MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

September 30, 2015

BACKGROUND

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides relevant information on the operations and financial results of Finore Mining Inc. (the “Company”) for the nine months period ended September 30, 2015. It should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for period ended September 30, 2015 and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related notes thereto. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s critical accounting estimates and significant accounting policies have remained substantially unchanged and are still applicable to the Company unless otherwise indicated. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise.

The risk factors identified in previous management’s discussion and analysis (the “MD&A”) have also remained substantially unchanged but the risk factor of future financings has assumed a greater importance to the Company in view of the current economic climate and stock market volatility. Management has assessed and will continue to address the implications of recent events in order to ensure that the Company can continue to achieve its long term objectives.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

September 30, 2015

On August 24, 2011, the Company entered into an option agreement with Nortec Minerals Corp (“Nortec”). The option agreement gave the Company the option to earn up to an 80% interest in Nortec’s Läntinen Koillismaa (“LK”) project, a palladium-platinum–gold–copper-nickel property, located in north central Finland. However, on September 10, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the option agreement (the “Nortec Option Amendment”), whereby Nortec has granted the Company the right to acquire 70% interest in the Läntinen Koillismaa Project by: a) issuing additional 27,000,000 common shares of the Company (issued); b) paying in full amount owed by the Company on account of the conduct of exploration work within 60 days from the date of the Nortec Option Amendment; and c) granting Nortec the right to nominate two persons for appointment or election to the Company’s board of director.

On February 19, 2013, the Company entered into a second amendment agreement (the “Second Amendment Agreement”) with Nortec, whereby Nortec and the Company agreed to such amendments that the Company has the sole and exclusive right and option to earn 100% interest in and to the Läntinen Koillismaa Project for, among other things, 4,100,000 common shares of the Company.

Effective May 14, 2014, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Läntinen Koillismaa Project from Nortec through the acquisition of Nortec Minerals OY (“NMO”), the subsidiary that holds title to the LK property. Finore has made the final payment to Nortec, comprised of 91,771 shares in Finore, pursuant to Second Amendment Agreement. These shares were issued on May 6, 2014. As at September 30, 2014 (December 31, 2014), Nortec holds a total of 8,614,492 common shares of the Company which equates to a 34 % (54%) interest.

The LK Property is located in north central Finland, 660km north of the capital Helsinki, 65km south of the Arctic Circle, and covers approximately 3750 hectares. The project is well serviced by power, water and roads affording all season access and development. The LK Project consists of the Kaukua, Lipeävaara, Murtolampi, Haukiaho and Haukiaho East Zones. Nortec carried out over 10,000 metres of diamond core drilling on the Kaukua Zone since 2007 and over 7,000 metres of historical diamond drilling was performed on the Haukiaho Zone since the 1960’s.

Results of Operations

Three Months Period ended September 30, 2015

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $18,506 compared to a net loss of $21,175 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The primary driver to this increase in operating costs due to a decline of professional fees in the amount of $6,330 and a foreign exchange loss of $4,505 compared to a foreign exchange gain of $12,165 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $16,670 compared to $30,758 for the same period ended September 30, 2014.

Other major cost components as listed below:

  • Consulting fees of $12,345 compared to $13,090 for the 3 month period ended September 30, 2014;

  • Rent of $nil compared to $3,94 for the 3 months ended September 30, 2014;

  • Office and general of $166 for 3 months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $(146) for the same period last year;

  • Transfer agent and filing fees of $4,159 for the 3 months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $6,080 for the same period in the prior year.

Due to the Company being in the exploration stage, management foresees further increases in the Company’s expenses during the coming year resulting from its exploration activities. These expenses are contingent upon the Company’s ability to fund these projects through private placements and other forms of financing. In the event that the Company does not receive the required funding, management will review all on-going expenditures and take appropriate actions to remedy the funding shortage.

On July 21, 2011, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent with Nortec Minerals Corp. (“Nortec”), whereby Nortec will grant the Company the right to acquire up to an undivided 80% interest in the Läntinen Koillismaa Project (the “Project”). The binding letter of intent was replaced and superseded by the option agreement with Nortec (the “Nortec Option Agreement”) dated August 24, 2011. The effective date of the Nortec Option Agreement is September 6, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), which is the date the CSE accepted the filing of the option agreement. On September 7, 2011, the Company issued 185,000 common shares at $4.50 per share for a total of $832,500 as finder fees in connection with the option.

