On January 25th, 2021, the Company entered a definitive Share Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") closed on March 19, 2021, for Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (formerly 1250598 B.C. Ltd.) ("Terra Balcanica") to acquire the Company a corporation existing under the laws of the Republic of Serbia mineral exploration company which holds certain mineral property interests in Serbia and Bosnia.

In connection to the agreement the Company acquired two subsidiaries - Tera Balkanika d.o.o. Beograd in which it holds 100% interest and Drina Resources d.o.o in which it holds a 90% interest. Tera Balkanika d.o.o. Beograd is located at 33/II Kneza Mihaila Street, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia. Drina Resources d.o.o. is located at Marsala Tita bb, 75430 Srebrenica, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Tera Balkanika d.o.o.

MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST

Terra Balcanica Resources Corp., through its Bosnian and Serbian subsidiaries, has been granted five separate exploration licenses in both Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. Two mineral exploration licences, namely Čauš in Bosnia and Kaludra in Serbia have been relinquished in the past 6 months due to business re-prioritization and to cut costs.

Viogor-Zanik, Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Viogor-Zanik Project comprises 2 mineral exploration licences (Čumavići and Olovine) totalling 216 km2. The project overlaps the Srebrenica Magmatic Complex as the northwesternmost extension of the Serbo-Macedonian Metallogenic Province of SE Europe. The Srebrenica district is hosted by Oligo-Miocene, intermediate to mafic subvolcanic rocks emplaced into Paleozoic slates and covered by Neogene felsic pyroclastics. The district hosts three types of mineralization, including surficial gold-zinc-copper skarn, deeper porphyry style Cu-Mo and Pb-Zn-Ag bearing hydrothermal veins with variable additional concentrations of Sn and Sb. The Srebrenica district shares many mineralogical similarities to those of the Andean Ag-Sn belt, the Lavrion deposit in Greece, and the Baia Mare Metallogenic District of East Carpathians, in Romania.

Terra Balcanica has completed detailed surface geology work at Viogor-Zanik during fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 including geophysical analysis, geochemical analysis, surface mapping, and structural analysis and has identified a number of drill-ready targets. Additionally, the Company completed an 1,830 m maiden drilling program on the Cumavici and Olivine licences in January of 2022 to test high grade, vein hosted as well as skarn mineralization's. This involved drilling 11 diamond drill holes at four separate locations. The Company executed a 1,900 m, Phase II drill campaign in the fiscal 2023 when 17 drill holes were completed a dozen locations at Cumavici and Brezani (Olovine licence) targets to advance the polymetallic assets.

Ceovishte, Serbia

The Ceovishte mineral license in Serbia totals 80.36 km2. The mineral license claims straddle the northern edge of the Kopaonik metallogenic zone, a 10 x 20 km area of the Serbo-Macedonian Metallogenic Province that features many Pb and Zn deposits, as well as Cu-Au porphyries and satellite epithermal deposits hosted by Tertiary andesitic to dacitic volcanics and granodiorites. Historical exploration was minimal with Euromax drilling between 2,000 and 2,500 m in 2008 and only 1,200 m of exploration drilling in the central part of the licence by First Quantum Minerals in 2014-2015.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND RISK FACTORS

The Company does not own interests in any producing mines. At present, management is concentrating most of its efforts on advancing its exploration activity in Terra. See "Property Transactions and Exploration" for additional information.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The loss from operating expenses for the year ended January 31, 2024 compared to the year ended January 31, 2023 decreased by approximately $1,491,390. The activity for the year ended January 31, 2024 was caused, for the most part, by a decrease in all expense accounts, consulting and salaries of approximately $72,000, a decrease in professional fees by approximately $273,000, a decrease in investor relations by $220,219 which was attributed to a visibility campaign through a third party which emphasised investment advisors, brokers and shareholders in the prior period. The continued decrease which were directly attributed with the Company's preparation of acquisition as well as facilitating exploration activities on the mineral interests.

