INTRODUCTION

This management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") reflects the assessment by management of the activities, consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of the operations of Treasury Metals Inc. ("Treasury Metals" or the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2022. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the notes thereto (the "Financial Statements"), which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). All dollar figures in this MD&A are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless stated otherwise. References to CAD and US$ are to

Canadian dollars and United States ("U.S.") dollars, respectively. This MD&A is dated March 27, 2023 and information contained herein is presented as of such date, unless otherwise indicated.

Further information about the Company and its operations is available under the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR atwww.sedar.com,on the OTCQX® Best Market ("OTCQX") atwww.otcmarkets.com and on the Company's website atwww.treasurymetals.com.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Treasury Metals is a Canadian gold exploration and development company focused on its 100%-owned Goliath Gold Complex (Complex), which includes the district-scale Goliath Project, Goldlund Project and Miller Project. The Complex benefits from access to first-rate infrastructure at its location spanning from the Dryden area to Sioux Lookout, northwestern Ontario, Canada, within the Kenora Mining Division. Treasury Metals is advancing the Goliath Gold Complex projects through their respective permitting processes to advance construction and future mine production for open-pit gold mines and underground operations. In 2019, the Federal Minister of Environment released a Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA 2012) decision statement for the Goliath Project, which concluded that the project was unlikely to result in significant adverse effects to the environment. Key programs during 2022 included drilling and field exploration, an updated mineral resource estimate, updated engineering studies, continued environmental baseline collection and permitting processes supporting the Company's stated goals of completing a pre-feasibility study and mine permits on the Goliath Gold Complex.

The Company's issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbol "TML" and also trade on the OTCQX under the symbol "TSRMF". In addition, the Company has common share purchase warrants that trade on the TSX under the symbol "TML.WT" and also trade on the OTCQX under the symbol "TRYMF". The Company operates its corporate headquarters in Toronto, Ontario, and a project office in Wabigoon, Ontario at the Goliath Project site. The Goldlund Project is operated from the Goliath Project office, approximately 50 kilometres by road from the Goldlund Project. Additional corporate information can be found on the Company's website atwww.treasurymetals.com.

The Company requires equity capital and other financing to fund working capital and development activities, corporate overhead costs, exploration and other costs relating to the advancement of exploration and mining properties. The Company's ability to continue as an active mineral property developer and explorer is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation. There is no assurance that financing efforts will be successful, sufficient or on terms acceptable to the Company, or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operation in the future.

This MD&A contains "forward-looking" information that is subject to risk factors set out in a cautionary note contained herein.

2022 HIGHLIGHTS

Financings

  • On April 11, 2022, the Company announced the closing of the previously-announced transaction whereby the Company entered into a royalty agreement (the "Sprott Royalty") with an affiliate of Sprott

Resource Streaming and Royalty Corp. ("SRSR") for a US$20 million royalty financing. The funds from the Sprott Royalty will be used to facilitate a decision on construction at the Goliath Gold Complex. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, SRSR will receive a 2.2% net smelter returns royalty from all minerals produced at the Goliath Gold Complex for the life of the project. The terms of the agreement provide for, among other things, a buyback provision by the Company, a step-down royalty reduction upon achieving certain production targets, minimum payments to SRSR of US$500,000 on a quarterly basis (payable in cash or Common Shares at the election of the Company) until the earlier of December 31, 2027 or achievement of commercial production, and a participation right for further project financing to a maximum of US$40 million by SRSR.

Mineral Resource Estimate

  • o On April 14, 2022, the Company released an updated mineral resource estimate for the Goliath Gold Complex (the "2022 MRE"). The 2022 MRE, with an effective date of January 17, 2022, was based on a total of 3,185 drill holes measuring 540,329 metres for the Goliath, Goldlund and Miller deposits, incorporating 176 new drill holes and 41,072 metres since the mineral resource estimate set out in the March 2021 Preliminary Economic Assessment (the "PEA") of the Goliath Gold Complex. The 2022 MRE formed the basis for the pre-feasibility study for the Goliath Gold Complex, which was completed in February 2023. See "Pre-Development: Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Goliath Gold Complex" and "Pre-Development: Pre-Feasibility for the Goliath Gold Complex" in this MD&A.
