CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following MD&A may contain forward-looking statements which 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 in the following discussion.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on January 23, 2019. On February 23, 2024, the Company changed its name from Kepler Private Equity Ltd. to Super Copper Corp. The head office and principal address of the Company is located at 1000 - 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1T2, Canada. The Company is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of resource properties.

The Company's common shares were listed and commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") effective October 7, 2024, under the trading symbol "CUPR". The Company's common shares also began trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "N60" on October 16, 2024 and on the OTCQB Market under the symbol "CUPPF" on January 15, 2025.

The Company's flagship Cordillera Cobre mineral project (the "Cordillera Cobre Property"), located in Chile's prolific Atacama region, sits in one of the world's most renowned copper-producing belts, and is poised for extensive exploration. The project benefits from being in close proximity to several established copper-gold operations and excellent infrastructure.

ACQUISITION OF SUPER COPPER HOLDINGS LTD.

On February 22, 2024, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with Super Copper Holdings Ltd. (formerly Super Copper Corp.) (the "Subsidiary") and the former holders of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Subsidiary (the "Subsidiary Shareholders"), pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Subsidiary from the Subsidiary Shareholders in exchange for 19,200,100 common shares of the Company.

The acquisition was considered to be a business combination between entities under common control. As a result, assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their predecessor carrying values rather than at fair value. The issuance of 19,200,100 shares has been measured based on the net liabilities acquired through Super Copper Holdings Ltd. being $25,560 allocating nil value to the consideration paid with $25,560 charged directly to retained earnings.

EXPLORATION PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES

During the nine months ended November 30, 2024, the Company incurred the following acquisition and exploration expenditures:

The Company, through Super Copper Holdings Ltd., entered into a joint venture agreement dated September 1, 2023 (the "JV Agreement") with Gardner Y Esteffan Limitada ("Gareste"), a Chilean corporation, regarding the future exploration and development of the Cordillera Cobre Property located in the Atacama Region of the Republic of Chile.

Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the Subsidiary, has the right to earn-in up to a 100% net interest in the Cordillera Cobre Property in consideration of (a) incurring expenditures on the property in the amount of US$2,490,000 (the "Earn-in Expenditures"), (b) making cash payments to Gareste in the amount of US$2,050,000 (the "Earn-in Payments"), and (c) issuing 6,000,000 common shares of the Company to Gareste or its designee as follows:

Super Copper Corp. Management's Discussion and Analysis For the nine months ended November 30, 2024

On April 18, 2024, the Company has earned 10% of the project interest in the Cordillera Cobre Property.

The term of the JV Agreement is 20 years, with a 2-year automatic renewal thereafter, unless the JV Agreement is earlier terminated. A party whose interest is diluted to less than 10% will have its interest converted to a 2.0% net smelter return royalty.

The Cordillera Cobre Property is located in the Atacama Region of the Republic of Chile, approximately 43 km east – northeast of the industrial city of Copiapó, which is approximately 450 km north of the capital city of Santiago. The property is comprised of 27 exploitation concessions in application forming a single block of approximately 7,430 hectares. The applications are pending regulatory approval required to certify the mining concessions.

Of the 27 concessions, all are currently in the application process, and all are applied for as exploitation licenses under Gareste. The property is surrounded by a number of copper occurrences and historical inactive and active small mines. The most significant of these are Farellones, which lies in the northern side of the Property; Resguardo, which is active and located approximately 2.5 km to the northeast; Las Rosas/Mariela, which is active and lies 200 m to the north; Conveniencia, which is intermittently active and is located on the eastern edge of Cordillera; the past producing Venado Sur mine, located approximately 2.5 km to the southwest; Venado Norte, which is inactive and lies 2.7 km to the east; and Mina Dulcinea, approximately 13 km to the northwest.

Historical sampling of various rock and soil media has identified the existence of copper oxides, native copper, and, in some cases, sulphide copper on the property. Additional grid sampling, prospect pit sampling, and preliminary geologic mapping indicated several areas worthy of follow up examination.