On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement ("SEA") with Tera Balkanika d.o.o. The Company agreed to purchase all the shares in the capital of Tera ("TB Shares") by issuing 24,525,000 common shares of the Company representing approximately 46.95% of the Company total issued and outstanding shares on March 19, 2021.

The Transaction constitutes an RTO of the Company and has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition transaction in accordance with the guidance provided in IFRS 2, Share-based Payments and IFRS 3, Business Combinations. As the Company did not qualify as a business according to the definition in IFRS 3, the RTO does not constitute a business combination; rather it is treated as an issuance of common shares by the Company for the net assets Tera Balkanika, with the Company as the continuing entity. Accordingly, no goodwill or intangible assets were recorded with respect to the Transaction as it does not constitute a business.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In conducting its business, the Company faces a number of risks and uncertainties related to the mineral exploration industry. Some of these risk factors include risks associated with land title, exploration and development, government and environmental regulations, permits and licenses, competition, fluctuating metal prices, the requirement and ability to raise additional capital through future financings and price volatility of publicly traded securities. See "Risk Factors" in the Prospectus (as defined below).

Risks to Operations in the Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Company's exploration activities on the Viogor-Zanik Project may be affected by political instability, social unrest and government regulations relating to foreign investment, corporate activity, and the mining business in the Bosnia and Herzegovina. Operations may also be affected in varying degrees by terrorism, military conflict or repression, crime, extreme fluctuations in currency rates and high inflation. The License granted by the Government of the Bosnia and Herzegovina enables the Company to conduct exploration and development activities. Notwithstanding this arrangement, the Company's ability to conduct exploration and development activities or to later expand its operations will be subject to obtaining and/or renewing licenses, permits or concessions, changes in laws or government regulations or shifts in political attitudes beyond its control.

6

The laws and regulations on mining in Bosnia and Herzegovina have experienced continued growth and development since the nation's recovery from the Bosnian War and surrounding conflict during the 1990s. As a result of the continual changes to the law, some areas of the mining laws and regulations are unclear. This lack of certainty in the laws and regulations may impact the Company's ability to ensure compliance with the same.

Political Instability

The Bosnia and Herzegovina has experienced political difficulties in past years, including a civil war in the 1990s, with portions of the region still subject to hidden landmines including the area consisting of the Viogor-Zanik Project. Although the Company has retained demining consultants, there is no guarantee that the presence of landmines or other dangers resulting from the past civil war would not impede access, progress, or safety of operations.

The Company may consider carrying political risk insurance to cover its activities on the Viogor-Zanik Project. There can be no assurance that, if the Company chose to obtain it, political risk insurance would be available to it, or that particular losses the Company may suffer with respect to its foreign investments will be covered by any insurance that it may obtain in the future. Any such losses could have an adverse impact on the Company's future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

Governmental Regulations

The activities of the Company in connection with the Drina Licenses will be subject to the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina approvals, various laws governing development, land resumptions, production taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, and other matters. Although the Issuer believes that activities on the Viogor-Zanik Project are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail development or production. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the business, operations and financial performance of the Company. Further, the Drina Licenses and any future licenses and permits may be subject to conditions which, if not satisfied, may lead to the revocation of such licenses and permits. In the event of revocation, the value of the Company's investments in the Viogor-Zanik Project will decline. If the Reporting Issuer does not comply with the laws and regulations of the Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Government could conduct a review into the activities of the Reporting Issuer and may issue decrees to revoke land use rights of the Company.

Regulatory Requirements in the Bosnia and Herzegovina

The proposed or future activities of the Company will require permits from various governmental authorities, and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing exploration, development, production, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land and water use, environmental protection, site safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties generally experience increased costs and delays in development and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with the applicable laws, regulations and permits. There can be no assurance that all permits which the Company may require for the facilities and conduct of development operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulation would not have an adverse effect on the Viogor-Zanik Project.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing activities to cease or be curtailed and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in development and production operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the development and production activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed upon them for violation of applicable laws or regulations. Amendments to current laws, regulation and permits governing operations and activities of mineral companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures and development costs or require abandonment or delays in the development of the Viogor-Zanik Project.

