Scientific and Technical Information

Scientific and technical information relating to the Beskauga Property contained in this Prospectus is derived from, and in some instances is a direct extract from, and based on the assumptions, qualifications and procedures set out in the Beskauga Technical Report prepared by David Underwood, B.Sc. (Hons) and Matthew Dumala, B.Sc., each a “qualified person” for the purposes of NI 43-101, filed on May 31, 2022.

Each of David Underwood, B.Sc. (Hons) and Matthew Dumala, B.Sc. reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information relating to the Beskauga Property contained in this Prospectus and is a “qualified person” and “independent” of the Company within the meanings of NI 43-101.

Reference should be made to the full text of the Beskauga Technical Report which is available for review under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Mineral Exploration and Inferred Mineral Resources

The Company is a mineral exploration company and its material property is in the mineral exploration stage only. The degree of risk increases substantially where an issuer’s properties are in the mineral exploration stage as opposed to the development or operational stage. An investment in the Common Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should only be made by persons who can afford the total loss of their investment. Prospective investors should consider the risk factors in connection with an investment in the Company as set out under the heading “RiskFactors”.

ix

A portion of the Company’s estimated Mineral Resources are Inferred Mineral Resources. Confidence in an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate is insufficient to allow meaningful application of the technical and economic parameters to enable an evaluation of economic viability sufficient for public disclosure, except in certain limited circumstances set out in NI 43-101. There is no assurance that Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves. Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves.

CIM Definition Standards


The Mineral Resources for the Beskauga Project (including as used in the Beskauga Technical Report) have been estimated in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards, which are incorporated by reference in NI 43-101. The following definitions are reproduced from the CIM Definition Standards:

Feasibility Study” means a comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of applicable Modifying Factors together with any other relevant operational factors and detailed financial analysis that are necessary to demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of the study may reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project. The confidence level of the study will be higher than that of a Pre-Feasibility Study.

Indicated Mineral Resource” means that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of Modifying Factors as described below in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to assume geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. An Indicated Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to a Measured Mineral Resource and may only be converted to a Probable Mineral Reserve.

Inferred Mineral Resource” means that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.

Measured Mineral Resource” means that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of Modifying Factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. A Measured Mineral Resource has a higher level of confidence than that applying to either an Indicated Mineral Resource or an Inferred Mineral Resource. It may be converted to a Proven Mineral Reserve or to a Probable Mineral Reserve.

Mineral Reserve” means the economically mineable part of a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at pre-feasibility or feasibility level as appropriate that include application of Modifying Factors. Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified. The reference point at which Mineral Reserves are defined, usually the point where the ore is delivered to the processing plant, must be stated. It is important that, in all situations where the reference point is different, such as for a saleable product, a clarifying statement is included to ensure that the reader is fully informed as to what is being reported. The public disclosure of a Mineral Reserve must be demonstrated by a Pre-Feasibility Study or Feasibility Study.

Mineral Resource” means a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling.

x

Pre-Feasibility Study” means a comprehensive study of a range of options for the technical and economic viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where a preferred mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration, in the case of an open pit, is established and an effective method of mineral processing is determined. It includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions on the Modifying Factors and the evaluation of any other relevant factors which are sufficient for a qualified person, acting reasonably, to determine if all or part of the Mineral Resource may be converted to a Mineral Reserve at the time of reporting. A Pre-Feasibility Study is at a lower confidence level than a Feasibility Study.

Probable Mineral Reserve” means the economically mineable part of an Indicated, and in some circumstances, a Measured Mineral Resource. The confidence in the Modifying Factors applying to a Probable Mineral Reserve is lower than that applying to a Proven Mineral Reserve.

Proven Mineral Reserve” means the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource. A Proven Mineral Reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the Modifying Factors. For the purposes of the CIM Definition Standards, “Modifying Factors” are considerations used to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves. These include, but are not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors.****

History of the Company Since Incorporation

The Company was incorporated under the BCBCA on February 5, 2021 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Silver Bull. A brief description of the Company’s history since its incorporation is as follows:

The Spin Out

On March 19, 2021, Silver Bull transferred its Kazak assets to the Company pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) in exchange for the issuance of 36,000,000 Common Shares to Silver Bull (the “Asset Transfer”). Silver Bull had incurred an aggregate of US$1.368 million in costs relating to its Kazak assets prior to the date of the Asset Transfer. The transferred assets included the Beskauga Option Agreement, a joint venture agreement with respect to the Stepnoe and Ekidos properties (the “JV Agreement”) and loans payable by Ekidos LLP to Silver Bull. On May 25, 2021, Silver Bull announced plans to spin out substantially all of its shares of Arras to the Silver Bull shareholders. On September 24, 2021, Silver Bull distributed approximately 34.5 million Common Shares issued to Silver Bull in respect of the Asset Transfer to its shareholders by way of a special dividend, on the basis of one Common Share for each common share in the capital of Silver Bull held by such shareholders (the “Distribution” and, together with the Asset Transfer, the “Spin Out”).

Beskauga Option Agreement

Pursuant to the APA, Silver Bull transferred its interest in the Beskauga Option Agreement among Silver Bull, Copperbelt and Dostyk to Arras.

Silver Bull entered into the Beskauga Option Agreement on August 12, 2020. Upon the execution of the Beskauga Option Agreement, Silver Bull paid Copperbelt US$30,000. In addition, Silver Bull paid Copperbelt US$40,000 upon completion of its due diligence on the Beskauga Project (defined below) on January 26, 2021 (the “Option Closing Date”).

Pursuant to the Beskauga Option Agreement, Arras has the exclusive right and option (the “Beskauga Option”) to acquire CB’s right, title and 100% interest in the Beskauga Property.

The Beskauga Option Agreement provides that subject to its terms and conditions, in order to maintain the effectiveness of the Beskauga Option, the Company must incur US$2,000,000 in cumulative exploration expenditures on the Beskauga Project by January 26, 2022 (the first anniversary of the Option Closing Date), US$5,000,000 in cumulative exploration expenditures on the Beskauga Project by January 26, 2023 (the second anniversary of the Option Closing Date), US$10,000,000 in cumulative exploration expenditures on the Beskauga Project by January 26, 2024 (the third anniversary of the Option Closing Date), and US$15,000,000 in cumulative exploration expenditures on the Beskauga Project by January 26, 2025 (the fourth anniversary of the Option Closing Date) (collectively, the “Exploration Expenditures”).

As of October 31, 2021, approximately US$2.1 million of the required Exploration Expenditures had been incurred under the Beskauga Option Agreement, with an additional US$1.5 million being incurred to January 31, 2022, for a total of US$3.6 million being incurred, leaving approximately $1.4 million to be incurred by January 26, 2023 (the second anniversary of the Option Closing Date). Of the US$3.6 million incurred to January 31, 2022, US$2.965 million in Exploration Expenditures were funded via loans made to Ekidos LLP, which were then in turn invested into Dostyk, the holder of the Beskauga exploration license. An additional US$625,000 of costs were incurred by Ekidos LLP relating to the Ekidos and Stepnoe licenses. As per the terms of the Beskauga Option Agreement, the costs incurred in relation to the Ekidos and Stepnoe licenses can be applied to the required expenditures under the Beskauga Option Agreement. The Company expects to finance additional Exploration Expenditures through proceeds from issuances of equity securities of the Company. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Company—We mayhave difficulty meeting our current and future capital requirements.” Pursuant to the terms of the JV Agreement (as defined below) and in connection with the Asset Transfer, 100% of the equity interest in Ekidos LLP was transferred to the Company on February 3, 2022 for US$1,000, which represented the cost of establishing Ekidos LLP. At the time of transfer, Ekidos LLP’s assets were limited to the JV Licenses (as defined below) it had applied for on behalf of Arras and liabilities in the amount of $5.315 million in the form of the Loans (as defined below).

The Beskauga Option Agreement provides that, subject to its terms and conditions, after the Company or its affiliate has incurred the Exploration Expenditures, the Company or its affiliate may exercise the Beskauga Option and acquire (i) the Beskauga Project by paying CB US$15,000,000 in cash, (ii) only the Beskauga Main Project by paying CB US$13,500,000 in cash, or (iii) only the Beskauga South Project by paying CB US$1,500,000 in cash.

In addition, the Beskauga Option Agreement provides that subject to its terms and conditions, the Company or its affiliate may be obligated to make the following bonus payments (collectively, the “Bonus Payments”) to Copperbelt if the Beskauga Main Project or the Beskauga South Project is the subject of a bankable Feasibility Study prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 indicating gold equivalent resources in the amounts set forth below, with (i) (A) 20% of the Bonus Payments payable after completion of the bankable Feasibility Study or after the mineral resource statement is finally determined and (B) the remaining 80% of the Bonus Payments due within 15 business days of commencement of on-site construction of a mine for the Beskauga Main Project or the Beskauga South Project, as applicable, and (ii) up to 50% of the Bonus Payments payable in shares of Silver Bull common stock to be valued at the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price of the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange calculated as of the date immediately preceding the date such shares are issued:

All values are in US Dollars.

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement (as defined below), Arras may seek the consent of the parties to the Beskauga Option Agreement to make amendments thereto such that the Bonus Payments that Arras or its affiliate may be obligated to pay Copperbelt could be satisfied at the option of Arras, in Common Shares. If Arras cannot obtain such consents, Silver Bull will agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an arrangement with Arras providing for (i) the issuance of Silver Bull common stock to Copperbelt upon certain events occurring and (ii) a payment by Arras to Silver Bull in consideration for the issuance by Silver Bull of Silver Bull common stock to Copperbelt.

The Beskauga Option Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances, including (i) upon the mutual written agreement of the Company and CB; (ii) upon the delivery of written notice by the Company, provided that at the time of delivery of such notice, unless there has been a material breach of a representation or warranty given by CB that has not been cured, the Beskauga Property is in good standing; or (iii) if there is a material breach by a party of its obligations under the Beskauga Option Agreement and the other party has provided written notice of such material breach, which is incapable of being cured or remains uncured.

Stepnoe and Ekidos JV Agreement

Additionally, in connection with the Spin Out and pursuant to the APA, Silver Bull transferred its interest in the JV Agreement with Copperbelt to Arras.

On September 1, 2020, Silver Bull entered into the JV Agreement in connection with, among other things, mineral license applications (the “JV Licenses”) for, and further exploration and evaluation of certain properties including, the Stepnoe and Ekidos properties located in Kazakhstan. The exploration licences for the Stepnoe and Ekidos properties were granted on October 22, 2020.

Pursuant to the JV Agreement, Ekidos LLP was incorporated on behalf of Copperbelt for the purpose of applying for the JV Licenses with the funding previously provided by Silver Bull. Pursuant to the terms of the JV Agreement and in connection with the Asset Transfer, 100% of the equity interests in Ekidos LLP were transferred to the Company on February 3, 2022 for US$1,000.

The Company (through Ekidos LLP) and Copperbelt have initial participating interests in the joint venture of 80% and 20%, respectively. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, once the Company spends a minimum of US$3,000,000 on either the Stepnoe or Ekidos property, the Company has the option to acquire Copperbelt’s participating interest in such property for US$1,500,000.

Expected Changes in the Company’sBusiness During Financial Year 2022

The Company’s business plan is to continue with the exploration and development of the Beskauga Project. The Company intends to use the Beskauga Technical Report as the basis for exploration at the Beskauga Project, and such exploration remains the sole business objective of the Company. See “Beskauga Project”.

Exploration activities necessarily involve field operations and other activities which require compliance with applicable health and safety guidelines associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including physical distancing and enhanced hygiene protocols, as well as travel into the jurisdiction of operations, which may be restricted by regulatory mandate, Company policy, or otherwise. At this time, the Company does not anticipate an impact on its exploration activities, or the estimated cost and completion date; however, the COVID-19 pandemic results in reduced predictability of the landscape in which all similar exploration companies would be operating, and the situation is continually evolving. Please see “Risk Factors” for additional details with respect to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Business of the Company

Arras is dependent on the Beskauga Option Agreement in order to acquire CB’s right, title and 100% interest in the Beskauga Property. For a detailed discussion of Arras’ obligations under the Beskauga Option Agreement, see “General Development and Business of the Company - History of the Company Since Incorporation- The Spin-Out - Beskauga Option Agreement”.

Principal Operations

The Company is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, evaluation and development of resource properties with a focus on resource properties located in Kazakhstan.

Competitive Conditions

The mineral exploration and mining industry is competitive in all phases of exploration, development and production. The Company competes with a number of other entities and individuals in the search for and the acquisition of attractive mineral properties. As a result of this competition, the Company may not be able to acquire attractive properties in the future on terms it considers acceptable. The Company may also encounter competition from other mining companies in efforts to hire experienced mining professionals. Increased competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to attract necessary funding or acquire suitable properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future. See “Risk Factors– Risks Relating to the Mineral Exploration Industry”.

Specialized Skill and Knowledge

The nature of the Company’s business requires specialized skills, knowledge and technical expertise in the areas of geology, drilling, permitting, metallurgy, engineering, logistical planning and implementation of exploration programs as well as legal compliance, finance and accounting.

In early 2014, an armed conflict developed in Ukraine with Russia, which transitioned to a long stalemate, with regular skirmishes occurring along the Russian- and Ukrainian-controlled border regions. On February 24, 2022, Russia began a full-scale military invasion into Ukraine, a conflict which is escalating as of the current date.  Kazakhstan, the country in which the Company’s material property sits, shares a border with Russia, but not Ukraine.  Currently, the Company’s ability to operate and conduct exploration activities, has not been impacted due to the conflict.  However, Russia and Russian companies are important trading partners with Kazakhstan, and any related international sanctions imposed on Russia could result in a an economic impact to the Kazakh economy or disruption to the supply chain into Kazakhstan, including access to fuel and electricity.  See “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Foreign Operations”.

Environmental Protection

The Company is currently engaged in exploration activities on the Beskauga Property and such activities are subject to various laws, rules and regulations governing the protection of the environment. Corporate obligations to protect the environment under the various regulatory regimes in which the Company operates may affect the financial position, operational performance and earnings of the Company. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. Management believes all of the Company’s activities are materially in compliance with all applicable environmental legislation. See “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Mineral Exploration Industry - We are subject to complex environmentaland other regulatory risks”.

Social and Environmental Policies

The Company is committed to conducting its operations in accordance with sound social and environmental practices. At present, the scale of operations has not required the adoption of formal policies. The Company will re-evaluate this position if and when necessary.

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous materials and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties. The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation.

REGULATORY OVERVIEW

Kazakhstan Mining Law

Kazakhstan has recently updated its mining code and since 2018 all new licences are issued under this code. The new mining code, the Code on Subsoil and Subsoil Use (the “SSUCode”) was adopted on June 29, 2018 and is based on the Western Australian model. Under the SSU Code, Kazakhstan transferred from a contractual regime to a licensing regime for solid minerals (except for uranium, which remains under a contractual regime). The purpose has been to boost investment in exploration and mining in Kazakhstan and remove administrative burdens for subsoil users. The mining industry in Kazakhstan accounts for about 14% of gross domestic product and more than 20% of exports and is seen as a key industry.

