OVERVIEW Tsodilo Resources Limited (“Tsodilo” or the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario in 1996 and continued under the laws of the Yukon in 2002. It is incorporated under laws of the Yukon Territory, Canada, under the Business Corporations Act of Yukon and the address of the Company’s registered office is 161 Bay Street, P.O. Box 508 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2S1. The Company currently exists under the Business Corporations Act of Yukon and its common shares are listed on the Canadian TSX Venture Stock Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol TSD. Tsodilo is an exploration stage company which is engaged principally in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in the Republics of Botswana and South Africa. The Company is considered to be in the exploration and development stage given that none of its properties are in production and, to date, has not earned any significant revenues. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the renewal of exploration licenses, obtaining the necessary permits to operate a mine, obtaining the financing to complete exploration and development, and future profitable production. Outstanding Share Data As of May 31, 2022, 49,499,581 common shares of the Company were outstanding. Of the options to purchase common shares issued to eligible persons under the stock option plan of the Company, 2,990,750 options are outstanding of which 2,472,000 are exercisable at exercise prices ranging from CAD $0.07 - $0.75.

The prospecting license was renewed for an additional two-year period commencing October 1, 2017 and a second two-year renewal application was granted effective October 1, 2019. Bosoto received a two-year extension of the license from the Ministry of Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security (“MMGE”) for PL369/2014 commencing October 1, 2021. The diamondiferous BK16 kimberlite pipe is located within the Orapa Kimberlite Field (” OKF”) in Botswana and covered by ~25 meters (m) of Kalahari Group sediments. BK16 is located 37 kilometers (km) east-southeast of the Orapa Diamond Mine AK01, 25 km southeast of the Damtshaa Diamond Mine, and 13 km north-northeast of the Letlhakane Diamond Mine, all operated by Debswana and 28 km east-northeast from Lucara Diamond Corporation's Karowe Mine (AK6). 3The OKF contains at least 83 kimberlite bodies, varying in size from insignificant dykes to the 110 hectares (ha) AK01 kimberlite pipe. Ages of emplacement are Cretaceous and range from 111 Ma for Lethlakane-DK01 (Letlhakane Mine) to 85 Ma for Orapa-AK01, representing a protracted period of kimberlite magmatism lasting approximately 20 million years. Of the 83 known kimberlite bodies, eleven (11), AK01, AK02, AK07 (Orapa, Debswana); AK06 (Karowe, Lucara Diamond Corporation); BK01, BK09, BK12 and BK15 (Damtshaa, Debswana); DK01 and DK02 (Letlhakane, Debswana); and BK11 (Firestone Diamonds) are currently being or have been mined. In July 2016, TRBL completed a share repurchase and royalty fee agreement with Bosoto’s minority shareholders. The minority shareholders’ 25% equity interest was purchased for a 2% gross proceeds royalty derived from the sale of diamonds mined from Bosoto’s BK16 kimberlite project. The result of this transaction resulted in Tsodilo having a 100% interest in Bosoto and its BK16 exploration project. Summary of Work Performed as at December 31, 2021 The diamondiferous BK16 kimberlite pipe is approximately six (6) hectares in size at surface and is known to contain rare and valuable Type IIa diamonds. A mini-bulk sampling program was undertaken to obtain an initial determination of the quality and value of the BK16 diamonds. This was successfully undertaken via fourteen (14) 24-inch Large Diameter Drilling (LDD) totaling 3,121 meters. 2,077 tonnes (callipered) of kimberlite were extracted. From this extraction, 243 individual bulk samples were processed at the Company's dense media separation (DMS) plant ahead of X-Ray diamond separation and final hand sorting at the Company's secure recovery unit. The diamond recovery resulted in 509 diamonds weighing 78.403 carats which were studied for value and size frequency distribution (SFD) modelling to model the SFD of the BK16 kimberlite which showed the following: ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ successfully demonstrated the potential of the BK16 kimberlite to host high value diamonds between US$ 281 to US$ 792 per carat, see Table 2; successfully confirmed the presence of Type IIa diamonds where 3.8% of the diamonds were identified as high-quality Type IIa diamonds consisting predominantly of D color stones; a Size Frequency Distribution study (SFD) of the diamonds recovered from the LDD samples indicates that the size distribution of BK16 could be coarser than several producers in southern Africa. There are indications that BK16 could have a broadly similarly coarse shaped size distribution to that of the Lucara's Karowe Mine (Botswana), Petra Diamonds' Premier Mine (South Africa), and Lucapa Diamond's Mothae Mine (Lesotho); and, successfully confirmed the potential of BK16 to host large special stones of +10.8 carats where size frequency distribution analysis indicates that 2% to 5% of the total carats may be greater than 10.8 carats (specials) (which compares favorably with Lucara Diamond Corp.'s Karowe Mine (AK6) production of specials). This SFD modeling led to a scoping level range analysis techno-economic modelling of the deposit using some defined variables and options for developing the project. This range analysis suggests that a positive NPV project is possible. The range analysis suggests that at diamond values around $350/ct the target could support a well-managed toll treatment operation. As the value increases to $500-550 it would be viable to contemplate a variety of low-capital intensity operations. At values above $600-650/ct the strategy of a developing a stand-alone full-size operation should be pursued. Still further alternatives involved the utilization of other processing plants in the OKF that are operating beneath their capacity. These encouraging results suggest that BK16 has the potential to become a mineable asset and suggest that the BK16 project employ a surface bulk sample method to augment the Phase 1 LDD sampling for its next Phase II stage of evaluation. Phase I SFD modelled grade, diamond value and kimberlite value. Table 2 Variable Unit of Measure BK16 Sample Grade cpht Diamond Value Kimberlite Value US$/carat US$/tonne 3.8 177 6.6 Current BK16 SFD Study Min 4 281 11 P20 5 290 15 P80 7 600 38 Max 8 792 67 4Future Plans and Outlook for BK16 The encouraging results from the Phase I program justifies moving onto Phase II which is to increase the number of carats recovered significantly by processing a far larger sample which will lead to an increase in the certainty of the grade and diamond value. Phase IIa will consist of the following: Phase IIa Surface Bulk Sampling:        Extract ~20,000 metric tonnes of kimberlite to obtain 800 to 1,600 carats of diamonds; Significantly improve the understanding of the grade of the deposit in cpht; Solidify further the accuracy of the high diamond value in US$ per carat; Further confirm the presence and quality of the Type IIa diamond population; Confirm the presence of larger stones and demonstrate that BK16 will be a significant producer of special stones above 10.8 carats and >100 carat stones; Define an inferred resource; and, Further refine the accuracy of the economic fundamentals of the project to move towards detailed feasibility studies and ultimately mining. The envisioned Phase IIa surface bulk sampling of this type constitutes standard industry practice for diamond exploration of kimberlites like BK16 to gain enough carats for an effective economic analysis. The Phase IIa bulk sample design will be a basic small and shallow box-cut style sample. Twenty-five (25) meters of over-burden will be stripped to expose the kimberlite below resulting in a depth of the box-cut design of 30 - 35 meters. Engineering studies undertaken into this surface bulk sample were comprised of a geotechnical characteristic study; a sample location optimization study to maximize number of diamonds; and, a final optimized pit design optimization which construct a box-cut design specification optimized pit shell that takes into account geotechnical parameters and grade and tonnage considerations. This final design was signed off by the independent engineers. In addition, a detailed rehabilitation plan was created that meets statutory requirements and will ensure the workings and facilities are safe and restore the environment to as close as possible to its natural state. If results are positive from this Phase IIa then a further phase of bulk sampling will be undertaken (Phase IIb) for a 5,000 tonnes LDD program plus another 20,000 tonnes of surface bulk sample in Phase IIb. Phase IIa and Phase IIb should provide a total of 1,800 to 3,600 carats from and provide a solid foundation for progressing the BK16 project, where it is envisaged that this will lead into mining of the BK16 kimberlite. 