Copper mineralization at the property occurs as mostly oxide copper in faults and shear zones, which may be stratabound, and as native copper with attendant oxides as disseminations, fracture fillings, and matrix fillings in coarse volcaniclastic rocks, flow top breccias, and andesitic agglomerates. After review of the mineral occurrences at the property, and confirmation of reported sample grades, it is recommended that the Company continue exploration and evaluation of the mineral potential of the property. The budget for such recommended exploration is estimated at approximately $125,000 for the Stage 1 exploration program. A Stage 2 exploration program that includes drilling has been outlined for $1,125,000. The Stage 2 program is contingent upon positive results from Stage 1.

The main Stage 1 recommendations are to conduct a systematic property-wide sampling program for a month to two months, with geological mapping, perhaps some backhoe trenching to get to exposed volcanics and even some limited helicopter supported traverses and sampling in remote areas, investigate the potential to conduct a drone or ground magnetic survey to cover prospective portions of the property, and to acquire some LandSat/Hyperspectral data for the property in order to assist in evaluating the geology and mineralization at the property.

On December 12, 2024, the Company announced the completion of its Stage 1 field exploration program at the Cordillera Cobre Property. Over 100 surface samples were collected across targeted zones to analyze mineralization potential, which have been sent to a laboratory for geochemical analysis. Results of WorldView-3 hyperspectral data covering 79 square kilometers identified exploration areas with significant mineral alteration patterns, such as sericite, kaolinite, calcite, and hematite, that one or more could be indicative of potential copper mineralization and warrant follow-up exploration. Sample geochemical results are expected to be published in the coming months, with findings to be released upon completion of detailed reviews.

The results from Stage 1 will guide the Company's plans for the next steps of exploration in 2025, including identifying potential drill targets in high-priority zones. The integration of hyperspectral data and geochemical results will enhance precision in identifying potential copper mineralization across the project area.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at November 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $66,478 and working capital deficiency of $28,526. During the nine months ended November 30, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $933,550, and net cash provided by financing activities consisted of gross proceeds of $1,000,000 received from private placements, offset by share issuance costs of $55,919.

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the costs of capital within a framework of acceptable risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders' equity as well as cash. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash. The Company is dependent on the capital markets as its primary source of operating working capital and the Company's capital resources are largely determined by its ability to compete for investor support of its projects.

Super Copper is in the exploration stage and is subject to risks and challenges similar to companies in a comparable stage. These risks include, but are not limited to, the challenges of securing adequate capital in view of exploration, development and operational risks inherent in the mining industry; changes in government policies and regulations; the ability to obtain the necessary environmental permitting; challenges in future profitable production; as well as global economic, precious and base metal price volatility; all of which are uncertain.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At November 30, 2024, the Company had accumulated losses of $1,916,333 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon obtaining necessary financing to meet its ongoing operational levels of exploration and corporate overhead. There is a material uncertainty related to these


Super Copper Corp. Management's Discussion and Analysis For the nine months ended November 30, 2024

conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Additional funds will be required to enable the Company to continue its operations and there can be no assurance that financing will be available on terms which are acceptable to the Company. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its operations as a going concern.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

The Company incurred capital exploration and evaluation expenditures of $nil during the nine months ended November 30, 2024 (2023 - $nil).

CRITICAL JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgement and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets/liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates underlying various assumptions. Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the combined consolidated statement of financial position date that could result in material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, include the following:

Critical accounting estimates

  • Fair value of stock options and warrants

Critical accounting judgments

  • Recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
  • Going concern
  • Common control transaction

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is currently subject to financial and regulatory risks. The financial risk is derived from the uncertainty pertaining to the Company's ability to raise capital to continue operations. Regulatory risks include the possible delays in getting regulatory approval for the transactions that the Board of Directors believe to be in the best interest of the Company, and include increased fees for filings and the introduction of ever more complex reporting requirements, the cost of which the Company must meet in order to maintain its exchange listing.

There is no assurance that the exploration of the Company's properties will be successful in its quest to find a commercially viable quantity of mineral resources. The Company's exploration and development activities may be affected by changes in government, political instability and the nature of various government regulations relating to the mining industry. The Company cannot predict the government's positions on mining concessions, land tenure, environmental regulation or taxation. A change in government positions on these issues could adversely affect the Company's business and/or its holdings, assets and operations. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the control of the Company.
