For the purposes of preparing this MD&A, management, in conjunction with the Board of Directors, considers the materiality of information. Information is considered material if: (i) such information results in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a significant change in the market price or value of the Company’s common shares; or (ii) there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making an investment decision; or (iii) if it would significantly alter the total mix of information available to investors.

Description of Business and Overview
Traction Uranium Corp was incorporated under the BC Business Corporations Act as “Traction Exploration Inc.” on July 20, 2020. On November 4, 2021, the Company changed its name to “Traction Uranium Corp.” to highlight the Company’s intention to focus on uranium exploration and the acquisition. The principal business of the Company is the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of resource properties.
The Company has not commenced commercial operations. At present, the Company has no current operating income. Without additional financing, the Company may not be able to fund its ongoing operations and complete its development activities. The Company intends to finance its future requirements through a combination of debt and/or equity issuance. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financings or obtain them on favourable terms. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise sufficient working capital to maintain operations.
At the time this MD&A was prepared the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the global economy and increased volatility in the global financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s business and financing opportunities will depend on future developments such as the geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing, business closures or business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada, and other countries to contain and treat the disease. Although it is not possible to reliably estimate the length or severity of these developments and their financial impact to the date of this MD&A, there may be
2 | P a g e
further significantly adverse impacts on the Company's financial position and results of operations for future periods if the pandemic is not successfully contained or the effects of which are not mitigated.
The Company’s need to raise sufficient working capital to maintain operations and the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, casts significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements.
At September 30, 2021, the Company had working capital[(1)] of $612,677 (September 30, 2020 - $227,449) which included cash of $677,874 (September 30, 2020 - $201,306) available to meet short-term business requirements and liabilities of $70,420 (September 30, 2020 - $14,509). The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company has no long-term debt.
(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measure: The Company uses “working capital” to assess liquidity and general financial strength and is calculated as current assets less current liabilities. Working capital does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is referred to as a “Non-GAAP Financial Measure.” It is unlikely for Non-GAAP Financial Measures to be comparable to similar measures presented by other – companies. Working capital is calculated as current assets (September 30, 2021 - $683,097; September 30, 2020 $241,958), – less current liabilities (September 30, 2021 - $70,420; September 30, 2020 $14,509).

The Company’s related parties consist of key management personnel and companies owned directly or indirectly by key management personnel.
Key management personnel include persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole. The Company has determined that key management personnel consist of executive and non-executive members of the Board of Directors and corporate officers.

Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in note 3 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2021.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
In preparing this MD&A, management has made significant assumptions regarding the circumstances and timing of the transactions contemplated therein, which could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities if changes to the assumptions are made.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments as at September 30, 2021 include cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
9 | P a g e
The Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are classified and measured as follows:
| Financial instrument | Category |
|---|---|
| Cash | Fair value through profit or loss |
| Accountspayable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
- (a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk for the Company is associated with its cash.
The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk as its cash is placed with a major Canadian financial institution.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company relies upon equity financings to satisfy its capital requirements and will continue to depend heavily upon equity capital to finance its activities. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain required financing in the future on acceptable terms.
As at September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $677,874 (2020 - $201,306) available to apply against short-term business requirements and current liabilities of $70,420 (2020 - $14,509). All of the liabilities presented as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within 90 days of September 30, 2021.
- (c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. The Company is not exposed to significant market risk.
Management’s responsibility for financial statements
The information provided in this report, including the financial statements is the responsibility of management. In the preparation of these statements, estimates are sometimes necessary to make a determination of future values for certain assets or liabilities. Management believes such estimates have been based on careful judgements and have been properly reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