1.2 PL217/2016 PL217/2016 was acquired in the second quarter of 2017. The license has an effective date of January 1, 2017 for an initial period of three (3) years followed by two 2-year renewals. The first renewal was granted on June 29, 2020 with a commencement date of July 1, 2020 for a period of two-years. A renewal application was was filed in the first quarter of 2022. The license lies within the OKF and is situated some 10 km south of the Orapa Mining area and with the same distance to the west of the Letlhakane Mining lease. It surrounds the Karowe Mining lease, while the BK11 prospect is directly to the east of the licence. Other kimberlites occur along its northern and eastern borders. The licence is highly prospective for kimberlites but also has the potential to contain secondary diamond deposits associated with the paleo-drainage network in the area. The present drainage is to the north and erosion of the kimberlites would have resulted in the residue, including diamonds, to have been transported in the same direction. The focus of the exploration work would therefore be not only on finding kimberlites but also to assess the geomorphology in the search for paleo-channels and alluvial diamond deposits. Summary of Work Performed as at December 31, 2021 A novel mix of remote sensing strategies which involved studying in combination air magnetic surveys; Aster LT1; Aster GED Emissivity; Landsat ETM 7+; Landsat LC08, Landsat 8 False Color, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation models (DEM); and regional digitized geology, helped identify a number of potential alluvial and kimberlite targets for further exploration. This initial investigation led to a program of ground magnetics surveys over these targets which were conducted in two stages, and totaled 246 survey line km. This further refined the understanding of the area and identified 12 kimberlite targets of which 5 are high priority. Additional high-resolution ground gravity surveys followed and were conducted along lines perpendicular to the previously identified paleo-channels and also down stream of AK6 and BK11. Modelling of the ground magnetic and ground gravity data led to the identification of a number of paleo- channels. Where alluvial gravel paleo-channels have characteristically lower densities, and as such can be identified as having a lower gravity than the surrounding area. This modelling indicated significant overlaps between these ground 5geophysical surveys and the remote sensing interpretations for the locations of subsurface paleo-channel alluvial targets. Several prospective paleo-channel targets close to present-day drainages have been noted. Those channels may contain alluvial diamonds sourced from AK6 (Karowe / Lucara Diamond Corp.) and BK11 (Firestone Diamonds) and could contain large diamonds that are characteristic of AK6. Future Work on PL217/2016 The initial exploration results for the remaining ground within this prospecting license are encouraging and require further investigation. The next exploration program will consist of:     further high-definition ground magnetic surveys over the license to further test for other potential diamondiferous paleo-channels; a soil sampling program has been planned to help delineate drilling targets by identifying kimberlite indicator areas around some of the kimberlite targets identified; this will lead to a prioritized drill program to test the alluvial targets and the kimberlite targets; and if successful and diamonds are identified in either the alluvial targets or the kimberlite targets this will led to a bulk sampling programs of these prospects. 2. METALS (BASE & PRECIOUS, PLATINUM GROUP METALS, AND RARE EARTH ELEMENTS) PROJECTS Seven (7) PL’s were initially granted effective October 1, 2018 for a period of three (3) years. Two-year renewal applications were filed in the second quarter 2021 reducing the overall license package from 4,921 km2 to 2,462 km2 consisting of five (5) prospecting licenses. The reduction in the license area package only impaired those two (2) licenses and did not have a material an impact of the prospectivity of the remaining project area. Four licenses were renewed effective January 1, 2022 while the fifth remains in the renewal process. The details of the Company’s prospecting licences are set forth in Table 3.

Xaudum Iron Formation Deposit: Comprised of a magnetite banded iron formation deposit and iron rich schists that are contained within the Grand Conglomerate Formation (linked to the Chuos in Namibia); Copper and Cobalt Exploration: Sedimentary Cu/Co (Katanga type sediments) within the entire Neoproterozoic package; Xaudum Gold Exploration: Gold mineralisation linked to the Xaudum Iron Formation; and Rare Earth Element Exploration: Skarn REE and Cu targets. These are secondary targets hosted within marbles (carbonate) rich lithologies and include significant enrichment in REE and Cu. 6Summary of Work Performed as at December 31, 2021 Exploration for these metals is driven by geophysics as there is no outcrop and there is significant Kalahari cover overburden of sands and calcrete. To this end, the Company has completed: Geophysics: Over 1,800 km2 (~20,000-line km) of ground magnetics which has defined the extent of the highly magnetic XIF. Airborne electro-magnetic survey (Spectrem) was flown (16,934-line km) collecting electromagnetic (EM), magnetic and radiometric data. A 10,392-line km at a 500 m flight line interval airborne gravity survey also was flown. These surveys have contributed greatly to advancing the structural and geological modelling of the area, which have aided immensely in exploration targeting. Drilling and Assaying: 366 core drill holes totalling 77,174 meters of core, including 116 reflex gyro surveys and over 52,000 samples were sent for assay. Additionally, a 220-hole drill program (13,689 meter) known as the Kalahari Geochemistry Program (KGP) was conducted to the test soil overburden for hydromorphic dispersion of copper and other metals from bedrock mineralization via assaying (8,326 samples assayed for As, Au, Bi, Co, Pb, Al, Ca, Cu, Mg, Ni, Zn, and Ag) on a 2 km grid to locate targets for further exploration and drilling. This program identified a number or high priority targets for further exploration. Xaudum Iron Formation: This is a potential prospect for future mining and has been identified as our key program. To date drilling of Block 1 the northern part of the XIF deposit resulted in a geology and mineralisation model being generated using the Gocad modelling package. This model was used by SRK Consulting (U.K.) to define Gcwihaba maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in a National Instrument (NI) 43-101 technical report for Block 1, via standard pit optimisation techniques. This Block 1 resource is defined as 441 million tonnes (Mt) grading 29.4% Fe, 41.0% SiO2, 6.1% Al2O3 and 0.3% P and represents Botswana’s first and only iron resource. Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) metallurgical test work showed that all major mineralised units are capable of producing a premium grade magnetite concentrate product of ~67% Fe. This XIF iron concentrate product will be very similar to the iron ore concentrate fines and pellets feed produced from premium iron ore producers in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Sweden etc. and attract a premium value compared to standard global iron ore products. The reported Block 1 Mineral Resource represents only a fraction of the potential XIF mineralization delimited by the ground magnetics. An Exploration Target for the entire strike of the XIF is estimated to be 5 to 7 billion tonnes with grades ranging between 15-40% Fe. This XIF Exploration Target was generated using inversion modelling of the ground magnetic signal which was compared to local drill-hole model volumes to create inversion model volume conversion factors, these values were used to define volumes for the entire XIF which were converted to tonnes via measured density values. It is important to note that the tonnages and grade quoted in this exploration target are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define this fully as a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the full target being delineated as a mineral resource. A Phase II evaluation drilling program has begun within the next major XIF magnetic anomaly area, referred to as Block 2 (spilt in to Block 2a priority, and Block 2b). 755 assay results from 10 drill holes in Block 2a have been returned and confirm that Block 2a located 10 kilometres south of Block 1 is a continuation of the same Block 1 magnetite rich units which will result in a significant increase in the resource tonnage for the XIF project upon completion of the Block 2a drill program. The Company is looking to expand its XIF resource into Block 2a and these assay results show that the Company can expect a significant resource increase in this area. Assay Results for 10 holes drilled in Block 2a show the following:    Ten (10) evaluation drill holes were drilled within the Block 2a area of the XIF totalling 2,046.40 meters; 1,197.70 meters of highly magnetic magnetite rich iron mineralization of the same type as seen in Block 1 were intersected; Drilling results indicate that Block 2a contains the same three magnetite resource lithological units that are seen in Block 1 with the following average grades; o o o 35.6% Fe is the average Block 2a grade of the major Banded Magnetite BIF unit coded MBA (inclusive of weathered material);  35.5% Fe was the average Block 1 grade for MBA; 25.1% Fe is the average Block 2a grade of the major Magnetite Diamictite Schist unit coded DIM (inclusive of weathered material);  20.8% Fe was the average Block 1 grade for DIM; 25.0% Fe is the average Block 2a grade of the minor Magnetite Garnet Schist unit coded MGS (inclusive of weathered material);  22.1% Fe was the average Block 1 grade for MGS; 7o o These results confirm that the units in Block 2a are a continuation of the same magnetite rich iron formation 10 kilometres south of Block 1; Based on metallurgical Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) magnetic separation (P80 of 80 micron) results for Block 1, a general average high-grade iron concentrate of 66 - 67% Fe and above can be expected from Block 2a;  Block 2a will represent a significant increase in the XIF resource tonnages as it is of a similar size to Block 1. The Company created a preliminary geological model based on drilling and assay results focusing on the area around the elongate ‘C” XIF within Block 2a target. A block model using wirefarmes was created to assess the potential tonnage and grade within the block. Drilling in Block 2 will commences in the third quarter. Geotechnical Test Works: Tsodilo undertook 30 geotechnical lab test works on the important formations for the Xaudum Iron Formation project a including those that will make up the majority of the likely pit walls during mining of the iron. These test works included 18 Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) tests, 8 Brazilian Tensile Strength (BTS) tests, and 4 Direct Shear Strength (DSS) tests. The UCS and the BTS strength tests indicate that the XIF major Geodomains are competent and strong in both dimensions of compression and tension. The UCS mode of failure indicates that DIA, DIAW and MBW tend to show a preferred mode of failure related to the foliation. This is not as common for MBA and CAC. The joint discontinuities tested for DSS lean towards poor and fair characterizations. These are the first set of geotechnical lab tests conducted on the XIF and show that the XIF materials are competent and will result in a good set of geotechnical parameters to be used in the ongoing PEA. These geotechnical lab tests show that the XIF materials are all within standard mechanical rock property ranges and that there will be no geotechnical issues arising from the XIF materials confirming that the XIF will show “normal” pit wall angles. Copper and Cobalt Exploration: Tsodilo has identified within the same area exciting potential for Copper/Cobalt, Rare Earth Elements (REE), and Gold within these same Katanga meta-sediments and associated basement complex. Tsodilo has reviewed and refined its targets to fourteen (14) high priority Cu and Co targets for further exploration. This work led to a soil sampling program to help define these targets further. 