Under the Kazakhstan Constitution, the subsoil is owned by the state. In regulating the mining sector, the state is represented by the competent authority, the Ministry of Industry and Infrastructural Development (“MIID”), which is authorised to grant and terminate subsoil use rights (“SURs”) and control compliance obligations related to SURs. Under the SSU Code, SURs are granted under subsoil use licenses, either for exploration or mining. Under the previous regime, SURs were granted under contracts for the right of exploration, mining, or combined exploration and mining.

| 23 |

| --- |

Exploration licences are granted for up to six years with the possibility of an extension for five more years and provide an exclusive right to use the subsoil for the purpose of exploration and for assessment of resources and reserves for subsequent mining. If a deposit is discovered, the exploration license holder has an exclusive right to obtain a mining licence if the discovery is confirmed by a report on estimation of resources and reserves of solid minerals. The SSU Code entitles subsoil users to estimate resources and reserves under the KAZRC standard, which is aligned with the CRIRSCO, JORC and CIM reporting codes.

Under the older contractual permitting system which governed subsoil use operations before the SSU Code came into effect, a company had to agree in a subsoil use contract and license to meet certain milestones and expenditure. Despite a new mining code being in place, obligations under existing subsoil use contracts are still enforced. Should a company fail to meet its obligations as stated in the contract, or the company needs to extend or change the terms, the company can approach the government and request amendments to its contract.

The SSU Code is the principal law regulating the mining sector, with detail provided by a number of government decrees and ministerial orders. Mining of precious metals is also affected by the Law on Precious Metals and Precious Stones under which the Kazakhstan National Bank can exercise a priority right to buy fine gold at international prices.

Environmental Law

The new Environmental Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (the “Environmental Code”) came into force on July 1, 2021. The Environmental Code provides for the following mechanisms for economic regulation of environmental protection:

· fees for impact on the environment, the rates of which are established by tax legislation;
· market-based mechanisms for managing emissions into the environment, which include setting limits on emissions<br>into the environment, allocating quotas for emissions into the environment, trading in quotas and commitments to reduce emissions into<br>the environment;
--- ---
· environmental insurance, the purpose of which is to ensure the civil liability of a person to compensate<br>for environmental damage caused by an accident; and
--- ---
· economic stimulation of activities aimed at environmental protection (establishment of incentives for<br>renewable energy sources, promotion of “green” technologies, etc.).
--- ---

The most important features of the Environmental Code that affect exploration and mining of solid minerals are as follows.

The Environmental Code provides that impacts of the planned activity must be evaluated either in a mandatory environmental impact assessment or mandatory screening of the impacts of the planned activity. The screening is a process of identifying potential significant environmental impacts, to determine whether an environmental impact assessment (“EIA”) is necessary or not.

An EIA is mandatory for open-pit mining of solid minerals on an area of more than 25 hectares and primary processing (concentrating) of extracted solid minerals. A screening is mandatory for (i) exploration for solid minerals, which is associated with the extraction of rock mass and soil movement for the purpose of assessing solid mineral resources, (ii) open pit mining on an area of less than 25 hectares, and (iii) underground mining. In certain cases, the authorized body can decide based on the screening results that the full EIA is necessary for the planned activity.

For those projects that must undergo an EIA, the next step after the EIA is preparation of the potential impact report (“Potential Impact Report”), which based on the results of the EIA. The Potential Impact Report:

· must be considered by the public at a public hearing, with the participation of representatives of state<br>bodies and the public; and
· is subject to expert examination at the authorized body special commission for expert examination.
--- ---
| 24 |

| --- |

Based on the results of the expert examination, the authorized body issues an opinion on the draft Potential Impact Report (valid for three years).

The conclusions and conditions contained in the Potential Impact Report must be taken into account by state bodies when issuing environmental permits, accepting notifications and during the course of administrative procedures related to the implementation of the planned activities.

The Environmental Code provides for the following types of environmental permits:

· integrated environmental permits; and
· environmental impact permits.
--- ---

An integrated environmental permit is required for facilities of Category I (these include facilities related to the production and processing of solid minerals) with the exception of those facilities of Category I, which were commissioned before July 1, 2021, or facilities a positive conclusion for construction of which was obtained by July 1, 2021. The requirement for the mandatory obtaining an integrated environmental permit comes into force on January 1, 2025. The integrated environmental permit is valid indefinitely.

An environmental impact permit is required for the construction and/or operation of facilities of Category II (these include facilities used in the exploration of solid minerals with the extraction of rock mass and movement of soil for the purpose of assessing the resources of solid minerals), as well as for the operation of facilities of Category I indicated above.

Environmental impact permits are issued for a period not exceeding ten years.

An environmental impact permit is available for subsoil operators in Kazakhstan, setting out limits for emissions of pollutants according to a set of emission limit values (“ELVs”). The Environmental Code refers to the permit which allows operators to legally emit pollutants into the environment within certain limits. The complex mechanisms of calculating ELVs involve a large number of different pollutants, creating challenges for operators seeking to comply with ELVs even through they apply the best available techniques for managing emissions. The ELVs also form a basis of environmental fees paid by the operator, provided under the Tax Code.

Another important matter is regulation of waste management. There is a hierarchy of measures to be applied in the management of mining waste:

· prevention of waste generation;
· preparation of waste for re-use;
--- ---
· waste processing;
--- ---
· waste recycling; and
--- ---
· waste disposal.
--- ---

Thus, depending on which technological solutions are applied by Arras during exploration and further mining of solid minerals, it will be necessary to comply with the following environmental requirements:

· conducting the screening and/or environmental impact assessment of the planned production activity (including<br>passing environmental impact assessment); and
· obtaining environmental permit(s).
--- ---
| 25 |

| --- |

Water Use Law

The use of surface and underground water resources with or without withdrawal for drinking, household and project needs, as well as the discharge of industrial, domestic, drainage and other wastewater (“special water use”) is carried out on the basis of special water use permits.

One of the types of special water use is its use in injection wells to maintain the reservoir pressure of underground leaching during the production of solid minerals. Special water use also includes the discharge of groundwater (mine, quarry, mine), incidentally taken during the exploration and/or production of solid minerals into surface water bodies, subsoil, water facilities or terrain.

A permit for special water use is not required for:

· the use of the following water intake structures: mine and tubular filter wells and capturing structures<br>operating without forced lowering of the level with the withdrawal of water in all cases no more than 50 cubic meters per day from the<br>first aquifer from the surface not used for centralized water supply; or
· intake (pumping out) of underground waters (pit, quarry, mine), incidentally taken during the exploration<br>and/or production of solid minerals.
--- ---

Payment for special water use is determined by tax legislation.

During exploration and mining operations, Arras may be required to obtain a special water use permit depending on what use of water resources is planned.

Land Use Regulations During the ExplorationStage

All issues related to obtaining land for exploration and production of solid minerals are governed by the Land Code dated June 20, 2003.

Mineral exploration operations can be carried out on state-owned land that is not provided for land use, on the basis of a public easement. Also, subsoil users have a right to carry out the exploration of mineral operations on land plots in private ownership or land use, on the basis of a private or public easement, without the seizure of land plots from private owners or land users.

A subsoil user conducting exploration operations is entitled to demand that an owner or land user grant it the right to limited use of these areas (i.e., a private servitude).

A public easement is formalized by decisions of local executive bodies on the basis of a relevant subsoil use license or subsoil use contract.

A private easement is established by an agreement on the establishment of a private easement concluded between the subsoil user and the owner or land user. If no agreement is reached on the terms of such an agreement, the terms of the private easement must be determined by the court.

A licence for the extraction of solid minerals serves as a basis for the local government body to grant the subsoil user the right to temporary paid land use (i.e., a lease) to a land plot used in subsoil use operations (for the period during which a company uses the land plot).

Tax Law

In 2017, Kazakhstan announced substantial changes to its Tax Code (the “Tax Code”) effective as of January 2018, with a mix of generally applicable changes and measures targeted at mining. The new Tax Code includes specific mineral taxation provisions and lists special taxes imposed on subsoil use in addition to such general taxes as the corporate income tax and value added tax, as well as import- and export-related taxes. Notably, several taxes and payments applicable to the mining sector have been removed from the new Tax Code, including the excess profit tax, historical cost payments, and the requirement to pay a commercial discovery bonus.

Stepnoe, Ekidos, Akkuduk, Nogurbek, Maisorand Elemes Exploration Licences

Ekidos LLP holds six exploration licences: the Ekidos (No. 875-EL) and Stepnoe (No. 876-EL) licences, which were granted on October 22, 2020 to Ekidos LLP; the Akkuduk (No. 1178-EL) licence, which was granted on February 2, 2021; Nogurbek (No. 1413-EL) licence, which was granted on August 2, 2021; Maisor (No. 1471-EL) licence, which was granted on October 22, 2021 and Elemes (No. 1555-EL) licence, which was granted on January 14, 2022. All six licences were applied for under the SSU Code. Under the new code, the licences are granted for “All Minerals” (except uranium) for an initial six-year period. The licences can be extended once for an additional five years.

An annual exploration commitment for each licence is calculated based on the number of 2.5 km2 “blocks” contained within the licence. The exploration commitment for each block is calculated based on a “minimum wage index” (“MRP”) by the Kazakh State which is then multiplied by the index established by the SSU Code. The rates will vary slightly from year to year due to changing MRP indices, but the annual expenditure commitment for 2022 for the exploration licenses is calculated via a formula outlined in the SSU Code to be approximately US$15,600 for each licence. It is not expected that this annual exploration commitment cost will materially vary over the first three years.

In addition to the annual exploration commitment costs, there is an annual “land lease” fee, which is calculated using the formula “15MRP x No. of blocks”. It is estimated this fee will equate to approximately US$21,000 each per year for each of the exploration licenses.

The annual expenditure commitment in a given year can be covered by expenditure accrued over the years where the exploration expenditure exceeds the calculated commitment amount. The annual expenditure commitment can be reduced by ceding ground.

Maikain JV Agreement

On May 20, 2021, Ekidos LLP entered into the Maikain JV Agreement with Orogen LLP in connection with, among other things, mineral license applications for, and further exploration and evaluation of, certain properties in an area of interest, including the Akkuduk, Nogurbek, Maisor, and Elemes properties located in Kazakhstan.

The map below shows the location of the Akkuduk, Nogurbek, Maisor, and Elemes properties, including in relation to the Beskauga Property and the Stepnoe and Ekidos properties:

The exploration license for the Akkuduk property was granted on February 2, 2021. The exploration license for the Nogurbek property was granted on August 20, 2021. The exploration licence for the Maisor property was granted on October 22, 2021. The exploration license for the Elemes property was granted on January 14, 2022.

The Company (through Ekidos LLP) and Orogen LLP have initial participating interests in the Maikain joint venture of 80% and 20%, respectively. Pursuant to Maikain JV Agreement, once the Company spends a minimum of $3,000,000 on a property in the area of interest, the Company has the option to acquire Orogen LLP’s participating interest in such property for $1,500,000.

The Maikain JV Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the earlier of (i) there being one participant in the joint venture, (ii) by written agreement between the parties, or (iii) May 20, 2024.

The map to the right shows the location of the properties in relation to the Beskauga Project.

The exploration licences sit in the same Ordovician aged belt of rocks as the Beskauga deposit and are considered highly prospective for porphyry and volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. Historical Soviet reports from between 1965 and 1970 describe a program of mapping and sampling in the area.

BESKAUGA PROJECT

Unless stated otherwise, the following disclosure relating to the Beskauga Project is based on information derived from the NI 43-101 technical report entitled “Beskauga Copper-GoldProject, Pavlodar Province, Republic of Kazakhstan, Amended & Restated NI 43-101 Technical Report” with an effective date of February 20, 2022 (the “Beskauga Technical Report”). Reference should be made to the full text of the Beskauga Technical Report, which is available electronically on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com under our SEDAR profile, as the Beskauga Technical Report contains additional assumptions, qualifications, references, reliances and procedures which are not fully described herein. The Beskauga Technical Report is the only current NI 43-101 compliant technical report with respect to the Beskauga Property and supersedes all previous technical reports.

The Qualified Persons responsible for the Beskauga Technical Report are David Underwood, B.Sc. (Hons) VP Exploration, Osino Resources and Matthew Dumala, B.Sc., Senior Engineer/Partner, Archer, Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited.

Project Description, Location and Access

The Beskauga Project is located in the Pavlodar region of north-eastern Kazakhstan, approximately 300 km northeast from the Kazakhstan capital, Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana), approximately 70 km southwest of the city of Pavlodar (population of approximately 330,000), and approximately 65 km east of the town of Ekibastuz (population of approximately 125,000). Access to the project area is via sealed highway from Ekibastuz or from Pavlodar. Ekibastuz is about four hours’ drive from Nur-Sultan. Pavlodar is also serviced by an international airport. Access around the project area is by gravel tracks of moderate to good quality which may be temporarily closed because of severe winter weather.

The property comprises three contiguous licences, the Beskauga mineral licence (67.8 square kilometers), in the centre of the property, which has been the subject of all work carried out thus far, and the Stepnoe (425 square kilometers) and Ekidos (425 square kilometers) mineral exploration licences. The centre of the property lies at approximately 51°47’N, 76°17’E.

| 29 |

| --- |

The Beskauga licence was issued under the older contract permitting system in Kazakhstan and gives Arras, via the Beskauga Option Agreement with Copperbelt, the right to explore for “All Minerals” (except uranium) until December 31, 2023.

The Stepnoe and Ekidos exploration licences were both granted to Arras’ 100% controlled subsidiary, Ekidos LLP, on October 22, 2020, under the new mining code for an initial six-year period.

Beskauga License

Dostyk LLP (“Dostyk”) maintains minerals rights for the Beskauga deposit based on Licence No. 785 (series MG) dated January 8, 1996 and a series of subsequent contracts and addendums as per the Republic of Kazakhstan legislation.

Pursuant to the Beskauga Option Agreement, Arras has the right to explore for “All Minerals” (except uranium) on the Dostyk licence, including at the Beskauga deposit. The Beskauga Option Agreement was valid until the last day of validity of Licence MG No. 785, being January 8, 2021, with an ability to extend until the full depletion of resources of the Beskauga deposit. On February 8, 2021, MIID granted an extension of the exploration rights to Dostyk until February 8, 2024. Pursuant to this extension, Dostyk is committed to work program expenditures over three years to keep the license in good standing as follows:

· 2021: 720,384,000 KZT (US$1.548 million, using the foreign exchange rate of 465.51 KZT for one U.S. dollar<br>as of March 29, 2022)
· 2022: 1,090,350,000 KZT (US$2.342 million, using the foreign exchange rate of 465.51 KZT for one U.S.<br>dollar as of March 29, 2022)
--- ---
· 2023: 1,880,125,000 KZT (US$4.039 million, using the foreign exchange rate of 465.51 KZT for one U.S.<br>dollar as of March 29, 2022)
--- ---

Before expiration in February, 2024, the Beskauga exploration licence can be converted into a mining license for twenty-five years, subject to all conditions of the current licence being met and a committee review by the Kazakh mining department.

Alternatively, as License MG No.785 was issued under the older permitting system, it can be converted into an exploration license issued under the new permitting system. This would allow extending the exploration period under a new exploration license for up to 5 additional years, prior to requiring to be converted to a mining license.

Beskauga Mineral License Option Agreement

Pursuant to the Beskauga Option Agreement, Arras may exercise the Beskauga Option to acquire Copperbelt’s right, title and 100% interest in the Beskauga Property.

