NATURE OF BUSINESS

Tres-Or is a resource exploration company focused on the exploration of gold, base metals and diamond properties in Canada. The properties which the Company owns or which it is currently evaluating for acquisition are located in the traditional mining areas of Northeastern Ontario and Northwestern Quebec.

Tres-Or currently has no producing properties, and consequently no operating income or cash flow. To date the Company has been entirely dependent on the equities market to finance all of its activities and it is anticipated that it will continue to rely on this source of funding for its exploration expenditures and to meet its ongoing working capital requirements. Because of the size of the portfolio of exploration properties and the magnitude of the expenditures needed to fund exploration programs, the Company also makes use of options/joint ventures or other arrangements to share the costs and risks associated with exploring some of its exploration and evaluation assets.

The Company defers (capitalizes) all acquisition and exploration costs until the asset to which those costs are related is placed into production, sold, abandoned, or management determines there to be impairment. The decision to abandon a property is largely determined from exploration results, and the amount and timing of the Company's write-offs of resource property acquisition and deferred exploration costs typically cannot be predicted in advance and will vary from one reporting period to the next. As a result, there may be significant changes in the financial results and statement of financial position reported by the Company.

The Company trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol TRS.

Fontana Gold Project, Quebec

The Fontana Property is located within the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt, 16km northeast of Amos and 60 km north of Val-d'Or, Quebec.

In July 2019, the Company closed a definitive option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Kiboko Exploration Inc. (renamed Kiboko Gold Inc.) ("Kiboko") to advance the Company's Fontana Gold Project. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Kiboko can earn an initial 65% interest in the Fontana Gold Project, subject to underlying royalties, within a four-year period from the closing of the Transaction (July 9, 2019) under the following conditions:

  1. Making total cash payments or subscribing for securities of the Company totaling $1,000,000 ($5,000 paid and $195,000 shares subscribed during 2020; $300,000 shares subscribed during 2021); and
  2. On or before July 10, 2021, complete a technical report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 that establishes a mineral resource estimate of no less than 1,000,000 ounces of gold of Inferred classification or higher, or incur expenditures on the Fontana Gold Project's claims totaling $4,000,000.

Upon earning a 65% interest, Kiboko will have the option to affect a merger with the Company, form a joint venture, or earn an additional 25% interest, for an aggregate 90% interest. The additional 25% interest may be earned by incurring additional exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 within a 6-year period from the date of the closing or by completing a preliminary economic assessment and a supporting technical report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101.

Upon earning a 90% interest, Kiboko will have the option to affect a merger or joint venture. In the event of a formation of a joint venture, each party to the joint venture will be responsible for its pro rata share of project expenditures. Should any party to the joint venture fall below a 10% participating interest, their interest shall convert to a 1% Net Smelter Returns ("NSR") royalty on the first 1,000,000 ounces of gold production. The remaining participating party shall also have a customary 90-dayright-of-first refusal ("ROFR") on the sale of any portion of the NSR and the right to purchase one-half of the NSR for $1,000,000.

As part of the Kiboko Option Agreement, Globex extinguished all of its underlying royalty agreements as related to the Fontana Project in exchange for a single 2% Net Smelter Return ("NSR") royalty agreement for the entire Fontana Gold Project (the "New Royalty Agreement"). The New Royalty Agreement provides for a customary 90- day ROFR on the sale of any portion of the NSR in favour of Tres-Or and Kiboko. The New Royalty Agreement will also provide for a customary option to buyout one-half of the 2% NSR for $2,000,000 at any time prior to commercial production.

In addition, Tres-Or and Kiboko have both agreed to recognize and confirm an additional 1.8% NSR on the Chenier claims (the "Chenier Family NSR") under the condition that Globex's right to purchase this royalty at any time for $360,000 be extended to Tres-Or and Kiboko. Tres-Or and Kiboko have been granted a customary 90- day ROFR on any potential sale of the Chenier Family NSR.

