Date of Report: April 27, 2021

General

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of Wolfden Resources Corporation should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 with a comparative period for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the notes thereto. The Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Unless otherwise stated, all amounts discussed herein are denominated in Canadian dollars. This MD&A was prepared as of April 27, 2021, and all information is current as of such date. Readers are encouraged to read the Corporation’s public information filings on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

This discussion provides management's analysis of Wolfden’s historical financial and operating results and provides estimates of Wolfden’s future financial and operating performance based on information currently available. Actual results will vary from estimates and the variances may be significant. Readers should be aware that historical results are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Certain information set forth in this MD&A, including management's assessment of the Corporation's future plans and operations, contains forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Corporation’s control, including the impact of general economic conditions, industry conditions, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, competition from other industry participants, the lack of availability of qualified personnel or management, stock market volatility and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be inaccurate and, as such, reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Wolfden’s actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits, if any, that Wolfden will derive there from. Wolfden disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by applicable law.

Exploration and Field Work

Exploration work during the fourth quarter of 2020 was focused primarily on Pickett Mountain with the completion of a 5,711 metre diamond drill program that was designed to test new targets and to further define the geological model with the goal to discover additional resources proximal to the Pickett Mountain resource. During the quarter, 2,251 of metres were completed in seven new drill holes to test the potential extension of the FWZ mineralization below the West Lens and other targets to the north and northeast. See the Tables 1 to 3 for details of the drilling during the period. The results of the drill program are positive.

Potential of the Footwall Lens (FWZ)

The FWZ appears to be hosted or associated with a polymictic debris flow/carbonate-enriched interval that occurs some 150 to 200 metres below the West and East massive sulphide lenses. Alteration varies from weak to intense chlorite and sericite and also includes variable amounts of sulphide stringer mineralization. The footwall lens remains largely untested as most of the drilling to date was not deep enough. To date 22 of 24 holes have intersected stringer to massive sulphide mineralization within a 1,000 by 700 metre initial target area. This suggests that the FWZ lens could potentially add significant resources to the overall project if expansion drilling for this zone continues to yield positive results.

Assay results related to the fourth quarter FWZ drill holes (received in 2021) continued to improve continuity and character, delivered better than expected silver values and overall exceptional grades. Significant silverenriched FWZ drill results included 172% ZnEq over 0.3 m in hole G-056ext (MS), 52.9% ZnEq over 0.75 m in hole PM20-07 (MS), 7.4% ZnEq over 19.2 m in hole PM20-13 (stringer SMS), 9.8% ZnEq over 1.9 m in hole G-040X (stringer), 4.2% ZnEq over 12.2 m in hole PM20-15, 6.1% ZnEq and 6.4% ZnEq over 3.4 m and 2.6 m, respectively, in hole PM20-16 and 5.0% ZnEq over 13.8 m in hole PM20-17.

New Stringer Zone Discovery

In addition to the FWZ sulphide zone, stringer-type mineralization was intersected in holes situated 150-200 metres north of the West Lens, and south of the FWZ with intercepts including 17.14% ZnEq over 8.8 m (true width unknown). This type of zinc-rich, quartz-porphyry-hosted massive sulphide stringer zone mineralization was discovered in the final two drill holes of the fall program. The zone remains open and will be a top priority, along with the FWZ, in the next drill program that is already underway.

Pickett Mountain Preliminary Economic Assessment

On November 2, 2020 the Corporation filed on SEDAR an independent technical report entitled "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report, Preliminary Economic Assessment Pickett Mountain Project, Penobscot County, Maine, USA” with an effective date of September 14, 2020 . Highlights of the economic study were previously announced by the Corporation in a news release dated September 14, 2020. Much of the work in this PEA was previously used and further refined from the rezoning petition that was filed in January 2020.