Commencing on January 27, 2021, Arras has four years to conduct exploration activities on the Beskauga Property. A cumulative US$15 million in exploration expenditure on the Beskauga licence, as well as the Ekidos and Stepnoe exploration licences, are required to keep the option in good standing over the four-year period. Minimum expenditures each year are as follows: US$2 million in year one, US$3 million in year two, US$5 million in year three and US$5 million in year four, for a total exploration spend of US$15 million over four years.

| 30 |

| --- |

The Beskauga Option Agreement provides that, subject to its terms and conditions, after Arras has incurred the exploration expenditures, it may exercise the Beskauga Option and acquire the Beskauga Property for a US$15 million cash payment to Copperbelt.

The Beskauga Option Agreement also provides that, subject to its terms and conditions, Arras may be obligated to make additional bonus payments to Copperbelt if the Beskauga Main Project or the Beskauga South Project is the subject of a bankable feasibility study in compliance with NI 43-101 indicating gold equivalent resources noted in the below table. Twenty percent (20%) of the bonus payments are payable after completion of the bankable feasibility study and the remaining eighty percent (80%) are payable within 15 business days of commencement of on-site construction of a mine at Beskauga Main Project or Beskauga South Project. Up to 50% of the bonus payments under the Beskauga Option Agreement are payable in Common Shares at the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price of the shares on the TSXV calculated as of the date immediately preceding the date such shares are issued.

Table 1: Bonus Payments under the BeskaugaOption Agreement

Gold equivalent resources Cumulative Bonus Payments
Beskauga Main Project
3,000,000 ounces $2,000,000
5,000,000 ounces $6,000,000
7,000,000 ounces $12,000,000
10,000,000 ounces $20,000,000

4,000,000 ounces $8,000,000
5,000,000 ounces $12,000,000

The Beskauga Option Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances, including (i) upon the mutual written agreement of Arras and Copperbelt; (ii) upon the delivery of written notice by Arras in its sole discretion; or (iii) if there is a material breach by a party of its obligations under the Beskauga Option Agreement and the non-breaching party has provided written notice of such material breach, which is incapable of being cured or remains uncured.

Stepnoe and Ekidos Exploration Licenses

Arras recently acquired two exploration licences, both of which were granted on October 22, 2020 to Ekidos LLP. The Ekidos (No. 875-EL) and Stepnoe (No. 876-EL) licences were applied for under the new SSU Code. Under the new code, the licences are granted for “All Minerals” (except uranium) for an initial six-year period. The licence can be extended once for an additional 5 years.

An annual exploration commitment for each licence is calculated based on the number of 2.5 km^2^ “blocks” contained within the licence. The rates will vary slightly from year to year due to changing exchange rates, but the annual expenditure commitment for 2022 for the Stepnoe and Ekidos licences is calculated via a formula outlined in the mining code to be approximately US$150K for each licence. It is not expected this annual exploration commitment cost will materially vary over the first three years.

| 31 |

| --- |

In addition to the annual exploration commitment costs there is also an annual “land lease” fee which has been calculated to equate to approximately US$21,000 each per year for the Ekidos and Stepnoe licences.

Ekidos-Stepnoe JV Agreement

On September 1, 2020, Arras entered into the JV Agreement with Copperbelt in connection with the Stepnoe and Ekidos exploration licences. Under the terms of the JV Agreement, Arras will manage and fund all exploration activities on the properties. Arras can acquire Copperbelt’s twenty percent (20%) interest in the joint venture for $1.5 million per license. Exploration expenditures on these licences under the joint venture can contribute to Arras’s US$15 million expenditure commitment under the Beskauga Option Agreement.

There are no known environmental liabilities or other significant risks or factors that might affect access or title, or the right or ability to perform work on the Beskauga Project. The deposit is under cover and no past mining has been undertaken.

History

The Beskauga deposit was discovered by a regional shallow drilling program conducted during the Soviet period in the 1980s. Following privatisation, Licence No. MG 785 (Maikuben) issued to Goldbelt Resources Ltd. (“Goldbelt”) via its eighty percent (80%) subsidiary, Dostyk, included the Beskauga Project area. Goldbelt transferred its interest in Dostyk to Celtic Resources in 2000. Neither Goldbelt nor Celtic Resources carried out any drilling at Beskauga.

Dostyk was acquired by Vancouver-based Cigma Metals in 2007 when exploration at Beskauga commenced. In 2009, Copperbelt acquired Dostyk from Cigma Metals and continued to undertake exploration at Beskauga, as well as other targets in the larger licence area. Copperbelt’s current 67.8 km^2^ licence only covers the Beskauga deposit, the other prospects were relinquished or divested by Copperbelt.

Historical Exploration

Geological investigation began in the district in the late 1920s when Kazakhstan was part of the Soviet Union. In the 1960s, regional scale mapping outlined some promising areas of alteration and geophysical anomalies that were worthy of follow up work. In the 1970s and the 1980s, continued regional-scale mapping and exploration further delineated zones of interest.

Between 1981 and 1990, the Beskauga area saw ground magnetic and IP surveys followed by shallow drilling programs. Shallow drilling on a 200 m x 200 m grid (partially infilled at 200 m x 100 m) through the overlying Quaternary cover targeted geophysical and geochemical anomalies. A total of 411 holes were drilled during this period for 15,063 meters, with the primary aim of obtaining bedrock information, including geochemistry. A further 20 diamond holes were also drilled during this period to depths of 100–200 m for a total of 3,818 meters.

This initial drilling identified Beskauga as an area of interest, but no significant mineralised intercepts were obtained and the area was not followed up until Dostyk commenced drilling in 2007. Drillhole locations, survey and analytical data from this period are not available and therefore these holes were not considered in the preparation of the Beskauga Technical Report.

| 32 |

| --- |

In 1996, Goldbelt, via Dostyk, acquired the Maikuben exploration licence that included the Beskauga area. Goldbelt defined about 20 areas of interest and conducted preliminary surface work programs on these prospects in 1996 and 1997. Based on the results of this program, Goldbelt relinquished approximately 25% of the area covered by Licence MG No. 785.

In 2012, Dostyk undertook a ground-based magnetic and IP survey over the main Beskauga deposit area. Both the magnetic and IP surveys were completed by SPC Geoken LLP, a local geophysical service provider.

The survey points for the magnetic survey were collected at 20 second intervals with a variable line spacing of 200 m to 400 m using a Proton Precession Magnetometer MM-61. The results of the magnetic survey show several relative magnetic highs >1000 nT which present targets for follow-up exploration. Drilling by Arras in 2021 has demonstrated one of the magnetics highs to be associated with a mineralised and intensely potassic altered monzodiorite intrusion.

The survey points for the IP dipole-dipole survey were taken on 100 m centres with a 400 m line spacing using a Zonge GGT 30 kW transmitter. The chargeability data shows a spatial correlation with the known mineralisation defined by drilling and indicates that the mineralising system may be much larger than the historically defined area. The area of anomalous chargeability is ~9 km^2^, comparable to many known large porphyry copper-gold deposits of the world.

The fact that chargeability values increase with depth suggests that the deposit drilled thus far lies in the upper portions of the mineralised porphyry system, with an insignificant erosional truncation. This correlates with the mineralogy and alteration types identified in drilling to date suggesting that only the upper epithermally overprinted part of a system has been tested.

Geological Setting

The Beskauga Project is located in north-eastern Kazakhstan, within the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (“CAOB”) that is also referred to as the “Altaid Tectonic Collage” and extends eastwards into Russia, Mongolia and China as the Transbaikal-Mongolian orogenic collage. These combined collages extend from the Ural Mountains in Russia and Kazakhstan in the west through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, China, and Mongolia.

The CAOB is a region of geological complexity characterised as a collage of numerous tectonic, structural, and stratigraphic domains, that were assembled and intermittently deformed beginning in the Late Neoproterozoic through the Paleozoic to the early Mesozoic, with accretion essentially complete by about 250 Ma. This makes the CAOB the most extensive and long-lived accretionary orogen globally. It progressively developed through the accretion of island arcs, ophiolites, oceanic islands, seamounts, accretionary wedges, oceanic plateaux, and microcontinents in a manner comparable with that of circum-Pacific Mesozoic–Cenozoic accretionary orogens. The CAOB is one of the world’s most richly mineralised regions and contains several world class porphyry copper-gold/molybdenum and epithermal gold deposits.

The Beskauga Project, as well as the producing Bozshakol porphyry Cu-Au deposit, are in the western part of the CAOB, namely the Late Cambrian to Early Ordovician Bozshakol–Chingiz (BC) magmatic-arc terrane, within the Kazakhstan Orocline. The BC arc is one of the major tectonic units in the western CAOB, extending for more than 1000 km and considered part of the larger Kipchak arc.

Beskauga is a gold-rich, porphyry style, copper-gold system with elevated grades of silver and molybdenum. The project area is underlain by sedimentary and volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks of Ordovician age, that have been intruded by intrusives ranging in composition from gabbro-diorite to quartz diorite and granodiorite. These intrusive rocks represent the major portion of the Beskauga Main deposit area. Porphyry-style, copper-gold mineralisation in the Beskauga Main deposit is largely hosted within diorite and monzodiorite, whereas the Beskauga South gold mineralisation is hosted within porphyritic andesite, intruded by mineralised dykes of microdiorite. Post-mineral dykes of porphyritic diorite, basalt and basaltic andesite also cut the host sequence. The deposit area is covered by a 10–40 m thick cover of younger sediments of upper Eocene and Quaternary age.

At the Beskauga Main deposit, a monzodiorite has intruded into an extensive area of medium grained, equigranular diorite, and forms a “bulls-eye” magnetic high. The diorite surrounding the monzodiorite intrusion forms a broad concentric de-magnetised zone, coincident with an IP chargeability anomaly. This diorite is host to the bulk of the mineralisation identified to date, as stockwork mineralisation and intense sheeted veining on the eastern flank of the monzodiorite. Intrusive relationships and timing relative to mineralisation have not been clearly established. In 2021, Arras commissioned the Mineral Deposits Studies Group Unit (MDRU) at the University of British Columbia, to carry out U-Pb geochronology and trace element analysis of zircon on a drill core sample of the host diorite. A weighted mean 207Pb-corrected, 206Pb/238U age, yielded a late Ordovician age of 457.1 ± 3.3 Ma. As this is the age of the host diorite, this should be considered the maximum age of the mineralisation.

Mineralization

The highest-grade core of the Beskauga Main deposit is associated with advanced argillic alteration, comprised of kaolinite, dickite, illite and smectite to a maximum depth of 350 m, as confirmed by on-going TerraSpec SWIR/NIR spectroscopy. The sheeted veining and stockwork mineralisation hosted within the diorite are generally associated with intense argillic (illite-smectite ± kaolinite) overprinting of earlier potassic (k-feldspar-biotite-magnetite-quartz) alteration, as evidenced by remnants of potassic alteration locally. The argillic overprint gradually decreases with depth, eventually giving way to largely unaffected potassic alteration beyond 700 – 850 m. At these depths, argillic alteration persists only as local alteration around faults and fractures.

The adjacent monzodiorite which hosts variable mineralisation, including distinctive chalcopyrite-magnetite and chalcopyrite-only veins, is potassic (biotite-k-feldspar-magnetite) altered all the way to the bedrock surface, with a zone of potassic altered microdiorite on its eastern flank. Argillic overprinting of the monzodiorite is limited and largely restricted to faults and fractures. Post-mineral porphyritic diorites are potassic altered at depth and argillic altered at shallower levels, mirroring the alteration of the deposit, but lack any veining. Other post-mineral dykes include basalts and basaltic andesites, that are either fresh or have experienced propylitic (chlorite-magnetite-carbonate) alteration.

Beskauga is interpreted by Arras to represent a gold-rich, porphyry-style, copper-gold system that has been overprinted by high-sulphidation epithermal mineralisation, either through telescoping or due to clustering of multiple porphyry centres in the Beskauga licence. The overprinted portions of the system are characterised by tennantite (±tennantite-enargite) as the major Cu-sulphide species. The overprinted portion of the Beskauga deposit frequently returns assays exceeding 4 g/t AuEq.

The principal metallic minerals at Beskauga deposit include chalcopyrite, pyrite, tennantite, enargite, bornite and molybdenite, with magnetite and hematite also present. Based upon modelling of whole rock lithogeochemistry for copper species, sub-ordinate tennantite is also inferred. QEMSCAN mineralogy, completed as part of metallurgical test work by Dostyk, indicates that chalcopyrite and pyrite are the dominant sulphides with subordinate tennantite and chalcocite. Both historical and re-assays show that there is a close correlation between gold and copper grades. Sulphides occur as fine-grained disseminations as well as in stockwork veins and veinlets, generally 3–5 mm wide, consisting of quartz-magnetite-chalcopyrite; chalcopyrite-magnetite; quartz-chalcopyrite ± molybdenite; chalcopyrite only; quartz-pyrite ± carbonate; quartz-tennantite ± chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite, covellite, carbonate; and carbonate ± tennantite veins. Free gold has been identified in polished sections and microprobe analysis showed high fineness (gold – 83.41%, silver – 12.63%). The occurrence of significant tennantite at Beskauga is not unusual for gold-rich porphyry systems, particularly those with a high-sulphidation overprint, but does have metallurgical implications, including high arsenic levels in the final copper concentrate arising from the presence of tennantite

The highest-grade core of the Beskauga Main deposit is associated with advanced argillic alteration, comprised of kaolinite-dickite-illite-smectite, confirmed by on-going TerraSpec SWIR/NIR spectroscopy. The sheeted veining and stockwork mineralisation hosted within the diorite are generally associated with intense argillic (illite-smectite ± kaolinite) overprinting of earlier potassic (k-feldspar-biotite-magnetite-quartz) alteration. The argillic overprint gradually decreases with depth, eventually giving way to largely unaffected potassic alteration beyond approximately 700 – 850 m. At these depths, argillic alteration persists only as local alteration around faults and fractures. The adjacent monzodiorite which hosts variable mineralisation, including distinctive chalcopyrite-magnetite and chalcopyrite-only veins, is potassic (biotite-k-feldspar-magnetite) altered all the way up to the bedrock surface.

Deposit Types

The Beskauga Project hosts a gold-rich, porphyry-style, copper-gold system with probable high-sulphidation epithermal overprint, associated with calc-alkaline intrusions related to island arc volcanism during the Lower Palaeozoic. Porphyry systems host most of the world’s copper deposits, and mineralisation typically forms at shallow levels (in the upper 4 km of the crust) as low-grade disseminations associated with a halo of hydrothermal alteration related to an intrusion, which may range in composition from diorite to granodiorite and granite. These deposits form by precipitation of mineralisation from magmatic hydrothermal fluids enriched in metals. Owing to their relationship with hydrothermal fluids, porphyry copper deposits display a consistent, broad-scale alteration-mineralisation zoning pattern related to these fluids, comprising a core of potassic alteration, surrounded sequentially outwards by phyllic and propylitic alteration, with the zone of potassic alteration typically being of primary importance for copper mineralisation. Primary (hypogene) copper mineralisation typically occurs as chalcopyrite and bornite.

Exploration

In 2021, Arras commissioned SPC Geoken LLP to conduct a high resolution airborne magnetic survey over the Beskauga license and neighbouring Ekidos and Stepnoe licence areas with flight lines oriented east-west. The survey was flown at 70 m ground clearance with a line spacing of 100 m and tie-lines of 1000 m. In 2021, Arras also commissioned Condor Consulting Limited to carry out re-processing of the 2012 IP dipole-dipole survey data and the resulting chargeability anomalies are currently being drill tested by the Company.

Arras, via Ekidos LLP, staked the Stepnoe and Ekidos exploration licenses with the intention of exploring the surrounding region. As at the effective date of the Beskauga Technical Report, work has yet to commence on this additional ground.