The Company may encounter regulatory and/or permitting delays. The Company will utilize its best efforts to ensure timely application for any government permits necessary for conducting its operations in the Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, its past ability to obtain all necessary permits in a timely fashion is not a guarantee of future results as events like bureaucracy and minor changes in legislation that are beyond the Company's control could substantially impede the timing of receiving essential permits and delay or stall the Company's exploration efforts.

Environmental Risks

The Company's exploration and development activities on the Viogor-Zanik Project will, in general, be subject to approval by regulatory bodies. Additionally, all phases of the mining business present environmental risks and hazards and are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to a variety of international conventions and federal and state and municipal laws and regulations. Environmental legislation provides for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with mining operations. The legislation also requires

7

that facility sites be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner expected to result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability and potentially increased capital expenditures and operating costs.

If the environmental laws and regulations relating to the Company's activities were to change, or the enforcement of such laws and regulations were to become more rigorous, the Company could be required to incur significant expenditures to comply, which could have a material adverse effect on its future cash, flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition, its ability to develop projects further, and increase its reserves and resources.

The Company may also be required to establish a decommissioning and reclamation plan for the Viogor-Zanik Project. Provision made for the cost of decommissioning and reclamation can be significant and are subject to change. It cannot be predicted what level of decommissioning and reclamation may be required in the future by regulators. If the Company is required to comply with significant additional regulations or if the actual cost of future decommissioning and reclamation is significantly higher than current estimates, this could have an adverse impact on its future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company conducted a comprehensive baseline environmental study in May of 2021 to establish the initial environmental parameters across the three licences which constitute the Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia.

Canadian Regulatory Requirements

The Company will also be subject to Canadian regulations while operating in the Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (the "Anti-Corruption Legislation"). The Anti-Corruption Legislation will prohibit the Company or any officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any shareholder of the Company acting on its behalf from paying, offering to pay, or authorizing the payment of anything of value to any foreign government official, government staff member, political party, or political candidate in an attempt to obtain or retain business or to otherwise influence a person working in an official capacity. The Anti-Corruption Legislation also requires Canadian public companies to make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect their transactions and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls.

The Company's operations in the Bosnia and Herzegovina may create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by the Company's employees, consultants or agents. Any failure by the Company and its subsidiaries to adopt appropriate compliance procedures and ensure that its employees and agents comply with the Anti-Corruption Legislation and applicable laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial penalties or restrictions on the Reporting Issuer's ability to conduct business in certain foreign jurisdictions, which may have a material adverse impact on the Reporting Issuer and its share price.

License of the Viogor-Zanik Project

The Company owns the Bosnian Licenses of the Viogor-Zanik Project through its subsidiary corporation, Drina Resources doo Srebrenica. The Company's right to maintain and exercise the Drina Licenses will require payments to the government pursuant to the terms of the Drina's exploration right and obligations. There is no assurance that such rights provided for by the Viogor-Zanik licenses will not be revoked or significantly altered to the detriment of the Company. There can also be no assurance that the Company's rights will not be challenged or impugned by third parties, including local governments. Though the Company may not be aware of any uncertainties in the Drina Licenses, there is no assurance that such uncertainties will not arise and result in future losses or additional expenditures, which could have an adverse impact on its future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

Substantial Capital Requirements and Liquidity

The Company will have limited financial resources and no revenues. If the Company's exploration and development of the Viogor-Zanik Project is successful, substantial additional funds will be required for the purposes of further development and future operations. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise the additional funding that may be required for such activities on acceptable terms or at all. Mineral prices, environmental rehabilitation or restitution, revenues, taxes, transportation costs, capital expenditures and operating expenses and geological results are all factors which will have an impact on the amount of additional capital that may be required. To meet such funding requirements, the Company may be required to undertake additional equity financing, which would be dilutive to shareholders. Debt financing, if available, may also involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope and/or amend the timing of its development plans and/or operations.