Highlights of the PEA Base Case Financial Model are as follows:

  • 37% After-tax IRR

  • US$ 198 million After-tax NPV8% to Wolfden

  • US$ 147 million initial capital expenditure including a 20% contingency and closure costs

  • 2.4 year Payback

  • 0.38 $/lb Zinc AISC

The PEA financial model used consensus metal prices assumptions of $1.15/lb Zinc, $1.00/lb Lead, $3.00/lb Copper, $18.00/oz Silver and $1,500/oz Gold. Full details of the Preliminary Economic Assessment in the form of a technical report for the purposes of NI 43-101 will be filed on SEDAR within the next 45 days. All financial figures are in US dollars.

Mineral Resources used in the PEA Mine Plan

The mineral resource used in the PEA includes indicated and inferred resources and is a restatement of the January 7[th] , 2019 mineral resource statement using a 7% cutoff grade (or an NSR value of $139/t) rather than the previous 9% cutoff grade ($178/t NSR). The same methodology used in the 2019 estimate was applied to the updated estimate where the metal prices were not updated (to those used in the PEA financial model) and no additional information was either included or excluded. Infill drill results since the 2019 resource estimate are expected to upgrade the mineral resource and could potentially lead to an increase.

The mineral resources were estimated using the metal prices of US$1.20/lb Zn, $2.50/lb Cu, $1.00/lb Pb, $16.00/oz Ag, and $1,200/oz/Au, using a 7% cutoff grade that equates to an NSR cut-off of $139/tonne at the same metal prices. An average recovery of 75% for all metals was assumed. A 10% mining dilution at zero grade was only added to the financial model which also used different metal prices.

Work continued on the re-zoning petition with the Maine Land Use Planning Commission (LUPC) in order to re-zone a 528-acre parcel on its wholly owned 6,800 acre Pickett Mountain land holding in Northern Maine, from a General Management (M-GN) designation to Planned Development (P-DP). The area is located approximately 10 miles northeast of Patten, Maine, just North of State Highway 11 in an unpopulated area.

The Corporation and its consultants have been working diligently and transparently with both the LUPC and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in developing a well-planned conceptual underground mining operation for Pickett Mountain. The resulting preliminary designs, in the re-zoning petition, addresses all of the legislative requirements and pending approvals for re-zoning, the Corporation will complete additional required detailed technical studies, including environmental baseline studies, analysis and engineered designs for each area of the project. In preparation, study designs for these baseline studies have been initiated and will be reviewed and modified as required by the State regulators.

Based on the January 7, 2019 mineral resource and the potential to discover additional resources, the petition envisioned an 8 to 15 year mine life and a work force of >60 persons, pending continued successful exploration and the discovery of additional resources on the property. Estimated economic benefits to the surrounding communities, counties and State of Maine were $164.5 M USD, $230.6 M USD, and $413.3M USD respectively over the estimated life of project. A link to the petition submission is located on the Corporations website. Timing and potential approval of the petition will be dependent on many factors including a public meeting to be called by the LUPC Commission that is expected early Q1 2021. The effect of COVID-19 on the timing of this process has caused some delay in this process and may continue to do so.

Non-Dilutive Funding Agreement

On January 22, 2020, the Corporation secured up to US$4.5 million in non-dilutive funding for its exploration projects by selling-forward timber from its wholly owned Pickett Mountain Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au Project in Maine, USA.

Under the terms of a 5-year stumpage agreement with a Maine timber company, the Corporation received US$3 million upon closing and is entitled to receive an additional US$1.5 million between the 4th and 5th anniversary of the agreement. Altius receives 20% of all timber sales as per the Royalty Agreement with Altius (US$0.6 million transferred in January 2020). The timber company has the right to harvest US$5 million of timber from the property over 5 years. In addition, the timber company also granted Wolfden an option to earn a 100% interest (less an NSR) in the mineral rights of the property that adjoins Pickett Mountain, as well as long-term road access rights for the current forest road used to reach the Pickett Mountain deposit from the state highway #11.

Mineral Property Acquisitions and Agreements

Maine, U.S.A.

