B. CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS

Not applicable.

C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Not applicable.

D. RISK FACTORS

The risk factors associated with the principal business of the Company are discussed below. The Company does not currently hold any mineral properties but is looking for new opportunities. If it acquires a new mineral property(s), the Company would be subject to the highly speculative nature of the resources industry characterized by the requirement for large capital investments from an early stage and a very small probability of finding economic mineral deposits. In addition to the general risks of mining, there are country-specific risks, including currency, political, social, permitting and legal risk. An investor should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information that Quartz Mountain furnishes to, or files with, the Securities and Exchange Commission and with Canadian securities regulators before investing in Quartz Mountain's common shares, and should not consider an investment in Quartz Mountain unless the investor is capable of sustaining an economic loss of the entire investment. The Company's actual exploration and operating results may be very different from those expected as at the date of this document.

Going Concern Assumption

The Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis. However, unless additional funding is obtained, this assumption will have to change. The Company has positive working capital, and incurred losses since inception. Failure to continue as a going concern would require that Quartz Mountain's assets and liabilities be restated on a liquidation basis, which could differ significantly from the going concern basis.

Additional Funding Requirements

Further development of the Company's continued operations will require additional capital. The Company currently does not have sufficient funds to explore the properties it holds. It is possible that the financing required by the Company will not be available, or, if available, will not be available on acceptable terms. If the Company does issue treasury shares to finance its operations or expansion plans, shareholders will suffer dilution of their investment and control of the Company may change. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company will not be able to remain in business. In addition, a positive production decision at any of the Company's current projects or any other development projects acquired in the future will require significant resources and funding for project engineering and construction. Accordingly, any development of the Company's properties depends upon the Company's ability to obtain financing through debt financing, equity financing, the joint venturing, or disposition of its current projects, or other means. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining financing for these or other purposes, including for general working capital.

Future Profits/Losses and Production Revenues/Expenses

The Company has no history of mining operations or earnings, and expects that its losses and negative cash flow will continue for the foreseeable future. No deposit that has been shown to be economic has yet been found on the Company's projects. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire any additional properties. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable in the future. The Company's operating expenses and capital expenditures may increase in subsequent years as consultants, personnel and equipment associated with advancing exploration, development and commercial production of any properties that the Company may acquire are added. The amounts and timing of expenditures will depend on the progress of on-going exploration, the results of consultants' analyses and recommendations, the rate at which operating losses are incurred, the execution of any joint venture agreements with strategic partners, and the Company's acquisition of a property(s) and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The Company does not expect to receive revenues from operations in the foreseeable future, and expects to incur losses unless and until such time as it acquires a property(s), commence commercial production, and generate sufficient revenues to fund its continuing operations. The development of any properties the Company may acquire will require the commitment of substantial resources to conduct the time-consuming exploration and development of properties. The Company anticipates that it would retain any cash resources and potential future earnings for the future operation and development of the Company's business. The Company has not paid dividends since incorporation and the Company does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate any revenues or achieve profitability. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumed levels of expenses will prove to be accurate. To the extent that such expenses do not result in the creation of appropriate revenues, the Company's business will be materially adversely affected. It is not possible to forecast how the business of the Company will develop.

Exploration, Development and Mining Risks

Resource exploration, development, and operations are highly speculative, characterized by a number of significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not reduce, including among other things, unsuccessful efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labor disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides, and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment, or labor are other risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration programs. The Company will rely upon consultants and others for exploration, development, construction, and operating expertise. Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineral resources and mineral reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from mineral resources, and in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining.

No assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which are highly cyclical; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Permits and Licenses and Title

Although the Company has exercised reasonable due diligence with respect to determining title to properties it owns or leases, there is no guarantee that title to such properties and other tenure will not be challenged or impugned. No assurances can be given that there are no title defects affecting the properties. There may be valid challenges to the title of the Company’s properties which, if successful, could make the Company unable to operate its properties as planned or permitted, or unable to enforce its rights with respect to its properties. In British Columbia the rights of aboriginal peoples and their claims to much of the Province are not settled.

Changes in Local Legislation or Regulation

Any mining and processing operations that may be acquired and any exploration activities that might be conducted would be subject to extensive laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, exploration, development, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine and worker safety, protection of endangered and other special status species and other matters. The Company's ability to obtain permits and approvals and to successfully operate in particular communities may be adversely impacted by real or perceived detrimental events associated with the Company's activities or those of other mining companies affecting the environment, human health and safety of the surrounding communities. Delays in obtaining or failure to obtain government permits and approvals may adversely affect the Company's operations, including its ability to explore or develop properties, commence production or continue operations. Failure to comply with applicable environmental and health and safety laws and regulations may result in injunctions, fines, suspension, or revocation of permits and other penalties. The costs and delays associated with compliance with these laws, regulations and permits could prevent the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or further development of a mine or increase the costs of development or production and may materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition. The Company may also be held responsible for the costs of addressing contamination at the site of current or former activities or at third party sites. The Company could also be held liable for exposure to hazardous substances.

Environmental Matters

All of the operations that the Company might acquire would be subject to environmental regulations, which can make operations expensive or prohibit them altogether. The Company may be subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and the disposal of waste products that could occur because of its mineral exploration, development, and production. In addition, environmental hazards may exist on a property in which the Company directly or indirectly holds an interest, which are unknown to the Company at present and have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the Company's projects. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations that would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, or the requirement to remedy environmental pollution, which would reduce funds otherwise available to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. If the Company is unable to remedy an environmental problem, it could be required to suspend operations or undertake interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations. There is also a risk that the environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous, making the Company's operations more expensive. Many of the environmental laws and regulations will require the Company to obtain permits for its activities. The Company will be required to update and review its permits from time to time, and may be subject to environmental impact analyses and public review processes prior to approval of the additional activities. It is possible that future changes in applicable laws, regulations, and permits or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could have a significant impact on some portion of the Company's business, causing those activities to be economically re-evaluated at that time.

Groups Opposed to Mining May Interfere with the Company's Efforts to Explore and Develop its Properties

Organizations opposed to mining may be active in the regions in which the Company conducts its exploration activities. Although the Company intends to comply with all environmental laws and maintain good relations with local communities, there is still the possibility that those opposed to mining will attempt to interfere with the development of any property(s) the Company might acquire. Such interference could have an impact on the Company's ability to explore and develop its properties in a manner that is most efficient or appropriate, or at all and any such impact could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

Market for Securities and Volatility of Share Price

There can be no assurance that an active trading market in the Company's securities will be established or sustained. The market price for the Company's securities is subject to wide fluctuations. Factors such as announcements of exploration results, as well as market conditions in the industry or the economy as a whole, may have a significant adverse impact on the market price of the securities of the Company.

The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.

Conflicts of Interest

The Company's directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other companies, joint venture partners, or companies providing services to the Company or they may have significant shareholdings in other companies. Situations may arise where the directors and/or officers of the Company may be in competition with the Company. Any conflicts of interest will be subject to and governed by the law applicable to directors' and officers' conflicts of interest. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company's directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In accordance with applicable laws, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

General Economic Conditions

Global financial markets have experienced a sharp increase in volatility during the last few years. Market conditions and unexpected volatility or illiquidity in financial markets may adversely affect the prospects of the Company and the value of the Company's shares.

Reliance on Key Personnel

The Company is dependent on the continued services of its senior management team, and its ability to retain other key personnel. The loss of such key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance that any of the Company's employees will remain with the Company or that, in the future, the employees will not organize competitive businesses or accept employment with companies competitive with the Company.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract, train, or retain qualified personnel in the future, which would adversely affect its business.

Competition

The resources industry is highly competitive in all its phases, and the Company will compete with other mining companies, many of which have greater financial, technical, and other resources. Competition in the mining industry is primarily for attractive mineral rich properties capable of being developed and producing economically; the technical expertise to find, develop, and operate such properties; the labor to operate the properties; and the capital for the purpose of funding such properties. Many competitors not only explore for and mine certain minerals, but also conduct production and marketing operations on a worldwide basis. Such competition may result in the Company being unable to acquire desired properties, to recruit or retain qualified employees or to acquire the capital necessary to fund its operations and develop any property(s) the Company might acquire. The Company's inability to compete with other mining companies for these resources could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's results of operation and its business.

Uninsurable Risks

In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, certain risks, and in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and the Company may decide not to take out insurance against such risks because of high premiums or other reasons.

