3. Description of business

GPM is a Canadian based exploration and development company. Its principal mineral assets at the date of this MD&A are as follows:

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary DPG Resources Australia Pty Limited ("DPG Pty"), has entered into an Earn-In/Joint Venture Agreement with Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Limited ("Rio Tinto"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto Limited covering base metal exploration and development rights in relation to certain granted exploration tenements and tenement applications in McArthur Basin Mining District, Northern Territory, Australia (the "Walker Gossan project"). Rio Tinto and GPM have entered into a definitive Two Stage Earn-In/Joint Venture Agreement granting GPM an initial 51% interest under certain conditions.

The Company is a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") under the symbol "GPM".

Overall objective

The Company is a junior mineral exploration company with an experienced management team engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of properties for the mining of minerals. GPM is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain any economically recoverable mineral reserves. The success of the Company is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration and development of its properties, the selling prices of minerals at the time, if ever, that the Company commences production from its properties, government policies and regulations and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of such properties.

GPM has not discovered economically recoverable mineral reserves. While discovery of ore-bearing structures may result in substantial rewards, it should be noted that few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

3. Description of business continued

The Company may also seek to acquire additional mineral resource properties or companies holding such properties. The Company notes that mineral exploration in general is uncertain and the probability of finding economically recoverable mineral reserves on any one of its early-stage prospects is low. As a result, the Company believes it can reduce overall exploration risk by acquiring additional mineral properties. In conducting its search for additional mineral properties, the Company may consider acquiring properties that it considers prospective based on criteria such as the exploration history of the properties, their location, or a combination of these and other factors. Risk factors to be considered in connection with the Company's search for and acquisition of additional mineral properties include the significant expenses required to locate and establish economically recoverable mineral reserves, the fact that expenditures made by the Company may not result in discoveries of economically recoverable mineral reserves, environmental risks, risks associated with land title, the competition faced by the Company and the potential failure of the Company to generate adequate funding for any such acquisitions. See "Risk Factors" below.

4. Changes in accounting policies

Future changes in accounting policy not yet effective as of June 30, 2022.

At the date of the authorization of these consolidated financial statements, the following revised IFRS standards, which are applicable to GPM Metals Inc., were issued but not effective yet.

  1. Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12) - effective for year ends beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The amendments specify how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations and clarify that the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions where both an asset and a liability are recognized in a single transaction. Accordingly, deferred tax is required to be recognized on such transactions
  2. Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8) - effective for year ends beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The amendments introduce the definition of accounting estimates and include other amendments to IAS 8 to help entities distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes in accounting policies.
  3. Materiality of Accounting Policy Disclosure (Amendments to IAS 1) - effective for year ends beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of these standards on its consolidated financial statements.

5. Exploration highlights

The Company's exploration activities are at an early stage, and it has not yet been determined whether its properties contain an economic mineral reserve. There are no known deposits of minerals on any of the Company's mineral exploration properties, and any activities of the Company thereon will constitute exploratory searches for minerals. See "Risk Factors" below.