Pickett Mountain Property

On November 16, 2017, the Corporation acquired a 100% interest in the Pickett Mountain Property (the “Property”), located in Penobscot County, northern Maine, U.S.A for a cash purchase price of $11,292,055 (US$8.5 million) (the “Acquisition”).

To fund the acquisition of the Property, the Corporation entered into a Royalty Agreement that granted a 1.35% gross sales royalty on the Property to Altius Resources Inc. (“Altius”), a wholly owned subsidiary of

Page 7

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [137 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

Altius Minerals Corporation, for cash consideration of $7,663,800 (US$6,000,000) and completed a nonbrokered private placement (the "Offering") of 20,200,000 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.25 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $5,050,000, with Altius subscribing for 14,200,000 Subscription Receipts. The subscription receipts were converted into 14,200,000 common shares of the Corporation.

Pursuant to the Royalty Agreement, Altius has the option to purchase an additional 0.50% gross sales royalty at any time before the first anniversary of commercial production for US$7,500,000. In addition, the Corporation granted Altius certain rights to convert the Pickett Mountain Royalty to equity under certain terms, or to exchange the royalty for a similar royalty on the Corporation's Orvan Brook property. Furthermore, the Corporation agreed to use its best efforts to sell or transfer the timber from the project for gross proceeds of US$5,000,000 or such other amount as agreed to by Wolfden and Altius, acting reasonably (the "Timber Proceeds"). Wolfden is required to pay Altius 20% of the Timber Proceeds. These terms as shown were amended from the original agreement on October 7, 2020.

On January 22, 2020, the Corporation secured up to US$4.5 million in non-dilutive funding by selling-forward $5 million worth of timber from its Pickett Mountain Property. Under the terms of the agreement the Corporation received US$3 million and is entitled to receive an additional US$1.5 million between the 4th and 5th anniversary of the agreement. The timber company has the right to harvest US$5 million of timber from the property over 5 years. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Corporation recorded net timber sales proceeds of $3,140,880 (US$ 2,400,000), that are net of 20% (US$600,000) that was passed onto to Altius as per the Royalty Agreement (2019 - $252,326). The entire amount of the proceeds was recognized as no further performance obligation is required by the Corporation. These funds are not being placed in escrow and have been included in the working capital of the Corporation.

Pursuant to the Royalty Agreement, Altius has a conversion right and exchange right. The Call Right, which related to Altius’s call option on the Timber Rights, was eliminated in the October 7, 2020 amendment of the Royalty Agreement as a direct result of the Corporations January 22, 2020 $4.5 M timber sale agreement which by effect, eliminated the possibility for any potential call option on those Timber Rights. Each or the other two rights are valid and are summarized below.

Conversion Right

At any time after November 14, 2023, and, if the Timber Rights have not been transferred prior to November 14, 2018, at any time after November 14, 2018, Altius will have the right to convert the Pickett Mountain Royalty, in accordance with the terms of the Royalty Agreement, to cash or Common Shares, or a combination thereof (the "Conversion Right"). Upon the exercise of the Conversion Right, the Common Share consideration to be received by Altius will be equal to the lesser of: (a) the number of Common Shares

that is equal in Royalty Value; and (b) the number of Common Shares that does not exceed 19.99% of all outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis. The remaining balance of the Royalty Value is to be paid to Altius in cash. Under the Royalty Agreement, "Royalty Value" means an amount equal to the aggregate of: (i) all amounts paid by Altius to Wolfden (including the purchase price consideration paid by Altius) in respect of the Pickett Mountain Royalty, minus (ii) all Escrowed Proceeds received by Altius, minus (iii) all other payments received by Altius in respect of the Pickett Mountain Royalty. The Common Share conversion price is the greater of: (i) $0.05 per Common Share; and (ii) the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSXV (or any other principal exchange on which the Common Shares are trading) for the twenty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the exercise of the Conversion Right. Upon the exercise of the Conversion Right and satisfaction of the payment thereof by Wolfden, any remaining Escrowed Proceeds will be released to Wolfden.

