Resources

For the Three Months Ended October 31, 2024

The following management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) has been prepared as of December 20, 2024 and should be read in conjunction with Bronco Gold Corp. condensed interim financial statements for the three months ended October 31, 2024 and comparative period ended October 31, 2023. The audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and all numbers are reported in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Throughout the report we refer to Bronco, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “its”. All these terms are used in respect of Bronco Resources Corp. Additional information on the Company can be found on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca and the Company’s website at www.broncoresources.com.

Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of important factors and assumptions is not exhaustive. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Events or circumstances could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those estimated or projected and expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements or the foregoing list of factors, whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable laws.

PROJECTS & EXPLORATION

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties located in Canada. To date, the Company has not earned significant revenues and is considered to be in the exploration stage. The Company’s current active properties include the Placer Mountain project in Princeton, British Columbia.

British Columbia

Placer Mountain Property

On October 15, 2020, Bronco entered into an assignment and assumption agreement with Canagold Resources Corp. (“Canagold”) pursuant to which Canagold has assigned (the “Assignment”) all of its rights, obligations, interests and assets with respect to a property option agreement dated December 20, 2018 and amended on June 3, 2019 (the “Option Agreement”) between Canagold, Universal Copper Ltd. (“Universal”) and Sydney Wilson (“Wilson”) to acquire a 75% interest (the “Option”) in certain mineral claims of Universal and Wilson (“Placer Mountain” or the “Property”).), subject to the Universal NSR and Wilson NSR (as defined herein).

The Property is located approximately 35km south of Princeton, British Columbia.

The Company exercised its rights under the Assignment and acquired an initial 75% interest. Thereafter, Bronco and Universal on August 9, 2021 entered into a 75% - 25% definitive joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”).

Pursuant to the terms of the JV Agreement, Universal’s interest has been diluted to 16% as at July 31, 2024 for non-contribution to the exploration programs.

Page 3 of 14


Bronco Gold Corp. Management's discussion & analysis – October 31, 2024

The Property is subject to a 1% NSR to Universal which can be purchased for $1,000,000 and a 2% NSR to Wilson which can be reduced to 1% for cash payment of $1,000,000.

Exploration and Outlook

On November 26, 2024 the Company commenced a 1500 meter drill program focusing on the Kodiak Zone where high-grade gold was first discovered in 2021. This is the first follow up program since the discovery.

Bronco has engaged Dorado Drilling headquartered out of Vernon, BC as our drilling contractor for this year's program. Dorado has extensive drilling experience in BC as well as the Yukon, NWT, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, Newfoundland and Ontario. With eleven diamond drills currently in operation and over eighty employees Dorado has the experience and the tools necessary to get job done safely and accurately.

Drilling will focus on testing the 1.5 kilometers gold-in-soil anomaly at the Kodiak Zone. The 2021 discovery drill program on the Kodiak Zone only tested 150 meters of the 1.5 kilometers long anomaly. The 2021 program returned robust results with significant gold mineralization in all holes including intervals of 3.0m of 39.20 g/t Au and 80.40 g/t Ag in KZ-21-05 and 1.4m of 46.51 g/t Au and 32.20 g/t Ag in KZ-21-02².

  1. This report contains information about adjacent properties on which Bronco does not have the right to explore or mine. Investors are cautioned that mineral deposits on adjacent properties are not indicative of mineral deposits on the Company's properties.
  2. The intervals reported in this report represent drill intercepts and insufficient data are available at this time to state the true thickness of the mineralized intervals.

Some 965 meters of drilling have been completed to date in 8 diamond drill holes (Figures 1 & 2). Core samples from the first 3 holes have been sent to SGS Canada Inc. and results will be provided when received and QAQC has been conducted.

Results of Operations

The Company has no operating revenues and relies on external financings to generate capital for its continued operations. As a result of its activities, the Company continues to incur annual net losses.

