Description of the Business

Sun Peak is a publicly traded company incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on June 2, 2016. Effective August 17, 2020, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol PEAK. Effective March 4, 2021, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States under the symbol SUNPF. The Company's head office and registered and records office address is Unit 1 - 15782 Marine Drive, White Rock, B.C. Canada V4B 1E6.

The Company's principal business is the acquisition, exploration, and development of resource properties for the mining of precious or base metals in Ethiopia.

In November 2020, armed conflicts broke out in the Tigray Region of northern Ethiopia and a state of emergency was declared in the Tigray Region by the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia government. The Company immediately suspended all work programs and invoked force majeure by notification to Ethiopia's Ministry of Mines and Petroleum. The Company has received letters from the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum confirming that the Ministry has accepted the force majeure declaration on its exploration licenses. Subsequent extension requests have been filed and accepted. During force majeure, all work and contractual commitments on the projects are deferred until it is deemed safe and stable by the Company to resume exploration work in the region.

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, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business. Risks include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to raise funds, the ability of the Company to conduct operations in the event of safety lockdowns, the inability to travel for professionals and contractors involved in exploration, regional travel and quarantine restrictions within the country, and the disruption of shipping material and samples to and from the project. The Company suspended exploration operations in March 2020 due to the pandemic and implemented a COVID response plan to comply with local and international regulations. In September 2020, the Company returned to full exploration operations in Ethiopia, however in November 2020, suspended exploration operations again due to the conflicts in Ethiopia.