Exchange Right

Under the Royalty Agreement, Altius has the right to exchange the Pickett Mountain Royalty to a gross sales royalty in respect of the Orvan Brook property, which will be calculated and payable on the same terms as the terms of the Pickett Mountain Royalty in effect on the date of exchange, mutatis mutandis .

During the period ending June 30, 2019, Altius and Wolfden agreed to an amendment to their Offering and Subscription Agreements, dated November 14, 2017 whereby during any period when the common shares of Wolfden are trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture Exchange at a volume-weighted average

Page 8

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [137 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

trading price of not less than $0.60 per common share for at least 20 consecutive trading days, it will, upon written request by Wolfden during such period, exercise its warrants. Altius currently holds 7,000,000 Wolfden common share purchase warrants priced at $0.35 per share with a termination date of November 15, 2022.

Timber Agreements

On January 22, 2020, the Corporation secured up to US$4.5 million in non-dilutive funding for its exploration projects by selling-forward timber from its wholly owned Pickett Mountain Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au Project in Maine, USA. Under the terms of a 5 year stumpage agreement with a privately owned Maine timber company, the Corporation received US$3 million upon closing and is entitled to receive an additional US$1.5 million between the 4th and 5th anniversary of the agreement. The timber company has the right to harvest US$5 million of timber from the property over 5 years. In addition, the timber company also granted Wolfden an option to earn a 100% interest (less an NSR) in the mineral rights of the property that adjoins Pickett Mountain as well as long-term road access rights for the current forest road used to reach the Pickett Mountain deposit from the state highway #11. As part of the Altius Royalty agreement on Pickett Mt., dated November 2017 and as amended on October 7, 2020, Altius is entitled to 20% of the gross timber sales and therefore only 80% of the timber proceeds are reported as revenues by the Corporation.

Other properties, Maine USA

On April 6, 2019, the Corporation's U.S. subsidiary entered into a mineral rights earn-in agreement on a property located in Maine, U.S.A. The agreement called for a first- and second-year payment of $25,000 USD, both of which have been paid.

On November 30, 2020, the Corporation’s U.S. subsidiary entered into a mineral rights earn-in agreement on a property in Maine referred to as the Big Silver Project. The agreement called for a first-year payment of $50,000 which has been paid. The Corporation is assessing the project and compiling the historical data so that it can be in a position to drill some confirmation holes in H2 2021.

New Brunswick, Canada

Tetagouche Property

On January 6, 2014, the Corporation closed a definitive purchase agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire a large strategic land package (the "Property") situated in the Bathurst Mining Camp and surrounding area in northeastern New Brunswick.

Wolfden acquired the Property from 8100896 Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GeoVenCap Inc. (the "Vendor"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Corporation purchased all of the Vendor's right, title and interest to and in the Property for cash consideration of $125,000 and 571,428 common shares of Corporation (the "Consideration Shares") having a value of $100,000.

On August 2, 2016, the Corporation entered into a definitive option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with 2520885 Ontario Inc. and Galway Metals Inc. (collectively the “Optioner”), whereby Optioner agreed to acquire a 100% undivided interest in Wolfden’s Clarence Stream property (the “Property”), located in southwestern New Brunswick.

In order to earn a 100% interest in the Property, the Optioner will make cash payments to Wolfden totaling $3,250,000 over a 3 year period (the “Option Period”). In addition, the Optioner will grant Wolfden a 1% Net Smelter Return Royalty (the “NSR”) from any minerals produced on the Property; the Optioner can purchase

Page 9

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [137 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

the NSR from Wolfden at any time for the sum of $2,000,000. The Optioner has made all payments as of August 2019 in order to earn a 100% interest in the Property less the 1% NSR held by Wolfden.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, the Optioner will make scheduled cash payments to Wolfden comprising $750,000 on signing of the Option Agreement (the “Effective Date”) (payment received), $750,000 on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date (payment received and included in "Gain on disposal of mineral properties" in 2017), $1,000,000 on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date (payment received and included in "Gain on disposal of mineral properties' in 2018) and $750,000 on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Date. On July 9, 2019, the Corporation received $750,000 from Galway Metals Inc. as the final payment in relation to their Earn-in Option for completing a 100% interest in the Clarence Stream property (payment received and included in "Gain on disposal of mineral properties" in 2019). Wolfden retains a 1% NSR subject to buy back conditions held by Galway.

