in the near future. The Company's operating results are not seasonal in nature and have been mainly attributed to the amount of business activities. The expenses incurred in the presented periods above are relatively constant. The increase in net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was mainly due to the termination of the Shafter Silver Property share purchase agreement as the initial transaction costs that had been recorded as deferred acquisition costs were expensed as project evaluation costs. The increase in net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was mainly due to recognition of the share-based payments and one-time placement fees paid for appointing the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

RESULT OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 compared with the Three Months Ended December 31, 2023

The Company is in the exploration stage and has no revenue from operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $153,999, a decrease of $147,887, compared to a net loss of $301,886 for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

The decrease in net loss during the three months ended December 31, 2024, is primarily due to the decrease in consulting fees, general and administrative, investor relations and promotions, project evaluation costs and regulatory and transfer agent fees, which was partially offset by the increase in foreign exchange loss.

Consulting fees were $50,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $65,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $15,000 is related to the termination of corporate advisory service contracts that ended in May 2024.

General and administrative expense were $6,026 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $12,434 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $6,408 is related to the suspension of commercial general liability and umbrella insurance resulting from the pause in exploration work.

The Company does not acquire or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s operations. These financial risks and the Company’s exposure to these risks are provided in various tables in note 9 of our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2024. For a discussion on the significant assumptions made in determining the fair value of financial instruments, refer also to note 2 of the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic; the Company has not been significantly impacted by the spread of COVID-19. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, the global financial climate and the conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East are affecting current economic conditions and increasing economic uncertainty, which may impact the Company’s operating performance, financial position and the Company’s ability to raise funds at this time.

The Company is in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties. It is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties that are common to other mineral exploration companies in the same business. The industry is capital intensive at all stages and is subjected to variations in commodity prices, market sentiment, exchange rates for currency,

inflations and other risks. The Company currently has no source of revenue other than interest income. The Company will rely mainly on equity financing to fund exploration activities on its mineral properties.

The risks and uncertainties described in this section are considered by management to be the most important in the context of the Company's business. The risks and uncertainties below are not inclusive of all the risks and uncertainties the Company may be subject to and other risks may apply.

Insufficient Capital

The Company does not currently have any revenue producing operations and may, from time to time, report a working capital deficit. To maintain its activities, the Company will require additional funds which may be obtained either by the sale of equity capital or by entering into an option or joint venture agreement with a third party providing such funding. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing; failure to do so could result in the loss or substantial dilution of the Company's interest in the Silver Strand Project, the Eliza Silver Project and the Silverton Silver Project.

There can be no assurance that financing will be available to the Company or, if it is, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company and will be sufficient to fund cash needs until the Company achieves positive cash flow. If the Company is unable to obtain the financing necessary to support its operations, it may be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company currently has no commitments for any credit facilities such as revolving credit agreements or lines of credit that could provide additional working capital. The Company has no long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating leases or any other long-term obligations.

Negative Operating Cash Flow

The Company has negative operating cash flow. The failure of the Company to achieve profitability and positive operating cash flows could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that the Company has negative cash flow in future periods, the Company may need to deploy a portion of its cash reserves to fund such negative cash flow. The Company expects to continue to sustain operating losses in the future until it generates revenue from the commercial production of its properties. There is no guarantee that the Company will ever be profitable.

Exploration and Development

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.

There is no assurance that the Company's mineral exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore. The long-term profitability of the Company's operations will, in part, be directly related to the costs and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.

Uninsurable Risks

In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, certain risks, in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and the Company may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.

Permits and Government Regulations

The future operations of the Company may require permits from various federal, provincial and local governmental authorities and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, export, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, land use, environmental protections, mine safety and other matters. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary permits and approvals that may be required to undertake exploration activity or commence construction or operation of mine facilities on the Company's properties. On March 24, 2022, the Company received permits to drill at Silverton Project. The Company currently does not have any permits in place for any of other projects.

Environmental and Safety Regulations and Risks

Environmental laws and regulations may affect the operations of the Company. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality. They provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to rehabilitate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. The permission to operate can be withdrawn temporarily where there is evidence of serious breaches of health and safety standards, or even permanently in the case of extreme breaches. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous owners of acquired properties or noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations. In all major developments, the Company generally relies on recognized designers and development contractors from which the Company will, in the first instance, seek indemnities. The Company intends to minimize risks by taking steps to ensure compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and operating to applicable environmental standards. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous, making the Company's operations more expensive.

Fluctuating Mineral Prices and Currency Risk

The Company's revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the extraction and sale of precious and base minerals and metals. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of metals discovered, if any. Metal prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. Consequently, the economic viability of any of the Company's exploration projects cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in mineral prices. In addition, currency fluctuations may affect the cash flow which the Company may realize from its operations, since most mineral commodities are sold in a world market in US dollars.

Management

The success of the Company is currently largely dependent on the performance of its directors and officers. The loss of the services of any of these persons could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects. There is no assurance the Company can maintain the services of its directors, officers or other qualified personnel required to operate its business.

Public Health Crisis

The Company’s business, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics or pandemics or other health crises, including the recent outbreak of COVID-19. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a global health emergency, on March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. declared that the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States constitutes a national emergency. Over the past couple of years, there were a large number of temporary business closures, quarantines and a general reduction in consumer activity in Canada, the United States, Europe and China. The outbreak has also caused companies and various international jurisdictions to impose travel, gathering and other public health restrictions. While these effects are expected to be temporary and a number of jurisdictions, including in Canada and the United States, have started to lift certain COVID-19 related restrictions, the duration of the various disruptions to businesses locally and internationally and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Public health crises such as COVID-19 can result in volatility and disruptions in the supply and demand for gold, silver and other metals and minerals, global supply chains and financial markets, as well as declining trade and market sentiment and reduced mobility of people, all of which could affect commodity prices, interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk and inflation. The risks to the Company of such public health crises also include risks to employee health and safety, a slowdown or temporary suspension of operations in geographic locations impacted by an outbreak, increased labour and fuel costs, regulatory changes, political or economic instabilities or civil unrest.

While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is not expected to last indefinitely, the circumstances relating to the pandemic are dynamic and its impacts on the Company’s business operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. However, it is not expected that the COVID-19 pandemic will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in 2024 and going forward. As the government decreed that mining has been determined an essential service, the Company has resumed operations and have put in place the appropriate safety policies and procedures related to COVID-19.

Current Global Financial Condition

Current global financial conditions have been subject to increased volatility. Access to financing has been negatively impacted by both sub-prime mortgages in the United States and elsewhere and the liquidity crisis affecting the asset-backed commercial paper market. As such, the Company is subject to counterparty risk and liquidity risk. The Company is exposed to various counterparty risks including, but not limited to: (i) through financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash; (ii) through companies that have payables to the Company; and (iii) through the Company’s insurance providers. The Company is also exposed to liquidity risks in meeting its operating expenditure requirements in instances where cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. These factors may impact the ability of the Company to obtain loans and other credit facilities in the future and, if obtained, on terms favourable to the Company. If these increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company’s operations could be adversely impacted and the trading price of the Common Shares could be adversely affected.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The information provided in this report is the responsibility of management.