5,071 soil samples were collected and sieved to 180 meshes from the sub-deflation soil zone during the dry season. The first targets soil samples were sent for a specialized partial digestion technique which has been specially developed for sampling in covered terrains called TerraLeach at Intertek laboratories Australia. This data was validated and further studied to remove geomorphological controls and highlighted a significant target of interest that has be prioritized for drilling. Further geological interpretation and modelling has been on-going and is designed to aid in delineating zones of alteration, such as albite and Na-feldspar alteration which act as pathfinders for fluid flow zones that may help in defining areas that may have potential for Cu mobility. This geological interpretation program has also aided in our understanding of the geology of the area, where there have been some significant developments in our regional understanding that are being captured and mapped. Rare Earth Element Exploration: The Company has identified at least two significant skarn associated prospects (C26 and C27) that contain a standard suite of ordinary carbonate, silicate, and phosphate REE minerals of well-established metallurgy that can be exploited easily. The holes in the two skarn anomalies C27 and C26 that stand out as being high in TREO% are as follows:     1822C27_6: C27 skarn anomaly - This hole has the highest TREO recorded at 1.49% at 2m of intervals over 1% TREO and 4m of intervals over 0.1% TREO. 1822C27_2: C26 skarn anomaly - This hole has 1m over 1% TREO but has 45m of intervals over 0.1% TREO. 1822C26_1: C26 skarn anomaly - This hole has 18m of intervals over 0.1% TREO. 1822C26_3: C26 skarn anomaly - This hole has 11m of intervals over 0.1% TREO. The C27 skarn anomaly, which is the larger of the two skarn prospects, has been modeled to a conceptual Exploration Target of 76 Mt to 92 Mt of skarn with grades ranging from 0.05 % to 1 % Total Rare Earth Elements Oxide (TREO). This conceptual C27 skarn anomaly Exploration Target was generated by geologically modelling in 3 dimensions using the drill-hole intersections of the C27 skarn anomaly allowing volumes representing the C27 skarn to be generated. These modelled volumes were then turned into the tonnages quoted by using a likely range of densities for this skarn material of 2.5 to 3.0 g/cm3. It is important to note that the tonnages and grade quoted in this exploration target is are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define this fully as a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the full target being delineated as a mineral resource. 8Gold Exploration: Several gold anomalies have been seen within some of the Xaudum Iron Formation drill holes and associated facies as described above. This gold project has thus far identified that there is potential for gold mineralization to be associated with the XIF, where an analogy has been drawn to the Homestake gold deposit in South Dakota, US, where phyllites acted as the source for the gold deposited in the XIF material. A detailed review of all data collected to date assisted in identifying a number of potential gold anomalies for further study within the drill- hole dataset; these have been used to assess the potential for generating Gold targets for further exploration within this Xaudum Iron Formation and associated units. This led to a significant core logging and data mining program to identify current holes that can be processed for gold assay, to date 6 holes have been identified as having potential gold mineralization and are awaiting gold assay. Future Plans and Outlook - Metals Projects Xaudum Iron Formation: The fundamentals for iron ore are strong and iron ore has seen a strong drive that may indicate the beginning of a new super cycle for the commodity, and with this as a background the Company is currently exploring options for developing the XIF resource. To this end, the Company has commenced a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for this project. The objective of this PEA will be to conduct an early-stage economic analysis of the potential viability of the mineral resources and to develop a general strategy to move the project forward, given its premium ore potential. The PEA will include detailed studies into; processing and engineering strategies; equipment and technology requirements; transport and infrastructure requirements; identification of potential environmental and social aspects; associated costs such as capital costs, operational costs, and life-cycle costs; and, anticipated revenues. The Xaudum iron ore project is a national interest project that can be exploited to produce an iron product of 67% Fe and above. This highly attractive and valuable Fe product can also be further beneficiated to other Fe products such as ferro-alloys, reduced iron products and steel. The potential for a small-scale start-up mine supplying magnetite to a small-scale ferrosilicon (FeSi) plant which will sell FeSi products to the mines in Botswana and the mines in the local SADC area is also being explored as a way of initiating mining at a small scale while a larger scale mine and infrastructure can be explored and developed. The Company has entered into a research collaboration endeavor with the Department of Chemical, Materials and Metallurgical Engineering at the Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST) and Morupule Coal Mine (MCM) to undertake metallurgical studies with respect to the potential of generating a Pellet Feed and Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) product from the Xaudum Iron Formation (XIF) utilizing its magnetite and MCM’s coal as a reductant. Commercially, these high-grade pellets and DRI product would be used to produce steel within Botswana, the region and internationally. Tsodilo has also joined the Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG), as there is currently a Feasibility Study commissioned by the Namibian Ministry of Works and Transport for the part of the corridor called the Trans-Zambezi Railway Extension Grootfontein - Rundu - Katima Mulilo. This Trans-Zambezi Railway Extension line linking Zambia and Namibia is planned to pass through Divundu, Namibia providing access to Walvis Bay, Namibia's deep-sea port. Divundu is located approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles) from the Companies Xaudum Iron license location in Northern Botswana. Copper and Cobalt Exploration: A detailed review of the data is ongoing to further refine exploration priorities incorporating new detailed structural and geological mapping data alongside the recent soil sampling information. This work also includes plotting of alteration data logged and assay generated on geological cross sections, interpolation of information into a 2D map, improved structural interpretations, which will ultimately lead to updated drill target recommendations. Remaining soil samples will be sent for TerraLeach analysis to assist in refining the high priority Cu and Co targets so focused drilling of these targets can occur. Rare Earth Element Exploration: The next stage for REE exploration is to develop a detailed study of the geology and facies and alterations associated with the skarns and develop a detailed geological and mineralization model of these skarn anomalies. This will lead to the development of a REE exploration target tonnage and grade range that will advance the next stage of REE drilling and exploration program to further define the grade and tonnage of these REE deposits. Gold Exploration: The gold logging program will continue and holes identified sent for gold assay, which will lead to drill target generation for further exploration. 93. Newdico (Proprietary) Limited (“Newdico”) – Botswana The Company holds a 100% interest in Newdico (Pty) Limited (“Newdico”) which holds one (1) industrial mineral (granite & dolerite) license. The license lies within the Central District of Botswana just to the east of the town of Nata and has an area of 266 km2. The license is prospective for granites/granitic materials and dolerites that are industrial minerals used mainly in the construction industry as aggregate. This granite when crushed into a granular aggregate material of various sizes can be suitable for use either on their own or with the addition of cement, lime or a bituminous binder in construction. Important applications include concrete, manufactured sand, mortar, road stone, asphalt, railway ballast, drainage courses and bulk fill. This license is summarized in Table 4.