During the Option Period, the Optioner was solely responsible for carrying out and administering exploration, development and mining work on the Property and obtaining all regulatory and third party consents, approvals and authorizations to carry out such work.

Brunswick No. 6 West Property

On April 29, 2015, the Corporation acquired, by claim staking, the Brunswick No. 6 West property (the “Property"). The wholly owned Property is located southwest of the City of Bathurst, in the heart of the Bathurst Mining Camp.

Manitoba, Canada

Rice Island Property

On September 15, 2015, the Corporation acquired a 100% interest in the Rice Island nickel-copper deposit situated on the Rice Island property (the "Property") through claim staking. The Property is located in westcentral Manitoba at Wekusko Lake, just east of the Snow Lake concentrator complex owned by Hudbay Minerals Inc.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, a Notice of Dispute (the "Notice") was filed with the Province of Manitoba with respect to the Rice Island, Manitoba claims. Specifically, the Notice states that an individual (the "Disputant") has taken the position that one of the claims recorded in favour of Wolfden is invalid due to the existence of the Disputant's claims on the land prior to Wolfden's staking of the claim. Wolfden has responded to the Notice and is confident that it has clear and legal title to the subject claim as confirmed by the issuing of the recording certificate by the Manitoba Mining Recorder. This matter was brought to a resolution in conjunction with the signing of the Rice Island Tie-On Property ("RITOP") agreement described below.

On September 21, 2016, the Corporation entered into an option agreement to expand the Rice Island property by earning a 100% interest in the Rice Island Tie-On Property, located adjacent to Wolfden's existing Rice Island property. Under terms of the option agreement with the Vendor, to earn a 100% interest in the RITOP, the Corporation must make cash payments totaling $250,000 and issue 500,000 common shares of Wolfden annually over a five year period, on or before the anniversary date of the signing of the agreement. A $25,000 cash payment and the issuance of 100,000 common shares was completed on signing. In addition, the Corporation must incur $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the same five year period including $100,000 in the first year. As at December 31, 2019, the exploration commitments have been completed.

Upon earning a 100% interest in the RITOP, the Vendor retains a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty on the RITOP as well as on the Rice Island property; of which, Wolfden can purchase 1.5% of the Net Smelter Royalty for the sum of $1,500,000 (0.5% increments at $500,000 per each increment) for each of the properties. Wolfden also retains the right of first refusal on the remaining 1.0% Net Smelter Royalty held by the Vendor for each of the RITOP and Rice Island property.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

In the application of the Corporation’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Page 13

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

Significant estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates 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. The financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, and the revision affects both current and future periods. Significant estimates include:

  • i. the inputs used in accounting for share purchase option expense in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss;

  • ii. the provision for income taxes which is included in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss and composition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities included in the statement of financial position which have not yet been confirmed by the taxation authorities, and

  • iii. the estimated useful lives of equipment and leaseholds which are included in the statement of financial position and the related depreciation included in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of all IFRS and interpretations effective as at December 31, 2020.

  • IFRS 3

On October 22, 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combinations ("IFRS3"), that seek to clarify whether a transaction is to be accounted for as an asset acquisition or a business acquisition. The amendments apply to businesses acquired in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The amendments include an election to use a concentration test. This is a simplified assessment that results in an asset acquisition if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If a preparer chooses not to apply the concentration test, or the test is failed, then the assessment focuses on the existence of a substantive process.