Financial Results for the three month ended October 31, 2024 and 2023

For the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company reported a $25,981 net loss and comprehensive loss or $0.00 basic and diluted loss per share compared to a $35,040 or $0.00 loss per share for the same comparative period ended October 31, 2023. The loss was attributed to general and administrative operating costs of $26,056 (2023 - $35,236) off-set by interest revenue of $75 (2023 - $196).

General and administration costs included:

For the Three Months Ended October 31

During the three months ended October 31, 2024 the Company saw an overall net decrease in expenditures of approximately $9,180 (26.1%) and other than the increase in website, shareholder communication and conferences as it related to the re-branding, name change and shareholders meeting expenses. The reduction costs in all other areas were the result of limited activity to reserve working capital as it looked to complete its recent financing and commence its drill program as outlined hereinabove subsequent to the quarter ended October 31, 2024.

Bronco Gold Corp. Management's discussion & analysis – October 31, 2024

For the three months ended October 31, 2024:

  • Cash flows used in operating activities decrease slightly from 2023 which was primarily attributed to the decrease in general and administrative costs as described herein above.
  • Cash flows used in investing activities remained minimal as a result of minimum exploration expenditures due to working capital shortage. As described hereinabove the Company recently completed the Financing and commenced drilling subsequent to October 31, 2024 on November 26, 2024.
  • Cash flows provided by financing activities include the Financing for net proceeds of $575,968 as described hereinabove.

Financing and December FT Financing

As described herein above the Company completed the Financing for aggregate proceeds of $601,000 and is currently looking to close the December FT Financing on or before December 31, 2024. The Financing will provide funds for initial drill program at the Company's Placer Property and provide working capital for general and administrative expenses and the December FT Financing will provide additional funds for the drill program at Placer.

The Company has not yet generated revenue to date and will not generate funds from operations for the foreseeable future as such the Company is primarily reliant upon the issuance of equity securities in order to fund operations. The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance of common shares and exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants. The Company will continue to have to raise funds for operations and, although it has been successful in doing so in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. The Company's policy is to invest its cash when applicable in highly liquid, short term, interest bearing investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of acquisition or for longer periods where such investment may be redeemable after 30 days. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company will require additional funding to further develop the Placer Mountain Property as well as provide continuing working capital.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its endeavors to complete the Offering. If such funds are not available or other sources of finance cannot be obtained, then the Company will be forced to further curtail its activities to a level for which funding is available and can be obtained.

Off balance-sheet arrangements

There are currently no off-balance sheet arrangements and no new information to report since the annual management's discussion and analysis.

Key Management Compensation

The Company's related parties include key management personnel and directors. Key management personnel include those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized in the year of the change, if the change affects that year only, or in the year of the change and future years, if the change affects both.

Information about critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities included in the preparation of these financial statements are discussed below.

Page 8 of 14


Bronco Gold Corp. Management's discussion & analysis – October 31, 2024

Critical Estimates

Valuation of Share-based Payments

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of share-based payments. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company's earnings and equity reserves.

Critical Judgments

Impairment of Exploration and Evaluation Assets

The application of the Company's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company. If, after exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount, the Company carries out an impairment test at the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating unit's level in the year the new information becomes available. The assessment of impairment indicators, impairment tests and recoverable value models have a degree of estimation and judgment which may differ in the future. Mining Exploration Tax Credits

The Company is entitled to refundable tax credits on qualified resource expenditures incurred in Canada. Management's judgment is applied in determining whether the resource expenditures are eligible for claiming such credits.

Going Concern

The assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures, meet its liabilities for the ensuing year, and to fund planned and contractual exploration programs, involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Recently Adopted and Future Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no accounting pronouncements with significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Financial instruments and other instruments

The Company is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:

  • Market Risk
  • Credit Risk
  • Liquidity Risk

General Objectives, Policies and Processes

In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company's objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

Page 9 of 14


Bronco Gold Corp. Management's discussion & analysis – October 31, 2024

There have been no substantive changes in the Company's exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous years unless otherwise stated in the note.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company's risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company's management. The effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets are reviewed periodically by the Board of Directors if and when there are any changes or updates required.

