On December 7, 2020 the Company’s common shares began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the trading symbol “WEST”.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

a) Qualifying Transaction respecting the Kagoot Brook Property

In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, on May 11, 2020, the Company entered into a sale, assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assumption Agreement”) with Origen Resources Inc. (“Origen”) in connection with the purchase and assumption by the Company of all of Origen’s right and interest under an option and joint venture agreement (the “Underlying Agreement”) dated May 10, 2018, as amended January 7, 2020, with Great Atlantic Resources Corp.

West Mining Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the period ended January 31, 2022

To successfully exercise the Option, the Company was required to: (a) incur a total of $650,000 in exploration expenditures on or before May 10, 2022; and (b) make aggregate cash payments of $110,000 to Great Atlantic, as follows: $30,000 by May 23, 2020 (paid by Origen); $30,000 by January 23, 2021 (paid); and $50,000 ($28,500 paid) by January 23, 2022.

Pursuant to a sale, assignment and assumption agreement dated 24 June 2021 between the Company and Recharge Resources Ltd. (formerly Le Mare Gold Group) (the “Assignee”), the Company assigned its rights to acquire the 75% interest in, and commitments and obligations related to, the Kagoot Brook Property to the Assignee in exchange for 1,000,000 common shares of the Assignee. The Company recorded a loss on disposal of $101,000 in 2021 year end, which represents the difference between the carrying value of the Kagoot Brook Property and the fair value of the Assignee’s common shares received.

b) Pilgrim Property

On December 23, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with shareholders of Pilgrim Exploration Corp. (“Pilgrim”), under which the Company acquired all of Pilgrim’s issued and outstanding common shares. Pilgrim was the registered holder of 10 mineral exploration claims located in the Nelson Mining District in British Columbia. In exchange for the purchase of Pilgrim’s shares, the Company issued 3,000,000 units valued at $540,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.35 for a period of two years from the date of issuance.

In connection with the transaction, the Company also issued 300,000 units as finder’s fees, with each unit comprising of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.63 for a period of two years from the date of issuance.

The acquisition of Pilgrim did not meet the definition of a business combination, and therefore has been accounted for as an asset purchase of mineral property interests with the Company acquiring the outstanding shares of Pilgrim on December 23, 2020. The consideration for the acquisition of Pilgrim has been based on the fair value of the units issued as of the date of their issuance.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the total consideration paid and the aggregate fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Purchase price	$
3,000,000 units of the Company issued	540,000

The Company also paid finder’s fees of $80,000 and issued 555,556 common shares with a fair value of $188,889.

The acquisition of 1194854 did not meet the definition of a business combination, and therefore has been accounted for as an asset purchase of mineral property interests with the Company acquiring the outstanding shares of 1194854 on December 23, 2020. The consideration for 1194854 has been calculated based on the cash payments and fair value of the common shares issued, and 100% of the purchase consideration has been allocated to exploration and evaluation assets acquired.

Apex Agreement to purchase remaining 20% interest

Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated April 7, 2021 with Apex Resources Inc.

In connection with the transaction, the Company issued 310,000 units for finder’s fees, with each unit comprising of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.63 for a period of two years from the date of issuance.

The transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination and therefore, has been accounted for as an asset purchase of mineral property interests with the Company acquiring the outstanding shares of Folkestone on January 25, 2021.

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

West Mining Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the period ended January 31, 2022

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.

In March 2020, there was a global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19. The actual and threatened spread of the virus globally has had a material adverse effect on the global economy and specifically, the regional economies in which the Company operates. The pandemic could result in delays in the course of business and could have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company’s shares and its ability to raise new capital. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations at this time. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, marketable securities, loan receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company designated its all the financial instruments as amortized cost.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, by reference to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values.

• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2 – techniques (other than quoted prices included in level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

• Level 3 – techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on recorded fair values for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

As at January 31, 2022, the Company believes that the carrying values of cash, marketable securities, loan receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The Company’s cash is held with a reputable Canadian bank. The credit risk related to cash is considered minimal.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The risk that the Company will realize such a loss is limited because the Company’s loan receivable has a fixed interest rate.

Liquidity risk

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash to enable settlement of transactions as they come due. Management monitors the Company’s contractual obligations and other expenses to ensure adequate liquidity is maintained.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

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 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 are beyond the control of the Company.