The local geology is characterized by basement complex outcropping mainly in the northeast corner of the Dukwe area, which is to the east of the license area. There is some exposure around the Matsitama river where it was mapped as a gneiss and was described as varying in texture “from fine-grained and granulitic – or schistose – to medium or coarse-grained and granitic” falling into two broad lithological types; the feldspathic schists and amphibolitic schist. Overlaying the complex is a succession of Dukwe formations which is the lowest part of the Karoo Supergroup. It comprises of sedimentary rocks which from the lower part, including beds of sandstone. The upper member is a sequence of varved shales within a thin bed gritty pellet conglomerate. Overlying the Dukwe formation are successions of the Mosu and Ntane sandstones. Capping the Ntane sandstones are the Karoo flood basalts, and these can be inferred from the magnetic structures within the license area. The Total Magnetic data was reduced to the pole, from which various filters were applied to obtain the first and second derivatives, Analytical Signal and Tilt derivative maps were utilized enabling an interpretation to be performed. Magnetic “granitic textures” were visible from these maps and inferred granite was outlined. Further review of the data will take place before field work commences. 4. Idada Trading 361 (Pty) Limited (“Idada”) – Barberton Gold Project, South Africa The Company holds a 70% interest in its South African subsidiary, Idada. Idada made application for an exploration license (Ref: MP30/5/1/1/2/1047PR) in the Barberton area in February 2012. During the second quarter 2015, notice was received from the Department of Mineral Resources, South Africa which granted the Company the prospecting rights for gold and silver in the applied for area subject to certain subsequent conditions being met. The Company has fulfilled those requirements and the Prospecting Right, together with the EMP, was executed and became effective on April 7, 2016. The Prospecting Right was been granted for a term of five years effective as of May 2015. Notices were sent to all surface owners of the five farms informing the owners of our intent to access the property to commence exploration activities. Three landowners, holding most of the target ground, have denied access. This issue has been submitted to the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) for resolution. During the third quarter 2019, the Company was informed that certain portions of our license areas were designated as a World Heritage site by UNESCO. UNESCO has informed the Company that in accordance with the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention, UNESCO is investigating the situation that the Company brought to their attention. UNESCO has informed the Company that according to IUCN, the Advisory Body to the intergovernmental World Heritage Committee concerning nominations of natural heritage sites on the World Heritage List, the overlapping prospecting license on the western portion of the property or of the presence of Tsodilo Resources Ltd was not brought to the attention of IUCN during the evaluation process. The documentation related to 10the evaluation and http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1575/documents. inscription of the site on the World Heritage List from UNESCO’s website at: As the responsibility for nominating sites to the World Heritage List and the management and protection of the World Heritage properties inscribed is under the authority of the State Party of South Africa, UNESCO advised the Company that they would be contacting the appropriate South African office for clarification. To date, it is the Company’s understanding that neither the Department of Mineral Affairs (DMA) nor the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) has responded to UNESCO’s inquiry. In addition to UNESCO’s inquiries, the Company also contacted the DMA for guidance and received a response, but before the issue could be dealt with the South African government was shut down due to the COVID-19 virus. In the interim, the Company has filed a renewal application to protect our license rights. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company determined to stop all efforts to protect its licenses rights as all efforts to contact its Black Empowerment Partner and the DMA and DEA have failed as all parties are not responsive. The Company has written off this minor investment of $7,650 as impaired as at the year ended December 31, 2021.

PERSONNEL At December 31, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries employed fifteen (15) compared to ten (10) at December 31, 2020, including senior officers, administrative and operations personnel including those on a short-term service basis. YEAR-ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 The year-ended December 31, 2021 was conservative with an operating period challenged by the COVID-19 restrictions and uncertainty. Operating expenses were at normal levels for the period. See COVID-19 discussions below. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Operations of the Company are speculative due to the high-risk nature of its business which includes acquisition, financing, exploration and development of diamond and metal properties (collectively “mineral”). Material risk factors and uncertainties, which should be taken into account in assessing the Company's activities, include, but are not necessarily limited to, those set below. Any one or more of these risks and others could have a material adverse effect on the Company. COVID-19 Global pandemic and Geopolitical risks Measures and guidelines implemented by the Government of Botswana in late March 2020 which allowed the Company’s exploration and evaluation activities to remain operational albeit limited throughout the pandemic restrictions have gradually been rolled back as vaccination levels within Botswana have increased. Most of the Company’s workforce (+99%) have been vaccinated. Although significant progress has been made in this area, the Company continues to operate under its approved crisis management plan, designed to protect the health and well- being of our employees in Botswana and elsewhere as well as the financial well-being of the business. The Company has continued with regular health screening, temperature checks and the use of infrared measurements to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Although many countries around the world have removed the public health measures implemented to reduce the spread of COVID-19, uncertainty remains. It is possible that Tsodilo’s operations could be impacted in a number of ways including, but not limited to: a suspension of exploration and evaluation activities, disruptions to supply chains and worker absenteeism due to illness. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances remain dynamic and the impacts on our financial position or operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In February 2022, Russia commenced a military invasion of Ukraine. In response, many jurisdictions have imposed strict economic sanctions against Russia and its interests. While the Company does not have any operations in Ukraine or Russia, its business may be impacted as the conflict and economic sanctions may give rise to indirect impacts, including but not limited to, increased fuel prices, supply chain challenges and disruptions, logistics and transport disruptions and heightened cybersecurity disruptions and threats. Increased fuel prices and ongoing volatility of such prices may have adverse impacts on the Company’s costs of doing business. The implications could result in a global economic downturn that could adversely affect the Company’s business. The continuance or escalation of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the corresponding economic sanctions imposed on Russia, may also result in increased volatility in the market for the Company’s securities and could have other effects which are currently unknown. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact that ongoing conflict in Ukraine will have on its financial position or operations. Uncertainty about judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management during the 16 preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements related to potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine-Russia conflict on revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and note disclosures could result in a material adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or liability affected. Covid-19 Pandemic Relief In the first Quarter of 2020, the Company initiated efforts to get Covid-19 relief from expenditure and work requirements on our prospecting licenses due to the exceptional and debilitating global effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. In June 2020, the Ministry of Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security informed those holding prospecting licenses that they would entertain granting relief from work and expenditure requirements on a case-by-case basis. Applications for relief were filed for the Gcwihaba and Bosoto licenses and on January 8, 2021 the Ministry in accordance with Section 22 of the Mines and Minerals Act, approved the cancellation of one (1) year of prospecting programme of Bosoto Prospecting License Nos. PL 369/2014 and PL 217/2016 and Gcwihaba Prospecting Licenses Nos. PL 020 - 026/2018 with effect from April 1, 2020. Additional Funding Requirements Further development and exploration of the various mineral projects in which the Company holds an interest depends upon the Company's ability to obtain financing through equity or debt financing, joint ventures or other means. While the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities and royalty transactions, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional financing in the amount and at the time required and, if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a loss of $1,316,206 and comprehensive loss of $1,903,007 during the year ended December 31, 2021 and as of that date, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $51,150,566 and negative working capital of ($1,791,640). Management has carried out an assessment of the going concern assumption and has concluded that the cash position of the Company is not sufficient to finance exploration and resource evaluation at the projected levels, and to finance continued operations for the 12-month period subsequent to December 31, 2021. The continuity of the Company’s operations is dependent on raising future financing for working capital, the continued exploration and development of its properties and for acquisition and development costs of new projects. Management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing through a combination of the issuance of new equity or debt instruments, the entering into of joint venture arrangements or the exercise of warrants and options for the purchase of common shares. However, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in these actions. There can be no assurance that adequate financing will be available, or available under terms favorable to the Company. Should it be determined that the Company is no longer a going concern, adjustments, which could be significant, would be required to the carrying value of assets and liabilities. