The disclosure of technical information in this MD&A has been approved by Jamie Lavigne, P. Geo., and a Qualified Person (“ QP ”) for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“ NI 43-101 ”).

The effective date of this report is August 28, 2023.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company was incorporated on November 27, 2020, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 520, 470 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral property assets. As at June 30, 2023, the Company had not yet determined whether the Company’s mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.

Corporate Summary

Since incorporation, Westmount has executed five Mineral Property Option Agreements which enables the Company to earn a 100% interest in the:

  • 1) 4,800-hectare Douay East Property (the “ Douay East Property ”);

  • 2) 3,700-hectare Bell Gold Property (the “ Bell Property ”);

  • 3) 2,222-hectare Otatakan Lithium Property (the “ Otatakan Property ");

  • 4) 2,780-hectare Pilot East Lithium Property (the “ Pilot East Property ”), and

  • 5) 3,486-hectare Kaba Lithium Property (the “ Kaba Property ”).

The Douay East Property and Bell Property are both located approximately 32 kilometers south of Matagami in the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone within the greater Abitibi Greenstone Belt region of Quebec, one of the most productive greenstone belts in the world. The Douay East Property has been the subject of historical exploration programs mostly completed in the 1980’s. Ground-based exploration has been limited to the northern part of the Douay East Property and includes magnetic, electromagnetic, and induced polarization surveys. Twenty-three diamond drill holes were completed with 13 holes returning anomalous gold assays.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Corporate Summary (Continued)

The ground adjacent to the Douay East Property, to the north, east, and west, all part of the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone, is covered by active exploration claims. Three adjacent properties contain reported mineral resources and one of these properties has reported gold production. These include the Douay Gold Project located to the west of the Douay East Property and operated by Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (" Maple "), the Vezza Gold Project owned by Nottaway Resources Inc. (" Nottaway ") located to the northeast of the Douay East Property, and the N2 Gold Project located to the east of the Douay East Property and owned by Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (" Wallbridge "). The Qualified Person responsible for this MD&A has not verified the information on the adjacent properties and the information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Douay East Property.

During April 2021, Westmount completed a high resolution airborne magnetic survey over the Douay East Property, identifying priority target areas potentially favourable to host gold mineralization. Subsequent to its IPO, March 17, 2022, the Company implemented and completed a soil sampling program wherein a total of 1,016 samples were collected and analyzed for Soil Gas Hydrocarbon (“ SGH ”) compounds and interpretation of the results has been completed. The SGH geochemical exploration program is Phase 1 of a 2 Phase exploration program and consisted of 3 target areas on the Douay East Property comprising 3 separate sampling grids. The targets are structures and structural complexities inferred from the interpretation of the 2021 high resolution airborne magnetic survey and which are assumed to be gold bearing based on historical drilling on the Douay East Property as well as regional geological compilation. The Company has received the results, and completed interpretation, and drill targets have been identified.

LIQUIDITY

As at June 30, 2023, Westmount had working capital surplus of 46,223 (2022: $278,989) which included a cash balance of $23,386.

The Company does not currently own or have an interest in, any producing mineral properties, does not derive any revenues from operations, and is not exposed to commodity price risk. As a result, the Company will rely on completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings. This may also affect the Company’s liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The key to success in managing liquidity is the degree of certainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, ending May 5, 2023, has led to adverse impacts on the Canadian and global economies, disruptions of financial markets, and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts to the Company’s supply chain and operations. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and could further impact the Company’s operations and the operations of the Company’s suppliers and vendors as a result of quarantines, facility closures, and travel and logistics restrictions. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s suppliers and vendors and the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local and federal governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The management team is closely following the progression of COVID-19 and its potential impact on the Company. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time our business, liquidity, capital resources and financial results.

The Company is not expected to be profitable during the ensuing twelve months and therefore must rely on securing additional funds from either equity financing or loan from shareholders or directors for cash consideration, and while the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past, there is no assurance that it will continue to generate sufficient funds for future operations.

Westmount Minerals Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis For the three-month period ended June 30, 2023

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company does not generate cash flows from operating activities. The Company is not expected to be profitable during the ensuing twelve months and therefore must rely on securing additional funds from either equity financing or loan from shareholders or directors for cash consideration, and while the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past, there is no assurance that it will continue to generate sufficient funds for future operations.

Objectives when managing capital are to:

  • a) Provide an adequate return to shareholders;

  • b) Provide adequate and efficient funding for operations;

  • c) Continue the development of its business and support any expansion plans;

  • d) Allow flexibility to investment in other revenues; and

  • e) Maintain a capital structure, which optimizes the cost of capital at acceptable risk.

In the management of capital, all accounts are included in shareholders’ deficiency. As at June 30, 2023, the Company had no bank indebtedness.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised and future years if the revisions affects both current and future years. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the financial position reporting date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumption made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

Significant accounting estimates

  • i. The measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities ii. The measurement of share-based payments

Significant accounting judgements

  • i. The evaluation of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern

RISK MANAGEMENT, CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

International Financial Reporting Standards 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures , establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs 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 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, which is measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs., and accounts payable, measured at amortized cost, for which the carrying value approximates the fair values due to the relatively short period of maturity of this instrument.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring bases were presented on the Company’s statement of financial position as at June 30, 2023 are as follows:

RISK MANAGEMENT, CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (Continued)

  • (ii) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that cash is maintained at the financial institutions. The fair value interest rate risk on cash is insignificant due to its short-term nature.

The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to management interest rate fluctuations.

(iii) 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 of cash. To minimize credit risk the Company places these instruments with a high-quality financial institution.

  • (iv) Liquidity risk

In the management of liquidity risk of the Company, the company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations.

  • (v) Commodity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. As June 30, 2023, the Company is not a revenue producing entity. As a result, commodity price risk may affect the completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. Commodity prices may also affect the Company’s liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations.

Reliance on Key Personnel

The Company is dependent on a relatively small number of key people, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on its operations. The Company does not carry any key man insurance.
