MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Form 51-102F1

Year ended February 28, 2022

The following management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial position and results of operations for Cesar Minerals Corp. (the “Company” or “Cesar”) should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended February 28, 2022. Except as otherwise disclosed, all dollar figures included therein and in the following management discussion and analysis are quoted in Canadian dollars.

1.1 Date of This Report

June 28, 2022

1.2 Overall Performance

Description of Business

Cesar Minerals Corp. is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of resource properties.

The Company was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada on December 29, 2017. The Company’s principal place of business and registered records office is located at 830-1100 Melville Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4A6.

Mineral Properties

SAT Project

The 5,617 hectare Sat Property is an exploration stage porphyry copper-gold prospect that is accessible by vehicle. The property is located in west-central British Columbia, approximately 10 kilometres west of the town of Granisle, BC. The property is located on NTS map sheet 93L/16, falls within the jurisdiction of the Skeena Mining Division, and is centered at about 665,000 mE / 6,085,500 mN, UTM NAD83, zone 9.

The Sat Property is located within the Intermontane Tectonic Belt, a partly collisional tectonic belt comprised of a series of accreted terranes. The largest of these terranes is Stikinia, which underlies the Sat Property and a large portion of central British Columbia. In the area of the Sat Property, Stikinia consists of the Lower to Middle Jurassic Hazelton and upper Triassic Takla Group, comprised of subaerial to submarine calc-alkaline island-arc volcanic and sedimentary rocks, and Eocene intermediate to mafic volcanic rocks belonging to the Newman Formation. These units are locally intruded by Early Jurassic, late Cretaceous and Eocene granodioritic to dioritic stocks, plugs and dikes, including porphyritic intrusions.

Exploration for mineral resources at the Sat property began in the early 1970's, with intermittent exploration programs taking place up to present. The most recent significant drilling program, which most of the interpretations and conclusions are drawn from, is the 2014 diamond drilling program completed by Redhill Resources Corp. Several significant copper intercepts were achieved at the Sat Main zone in 2014, including 105.0 metres grading 0.104% copper. In November and December of 2020, an Induced Polarization survey covering the northern portion of the Sat Property was commissioned by Cesar Minerals Corp. The survey comprised 16.3 line kilometers on 5 northeast traverses measuring the 1st to 8th separation utilizing an a-spacing of 100 metres. The intent of the survey was to outline additional areas of high chargeability, which would likely be indicative of disseminated sulphides possibly associated with a copper ± gold ± molybdenum porphyry deposit. Apart from reconfirming the high chargeability

response at the historically drilled Sat Main zone, the 2020 IP survey outlined a particularly strong IP chargeability response on the most northerly survey line. The anomaly, which remains open to the north, is designated the “CHE anomaly” and is coincident with an area of magnetic disruption that could be related to the alteration halo of a porphyry system. Given the characteristics of the mineralization observed, as well as the local and regional geological settings, the Sat Property has the potential to host a porphyry copper ± molybdenum ± gold deposit.

Recommended work includes a two-hole diamond drilling program designed to test for copper mineralization at the Sat Main zone at greater depths than those reached by historical operators. Concurrent with the drilling program, additional Induced Polarization surveying designed to expand the CHE anomaly to the north is recommended, along with a soil sampling survey covering the CHE anomaly and northwards toward the property boundary.

August 31, 2020 $Nil $302 $0.01
May 31, 2020 $Nil - $0.01

The company commenced fundraising in Q3 of fiscal year ended February 28, 2021. In Q4 2021, the Company continued financing, optioned the SAT mineral project and performed an I.P. Survey on the SAT project. In Q1 of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, the Company commenced the process of obtaining a public listing. In Q2, Q3, and Q4 2022, the Company raised additional funds and continued to complete its listing on the CSE.

1.6 Liquidity

As the Company has no revenue generating projects at this time, the ability of the Company to carry out its business plan rests with its ability to secure equity and other financings. At February 28, 2022, the Company’s working capital was $1,192,854 compared to working capital of $1,109,742 on February 28, 2021.

The Company will require additional financing to fund any new acquisitions and exploration programs. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. The ability of the Company to acquire additional projects is conditional on its ability to secure financing when required. There is material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with cash on hand, loans from directors and or private placement of common shares.

1.7 Capital Resources

At February 28, 2022 the capital of the Company consisted of cash in the bank, GST receivable, and prepaid expenses totaling $1,241,555 (2021: $1,131,260). The Company will have to generate additional cash from equity and/or debt to meet its commitments.

1.8 Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

At February 28, 2022, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements to which the Company is committed.

1.9 Transactions with Related Parties

There was no remuneration paid to key management personnel during the years ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021.

On November 30, 2020, the Company optioned the SAT project in British Columbia with Piotr Lutynski, Divitiae and Mardu. See Note 4 of the accompanying financial statements for cash payment made to and shares issued to Divitiae and Mardu.

1.10 Fourth Quarter

The Company completed one financings and continued to complete its listing on the CSE.

1.11 Proposed Transactions

There are no proposed transactions that will materially affect the performance of the Company.

1.12 Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make

Prudent Minerals Corp.

estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reference should be made to Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies and Note 3 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments in the notes to the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 for more information concerning the accounting principles used in the preparation of the Company’s audited financial statements.

1.13 Changes in Accounting Policies

No new accounting policies were adopted during the year ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021 other than those disclosed in the accompanying financial statements.

1.14 Financial Instruments and Risks

As at February 28, 2022, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Fair Value

The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with an established hierarchy that priorities the inputs in valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly, and Level 3 Inputs that are not based on observable market date

Cash is carried at fair value using a Level 1 fair value measurement. The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate its fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.

Financial Risks

The Company has analyzed the following risks:

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. At February 28, 2022, the Company had cash of $1,208,794 (2021: $1,126,260) to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $48,701 (2021: $21,518). Readers’ attention is drawn to Note 1 of the financial statements regarding going concern issue of the Company and section 1.6 of this MD&A.

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. The Company's ability to raise capital to fund mineral resource exploration is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in mineral resource 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.

Interest rate risk

Page | 5

Prudent Minerals Corp.

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of gold and other precious and base metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist principally of cash. To minimize the credit risk the Company places these instruments with a high credit quality financial institution.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for natural resources and harm our business and results of operations. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business or results of operations at this time.

Ukraine Conflict

In late February 2022, a conflict commenced in Ukraine. In response, various countries, including Canada, issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia. The ramifications of the sanctions may not be limited to Russia and Ukraine and may spill over to and negatively impact other regional and global economic markets, sectors, industries and markets for securities and commodities globally. The current circumstances are dynamic and the duration of the conflict and related impact of imposed sanctions on the business cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. While the Company expects direct impacts of the conflict in Ukraine to the business to be limited, the direct impacts on the economy may negatively affect the business and future operations of the Company.