Likely PFIC status has consequences for United States investors

Potential investors who are U.S. taxpayers should be aware that the Company expects to be classified for U.S. tax purposes as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for the current fiscal year, and may also have been a PFIC in prior years and may be a PFIC in future years. If the Company is a PFIC for any year during a U.S. taxpayer's holding period, then such U.S. taxpayer generally will be required to treat any so-called "excess distribution" on its common shares, or any gain realized upon a disposition of common shares, as ordinary income which would be taxed at the shareholder's highest marginal rates and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such distribution or gain, unless the taxpayer has made a timely qualified electing fund ("QEF") election or a mark-to-market election with respect to the shares of the Company. In certain circumstances, the sum of the tax and the interest charge may exceed the amount of the excess distribution received, or the amount of proceeds of disposition realized, by the taxpayer. A U.S. taxpayer who makes a QEF election generally must report on a current basis its share of the Company's net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which the Company is a PFIC, whether or not the Company distributes any amounts to its shareholders. A U.S. taxpayer who makes the mark-to-market election generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the common shares over the taxpayer's tax basis therein. See also Item 10E – "Passive Foreign Investment Company".

Potential investors should also note that recently enacted legislation may require U.S. shareholders to report their interest in a PFIC on an annual basis. US shareholders of the Company should consult their tax advisors as to these reporting requirements as well as the consequences of investing in the Company.

Penny stock classification

Penny stock classification could affect the marketability of the Company's common stock and shareholders could find it difficult to sell their stock

The penny stock rules in the United States require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.

Further, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These additional broker-dealer practice and disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Company's common shares in the U.S., and shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The Company's Business Strategy and Principal Activities

Quartz Mountain has been in the business of exploring and advancing mineral properties. The Company’s activities on the properties have been primarily focused on ascertaining whether the properties host commercially viable mineral deposits.

In the first three years of its existence, the Company was active in the exploration of small gold and silver prospects in Canada, but none of these prospects warranted further exploration or development. In 1986, the Company acquired the Quartz Mountain gold property, located in south central Oregon, and until January 2002, most of the Company's efforts were expended on the exploration and maintenance of these claims. The Company's interests in the Quartz Mountain gold property, and in its other properties, were acquired by direct purchase, lease, and option, or through joint ventures.

The Company sold the Quartz Mountain gold property during 2002, to Seabridge Resources Ltd. and Seabridge Resources Inc. (collectively "Seabridge"). Seabridge subsequently changed its name to Seabridge Gold Inc. At closing, Quartz Mountain received 300,000 Seabridge common shares, 200,000 Seabridge common share purchase warrants, US$100,000, and a 1% NSR from any future production on the Quartz Mountain gold property. The Seabridge warrants were exercised and all Seabridge common shares held by the Company have been sold. The Company sold its interest in the 1% NSR to Gold Royalty U.S. Corp. in February 2021.

Following the sale of the Quartz Mountain gold property, the Company continued in its efforts to find a suitable mineral property for potential acquisition and exploration during the period of 2002 to 2011.

In December 2011, the Company acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the Buck gold-silver property (the “Buck Project”) near the town of Houston in central British Columbia (“BC”). Concurrently with the Buck Project acquisition, the Company completed a $4.2 million private placement financing and began trading on the TSX-V. Exploration programs were carried out at Buck in 2011 and 2012, confirming targets. Difficult financing conditions for junior companies in 2013 necessitated that the Company limit its exploration expenditures and prioritize its property holdings. As a result, Quartz Mountain terminated its option on the Buck Project in July 2013.

In August 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the Galaxie copper-gold property (the “Galaxie Project”) in northwestern BC, and in 2012 carried out exploration programs within the property at five new prospects within the property as well as at the Gnat porphyry copper deposit.

Quartz Mountain acquired the ZNT Project by utilizing British Columbia’s on-line mineral tenure system in 2012. The ZNT Project is located 15 kilometers southeast of the town of Smithers, British Columbia. Exploration in 2012 and 2013 has identified potential for the discovery of a bulk tonnage silver deposit at ZNT.

In November 2012, Quartz Mountain entered into an option and joint venture agreement with Amarc Resources Ltd. (“Amarc”) pursuant to which Amarc could earn a 40% ownership interest, with an option to acquire an additional 10% ownership interest, in the Galaxie and ZNT Projects. Amarc gained an initial 40% interest in the Galaxie and ZNT Projects by funding a drilling program at Gnat porphyry copper deposit at the Galaxie Project in late 2012. In June 2013, Quartz Mountain and Amarc entered into an amendment agreement through which Amarc had an option until October 31, 2013 to earn a 60% interest in each of the ZNT and Galaxie properties, by making certain property expenditures. Amarc earned a 60% interest in the ZNT Project but earned only a 40% interest in the Galaxie Project. In April 2014, Amarc terminated joint ventures with the Company and returned earned interests in the Galaxie and ZNT Projects in BC and Quartz Mountain owned 100% of the Galaxie and ZNT Projects.

After carrying out exploration in 2012 and 2013, the ZNT Project did not warrant further work. The mineral claims comprising the property were allowed to lapse subsequent to the year ended July 31, 2016.

Work was also conducted at the Galaxie Project in 2012 and 2013 but, largely because of the prevailing difficult market conditions for mineral exploration companies, the Company has since been unable to secure a joint venture or option agreement to further advance exploration. As a result, during the year ended July 31, 2016, three mineral claims were returned to a vendor and subsequent to year-end, the remaining mineral claims comprising the property were allowed to lapse subsequent to year-end.

The Company continued to investigate new opportunities, and currently holds two mineral properties located in BC:

The Company does not have any operating revenue and anticipates that it will rely on sales of its equity securities in order to finance its acquisition and exploration activities.

C. MINERAL PROPERTIES

The following information has been summarized from company files, in particular, the Company’s June 14, 2022 news release on the Maestro property and the Company’s July 9, 2022 news release on the Jake property. The disclosure has been reviewed by Farshad Shirmohammad, P.Geo., a qualified person.

Introduction

In British Columbia, the holder of a mineral claim is granted ownership of all subsurface minerals. A Free Miners Certificate is required to stake a new claim or to receive ownership or an interest in an existing claim.

Mineral Titles in British Columbia are acquired and maintained via the Provincial Government’s “Mineral Titles Online” web site, which allows online, map-based claim staking. When a claimholder stakes a new claim, they have ownership of the claim for one year.

To continue to hold the claims after one year a claimholder must perform technical or physical assessment work on the claims and file a report detailing the work and the results or pay cash in lieu of performing assessment work. The cost of the work performed and reported is applied to extend the expiry dates of the claims. The exploration expenditures required to maintain claims is $5/ha per year for years 1 and 2, $10/ha per year for years 3 and 4, $15/ha per year for years 5 and 6, and thereafter $20 per year. If a claimholder elects to pay cash in lieu the cost is twice that of required exploration expenditures.

Jake Property

Property Description

On November 5, 2021, the Company entered into a mineral claims purchase agreement with United Mineral Services Ltd. (“UMS”) to acquire 100% interest in the Jake mineral property consisting of four staked claims (the “Jake Property”) and obtained an additional option to purchase 100% of five adjacent claims owned by Electrum Resource Corporation (“Electrum”), an arm’s length third party. The Property consists of a block of 10 contiguous mineral claims that cover an area of approximately 2,608 ha. All of the mineral claims currently have Good To Date (Expiry Date) of October 31, 2029, except for one newly acquired claim (Jake East) which was added to the claims block by staking on April 7, 2023 and has an expiry date of April 7, 2024..

The Company completed the purchase of 100% of the Jake Property from UMS by reimbursing UMS $200,000 for its costs to assemble the Property. UMS is a private company owned by Robert Dickinson, a controlling shareholder of Quartz Mountain and a non-arms-length vendor. The Electrum option was fulfilled by Quartz Mountain with a final payment of $75,000 in July 2023. The Electrum claims, also now owned 100% by Quartz Mountain are subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty which is capped at $3 million.

Location and Access

The Jake Property is located 160 km north of Smithers in northwestern BC. Smithers is a hub location for BC Provincial Government services.

The Property, currently only accessible by helicopter, is situated about 14 km southwest of the Suskeena Lodge, located on the Sustut River.

Access, Infrastructure, and Other Mine & Development Projects in the Region.

History

Historically, mineral exploration work on the Jake Property has occurred since 1965 and includes mapping, sampling, geophysics, trenching, backpack and diamond drilling, and road building. To date, two deposit target areas – Jake North and Jake South – have been identified. Noteworthy historical exploration work includes:

In the period 2016 through 2020, UMS conducted an aerial magnetic survey and reinterpreted historical geochemical data over the entire Property and conducted geological mapping and sampling over Jake South.