On September 10, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the Nortec Option Agreement (the “Nortec Option Amendment”), whereby Nortec has granted the Company the right to acquire 70% interest in the Project by: a) issuing an additional 2,700,000 common shares of the Company (issued at a value of $3,240,000); b) paying in full amount owed by the Company on account of the conduct of exploration work within 60 days from the date of the Nortec Option Amendment (full amount not paid on time); and c) granting Nortec the right to nominate two persons for appointment or election to the Company’s board of directors. As the result, the remaining outstanding option obligations under the Nortec Option Agreement were not fulfilled.

On February 19, 2013, the Company entered into a second amendment agreement (the “Second Amendment Agreement”) with Nortec, whereby Nortec and the Company agreed to such amendments that the Company has the sole and exclusive right and option to earn 100% interest in and to the Project for, among other things, 4,100,000 common shares of the Company. On February 19, 2013, the Company issued 4,100,000 common shares valued at $1,025,000 to Nortec. As at December 31, 2013, Nortec holds a total of 8,322,721 common shares of the Company which equates to a 54% interest.

Effective May 6, 2014, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Läntinen Koillismaa Project from Nortec through the acquisition of Nortec Minerals OY (“NMO”), the subsidiary that holds title to the LK property. Finore has made the final payment to Nortec, comprised of 91,771 common shares in Finore, pursuant to Second

Amendment Agreement. As at September 30, 2015 Nortec holds a total of 8,614,492 common shares of the Company which equates to a 54% (34 % - December 31, 2014) interest.

The property is located in north central Finland, 660km north of the capital Helsinki, 65km south of the Arctic Circle, and covers approximately 3750 hectares. The project is well serviced by power, water and roads affording all season access and development. The LK Project consists of the Kaukua, Lipeävaara, Murtolampi, Haukiaho and Haukiaho East Zones. Nortec carried out over 10,000 metres of diamond core drilling on the Kaukua Zone since 2007 and over 7,000 metres of historical diamond drilling was performed on the Haukiaho Zone since the 1960’s. The Company has completed 10,775 metres of diamond core drilling. A total of 20,775 metres of drilling was completed on the property to-date.

Information to date shows that that the Properties have the potential to host several large - tonnage PGE+Au-Cu-Ni deposits amenable to low cost open pit mining methods.

Preliminary metallurgical test work on a blended representative composite of ore types concludes that conventional rougher flotation yielded substantial recoveries of over 80% PGE + Au, associated with recoveries of over 93% for Cu and 51% for Ni. The recoveries appear to be somewhat dependent on the host rock composition. Cleaning this concentrate, again using conventional flotation means, produced a product assaying 16% Cu + Ni and 60 grams/tonne PGE + Au. Although this is not yet confirmed, a concentrate of this grade should be attractive to nickel and PGM smelters, especially given the low value of 4% Magnesium Oxide (MgO). This also means that the initially planned PLATSOL™ process for higher recoveries of PGE metals may now not be required. This will help lower the processing costs, simplify the project and reduce the technical risk of the project as a whole.

Further metallurgical work being planned:

  1. Optimization work for cleaner concentrate, with the addition of various amounts of the relevant reagents.

  2. Tests and analysis to identify any other PGE associated metals like Rhodium and Iridium.

  3. Marketing studies for the sale ability of concentrate.

In comparison to other PGE + Au and Ni-Cu deposits, the concentrate from the LK Project has a much higher ratio of precious and base metals, producing a very high unit value per tonne of concentrate. This also favourably impacts infrastructure and transportation costs.

In September 2013, the Company completed an updated technical report containing the mineral resource estimate for the LK Project. The technical report is available on SEDAR under the Company's profile. The Technical Report, dated September 18, 2013 and entitled “A Technical Report on the Läntinen Koillismaa Project, Finland For Finore Mining Inc.”, was prepared by Marek Mroczek, P.Eng. and Sean Butler, P.Geo. of Mining Plus Canada Consulting Ltd. (“MP Consulting”), an accredited international mining consulting corporation.

Claim fees for the Läntinen Koillismaa Project have been paid in full for the year 2015 and the property is in good standing.