Arras is currently integrating data, both public and private, on the regional area around the Beskauga Project. The public information is from work conducted during the Soviet era and includes regional geophysical surveys as well as 1:250,000 and 1:50,000 scale geological mapping. This data forms a valuable initial basis for prospect evaluation when used with targeted stratigraphic and structural analysis. In addition, Arras has used Landsat and ASTER images to develop hydrothermal alteration models for selected target areas where there is no overburden.

Drilling

Historical Drilling pre-2007

During the Soviet exploration era (1981-1990), the Beskauga area saw significant shallow drilling on a 200 by 200 meter grid (partially infilled at 200 by 100 meters) through the overlying Quaternary and Eocene cover to sample the underlying bedrock. A total of 411 holes were drilled during this period for an aggregate of 15,063 meters. None of the core or original assay data is available from this work, but Dostyk obtained the reports from the drilling campaign and used this as the basis for staking the ground in 2007.

In addition to the shallow prospecting holes, a further 20 holes were drilled to depths of 100 to 200m for a total of 3,818 meters. These drillholes had a diameter of 59 mm and were drilled at angles between 75 and 80 degrees towards the southeast. Core recovery in all drill-holes for the period 1981-1990 was between sixty percent (60%) and eighty percent (80%).

Drilling data from this period was not used in the Mineral Resource estimate.

Dostyk Drilling 2007-2017

A total of 118 diamond drillholes for 45,605.8 m were completed by Dostyk between 2007 and 2017. Diamond drilling was performed by contractor CenterGeolSyomka LLP using SKB-5M drill rigs and Boart Longyear tooling. Drilling was done at either HQ or NQ diameter depending on the depth of the hole, which ranged from 150 m to 815 m. Of the 118 diamond drillholes completed, 101 have been used for the Mineral Resource estimate.

All drillholes (including vertical holes) have downhole surveys completed by the drilling contractor using an IEM-36 survey instrument (a Soviet/Russian instrument for use in a non-magnetic environment). Surveys were completed every 20 m of the downhole length and were taken after the drilling has been completed, before closing the drillhole. All related documents are kept at the Dostyk head office in Almaty.

Primary field logging was performed at the Dostyk base camp after core delivery from the drilling sites.

Intervals to be sampled were determined by the logging geologist on the basis of geological parameters. The sample length was generally between 0.5 m and 1 m, with a lesser proportion up to 2 m. Upon completion of logging, the drill core was marked along the long axis to be split in half for sampling.

All samples were prepared for wet chemical analyses at the Dostyk sample preparation facility located on site. Core sampling was performed by cutting the core along long axis into two equal portions using a diamond saw. One half of the core was sampled and sent to the laboratory for assay, whereas the other half was retained to serve as a library sample which could be used for future duplicate sampling, for additional test work or for petrography and mineralogy studies.

Arras Drilling 2021

During 2021, four deep diamond holes were drilled for a total of 3,694.7 m. Diamond drilling was performed by contractor CenterGeolSyomka LLP using CDH-1600 drill rigs with Boart Longyear tooling. All holes were started with HQ diameter and then reduced to NQ diameter for the deeper portions of each hole, which ranged in depth from 404.7 m to 1164.3 m. Core recovery was greater than 95% on average. Arras has integrated the historical databases with the current/ongoing drilling program and all 4 diamond holes are included in Mineral Resource estimate.

Based on apparent mineralisation intercepts, the zone of mineralisation at the Beskauga Project varies between approximately 50 and 600 m wide, with a footprint that extends for approximately 700 m along a north-south strike, and 600 m along east-west strike, with a depth of between 300 m and 800 m.

KGK Drilling

Hydraulic-core lift (“KGK”) drilling is a system designed to drill holes for geochemical sampling and geological mapping of bedrock beneath the cover sediments. The method was developed in the Soviet Union and is in general similar to “wet” RC drilling. Rocks are cut by hard alloy crown bits and the cut chips and drill mud are delivered through a dual rod by pump to the surface, where the material is filtered out and collected. The method is used in the early phases of mineral exploration for a quick assessment of relatively large areas.

Between 2011 and 2014, Dostyk undertook an extensive KGK drill program to define “blind” mineralised targets through the Quaternary cover. The depths of drillholes ranged from 22m to 65m and averaged around 35m. Usually the holes were terminated within 5 m after intersecting bedrock. A total of 1,606 holes were drilled for 52,580 m within the greater Beskauga area and 2,496 samples were collected for analysis.

In 2021, Arras started a KGK drilling program on the periphery of the Beskauga deposit that had not been tested by previous campaigns, as well as additional infill holes in areas previously drilled by Dostyk. A total of 354 holes have been drilled to date for 18,702m and a single sample from each hole collected and sent for assay. The depth of the drillholes varies from 15 to 99 m with an average depth of 50 m.

The purpose of KGK drilling is to map geology and define areas of alteration and mineralisation below the overburden and hence these holes are only sampled at or near the contact with the underlying bedrock. KGK drilling is therefore considered an exploration tool and drill results are not used for Mineral Resource estimation.

Sampling, Analysis and Data Verification

During the 2007–2017 exploration program, samples were prepared at the Dostyk facility in Ekibastuz. The half-core samples were dried in a drying chamber and weighed using laboratory scales with a 0.05 g division value with weights registered in a sample receipt log. Samples were then crushed using two-stage crushing, with the first stage involving jaw crushing (to -7 mm) and the second stage using a roller crusher and screen (to -2 mm).

Following crushing, samples were split with a Jones splitter, with the bulk of the sample stored as a crush reject and ~1 kg milled using cup vibration mills to 200 mesh fineness (-90 μm). The samples were then split again, with one portion sent to the Stewart Assay and Environmental Laboratories LLC (“SAEL”) in Kara-Balta, Kyrgyzstan. Upon arrival at SAEL, the samples were coded and registered in the sample coding log and then re-registered under their new codes in the sample passing log. Following registration of samples and inclusion into the operator database, the samples were sent for analysis for gold by fire assay and copper, molybdenum, and silver by 0.2 g aqua regia digestion, followed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis.

A second portion of selected samples was sent to Jetysugeomining LLP laboratory for atomic-absorption analysis, and the remaining sample was stored as a pulp duplicate. All equipment used for sample crushing and milling (including tables) was cleaned and blown with compressed air after each sample. After each batch of samples, a clean blank material was passed though the equipment (glass for crushers, quartz sand for mills). The sample preparation area was subject to compulsory wet cleaning once a day.

The split core and crushed duplicate sample were stored in the specifically equipped sample storage facility consisting of a hangar with shelves. This facility can be locked and has on-site security.

During the 2021 Arras exploration program, cut drillcore samples were sent to ALS laboratory in Karaganda where sample preparation was undertaken. Gold fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy were carried out at the Karaganda laboratory, while prepared samples were shipped to ALS laboratory in Ireland for ICP-MS analyses.

Between 2007 and 2021, various laboratories were utilised for analytical requirements including the following:

  • Quartz Chemical/Analytical Laboratory, Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan (2007–2008)
  • Jetysugeomining Laboratory LLP, Almaty, Kazakhstan (2009–2011)
  • HelpGeo Laboratory, Almaty, Kazakhstan (2012–2014)
  • SAEL, Kara-Balta, Kyrgyzstan (2007–2017)
  • ALS Kazgeochemistry LLP, Karaganda, Kazakhstan (2021)

SAEL has been utilised by Dostyk as the primary laboratory from 2007 to now, with all results used for the Mineral Resource estimate provided by SAEL. Umpire assays were carried out at Genalysis Laboratory in Perth, Australia. It should be noted that all results used for the Mineral Resource estimate were provided by SAEL up to and including 2017, while results from 2021 were provided by ALS laboratory in Kazakhstan.

At both SAEL and Genalysis, samples were analysed for gold using the gold fire assay (“FA”) with an atomic absorption spectrometry (“AAS”) finish with a 30 g bead used in the FA process. A further 33 elements were determined by an aqua regia digest followed by ICP-OES measurement of elemental concentrations.

Historical quality assurance/quality control (“QA/QC”) samples were comprised of certified reference materials (“CRMs”), blanks, duplicates, and umpire assays. CRMs used were OREAS 209, OREAS 501b, OREAS 502b, OREAS 503b, and OREAS 54Pa. A total of 187 gold CRMs and 124 copper CRMs were analysed, representing 0.52% and 0.34% respectively, of the 36,271 samples in the database, well below the recommended rate for CRMs. A total of 318 blank samples (0.9% of all samples) were submitted for analysis, although no information was provided regarding the acquisition and preparation of the blank samples. Of all the blank material sampled, the majority had below detection or very low values reported, indicating that there is little contamination overall. In 2013, 97 pulp duplicates were submitted for re-assay and the results show relatively good repeatability. However, this only represents one year and 0.27% of all samples and in addition no core duplicates were submitted, representing a significant gap in QA/QC.

External control check assays at Genalysis were completed on 966 samples (2.7% of all assays) and results show relatively good repeatability and similar distribution for gold and copper, although there is a slight positive bias towards the original results, especially for the copper grades.

In the 2021 drilling campaign of four holes, a total of 81 gold and copper CRMs were analysed, representing 2.76% (insertion rate 1 CRM per 40 samples) of all the 2926 core samples. The CRMs used were OREAS 152a, OREAS 503d, OREAS 505, OREAS 506, OREAS 606, which were submitted to ALS for analysis together with the samples.

It is the opinion of the Qualified Person (David Underwood) that sample preparation and analyses were done in line with industry standards and are satisfactory. Although the number of CRM, duplicate, and blank samples are lower than what is considered standard, the quality of assays is considered to be reliable and suitable to be used for the Mineral Resource estimate.

Data Verification

A site visit was carried out by David Underwood, Qualified Person, between October 21 and November 8, 2021, during which drill rigs and core storage sites were visited, and logging and sample preparation facilities and procedures were inspected. All procedures observed were considered appropriate. During the site visit, David Underwood observed core logging and sampling procedures, reviewed sampling preparation facilities and procedures, and inspected documentation related to drilling, sampling, and assaying. No samples were collected for additional laboratory verification; however, mineralized intervals were inspected and compared with assay values for confirmation of mineralization.

The authors of the Beskauga Technical Report have reviewed all of the information provided by the Company and all publicly available historical reports. Original assay certificates were made available for drilling completed between 2007 and 2021. The authors compared randomly chosen sample intervals within the drill database provided by the Company, to the original assay certificates. Several instances were noted where provisional values were not updated with final assay values. The database was updated using the final certified values. No other discrepancies were identified.

The verification programs undertaken on the collected data adequately support the geological interpretations. The analytical database quality therefore supports the use of the data in mineral resource estimation.

Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

Six metallurgical testing programs have been conducted on the mineralisation at Beskauga between 2009 and 2017, including initial evaluation of flotation testing on a master composite (2009), mineralogical evaluation and flotation response on average grade metallurgical composite (2010), flotation response on high grade metallurgical composite (2011), comminution and flotation optimisation testing on various metallurgical composites (2015), gold optimisation testing on bulk product (2017) and Toowong Process amenability testing (2017). Testing was carried out at Kazmekhanbor (Almaty, Kazakhstan), ALS Ammtec (Perth, Australia), Wardell Armstrong International (Cornwall, United Kingdom) and HRL Testing (Brisbane, Australia).

Initial laboratory testing showed copper recovery of 78.44% and concentrate grades of 18.48% Cu, which were lower than desired, as well as identifying high arsenic levels in the final copper concentrate due to the presence of tennantite. Subsequent bench-scale testwork focused on the testing of a starter pit composite and an average copper grade composite, which enabled a rougher/scavenger stage to recover most of the mineralisation into a low concentrate mass (at a primary grind size P80 of 120 µm), followed by regrinding the rougher/ scavenger concentrate and then utilising three-stage cleaning to produce a final copper concentrate. Concentrate grades of >22% Cu were achieved for all samples, with recoveries between 78.18% and 87.58%.

Locked cycle tests carried out on each of the Beskauga Main metallurgical composites showed that copper grades of >20% were achieved at recoveries ranging from 82.66% to 89.06%.

| 39 |

| --- |

Cyanide leach testing was carried out on rougher and first cleaner scavenger tail products for the gold at Beskauga Main, which is primarily associated with chalcopyrite but also occurs in pyrite. Results showed that there is a high portion of cyanide soluble gold in the rougher tail and first cleaner scavenger tail products and that good recoveries (52.8% and 60.4%, respectively) could be achieved. It is proposed that a pyrite float stage on the rougher tailings stream is included to produce a gold-bearing pyrite concentrate.

The Toowong Process is an emerging hydrometallurgical treatment process designed to remove arsenic, antimony and other metalloid and non-metal penalty or hazardous elements from base and precious metal concentrates. A final copper concentrate sample was used to test the amenability of Beskauga concentrate to the Toowong process. Preliminary benchtop leaching testwork demonstrated that the Beskauga Main concentrate is amenable to removal of the penalty element arsenic with this process.

The several stages of test work have demonstrated the following key findings:

  • Approximately 85% or above of the copper in the Beskauga deposit can be recovered to a sulphide concentrate via floatation using a coarse grind size P80 of 120 μm, resulting in a copper concentrate >21% Cu.
  • Approximately 55% of the gold contained in the Beskauga deposit reports to the copper concentrate, which grades at approximately 20 g/t Au or above.
  • An additional 19.5% of the gold in the Beskauga deposit that does not report to the copper concentrate could potentially be recovered by including a pyrite float stage on the rougher tailings stream to produce a gold bearing pyrite concentrate. The pyrite concentrate in combination with the first cleaner scavenger tail would be sent to a conventional CIL circuit to recover the gold as a gold doré.
  • The Toowong Process is a potential avenue to address penalty levels of arsenic in the copper concentrate.

Mineral Resource Estimate

On December 12, 2021, the Beskauga drill hole data was provided to Archer, Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited. Data was inspected for overlapping or missing data, inconsistent hole depths, downhole survey errors, and mis-matching hole identification.

Wireframes representing mineralised areas were generated by the Company in Leapfrog. Grade shells were based on copper and gold assay data and took into consideration lithological constraints and known structural trends. One metre composites were generated down drillholes passing through the mineralised wireframes.

Classical statistical analysis was carried out for composites within the mineralised wireframes to determine appropriate capping values for copper, gold, and silver. Top cut values for copper, gold, and silver were 3.00%, 10.0 g/t, and 25.0 g/t, respectively.

Variograms were calculated and modelled for the composited sample file constrained by the corresponding mineralised envelopes using Supervisor software (version 8.14.3.2). Geostatistical analysis was carried out separately for copper, gold, and silver mineralisation.

Horizontal continuity was modeled first at twenty 18° increments. Continuity models were then created for the across strike and dip-plane orientations. Once the direction of maximum continuity was selected, a down-hole linear semi-variogram was created to determine the nugget effect.

Bulk density values were assigned to block model cells using a single bulk density value of 2.73 t/m^3^.

| 40 |

| --- |

Block modelling was carried out using Geovia GEMS software (version 6.7.2). An empty block model was created to enclose the wireframe models with block sizes of 20 m x 20 m x 20 m. Copper, gold, and grades were interpolated into the empty block model using both Ordinary Kriging (“OK”) and Inverse Distance Weighting (“IDW”). The IDW method with a power of two was used to support and validate the kriged estimates.