  • IAS 1

The IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, to clarify one of the requirements under the standard for classifying a liability as non-current in nature, specifically the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendment includes:

  • Specifying that an entity’s right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period;

  • Clarifying that classification is unaffected by management’s intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement;

  • Clarifying how lending conditions affect classification; and

  • Clarifying requirements for classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by issuing its own equity

Of the standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, none of them are expected to have any significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements in the near future.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, investments, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short term to maturity, unless otherwise noted.

Risk Factors

An investment in the Corporation involves a number of risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this report in evaluating the Corporation and its business before making any investment decision in regard to the common shares of the Corporation. The Corporations’ business, operating and financial condition could be harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are not the only ones facing the Corporation. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair business operations.

Exploration and Mining Risks

The Corporation is engaged in mineral exploration and development activities. Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The long-term profitability of our operations will be in part directly related to the cost and success of our exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors beyond our control.

Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Operations in which the Corporation has a direct or indirect interest will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of mineral resources, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property, and possible environmental damage.

Hazards such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions such as formation pressures, fire, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explorations, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable machinery, equipment or labour are involved in mineral exploration, development and operation. We may become subject to liability for pollution, cave-ins or hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material, adverse effect on our financial position.

The Corporation relies upon consultants and others for exploration and development expertise. Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. The economics of developing mineral properties is affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations in the grade of ore mined, fluctuations in metal markets, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.

Financing Risks

The Corporation is limited in financial resources, and as a mineral exploration company has no source of operating cash flow. The Corporation has no assurance that additional funding will be available to us for further exploration and development of our projects or to fulfill our obligations under any applicable agreements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future, or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. Failure to obtain additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of our projects with the possible loss of such properties.

Page 15

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [137 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

Regulatory Requirements

Even if our mineral properties are proven to host economic reserves of mineral resources, factors such as governmental expropriation or regulation may prevent or restrict mining of any such deposits or repatriation of profits. The Corporation may acquire other properties in other jurisdictions or countries. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the control of the Corporation and may adversely affect our business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, and expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.

Uninsurable Risks

In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, certain risks, and in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and the Corporation may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Corporation.

No Assurance of Titles

It is possible that any of our properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Permits and Licenses

The operations of the Corporation may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that such licenses and permits as may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at our projects will be granted.

Competition

The mineral industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. We compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than the Corporation for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.

In addition, there is no assurance that a ready market will exist for the sale of commercial quantities of ore. Factors beyond the control of the Corporation may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Corporation not receiving an adequate return on invested capital or losing our investment capital.

Environmental Regulations

Our operations may be subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non- compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect our operations.

==> picture [137 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

Stage of Development

The Corporation is in the business of exploring for, with the ultimate goal of producing, mineral resources from our mineral exploration properties. None of our properties have commenced commercial production and we have no history of earnings or cash flow from our operations. As a result of the foregoing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop any of our properties profitably or that our activities will generate positive cash flow. We are unlikely to enjoy earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. A prospective investor in the Corporation must be prepared to rely solely upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of our management in all aspects of the development and implementation of our business activities.

Markets for Securities

There can be no assurance that an active trading market in our securities will be established and sustained. The market price for our securities could be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors such as commodity prices, government regulation, interest rates, share price movements of our peer companies and competitors, as well as overall market movements, may have a significant impact on the market price of the securities of the Corporation. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, particularly in the mining sector, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.

Reliance on Key Individuals

Our success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. It is expected that these individuals will be a significant factor in our growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

Geopolitical Risks

The Corporation may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on future exploitation and production, price controls, export controls, currency availability, income taxes, delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary permits, opposition to mining from environmental and other non-governmental organizations, expropriation of property, ownership of assets, environmental legislation, labour relations, limitations on mineral exports, increased financing costs, and site safety. In addition, legislative enactments may be delayed or announced without being enacted and future political action that may adversely affect the Corporation cannot be predicted. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political attitudes that may result, among other things, in significant changes to mining laws or any other national legal body of regulations or policies are beyond the control of the Corporation and may adversely affect its business. The possibility that future governments may adopt substantially different policies, which might extend to the expropriation of assets, cannot be ruled out.