No Mineral Resources or Reserves

The Viogor-Zanik Project and Terra's Serbian mineral exploration licence Ceovishte are jointly considered to be in the early exploration and development stage. As of the date of this Prospectus, no 43-101 compliant mineral resources have been defined at the Viogor-Zanik or Serbian Project. There is no certainty that further exploration and development will result in the definition of indicated, or measured resources, or probable or proven reserves, at the Viogor-Zanik Project, the Ceovishte

Project, or any mineral exploration project that the Company pursues, or that if any mineral resources or reserves are defined at such projects that that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized.

Development and Operating Risks

The development of minerals involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. There can be no guarantee that the estimates of quantities and qualities of minerals which may be disclosed will be economically recoverable. With all mining operations there is uncertainty and, therefore, risk associated with operating parameters and costs resulting from the scaling up of extraction methods evaluated in pilot conditions. Mineral development and production are speculative in nature.

The Company's operations will be subject to all of the hazards and risks normally encountered in the development and production of mineral properties. These include unusual and unexpected geological formations, rock falls, seismic activity, flooding and other conditions involved in the extraction of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to life or property, environmental damage and possible legal liability. Although precautions to minimize risk will be taken, operations are subject to hazards that may result in environmental pollution, and consequent liability that could have a material adverse impact on the business, operations and financial performance of the Company.

Reliance on Management and Dependence on Key Personnel

The success of the Company is currently largely dependent upon on the performance of its directors and officers and the ability to attract and retain its key personnel. The loss of the services of these persons may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects. The Company will compete with numerous other companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and contractors. There is no assurance that the Company can maintain the service of its directors and officers, or other qualified personnel required to operate its business. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its prospects.

The Company may also experience difficulty acquiring visas for foreign workers and key personnel which could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its operations.

Health and Safety Risks

The Company must comply with the health and safety laws, regulations, guidelines and permitting requirements in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. These laws are in place to protect the health and safety of employees while working at the Viogor-Zanik Project. The possibility of more stringent laws or more rigorous enforcement of existing laws could have a material adverse effect on the Company's exploration activities and the viability of the Viogor-Zanik Project.

Limited Operating History

The Company will be a relatively new company with limited operating history and no history of business or mining operations, revenue generation or production history. The Company has yet to generate a profit from its activities. The Company will be subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including the risk that it will not achieve its growth objectives.

Fluctuating Mineral Prices

The economics of mineral development are affected by many factors beyond the Company's control including, commodity prices, the cost of operations, and fluctuations in the market price of minerals. Depending on the price of minerals, it may be determined that it is uneconomic to continue the Company's activities on the Viogor-Zanik Project.

Mineral prices are prone to fluctuations and the marketability of minerals is affected by government regulation relating to price, royalties, allowable production and the importing and exporting of minerals, the effect of which cannot be accurately predicted. There is no assurance that a profitable market will exist for the sale of any metals which may be identified on the Viogor-Zanik Project.

Currency Fluctuations

Currency fluctuations may materially affect the financial position and results of the Company. The Company's earnings and cash flow may also be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and other currencies, such as the Bosnian mark, the Serbian dinar, and the Euro. The Company will not engage in currency hedging to offset any risk of currency fluctuations.

Supply Chain Interruptions

Due to limited suppliers of equipment, materials, supplies and services available in the Bosnia and Herzegovina and in

9

Serbia, any disruption at supplier facilities could result in curtailment or suspension of activities. Any disruption in the transportation of or restriction in the flow of these goods or the imposition of customs clearance requirements may result in production delays.

The Company is also exposed to price volatility in respect of key inputs, such as fuel. Increases in global fuel prices can materially increase operating costs, erode operating margins and project investment returns, and potentially reduce viable reserves. Conversely, a significant and sustained decline in world oil prices may offset other costs and improve returns.