The first search radii for all mineralised envelopes were selected to be equal to approximately one quarter of the semi-variogram long ranges in all directions. Model cells that did not receive a grade estimate from the first pass interpolation run were used in the next (second pass) interpolation with search radii equal to approximately two-thirds the semi-variogram ranges in all directions. A third interpolation was run using search radii equal to the semi-variogram ranges. The model cells that did not receive grades from the first three passes were then estimated using a fourth pass with search radii equal to twice the semi-variogram ranges.

Validation of the Beskauga grade interpolation was completed using a comparison of the block model and composite mean grades, visual checks on screen in sectional view to ensure that block model grades honour the general grade of downhole composites, swath plots comparing input and output grades in a semi-local sense, and comparison of the block model volume with the combined wireframe volume. There is a degree of smoothing as expected from the estimation method used, particularly evident in areas of wide spaced drilling where the number of composites was relatively low. However, the general trend in the composites is reflected in the block model.

Mineral Resources were classified using the CIM (2014) definition of Mineral Resources into Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources. The classification is based upon an assessment of geological and mineralisation continuity, and QAQC results, as well as considering the level of geological understanding of the deposit. Classification was done by colour coding the interpolation run, with blocks falling within the first two interpolation runs classified as Indicated, and all others Inferred. The resulting block model was displayed on screen and the classification of outlying blocks downgraded.

To demonstrate the potential of the Beskauga deposit for eventual economic extraction, a preliminary pit optimisation study was completed. The pit optimisation was carried out using the Mining module of the Studio NPVS software application using the Lerch-Grossman algorithm.

The Mineral Resource estimate has been reported for all blocks in the resource model that are contained within the pit and have a gross metal value (“GMV”) exceeding $20/t. The GMV was calculated using base-case metal prices and recoveries for copper, gold, and silver.

The Mineral Resource estimate has reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction, and is a realistic inventory of mineralisation which, under assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions, might, in whole or in part, become economically extractable.

Negative Operating Cash Flow

For the period from the date of incorporation on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021, the Company had negative cash flow from operations. If the Company continues to have negative cash flow into the future, net proceeds may need to be allocated to fund this negative cash flow. The Company anticipates it will continue to have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods until its properties generate revenues. Future cash flows from such interests are dependent upon the underlying projects achieving production. There can be no assurance that such production will ever be achieved. See “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for further detail.

Dividend Policy

The Company has not, since the date of its incorporation, declared or paid any dividends on the Common Shares and does not currently have a policy with respect to the payment of dividends. The Company currently intends to retain any future earnings to fund the development and growth of its business and does not currently anticipate paying dividends on the Common Shares. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on many factors, including our financial condition, current and anticipated cash requirements, contractual restrictions and financing agreement covenants, solvency tests imposed by corporate law and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Common Stock - No dividends are anticipated.

Escrowed Securities and Securities Subject to Contractual Restriction on Transfer

NP 46-201 provides that all securities of an issuer owned or controlled by a Principal must be placed in escrow at the time the issuer distributes its securities or convertible securities to the public by prospectus, unless the securities held by such Principal or issuable to such Principal upon conversion of convertible securities held by the Principal collectively represent less than 1% of the total issued and outstanding securities of the issuer. Generally, NP 46- 201 does not apply to a prospectus that does not offer securities to the public. However, in Arras’ case, as a market is being developed for its securities, this Prospectus is to be considered an “IPO prospectus” for the purposes of NP 46-201. As such, the securities held by certain “Principals” of the Company (as defined in TSXV Policy 1.1 – Interpretation) (the “Principals”) will be held in escrow pursuant to the policies of NP 46-201.

The following table sets forth the securities of the Principals that, as at the date of Listing, will be subject to escrow or that are currently, or will be, subject to a contractual restriction on transfer and the percentage that number represents of the outstanding securities of that class.

Designation of class Number of securities held in escrow or that are subject to a contractual restriction on transfer Percentage of class
Common Shares 2,498,949 4.75%
Options 3,400,000 62.27%
Silver Bull Warrants 407,000 20.65%

| 50 |

| --- |

As at the date hereof, the Company and Brian Edgar, 0893306 B.C Ltd., Shelina Edgar, Timothy Barry, Daniel Kunz, Darren Klinck and Christopher Richards as Principals (together, the “Escrowed Shareholders”), will enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with Olympia Trust Company, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to which the Escrowed Shareholders will collectively deposit 2,498,949 Common Shares, 3,400,000 Options 407,000 Silver Bull Warrants into escrow (the “Escrowed Securities”) with the Escrow Agent, representing 4.75% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the date of the Prospectus, 62.27% of the issued and outstanding Options as of the date of this Prospectus and 20.67% of the issued and outstanding Silver Bull Warrants as of the date of this Prospectus. G. Wesley Carson and Vera Kobalia each own less than 1% of the total issued and outstanding securities of the Company and their securities will not be subject to the escrow requirements pursuant to the policies of NP 46-201.

The following sets forth particulars of the Escrowed Securities that are subject to the Escrow Agreement as of the date of this Prospectus:

Shareholder Number of Common Shares Number of Options Number of Silver Bull Warrants
Brian Edgar 1,144,704 800,000 106,500
Shelina Edgar ^(1)^ 525,000 - 212,500
Timothy Barry 311,149 1,000,000 -
Daniel Kunz 442,096 300,000 80,000
Darren Klinck 20,000 800,000 -
Christopher Richards 56,000 500,000 8,000

Notes:

(1) Spouse of Brian Edgar; securities held includes 475,000 Common Shares and<br>212,500 Silver Bull Warrants indirectly and beneficially held via 0893306 B.C Ltd., a private company wholly-owned and controlled by Shelina<br>Edgar. 0893306 B.C Ltd. is also subject to the Escrow Agreement.

Upon the completion of the Listing, the Company will be an “emerging issuer” pursuant to NP 46-201 and, as such, the Escrowed Securities will be subject to a three-year escrow and subject to the following release scheduled:

Date Number of Escrowed Securities Released
On the Listing Date 1/10^th^ of the Escrowed Securities
6 months after the Listing Date 1/6^th^ of the remaining Escrowed Securities
12 months after the Listing Date 1/5^th^ of the remaining Escrowed Securities
18 months after the Listing Date 1/4^th^ of the remaining Escrowed Securities
24 months after the Listing Date 1/3^rd^ of the remaining Escrowed Securities
30 months after the Listing Date 1/2 of the remaining Escrowed Securities
36 months after the Listing Date The remaining escrow securities

| 51 |

| --- |

The release schedule may be accelerated if the Company, after the Listing, meets “Tier 1 Issuer” listing requirements of the TSXV or otherwise establishes itself as an “established issuer” as described in NP 46-201.

As of the date of this Prospectus, none of the securities of the Company are or will be at the time of Listing subject to the “Seed Share” restrictions set out in Policy 5.4 – Escrow, Vendor Consideration and Resale Restrictions of the Corporate Finance Manual of the TSXV (“TSXV Policy 5.4”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed Securities will not be able to be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the term of the Escrow Agreement unless the transfers or dealings within escrow are:

· transfers to continuing or, upon their appointment, incoming directors and senior officers of the Company<br>or of a material operating subsidiary, with the approval of the Board;
· transfers to a person or company that before the proposed transfer holds more than 20% of the Company’s<br>outstanding Common Shares, or to a person or company that after the proposed transfer will hold more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding<br>Common Shares and has the right to elect or appoint one or more directors or senior officers of the Company or any material operating<br>subsidiary;
--- ---
· transfers to an RRSP or similar trustee plan provided that the only beneficiaries are the transferor or<br>the transferor’s spouse, children or parents;
--- ---
· transfers upon bankruptcy to the trustee in bankruptcy or another person or company entitled to escrow<br>securities on bankruptcy; and
--- ---
· pledges to a financial institution as collateral for a bona fide loan, provided that upon a realization<br>the securities remain subject to escrow.
--- ---

Tenders of Escrowed Securities to a take-over bid or business combination are permitted provided that, if the tenderer is a Principal of the successor corporation upon completion of the take-over bid or business combination, securities received in exchange for tendered Escrowed Securities are substituted in escrow on the basis of the successor corporation’s escrow classification.

Additionally, securities of the Company may be subject to additional escrow restrictions and restrictions on transfer pursuant to NP 46-201, or if required by the TSXV (in accordance with TSXV Policy 5.4) or other applicable regulations of any other stock exchange on which the securities of the Company may be listed for trading in the future. There can be no guarantee that the Common Shares will be listed for trading on the TSXV or any other stock exchange.

Statutory Hold Periods

1,091,000 Common Shares held by certain shareholders of the Company, issued at C$1.50 per Common Share pursuant to a private placement on May 30, 2022, are subject to a hold period governed by National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities.

In addition to the foregoing, securities legislation may impose additional resale restrictions on securities issued by the Company from time to time. Such hold periods are governed by National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities. All certificates representing securities subject to these restrictions will bear legends indicating the applicable hold periods.

Conflicts of Interest

The members of the Board of Directors are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to disclose any interests, which they may have in any project or opportunity of the Company. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Board of Directors, any director in a conflict is required to disclose his or her interest and abstain from voting on such matter. See “Corporate Governance”.

To the knowledge of the Company, there are no known existing or potential conflicts of interest between the Company and its directors or officers as a result of their outside business interests except that certain of our directors and officers serve as directors and officers of other companies, and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties to us and their duties as a director or officer of such other companies**.** See “CorporateGovernance” and “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Company - The directors and officers may have conflictsof interest with the Company”.

Executive Compensation

The Company was not a reporting issuer at any time during its most recently completed financial year. As a result, certain information required by Form 51-102F6V – Statementof Executive Compensation – Venture Issuers (“Form 51-102F6V”) has been omitted pursuant to Section 1.3(8) of Form 51-102F6V.

Compensation of Named Executive Officers

Securities legislation requires the disclosure of the compensation received by each Named Executive Officer of the Company. “Named Executive Officer” is defined by securities legislation to mean: (i) the CEO; (ii) the CFO; (iii) the most highly compensated executive officer other than the CEO and CFO at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was more than $150,000 for that financial year; and (iv) each individual who would be a “Named Executive Officer” under paragraph (iii) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company or its subsidiaries, nor acting in similar capacity, at the end of the most recently completed financial year.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has the following Named Executive Officers (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”):

  • Timothy T. Barry, CEO and Director of the Company;
  • Christopher Richards, CFO of the Company; and
  • Darren E. Klinck, President and Director of the Company.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

In determining the compensation to be paid or awarded to its executives, the compensation committee of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) seeks to encourage the advancement of the Company’s exploration project, with a view to enhancing shareholder value. To achieve these objectives, the Company believes it is critical to create and maintain a compensation program that attracts and retains committed, highly qualified personnel by providing appropriate rewards and incentives that align the interest of its executives with those of its shareholders. In addition, as Arras, currently, has no revenues from operation and operates with limited financial resources, the Compensation Committee needs to consider not only the Company’s financial situation at the time of determining executive compensation but also the Company’s estimated financial situation in the mid and long term.

The Company’s executive compensation program consists of a combination of base salary and long-term incentives in the form of participation in the Arras Equity Plan. In making its determinations regarding the various elements of executive grants, the Company will seek to meet the following objectives:

| 59 |

| --- | | (a) | to attract, retain and motivate talented executives who create and sustain Arras’ continued success<br>within the context of compensation paid by other companies of comparable size engaged in similar business in appropriate regions. Following<br>the public listing, the Compensation Committee intends to enlist the services of an independent executive compensation firm to assist<br>with developing the appropriate peer company comparables and make the necessary adjustments to compensation structure in order to align<br>the Company’s compensation structure with that of companies with similar size engaged in similar business in similar regions; | | --- | --- | | (b) | to align the interests of the NEOs with the interests of the Company’s shareholders; and | | --- | --- | | (c) | to incent extraordinary performance from our key employees. | | --- | --- |

The Company is an early-stage exploration company and may not generate revenues from operations for a significant period of time. As a result, the use of traditional performance standards, such as corporate profitability, is not considered by the Company to be appropriate in the evaluation of the performance of its executive officers.

Arras Equity Plan

We have one formal equity compensation plan under which equity securities are authorized for issuance to our officers, directors, employees and consultants: the Arras Equity Plan. The maximum number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to grants made under the Arras Equity Plan is 10,295,030 Common Shares, subject to adjustments as provided under the Arras Equity Plan. As of October 31, 2021, there were 9,560,620 Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Arras Equity Plan. As of May 31, 2022, there were 5,260,000 Options issued and outstanding under the Arras Equity Plan.

The Arras Equity Plan was adopted and approved by the Board on April 15, 2021, and amended and restated on July 5, 2021, March 4, 2022 and May 31, 2022.

Under the Arras Equity Plan, Arras may grant incentive or nonqualified stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) or performance share units (“PSUs”) to employees (including officers), directors, and consultants of Arras or any subsidiary thereof.

Upon the listing of the Common Shares on a stock exchange, unless Arras has obtained requisite disinterested shareholder approval required under applicable securities laws, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance to any one participant under the Arras Equity Plan, together with all other security-based compensation arrangements of Arras, including shares issuable to companies that are wholly owned by such participant, in any 12 month period must not exceed 5.0% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated as at the date any grant is made and in accordance with all applicable securities laws. Upon the listing of the Common Shares on a stock exchange:

(a) unless Arras has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder approval required under applicable securities<br>laws, the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to insiders (as a group), together with all other security based compensation<br>arrangements of the Company (i) must not exceed 10% of the number of aggregate issued and outstanding Common Shares at any point in time;<br>and (ii) in any 12 month period, must not exceed 10% of the number of aggregate issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated as at<br>the date any grant is made to an insider in accordance with all applicable securities laws;
(b) the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to all investor relations service provides,<br>in aggregate, together with all other security based compensation arrangements of the Company, in any 12 month period, must not exceed<br>2% of the number of aggregate issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated as at the date any grant is made and in accordance with<br>all applicable securities laws; and
--- ---
| 60 |

| --- | | (c) | the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any one service provider, together with<br>all other security based compensation arrangements of the Company, in any 12 month period, must not exceed 2% of the number of aggregate<br>issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated as at the date any grant is made and in accordance with all applicable securities laws. | | --- | --- |

Except with respect to certain U.S. persons, there are no limitations on the maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance to participants under the Arras Equity Plan prior to the listing of the Common Shares on a stock exchange.

For so long as Common Shares are listed or trade on a stock exchange or other market, options granted under the Arras Equity Plan must have an exercise price that is not less than 100% of the Discounted Market Price (as defined in Policy 1.1 of the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual) based upon the most recent closing price of the Common Shares prior to the grant of such Option. Optionholders, other than an investor relations service provider, may exercise their Options on a cashless basis. Unless otherwise designated by the Board in the applicable grant agreement, one-third of the options granted under the Arras Equity Plan must vest on each of the grant date and the first and second anniversaries of the grant date, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances. Options granted to any investor relations service provider must vest in stages over a period of not less than 12 months, such that no more than ¼ of the options vest no sooner than 3 months after the grant date, no more than another ¼ of the Options vest no sooner than six months after the grant date, no more than another ¼ of the Options vest no sooner than nine months after the grant date and the remainder of the Options vest no sooner than 12 months after the grant date. The exercise period of any option must not exceed 10 years from the grant date. Subject to the terms of the applicable grant agreement and the Board’s discretion, upon the termination of an optionholder’s employment or other relationship with Arras, including as a result of death or disability, outstanding options held by such person are subject to accelerated expiry, as follows: (i) upon the death or disability of an optionholder, vested options shall continue to be exercisable for 12 months while unvested options shall be forfeited; (ii) upon a resignation from Arras by an optionholder or termination of an optionholder without cause, vested options shall continue to be exercisable for 90 days while unvested options shall be forfeited; and (iii) upon the termination of an optionholder for cause, all outstanding options (vested or unvested) shall be forfeited.