Health Epidemics and Outbreaks of Communicable Diseases

Wolfden's business could be adversely impacted by the effects of the novel coronavirus or other health epidemics and/or outbreaks of communicable diseases, which could significantly disrupt the Corporation's exploration and development activities and may have a material adverse effect on Corporation's business and financial condition. The World Health Organization declared a global pandemic on March 2020 related to COVID-19. Global travel and workplace restrictions have been implemented as a result. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Corporation's business, including the Corporation's operations and the market for the Corporation's securities, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including the duration, severity and scope of the coronavirus outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the outbreak. In particular, the continued or perceived spread of the coronavirus globally could materially and adversely impact the Corporation's business including, without limitation, employee health, workforce productivity, increased insurance premiums, limitations on travel, the availability of industry experts and personnel, stoppage or suspension of its operations in Maine and Canada including restrictions to its drilling, development and exploration programs and/or the timing to process drill and other metallurgical testing and other factors that will depend on future developments beyond the Corporation's control, which may have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the actual and threatened spread of COVID-19 globally could

Page 17

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [137 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

also have a material adverse effect on the regional economies in which the Corporation operates, could continue to negatively impact stock markets, including the trading price of the Wolfden Common Shares, could adversely impact the Corporation's ability to raise capital, could cause continued interest rate volatility and movements that could make obtaining financing more challenging or more expensive, could adversely affect global economies and financial markets resulting in an economic downturn that could have an adverse effect on the demand for base and precious metals and Wolfden's future prospects and could result in any operations affected by COVID-19 becoming subject to quarantine. Any of these developments, and others, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business and results of operations. There can also be no assurance that the Wolfden's personnel will not be impacted by these pandemic diseases and ultimately see all or a portion of its operations suspended, workforce productivity reduced or incur increased medical costs and/or insurance premiums as a result of these health risks.

Financial Instruments and Related Risks

The Corporation's operations include the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. The Corporation examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of occurrence. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

Credit risk

Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on its obligations under the contract. This includes any cash amounts owed to the Corporation by those counterparties, less any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Corporation where a legal right of offset exists and also includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are recorded in the financial statements.

  • Investments

In order to manage credit and liquidity risk the Corporation invests only in highly rated investment grade instruments that have maturities of one year or less and are cashable at any time. Limits are also established based on the type of investment, the counterparty and the credit rate.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure.

A ccounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within the current operating period.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The risk that the Corporation will realize a significant loss as a result of a decline in the fair market value is limited as the Corporation holds all of its funds in cash and guaranteed investment certificates.

Currency risk

The Corporation is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The functional and reporting currency of the Corporation is the Canadian dollar; however, it has operations located in the United States, and as such is subject to fluctuations in that currency. Changes in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar could have an effect on the Corporation's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Corporation has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.

Management of Capital Risk

The Corporation manages its common shares, stock options and warrants as capital, that as at December 31, 2020 totaled $ 34,227,394 (2019 - $33,846,189). The Corporation's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Corporation's ability to continue as a going- concern in order to pursue the exploration of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.

The Corporation manages the 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 the capital structure, the Corporation may attempt to issue new shares and, acquire or dispose of assets.

In order to maximize ongoing exploration efforts, the Corporation does not pay out dividends. The Corporation's investment policy is to invest its short-term excess cash in highly liquid short-term interestbearing investments with short-term maturities, selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.

