MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Nature of Business and Structure of the Company

The Company's business focuses on the generation of shareholder value through high growth energy projects - primarily through identifying, acquiring, and exploring oil and gas assets

The Company operates in the Republic of Guyana ("Guyana"), the Republic of South Africa ("South Africa") and the Republic of Namibia ("Namibia").

The common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") under the symbol "EOG", and on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange (the "AIM") under the symbol "ECO".

Overview of Operations

Oil and Gas exploration

Eco (Atlantic) Guyana Inc. ("Eco Guyana"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, currently holds a 15% interest in the Orinduik Block offshore Guyana governed by a petroleum agreement between the Company, the Government of Guyana, Tullow Guyana B.V. and TOQAP Guyana B.V. (the "Orinduik License").

Effective June 28, 2021 and following a second investment in January 2022, the Company became the indirect owner of an interest in the Canje Block offshore Guyana (the "Canje Block") through the acquisition of a 7.35% interest (and up to 11.4% on a fully diluted basis) in JHI Associates Inc., a private company incorporated in Ontario and headquartered in Toronto, Canada. The Canje Block is operated by ExxonMobil and is held by Working Interest ("WI") partners Esso Exploration & Production Guyana Limited (35%), Total Energies E&P Guyana B.V. (35%), JHI Associates (BVI) Inc. (17.5%) and Mid-Atlantic Oil & Gas Inc. (12.5%).

The Company holds, through Azinam Limited and Azinam South Africa Limited, two wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, two offshore petroleum licenses in South Africa being petroleum exploration license number 2B (the "Block 2B"), petroleum exploration license number 3B/4B (the "Block 3B/4B").

The Company also holds four licenses in the Walvis Basin, Offshore Namibia ("Namibia Licenses"): (i) Petroleum Exploration License ("PEL") #097 (the "Cooper License") and (ii) PEL #099 (the "Guy License") (iii) PEL #098 (the "Sharon License") and (iv) PEL #100 (the "Tamar License"). The terms of the Namibia Licenses are governed by Petroleum Agreements (each, a "Namibia Petroleum Agreement" and collectively, the "Eco Namibia Petroleum Agreements") between the Company, its Namibia Licenses partners, and Namibia's Ministry of Mines and Energy (the "Ministry").

The Company is in the development stage and has not yet commenced principal producing operations other than acquiring and analyzing certain pertinent geological data in Guyana and Namibia and drilling two exploration wells in Guyana. The Company is currently engaged in the exploration and development of its properties, in addition to evaluating the Jethro and Joe oil discoveries, to determine the appropriate appraisal approach.

Renewable Energy development

During 2021, the Company's subsidiary, Eco (BVI) Oil and Gas Ltd, was renamed Solear Ltd., to source, acquire and develop an exclusive pipeline of potential high yield solar energy projects, with a geographic focus in southern Europe. An independent senior team was engaged in the review and analysis of several development projects with potentially promising returns to seek to generate shareholder value.

In February 2022, the Board of directors approved the sale of the Kozani project and resolved to discontinue the renewable energy operations.

The Company is awaiting receipt of the balance of consideration due from the acquiror in respect of this disposal, having received to date €120,000, and accordingly retains ownership of the project and maintains the assets. However, the acquiror has confirmed its commitment to completing the acquisition and the Company is considering a legal claim in the event that the consideration is not received in the coming months.