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, or the impact on the consolidated statement of operation and comprehensive income (loss), and consolidated statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption not appropriate. Failure to obtain equity or debt financing on a timely basis may cause the Company to postpone its exploration and development plans or forfeit rights in some of its projects. Uncertainties Related to Mineral Resource Estimates There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the calculation of mineral resources and corresponding grades being mined or dedicated to future production. Until resources are actually mined and processed, the quantity of resources and grades must be considered as estimates only. In addition, the quantity and value of reserves or resources may vary, depending on mineral prices. Any material changes in the quantity of resources, grades or stripping ratio may affect the economic viability of the Company's properties. In addition, there is no assurance that recoveries in small- scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger-scale tests under on-site conditions, or during production. Determining the economic viability of a mineral project is complicated and involves a number of variables. Commodity Prices and Marketability The mining industry, in general, is intensely competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of minerals are discovered, a profitable market will exist for the sale of minerals produced. Factors beyond the control 17of the Company may affect the marketability of any minerals produced and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, any combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on investment capital. Prices received for minerals produced and sold are also affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control such as international economic and political trends, global or regional consumption and demand and supply patterns. There is no assurance that the sale price of minerals produced from any deposit will be such that they can be mined at a profit. Currency Risk The Company's business is mainly transacted in Botswana Pula and U.S. dollar currencies. As a consequence, fluctuations in exchange rates may have a significant effect on the cash flows and operating results of the Company in either a positive or negative direction. Foreign Operations Risk The Company's current significant projects are located in Botswana. This exposes the Company to risks that may not otherwise be experienced if its operations were domestic. The risks include, but are not limited to, environmental protection, land use, water use, health safety, labor, restrictions on production, price controls, currency remittance, and maintenance of mineral tenure and expropriation of property. There is no assurance that future changes in taxes or such regulation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates will not adversely affect the Company's operations. Although the operating environments in Botswana are considered favorable compared to those in other developing countries, there are still political risks. These risks include, but are not limited to terrorism, hostage taking, military repression, expropriation, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation and labor unrest. Changes in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitudes may also adversely affect the Company's business. Mineral Exploration and Development The business of exploring for minerals and mining is highly speculative in nature and involves significant financial and other risks which even careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. There is no certainty that expenditures made or to be made by the Company in exploring and developing mineral properties in which it has an interest will result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposit. While discovery of a mineral deposit may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to establish reserves by drilling and to construct mining and processing facilities at a site. There can be no guarantee that exploration programs carried out by the Company will result in the development of profitable mining operations. Title Matters Any changes in the laws of Botswana and South Africa relating to mining could have a material adverse effect to the rights and title to the interests held in those countries by the Company. No assurance can be given that applicable governments will not revoke or significantly alter the conditions of applicable exploration and mining authorizations nor that such exploration and mining authorizations will not be challenged or impugned by third parties. Infrastructure Exploration, development, mining and processing activities depend on the availability of adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, sewer and water supply are important determinants which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance of provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect activities and profitability of the Company. Uninsured Risks The mining business is subject to a number of risks and hazards including, but not limited to, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, labor disputes, encountering unusual or unexpected geologic formations or other geological or grade problems, encountering unanticipated ground or water conditions, cave~ ins, pit wall failures, flooding, rock bursts, periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions and other acts of God. Such risks could result in damage to mineral properties or facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in exploration, development or mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability. The Company maintains insurance against certain risks that are associated with its business in amounts that it believes to be reasonable at the current stage of operations. There can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available at economically acceptable premiums or will be adequate to cover any future claim. 18Key Personnel The Company is dependent upon on a relatively small number of key employees, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company. The Company currently does not have key personal insurance on these individuals. New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Adopted There are no other standards which the Company would have been required to adopt in the period. New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Not Yet Effective Certain pronouncements were issued by the ISAB or the IFRS Interpretive Committee that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning January 1, 2022 or later periods. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company. Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendment to IAS 1) The amendment to IAS 1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual agreements in place at the reporting date. These amendments are effective for the reporting dates beginning on or after January 1, 2023. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Remuneration of Key Management Personnel of the Company Short term employee remuneration and benefits Stock based compensation Total compensation attributed to key management personnel 2021 $298,000 270,792 $568,792 2020 $278,106 38,521 $316,627 During the year an individual related to the CEO provided administrative and management services to the Company and was remunerated in 2021 in the amount of $48,000 (2020: $48,000). During the year, individuals related to key management personnel of the company received $5,970 in stock based compensation during the period (2020: $NIL). Board members were issued notes in the amount of $207,736 (2020: 843,576). As at December 31, 2021, there was a total of $121,611 (2020: $85,035) payables to related parties included within accounts payable and accrued liabilities. There are no other related party transactions. OUTLOOK Precious stones and metals exploration remain a high-risk undertaking requiring patience and persistence. Despite difficult capital markets in the junior resource sector and the general decrease in commodity prices, the Company remains committed to international commodity exploration through carefully managed programs. The Company does not invest in financial instruments, nor does it do any hedging transactions.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Basis for Opinion in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our We conducted our audit responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern We draw attention to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements which describes the material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises: • Management's Discussion and Analysis Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained the other information prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor's report. We have nothing to report in this regard. 23Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, 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. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • • • • • • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are 24responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS Tsodilo Resources Limited (“Tsodilo” or “the Company”) is an exploration stage company which is engaged principally in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in the Republic of Botswana. The Company is considered to be in the exploration and development stage given that none of its properties are in production and, to date, have not earned any revenues. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the renewal or extension of exploration licenses, obtaining the necessary permits to operate a mine, obtaining the financing to complete exploration and development, and future profitable production. The Company is incorporated under the laws of the Yukon Territory, Canada, under the Business Corporations Act of Yukon and the address of the Company’s registered office is 161 Bay Street, P.O. Box 508 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2S1. The Company currently exists under the Business Corporations Act of Yukon and its common shares are listed on the Canadian TSX Venture Stock Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol TSD. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a loss of $1,316,206 and comprehensive loss of $1,903,007 during the year ended December 31, 2021 and as of that date, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $51,150,566 and negative working capital of ($1,791,640). The Company has not generated any revenues or cash flows from operations since inception and does not expect to do so for the foreseeable future. The Company’s continuation as a going concern depends on its ability to successfully raise financing. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company; therefore giving rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Company’s cash resources and working capital will be sufficient to enable the Company to continue as a going concern for the 12-month period after the date of these consolidated financial statements. Consequently, management is pursuing various financing alternatives to fund operations and advance its business plan. To facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. The Company may determine to reduce the level of activity and expenditures further, or divest of certain mineral property assets, to preserve working capital and alleviate any going concern risk. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities at their carrying values in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future; and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. COVID-19 Global pandemic and Geopolitical risks Measures and guidelines implemented by the Government of Botswana in late March 2020 which allowed the Company’s exploration and evaluation activities to remain operational albeit limited throughout the pandemic restrictions have gradually been rolled back as vaccination levels within Botswana have increased. Most of the Company’s workforce (+99%) have been vaccinated. Although significant progress has been made in this area, the Company continues to operate under its approved crisis management plan, designed to protect the health and well-being of our employees in Botswana and elsewhere as well as the financial well-being of the business. The Company has continued with regular health screening, temperature checks and the use of infrared measurements to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Although many countries around the world have removed the public health measures implemented to reduce the spread of COVID- 19, uncertainty remains. It is possible that Tsodilo’s operations could be impacted in a number of ways including, but not limited to: a suspension of exploration and evaluation activities, disruptions to supply chains and worker absenteeism due to illness. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances remain dynamic and the impacts on our financial position or operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In February 2022, Russia commenced a military invasion of Ukraine. In response, many jurisdictions have imposed strict economic sanctions against Russia and its interests. While the Company does not have any operations in Ukraine or Russia, 30 its business may be impacted as the conflict and economic sanctions may give rise to indirect impacts, including but not limited to, increased fuel prices, supply chain challenges and disruptions, logistics and transport disruptions and heightened cybersecurity disruptions and threats. Increased fuel prices and ongoing volatility of such prices may have adverse impacts on the Company’s costs of doing business. The implications could result in a global economic downturn that could adversely affect the Company’s business. The continuance or escalation of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the corresponding economic sanctions imposed on Russia, may also result in increased volatility in the market for the Company’s securities and could have other effects which are currently unknown. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact that ongoing conflict in Ukraine will have on its financial position or operations. Uncertainty about judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management during the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements related to potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine-Russia conflict on revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and note disclosures could result in a material adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or liability affected. 2. Significant Accounting Policies (a) Statement of Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for release by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 31, 2022. (b) Basis of Preparation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss which are stated at their fair value. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and include the accounts of the Company and the following direct and indirect subsidiaries: Entity Tsodilo Resources Bermuda Limited (“TRBL”) [Bermuda] Bosoto (Proprietary) Limited (“Bosoto”) [Botswana] Gcwihaba Resources (Proprietary) Limited (“Gcwihaba”) [Botswana] Newdico (Proprietary) Limited (“Newdico”) [Botswana] Idada Trading 361 (Pty) Ltd. (“Idada”) [South Africa] 2021 100% 100% 100% 100% 70% 2020 100% 100% 100% 100% 70% The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods and years presented. (c) Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of polices and reporting amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include stock-based compensation expense. The amounts estimated for stock based compensation is calculated using the Black- Scholes Option Pricing model, which requires significant estimates with respect to the expected life and volatility of such instruments. Significant judgments are required with respect to the carrying value of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets, the determination of the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries, the recoverability of the Company’s deferred tax assets, potential tax exposures given the company operates in multiple jurisdictions, and the going concern assumptions. In particular, the carrying value of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the Company’s determination with respect to the future prospects of its exploration and evaluation assets and the ability of the Company to successfully complete the renewal or extension process for its exploration properties as required. The quantification of potential tax exposures is dependent on the relevant tax authorities’ acceptance of the Company’s positions. (d) Earnings (Loss) per Common Share Earnings (loss) per share calculations are based on the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders 31 for the year divided by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are based on the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders for the year divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year plus the effects of dilutive common share equivalents. This method requires that the dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants issued be calculated using the treasury stock method. This method assumes that all common share equivalents have been exercised at the beginning of the year (or at the time of issuance, if later), and that the funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common shares of the Company at the average trading price of common shares during the year. The incremental number of common shares that would be issued is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. (e) Exploration and Evaluation Assets Exploration and evaluation assets include acquired mineral use rights for mineral properties held by the Company. The amount of consideration paid (in cash or share value) for mineral use rights is capitalized. The amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets represents all direct and indirect costs relating to the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration properties, less recoveries, and do not necessarily reflect present or future values. These costs will be amortized against revenue from future production or written off if the exploration and evaluation assets are abandoned or sold. The Company has classified exploration and evaluation assets as intangible in nature. Depletion of costs capitalized on projects put into commercial production will be recorded using the unit-of-production method based upon estimates of proven and probable reserves. Proceeds received from farm-out agreements or recoveries of costs are credited against the cost of related claims. Ownership of exploration and evaluation assets involves certain inherent risks, including geological, commodity prices, operating costs, and permitting risks. Many of these risks are outside the Company’s control. The ultimate recoverability of the amounts capitalized for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the delineation of economically recoverable ore reserves, the renewal or extension of exploration licenses, obtaining the necessary financing to complete their development, obtaining the necessary permits to operate the mine, and realizing profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. Management’s estimates of recoverability of the Company’s investment in its Botswana and South Africa Exploration and Evaluation Assets have been based on current and expected conditions. However, it is possible that changes could occur which could adversely affect management’s estimates and may result in future write-downs of exploration and evaluation assets carrying values. See note 3 for additional disclosures related to license commitments and strategic partners commitments and earn- in agreement. Management periodically reviews the carrying values of its investments in exploration and evaluation assets and will recognize impairment in value based upon current exploration results, the prospect of further work being carried out by the Company and the assessment of future probability of revenues from the property or from the sale of the property. A decision to abandon, reduce or expand activity on a specific property is based upon many factors including general and specific assessments of mineral resources, anticipated future mineral prices, anticipated costs of developing and operating a producing mine, the expiration date of mineral property leases and the availability of financing. The Company does not set a pre-determined holding period for properties with unproven resources. However, properties which have not demonstrated suitable prospects at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program are re-evaluated to determine if future exploration is warranted and that carrying values are appropriate. (f) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following terms: Hangar Vehicles Furniture and equipment over remaining life of land lease 5 Years 3 – 4 Years An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss. 32 Where an item of property, plant and equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of plant and equipment. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of property, plant and equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures, are capitalized. (g) Cash Cash consists of cash held in banks and petty cash. (h) Foreign Currency Translation (i) Functional and presentation currency The Company’s functional and presentation currency is the United States dollar (“U.S. Dollar”). The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries are as follows: Tsodilo Resources Bermuda Limited Gcwihaba Resources (Pty) Limited Newdico (Pty) Limited Bosoto (Pty) Limited Idada Trading 361 (Pty) Ltd (”TRBL”) (“Gcwihaba”) (“Newdico”) (“Bosoto”’) ("‘Idada”) U.S. Dollar Botswana Pula Botswana Pula Botswana Pula South African Rand Each subsidiary and the Company’s parent entity determine their own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. (ii) Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by applying the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. (iii) Translation of foreign operations As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of Gcwihaba, Newdico, Bosoto, and Idada are translated into the presentation currency of the Company at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange for the period. On consolidation, the exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve. If Gcwihaba, Newdico, Bosoto, and Idada were sold, the amount recognized in the foreign currency reserve would be realized and reflected in the statement of operations and comprehensive i nc om e (loss) as part of the gain or loss on disposal. (i) Income Taxes Current taxes are the expected tax payable or receivable on the local taxable income or loss for the year, using the local tax rate enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and includes any adjustments to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. Deferred income taxes are recorded using the liability method whereby deferred tax is recognized in respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they are realized or settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary differences which arise on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affect neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss. 