Settlement of RSUs and PSUs must be made by the issuance of one share for each RSU or PSU being settled, a cash payment equal to the Discounted Market Price on the vesting date of the RSUs or PSUs being settled, or a combination of shares and cash, all as determined by the Board or as specified in the applicable grant agreement. Unless the applicable grant agreement specifies that RSUs and PSUs must be settled through the issuance of shares, settlement will occur upon or as soon as reasonably practicable following vesting and, in any event, on or before December 31 of the third year following the year in which the participant performed the services to which the grant of RSUs or PSUs relates. Subject to the terms of the applicable grant agreement and the Board’s discretion, upon the termination of the employment or other relationship with Arras, including as a result of death or disability, of a holder of RSUs or PSUs, all unvested entitlements shall be forfeited.

Unless otherwise specified in the grant agreement in respect of a particular award, awards granted pursuant to the Arras Equity Plan are not assignable other than by testamentary disposition or the laws of intestate succession.

| 61 |

| --- |

The Arras Equity Plan, and any grant made pursuant to the Arras Equity Plan, may be amended without approval of the Arras shareholders, except (i) no amendment to the Arras Equity Plan or any grant made pursuant to the Arras Equity Plan may be made without the consent of a participant in the Arras Equity Plan if it adversely alters or impairs the rights of such participant in respect of any previous grant to such participant; and (ii) for so long as the Common Shares are listed on a stock exchange, Arras shareholder approval will be required to (A) increase the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to the Arras Equity Plan, (B) reduce the exercise price of an outstanding option, except as permitted by the Arras Equity Plan, provided that, for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, disinterested shareholder approval will be obtained pursuant to the requirements of the TSXV, (C) extend the maximum term of any grant made under the Arras Equity Plan, except as permitted by the Arras Equity Plan, provided that, for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, disinterested shareholder approval will be obtained pursuant to the requirements of the TSXV, (D) amend the assignment provisions of the Arras Equity Plan, (E) amend the termination provisions applicable to any grant, (F) amend certain grant limits provided under the Arras Equity Plan, (G) amend the method for determining the exercise price of an Option or the value of a share unit on the grant date or the vesting date, (H) include other types of equity compensation involving the issuance of shares of Arras under the Arras Equity Plan, (I) amend the categories of persons who may participate in the Arras Equity Plan as participants, (J) amend the Arras Equity Plan or any grant in any manner which results in benefit to an insider, provided that, for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, disinterested shareholder approval will be obtained for any such amendment, or (G) amend the amendment provisions of the Arras Equity Plan or to grant additional powers to the Board to amend the Arras Equity Plan without shareholder approval.

Pursuant to the Arras Retention Plan, Arras will pay cash bonuses to each of the following persons in the amounts set forth in the following table upon Arras reaching a market capitalization target for five consecutive trading days as set forth in the table (it being understood that that the Common Shares are not currently listed or posted for trading on any stock exchange or market):

Name and<br> <br>principal position C$250 million<br> market capitalization C$500 million<br> market capitalization C$1 billion<br> market capitalization Total<br> bonus opportunity

Christopher Richards <br> Chief Financial Officer C$375,000 C$375,000 C$750,000 C$1,500,000

The Arras Retention Plan further provides that if Arras is the subject of a Change of Control (as defined in the Arras Retention Plan) that exceeds C$250 million, Arras must pay to Mr. Edgar, Mr. Barry, and Mr. Richards cash bonuses equal to 0.30%, 0.45%, and 0.15%, respectively, of the Change of Control transaction amount, less any cash bonuses that may have previously been paid to such persons pursuant to the market capitalization targets noted above. The market capitalization targets or Change of Control must be achieved or completed by April 15, 2027 in order for any officer or employee of Arras to earn the applicable bonus payment described above. Any bonus payable in the future to an officer or employee of Arras will be cancelled (subject to the discretion of the Board) if such officer or employee is not employed directly or indirectly by Arras when such bonus is earned and becomes payable. At the sole discretion of the Board, Arras shall not be obligated to pay a bonus in cash under the Arras Retention Plan if it lacks funds at the time. In lieu of cash, the Board may choose to settle any bonus by issuing and delivering shares of Arras for such amount valued at the five-day trading volume-weighted average price for Arras’ shares on the market calculated up to the day before the issuance of the shares.

Corporate Governance

Director Independence

Currently, the Board of Directors is comprised of six directors, four of which are considered to be independent within the meaning of NI 58-101, being Brian Edgar, Wesley Carson, Vera Kobalia and Daniel Kunz.

The Board is satisfied that the autonomy of the Board and its ability to function independently of management are protected through measures such as the Audit Committee and the Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee being composed of all independent directors.

The Board and committees will hold regularly scheduled meetings without management and non-independent directors. These discussions will generally form part of the committee chairs’ reports to the Board. The Chairman of the Board, Brian Edgar, is independent within the meaning of NI 58-101. The Chairman will encourage open and candid discussions among the independent directors by providing them with an opportunity to express their views on key topics before decisions are taken.

Risk Factors

Investing in our securities is speculativeand involves a high degree of risk due to the nature of our business and the present stage of its development. The following risk factors,as well as risks currently unknown to us, could materially adversely affect our future business, operations and financial condition andcould cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company, or its business,property or financial results, each of which could cause purchasers of our securities to lose part or all of their investment. The risksset out below are not the only risks we face; risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterialmay also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Before deciding whetherto invest in any securities of the Company, investors should consider carefully the risks discussed below.

Risks Related to the Company

There is substantial doubt about whetherwe can continue as a going concern.

To date, we have earned no revenues and have incurred accumulated net losses of approximately $3.00 million and we expect to incur additional losses in the future. In addition, we have limited financial resources. As of April 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.11 million and working capital of approximately $1.84 million. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund our exploration plans and ultimately to attain profitable operations. For the period from inception on February 5, 2021 to December 20, 2021, we raised approximately C$12.5 million through the issuance of our Common Shares. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt as to whether our existing cash resources and working capital are sufficient to enable us to continue our operations as a going concern. Ultimately, in the event that we cannot obtain additional financial resources, or achieve profitable operations, we may have to liquidate our business interests and investors may lose their investment. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that our company will continue as a going concern. Continued operations are dependent on our ability to obtain additional financial resources or generate profitable operations. Such additional financial resources may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Such adjustments could be material.

Negative cash flow from operating activities.

The Company has had negative cash flow from operating activities since inception. The Company’s mineral properties are in the exploration stage and there are no known mineral reserves and the proposed exploration programs on the Company’s mineral properties are exploratory in nature. Significant capital investment will be required to achieve commercial production from the Company’s existing projects. There is no assurance that any of the Company’s mineral properties will generate earnings, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future. Accordingly, the Company will be required to obtain additional financing in order to meet its future cash commitments.

Our operations may be disrupted, andour financial results may be adversely affected, by global outbreaks of contagious diseases, including the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)pandemic.

Global outbreaks of contagious diseases, including the December 2019 outbreak of COVID-19 have the potential to significantly and adversely impact our operations and business. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization recognized COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Pandemics or disease outbreaks such as the currently ongoing COVID-19 outbreak may have a variety of adverse effects on our business, including by depressing commodity prices and the market value of our securities and limiting the ability of our management to meet with potential financing sources. The spread of COVID-19 in Kazakhstan may impact our ability to travel to the region and complete the work necessary to maintain the Beskauga Option. Moreover, the spread of COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, a negative impact on the financial markets, which may impact our ability to obtain additional financing in the near term.

| 73 |

| --- |

We may have difficulty meeting our currentand future capital requirements.

We are required to incur cumulative Exploration Expenditures on the Beskauga Project of $15 million over the four year option period in order to maintain the Beskauga Option. As of October 31, 2021, we have incurred approximately $2.1 million of these expenditures, with approximately $12.9 million remaining to be incurred. If we elect to exercise the Beskauga Option, we are required to pay an additional $15 million. In addition, we must have sufficient funds to pay general and administrative expenses and conduct other exploration activities. If we are unable to fund these amounts by way of financings, including public or private offerings of equity or debt securities, we will need to reorganize or significantly reduce our operations, which may result in an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and exploration activities. If we are unable to fund the amounts specified under the Beskauga Option, we may lose our ability to acquire the Beskauga Project. We do not have a credit, off-take or other commercial financing arrangement in place that would finance continued evaluation or development of the Beskauga Project, and we believe that securing credit for this project may be difficult. Moreover, equity financing may not be available on attractive terms and, if available, will likely result in significant dilution to existing shareholders.

We are an exploration stage mining companywith no history of operations.

We are an exploration stage enterprise engaged in mineral exploration in Kazakhstan. We were formed in 2021 and therefore have a very limited operating history and are subject to all the risks inherent in a new business enterprise. As an exploration stage company, we may never enter the development and production stages. To date, we have had no revenues and have relied upon equity financing to fund our operations. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with an exploration stage business, and the competitive and regulatory environment in which we operate and will operate, such as under-capitalization, personnel limitations, and limited financing sources.

We have no commercially mineable orebody.

No commercially mineable ore body has been delineated on the Beskauga Project, nor has the Beskauga Project been shown to contain proven or Probable Mineral Reserves. We cannot assure you that any mineral deposits we identify on the Beskauga Project will qualify as an ore body that can be legally and economically exploited or that any particular level of recovery of gold, copper or other minerals from discovered mineralization will in fact be realized. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable ore deposits. Even if the presence of reserves is established at a project, the legal and economic viability of the project may not justify exploitation.

Mineral resource estimates may not bereliable.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of Mineral Resources such as gold, copper, silver and zinc, including many factors beyond our control, and no assurance can be given that the recovery of Mineral Resources will be realized. In general, estimates of Mineral Resources are based upon a number of factors and assumptions made as of the date on which the estimates were determined, including:

| 74 |

| --- | | · | geological and engineering estimates that have inherent uncertainties; | | --- | --- | | · | the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies; | | --- | --- | | · | the judgment of the geologists and engineers preparing the estimate; | | --- | --- | | · | estimates of future metals prices and operating costs; | | --- | --- | | · | the quality and quantity of available data; | | --- | --- | | · | the interpretation of that data; and | | --- | --- | | · | the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions, all of which may vary considerably from actual<br>results. | | --- | --- |

All estimates are, to some degree, uncertain. For these reasons, estimates of the Mineral Resources prepared by different geologists or by the same geologists at different times may vary substantially. As such, there is significant uncertainty in any Mineral Resource estimate, and actual deposits encountered and the economic viability of a deposit may differ materially from our estimates.

Our business plan is highly speculative,and its success largely depends on the successful exploration of our Beskauga concessions.

Our business plan is focused on exploring the Beskauga Property to identify reserves and, if appropriate, to ultimately develop the property. Although we have reported Mineral Resources on the Beskauga Project, we have not established any reserves and remain in the exploration stage. We may never enter the development or production stage. Exploration of mineralization and determination of whether the mineralization might be extracted profitably is highly speculative, and it may take a number of years until production is possible, during which time the economic viability of the project may change. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves, extract metals from ore and construct mining and processing facilities.

The Beskauga Project is subject to all of the risks inherent in mineral exploration and development. The economic feasibility of any mineral exploration and/or development project is based upon, among other things, estimates of the size and grade of mineral reserves, proximity to infrastructures and other resources (such as water and power), anticipated production rates, capital and operating costs, and metals prices. To advance from an exploration project to a development project, we will need to overcome various hurdles, including completing favorable feasibility studies, securing necessary permits, and raising significant additional capital to fund activities. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in overcoming these hurdles. Because of our focus on the Beskauga Project, the success of our operations and our profitability may be disproportionately exposed to the impact of adverse conditions unique to the Pavlodar, Kazakhstan region due to the Beskauga Project’s proximity to these locales.

We are uncertain that we will be ableto maintain sufficient cash to accomplish our business objectives.

We are not engaged in any revenue producing activities, and we do not expect to be in the near future. Currently, our potential sources of funding consist of the sale of additional equity securities, entering into joint venture agreements or selling a portion of our interests in our assets. There is no assurance that any additional capital that we will require will be obtainable on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delays or indefinite postponement of further exploration of the Beskauga Project. Additional financing, if available, will likely result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders.

Our exploration activities require significantamounts of capital that may not be recovered.

Mineral exploration activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that no commercially productive or extractable resources will be encountered. There can be no assurance that our activities will ultimately lead to an economically feasible project or that we will recover all or any portion of our investment. Mineral exploration often involves unprofitable efforts, including drilling operations that ultimately do not further our exploration efforts. The cost of minerals exploration is often uncertain, and cost overruns are common. Our drilling and exploration operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including title problems, weather conditions, protests, compliance with governmental requirements, including permitting issues, and shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment and services.

Our financial condition could be adverselyaffected by changes in currency exchange rates, especially between the U.S. dollar and the Kazakh tenge (“KZT”) and the U.Sdollar and the Canadian dollar given our focus on the Beskauga Project in Kazakhstan, and our corporate office in Vancouver, Canada.

Our financial condition is affected in part by currency exchange rates, as portions of our exploration costs in Kazakhstan and general and administration costs in Canada are denominated in the local currency. Although many Kazakh contracts have an adjustment provision to address substantial changes in foreign currency exchange rates, a weakening U.S. dollar relative to the KZT and Canadian dollar may have the effect of increasing exploration costs and general and administration costs, while a strengthening U.S. dollar may have the effect of reducing exploration costs and general and administration costs. The exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar and between the KZT and U.S. dollar have fluctuated widely in response to international political conditions, general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control

Our success depends on developing andmaintaining relationships with local communities and other stakeholders.

Our ongoing and future success depends on developing and maintaining productive relationships with the communities surrounding our operations and other stakeholders in our operating locations. We believe that our operations can provide valuable benefits to surrounding communities, in terms of direct employment, training and skills development. In addition, we seek to maintain our partnerships and relationships with local communities and stakeholders in a variety of ways, including in-kind contributions, sponsorships and donations. Notwithstanding our ongoing efforts, local communities and stakeholders can become dissatisfied with our activities or the level of benefits provided, which may result in legal or administrative proceedings, civil unrest, protests, direct action or campaigns against us. Any such occurrences could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Compliance with laws is costly and mayresult in unexpected liabilities.

The Company is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada and its mineral properties are located in Kazakhstan. The Company’s business is subject to various laws and regulations in Canada and Kazakhstan. These laws include compliance with the Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (Canada), which requires companies to report annually on payments made to all levels of governments both in Canada and abroad. The Company is also required to comply with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, including the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada).

The legal and regulatory requirements in Kazakhstan are different from those in Canada. The Company relies, to a great extent, on the Company’s local advisors in respect of legal, environmental compliance, banking, financing and tax matters in order to ensure compliance with material legal, regulatory and governmental developments as they pertain to and affect the Company’s operations in Kazakhstan. Despite these resources and the Company’s efforts to comply, the Company may fail to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement in Kazakhstan, which may lead to the revocation of certain rights or to penalties or fees and in enforcement actions thereunder.

| 76 |

The directors and officers may have conflictsof interest with the Company.