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of interest rate and commodity price risk. Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company has cash balances and non-interest-bearing debt. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in guaranteed investment certificates or interest-bearing accounts of major Canadian chartered banks. The Company regularly monitors compliance to its cash management policy.

As at October 31, 2024, the Company does not have any borrowings. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash held with chartered Canadian financial institutions. The Company considers this risk to be immaterial.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company's ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities may be subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market prices of the relevant commodities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and United States dollar and other foreign currencies will affect the Company's operations and financial results.

The Company does not hold significant monetary assets or liabilities in foreign currencies and therefore is not exposed to significant risks arising from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments which are potentially subject to credit risk for the Company consist primarily of cash and receivables. Cash is maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and may be redeemed upon demand and receivables are entered into with credit-worthy counterparties.

Page 10 of 14


Bronco Gold Corp. Management's discussion & analysis – October 31, 2024

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. Credit risk exposure is limited through maintaining cash with high-credit quality financial institutions and management considers this risk to be minimal for all cash assets based on changes that are reasonably possible at each reporting date.

Liquidity Risk

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 endeavour that it will have 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. However, circumstances may arise where the Company is unable to meet those goals. 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.

Typically, the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 90 days. To achieve this objective, the Company would prepare annual capital expenditure budgets, which are regularly monitored and updated as considered necessary. Further, when required the Company utilizes authorizations for expenditures on exploration projects to further manage expenditure. The Company monitors its risk of shortage of funds by monitoring the maturity dates of existing trade and other accounts payable and option payment commitments. The Company endeavours not to maintain any trade payables beyond a 30-day period to maturity. All trade and other payables are due within 30 days of October 31, 2024.

Determination of Fair Value

Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

The statements of financial position carrying amounts for cash, restricted cash, receivables, and trade and other payables approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Due to the use of subjective judgments and uncertainties in the determination of fair values these values should not be interpreted as being realizable in an immediate settlement of the financial instruments.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped in Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities which include cash and receivables;
  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within 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 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Capital Management

The Company monitors its common shares, warrants and stock options as capital. The Company 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 Company may attempt to issue new shares. Although the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past

through the issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will continue this method of financing due to the current difficult market conditions.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. Management reviews the capital structure on a regular basis to ensure that the above objectives are met. The Company's capital is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There have been no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended October 31 2024.

Risks and uncertainties

Mineral Exploration

The Company is in the mineral exploration and development business and as such, is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties that are not uncommon to other companies in the same business. The industry is capital intensive and is subject to fluctuations in market sentiment, metal prices, foreign exchange and interest rates. There is no certainty that properties which the Company has described as assets on its balance sheet will be realized at the amounts recorded. The only sources of future funds for further

exploration programs or, if such exploration programs are successful for the development of economic ore bodies and commencement of commercial production thereon, which are presently available to the Company are the sale of equity capital or the offering by the Company of an interest in its properties to be earned by another party carrying out further exploration or development. Although the Company has been successful in accessing the equity market during the past years, there is no assurance that such sources of financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

As the Company is in the exploration stage, the recoverability of the costs incurred to date on exploration properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties. The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance of common shares and exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants.

Employees

The Company has one employee. Majority of work is carried out through independent consultants and the Company requires that all professional consultants carry their own insurance to cover any potential liabilities as a result of their work on a project. In certain cases where consultants are unable to carry their own insurance the Company includes such individuals under its coverage.

Going Concern

The Company has not generated revenues from its operations to date. During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $25,981 (2023 - $35,040) and, as of that date, had a deficit of $34,340,675 (July 31, 2024 - $34,314,694). The Company currently has a working capital of $333,537 as at October 31, 2024 (July 31, 2024 - $216,042 deficiency).

The Company will continue to have to raise funds beyond its current working capital balance in order to continue the development of its exploration properties and general operations.

These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties, which cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

As the Company is in the exploration stage, the recoverability of the costs incurred to date on exploration properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties. The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance of common shares and exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. Such adjustments could be material.
