(“the Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at October 31, 2018 and 2017 and the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in equity for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. as at October 31, 2018 and 2017 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Nature of Operations The Company is in the business of acquiring interests in resource properties that are considered to be sites of potential economic mineralization, and then subsequently developing such assets with a view to enhancing their value and to bringing on a major mining partner for development of the assets. The Company may sell property for an enhanced value or seek a major mining partner to advance one of its projects on a joint venture basis. Currently the Company is principally engaged in the exploration of mineral properties which cannot be considered economic until a commercial feasibility study has been completed. The Company has no sources of operating revenue and, except for cash flow generated from exploration management fees, property option fees and sale of available-for-sale investments, is dependent upon equity financing to maintain current operations and to ultimately develop a mineral property interest or interests which can be profitably sold or further developed and placed into successful commercial production. The Company has not generated any revenue since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. With the exception of the prior year, the Company has incurred losses since inception and has an accumulated operating deficit of $7,706,052. The continuation and long-term viability of the Company remains dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. The head office and principal address of the Company is #320 – 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2V6. 2. Basis of Preparation a) Statement of Compliance The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation applied in these financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year. b) Consolidated Financial Statements These consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 20, 2019. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its 100% controlled entities, Constantine North Inc. (an Alaska corporation) and JT Mining Inc. (an Alaska corporation), and its 51% interest in Constantine Mining LLC (“CML”) (a Delaware corporation, registered in the state of Alaska). The Company records its proportionate interest in the assets, liabilities and expenses of CML in its consolidated financial statements. Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated on consolidation. 7 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Basis of Preparation (continued) c) Adoption of New and Revised Standards and Interpretations Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018: · IFRS 9, Financial Instruments; Under IFRS 9, financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories on initial recognition: those measured at fair value through profit and loss, those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and those measured at amortized cost. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured by default at fair value through profit or loss. However, there is an irrevocable option for each equity instrument to present fair value changes in other comprehensive income. Measurement and classification of financial assets is dependent on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. IFRS 9 provides a three-stage expected credit loss model for calculating impairment for financial assets. Expected credit losses are required to be recognized when financial instruments are initially recognized, and the amount of expected credit losses recognized are required to be updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in the credit risk of the financial instruments. On initial recognition, IFRS 9 requires financial liabilities to be classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost except for when one of the specified exceptions applies. In cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change relating to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the statement of loss, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019: · IFRS 16, Leases Under IFRS 16, the Company is required to review all its contracts to determine if they contain leases or lease-type arrangements. Virtually all leases are required to be accounted for as finance leases rather than operating leases, where the required lease payments are disclosed as a commitment in the notes to the financial statements (Note 12). As a result, the Company will be required to recognize leased assets (“right- of-use” assets) and the related lease liability on the statement of financial position. 3. Significant Accounting Policies a) Judgments and Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis of making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and further periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) a) Judgments and Estimates (continued) Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate to the determination of impairment of exploration and evaluation properties, determination of mineral reserves, and provision for closure and reclamation. A significant judgment applicable to the financial statements of the current year relates to the determination of the appropriate accounting treatment for the Company’s investment in Constantine Mining LLC. Refer to Notes 3(m) and 5(a). b) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash in the statement of financial position comprises cash at banks and on hand. Cash equivalents is comprised of highly liquid investments held at major financial institutions, having maturity dates of three months or less from the date of purchase, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. c) Foreign Currency Translation The functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at each reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Foreign currency translation differences are recognized in profit or loss, except for differences on the retranslation of available-for-sale instruments, which are recognized in other comprehensive loss. d) Exploration and Evaluation Properties Costs directly related to the exploration and evaluation of resource properties are capitalized once the legal rights to explore the resource properties are acquired or obtained. When the technical and commercial viability of a mineral resource have been demonstrated and a development decision has been made, the capitalized costs of the related property are transferred to mining assets and depreciated using the units of production method on commencement of commercial production. If it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs are not recoverable, or the property is abandoned or management has determined an impairment in value, the property is written down to its recoverable amount. Resource properties are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date. From time to time, the Company acquires or disposes of properties pursuant to the terms of option agreements. Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee and, accordingly, are recorded as mineral property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. After costs are recovered, the balance of the payments received are recorded as a gain on option or disposition of mineral property. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. 9 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) e) Impairment of Non-current Assets The Company’s tangible and intangible assets are reviewed for an indication of impairment at the end of each reporting period. If an indication of impairment exists, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. Individual assets are grouped for impairment assessment purposes at the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The recoverable amount of an asset group is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Where the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset group is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are adjusted for the risks specific to the asset group and are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized. f) Provision for Closure and Reclamation The Company recognizes liabilities for legal or constructive obligations associated with the retirement of resource properties and equipment. The net present value of future rehabilitation costs is capitalized to the related asset along with a corresponding increase in the rehabilitation provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. The Company’s estimates of reclamation costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to the related assets with a corresponding entry to the rehabilitation provision. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense. g) Income Taxes The Company uses the balance sheet method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred income tax assets also result from unused loss carry-forwards, resource related pools and other deductions. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. 10 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) h) Share-based Payments The Company has a stock option plan that is described in Note 6(c). Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards expected to vest. The offset to the recorded cost is to stock options reserve. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related stock options reserve is transferred to share capital. Charges for options that are forfeited before vesting are reversed from stock options reserve. i) Loss per Share Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the year. For all years presented, the loss available to common shareholders equals the reported loss. Diluted loss per share is calculated by the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. In the Company’s case, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as the effects of including all outstanding options and warrants would be anti-dilutive. j) Financial Instruments and Comprehensive Income i) Financial Assets The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: held-to-maturity, fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), loans and receivables, and available-for-sale (“AFS”). The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of financial assets at recognition. Held-to-maturity Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognized on a trade-date basis and are initially measured at fair value using the effective interest rate method. The Company has no assets classified as held-to- maturity. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) Financial assets at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through profit or loss. Cash is included in this category of financial assets. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Loans and receivables comprise amounts receivable. 11 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) j) Financial Instruments and Comprehensive Income Available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or not classified in any of the other financial asset categories. Changes in the fair value of AFS financial assets are recognized as other comprehensive income and classified as a component of equity. AFS assets include investments in marketable securities. Management assesses the carrying value of AFS financial assets at least annually and any impairment charges are also recognized in profit or loss. When financial assets classified as AFS are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in other comprehensive income are included in profit or loss. ii) Financial Liabilities The Company classifies its financial liabilities in the following category: Borrowings and other financial liabilities Borrowings and other financial liabilities are non-derivatives and are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts originally received, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss over the period to maturity using the effective interest method. Borrowings and other financial liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on their maturity date. Financial liabilities include trade payables and accrued liabilities, amounts due to joint venture partner and amounts due to related parties. iii) Fair Value Hierarchy Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows: 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 or indirectly. Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. k) Share Capital The Company records proceeds from share issuances, net of issue costs. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued based on their market value at the date the agreement to issue shares was concluded. 12 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) l) Valuation of Equity Units Issued in Private Placements Proceeds received on the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and warrants, are allocated first to common shares based on the market trading price of the common shares at the time the units are priced, and any excess is allocated to warrants. m) Accounting Standards Adopted, or Issued but not yet Effective The Company adopted no material new accounting standards during its current fiscal year, and is unaware of any applicable, but not-yet-adopted standards that are expected to materially affect the financial statements of future periods. n) Joint Arrangements The Company conducts exploration work jointly with other parties in joint ventures and other related legal entities in circumstances where neither party can be said to authoritatively control the entity. Such arrangements are considered, for accounting purposes, to be joint ventures when a separate legal entity exists and where the Company’s investment is substantially related only to the net assets of that entity. The Company’s interests in a joint venture are accounted for on the equity basis, reflective of the Company’s net investment at cost plus the Company’s proportionate share of the entity’s subsequent income, less its share of any losses incurred. In circumstances where the Company’s interest is considered to substantially relate to the development of a particular asset or assets, such an arrangement in considered to be a joint operation and the Company’s proportionate interest in the accounts of that entity are consolidated on a line by line basis with those of the Company in the financial statements of the Company. n) Comparative Figures Certain comparative figures have been reclassified in accordance with the current year’s presentation. 4. Investments In May 2018, the Company received 25,000 shares of Fireweed Zinc Ltd. (“Fireweed”) in connection with a mineral property option payment received for some of the Company’s Yukon mineral claims (Note 5b(v)). The Fireweed shares were valued at $37,750 at the time of acquisition and had a fair value of $22,500 as of October 31, 2018. Due to a decrease in the fair value of the Fireweed shares, the Company recorded an other comprehensive loss of $15,250 for the year ended October 31, 2018. 13 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 5.

