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 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 to date 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.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

(for the three month period ended January 31, 2022)

Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant resource estimate, expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2022.

On January 20, 2022, the Company commenced a 12,000-metre (Diamond Drilling, Reverse Circulation and Air core) drilling program focussing on Kabaya, Disse and Kandiole North to gain a better understanding and add additional ounces to the maiden resource. Drilling will also take place at Mankouke West for exploration purposes. The program was completed by the middle of February, and the assay results are expected by the end of March. These results will also be included in the Kandiole Project's National Instrument NI 43-101 as discussed above.

During March regional exploration continued (termite mound infill geochemistry, saprolite geochemistry and reconnaissance AC holes) and step out drilling at Kandiole, Mankouke South/Center and Disse.

Financing activities

During the three-month period ended January 31, 2022, proceeds of $1,189,200 have been received by the Company from the exercise of 7,432,500 warrants. There are currently 2,142,870 warrants, at $0.55, which expire on April 8, 2022.

On February 28, 2022, the Company announced a C$5.0 million non-brokered private placement with strategic investors to advance the Company's Kandiole Gold Project in West Mali. The Strategic Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase 12.5 million common shares at a price of C$0.40 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$5,000,000 (the "Offering"). The C$0.40 price per share reflected a 11% premium to the 30-Day VWAP to February 25, 2022.

On March 11, 2022, the Company closed on the previously announced private placement for gross proceeds of $5,000,000. A 6% finder's fee or $300,000 was paid to certain parties and the Company issued 200,000 Common Shares to a certain eligible finder in lieu of cash commissions.

MINERAL PROPERTIES

Kandiole Project - Mali

The Kandiole Project is comprised of ten contiguous gold prospective permits, encompassing approximately 401.8sq. kilometres located within the Kéniéba "Cercle", an administrative sub-area of the Kayes Region, approximately 400 km west of Bamako, the capital of Mali in West Africa. On July 2, 2020, the Company acquired the Dabia South permit (35 sq. kms - renewal date of February 3, 2022) through the acquisition of Komet Mali SARL (note 6), in which the $3,345,661 acquisition cost was expensed in accordance with the Company's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures. In addition, the Company entered into nine option agreements to acquire nine permits, encompassing 366.8 sq. kilometres. Each option agreement requires the Company to keep each permit in good standing and perform all obligations required by law.

A Mining Permit (permis d'exploitation) may be granted for 30 years and is renewable for further periods of ten years until the mineral reserves have been exhausted. A Mining Permit may be granted to the holder of an Exploration Permit or a Prospecting Licence. Holders of a Mining Permit are required to enter an agreement referred to as a "Convention d'Établissement" or "Mining Convention Agreement" with the Malian government prior to the commencement of exploration or mining activities and must begin work within three years. A non- dilutable 10% share is owned by the Malian State, and the State reserves the right to acquire an additional 10% in the future.

Gold explorers and miners are subject to a tax called "Impôt Spécial sur Certains Produits (ISCO)" (Special Tax on Certain Products)". An additional tax called "taxé ad Valorem" has a taxable base equal to the starting value of the tonnage extracted minus intermediary fees and expenses. Gold and other precious metals are levied at a 3% royalty rate.

  1. Mankouke Option Agreement - Option exercised, and transfer permit is pending. To exercise the option the Company shall:

    • The reader should note that the Mankouke option has been renewed the maximum number of times and that there is no guarantee that the government will renew it again on April 3, 2023. The Company will however be applying for an exploitation licence on the completion of a pre- feasibility study expected to be completed later in 2022. The Company believes that by filing a pre-feasibility study prior to the expiry of the permit, the Government will grant an exploitation licence.