The magnetic target survey was flown at 200 m line spacing and provides excellent detail for interpreting the property geology. Results from the survey show several large magnetic highs, one associated with Cu+Au mineralization intersected in 1999 core drilling at Jake North by Teck Corporation (“Teck”). 

At the request of Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd., a Technical Report on the Jake Property was prepared for the Company by Charles J. Greig (C.J. Greig & Associates Ltd.) and published in 2022 (the “2022 report”). The Qualified Person (QP), Charles J. Greig, P.Geo., conducted an independent evaluation of the Jake Property, which included a site inspection in October 2021.

The 2022 Technical Report concluded that “the Jake Property has been shown to host broad areas of alteration and precious and base metals mineralization characteristic of Cu + Au porphyry-type, as well as low-sulphidation epithermal type and Ag-rich polymetallic vein systems”. Further phased exploration programs, comprising geological mapping, geochemical sampling, IP surveys, and diamond drilling was recommended by the author.

Geology

The geology of Jake consists of Upper Jurassic Bowser Lake Group sedimentary rocks that are intersected by a series of north to northeast-trending monzonite dykes of the Tertiary Babine Plutonic Suite. Mineralization at the Jake Property is situated within a prominent gossan measuring 3.75 km long by 1.5 km wide. 

Within the gossan is a series of north-northeast trending dyke swarms that intrude into sedimentary rocks.  The combination of results from historical and recent work has outlined a broadly altered and mineralized area comprising porphyry-style sulphide disseminations, and quartz-sulphide stockwork veins hosting Cu-Au±Mo mineralization.

Pronounced Jake Gossan, Covering Both Jake North and Jake South, Indicates the Presence of a Large Mineral System.

Within this are the Jake North and Jake South areas of interest with the potential for Cu+Au porphyry-type, as well as Au-Ag low-sulphidation epithermal and Ag-rich polymetallic vein deposits that warrant further testing.

Recent Work

Quartz Mountain completed approximately 8.5 line-km of Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey on Jake’s high-priority targets during July 2022, and has received government approval for a total of 50 core drilling sites, to be developed within the next five years. The Company is currently working on processing and modeling of the geophysical results to delineate drill targets, and also preparing/filing the related Assessment Report with the BC government.

Jake Property Claim Map and Location of the 2022 IP Survey Lines (Line 2000 N To Line 5000 N).

Positive IP survey results, indicating the presence of a large-scale, near surface sulphide system, open and expanding to depth, were obtained from surveying the Jake North porphyry Cu-Au target area. In 1973 and 1999, historical drill holes, of which the most westerly ones (73-3 and 99-04) ended in porphyry Cu-Au style mineralization, were drilled shallow and outboard from the newly established targets.

There was no work done in 2023.

Maestro Property

Property Description

On June 8, 2021, the Company entered into a mineral claims purchase agreement with a third party vendor, to purchase nine mineral claims located near Houston, British Columbia for $105,000 in cash and 1,000,000 shares in the capital of the Company.

These claims are subject to a 2.5% NSR which can be bought down to 1% for $1.5 million, and this NSR is subject to an annual advance payment of $25,000. There are no required work commitments for these claims as this transaction is a purchase of the mineral claims and not an option.

Another claim was purchased outright from another third party vendor by the Company for $ 2,000.

The property consists of a block of 11 contiguous mineral claims, with two windows of third party claims internal to the block. The 11 claims that comprise the property cover an area of 2,140 ha. All claims are 100% owned by Quartz Mountain and they are all in good standing until May 31, 2030, except for one newly acquired claim (MST1) which was added to the claims block by staking on June 23, 2023 and has an expiry date of June 23, 2024.

Location and Infrastructure

The Maestro Property is located in central British Columbia, 15 km north of Houston and 50 km south of Smithers. Highway 16 intersects the western edge of the Property, enabling easy access to nearby infrastructure including airports, railways, and power. The central region of the Property is accessible by numerous drill roads constructed by past operators.

Maestro Property location, access, and infrastructures.

History

The Maestro Property and surrounding area has over 100 years of mineral exploration history dating back to 1914; however, work has only been accurately recorded from the 1960’s onwards and includes mapping, sampling, geophysics, trenching, percussion, and diamond drilling.  Most of this work in and surrounding the Property focused on porphyry Mo±Cu mineralization for the Lone Pine Molybdenum Deposit, which lies internal to the Maestro claims.  Because of the focus on the Lone Pine porphyry, the precious metal potential of the surrounding area has not been systematically explored. 

Notable historical drilling includes:

Geology

The geology of Maestro consists mainly of Lower to Middle Jurassic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks from the Hazelton Group and, to a lesser amount, Upper Jurassic sedimentary rocks from the Bowser Lake Group.  Both Groups are intruded by stocks and dikes belonging to the Late Cretaceous Bulkley and Tertiary Goosly suites. The Maestro Property covers three known precious and base metal mineralized zones, named Prodigy, Granby and Mineral Hill.  These zones are outbound of the Lone Pine Molybdenum Deposit which is internal to, but not on the property.

Maestro Property 1st Vertical Derivative of Total Magnetic Intensity

During October 2021, Quartz Mountain contracted Hardline Exploration Corp. (“HEC”) of Smithers, BC, to conduct a geochemical soil-sampling program on the Company’s 100%-owned Maestro Property. The 614-sample geochemical soil survey (100m x 100m grid) was implemented based on the extensive review and compilation of historical data and covered all three mineralized zones within the Maestro Property.

Mineralized Target Zones and Area Covered by Grid Soil Sampling (dashed outline).

Analyses of 614 grid-based soil samples collected on the Maestro Property delineated several base metal and pathfinder element anomalies. Geochemical modeling of the soil sample results, and historical drill data shows distinctive metal zonation, indicative of a potentially large hydrothermal mineralizing system.

The Company’s consulting geochemist recommended a property-wide 50 sample silt sampling program, employing “Super-Trace” analytical methodology, was conducted in October 2023 to detect potential gold values within the overall property. The Company is expecting to receive analytical results from the silt sampling program before year end 2023.

Approximately 50 Stream Samples Across the Maestro Property Are Planned to Detect Potential Gold Values.

Troy Property

Location and Access

The Troy property is situated in central British Columbia, approximately 170 km northeast of Smithers, BC. The property is not accessible by road; During the 2022 field season, crews accessed the property by helicopter from the Suskeena Lodge located on the Sustut River, around 70 kilometres northwest of the Property.

Property Description

The Troy Property consists of one claim staked in 2022. The claim was acquired by the Company based on its strong, open-ended copper geochemical signature reported in historical Assessment Reports. The Troy property covers the intersection of several main geological Terranes, Assemblages and Structures in the Cordillera, the rocks in which host several significant new deposit discoveries and past/current producing mines on other properties in the region. The Troy claim is currently in good standing until November 25, 2028.

Geology

The Troy Property is underlain by the Sitlika Assemblage, which is correlative with Kutcho Assemblage. The Kutcho Assemblage hosts the Kutcho copper-zinc-silver VMS deposit, located 260km to the northwest. The discovery of the Kutcho deposit was made by prospecting follow-up of geochemical anomalies from samples collected during a regional survey. A significant feature of VMS deposits from an exploration perspective is their tendency to occur in clusters.

The only known previous work on the Troy claim was a soil geochemical survey by a junior explorer during 2008. The Troy claim covers two targets identified by that historical geochemical survey; the first is an 800-m long anomaly of high copper concentrations in stream bank soil samples. Planned follow-up prospecting and mapping of the anomalous creek was never completed; and the second target is a multi-element geochemical soil anomaly, outlined at the southwest corner of the historical grid, open to the west and south.

In 2022, Quartz Mountain completed a grid-soil sampling program on the property. The widely spaced soil sampling program was designed to extend the sampling area to the west and southwest, where open-ended anomalous areas were identified by historical geochemical surveys.

A follow up program of prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical sampling of the newly discovered anomalous areas is warranted.

The Widely Spaced Soil Sampling Grid, Completed by QZM in 2022, Detected New Open Copper Anomalies in Soil.

Sale of Geological Data

On November 2, 2021 the Company entered into a binding Agreement with Torr Resources Corp. (“Torr”) whereby Torr agreed to purchase historical project data the Company had collected on the Galaxie Property for $150,000. The transaction was closed and cash payment was received on December 10, 2021.

D. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment – the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral property interests. The Company is currently focused on the acquisition and exploration of mineral property interests in Canada, and conducts most of its business affairs through its Canadian parent entity.

On March 2, 2023, the Company dissolved its two inactive wholly owned subsidiaries, QZMG Resources Ltd., a Nevada corporation who owns 100% interest in Wavecrest Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation.

ITEM 5 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS OVERVIEW

Effective May 27, 2020, the Company completed a forward share split (the “Share Split”) on the basis of two additional common shares for every common share outstanding prior to the Share Split. Outstanding warrants were adjusted by the same share split ratio. All references to shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to the Share Split.

On March 2, 2023, the Company’s only wholly owned subsidiaries, QZMG Resources Ltd. and Wavecrest Resources Inc. were dissolved.

On May 30, 2023, Robert Dickinson has resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and will remain Chairman, and that Trevor Thomas, Secretary of the Company, has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company pending recruitment of a permanent replacement. Leonie Tomlinson has resigned as the President and a director of the Company to pursue other opportunities.

The Company's financial statements are prepared on the basis that it will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, and the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to develop profitable operations. Quartz Mountain's financial statements do not reflect adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 and the related notes accompanying this Annual Report. The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The Company includes selected financial data prepared in compliance with IFRS without reconciliation to U.S. GAAP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The required disclosure is provided in note 2 of the accompanying audited financial statements as of and for the year ended July 31, 2022, which are presented in Exhibit 99.1 of this Annual Report on Form 20-F.

A. OPERATING RESULTS

Comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended July 31, 2023 vs. 2022

The Company recorded a loss from operations of $927,916 during the current fiscal year (2022 – $1,132,515). The loss incurred in fiscal 2023 was lower compared against the loss incurred in fiscal 2022 was due to the significantly lower exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred in fiscal 2023 compared against fiscal 2022. The reduction in exploration and evaluation expenditures was partially offset by an higher equity-settled share-based compensation in the amount of $640,860 was recognized in fiscal 2023 (2022 - $399,140) related to the options granted in October 2022.

$96,479 of exploration and evaluation expenses costs were incurred during the year ended July 31, 2023 (2022 -$514,132). During fiscal 2023, the Company was in its second year of the exploration program for Maestro Property and Jake Property in British Columbia, Canada since the initiation of the program in fiscal 2022.  Most of the upfront exploration costs was incurred in fiscal 2022.  As a result, the Company incurred significantly less exploration and evaluation expenses in fiscal 2023 compared against fiscal 2022.

The following table provides a breakdown of the exploration and evaluation expenses incurred:

The following table provides a breakdown of the administration costs incurred:

Administrative costs in fiscal 2023 decreased slightly compared to fiscal 2022 as the Company continued to adopt a cost effective approach. 

Comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended July 31, 2022 vs. 2021

The Company recorded a loss from operations of $1,132,515 during the current fiscal year (2021 – income of $254,168). The loss incurred in fiscal 2022 was significantly higher compared to the loss incurred in fiscal 2021 was due to increase level of exploration activities and the fair value of stock options ($399,140) recognized to equity settled share-based compensation. 

The total amount of exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred in the current fiscal year was $514,132 (2021 - $90,907). As the Company has commenced exploration projects on the Maestro and Jake Properties during fiscal 2022, the total exploration and evaluation expenditures increased from prior year.

The following table provides a breakdown of the exploration and evaluation expenditures for the current and prior years:

The total amount of general and administrative expenses increased in fiscal 2022 compared to that of fiscal 2021 due to increased level of corporate development activities.

The following table provides a breakdown of the administration costs incurred:

B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, the Company's source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements to sophisticated investors and institutions. The Company continues evaluating mineral prospects for potential acquisition and exploration in British Columbia. The Company's continuing operations are dependent upon new projects, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration of any new projects, the ability to obtain the necessary permits to explore, develop, and mine new projects, and the future profitable production of any mine. These material uncertainties raise substantial doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

At July 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $29,636,574 and has a working capital of $70,872.

In January 2016, the Company arranged with Hunter Dickinson Services Inc. (“HDSI”) to settle debt owing for services provided by HDSI whereby HDSI would forgive debt in the net amount owing at that time of $3,086,089, if the Company made a cash payment of $180,207 and issued 1,800,000 shares (pre- forward split basis of 600,000 shares) to HDSI. The TSX Venture Exchange approved the transaction with HDSI, the cash payment has been made, and issuance of the shares to HDSI was executed in December 2019. Additional debt or equity financing will be required to fund exploration or development programs. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to obtain additional financial resources or that it will be able to achieve positive cash flows.

Financial market conditions for junior exploration companies have resulted in very depressed equity prices. A further and continued deterioration in market conditions will increase the cost of obtaining capital and significantly limit the availability of funds to the Company in the future. Accordingly, management is actively monitoring the effects of the current economic and financing conditions on the Company’s business and reviewing discretionary spending, capital projects and operating expenditures, and implementing cash and cash management strategies.

Capital Resources

The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures as at July 31, 2023.

The Company has no lines of credit or other sources of financing which have been arranged but are as of yet, unused.

At July 31, 2023, there were no externally imposed capital requirements to which the Company is subject and with which the Company has not complied.

Requirement of Financing

The Company is in the process of assessing mineral property interests held by third parties for potential acquisition. The Company's continuing operations are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of these projects, obtaining the necessary permits to mine, on future profitable production of any mine and the proceeds from the disposition of the mineral property interests.

Additional debt or equity financing will be required to fund additional exploration or development programs. The Company has a reasonable expectation that additional funds will be available when necessary to meet ongoing exploration and development costs. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to obtain additional financial resources and/or achieve profitability or positive cash flows, which raises substantial doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a growing concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, the Company will be required to re-evaluate its planned expenditures until additional funds can be raised through financing activities.

The Company has no "Purchase Obligations" defined as any agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding on the Company that specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.

C. RESEARCH EXPENDITURES

Quartz Mountain does not carry out any research or development activities. Please refer to Item 5A and Item 5B above for a discussion of the expenditures that the Company has incurred in connection with its business activities.

D. TREND INFORMATION

The Company does not currently hold any properties.

E. OFF – BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Quartz Mountain has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

F. TABULAR DISCLOSURE OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The following obligations existed at July 31, 2023:

The Company has no material capital lease or operating lease obligations. The Company has no "Purchase Obligations", defined as any agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding on the Company that specifies all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.

G. SAFE HARBOR

The safe harbor provided in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act applies to forward-looking information provided pursuant to Item 5E and Item 5F above.

ITEM 7 MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS

Quartz Mountain is a publicly held corporation, with its shares held by residents of Canada, the United States of America and other countries.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of the Company's common stock as of November 24, 2023, by each shareholder known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the common stock.

All of the common shares have the same voting rights and no major shareholders of the Company have different voting rights.

HDSI

HDI and its wholly-owned subsidiary HDSI are private companies established by a group of mining professionals. HDSI provides contract services for a number of mineral exploration and development companies, and also to companies that are outside of the mining and mineral development space. The Company acquires services from a number of related and arms‐length contractors, and it is at the Company’s discretion that HDSI provides certain contract services.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and Corporate Secretary are employees of HDSI and are contracted to work for the Company under an employee secondment agreement between the Company and HDSI.

Pursuant to an agreement dated July 2, 2010, HDSI provides certain cost effective technical, geological, corporate communications, regulatory compliance, and administrative and management services to the Company, on a non‐exclusive basis as needed and as requested by the Company. Because of this relationship, the Company has ready access to a range of diverse and specialized expertise on a regular basis, without having to engage or hire full‐time employees or experts. The Company benefits from the economies of scale created by HDSI, which itself serves several clients both within and external to the exploration and mining sector.

The Company is not obligated to acquire any minimum amount of services from HDSI. The monetary amount of the services received from HDSI in a given period of time is a function of annually set and agreed charge‐out rates for and the time spent by each HDSI employee engaged by the Company.

HDSI also incurs third‐party costs on behalf of the Company. Such third party costs include, for example, directors and officers insurance, travel, conferences, and communication services. Third‐ party costs are billed at cost, without markup.

There are no ongoing contractual or other commitments resulting from the Company’s transactions with HDSI, other than the payment for services already rendered and billed. The agreement may be terminated upon 60 days’ notice by either the Company or HDSI.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023, the Company had transactions totaling $83,215 (2022 - $83,241; 2021 – $61,873) to HDSI for services and reimbursements of third party disbursements pursuant to this agreement.