Certain directors and officers of the Company are or may become associated with other mining and/or mineral exploration and development companies which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Directors who have a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with the Company are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve such a contract. In addition, directors and officers are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. Some of the directors and officers of the Company have either other full-time employment or other business or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, the Company will not be the only business enterprise of these directors and officers. Further, any failure of the directors or officers of the Company to address these conflicts in an appropriate manner or to allocate opportunities that they become aware of to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

The Company may be subject to costlyand unpredictable legal proceedings.

Due to the nature of its business, the Company may be subject to numerous regulatory investigations, claims, lawsuits and other proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. The results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty due to the uncertainty inherent in litigation, including the effects of discovery of new evidence or advancement of new legal theories, the difficulty of predicting decisions of judges and juries and the possibility that decisions may be reversed on appeal. There can be no assurance that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

In the event of a dispute involving the foreign operations of the Company, the Company may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts. The Company's ability to enforce its rights or its potential exposure to the enforcement in Canada or locally of judgments from foreign courts could have an adverse effect on its future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

Compliance with laws is costly and mayresult in unexpected liabilities.

The Company is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada and its mineral properties are located in Kazakhstan. The Company’s business is subject to various laws and regulations in Canada and Kazakhstan. These laws include compliance with the Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (Canada), which requires companies to report annually on payments made to all levels of governments both in Canada and abroad. The Company is also required to comply with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, including the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada).

In addition, upon Listing, the Company will be subject to additional laws and regulations, compliance with which is both time consuming and costly. If the Company and/or its businesses are subject to an enforcement action or are found to be in violation of any such laws, this may result in significant penalties, fines and/or sanctions which could have a material adverse effect on the Company, which could cause a significant decline in the value of the Common Shares.

The legal and regulatory requirements in Kazakhstan are different from those in Canada. The Company relies, to a great extent, on the Company’s local advisors in respect of legal, environmental compliance, banking, financing and tax matters in order to ensure compliance with material legal, regulatory and governmental developments as they pertain to and affect the Company’s operations in Kazakhstan. Despite these resources, the Company may fail to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement in Kazakhstan, which may lead to the revocation of certain rights or to penalties or fees and in enforcement actions thereunder.

We are exposed to information systemsand cyber security risks.

Arras’ information systems (including those of any of its counterparties) may be vulnerable to the increasing threat of continually evolving cybersecurity risks. Unauthorized parties may attempt to gain access to these systems or the Company’s information through fraud or other means of deception. Arras’ operations depend, in part, on how well the Company and its counterparties protect networks, equipment, information technology systems and software against damage from threats. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company’s reputation and results of operations. There can be no assurance that Arras or its counterparties will not incur such losses in the future. The Company’s risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cybersecurity and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain an area of attention.

We need and rely upon key personnel

Presently, we employ a limited number of full-time employees, utilize outside consultants, and in large part rely on the efforts of our officers and directors. Our success will depend, in part, upon the ability to attract and retain qualified employees. In particular, we have only three executive officers, Timothy Barry, Darren Klinck and Christopher Richards, and the loss of the services of any of these three persons could adversely affect our business.

We face general risks in respect of ouroption and joint venture agreements

The Company has and may continue to enter into option agreements and/or joint ventures as a means of acquiring property interests. Any failure of any partner to meet its obligations to the Company or other third parties, or any disputes with respect to third parties’ respective rights and obligations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s rights under such agreements. Furthermore, the Company may be unable to exert direct influence over strategic decisions made in respect of properties that are subject to the terms of these agreements, and the result may be a materially adverse impact on the strategic value of the underlying mineral claims.

We are subject to specific risks associatedwith joint venture agreements

The Company holds its interest in the Stepnoe and Ekidos properties through the JV Agreement, and the Akkuduk, Nogurbek, Maisor and Elemes proper-ties through the Maikain JV Agreement. The existence or occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances and events could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s profitability or the viability of the Company’s interest in the properties, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition:

· disagreement amongst joint venture parties on how to conduct business;
· inability of joint venture parties to meet their obligations to the joint venture or third parties;
--- ---
· litigation arising between joint venture shareholders;
--- ---
· inability to exert influence over certain strategic decisions;
--- ---
| 78 |

| --- | | · | inability of the Company to make its required contributions under the JV Agreement, which may result in<br>dilution to the Company’s interest in the joint venture; and | | --- | --- | | · | decisions under the dispute resolution provisions of the JV Agreement may not be resolved in the Company’s<br>favour. | | --- | --- |

The Company may expand into other geographicareas, which could increase the Company's operational, regulatory and other risks

While currently all of the Company's exploration activities are in Kazakhstan, the Company may in the future expand into other geographic areas, which could increase the Company's operational, regulatory, compliance, reputational and foreign exchange rate risks. The failure of the Company's operating infrastructure to support such expansion could result in operational failures and regulatory fines or sanctions. Future international expansion could require the Company to incur a number of up-front expenses, including those associated with obtaining regulatory approvals, as well as additional ongoing expenses, including those associated with infrastructure, staff and regulatory compliance. The Company may not be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition and expansion opportunities, or integrate such operations successfully with the Company's existing operations.

Risks Relating to the Mineral ExplorationIndustry

There are inherent risks in the mineralexploration industry.

We are subject to all of the risks inherent in the minerals exploration industry, including, without limitation, the following:

· we are subject to competition from a large number of companies, most of which are significantly larger<br>than we are, in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties;
· we might not be able raise enough money to pay the fees and taxes and perform the labor necessary to maintain<br>our concessions in good status;
--- ---
· exploration for minerals is highly speculative, involves substantial risks and is frequently un-productive,<br>even when conducted on properties known to contain significant quantities of mineralization, and our exploration at the Beskauga Project<br>may not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore;
--- ---
· our operations are subject to a variety of existing laws and regulations relating to exploration and development,<br>permitting procedures, safety precautions, property reclamation, employee health and safety, air quality standards, pollution and other<br>environmental protection controls, and we may not be able to comply with these regulations and controls; and
--- ---
· a large number of factors beyond our control, including fluctuations in metal prices, inflation, and other<br>economic conditions, will affect the economic feasibility of mining.
--- ---

Metals prices are subject to extremefluctuation.

Our activities are influenced by the prices of commodities, including gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead and other metals. These prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including interest rates, expectations for inflation, speculation, currency values (in particular, the strength of the U.S. dollar), global and regional demand, political and economic conditions and production costs in major metal-producing regions of the world.

| 79 |

| --- |

Our ability to establish reserves through our exploration activities, our future profitability and our long-term viability depend, in large part, on the market prices of gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead and other metals. The market prices for these metals are volatile and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including:

· global or regional consumption patterns;
· supply of, and demand for, gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead and other metals;
--- ---
· speculative activities and producer hedging activities;
--- ---
· expectations for inflation;
--- ---
· political and economic conditions; and
--- ---
· supply of, and demand for, consumables required for production.
--- ---

Future weakness in the global economy could increase volatility in metals prices or depress metals prices, which could in turn reduce the value of our properties, make it more difficult to raise additional capital, and make it uneconomical for us to continue our exploration activities.

Our future operations will require additionalpermits from various governmental authorities.

Our operations are and will continue to be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, mineral exploration, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety, mining royalties and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire all required licenses, permits or property rights on reasonable terms or in a timely manner, or at all, that such terms will not be adversely changed, that required extensions will be granted, or that the issuance of such licenses, permits or property rights will not be challenged by third parties.

Title to our properties may be challengedor defective.

We attempt to confirm the validity of our rights of title to, or contract rights with respect to, each mineral property in which we have a material interest. However, we cannot guarantee that title to our properties will not be challenged. The Beskauga Property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, interests or native land claims, and title may be affected by undetected defects. There may be valid challenges to the title of any of the claims comprising the Beskauga Property that, if successful, could impair possible development and/or operations with respect to such properties in the future. Challenges to permits or property rights (whether successful or unsuccessful), changes to the terms of permits or property rights, or a failure to comply with the terms of any permits or property rights that have been obtained could have a material adverse effect on our business by delaying or preventing or making continued operations economically unfeasible.

A title defect could result in Arras losing all or a portion of its right, title, and interest to and in the properties to which the title defect relates. Title insurance generally is not available, and our ability to ensure that we have obtained secure title to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained. In addition, we may be unable to operate our properties as permitted or to enforce our rights with respect to our properties. As of February 22, 2022, we are not aware of any challenges from the government or from third parties.

We are subject to complex environmentaland other regulatory risks, which could expose us to significant liability and delay and potentially the suspension or termination ofour exploration efforts.

Our mineral exploration activities are subject to federal, state and local environmental regulations in Kazakhstan. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. No assurance can be given that environmental standards imposed by the government of Kazakhstan will not be changed, thereby possibly materially adversely affecting our proposed activities. Compliance with these environmental requirements may also necessitate significant capital outlays or may materially affect our earning power.

| 80 |

| --- |

Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.

Future changes in environmental regulations in Kazakhstan may adversely affect our exploration activities, make them prohibitively expensive, or prohibit them altogether. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties in which we currently hold interests, or may hold interests in the future, that are unknown to us at present and that have been caused by us or previous owners or operators, or that may have occurred naturally. We may be liable for remediating any damage that we may have caused. The liability could include costs for removing or remediating the release and damage to natural resources, including ground water, as well as the payment of fines and penalties.

Our industry is highly competitive, attractivemineral properties and property concessions are scarce, and we may not be able to obtain quality properties or concessions.

We compete with other mining and exploration companies in the acquisition of mineral properties and property concessions. There is competition for a limited number of attractive mineral property acquisition opportunities, some of which is with other companies having substantially greater financial resources, staff and facilities than we do. As a result, we may have difficulty acquiring quality mineral properties or property concessions.

Our operations are subject to varioushazards.

We are subject to risks and hazards, including environmental hazards, possible encounters with unusual or unexpected geological formations, cave-ins, flooding and earthquakes, and periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These occurrences could result in damage to, or the destruction of, mineral properties or future production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in our exploration activities, asset write-downs, monetary losses and possible legal liability. We may not be insured against all losses or liabilities, either because such insurance is unavailable or because we have elected not to purchase such insurance due to high premium costs or other reasons. Although we maintain insurance in an amount that we consider to be adequate, liabilities might exceed policy limits, in which event we could incur significant costs that could adversely affect our activities. The realization of any significant liabilities in connection with our activities as described above could negatively affect our activities.

Social and environmental activism cannegatively impact exploration, development and mining activities

There is an increasing level of public concern relating to the effects of mining on the natural landscape, on communities and on the environment. Certain non-governmental organizations, public interest groups and reporting organizations (“NGOs”) who oppose resource development can be vocal critics of the mining industry. In addition, there have been many instances in which local community groups have opposed resource extraction activities, which have resulted in disruption and delays to the relevant operation. While the Company seeks to operate in a socially responsible manner and believes it has good relationships with local communities in the regions in which it operates, NGOs or local community organizations could direct adverse publicity against and/or disrupt the operations of the Company in respect of one or more of its properties, regardless of its successful compliance with social and environmental best practices, due to political factors, activities of unrelated third parties on lands in which the Company has an interest or the Company’s operations specifically. Any such actions and the resulting media coverage could have an adverse effect on the reputation and financial condition of the Company or its relationships with the communities in which it operates, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

| 81 |

Risks Relating to Foreign Operations

There are inherent risks with foreignoperations.

Our business activities are primarily conducted in Kazakhstan, and as such, our activities are exposed to various levels of foreign political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, terrorism, hostage taking, military repression, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, labor unrest, war or civil unrest, expropriation and nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits, approvals and contracts, illegal mining, changes in taxation policies, restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation, changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favor or require the rewarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Kazakhstan may adversely affect our exploration and possible future development activities. We may also be affected to varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.

The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on our operations. In addition, legislation in Canada or Kazakhstan regulating foreign trade, investment and taxation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We face risks as a result of operatingin Kazakhstan

The Beskauga Project is in Kazakhstan. As is typical of an emerging market, Kazakhstan’s business, legal and regulatory infrastructure has been subject to substantial political, economic and social change. Our business in Kazakhstan is subject to Kazakhstan-specific laws and regulations, including with respect to tax, anti-corruption, and foreign exchange controls. Such laws are often rapidly changing and are unpredictable. Our failure to manage the risks associated with doing business in Kazakhstan could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations.

The Company’s only project is the Beskauga Project, and any adverse development affecting the Beskauga Project, including the Company’s interests, licenses and permits relating thereto, could be expected have a material adverse effect on the Company, its businesses, prospects, assets, results of operations and condition (financial or otherwise).

The Company has obtained permits from the Government of Kazakhstan that enable it to conduct exploration activities. Notwithstanding these arrangements, the Company’s ability to conduct exploration activities is subject to changes in government regulations or shifts in political attitudes over which the Company has no control.

| 82 |

| --- |

There can be no assurance that industries deemed of national or strategic importance to Kazakhstan such as mineral production will not be nationalized. Government policy may change to discourage foreign investment, renationalization of mining industries may occur and other government limitations, restrictions or requirements not currently foreseen may be implemented. There can be no assurance that the Company’s assets in Kazakhstan will not be subject to nationalization, requisition or confiscation, whether legitimate or not, by any authority or body. Similarly the Company’s operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation, mine safety and annual payments to maintain mineral properties in good standing. There can be no assurance that the laws of Kazakhstan protecting foreign investments will not be amended or abolished or that these existing laws will be enforced or interpreted to provide adequate protection against any or all of the risks detailed above. There can be no assurance that any agreements with the government of Kazakhstan will prove to be enforceable or provide adequate protection against any or all of the risks described above.

Existing contracts or licences with respectto the Company’s operations may be subject to selective or arbitrary government action

The Company’s contracts and licences in Kazakhstan may be susceptible to arbitrary revision and termination. Legal redress for such actions may be uncertain, delayed or unavailable. In addition, it is often difficult to determine from governmental records whether statutory and corporate actions have been properly completed by the parties or applicable regulatory agencies. In some cases, failure to follow the actions may call into question the validity of the entity or the action taken. Examples include corporate registration or amendments, capital contributions, transfers of assets or issuances or transfers of capital stock. Ensuring the Company’s ongoing rights to mineral properties will require a careful monitoring of performance of its contracts and other licences and monitoring the evolution of the laws and practices of Kazakhstan. Failure to comply with the terms of the necessary licences or contracts or show compliance against official records may result in their revocation which may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

Changes in the political environmentin Kazakhstan could have a material impact on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition

Since Kazakhstan declared its independence in 1991 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan has had political stability as an independent nation. Yet, there is potential for social, political, economic, legal and fiscal instability. The Company cannot predict the possibility of any future changes in the political environment in Kazakhstan that would have an impact on Kazakh laws and regulations, their interpretation or enforcement, or the effect of such changes on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. The risks include, among other things:

· local currency devaluation;
· exchange controls or availability of hard currency;
--- ---
· changes in export and transportation regulations relating to metals;
--- ---
· changes in national fiscal regulations;
--- ---
· changes in anti-monopoly legislation or its exercise;
--- ---
· nationalization or expropriation of property; and
--- ---
· interruption or blockage of the export of metals.
--- ---

There can be no assurance that changes in the political environment will not affect governmental regulation and policy.

| 83 |

The Company relies on international advisorsand consultants

The legal and regulatory requirements in Kazakhstan with respect to conducting mineral exploration and mining activities, banking system and controls, as well as local business culture and practices are different from those in Canada and the United States. The officers and directors of the Company must rely, to a great extent, on the Company’s local legal counsel and local consultants retained by the Company in order to keep abreast of material legal, regulatory and governmental developments as they pertain to and affect the Company’s business operations, and to assist the Company with its governmental relations. The Company must rely, to some extent, on those members of management and the Board who have previous experience working and conducting business in Kazakhstan in order to enhance its understanding of and appreciation for the local business culture and practices. The Company also relies on the advice of local experts and professionals in connection with current and new regulations that develop in respect of banking, financing, labor, litigation and tax matters in this jurisdiction. Any developments or changes in such legal, regulatory or governmental requirements or in local business practices are beyond the control of the Company. The impact of any such changes may adversely affect the business of the Company.