COVID 19

The Corporation has been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak since March 2020 and the potential impact at all of its operations and has put measures in place to ensure the wellness of all of its employees and surrounding communities where the Corporation works while continuing to operate. Field work programs and the field work personnel were adjusted in order to minimize the potential impact at all of its operations. This includes measures it has put in place to ensure the wellness of all of its employees and surrounding communities where the Corporation works while continuing to operate. Fieldwork programs continued with an emphasis on using local labor and management while all corporate personnel travel has been restricted to absolute minimum requirements and employees have been encouraged to work remotely. With respect to our operations we have implemented the typical control measures for dealing with the pandemic. These include testing and self-screening for symptoms and travel history with possible COVID19 exposure of any employees, visitors and contractors (site personnel) prior to any travel to or from a site and isolation, where necessary, from the general site population. These cautions and precautions continue to rely on voluntary information, compliance and testing for the virus, of those working directly or indirectly for the Corporation. We expect that procedures and protocols will continue to evolve according to the World Health Organization and Center for Disease Control guidelines as the vaccine rolls out and the variants of the virus are assessed in each region of our operations.

Subsequent Events

On January 27, 2021 the Corporation announced that it has completed a non-brokered private placement of 6,250,000 common shares of the Corporation ("Common Shares") at a price of $0.32 per Common Share with Altius Minerals Corporation (“Altius”) and Kinross Gold Corporation (“Kinross”) for gross proceeds of $2 million. Altius now holds approximately 12.6% and Kinross holds approximately 11.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation. The majority of the proceeds from this offering will be used to continue exploration at the Corporation’s 100%-owned Pickett Mountain high-grade polymetallic deposit and also at its recently optioned Big Silver project, both located in Maine, USA. As part of the terms of the subscription agreement, the Corporation will continue to collaborate with and gain support from its strategic shareholders on technical programs related to the exploration and development of the projects.

On February 5, 2021, the Corporation announced that it has granted a total of 1,750,000 options to purchase common shares of the Corporation to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants pursuant to the Corporation's Share Incentive Plan. The options have an exercise price of $0.32 per common share and expire on February 4, 2026. The grant related in part to the Corporation’s annual review of compensation and noted that the last meaningful grant of options was in 2018.

On February 18, 2021, the Corporation announced that it has been awarded a $230,000 grant from the Manitoba Mineral Development Fund to support a 2,300 metre diamond drill program designed to expand its wholly owned Rice Island strategic-metal nickel-copper-cobalt deposit. The deposit is well located near the town of Snow Lake and its existing infrastructure that includes power, an experienced mining work force and other operating mineral processing facilities.

On February 22, 2021, the Corporation announced additional positive drill results from its wholly owned Pickett Mountain Property in Northeastern Maine. Results include all assays for the final six holes that targeted the Footwall Zone (FWZ) that was discovered approximately150-200 metres north of the Pickett Mt. deposit. This massive to semi massive sulphide to stringer sulphide lens continues to deliver better than expected silver values. The results to date exhibit continuity and exceptional grades that suggest the FWZ lens could potentially add significant resources to the overall project if the next round of drilling on the FWZ yields positive results.

On February 24, 2021, the Corporation announced the completion of a non-brokered private placement of 1,550,000 common shares of the Corporation that are "flow-through shares" within the meaning in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Flow-Through Shares") at a price of $0.40 per Flow-Through Share for gross proceeds of $620,000. The securities issued under this offering are by way of private placement in the provinces of Ontario and British Columbia, pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. In addition, the securities are subject to a four-month hold period which will expire on June 24, 2021. The gross proceeds from this offering will be used for exploration on the Corporation's nickel, copper, cobalt projects in Manitoba and its silver-rich polymetallic projects in New Brunswick, Canada.

On March 30, 2021, the Corporation announced the completion of a non-brokered private placement financing of 12,725,000 units at a price of $0.32 per unit for gross proceeds of $4.07 million. Each unit is comprised one common share of the Corporation ("Common Shares") and one half of a share purchase warrant. Each whole share purchase warrant can be converted in one common share of the Corporation at a price of $0.45 for two years, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements.