In January 2016, the Company and HDSI reached a settlement agreement whereby HDSI agreed to forgive the balance due to HDSI in the net amount of $3,086,089 if the Company completes the following:

The cash payment of $180,207 was paid during the year ended July 31, 2018 and the shares were issued to HDSI during the year ended July 31, 2020, completing the settlement and resulting in a gain on settlement of debt of $2,779,882.

United Mineral Services Inc. (“UMS”)

In December 2018, the Company entered into a loan agreement with United Mineral Services Ltd. (the “Lender”), a company owned by a former director, pursuant to which the Lender advanced to the Company a principal sum of $100,000 with a six-month term, at an interest rate of 10% per annum calculated monthly and payable quarterly. The principal amount and related interest were repaid during the year ended July 31, 2020.

B. MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION Articles of Association

Quartz Mountain’s original corporate constituting documents comprised of the Memorandum and Articles of Association were registered with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies under Corporation No. BC0253743. The Company’s Memorandum and Articles have subsequently been replaced by a Notice of Articles and Articles under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCA”), and the Articles were last amended by shareholder resolution at the Company’s Annual General Meeting, held on February 24, 2014. The Company’s articles of incorporation do not contain a description or place any restrictions on the Company’s objects and purposes. For more information, see the Articles of Amalgamation filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 20-F.

Certain Powers of Directors

The Company’s articles require that a director or senior officer who holds any office or possesses any property, right or interest that could result, directly or indirectly, in the creation of a duty or interest that materially conflicts with that individual’s duty or interest as a director or senior officer, must disclose the nature and extent of the conflict as required by the BCA.

The BCA requires that every director or senior officer who is a party to, or who is a director or officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to, a material contract or transaction or a proposed material contract or transaction with the Company, must disclose in writing to the Company or request to have entered in the minutes of a meeting or a consent resolution of directors, the nature and extent of his or her interest, and must refrain from voting in respect of the contract or transaction, unless the contract or transaction is: (a) one relating primarily to his or her remuneration as a director of the corporation or an affiliate; (b) one for indemnity of or insurance for directors as contemplated under the BCA; or (c) one with an affiliate of the Company. However, a director who is prohibited by the BCA from voting on a material contract or proposed material contract may be counted in determining whether a quorum is present for the purpose of the resolution, if the director disclosed his or her interest in accordance with the BCA and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the corporation at the time it was approved.

The Company's Articles provide that the Board will from time to time determine the remuneration to be paid to the directors. The Company must reimburse each director for the reasonable expenses that he or she may incur in and about the business of the Company. The Board may also, by resolution, award special remuneration to any director for undertaking any professional or other services on the Company’s behalf, outside than the ordinary duties of a director of the Company.

The Company’s Articles provide that the directors may: (a) borrow money in the manner and amount, on the security, from the sources and on the terms and conditions that they consider appropriate; (b) issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations either outright or as security for any liability or obligation of the Company or any other person and at such discounts or premiums and on such other terms as the directors consider appropriate; (c) guarantee the repayment of money by any other person or the performance of any obligation of any other person; and (d) mortgage, charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, grant a security interest in, or give other security on, the whole or any part of the present and future assets and undertaking of the Company.

The directors may, by resolution, amend or repeal any articles that regulate the business or affairs of the Company. The BCA requires the directors to submit any such amendment or repeal to the Company’s shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, and the shareholders may confirm, reject, or amend the amendment or repeal.

The Board does not have a mandatory retirement policy for directors based solely on age. The Company has a practice of conducting annual Board, Committee, and individual director evaluations, pursuant to which each director’s performance is evaluated annually. There is no minimum share ownership requirement for director’s qualification.

Authorized Share Capital

The Company’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value, and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value.

All outstanding common shares of the Company are fully paid and non-assessable. The holders of the common shares are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of shareholders and to receive dividends if, as, and when declared by the directors of the Company. In the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, after payment of all outstanding debts, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution would be distributed ratably to the holders of the common shares. Holders of the common shares of the Company have no pre- emptive, redemption, exchange, or conversion rights.

The preferred shares may be issued in series on such terms as determined by the Company's directors in accordance with the class rights and restrictions. The special rights and restrictions attaching to the preferred shares are set forth in Part 26 of the Articles, and provide the directors with wide latitude to create a series of preferred shares which may be convertible into common shares, and have attached to them rights that rank ahead of common shares in respect of entitlement to dividends. The directors may, by resolution, create, define, and attach special rights and restrictions to the shares of each series, subject to the special rights and restrictions attached to the preferred shares.

Except as described above, the Company may not create any class or series of shares or make any modification to the provisions attaching to the Company’s shares without the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the common shares.

Majority Voting Policy

Under the Company’s Corporate Governance Manual, in an uncontested director election, if the votes “for” the election of a director nominee at a meeting of shareholders are fewer than the number voted “withhold”, the nominee is expected to submit his or her resignation promptly after the meeting for the consideration of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors after reviewing the matter, and the Board of Directors will then decide whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Board’s decision to accept or reject the resignation will be disclosed to shareholders. The nominee will not participate in any Nominating and Governance Committee deliberations whether to accept or reject the resignation.

Meetings of Shareholders

The BCA requires the Company to call an annual shareholders’ meeting not later than 15 months after holding the last preceding annual meeting and permits the Company to call a special shareholders’ meeting at any time. In addition, in accordance with the BCA, the holders of not less than 5% of the Company’s shares carrying the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may requisition the directors to call a special shareholders’ meeting for the purposes stated in the requisition. The Company is required to mail a notice of meeting and management information circular to registered shareholders not less than 21 days and not more than 2 months prior to the date of any annual or special shareholders’ meeting. These materials are also filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and furnished to the SEC. The Company’s articles provide that a quorum of two shareholders in person or represented by proxy holding or representing by proxy at least 10% of the Company’s issued shares carrying the right to vote at the meeting is required to transact business at a shareholders' meeting. In addition to shareholders and their duly appointed proxies and corporate representatives, the Company’s directors, president, secretary, lawyers, auditors, and invitees of the directors or chairperson, are entitled to be admitted to the Company’s annual and special shareholders’ meetings; provided that any such person is not to be counted in the quorum and is not entitled to vote at the meeting unless that person is a shareholder or proxy holder entitled to vote at the meeting.

Disclosure of Share Ownership

The Securities Act (British Columbia) currently provides that the directors and certain officers of an issuer and its subsidiaries and any person or company that beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, voting securities of an issuer or that exercises control or direction over voting securities of an issuer or a combination of both, carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all the issuer’s outstanding voting securities (a “significant shareholder”), as well as the directors and officers of any significant shareholder, (each an “insider”) must, within 10 days of becoming an insider, file a report in the required form effective the date on which the person became an insider, disclosing any direct or indirect beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, securities of the reporting issuer. The Securities Act (British Columbia) also provides for the filing of a report by an insider of a reporting

issuer who acquires or transfers securities of the issuer or who enters into, materially amends or terminates an arrangement the effect of which is to alter the insider’s economic interest in a security of the issuer or the insider’s economic exposure to the issuer. These reports must be filed within five days after the reportable event. The Securities Act (British Columbia) also requires these reports to be filed by reporting insiders within five days after the applicable event, though are only required by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, directors, any person or company responsible for a principal business unit and significant shareholders of the Company.

The Securities Act (British Columbia) also provides that a person or company that acquires (whether or not by way of a take-over bid, offer to acquire or subscription from treasury) beneficial ownership of voting or equity securities or securities convertible into voting or equity securities of a reporting issuer that, together with previously held securities brings the total holdings of such holder to 10% or more of the outstanding securities of that class, must (a) issue and file forthwith a news release containing certain prescribed information and (b) file a report within two business days containing the same information set out in the news release. The acquiring person or company must also issue a news release and file a report each time it acquires, in the aggregate, an additional 2% or more of the outstanding securities of the same class and every time there is a change to any material fact in the news release and report previously issued and filed.

The rules in the United States governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed are more stringent than those discussed above. Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), imposes reporting requirements on persons who acquire beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 5% of a class of an equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. In general, such persons must file, within ten days after such acquisition, a report of beneficial ownership with the SEC containing the information prescribed by the regulations under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and promptly file an amendment to such report to disclose any material change to the information reported, including any acquisition or disposition of 1% or more of the outstanding securities of the registered class. Certain institutional investors that acquire shares in the ordinary course of business and not with the purpose or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer are subject to lesser disclosure obligations.