Exploration and Evaluation Properties (continued) a) Palmer Project, Alaska USA i) Limited Liability Company Formed for Palmer Project In December 2016 Dowa Metals & Mining Co., Ltd. (“Dowa”) completed its option to earn a 49% interest in the Palmer Project, having completed US$22,000,000 in aggregate exploration expenditures on the project. A limited liability company (Constantine Mining LLC, or “CML”) was then formed at the end of June 2017 and began operating in July 2017, with the Company owning 51% and Dowa owning 49% of the new entity. The Company’s rights to the Palmer Property and a portion of the Haines Block land parcel (see below) have been assigned to CML. Under the terms of the CML members’ agreement, the Company is operator of CML and each party is responsible for its proportionate share of expenses, determined on the basis of ownership and subject to dilution according to standard dilution provisions. For accounting purposes, the Company’s investment in CML is considered to primarily relate to the continued advancement, with Dowa, of the Palmer property and the related elements of the Haines Block land parcel. Funding of CML by both venturers is on an ongoing cash-call basis, and accordingly the third-party assets, liabilities and expenses of CML, other than its mineral property interest, are expected to be relatively nominal at any point in time. Management’s judgement is that the fairest accounting presentation for this arrangement is to provide, as a priority, a clear continuity of the Company’s beneficial interest in the underlying property costs incurred. Accordingly, the Company’s interest in CML has been considered a joint operation and its 51% interest in the accounts of CML have been consolidated within its own financial statements on a line by line basis. The Company recovers, from CML, a 7% management fee on eligible expenditures incurred. On consolidation, this fee is accounted for as a property cost recovery to the extent of Dowa’s 49% share, and is offset against the Company’s recognition of the same amount recorded as a property cost. From a legal perspective, during the comparative year the Company disposed of certain directly-held property interests to CML in consideration for its interest in CML. There was material uncertainty associated with any attempt to measure the current fair value the Company’s 51% interest in CML, and accordingly the Company considered that that this transaction, having been completed with Dowa as the beneficial counterparty and only for purposes of further advancing the underlying exploration project, lacked commercial substance. On this basis, no gain or loss was recognized in respect to it and the Company accounted for its 51% joint venture interest at cost based on its associated historical exploration costs incurred. The continuity of the Company’s exploration costs incurred on these interests has therefore been maintained in the financial statement presentation. ii) Palmer Project The Palmer Project is comprised of 340 federal mining claims subject to a 99 year mining lease, dated December 19, 1997, and 63 state mining claims located near Haines, Alaska. To maintain the lease, there is a requirement to make annual advance royalty payments of US$42,500 and pay Federal claim annual maintenance fees, which were US$52,700 in 2018. The lease is subject to a 2.5% net smelter returns (“NSR”) royalty. CML has a right of first refusal to purchase the NSR or any portion thereof at any time during the term of the lease. The advance royalty payments are deductible from the NSR royalty. 17 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. Exploration and Evaluation Properties (continued) a) Palmer Project, Alaska USA (continued) iii) Haines Block Lease In 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority (the “Trust”) for the mineral exploration and development of an approximately 92,000 acre package of land (the “Haines Block”). There was a reduction in the size of the land package to 65,196 acres in 2017, in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement. The principal terms of the lease agreement are as follows: 1. Annual payments of US$25,000 per year for the initial 3 year lease term, US$40,000 for years 4 to 6, US$55,000 for years 7 through 9; 2. Work commitments of US$75,000 per year, escalating by US$50,000 annually; 3. Annual payments are replaced by royalty payments upon achieving commercial production; 4. Production royalties payable to the Trust include a sliding scale 1% to 4.5% royalty for gold, based on gold price, and a 3.5% royalty on minerals other than gold. The Haines Block is contiguous with and surrounds the Federal and State mining claims that make up the Palmer Property. A portion of the Haines Block land parcel with surface and mineral rights comprising approximately 3,483 acres, has been contributed to CML (Note 5a(i) and (iv)). iv) Haines Block Selection Agreement In July 2016, the Company signed a Selection Agreement (the “Selection Agreement”) with Dowa on the Haines Block mining lease, which terms have now been met or expired. Under the terms of the Selection Agreement, Dowa selected a small subset of the Haines Block (the “Selection Area”) including both surface and mineral rights, to become part of the Agreement. The remaining mineral rights of the Haines Block, representing approximately 96 percent of the total Haines Block land package, are 100 percent owned by the Company, and were subject to a Right of First Offer (“ROFO”) by Dowa, which expired on September 1, 2017. The main elements of the Selection Agreement were as follows: 1. Dowa selected a Haines Block land parcel with surface and mineral rights comprising approximately 3,483 acres, exclusive of all pre-existing federal claims, to be included as part of the Palmer Property joint venture. 2. The Company will maintain its 100% interest in the balance of the property of the Haines Block exclusive of the Selection Area and any exploration done in such area outside of the Selection Area will be at the Company’s expense. 3. The Company granted Dowa a ROFO on Haines Block lands located outside of the Selection Area for a 3 year period beginning as of September 1, 2014, which terminated on September 1, 2017. 18 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. Exploration and Evaluation Properties (continued) b) Gold Projects i) Johnson Tract Property, Alaska In June 2018, the Company signed a letter agreement (“Letter Agreement”) with Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (“CIRI”) for the lease rights to the 20,942 acre Johnson Tract property (the “Property”) located 200 kilometers southwest of Anchorage, in Southcentral Alaska. Commercial terms outlined in the non- binding Letter Agreement signed by the Company and CIRI include a 10-year lease with a renewal option, and annual lease payments of US$75,000 for years one through five, escalating to $150,000 from year six onwards, until production is achieved. Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Company may exercise its option to maintain the lease rights by incurring US$10 million in expenditures over the first 10 years, inclusive of at least US$7.5 million within the first 6 years. Upon completing such expenditure requirements and satisfying other lease conditions, the Company may renew the lease for an additional 5 years (11 through 15) by making annual lease payments of $150,000 per year (inflation adjusted) and completing an additional US$10 million in expenditures. The lease rights would be subject to CIRI’s “back-in” right to acquire a 15-25% interest in the lease rights, as well as an NSR on the base metals of 2-3% and a gold NSR ranging from 2.5% to 4.0%, depending on the price of gold at the time. The Company paid a US$25,000 non-refundable deposit upon signing of the Letter Agreement. As at October 31, 2018, a definitive agreement between the Company and CIRI has not been completed. ii) Munro-Croesus Property The Company owns 100% of the Munro-Croesus gold mineral property located 90 kilometers east of Timmins, Ontario, which includes the former Munro-Croesus gold mine. Under the terms of the original acquisition agreement, there is a 2% NSR production royalty payable on the property, of which 0.5% can be purchased by the Company for $1,000,000, with a right of first refusal on the remaining 1.5% NSR royalty. The Company transferred a portion of its Munro-Croesus claims to Lake Shore in connection with the sale of the Four Corners property to Lake Shore (Note 5b(v)), and allocated $440,512 of the proceeds on the transaction to the sale of Munro-Croesus mineral claims. The Company received one mineral claim from Lake Shore in connection with the Four Corners transaction (the Munro claim), which has been added to the Munro-Croesus claims. As at October 31, 2018, the Munro-Croesus property consists of 15 patented mining claims and leases and 2 staked claims. iii) Golden Mile Property In December 2016, the Company completed the earn-in obligations of an option agreement to acquire 100% of the Golden Mile property located in northern Ontario, Canada. The Company has made a total of $175,000 in cash payments and issued 180,000 shares to complete this acquisition. The Company has granted a 3% NSR to the previous owners of the property, of which 1/3 of the NSR may be purchased by the Company at any time for $1,000,000. The Company must make annual advance royalty payments of $10,000, commencing on December 10, 2017 (paid), which are deductible from future NSR payments. 19 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 5.

Under the terms of the agreement, in order to maintain its option and acquire the property the Company must make cash payments totaling $75,000 and issue 100,000 of its shares over a four year period. Upon completion of the full purchase price of cash and shares, the Company will make annual advance royalty payments of $10,000, commencing on December 15, 2024 and each year thereafter, until commercial productions commences. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has also granted the vendor a 2.5% NSR, of which, 1.0% can be purchased by the Company at any time for $750,000. The Company will retain the right of first refusal on the remaining 1.5% NSR. v) Yukon Land Position and Joint Venture The Company and Carlin Gold Corporation (“Carlin Gold”) control over 3,000 claims in the Mayo and Watson Lake Mining Districts, Yukon. The claims are distributed in twelve blocks that total approximately 65,000 hectares (250 square miles). In April 2016, the Company recorded a $858,218 writedown of the property to a carrying value of $1, based on an impairment review of the property for accounting purposes. In the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the Company recorded a write-off of $5,101 for expenditures incurred on its Yukon land position. In the year ended October 31, 2018, the Company recorded a write-off of $7,739 for expenditures incurred on its Yukon land position (2017-$5,101). Mineral Property Option Agreement with Fireweed Zinc Ltd. (“Fireweed”) In April 2018, the Company entered into a mineral property option agreement granting Fireweed an option to purchase a 100% interest in three properties totaling 624 claims in the Mac Pass area, Yukon. Total consideration for Fireweed to acquire a 100% interest in the properties includes the payment of an aggregate of $500,000 in cash and the issuance of 300,000 common shares in the capital of Fireweed, over three years. The subject claims were staked under the Constantine Carlin Joint Venture (“CCJV”), and all option payments and royalties will be split as to 50% payable to the Company and 50% payable to Carlin Gold Corporation. Under the terms of the Agreement, NSR rights will be retained by Constantine and Carlin Gold Corporation, consisting of a 0.5% NSR on base metals and silver and a 2.0% NSR on all other metals. An additional payment of $750,000 will be payable upon Fireweed producing an indicated resource of 2.0 million tonnes on the optioned properties. In May 2018, the Company received the first payment of cash and shares from Fireweed, consisting of $37,500 cash and 25,000 shares of Fireweed valued at $37,750 (Note 4). 20 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 5.

Management of Capital The Company manages its cash, common shares, stock options and warrants as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its exploration and evaluation properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject. There were no significant changes in the Company’s approach or the Company’s objectives and policies for managing its capital. 24 For the year ended October 31,20182017Consulting, administrative and technical fees paid or accrued to companies owned by directors82,150$ 38,039$ Consulting fees paid to officers205,975 187,013 Directors fees93,000 - Accounting and administration fees paid or accrued to a company 50% owned by an officer101,681 73,789 Share-based payments to key management159,996 139,210 642,802$ 438,051$ Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 8. Management of Capital (continued) The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. 9. Financial Instruments a) Financial Risk Management The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, available-for-sale investments, trade payables and amounts due to related parties. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, deposits, trade payables and amounts due to related parties approximate their book values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. b) Financial Instrument Risk Exposure The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument-related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes. Credit Risk The Company’s only exposure to credit risk is on its cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are with a Canadian Schedule 1 bank and a US bank for its subsidiary. The Company has no asset-backed commercial paper. Liquidity Risk The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash. A portion of the Company’s cash is invested in business accounts which are available on demand. Market Risk The only significant market risk exposure to which the Company is exposed is interest rate risk. The Company’s bank account earns interest income at variable rates. The fair value of its marketable securities portfolio is relatively unaffected by changes in short-term interest rates. The Company’s future interest income is exposed to short-term rates and fluctuations, however management does not consider this risk to be significant. Exchange Risk The Company’s significant operations are carried out in Canada and in Alaska, USA. As a result a portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, and trade payables are denominated in US dollars and are therefore subject to fluctuations in exchange rates. Management does not believe that the exchange risk is significant. 25 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended October 31, 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________________ 9.