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 each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. 33 (j) Share-based Compensation The Company follows the fair value method of accounting for stock option awards granted to employees and directors, whereby services are rendered as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). The fair value of stock options is determined by the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model with assumptions for risk- free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility of the expected market price of the Company’s common shares and an expected life of the options. The number of stock option awards expected to vest are estimated using a forfeiture rate based on historical experience and future expectations. The fair value of direct awards of stock is determined by the quoted market price of the Company’s stock. Share-based compensation is amortized over the vesting period of the related option to earnings and no portions were capitalized. Upon participants’ retirement from their duties, their shares are forfeited and any charges already recognized relating to unvested options are reversed. When an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss. The Company uses graded or accelerated amortization which specifies that each vesting tranche must be accounted for as a separate arrangement with a unique fair value measurement. Each vesting tranche is subsequently amortized separately and in parallel from the grant date. Option-pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. (k) Severance Benefits Under Botswana law, the Company is required to pay severance benefits for full-time employees upon the completion of 5 years of continued service if the employee so elects or upon the termination of employment. Severance is earned at the rate of one day per month for an employee with less than five years of service and two days per month for employees with greater than five years of service. The specifics and benefits of the severance program mandated in Botswana are extended to full-time employees residing and working outside of Botswana. The cost of these severance benefits is accrued over the year of service until the benefit becomes payable. Portions of the severance expenses are capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets. (l) Financial Assets Under IFRS 9, all financial assets are initially recorded at fair value and designated upon inception into one of the following three categories: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). All of the Company’s financial assets are classified as amortized cost, being subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. (m) Financial Liabilities All financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and designated upon inception as FVTPL or at amortized cost. Financial liabilities classified as at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expenses over the relevant year. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable are classified as at amortized cost. Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL include warrants with exercise prices denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as FVTPL and recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Fair value changes on financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized in earnings. Transaction costs associated with FVTPL liabilities are expensed as incurred. (n) Impairment of Assets At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses each cash-generating unit to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risk of a specific asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that 34 does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Exploration and evaluation assets are excluded from the fair value impairment test. When an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss. (o) Related Party Transactions Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities and includes, but is not limited to, key management personnel, directors, affiliated companies, and project partners. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources, services or obligations between related parties. (p) Share Capital The Company engages in equity financing transactions to obtain the funds necessary to continue operations and explore and evaluate resource properties. These equity financing transactions may involve issuance of common shares or units. A unit comprises a certain number of common shares and a certain number of share purchase warrants (“Warrants”). Depending on the terms and conditions of each equity financing agreement (“Agreement”), the Warrants are exercisable into additional common shares prior to expiry at a price stipulated by the Agreement. Warrants that are part of units are valued using residual value method which involves comparing the selling price of the units to the Company’s share price on the announcement date of the financing. The market value is then applied to the common share, and any residual amount is assigned to the warrants. Warrants that are issued as payment for agency fee or other transaction costs are accounted for as share-based payments and are recognized in equity. When warrants are forfeited or are not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognized in equity is transferred from reserves to deficit. In situations where share capital is issued, or received, as non-monetary consideration and the fair value of the asset received, or given up is not readily determinable, the fair market value (as defined) of the shares is used to record the transaction. The fair market value of the shares issued, or received, is based on the trading price of those shares on the appropriate Exchange on the date the shares are issued. (q) Provision for Environmental Rehabilitation The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of exploration and evaluation assets and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future rehabilitation cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work is capitalized to mining assets 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 rehabilitation asset is depreciated on the same basis as mining assets. 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 mining assets with a corresponding entry to the rehabilitation provision. The Company’s estimates are reviewed annually for changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and changes in estimates. Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Company’s estimates of reclamation costs, are charged to profit or loss for the year. As at December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has determined that it does not have any decommissioning obligations. (r) Lease Liability Accounting Policy At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases of right-of-use assets are recognized at the lease commencement date at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, and otherwise at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. At the commencement date, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received. 35 Each lease payment is allocated between repayment of the lease principal and interest. Interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term is allocated to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability. Except where the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset, the Company recognizes in profit or loss (a) the interest on a lease liability and (b) variable lease payments not included in the measurement of a lease liability in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. The Company subsequently measures a right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term, except where the lease contains a bargain purchase option a right-of-use asset is depreciated over the asset’s useful life. (s) New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Not Yet Effective Certain pronouncements were issued by the ISAB or the IFRS Interpretive Committee that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning January 1, 2022 or later periods. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company. Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendment to IAS 1) The amendment to IAS 1 provides a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual agreements in place at the reporting date. These amendments are effective for the reporting dates beginning on or after January 1, 2023. 3.

The Company does not carry title insurance. The Company has evaluated title to all of its mineral properties and believes, to the best of its knowledge, that evidence of title is adequate and acceptable given the current stage of exploration. Exploration and Evaluation Assets (Royalties) In the third Quarter 2017, the Company reached an agreement with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) (NYSE MKT: SAND, TSX: SSL) to grant royalties on three projects in consideration of the payment of $1,500,000 USD. The package of assets in the Royalty Sale includes:  the grant of a 1% Net Smelter Return (NSR) on the Company’s wholly owned Botswana subsidiary Gcwihaba Resources (Pty) Ltd. prospecting metal licenses in northwest Botswana; the grant of a 1% Gross Proceeds Royalty (GPR) on the Company’s Botswana wholly owned subsidiary Bosoto (Pty) Ltd. precious stone prospecting license (PL217/2016) located in the Orapa Kimberlite Field; and, the grant of a 1% NSR on the Company’s 70% owned South African subsidiary Idada 361 (Pty) Ltd. gold and silver prospecting license located in the Barberton Greenstone Belt in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa.   Sandstorm shall have a right of first refusal with respect to any third-party bona fide offers to purchase a metal or precious 37 stone royalty on the properties. On July 23, 2020, the Company reached an agreement with TBM (Pty) Ltd. ("TBM") to grant royalties (Royalty income) on its Botswana subsidiary Gcwihaba (Pty) Ltd. ("Gcwihaba") then seven (7) metal prospecting licenses in consideration of the payment of $500,000 USD. The package of assets in the Royalty Sale includes:  the grant of a 0.5% Net Smelter Return or Net Mineral Return on Gcwihaba's five (5) prospecting metal licenses in northwest Botswana. Gcwihaba Resources (Pty) Ltd (“Gcwihaba”) – Botswana In 2017, Gcwihaba, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, held twenty-one (21) metal (base, precious, platinum group, and rare earth) Prospecting Licenses (PL) in the North-West district of which seven (7) were then in renewal. A review of the merits of each license was undertaken in the fourth quarter of 2017 in an effort to determine which licenses were the most prospective in terms of exploration, discovery and development and an economic resource. The review determined that 7 licenses were more prospective than the others. A series of meetings were held with the Department of Mines (“DOM”) and it was proposed that the Company would relinquish the aforesaid twenty-one (21) licenses in exchange for an initial grant of the core seven (7) licenses. The proposal was accepted by the DOM and the 21 licenses were relinquished at year-end and the core seven licenses were given an initial grant effective October 1, 2018. These new licenses have an initial grant term of three (3) years to be followed by 2 two-year renewal periods. The relinquishment of the aforementioned licenses or portions thereof did not cause a reduction or change in the continuing overall exploration program nor impact the chances of the overall success of the program. Two-year renewal applications were filed in the second quarter reducing the overall license package from 4,021 km2 to 2,465 km2 consisting of five (5) prospecting