C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS

Quartz Mountain’s material contracts as of November 24, 2023, are:

D. EXCHANGE CONTROLS

Quartz Mountain is incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. There is no law or governmental decree or regulation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital, or affects the remittance of dividends, interest, or other payments to a non-resident holder of common shares, other than withholding tax requirements. Any such remittances to United States residents are generally subject to withholding tax, however no such remittances are likely in the foreseeable future. See “Taxation”, below.

There is no limitation imposed by Canadian law or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote Common Shares of the Company, except that the Investment Canada Act may require review and approval by the Minister of Industry (Canada) of certain acquisitions of “control” of the Company by a “non-Canadian”. The threshold for acquisitions of “control” is generally defined as being one-third or more of the voting shares of the Company. “Non-Canadian” generally means an individual who is not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, or a corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is ultimately controlled by non-Canadians.

E. TAXATION

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Information for United States Residents

The following summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the holding and disposition of common shares of the Company by a holder (a) who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) the (“Tax Act”), is not resident in Canada or deemed to be resident in Canada, deals at arm’s length and is not affiliated with the Company, holds the common shares as capital property and does not use or hold the common shares in the course of carrying on, or otherwise in connection with, a business in Canada, and (b) who, for the purposes of the Canada- United States Income Tax Convention (the “Treaty”), is a resident of the United States, has never been a resident of Canada, has not held or used (and does not hold or use) common shares in connection with a permanent establishment or fixed base in Canada, and who qualifies for the full benefits of the Treaty. The Canada Revenue Agency has recently introduced special forms to be used in order to substantiate eligibility for Treaty benefits, and affected holders should consult with their own advisors with respect to these forms and all relevant compliance matters.

Holders who meet all such criteria in clauses (a) and (b) above are referred to herein as a “U.S. Holder” or “U.S. Holders”, and this summary only addresses such U.S. Holders. The summary does not deal with special situations, such as particular circumstances of traders or dealers, limited liability companies, tax-exempt entities, insurers, financial institutions (including those to which the mark- to-market provisions of the Tax Act apply), or entities considered fiscally transparent under applicable law, or otherwise.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder, all proposed amendments to the Tax Act and regulations publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) to the date hereof, the current provisions of the Treaty and our understanding of the current administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency. It has been assumed that all currently proposed amendments to the Tax Act and regulations will be enacted as proposed and that there will be no other relevant change in any governing law, the Treaty or administrative policy, although no assurance can be given in these respects. This summary does not take into account provincial, U.S., or other foreign income tax considerations, which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.

This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian income tax consequences. It is not intended as legal or tax advice to any particular U.S. Holder and should not be so construed. The tax consequences to a U.S. Holder will depend on that U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances. Accordingly, all U.S. Holders or prospective U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences applicable to them having regard to their own particular circumstances. The discussion below is qualified accordingly.

Dividends

Dividends paid or deemed to be paid or credited by the Company to a U.S. Holder are subject to Canadian withholding tax. Under the Treaty, the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid to a U.S. Holder is generally limited to 15% of the gross dividend (or 5% in the case of a U.S. holder that is a corporate shareholder owning at least 10% of the Company’s voting shares), provided the U.S. Holder can establish entitlement to the benefits of the Treaty.

Disposition

A U.S. Holder is generally not subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized on the disposition of a common share in the open market, unless the share is “taxable Canadian property” to the holder thereof and the U.S. Holder is not entitled to relief under the Treaty.

Provided that the Company’s common shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” for purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX Venture) at the time of disposition, a common share will generally not constitute taxable Canadian property to a U.S. Holder unless, at any time during the 60 month period ending at the time of disposition, (i) the U.S. Holder or persons with whom the U.S. Holder did not deal at arm’s length (or the U.S. Holder together with such persons) owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the Company AND (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of the share was derived directly or indirectly from certain types of assets, including real or immoveable property situated in Canada, Canadian resource properties or timber resource properties, and options, interests or rights in respect of any of the foregoing. Common shares may also be deemed taxable Canadian property under the Tax Act in certain specific circumstances. A U.S. Holder holding Common shares as taxable Canadian property should consult with the U.S. Holder’s own tax advisors in advance of any disposition of Common shares or deemed disposition under the Tax Act in order to determine whether any relief from tax under the Tax Act may be available by virtue of the Treaty, and any related compliance procedures.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The Company believes it is likely a “passive foreign investment company” which may have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. shareholders.

U.S. shareholders should be aware that the Company believes it was classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) during the tax year ended July 31, 2021, and may be a PFIC in future tax years. If the Company is a PFIC for any year during a U.S. shareholder’s holding period, then such U.S. shareholder generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of common shares, or any so-called “excess distribution” received on its common shares, as ordinary income, and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such gain or distributions, unless the shareholder makes a timely and effective “qualified electing fund” election (“QEF Election”) or a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the common shares. A U.S. shareholder who makes a QEF Election generally must report on a current basis its share of the Company’s net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which the Company is a PFIC, whether or not the Company distributes any amounts to its shareholders. However, U.S. shareholders should be aware that there can be no assurance that the Company will satisfy record keeping requirements that apply to a qualified electing fund, or that the Company will supply U.S. shareholders with information that such U.S. shareholders require to report under the QEF Election rules, in the event that the Company is a PFIC and a U.S. shareholder wishes to make a QEF Election. Thus, U.S. shareholders may not be able to make a QEF Election with respect to their common shares. A U.S. shareholder who makes the mark-to-market election generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the common shares over the taxpayer’s basis therein. This paragraph is qualified in its entirety by the discussion below under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.” Each U.S. shareholder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a U.S. Holder arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder, including specific tax consequences to a U.S. Holder under an applicable tax treaty. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares. Each prospective U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local and foreign tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the conclusions described in this summary.

Scope of this Summary

Authorities

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the“"Cod”"), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the“"Canada-U.S. Tax Conventio”"), and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this document. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis, which could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described in this summary. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis.

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, the term“"U.S. Holde”" means a beneficial owner of common shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

Non-U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, a“"non-U.S. Holde”" is a beneficial owner of common shares that is not a U.S. Holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. Holders arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares. Accordingly, a non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences (including the potential application of and operation of any income tax treaties) relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are broker-dealers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a“"functional currenc”" other than the U.S. Dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that own common shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) U.S. Holders that acquired common shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) U.S. Holders that hold common shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); or (h) U.S. Holders that own or have owned (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company. This summary also does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders who are: (a) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.; (b) persons that have been, are, or will be a resident or deemed to be a resident in Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the“"Tax Ac”"); (c) persons that use or hold, will use or hold, or that are or will be deemed to use or hold common shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada; (d) persons whose common shares constitute“"taxable Canadian propert”" under the Tax Act; or (e) persons that have a permanent establishment in Canada for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local and foreign tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

If an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership (or other“"pass-throug”" entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds common shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such entity and the partners (or other owners) of such entity generally will depend on the activities of the entity and the status of such partners (or owners). This summary does not address the tax consequences to any such owner. Partners (or other owners) of entities or arrangements that are classified as partnerships or as“"pass-throug”" entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

If the Company were to constitute a“"passive foreign investment compan”" under the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (a“"PFI”", as defined below) for any year during a U.S. Holde’'s holding period, then certain potentially adverse rules will affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder resulting from the acquisition, ownership and disposition of common shares. The Company believes that it was classified as a PFIC during the tax year ended July 31, 2020, and may be a PFIC in future tax years. The determination of whether any corporation was, or will be, a PFIC for a tax year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. In addition, whether any corporation will be a PFIC for any tax year depends on the assets and income of such corporation over the course of each such tax year and, as a result, cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this document. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge any determination made by the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) concerning its PFIC status. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the PFIC status of the Company and any subsidiary of the Company.

In addition, in any year in which the Company is classified as a PFIC, such holder would be required to file an annual report with the IRS containing such information as Treasury Regulations and/or other IRS guidance may require. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8621.

PFIC Status of the Company

The Company generally will be a PFIC if, for a tax year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Company is passive income (the“"income tes”") or (b) 50% or more of the value of the Compan’'s assets either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets (the“"asset tes”").“"Gross incom”" generally includes all sales revenues less the cost of goods sold, and income from investments and from incidental or outside operations or sources, and“"passive incom”" generally includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.

Active business gains arising from the sale of commodities generally are excluded from passive income if substantially all (85% or more) of a foreign corporatio’'s commodities are stock in trade or inventory, depreciable property used in a trade or business, or supplies regularly used or consumed in a trade or business and certain other requirements are satisfied.

For purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, if the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another corporation, the Company will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other corporation. In addition, for purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, and assuming certain other requirements are met,“"passive incom”" does not include certain interest, dividends, rents, or royalties that are received or accrued by the Company from certain“"related person”" (as defined in Section 954(d) (3) of the Code), to the extent such items are properly allocable to the income of such related person that is not passive income.

Under certain attribution rules, if the Company is a PFIC, U.S. Holders will generally be deemed to own their proportionate share of the Compan’'s direct or indirect equity interest in any company that is also a PFIC (a‘’'Subsidiary PFI’’'), and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on their proportionate share of (a) any“"excess distributions”" as described below, on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC and (b) a disposition or deemed disposition of the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC by the Company or another Subsidiary PFIC, both as if such U.S. Holders directly held the shares of such Subsidiary PFIC. In addition, U.S. Holders may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any indirect gain realized on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC on the sale or disposition of common shares. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should be aware that they could be subject to tax even if no distributions are received and no redemptions or other dispositions of common shares are made.

Default PFIC Rules under Section 1291 of the Code

If the Company is a PFIC for any tax year during which a U.S. Holder owns common shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares will depend on whether and when such U.S. Holder makes an election to treat the Company and each Subsidiary PFIC, if any, as a“"qualified electing fun”" or“"QE”" under Section 1295 of the Code (a“"QEF Electio”") or makes a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (a“"Mark-to-Market Electio”"). A U.S. Holder that does not make either a QEF Election or a Mark-to- Market Election will be referred to in this summary as a“"Non-Electing U.S. Holder”"

A Non-Electing U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code (described below) with respect to (a) any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares and (b) any excess distribution received on the common shares. A distribution generally will be an“"excess distributio”" to the extent that such distribution (together with all other distributions received in the current tax year) exceeds 125% of the average distributions received during the three preceding tax years (or during a U.S. Holde’'s holding period for the common shares, if shorter).

Under Section 1291 of the Code, any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares (including an indirect disposition of the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC), and any“"excess distributio”" received on common shares or with respect to the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC, must be ratably allocated to each day in a Non-Electing U.S. Holde’'s holding period for the respective common shares. The amount of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to the tax year of disposition or distribution of the excess distribution and to years before the entity became a PFIC, if any, would be taxed as ordinary income. The amounts allocated to any other tax year would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax rate applicable to ordinary income in each such year, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax liability for each such year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation must treat any such interest paid as“"personal interest”" which is not deductible.

If the Company is a PFIC for any tax year during which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds common shares, the Company will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such Non-Electing U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the Company ceases to be a PFIC in one or more subsequent tax years. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above), but not loss, as if such common shares were sold on the last day of the last tax year for which the Company was a PFIC.

QEF Election

A U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective QEF Election for the first tax year in which its holding period of its common shares begins generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above with respect to its common shares. A U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Holde’'s pro rata share of (a) the net capital gain of the Company, which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to such U.S. Holder, and (b) the ordinary earnings of the Company, which will be taxed as ordinary income to such U.S. Holder. Generally,“"net capital gai”" is the excess of (a) net long-term capital gain over (b) net short-term capital loss, and“"ordinary earning”" are the excess of (a)“"earnings and profit”" over (b) net capital gain. A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such amounts for each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed to such U.S. Holder by the Company. However, for any tax year in which the Company is a PFIC and has no net income or gain, U.S. Holders that have made a QEF Election would not have any income inclusions as a result of the QEF Election. If a U.S. Holder that made a QEF Election has an income inclusion, such a U.S. Holder may, subject to certain limitations, elect to defer payment of current U.S. federal income tax on such amounts, subject to an interest charge. If such U.S. Holder is not a corporation, any such interest paid will be treated as“"personal interest”" which is not deductible.

A U.S. Holder that makes a timely and49ffectiveve QEF Election with resp“ct to the Company ”enerally (a)   may receive a tax-free distribution from the Company to the extent that such distribution represents“"earnings and profit”" of the Company that were previously included in income by the U.S. Holder because of such QEF Election and (b) will adjust such U.S. Holde’'s tax basis in the common shares to reflect the amount included in income or allowed as a tax-free distribution because of such QEF Election. In addition, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares.

The procedure for making a QEF Election, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of making a QEF Election, will depend on whether such QEF Election is timely. A QEF Election will be treated as“"timel”" if such QEF Election is made for the first year in the U.S. Holde’'s holding period for the common shares in which the Company was a PFIC. A U.S. Holder may make a timely QEF Election by filing the appropriate QEF Election documents at the time such U.S. Holder files a U.S. federal income tax return for such year. If a U.S. Holder does not make a timely and effective QEF Election for the first year in the U.S. Holde’'s holding period for the common shares, the U.S. Holder may still be able to make a timely and effective QEF Election in a subsequent year if such U.S. Holder meets certain requirements and makes a“"purgin”" election to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above) as if such common shares were sold for their fair market value on the day the QEF Election is effective. If a U.S. Holder owns PFIC stock indirectly through another PFIC, separate QEF Elections must be made for the PFIC in which the U.S. Holder is a direct shareholder and the Subsidiary PFIC for the QEF rules to apply to both PFICs.

A QEF Election will apply to the tax year for which such QEF Election is timely made and to subsequent tax years, unless such QEF Election is invalidated or terminated or the IRS consents to revocation of such QEF Election. If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election and, in a subsequent tax year, the Company ceases to be a PFIC, the QEF Election will remain in effect (although it will not be applicable) during those tax years in which the Company is not a PFIC. Accordingly, if the Company becomes a PFIC in another subsequent tax year, the QEF Election will be effective and the U.S. Holder will be subject to the QEF rules described above during any subsequent tax year in which the Company qualifies as a PFIC.

U.S. Holders should be aware that there can be no assurances that the Company will satisfy the record keeping requirements that apply to a QEF, or that the Company will supply U.S. Holders with information that such U.S. Holders are required to report under the QEF rules, in the event that the Company is a PFIC. Thus, U.S. Holders may not be able to make a QEF Election with respect to their common shares. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a QEF Election.

A U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621, including a PFIC Annual Information Statement, to a timely filed United States federal income tax return. However, if the Company cannot provide the required information with regard to the Company or any of its Subsidiary PFICs, U.S. Holders will not be able to make a QEF Election for such entity and will continue to be subject to the rules discussed above that apply to Non-Electing U.S. Holders with respect to the taxation of gains and excess distributions.

Mark-to-Market Election

A U.S. Holder may make a Mark-to-Market Election only if the common shares are marketable stock. The common shares generally will be“"marketable stoc”" if the common shares are regularly traded on (a) a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (b)  the national market system established pursuant to section 11A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or (c) a foreign securities exchange that is regulated or supervised by a governmental authority of the country in which the market is located, provided that (i) such foreign exchange has trading volume, listing, financial disclosure, and surveillance requirements, and meets other requirements and the laws of the country in which such foreign exchange is located, together with the rules of such foreign exchange, ensure that such requirements are actually enforced and (ii) the rules of such foreign exchange effectively promote active trading of listed stocks. If such stock is traded on such a qualified exchange or other market, such stock generally will be“"regularly trade”" for any calendar year during which such stock is traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter.

A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to its common shares generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above with respect to such common shares. However, if a U.S. Holder does not make a Mark-to-Market Election beginning in the first tax year of such U.S. Holde’'s holding period for the common shares or such U.S. Holder has not made a timely QEF Election, the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above will apply to certain dispositions of, and distributions on, the common shares.

A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will include in ordinary income, for each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value of the common shares, as of the close of such tax year over (b) such U.S. Holde’'s tax basis in such common shares. A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will be allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) such U.S. Holde’'s adjusted tax basis in the common shares, over (b) the fair market value of such common shares (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years).

A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election generally also will adjust such U.S. Holde’'s tax basis in the common shares to reflect the amount included in gross income or allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election. In addition, upon a sale or other taxable disposition of common shares, a U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will recognize ordinary income or ordinary loss (not to exceed the excess, if any, of (a) the amount included in ordinary income because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years over (b) the amount allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years). Losses that exceed this limitation are subject to the rules generally applicable to losses provided in the Code and Treasury Regulations.

A Mark-to-Market Election applies to the tax year in which such Mark-to-Market Election is made and to each subsequent tax year, unless the common shares cease to be“"marketable stoc”" or the IRS consents to revocation of such election. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a Mark-to-Market Election.