During the months of December 2018 and January 2018, an aggregate of 1,312,500 stock options of the Company were exercised at a price of $0.28 each, resulting in the issuance of 1,312,500 shares of the Company and cash proceeds to the Company of $367,500. 28 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) General The information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, or MD&A, is intended to assist the reader in the understanding and assessment of the trends and significant changes in the results of operations and financial conditions of Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Constantine”). This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto, for the years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, and the MD&A of such financial statements, and other information relating to the Company on file with the Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This MD&A has taken into account information available up to and including February 20, 2019. Constantine is an exploration company engaged in the exploration and development of several mineral properties. Its principal project is a polymetallic (copper-zinc-gold-silver) massive sulphide advanced exploration project in southeast Alaska known as the Palmer Project. Constantine has gold exploration properties in Ontario and the Yukon and a letter agreement to acquire the high-grade Johnson Tract gold deposit in Alaska (see Highlights and Outlook below). The Company’s principal Ontario gold projects are the Golden Mile project in the Timmins, Ontario gold camp and the Munro-Croesus project, which includes the past-producing high-grade Croesus gold mine located east of the Timmins gold camp. The Company is a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol CEM and is quoted on the US Over-the-counter trading platform, OTCQB, moving to the OTCQX platform in Q2 2019. Historical results of operations and trends that may be inferred from the following discussions and analysis may not necessarily indicate future results from operations. The Company is currently engaged in exploration and development of mineral properties and does not have any source of revenue or operating assets, however the Company has generated cash flow from option earn-in agreements, from fees for management of option-joint venture exploration projects and from sale of available-for-sale investments. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete exploration, technical studies and, if warranted, development and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of properties. The amounts shown as mineral properties represent net costs to date and do not necessarily represent present or future values. Highlights and Outlook • Palmer Project Expanded South Wall-RW Zones Resource and the First AG Zone Mineral Resource - An updated South Wall and RW mineral resource estimate for the Palmer Copper- Zinc-Gold-Silver Project was released on September 27, 2018. Subsequent to that, a December 2018 announcement included a maiden AG Zone discovery Inferred Resource consisting of 4.24 million tonnes of 4.64% zinc, 0.12% copper, 0.96% lead, 119.5g/t silver, 0.53 g/t gold and 34.8% barite. The Palmer project resource now contains 4.68 million tonnes Indicated grading 5.23% zinc, 1.49% copper, 30.8g/t silver, 0.30g/t gold, 23.9% barite plus the expanded Inferred Resource of 9.6 million tonnes at 4.95% zinc, 0.59% copper, 0.43 % lead, 69.3 g/t silver, 0.39g/t gold, 27.7% barite. 1 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) • 2018 Palmer Exploration Program – Constantine completed a 10,094 meter drill program with two drill rigs in 2018. Seven holes tested and expanded the South Wall Zone and 16 holes tested and expanded the AG Zone, a new silver-gold-zinc rich discovery made in 2017. The 2018 AG Zone drill results were incorporated into the maiden AG Zone resource estimate reported in December 2018. Four holes that tested the Boundary prospect intersected the targeted horizon with promising geology, alteration and low-grade mineralization. Road access to the site of a proposed exploration portal on the Haines Block Mental Health Trust lease was also completed as part of the 2018 work program. • Palmer Metallurgical Improvements – 2018 metallurgical test results demonstrated that a premium-quality barite concentrate could be produced as a co-product at the Palmer Copper- Zinc-Gold-Silver Project. The results also indicated improved zinc recoveries from 84.5% to 93% with a concentrate grade of 61.3%, and confirmed previous good recoveries of 89% for copper to good quality marketable zinc and copper concentrates. Combined total silver and gold recovery to copper and zinc concentrates are 90.6% and 69.6%, respectively, the large majority of which reports to the copper concentrate. These metallurgical results were used to update the Palmer Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) formula and validate inclusion of barite in the new 2018 resource estimates. • 2018 Palmer Preliminary Economic Study (“PEA”) - JDS Energy & Mining Inc. (“JDS”) was engaged in late August 2018 to prepare a PEA of the potential viability of the mineral resources at the Palmer Copper-Zinc-Gold-Silver Project. The Company has also engaged Klohn Crippen Berger Ltd. (“KCB”) to complete the water and waste management design components for the PEA. The study will be based on the new resource estimates completed in September and December 2018. • Letter Agreement for Johnson Tract Gold Property in Alaska – In June 2018, the Company announced it had signed a non-binding Letter Agreement with Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (“CIRI”), an Alaskan Native Corporation, for the lease rights to the 20,942 acre high grade Johnson Tract gold-zinc property located near tidewater, 200 kilometers southwest of Anchorage, Southcentral Alaska. This property includes the very high-grade Johnson Tract Au-Ag-Zn-Cu-Pb deposit along with excellent exploration potential indicated by several other prospects over a 12 km strike length. The Johnson Tract drill discovery made by Anaconda in 1982 (pre NI 43-101) reported 102.6 meters grading 10.94 g/t gold, 8.01% zinc, 0.75% copper, 2.13% lead and 8.5 g/t silver, including 50 meters grading 20.0 g/t gold, 9.4% zinc, 1.0% copper, 2.8% lead and 12.7 g/t silver. The Johnson Tract acquisition will be a “flagship” addition to the Company’s gold portfolio and has the potential to add fundamental value to a planned spinout of the Company’s gold assets. The Lease Agreement is being finalized and a NI 43-101 report is being prepared on the pre-1995 historic assay result data. • $10,000,000 Private Placement – A $10,000,000 private placement was completed in July 2018. The financing was preceded by a 4:1 share consolidation on May 18, 2018. 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) Expanded South Wall-RW Zones Resource and the first AG Zone Mineral Resource on Palmer Project In the September 2018 South Wall – RW Zone resource estimate (Table 1, below), the previous Inferred Resource was expanded and upgraded to an Indicated Resource of 4.68 million tonnes grading 5.23% zinc, 1.49% copper, 30.8g/t silver, 0.30g/t gold, 23.9% barite plus an expanded Inferred Resource of 5.34 million tonnes at 5.20% zinc, 0.96% copper, 29.2 g/t silver, 0.28g/t gold, 22.0% barite. Subsequent to the September release, a December 2018 resource included a maiden AG Zone discovery Inferred Resource (Table 2, below) consisting of 4.24 million tonnes of 4.64% zinc, 0.12% copper, 0.96% lead, 119.5g/t silver, 0.53 g/t gold and 34.8% barite. The total Palmer project resource now stands at 4.68 million tonnes Indicated grading 5.23% zinc, 1.49% copper, 30.8g/t silver, 0.30g/t gold, 23.9% barite and 9.6 million tonnes Inferred at 4.95% zinc, 0.59% copper, 0.43 % lead, 69.3 g/t silver, 0.39g/t gold, 27.7% barite. The resource now reports barite mineralization for the Palmer deposit, that based on metallurgical and market studies, highlights the opportunity for barite to contribute value as an industrial mineral co- product. Table 1. Total Mineral Resource for the Palmer Project (all deposits) Notes: 1. See NI 43-101 technical report filed on SEDAR dated January 31, 2019. 2. Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) equals (US$16.01 x Zn% + US$48.67 x Cu% + US$23.45 x Au g/t + US$0.32 x Ag g/t).

