IMPACT OF COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally. The international response to the spread of COVID- 19 has led to significant restrictions on travel; temporary business closures; quarantines; global stock market and financial market volatility; a general reduction in consumer activity; operating, supply chain and project development delays and disruptions; and declining trade and market sentiment. All of these factors have and could further affect commodity prices, interest rates, credit ratings and credit risk.

Current global financial and economic conditions can be unpredictable. Many industries are impacted by these market conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic. Some key impacts of the current financial market turmoil arising from the COVID-19 pandemic include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations and high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange, novel fiscal policy and monetary policy and monetary markets and a lack of market liquidity. Additionally, global economic conditions arising from the COVID-19 virus may cause a long-term decrease in asset values. If such global volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company's operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted. The overall severity and duration of

Management's Discussion & Analysis

(For the Three and Six month ended April 30, 2021 and 2020)

COVID-19-related adverse impacts on the Company's business will depend on future developments, which cannot currently be predicted, including directives of the federal and provincial governments and health authorities.

Roscan's Malian operations have not been disrupted by COVID-19 and Roscan is proceeding with its exploration activities as long as the work environment remains safe. Roscan has established rigorous controls, prevention measures and a response plan in order to ensure the good health and safety of its workers.

MALI COUP

In August 2020 and again in May 2021, a coup was staged by Mali's military resulting in the dissolution of the Malian government. Mali is currently being governed by a transitional government. The Company's exploration activities have not been disrupted. It should be noted that the Mali capital, Bamako, the centre of the political transition, is over 600 kilometres from its exploration site.

The Company's Malian properties may potentially expose the Company to risks and different considerations not normally associated with companies or exploration activities in North America. The Company's ability to retain its properties, raise and deploy capital may be adversely affected by changes in governing regimes, policies, laws and regulations, all of which are beyond the Company's control.