Although a U.S. Holder may be eligible to make a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to the common shares, no such election may be made with respect to the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC that a U.S. Holder is treated as owning, because such stock is not marketable. Hence, the Mark-to-Market Election will not be effective to eliminate the application of the default rules of Section 1291 of the Code described above with respect to deemed dispositions of Subsidiary PFIC stock or excess distributions from a Subsidiary PFIC.

Other PFIC Rules

Under Section 1291(f) of the Code, the IRS has issued proposed Treasury Regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would cause a U.S. Holder that had not made a timely QEF Election to recognize gain (but not loss) upon certain transfers of common shares that would otherwise be tax-deferred (e.g., gifts and exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations). However, the specific U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder may vary based on the manner in which common shares are transferred.

Certain additional adverse rules may apply with respect to a U.S. Holder if the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election. For example, under Section 1298(b)(6) of the Code, a U.S. Holder that uses common shares as security for a loan will, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such common shares.

Special rules also apply to the amount of foreign tax credit that a U.S. Holder may claim on a distribution from a PFIC. Subject to such special rules, foreign taxes paid with respect to any distribution in respect of stock in a PFIC are generally eligible for the foreign tax credit. The rules relating to distributions by a PFIC and their eligibility for the foreign tax credit are complicated, and a U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit with respect to distributions by a PFIC.

The PFIc rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules and how the PFIC rules may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

Ownership and Disposition of Common Shares

The following discussion is subject to the rules described above under the heading“"Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”"

Distributions on Common Shares

A U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to a common share will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated“"earnings and profit”" of the Company, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A dividend generally will be taxed to a U.S. Holder at ordinary income tax rates if the Company is a PFIC. To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated“"earnings and profit”" of the Company, such distribution will be treated first as a tax- free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holde’'s tax basis in the common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such common shares. (See“"Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of common share”" below). However, the Company may not maintain the calculations of earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder should therefore assume that any distribution by the Company with respect to the common shares will constitute ordinary dividend income. Dividends received on common shares generally will not be eligible for the "dividen”s received deduction". In addition, the Company does not anticipate that its distributions will constitute qualified dividend income eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains. The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares

Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. Dollar value of cash received plus the fair market value of any property received and such U.S. Holde’'s tax basis in such common shares sold or otherwise disposed of. A U.S. Holde’'s tax basis in common shares generally will be such holde’'s U.S. Dollar cost for such common shares. Gain or loss recognized on such sale or other disposition generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, the common shares have been held for more than one year.

Preferential tax rates currently apply to long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.

Additional Tax on Passive Income

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2012, certain individuals, estates and trusts whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surtax on“"net investment incom”" including, among other things, dividends and net gain from dispositions of property (other than property held in a trade or business). U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their ownership and disposition of common shares.

Receipt of Foreign Currency

The amount of any distribution paid to a U.S. Holder in foreign currency, or on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of common shares, generally will be equal to the U.S. Dollar value of such foreign currency based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt (regardless of whether such foreign currency is converted into U.S. Dollars at that time). A U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. Dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who converts or otherwise disposes of the foreign currency after the date of receipt may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.

Foreign Tax Credit

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid on the common shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holde’'s U.S. federal income tax liability on a Dollar-for-Dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holde’'s income subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.

Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holde’'s U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holde’'s“"foreign sourc”" taxable income bears to such U.S. Holde’'s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holde’'s various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either“"foreign sourc”" or“"U.S. source”" Generally, dividends paid by a foreign corporation should be treated as foreign source for this purpose, and gains recognized on the sale of stock of a foreign corporation by a U.S. Holder should be treated as U.S. source for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty, and if an election is properly made under the Code. However, the amount “f a distributi”n wi“h respect to”the common shares that is treated as a“"dividen”" may be lower for U.S. federal income tax purposes than it is for Canadian federal income tax purposes, resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit allowance to a U.S. Holder. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income. The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Under U.S. federal income tax law and Treasury Regulations, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a foreign corporation. For example, recently enacted legislation generally imposes new U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) on individuals who are U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of $50,000. The definition of specified foreign financial assets includes not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also, unless held in accounts maintained by a financial institution, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract held for investment that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a foreign entity. U.S. Holders may be subject to these reporting requirements unless their common shares are held in an account at a domestic financial institution. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8938.

Payments made within the U.S. or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, and proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of, common shares will generally be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, at the rate of 28% (and increasing to 31% for payments made after December 31, 2012), if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holde’'s correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax. However, certain exempt persons generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holde’'s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules.

ITEM 11 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

A. TRANSACTION RISK AND CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented treasury policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures.

B. EXCHANGE RATE SENSITIVITY

The Company incurs substantially all of its expenditures in Canada and substantially all of its cash is denominated in Canadian dollars. Consequently, the Company is not subject to material foreign exchange risk.

C. INTEREST RATE RISK AND EQUITY PRICE RISK

The Company is subject to interest rate risk with respect to its investments in cash. The Compan’'s policy is to invest cash at fixed rates of interest and cash reserves are to be maintained in cash and cash equivalents in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. Fluctuations in interest rates when the cash and cash equivalents mature impact interest income earned.

D. COMMODITY PRICE RISK

While the value of the Compan’'s resource properties, if any, can always be said to relate to the price of precious metals and the outlook for same, the Company does not have any resource properties or operating mines and hence does not have any hedging or other commodity based operational risks respecting to its business activities.

ITEM 15 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

At the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F, an evaluation was carried out with the participation of the Compan’'s management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer “"CE”") and the Chief Financial Officer “"CF”"), of the effectiveness of the Compan’'s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d –15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the“"Exchange Ac”")). Based on that evaluation, the President and CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F, the Compan’'s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in the Compan’'s reports filed under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to the Compan’'s management, including the President and CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

B. MANAGEMEN’'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Compan’'s management, including the President and CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Compan’'s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The Compan’'s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

With the participation of the President and CEO and CFO, management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of the Compan’'s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2023, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded in its report that the Compan’'s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of July 31, 2023.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Compan’'s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managemen’'s report was not subject to attestation by the Compan’'s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules that permit the Company to provide only managemen’'s report in this annual report.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F, no changes occurred in the Compan’'s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Compan’'s internal control over financial reporting.

LIMITATIONS OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Compan’'s management, including its President and CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

ITEM 16C PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The following table discloses the aggregate fees billed for each of the last fiscal year for professional services rendered by the Company's former audit firm, Davidson & Company LLP for various services and estimate audit fee for the newly appointed audit firm, DeVisser Gray LLP.

Notes:

From time to time, management of the Company recommends to and requests approval from the Audit Committee for non-audit services to be provided by the Company's auditors. The Audit Committee routinely considers such requests at committee meetings, and if acceptable to a majority of the Audit Committee members, pre-approves such non-audit services by a resolution authorizing management to engage the Company's auditors for such non-audit services, with set maximum dollar amounts for each itemized service. During such deliberations, the Audit Committee assesses, among other factors, whether the services requested would be considered "prohibited services" as contemplated by the SEC, and whether the services requested and the fees related to such services could impair the independence of the auditors. No material non-audit services were provided by the Company's auditors during the year ended July 31, 2023.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2023, 2022 AND 2021

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at July 31, 2023 and 2022 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended July 31, 2023, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2023 and 2022 and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended July 31, 2023, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Going Concern

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements which indicates that there are material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the going concern assumption. The Company has no current source of revenue, has incurred losses from inception and is dependent upon its ability to secure new sources of financing. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

This issue also constitutes, from our perspective, a critical audit matter that was communicated to the audit committee and that: (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements; and (ii) involved, on our part, especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating this critical audit matter, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

The principal considerations for our determination that the going concern uncertainty was a critical audit matter were: (i) that the formal reporting of such uncertainty involves a significant disclosure, the absence of which could constitute a material misstatement to a financial statement reader and, (ii) that, at the same time, it involves on our part the use of a high level of subjective judgement as we are required to consider the possible impact of future events that cannot currently be known and which in all likelihood will not be directly linked to any particular current or future financial results and reporting, or the lack thereof.

Addressing this matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures also included, among others, (i) obtaining and evaluating management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to remain a going concern; (ii) determining based on all other evidence available to us whether management’s assessment appeared to be fair and reasonable in the circumstances and, (iii) considering whether the resultant disclosure of these matters herein was consistent with the foregoing, in the context of the Company’s overall business activities, objectives and financial history.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

A critical audit matter was communicated above under ‘Going Concern’.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.