The 2018 program saw the completion of the road access to a proposed future portal site on the Haines Block Mental Health Trust lease land. The 10,094 meter drill program was completed by the latter part of September 2018. South Wall Drilling Three South Wall drill holes tested the western extension of the zone, following-up on the positive results of last season. Hole CMR18-108 intersected 15.5 meters grading 1.6% copper and 4.8% zinc approximately 50 meters west and 50 meters down-dip of CMR17-97, which intersected 14.5 meters of 1.9% copper and 7.5% zinc (see Constantine news release dated October 2, 2017). The results expand the zone to the west and confirm continuity of grade and width to the west and down-plunge toward the deeper South Wall EM zone. One hole tested for the fault offset of the down dip South Wall and three holes tested for the shallow up-dip northeast edge of Zone 2. 4 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) AG Zone Drilling The AG Zone is a new deposit discovered in 2017 located three kilometers southwest from the main South Wall mineral resource, and relatively close to existing road infrastructure. The significant precious metal mineralization observed at AG Zone is characteristic of other Late Triassic volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) deposits in the region such as Greens Creek, one of the largest and lowest cost primary silver mines in the world. A total of 16 holes targeted the AG Zone in 2018. The large step-outs very quickly expanded the total known extent of the mineralization and the results have been incorporated into the maiden AG Zone Inferred Resource released in December 2018. A highlight AG zone step-out hole of the 2018 season was CMR18-110 with 43.3 meters grading 143 g/t silver, 0.5 g/t gold, 6.5% zinc, 2.5% lead that includes 28.8 meters grading 141 g/t silver, 0.5 g/t gold, 9.0% zinc, 3.5% lead. The zone remains open to further expansion along strike and to depth. New Prospects Drilling The 2018 drilling program included testing one of several previously untested property-wide exploration targets. The Boundary Prospect that hosts numerous surface occurrences of high-grade mineralization was tested with four holes from one drill pad location. The Company is encouraged by the promising geological setting, alteration and low-grade mineralization encountered in this initial exploration drilling that shares similarities with the AG Zone and RW Zone. Palmer Metallurgical Improvements The test work quantified the recovery of barite, a mineral that is abundant within the high-grade copper- zinc resource at Palmer. This was important to determine because the barite would otherwise become waste generated in the production of copper and zinc concentrates. However, if commercially viable, removal would significantly reduce the quantity of tailings. Results were also reported for copper-zinc flotation work and grindability tests that confirm and enhance the attractive mineral processing characteristics produced by previous metallurgical test work. This includes a significant improvement in zinc recoveries to 93.1% to a concentrate grading 61.3% zinc, and high recoveries for copper with silver and gold reporting mainly to the copper concentrate. Highlights of Barite Test Results: • Barite recovery of 91.1% to a clean, high-grade barite concentrate with a high Specific Gravity (SG) of 4.44, • Produced barite concentrate meets all specifications for oilfield drilling grade barite, including specific gravity, particle size, and purity, and appears to be a market-ready product, and • Simple flowsheet with barite recovered by flotation from the tails of copper and zinc flotation. Highlights of Copper-Zinc Test Results: • Very high zinc recovery of 93.1% to a concentrate grading 61.3% zinc; an improvement in recovery of 8.2% and an increase in zinc concentrate grade over previous locked cycle tests, • High copper recoveries of 88.9% to a concentrate grading 24.5% copper; reproducing similar results to previous locked cycle tests • Combined total silver and gold recovery to copper and zinc concentrates of 90.6% and 69.6% respectively, the large majority of which reports to the copper concentrate, and 5 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) • Grindability tests indicate a low Bond Work Index of 6.3 kWh/tonne, which is considered very soft, and therefore will have low grinding cost and power consumption. Barite Market Study A barite market study has been completed for the Palmer Project that supports the potential economics of recovering barite as a saleable commodity. In addition to estimating wholesale price and size of North American drilling-grade barite markets, the study also assessed the logistics and cost of transportation. The majority of the estimated 3 million tonnes of barite consumed each year in the United States is imported from overseas. The Palmer Project is expected to have a significant competitive advantage due to its location in North America, proximity to deep tidewater and highway systems, and low production costs because the barite would be a co-product of copper and zinc production that would already being mined and milled. Barite content within the 2018 resources averages 22 to 35% by weight within the sulphide mineralization and may have some economic enhancement for the Project. With the new metallurgical data demonstrating that barite is recoverable in a saleable form, barite is now modelled and reported along with copper, zinc, silver and gold in the new September 27, 2018 and December 18, 2018 mineral resource estimates. 2018 Palmer Preliminary Economic Study In August 2018, the Company announced that it selected JDS Energy & Mining Inc. (“JDS”) to prepare a preliminary economic assessment of the potential viability of the mineral resources at the Palmer Copper-Zinc-Gold-Silver Project and engaged Klohn Crippen Berger Ltd. (“KCB”) to complete the water and waste management design components. JDS and KCB are both highly skilled and reputable companies, and their work is supported by Company personnel and other key technical consultants. Johnson Tract Gold Deposit, Alaska The Johnson Tract deposit is a gold and base metal rich quartz vein stockwork in Jurassic-aged volcaniclastic rocks. Mineralization floor setting contemporaneous with the host stratigraphy – a similar age and environment to the well-known precious and base metal-rich Eskay Creek deposit. Past work includes eighty-eight (88) drill holes for a total of 26,840 meters, and major engineering and mining related studies by Westmin Resources Ltd. that evaluated direct shipping ore to their Premier mill in Stewart, BC. The Project reverted back to the Cook Inlet Region, Incorporated (“CIRI”) in the late 1990’s and has seen no work in over 20 years. in a sub-sea interpreted to have formed is Historical metallurgical testing (pre NI 43-101) on drill core samples have generally indicated that good recoveries can be expected and predicted marketable concentrates with very good gold recoveries. The Johnson Tract quartz stockwork deposit is dominated by zinc mineralization with exceptional gold values. One of the discovery holes drilled in 1982 has a mineralized interval of 102.6 meters, assaying 10.94 g/t gold, 8.01% zinc, 0.75% copper, 2.13% lead and 8.49 g/t silver, including a subinterval of 14.0 meters assaying 59.09 g/t gold, 9.81% zinc, 0.88% copper, 3.12% lead and 18.23 g/t silver. This drill hole and selected others in the Johnson Tract deposit is provided in Table 3 below. 