JAYDEN RESOURCES INC.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

For the year ended December 31, 2021

1. Overview

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 4, 2020, Jayden announced that it had entered into a property option agreement with Teuton Resources Corp. (TSXV:TUO) to acquire up to a 75% interest in the Harry and Outland Silver Bar properties (the "Property") which are located in the Skeena Mining Division approximately 30km northwest of Stewart, BC.

The Property consists of 3 contiguous claims that cover a gross area of approximately 1,333 hectares. As per an April 2019 National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the property, the majority of the Property including the Outlander claim lies along the NW portion of a geological corridor prospective for gold-silver mineralization that is up to 3 kilometers wide. It is at least 15 kilometers long extending from south of the Premier Mine, possibly in the US, north to the Scottie Gold Mine and beyond. Within this mineralized corridor, there are a number of gold/silver deposits as well as numerous prospects. Deposits within this corridor include the Premier, Big Missouri, Silver Coin, Martha Ellen and Mt Dilworth.

On December 9, 2020, Teuton announced that it had discovered a new zone of mineralization on the Harry Property containing 7.86 ozs/ton over 2 metres

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.

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.

2. Overall performance for the year ended December 31, 2021

The Company's performance for the year ended December 31, 2021 was a net loss of $353,064 compared to a net loss of $218,964 in 2020. The change is primarily due to the increase in administration expenses related to the active drilling campaign in Storm Lake property in 2021 offset by the realized gain of $341,050 on disposal of the Company's Harry and Outland Silver Bar properties.