Highlights from the Technical Report:

Summary of Mineral Resource Estimates for LK Project at a cut-off grade of 0.1 g/t Palladium

Kaukua Deposit (Main Zone)

Category Tonnage Mt Pd g/t Pt g/t Au g/t Cu % Ni** %
Indicated 10.4 0.73 0.26 0.08 0.15 0.1
Inferred 13.2 0.63 0.22 0.06 0.13 0.1

Haukiaho Deposit (Melarame, Torkoaho and West Torkoaho zones)

Category Tonnage Mt Pd g/t Pt g/t Au g/t Cu % Ni **%
Inferred 23.2 0.31 0.12 0.10 0.21 0.14

**Ni is the total Nickel content

A sharp boundary at a cut-off of 0.1 g/t Palladium was interpreted as the waste contact. The high correlation for Platinum and Palladium means that both metals can be used for defining the geometry of mineralization for the Kaukua and Haukiaho deposits.

Both ALS Chemex, based in Outokumpu, Finland and Labtium Oy, based in Rovaniemi, Finland conducted the preparation and analytical work, as well as check sampling of drill core samples from the Phase V drill program. The samples are analysed for Pt, Pd and Au by lead fire assay (30g nominal charge) with an Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (“ICP- AES”) finish. A multi-element suite of 35 elements including Cu and Ni are analysed by aqua regia digestion with also an ICP-AES finish. Ore Grade analyses are carried out on any results for Cu and Ni that are over the upper detection limit. The Company used alternately Labtium and ALS Chemex for check sampling and quality assurance and quality control (“QA/QC”) purposes along with select analyses of Nickel rich zones to determine the sulphide nickel values with respect to the total Nickel values.

The Company’s QA/QC program includes the regular insertion of blanks, multiple certified assay standards and duplicate samples into the sample shipments. These QC samples are inserted every 10 samples within every assay batch. Regular monitoring of these QC samples is a critical part of the Finore’s QA/QC protocols.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed its operations to date through the issuance of common shares. The Company will continue to seek capital through the issuance of common shares and/or debt. The Company’s operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months period ended September 30, 2015 resulted in a net increase in cash of $13,619. As at September 30, 2015, the Company’s current assets include cash of $23,801, prepaid expenses of $7,930 and receivables of $4,381. The Company’s current liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $340,997. During the period ended September 30, 2015, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement. The private placement consisted of issuance of 9,270,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.03 per unit for gross proceeds of $278,100. Each unit being comprised of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at $0.08 per warrant share for the first two years after the date of issue, and at an exercise price of $0.10 per warrant share during the third year after the date of issue. The Company paid a commission comprised of 267,750 unit in connection with a portion of the private placement.

The Company will continue to require funds for future property acquisitions and exploration work as well as to meet its ongoing day-to-day operating requirements and will have to continue to rely on equity and debt financing. The Company’s capital resources are largely determined by the strength of the junior resource markets and by the status of the Company’s projects in relation to these markets, and its ability to compete for investor support of its projects. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will always be available to the Company in the amount required at any particular period or if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

To the best of management’s knowledge, there are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest risk, liquidity risk, and foreign exchange rate risk.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter party’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents balances. The Company manages its credit risk on bank deposits by holding deposits in high credit quality banking institutions in Canada. The Company does not have any asset-backed commercial paper included in cash. Management believes that the credit risk with respect to receivables is remote.

(c) 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 Company will realize a loss as a result of a decline in the fair value of the cash is limited because of its short-term investment nature.

(d) Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

The Company has certain consulting fees and exploration and evaluation assets that are denominated in US dollars, European Euro, Pounds Sterling, Swedish Krona, Swiss Franc and other operating expenses that are mainly in Canadian dollars. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises primarily on fluctuations between the Canadian dollars, the US dollar, European Euro, Pounds Sterling, Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc. The exposure to foreign exchange rate risk is considered low. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations.

At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s US dollars, Pounds Sterling, and European Euros denominated monetary assets and liabilities are as follows:

(e) 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 approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient capital to meet liabilities when due after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents that might be raised from equity financings.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties. These activities involve a high degree of risk which, even with a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation, may not be overcome. Consequently, no assurance can be given that commercial quantities of minerals will be successfully found or produced.

The Company has no history of profitable operations and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many common risks to new and developing enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a positive return on shareholders’ investment.

The Company has no source of operating cash flow and no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects when required. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its properties.

The Company’s property interests are located in remote, undeveloped areas and the availability of infrastructure such as surface access, skilled labour, fuel and power at an economic cost, cannot be assured. These are integral requirements for exploration, development and production facilities on mineral properties. Power may need to be generated on site.

The mineral industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes with many other mineral exploration companies who have greater financial resources and technical capacity.

The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management’s services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the Company.