6 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) Table 3: Some Selected Johnson Tract Deposit Intersections** from(m) to(m) L(m) Au(g/t) Zn(%) Cu(%) Pb(%) Ag(g/t) 194.0 155.4 190.0 198.0 182.0 178.5 178.5 228.0 246.7 257.6 277.5 303.2 294.4 150.0 155.0 155.0 140.8 187.0 143.9 179.0 244.0 258.0 240.0 212.0 218.0 224.3 188.4 246.6 318.1 266.5 290.6 314.4 318.4 249.7 168.0 158.0 253.0 195.0 236.5 188.0 50.0 102.6 50.0 14.0 36.0 45.8 9.9 18.6 71.4 8.9 13.1 11.2 24.0 99.7 13.0 3.0 112.2 8.0 92.6 9.0 2.14 10.94 20.01 59.09 13.41 9.07 40.65 6.32 20.94 88.48 19.10 29.15 7.26 10.07 28.05 78.16 10.34 39.22 9.17 51.60 10.23 8.01 9.43 9.81 2.01 7.54 24.76 19.60 5.21 9.21 7.16 3.69 2.15 6.34 3.68 3.10 5.01 9.61 3.03 6.94 0.56 0.75 1.01 0.88 0.41 0.90 1.80 0.47 1.23 5.61 1.36 0.52 0.28 0.90 1.50 1.10 0.66 1.10 0.71 3.04 1.18 2.13 2.78 3.12 0.20 0.20 0.01 0.24 1.51 0.12 4.07 1.61 0.36 1.27 1.39 0.44 1.48 2.45 1.44 0.88 7.01 8.49 12.66 18.23 3.57 6.72 11.52 10.12 9.81 22.12 11.07 8.66 3.29 6.68 10.81 13.83 6.35 12.73 6.63 22.21 Hole No. JR82-3 JR82-4 includes includes JR82-7 JR83-12 includes JR84-28 JR88-34 includes includes includes JR90-42 JR93-65 includes includes JR93-68 includes JR93-69 includes There are at least nine other prospect areas of alteration and mineralization to the southeast and north of the Johnson Tract deposit over an approximate 12 kilometer strike length, most of which have seen little or no drilling. Best known is the Difficult Creek prospect area that consists of several surface showings about 4.5 kilometers northeast of the Johnson Tract deposit. One of the Difficult Creek prospects that was previously drill tested returned significant values in 2 holes: DC-001 returned 3 meters of 7.54 g/t gold, 3.72% zinc, 0.11% copper, 1.15% lead and 27.4 g/t silver; DC-02 returned 13.0 meters of 8.57 g/t gold, 4.7% zinc, 0.5% copper, 0.9% lead and 37.7 g/t silver. **Drill results have been compiled from historical reports, drill logs, and databases from previous work on the property by Anaconda Minerals Company, Westmin Resources Ltd. and others. The work was completed prior to the introduction of NI 43- 101 regulations; quality assurance and quality control procedures are unknown. Reported intersections are drilled width; information on true width is currently unavailable. About the Johnson Tract Property The 20,942 acre Property consists of two parts: (1) a 11,342 acre fee simple land package (South Tract) that hosts the known deposit and (2) the 9,600 acre North Tract consisting of mineral rights only with several known high grade prospects. The Johnson Tract property is an inholding in Lake Clark National Park and the property was conveyed to CIRI under the terms of the Alaskan Native Claims Settlement Act (ANSCA) and the Cook Inlet Land Exchange. Ratified by an act of Congress and approved by the Alaska 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) Legislature in 1976, CIRI is entitled to mutually agreed upon transportation and port easements through Park lands for mineral extraction. Letter Agreement Terms Constantine and CIRI aim to finalize terms of a 10-year lease with a renewal option as soon as practicable. Commercial terms outlined in the non-binding letter agreement signed by Constantine and CIRI include annual lease payments of $75,000 for years one through five, escalating to $150,000 from year six onwards, until production is achieved. Constantine may exercise its option to maintain the lease rights by incurring US$10.0 million in expenditures over the first 10 years with at least US$7.5 million within the first 6 years. Upon completing these expenditure requirements and satisfying other lease conditions, Constantine may renew the lease for an additional 5 years (11 through 15) by making annual lease payments of $150,000/year (inflation adjusted) and completing an additional US$10 million in expenditures. Upon completion of a feasibility study and a decision to construct a mine, CIRI has the one-time right to back-in to the project and participate to a maximum 25% interest. CIRI will also receive NSR royalties of 2% to 3% on base metals and a gold price adjusted NSR royalty of 2.5% to 4%. 2018 Project Activity All the historic work on the project pre-dates NI 43-101 reporting requirements. Initial work is being directed to compiling this data into digital format and producing a NI 43-101 report that will document the historical exploration and provide recommendations to guide future exploration. 2018 activity included: 1) Initiating the collection and compiling of all the historic technical hard copy data into a functional digital format. 2) Upgrading the condition of the existing camp, equipment and airstrip in preparation for a 2019 exploration program. 3) Completing a high precision GPS survey control check on drill hole collar locations and historic survey control stations. 4) Re-logging and re-sampling portions of selected drill holes to confirm previous sampling results. All the historic drill cores are stored in secure containers at the camp site. Initial scoping of the surface geology and access routes. 5) $10,000,000 Private Placement In July 2018, the Company closed a $10,000,000 private placement. The financing was completed in two tranches, totaling of 14,705,881 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.68 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $10,000,000 that was preceded by a 4:1 share consolidation that became effective on May 18, 2018. The Units were placed with strategic investors, existing shareholders and insiders. The financing included significant investment by the Electrum Strategic Opportunities Fund II L.P. (“Electrum”), an investment fund managed by The Electrum Group LLC, and by Altius Minerals Corporation and Mr. John Tognetti, a major shareholder and insider. Each Unit consisted of one share and one transferable share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $1.00 per share for a period of five years. Under the terms of its unit purchase agreement with the Company, Electrum has certain pre-emptive rights on future 8 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) financings. As well, Electrum was given 2 board seat nominations which were filled by Stuart Harshaw and Richard Williams. Summary of Base Metal Project (Palmer Property) Palmer is an advanced stage, high-grade VMS project, with an Indicated Resource of 4,677,000 tonnes grading 5.23% zinc, 1.49% copper, 30.8 g/t silver, 0.30 g/t gold, 23.9% barite and 9,594,000 million tonnes Inferred at 4.95% zinc, 0.59% copper, 0.43 % lead, 69.3 g/t silver, 0.39g/t gold, 27.7% barite. The Project is being advanced in partnership with Dowa, who have earned 49% in the project by completing aggregate expenditures of US$22 million over four years at the end of 2016. Since that time Dowa and Constantine have advanced the project by funding on a 49%/51% basis respectively. The Palmer project is located in a very accessible part of coastal southeast Alaska, with road access on the property to the immediate South Wall deposit area and is within 60 kilometers of the year-round deep sea port of Haines. Mineralization at Palmer occurs within the same belt of rocks that is host to the Greens Creek mine, one of the world’s richest VMS deposits. There are at least 25 separate base metal and/or barite occurrences and prospects on the Palmer property, indicating the potential for discovery of multiple deposits beyond the RW-South Wall deposit area. Summary of Gold Projects Constantine controls a 100% interest in the core Munro Croesus gold mine property and the Golden Mile property, that collectively represent a land position with high potential in the prolific Timmins gold camp in Ontario. The Munro Croesus project, which includes the famous high-grade past-producing Croesus Gold Mine, is located along the north