Also, as part of the New Royalty Agreement, all outstanding payments due to Globex were extinguished and restated as follows:

(paid) and a second installment being due on January 30, 2020. On January 30, 2020, the Company and Globex entered into a second amending agreement where the second installment will be satisfied by making payments in cash and shares. Under the second amending agreement, the Company will make a cash payment of $25,000 on or before March 30, 2020 (paid), and issue 400,000 common shares of the Company to Globex (issued).

During fiscal 2019, Kiboko reported that it has completed a regional and property-level structural interpretation for the Fontana Gold Project. Kiboko also staked additional ground within the mutual area of interest stipulated in the Option Agreement in the name of the Tres-Or in 2019 and 2020. The Fontana Gold Project under the Kiboko Option Agreement has been consolidated to include the Duvay and Chenier Gold Properties, Duvay Nord and East Mac properties and additional contiguous claims now covering a surface of about 100 km2.

Kiboko engaged an independent third party to author a NI 43-101 report and elected not to complete exploration work, having only completed $250,000 in expenditures to meet the firm commitment required in the first year of the Option. Tres-Or received a copy of the report from Kiboko titled "Harricana Gold Project Technical Report, Duverny Township, Quebec with an effective date of November 30, 2020 and an issue date of July 6, 2021. Tres- Or was advised that Kiboko submitted this report to the BC Securities Commission for review with the intent to raise capital via an IPO process. During the year ended February 28, 2022, the Company amended and restated the agreement with Kiboko dated June 6, 2019, and granted a one-stage option to acquire 100% of the Company's interest in the Fontana gold project under the following conditions:

  1. Return 2,000,001 common shares and one million warrants of the company previously issued to Kiboko;
  2. Make $300,000 payment to Tres-Or's counsel on or before November 30, 2021 (paid), of which $200,000 was to be paid to Globex to satisfy the Company's remaining obligation (paid);
  3. Complete an initial public offering of Kiboko's securities for minimum gross proceeds of $3,000,000, on or before June 30, 2022;
  4. Within 30 days of closing of an initial public offering, pay $350,000 and issue Kiboko shares to the Company for $1,500,000 value, based on the share price at which Kiboko's common shares were issued in the initial public offering.

In December 2021, Tres-Or completed the terms of the November 2011 option agreement with Globex and subsequently, Globex transferred all its interests in the Fontana claims 100% to Tres-Or subject to certain underlying royalties.

About the Fontana Gold Property

The Fontana Property (renamed the Harricana Gold Project by Kiboko), is located 60 km north of Val-d'Or and is the most advanced project in the Amos area of Quebec. .The area that is included in the Harricana Gold Project hosts multiple historical gold occurrences dating back to the 1930's and has been explored by various companies intermittently since this time. The gold occurrences on the property are typical of the Abitibi region of Québec, associated with shear zones, quartz veins and faults. No mineral resources have been defined on the property to NI 43-101 standards. Most of this work is described in assessment reports filed with the Québec government. Since the 1930's, close to 1,000 drillholes have been recorded on or near the property, as well as stripping, trenching, bulk sampling, and both airborne and ground geophysical surveys.

Technical Report

In August 2020, WSP Canada Inc. ("WSP") was retained to review the work Kiboko had completed and prepare a NI 43-101 technical report on the Harricana Gold Project. The technical report provides an evaluation of the geologic potential of the Harricana Gold Project and provides recommendations for future exploration work. The technical report, prepared by Ian Crundwell, P.Geo., and Bruno Perron, P.Eng., of WSP, dated May 2, 2022, has been filed and is available for viewing at Kiboko's profile on SEDAR.

Within the Project area, three priority zones of interest have been identified, based upon the geographic density of drilling, as exploration targets:

  1. Fontana, containing 79,565 m of diamond drilling over 420 historic diamond drillholes, situated in the middle of the Project, and comprising the main area of past exploration work;
