Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2022
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net income of $34,975 compared to a net loss of $102,463 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Significant items making up the change in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were as follows:
- Unrealized gain on marketable securities increased to $187,500 (2021: $nil). The Company received 750,000 Optimum shares from the sale of the Harry Property in November 2021. The increase in unrealized gain on marketable securities was due to the change in value of the Optimum shares held.
-
Administrative expenses slightly increased to $152,525 (2021: $102,463) as the Company has increased the
cost of office overhead including investor relations and marketing fees of $22,500 (2021: $nil), professional
fees of $13,238 (2021: $5,494), and regulatory and shareholder services of $32,381 (2021: $18,689).
Operating Activities
The Company's cash used in operating activities was $1,774,974 (2021: $32,319). The significant increase in cash used in operating activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was mainly due to payments to the vendors of the drilling campaign.
Investing Activities
The Company's cash used in investing activities was ($133,896) (2021: $27,200). The Company's principal investing activity is the acquisition and exploration of its resource properties. During the three months period ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred exploration expenditures of $133,896 (2021: $27,200).
Financing Activities
The Company's cash inflow provided by financing activities was $nil (2021: $125,000). There was no closing of private placements in the period ended March 31, 2022; therefore, there was no proceed raised.
Cash Resources and Going Concerns
At March 31, 2022, the Company had $2,156,356 in cash and working capital of $2,512,771. To continue to maintain the property in the future, the Company will have to raise additional equity or form strategic partnerships; however, there cannot be any certainty that additional financing can be raised or strategic partnerships can be found.
OPERATIONS
The Company is principally engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing interests in mining projects. To date, the Company has not generated revenues from its principal activities and is considered to be in the exploration stage.
On September 2, 2021, the Company completed the continuation from the Companies Law (2021 Revision) of the Cayman Islands into the jurisdiction of British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) with the intention to increase flexibility, and to reduce administrative costs.
On September 13, 2021, the Company entered into a termination agreement with Teuton and a quitclaim agreement (the "Quitclaim Agreement") with Optimum Ventures Ltd. ("Optimum") whereby the Company agreed with Teuton to terminate its Harry Property option agreement dated September 4, 2020, and simultaneously enter into the Quitclaim Agreement with Optimum allowing Teuton and Optimum to enter into a new option/sale agreement on the property. Under the terms of the Quitclaim Agreement, Optimum issued the Company 750,000 Optimum common shares and paid the Company's existing costs on the project which were $27,000. On November 10, 2021, the transaction was closed.
JAYDEN RESOURCES INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2022
On February 17, 2021, the Company entered into a property option agreement with three arm's length vendors (the "Optionors") to acquire a 100% interest in the Storm Lake Gold Property located in the Frotet-Evans Greenstone Belt in central Quebec. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company can acquire a 100% interest in the Storm Lake Gold Property by making cash and share payments to the Optionors totaling $750,000 and 6,600,000 post-consolidation common shares respectively. On July 5, 2021, the Company paid $200,000 and issued 2,200,000 shares to the Optionors.
As per the recommendations contained in a 43-101F1 Technical Report written for the Company on the Storm Lake property dated August 25, 2021, the Company completed its 2021 phase one exploration program which included sampling/trenching and IP surveys to prepare for the drill program and based on the findings advanced the phase two drill program from 5,000 to 6,000 meters.
The Company has received the results from its 21 hole/4,561 meter diamond drill program on its Storm Lake gold property located in the Frotet-Evans Greenstone Belt in north central Quebec. These results not only confirmed the presence of gold mineralization throughout the property, but it also indicated the presence of structural and formational gold traps with significant grades. The presence of hydrothermal alteration in a felsic environment is also favorable to trigger gold remobilization. The Company had planned up to a 6,000-meter program but cut that short due partly to inclement weather and shortened daylight hours which affected helicopter performance which significantly increased the cost per meter to drill. The savings incurred will be applied to the 2022 drill program which is currently being mapped out.
