SCOPE OF MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This management discussion and analysis report ("MD&A") represents a complementary addition to the unaudited condensed interim financial statements of Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut" or the "Company") for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021 ("Q3 2022") by providing additional contextual and prospective information on the Company's financial position and operating performance for the same periods. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company's Q3 2022 financial statements and the audited annual report for the year ended August 31, 2021 ("Fiscal 2021"), which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

Azimut maintains rigorous financial discipline and a strong balance sheet and has 82.2 million shares issued and outstanding as at July 12, 2022.

The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol AZM and trades on the OTCQX® Best Market under AZMTF.