Competition

There is competition within the mining industry for the discovery and acquisition of properties considered to have commercial potential. The Company will compete with other mining companies, many of which have greater financial, technical and other resources than the Company, for, among other things, the acquisition of minerals claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel.

Risks of Foreign Operations

The Company operates in countries with varied political and economic environments. Any changes in regulations or shifts in the political environment are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its operations. Within Canada, the Company's activities may be adversely affected by laws and policies of Canada affecting foreign trade, taxation and investment. Beyond Canada's borders, the Company's foreign operations are subject to certain risks including extreme fluctuations in currency, political and economic instability, risks of war or civil unrest, labour unrest, expropriation and nationalization, acts of terrorism, illegal mining and mineral exploration, government regulations that favour or require the country's domestic contractors, suppliers or resources, opposition from environmental or other non-governmental organizations and renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits and contracts, all of which may affect the Company and its operations in varying degrees.

The Drina Licenses pertain to the Viogor-Zanik Project which is located in the Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Company's activities may be adversely affected by laws and policies of Canada affecting foreign trade, taxation, and investment. In the event of a dispute arising in connection with the Company's operations in the Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Company may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdictions of the courts of Canada or enforcing Canadian judgments in such other jurisdictions. The Company may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a governmental instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity. Accordingly, the Company's development activities on the Viogor-Zanik Project could be substantially affected by factors beyond the Company's control, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company has a license application with respect to an additional exploration project in Serbia pending before the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Serbia and will in the future acquire resource properties and operations outside of the Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of its strategy to develop a portfolio of properties in the Balkan region. Such expansion may present challenges and risks that the Company has not faced in the past, any of which could adversely affect the results of operations and/or financial condition of the Company.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain of the proposed directors and officers of the Company engage in, and will continue to engage in, other business activities on their own behalf and on behalf of other companies (including mineral resource companies) and, as a result of these and other activities, such directors and officers of the Company may become subject to conflicts of interest.

Uninsurable Risks

Development and production operations of mineral properties involve numerous risks, including unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions, rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, floods, earthquakes, and other environmental occurrences. It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition and could cause a decline in the value of the Company Shares. The Company does not intend to maintain insurance against environmental risks.

Litigation

The Company and/or its directors may be subject to a variety of civil or other legal proceedings, with or without merit.

Dividends

To date, the Company has not generated any earnings and or paid any dividends on their outstanding shares. Any decision to pay dividends on the shares of the Company will be made by its board of directors on the basis of the Company's earnings, financial requirements and other conditions. If the Company generates earnings in the foreseeable future, it expects that they would be retained to finance growth.

Risks associated with COVID-19

Future outbreaks of COVID-19 and any future emergence and spread of similar pathogens could have a material adverse effect on global and local economic and business conditions which may adversely impact the Company's business and results of operations and the operations of contractors and service providers. The Company's plans to advance the exploration and evaluation of its mineral properties are dependent upon its ability to complete the work required in connection with these activities through its employees and contractors. The extent to which such pandemics may impact the Company's operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. These adverse effects on the economy, the stock market and the Company's common share price could adversely impact the Company's ability to raise capital, with the result that its ability to explore its mineral properties could be adversely impacted, both through delays and through increased costs. Any of these developments, and others, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations and could delay its plans for exploration and evaluation of our mineral properties.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments - fair value

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accruals.

The carrying value of receivables, accounts payable and accruals, lease liabilities, short-term deposits, due to related parties and advances payable approximates their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Financial instruments measured at fair value on the statements of financial position are summarized into the following fair value hierarchy levels:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company's financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortized cost and belong to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. During the year ended January 31, 2024 there were no transfers between the level of fair value hierarchy.

Financial instruments - risk

The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, and liquidity risk.

  1. Credit risk
    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with major financial institutions. The Company has minimal receivables exposure as its refundable credits are due from the Serbian government.
  2. Interest rate risk
    The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk because of fluctuating interest rates. Fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on the Company's operations due to the short term to maturity.
  3. Liquidity risk
    Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure its expenditures will not exceed available resources.