licenses. The reduction in the license area package neither impaired the licenses nor had an impact of the prospectivity of the project area. On November 30, 2021, PL’s 021- 024/2018 were renewed for a two-year term effective January 1, 2022. PL020 is pending approval. The four licenses combined have a minimum exploration expenditure requirement of 8,020,080 BWP ($676,654) USD as at December 31, 2021. Bosoto (Pty) Ltd (“Bosoto”) - Botswana Tsodilo was granted PL369/2014 over the BK16 kimberlite pipe through its 100% owned Botswana subsidiary, Bosoto, effective October 1, 2014. The prospecting license was renewed for an additional two-year period commencing October 1, 2017 and a second two-year renewal application was granted effective October 1, 2019. On June 21, 2021, a two-year extension of the license was granted effective October 1, 2021. The diamondiferous BK16 kimberlite pipe is located within the Orapa Kimberlite Field in Botswana and covered by 25 meters of Kalahari Group sediments. BK16 is located 37 km east-southeast of the Orapa Diamond Mine AK01, 25 km southeast of the Damshtaa Diamond Mine, and 13 km north-northeast of the Letlhakane Diamond Mine, all operated by Debswana and 28 km east-northeast from Lucara Diamond Corporation's Karowe mine (F/K/A AK6). Tsodilo has a 100% interest in Bosoto. The Company estimated that it would take approximately BWP 42,002,000 ($3,374,969 USD as at December 31, 2021) in expenditures, goods and services over the two year renewal period to continue the evaluation of the BK16 kimberlite’s economic potential and if warranted the preparation of a compliant NI 43-101 Feasibility Study (FS). This estimate is based on the agreed work plan with Ministry of Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security (MMGE). At any point the work plan may be amended, and a new work plan agreed to with the MMGE. PL 217/2016 is situated within the Orapa Kimberlite Field and is located some 10 km south of the Orapa Mining area and with the same distance to the west of the Letlhakane Mining lease. It surrounds the Karowe Mining lease, while the BK11 prospect is directly to the east of the license. PL 217/2016 was acquired in the second quarter of 2017. The license has an effective date of January 1, 2017 for an initial period of 3 years followed by two 2-year renewals. The first renewal was granted on June 29, 2020 with a commencement date of July 1, 2020 for a period of two-years. The license currently covers an area of 292 square kilometers and has a minimum exploration expenditure requirement of 1,002,920 BWP ($84,617 USD as at December 31, 2021. 38 Newdico (Pty) Ltd (“Newdico”) - Botswana The Company holds a 100% interest in Newdico, which holds one (1) industrial minerals prospecting license PL091/2019, effective January 1, 2020. The license comprises 580 square kilometers and has a proposed minimum spending commitment of BWP 132,830 ($11,207 USD as at December 31, 2021). Newdico also provides administrative, operational, exploration, geophysical and drilling services to the Company’s other subsidiaries. Idada Trading 361 (Pty) Ltd (“Idada”) – South Africa The Company holds a 70% interest in its South African subsidiary, Idada. Idada made application for an exploration license (Ref: MP30/5/1/1/2/1047PR) in the Barberton area in February 2012. During the second quarter 2015, notice was received from the Department of Mineral Resources, South Africa which granted the Company the prospecting rights for gold and silver in the applied for area subject to certain subsequent conditions being met. The Company has fulfilled those requirements and the Prospecting Right, together with the EMP, was executed and became effective on April 7, 2016. The Prospecting Right was been granted for a term of five years effective as of May 2015. Notices were sent to all surface owners of the five farms informing the owners of our intent to access the property to commence exploration activities. Three landowners, holding most of the target ground, have denied access. This issue has been submitted to the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) for resolution. During the third quarter 2019, the Company was informed that certain portions of our license areas were designated as a World Heritage site by UNESCO. UNESCO has informed the Company that in accordance with the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention, UNESCO is investigating the situation that the Company brought to their attention. UNESCO has informed the Company that according to IUCN, the Advisory Body to the intergovernmental World Heritage Committee concerning nominations of natural heritage sites on the World Heritage List, the overlapping prospecting license on the western portion of the property or of the presence of Tsodilo Resources Ltd was not brought to the attention of IUCN during the evaluation process. The documentation related to the evaluation and inscription of the site on the World Heritage List from UNESCO’s website at: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1575/documents . As the responsibility for nominating sites to the World Heritage List and the management and protection of the World Heritage properties inscribed is under the authority of the State Party of South Africa, UNESCO advised the Company that they would be contacting the appropriate South African office for clarification. To date, it is the Company’s understanding that neither the Department of Mineral Affairs (DMA) nor the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) has responded to UNESCO’s inquiry. In addition to UNESCO’s inquiries, the Company also contacted the DMA for guidance and received a response, but before the issue could be dealt with the South African government was shut down due to the COVID-19 virus. The Company will continue our efforts to engage the DMA once the government resumes its activities on a full-time basis. In the interim, the Company has filed a renewal application to protect our license rights. The license comprises 9,033 hectares and all expenditures have been curtailed until such time as access to the license area is provided. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company determined to stop all efforts to protect its license rights as all efforts to contact its Black Empowerment Partner and the DMA and DEA have failed as all parties are not responsive. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the property was impaired in full. Covid-19 Pandemic Relief In the first Quarter of 2020, the Company initiated efforts to get Covid-19 relief from expenditure and work requirements on our prospecting licenses due to the exceptional and debilitating global effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the Ministry of Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security informed those holding prospecting licenses that they would entertain granting relief from work and expenditure requirements on a case-by-case basis. Applications for relief were filed for the Gcwihaba and Bosoto licenses and on January 8, 2021 the Ministry in accordance with Section 22 of the Mines and Minerals Act, approved the cancellation of one (1) year of prospecting programme of Bosoto Prospecting License No. PL 369/2014 and PL 217/2016 and Gcwihaba Prospecting Licenses Nos. PL 020 – 026/2018, with an effect date from April 1, 2020. 39 4.

As at December 31, 2021 the Company’s property, plant and equipment in Botswana was $212,009 (2020: 248,086). No revenues were realized for exploration and evaluation properties that are detailed in note 3 above. Segment long-term exploration and evaluations properties in Botswana were $6,813,782 (2020: $7,055,535) and South Africa were $NIL (2020: $7,792). 46 12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities and notes payable. The carrying values of these items as presented in the consolidated financial statements are reasonable estimates of fair values due to the maturity and the terms of these instruments. Risk Exposure and Management The Company is exposed to various financial instrument risks and assesses the impact and likelihood of this exposure. These risks include liquidity risk, credit risk, foreign exchange risk, and interest rate risk. Where material these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors. (a) Capital Management 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 and exploration of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company depends on external financing to fund its activities. The capital structure of the Company currently consists of common shares and stock options. 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, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash on hand. See note 3 for a description of royalty interests sold in 2020 which provided $500,000 in cash to be used in further exploration and evaluation. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company raised USD $1,151,821 (C$1,465,702) net of issuance costs by selling equity capital in the form of units. Each unit was priced at C$0.50 and includes one common share and one warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of USD $0.55. On July 12, 2021 options were exercised for $34,136 (C$42,500). On September 30, 2021 warrants were exercised in USD $0.55 per share for $79,090. On December 31, 2021 warrants were exercised in USD $0.55 per share for 21,007. On December 31, 2021 options were exercised for $45,674 (C$58,375). In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets, which are approved by the Board of Directors and updated as necessary depending on various factors, including capital deployment and general industry conditions. The Company anticipates continuing to access equity markets to fund continued exploration of its mineral properties and the future growth of the business. However, there is no guarantee that such financing will be available when required. There has been no change in the Company’s approach to capital management during 2021. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. (b) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage. Thus, it is dependent on obtaining regular financings in order to continue its exploration programs. Despite previous success in acquiring these financings, there is no guarantee of obtaining future financings. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,791,640 at December 31, 2021 (2020: 1,811,417). (c) Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet it contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and accounts receivable. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. The majority of the Company’s cash is held with a major Canadian based financial institution. There are no loss allowances required. (d) Interest Rate Risk The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the interest rate impact on its cash. Because the cash is held on deposit at financial institutions and may be withdrawn at any time, and because the notes payable have fixed interest rates, the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is not significant. (e) Foreign Exchange Risk The Company is exposed to currency risks on its Pula denominated net assets due to changes in the USD/BWP exchange rate. Based on the net Pula denominated asset and liability exposures as at December 31, 2021, a ten 47 percentage change in the exchange rate would result in a ($84,259) (2020: $104,030) impact to the Company’s net comprehensive income/(loss). The Company issues equity in Canadian dollars and the majority of its expenditures are in U.S. dollars. The Company purchases U.S. dollars based on its near term forecast expenditures and does not hedge its exposure to currency fluctuations. 13.