side of the Pipestone Fault and within the Porcupine Destor Fault zone corridor approximately 75 kilometers east of the center of the Timmins gold camp. The large (68 square kilometers) Golden Mile property is in the Timmins gold camp, nine kilometers northeast of Goldcorp’s multimillion ounce Hoyle Pond Mine, and is strategically located at the intersection of the projection of the Timmins camp giant mine corridor with the Pipestone fault. The Company further increased its Ontario portfolio of mineral properties by recently acquiring an option to earn a 100% interest in the Golden Perimeter property, consisting of 561 claims in the Timmins area. In Alaska, the Company holds a 100% interest in the portion of the Haines Block Lease property that covers areas upland of the active Porcupine placer gold district that has estimated past production of 82,489 ounces. Other gold assets include a 50/50 Joint Venture formed in 2010 with Carlin Gold Corporation exploring a large land position in a new Carlin-type gold district in Yukon. The recently announced acquisition of the Johnson Tract high grade gold-zinc property in Southcentral Alaska described in the highlights section above is a “flagship” addition to the Company’s gold portfolio and should add fundamental value to a planned spinout of the Company’s gold assets once a lease agreement is finalized and NI 43-101 report is completed on the pre-1995 historic data. 9 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) Results of Operations The Company recorded a net loss of $939,466 for the year ended October 31, 2018 (2017-$2,377,178 net income). Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures In the year ended October 31, 2018, the Company recorded expenditures of $6,121,200 on exploration and evaluation properties. The Palmer Project accounted for $5,260,866 of those expenditures. During the year ended October 31, 2018, the Company made cash contributions totaling $6,518,685 to maintain its 51% interest in the Palmer Project joint venture. During the year, the Company also incurred costs of $760,459 (2017-Nil) on the acquisition and initial field work of the new Johnson Tract project in Alaska. Note on Palmer Project Joint Venture Accounting Effective July 1, 2017, the Company began accounting for the Palmer Project joint venture as a joint operation for accounting purposes, and only 51% of the exploration expenditures on the Palmer Project joint venture are included in the Company’s financial statements since that date. Operating Costs The Company recorded net cash operating expenses of $773,824 for the year ended October 31, 2018, compared to cash operating costs of $813,794 for the previous year. Consulting costs ($141,063) were higher than the previous year ($55,404) as a result of increased costs related to new acquisitions. Legal costs for 2018 ($8,823) showed a marked reduction compared to the previous year ($422,846), which were high in 2017 due to: (a) one-time transaction costs on the asset sale to Lake Shore Gold Corp.; and, (b) organizational costs incurred on the start of the Palmer Project joint venture. General and administrative costs were higher in the year ended October 31, 2018 primarily due to increased expenditures on conferences, trade shows and advertising, which doubled from $48,917 in 2017 to $100,448 in 2018. The Company is continuing to expand its effort in this area and these costs are expected to continue to increase in the coming year. A breakdown of total general and administrative costs for the year ended October 31, 2018 is shown in the table below: 10 `General and Administrative expenses for the year ended October 31, 2018AmountConferences, trade shows and advertising $ 100,448 Accounting and administration40,317Office expenses26,255Transfer agent, listing and filing fees36,129Total $ 203,149 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) Annual Financial Information Selected annual financial information for the three years ended October 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 are as follows: At October 31, Loss before other items Net income (loss) for the year Income (loss) per share Total assets Total liabilities Total shareholders’ equity Summary of Quarterly Results 2018 $ (988,911) (939,466) (0.03) 25,379,934 460,953 24,918,981 2017 $ (1,027,927) 2,377,178 0.08 16,516,869 553,519 15,963,350 2016 $ (637,325) (618,003) (0.04) 13,704,263 332,224 13,372,039 In the three months ended October 31, 2018, the Company recorded a net loss of $116,492 (2017- $157,083). The Company recorded cash operating costs of $136,277 for the quarter, compared to cash operating costs of $256,481 for the same quarter last year. Operating costs were offset by a $28,026 gain on foreign exchange during the quarter. Prior year operating costs were higher due to transaction and organization costs, as described in the Operating Costs section above. In the three months ended October 31, 2018, the Company incurred aggregate expenditures of $3,195,108 on exploration and evaluations properties, the majority of which ($2,518,338) was incurred on the Palmer Project, the Company’s main operational focus during the year. The following is a summary of certain consolidated financial information of the Company for the past eight quarters: Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company is not in commercial production on any of its mineral properties and accordingly, it does not generate cash from operations.

The Company and Dowa are responsible for funding the cash requirements of the Palmer Project joint venture, based on their 51:49 interests. As at October 31, 2018, the Company has made aggregate cash contributions to the Palmer Project joint venture totaling US$7,311,625. The Company's cash position at October 31, 2018 was $4,307,962 (2017-$1,780,392) and its working capital was $4,204,181 (2017-$1,474,298). In July 2018, the Company completed a $10,000,000 private placement. The Company incurred cash financing costs of $304,740 in connection with the private placement. The proceeds of the private placement were originally announced as intended for the Palmer project and general corporate purposes. As a result of signing a letter of intent to acquire a lease interest in the Johnston Tract property, management determined it to be in the best interests of the Company to utilize a portion of the private placement proceeds for continued acquisition and due diligence costs plus camp restoration work. A total of $760,459 was incurred on the Johnson Tract property in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018. The Company is dependent on equity capital to fund exploration and development of exploration properties and its on-going operations. The Company projects that it will require additional equity capital in the coming year to continue to fund its portion of the Palmer Project joint venture and other exploration work as may be determined by the Company’s management. At this time, the Company has no material contractual commitments for capital expenditures. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Management of Capital The Company manages its cash, common shares and stock options as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. In order to maximize ongoing exploration efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s investment policy is to keep its cash treasury on deposit in an interest bearing Canadian chartered bank account. 13 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) Summary of Outstanding Shares Data On May 18, 2018, the Company consolidated outstanding share capital on the basis of four pre- consolidated shares for one post-consolidated share.

