VISCOUNT MINING CORP.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2025
OVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTORY COMMENT
Viscount is a project generator and an exploration company with a portfolio of silver and gold properties in the Western United States, including Silver Cliff in Colorado and Cherry Creek in Nevada.
The Silver Cliff property in Colorado lies within the historic Hardscrabble Silver District in the Wet Mountain Range, Custer County, south-central Colorado. It is located 44 miles WSW of Pueblo, Colorado, and has year-around access by paved road. The property consists of 929.6 hectares high grade silver, gold and base metal production came from numerous mines during the period 1878 to the mid 1900’s. The property underwent substantial exploration between 1967 and 1984.
The property is interpreted to encompass a portion of a caldera and highly altered sequence of tertiary rhyolitic flows and pyroclastic units which hosts the potential metal deposits. Drilling in the 1980s by Tenneco resulted in a pre-feasibility study on which basis it was planned to bring the property to production. The plan was abandoned following the takeover by another company.
Viscount completed a drill program at Silver Cliff to expand the ACS 2018 resource estimate. The resource estimate was completed by the Company who retained Mr. Harald Hoegberg to update the mineral resource estimate conducted by Arseneau Consulting Services (ACS) in 2018 on the Kate Silver Resource (KSR), determined based on the work completed that the Kate deposit contains an Indicated and Measured Mineral Resource averaging 71 grams of silver per tonne for 10,275,000 ounces of silver and Inferred Mineral Resource averaging 52 grams of silver per tonne for 14,215,000 ounces of silver.
The Cherry Creek Property focus is on the exploration in the immediate vicinity of an area commonly known as the Cherry Creek Mining District, located approximately 50 miles north of the town of Ely, in White Pine County, Nevada.
Cherry Creek consists of 578 unpatented and 41 patented claims as well as mill rights and is comprised of more than 5090.19 hectares. Cherry Creek includes more than 20 past producing mines including Blue Bird, Chance Mine, Filmore, Last Chance, Star, Exchequer/ New Century Mine, TiCup and Motherlode mines and other promising targets.
This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those described under “Forward-Looking Information”.
This MD&A is dated July 29, 2025 and discloses specified information up to that date. Unless otherwise noted, all currency amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars. The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the related notes for the period ended May 31, 2025, and the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2024, and the related notes thereto.

EXPLORATION UPDATE – Silver Cliff, Colorado & Cherry Creek, Nevada
The Company has completed its initial drill hole at the Passiflora target in Silver Cliff, Colorado and is currently awaiting assay results from the laboratory. Upon receipt of these results, Company geologists will continue refining
QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
exploration models and identifying new targets, with the goal of advancing and expanding the potential resource outlined in the revised NI 43-101 report.
At Cherry Creek, Nevada, geological teams remain focused on gaining a deeper understanding of the existing structural framework and expanding known mineralized zones. These efforts will support the planning of future exploration programs. Once the current study is finalized, the Company will announce its next steps for advancing the Cherry Creek project.
Silver Cliff, Colorado
Kate Silver Resource:
On April 20, 2023, the Company released an independent, updated mineral resource estimate in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The resource estimate was completed by Viscount Mining Corp. (Viscount) who retained Mr. Harald Hoegberg to update the mineral resource estimate conducted by Arseneau Consulting Services (ACS) in 2018 on the Kate Silver Resource (KSR), a deposit located on Viscount's Silver Cliff property, just north of the town of Silver Cliff, in Custer County, Colorado. This NI 43-101 demonstrates a major expansion of the open pit (OP) mineralization at the Kate. Based on the recommendations contained in the NI 43-101, Viscount is a currently in the process of mapping and planning how to advance the Kate Deposit.
Passifloria:
Based on Titan survey at Passifloria, the main body of the conductive anomaly starts at a depth of ~450m and continues another ~1.5km, maybe deeper (this was the extent of the MT survey depth capability). The length of the anomaly is ~1.4km in the SW-NE direction with a width of at least 700m and an open interpretation to the untested NW. This represents a total volume of over 665,000,000m³ as determined by Quantec.
As verified by Quantec geoscientists, a deposit with this large-scale size and this high of a conductivity (extremely low resistivity) is likely explained by a huge system of interconnected fractures mineralized with a highly conductive metal such as gold, silver, or copper.
During drilling activities on the first deep Passiflora core hole (see news release March 20, 2025) our field geologists observed compelling geological features that suggest a potential for valuable deposits in copper porphyry systems.
The core has been sent to SGS Labs in Phoenix for assaying and will publish results when completed and analyzed by our geological team
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS/OVERALL PERFORMANCE
In January 2025, the Company granted 3,750,000 options to Directors, Officers and consultants exercisable at $0.30 per share for a period of five years expiring on January 22, 2030.