Additionally, it is management’s responsibility to ensure the Company complies with the laws and regulations applicable to its activities. The Company’s management is held accountable to the Board of Directors (“Directors”), each member of which is elected annually by the shareholders of the Company. The Directors are responsible for reviewing and approving the annual audited financial statements and MD&A. Responsibility for the review and approval of the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements and MD&A is delegated by the Directors to the Audit Committee, which is comprised of three directors, two of whom are independent of management. Additionally, the Audit Committee pre-approves audit and non-audit services provided by the Company’s auditors. 14 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) The auditors are appointed annually by the shareholders to conduct an audit of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The external auditors have complete access to the Audit Committee to discuss the audit, financial reporting and related matters resulting from the annual audit as well as assist the members of the Audit Committee in discharging their corporate governance responsibilities. Risk Factors Companies operating in the mining industry face many and varied kind of risks. While risk management cannot eliminate the impact of all potential risks, the Company strives to manage such risks to the extent possible and practical. Following are the risk factors most applicable to the Company. Financial The Company has not generated any revenue since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at October 31, 2018, the Company has incurred significant losses since inception and has an accumulated operating deficit of $7,706,052. The continuation and long-term viability of the Company remains dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. Industry Exploring and developing mineral resource projects bears a high potential for all manner of risks. Additionally, few exploration projects successfully achieve development due to factors that cannot be predicted or foreseen. Moreover, even one such factor may result in the economic viability of a project being detrimentally impacted such that it is not feasible or practical to proceed. The Company monitors its risk based activities and periodically employs experienced consulting, engineering, insurance and legal advisors to assist in its risk management reviews. Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. Metal Prices The principal activity of the Company is the exploration and development of precious metal and base metal resource properties. The feasible development of such properties is highly dependent upon the price of gold, silver, copper lead and zinc. A sustained and substantial decline in precious metal and base metal commodity prices could result in the write-down, termination of exploration and development work or loss of its interests in identified resource properties. Although such prices cannot be forecasted with certainty, the Company carefully monitors factors which could affect precious metal and base metal commodity prices in order to assess the feasibility of its resource projects. 15 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) Political Risk The resource properties on which the Company is actively pursuing its exploration and development activities are located in Alaska, USA, Yukon and Ontario, Canada. While the political climate in Alaska, Yukon, British Columbia and Ontario is considered by the Company to be stable, there can be no assurances that this will continue indefinitely. To alleviate such risk, the Company funds its operations on an as-needed basis. The Company does not presently maintain political risk insurance for its foreign exploration projects. Environmental Exploration and development projects are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of the state of Alaska and of the United States of America (Palmer project and Johnson Tract) and the environmental laws and regulations of Canada and the province of Ontario (Munro-Croesus and Golden Mile projects). As such laws are subject to change, the Company monitors proposed and potential changes and management believes the Company remains in compliance with current environmental regulations in the relevant jurisdictions. On the Palmer project, reclamation of disturbances related to the Company’s permitted exploration activities are bonded under the Alaska State-wide Bond Pool. The Company has also contracted an ASTM Phase 1 environmental site assessment (ESA) on the federal lode mining claims of the Palmer project. The ESA concluded that there are no environmental concerns associated with the Property at this time. The Munro Croesus project includes the very small past producing Munro Croesus Gold Mine that mined approximately 5000 tons of ore. The Company has assumed the environmental liability at the Croesus minesite on the Munro Croesus property. To date it has not incurred any material expenses, however it does remain an uncertain liability. The Ontario government requires a closure plan if the claims are abandoned or become inactive and the closure plan will require some water sampling and site reclamation costs. The previous owner completed remediation of what the Company considers to be the major liabilities, which included capping the Walsh and Croesus shafts. The Croesus minesite was visited by a mines inspector in September 2010 and an inspection report received from the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry (Ontario) in early 2011. The summary of field observations and recommendations in the Inspection Report are near surface stope stability concerns and recommendation for a crown pillar stability assessment. There is a specific near-term recommendation to secure the location of a small raise to surface that is filled with waste rock with a fence and signs and this remedial action has been taken. The small raise area was fenced and cautionary signage was installed. A preliminary evaluation of the near surface stope stability and a crown pillar stability assessment was completed by a qualified engineer, independent of the Company. The initial conclusion based on historic data and new information from drill data through the old workings and the recent excavation work is that the “old workings will stand for a long time” and that “surface subsidence would be minimal at the down- dip edge of the zone and could be as much as 1 meter near the upper edge.” Now that the crown pillar is exposed, a site visit by a qualified Ontario mining engineer is required with formal reporting of the conclusions to be made to the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry (Ontario). Surface water samples upstream and downstream of the site have been recommended to determine water quality issues. No specific schedule has been established to carry out this work. 16 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) Operational Exploration development projects require third party contractors for the execution of certain activities. The availability and cost of third party contractors is subject to a competitive environment for their use, which is beyond the control of the Company. Cyber security risk Cyber security risk is the risk of negative impact on the operations and financial affairs of the Company due to cyber-attacks, destruction or corruption of data, and breaches of its electronic systems. Management believes that it has taken reasonable and adequate steps to mitigate the risk of potential damage to the Company from such risks. The Company also relies on third-party service providers for the storage and processing of various data. A cyber security incident against the Company or its service providers could result in the loss of business sensitive, confidential or personal information as well as violation of privacy and security laws, litigation and regulatory enforcement and costs. The Company has not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, however there can be no assurance that it will not incur such losses in the future. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meets its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is limited to the carrying amount on the balance sheet and arises from the Company’s cash and receivables. The Company’s cash is held primarily through a Canadian chartered bank, which is a high-credit quality financial institution. The credit risk in receivables is considered low by management as it consists primarily of amounts owing for Canadian government sales tax credits. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. At October 31, 2018, the Company had a total cash balance of $4,307,962 to settle current liabilities of $460,953. All financial liabilities (except accrued liabilities) have maturities of 30 days or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms. Market risk Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Interest rate risk The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term certificates of deposits issued by its banking institutions. The 17 Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended October 31, 2018 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. Foreign currency rate risk The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is insignificant and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk. Sensitivity analysis The carrying value of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties closely approximate their fair values in view of the relatively short periods to maturities of these financial instruments. Based on management’s knowledge of and experience in the financial markets, management does not believe that the Company’s current financial instruments will be materially affected by credit risk, liquidity risk or market risk.