Our operations may be affected by thearmed conflict between Ukraine and Russia

In early 2014, an armed conflict developed in Ukraine with Russia, which transitioned to a long stalemate, with regular skirmishes occurring along the Russian- and Ukrainian-controlled border regions. On February 24, 2022, Russia began a full-scale military invasion into Ukraine, a conflict which is escalating as of the current date.  Kazakhstan, the country in which the Company’s material property sits, shares a border with Russia, but not Ukraine.  Currently, the Company’s ability to operate and conduct exploration activities, has not been impacted.  However, Russia and Russian companies are major suppliers to Kazakhstan and the Ukrainian conflict, and related sanctions imposed on Russia, could result in a disruption to the supply chain into Kazakhstan, including access to fuel and electricity.

Risks Relating to the Spin Out:

We share certain key officers and directorswith Silver Bull, which means that those officers do not devote their full time and attention to our affairs, and the overlap may giverise to conflicts of interest.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Timothy Barry, also serves as Chief Executive Officer of Silver Bull, our President, Darren Klinck, also serves as President of Silver Bull, and our Chief Financial Officer, Christopher Richards, also serves as Chief Financial Officer of Silver Bull. As a result, our executive officers do not devote their full time and attention to the Company’s affairs. There may be circumstances in which our executive officers are compelled to spend a significant portion of their time and attention to Silver Bull’s affairs, which may mean that they are unable to devote sufficient time to the Company’s affairs. Furthermore, our Chairman, Brian Edgar, also serves as Chairman of Silver Bull, and three members of our Board (including Timothy Barry and Brian Edgar) are also directors of Silver Bull. The overlapping officers and directors may have actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting each company. For example, conflicts may arise if there are issues or disputes under commercial arrangements that may exist between Silver Bull and us, including with respect to allocation of costs for salaries of overlapping officers and common office-related overhead expenditures. Any failure of the directors or officers of the Company to address these conflicts in an appropriate manner or to allocate opportunities that they become aware of to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

Our historical financial informationthrough September 24, 2021 is not necessarily representative of the results we would have achieved as a stand-alone company and may notbe a reliable indicator of our future results.

Our historical financial statements through September 24, 2021 have been derived (carved out) from the Silver Bull consolidated financial statements and accounting records. This derived information does not necessarily reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows we would have achieved as a stand-alone company during the period presented, or those that we will achieve in the future.

This is primarily because of the following factors:

· For the period through September 24, 2021, our business was operated as a subsidiary of Silver Bull.
· Our financial statements include an allocation from Silver Bull of certain corporate-related general and<br>administrative expenses that we would incur as a stand-alone company that we have not previously incurred. The allocation of these additional<br>expenses, which are included in the financial statements, may not be indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred had<br>we operated as a stand-alone company for the period presented therein.
--- ---
· In connection with the Spin Out, we incurred one-time costs of approximately $0.3 million during the period<br>from inception on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021.

Therefore, our historical financial information may not necessarily be indicative of our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and the occurrence of any of the risks discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, or any other event, could cause our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows to materially differ from our historical financial information. Moreover, because the Company was formed in February 2021, we only have presented historical financial statements from that date through October 31, 2021. This brief period of time may not be indicative of the actual future financial performance of the Company.

Risks Relating to the Common Shares:

Investors may lose their entire investment

An investment in the Common Shares is speculative and may result in the loss of an investor’s entire investment. Only potential investors who are experienced in high risk investments and who can afford to lose their entire investment should consider an investment in the Company. The Company has no history of earnings, limited cash reserves, a limited operating history, has not paid dividends, and is unlikely to pay dividends in the immediate or near future. The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of any business.

There is no existing public market forthe Common Shares

It is proposed that the Common Shares will be listed on the TSXV; however, there can be no assurance that such listing will be obtained and even if obtained, that an active and liquid market for the Common Shares will develop or be maintained and an investor may find it difficult to resell any securities of the Company. If a market does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for investors to sell the Common Shares at an attractive price or at all. The Company cannot predict the prices at which the Common Shares will trade.

| --- |

Further equity financings may lead tothe dilution of our common stock.

In order to finance future operations, we may raise funds through the issuance of Common Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Common Shares. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of Common Shares or the size and terms of future issuances of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Common Shares or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our securities will have on the market price of our Common Shares. Any transaction involving the issuance of previously authorized but unissued shares, or securities convertible into Common Shares, would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to present and prospective security holders. Demand for equity securities in the mining industry has been weak; therefore, equity financing may not be available on attractive terms and, if available, will likely result in significant dilution to existing shareholders.

TSXV Listing

If the Company fails to list the Common Shares on the TSXV, the liquidity for its Common Shares would be significantly impaired, which may substantially decrease the value of the Common Shares.

In addition, in the future, the Company’s Common Shares may fail to meet the continued listing requirements to be listed on the TSXV. If the TSXV delists the Common Shares from trading on its exchange, the Company could face material adverse consequences, including: a limited availability of market quotations for the Common Shares; a determination the Common Shares are a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the Common Shares to more stringent rules and possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Common Shares; a limited amount of news and analysts coverage for the Company; and a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

We may lose our “foreign privateissuer” status in the future, which could result in additional costs and expenses to us.

We are a “foreign private issuer,” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and are not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We may in the future lose foreign private issuer status if a majority of our Common Shares are held in the United States and we fail to meet the additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status, such as if (i) a majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) a majority of our assets are located in the United States; or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer will be significantly more than the costs incurred as a Canadian foreign private issuer. If we are not a foreign private issuer, we may be required to file periodic and current reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are generally more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. In addition, we may lose the ability to rely upon exemptions from corporate governance requirements that are available to foreign private issuers. Further, if we engage in capital raising activities after losing foreign private issuer status, there is a higher likelihood that investors may require us to file resale registration statements with the SEC as a condition to any such financing.

Risks associated with evolving corporategovernance and public disclosure regulations

The Company is subject to changing rules and regulations promulgated by the United States and Canadian governmental and self-regulated organizations, including the SEC, the CSA, any exchange or marketplace on which Arras’ securities are listed or trade, and the Financial Accounting Standards Board. These rules and regulations continue to evolve in scope and complexity making compliance more difficult and uncertain. The Company’s efforts to comply with these and other new and existing rules and regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

| 86 |

| --- |

No dividends are anticipated.

At the present time, we do not anticipate paying dividends, cash or otherwise, on our Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Future dividends will depend on our earnings, if any, our financial requirements and other factors. There can be no assurance that we will pay dividends.

Equity securities are subject to tradingand volatility risks.

The trading price of our Common Shares may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to announcements of our business developments, results and progress of our exploration activities at the Beskauga Project, progress reports on our exploration activities, and other events or factors. In addition, stock markets have experienced significant price volatility in recent months and years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the share prices of companies, at times for reasons unrelated to their operating performance. These fluctuations could be in response to:

· volatility in metal prices;
· political developments in the Kazakhstan;
--- ---
· news reports relating to trends in our industry or general economic conditions; and
--- ---
· these broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our Common Shares, regardless<br>of our operating performance.
--- ---

We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our Common Shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common stock will achieve or remain at levels at or near its offering price, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of Common Shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

The Company may be a passive foreigninvestment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Company may be, or could become, a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which could result in certain potentially adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to certain U.S. taxpayers with respect to such taxpayer’s ownership and disposition of our Common Shares.

Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Actions

To the Company’s knowledge, there are no legal proceedings or regulatory actions material to the Company to which it is a party, or has been a party to, or of which any of its property is the subject matter of, or was the subject matter of, since the Company was incorporated, and no such proceedings or actions are known by the Company to be contemplated.

There have been no penalties or sanctions imposed against the Company by a court or regulatory authority, and the Company has not entered into any settlement agreements before any court relating to provincial or territorial securities legislation or with any securities regulatory authority, since its incorporation..

Interests of Management and Others in Material Transactions

No director, executive officer or shareholder that beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the issued Common Shares, or any of their respective associates or affiliates, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction within the three-years before the date of this Prospectus which has materially affected or is reasonably expected to materially affect the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTINGFIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND DIRECTORS OF ARRAS MINERALS CORP.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Arras Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2021, and the related statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from inception on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from inception on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 of the financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss during the period from inception on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021 and has not yet commenced revenue producing operations. As stated in Note 1 to the financial statements, these conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that casts substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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 audit. 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 the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

F-2

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Going Concern Assessment

As described in Note 1 of the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. As at October 31, 2021, the Company has not earned any cash inflows from operations and expects to incur additional losses in the future. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its exploration plans and ultimately to attain profitable operations.

We identified the assessment of going concern as a critical audit matter. Auditing management’s going concern assessment is challenging as it involves subjective assumptions about the ability to raise future financing and future cash outflows relating to planned exploration activities and other ongoing operating and administrative expenditures that are inherently uncertain.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the appropriateness of the inputs and key assumptions used in the cash flow forecasts, specifically the assumption of cash flows related to exploration activities, taking into consideration the Company’s commitments under option agreements. In addition, we assessed management’s plan and ability to raise future financing by observing past financing ability and through discussion with management. We also assessed the accuracy and completeness of the disclosures around the going concern uncertainty in Note 1 of the financial statements.

ArrasMinerals Corp.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Period from Inception (February 5, 2021) to October 31, 2021

(Expressed in United States dollars)


1. NATUREOF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Arras Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 5, 2021 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) as part of an asset purchase agreement to reorganize Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (“Silver Bull”) as described in Note 3. The Company’s head office is located at 1610-777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, BC, V7Y 1K4, Canada.

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral property interests. The Company’s assets consist primarily of the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Beskauga property (“Beskauga”) in Kazakhstan, and loans made to Ekidos Minerals LLP (“Ekidos”), who holds exploration licenses for properties located in Kazakhstan.

The Company has not yet determined whether the properties contain mineral reserves where extraction is both technically feasible and commercially viable. The business of mining and the exploration for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that such activities will result in profitable mining operations.

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplated that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred operating losses to date and has no current sources of revenue or cash inflows from operations. The Company relies on share issuances in order to fund its exploration and other business objectives. Since inception to October 31, 2021, the Company has raised Canadian dollar (“$CDN”) $8.8 million (United States dollars of $7 million) through the issuance of common shares, and as at October 31, 2021 has cash of $3.8 million which, based on current forecasts, is sufficient to fund the Company’s required expenditures under the commitments of the option agreement for Beskauga and general corporate activities.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and fulfill its commitments under the Beskauga option agreement is dependent upon successful execution of its business plan, raising additional capital or evaluating strategic alternatives. The Company expects to continue to raise the necessary funds primarily through the issuance of common shares. There can be no guarantees that future equity financing will be available in which case the Company may need to reduce its exploration activities. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

On March 11, 2020, the novel coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. While, other than travel restriction to the Company’s exploration projects, the Company has not been significantly impacted by COVID-19, the situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy and the Company’s business are not known at this time. These impacts could include an impact on the Company’s ability to obtain equity financing to fund additional exploration activities as well as the Company’s ability to explore and conduct business.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) appliable to the preparation of financial statements*.*

b) Basis<br> of presentation

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

c) Approval<br> of the financial statements

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 16, 2022.

3. ASSET PURCHASE AND SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

On March 19, 2021, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement with Silver Bull, a majority shareholder (88% interest) and related party, Silver Bull transferred all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Beskauga Option Agreement, as described in Note 6, to the Company. The consideration payable by the Company to Silver Bull was $1,367,668, paid through the issuance of 36,000,000 common shares of the Company.

The fair value of the assets at the date of transfer was as follows:

Mineral properties $ 327,690
Mining equipment 45,647
Computer equipment and software 9,331
Loans to Ekidos Minerals LLP (“Ekidos”) 985,000
Net assets acquired $ 1,367,668

On September 24, 2021, pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Silver Bull distributed to its shareholders one common share of the Company for each Silver Bull common share held by such shareholders, or 34,547,838 common shares of the Company in total (the “Distribution”). Upon completion of the Distribution, Silver Bull retained 1,452,162 common shares of the Company, representing a 4% interest in the Company on the Distribution date. Further, Silver Bull warrant holders will receive, upon exercise of any Silver Bull warrant (the “Silver Bull Warrants”), for the original exercise price, one Silver Bull common share and one common share of the Company. The Company will receive $0.25 of the proceeds from the exercise of each of these Silver Bull Warrants. A total of 1,971,289 Silver Bull Warrants were outstanding at the time of the Distribution which, if all exercised, would require the Company to issue 1,971,289 common shares for proceeds of $492,822.

At the date of the Distribution, the assets transferred did not meet the definition of a business, as there were no substantive processes in place, and the transaction has been accounted for as an acquisition of assets, rather than a business combination. The transaction is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 – Share-based payments and IFRS 3 Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”).

4. USE<br> OF JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Measurement of the Company’s assets and liabilities is subject to risks and uncertainties, including ones related to: reserve and resource estimates; title to mineral properties; future commodity prices; estimated costs of future production; future costs of restoration provisions; changes in government legislation and regulations; estimated future income tax amounts; the availability of financing; and various operational factors.

Judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company`s financial statements are as follows:

a) Determination<br> of functional currency

The determination of the Company’s functional currency is a matter of judgment based on an assessment of the specific facts and circumstances relevant to determining the primary economic environment of the Company. The Company reconsiders the functional currencies used when there is a change in events and conditions considered in determining the primary economic environment of the Company.

b) Going<br> concern

The assessment of whether the going concern assumption is appropriate requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period. The Company is aware that material uncertainties exist related to events or conditions that may cast substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

c) Asset<br> acquisitions versus business combinations

Management had to apply judgment with respect to whether the acquisitions through the asset purchase agreement (as discussed in Note 6) were asset acquisitions or business combinations. The assessments required management to assess the inputs, processes and outputs of the companies acquired at the time of the acquisition. Pursuant to the assessment, the asset purchase agreement was considered to be an asset acquisition.

Estimates that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company`s financial statements are as follows:

d) Valuation<br> of mineral properties

The Company carries the acquisition costs of its mineral properties at cost less any provision for impairment. The Company undertakes periodic reviews of the carrying values of mineral properties and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may exceed their fair value. In undertaking these reviews, management of the Company is required to make significant estimates. These estimates are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which may ultimately have an effect on the expected recoverability of the carrying values of the mineral properties and related expenditures.

e) Share-based<br> payment

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the valuation of share-based payment. Option pricing models require the input of the subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s net loss and share-based payment reserve. Measurement of the Company’s obligation to issue shares upon exercise of Silver Bull Warrants is based on an instinct value pricing model which uses assumptions with respect to share price. Changes in these assumptions and estimates result in changes in the fair value of these instruments and a corresponding change in the amount recognized in profit or loss or in equity.

(Expressed in United States dollars)

f) Fair<br> value of net assets acquired

The Company makes estimates in determining the fair value of the assets acquired as part of an acquisition. Management exercises judgment in estimating the probability and timing of when cash flows are expected to be achieved, which is used as the basis for estimating fair value. Future performance results that differ from management’s estimates could result in changes to liabilities recorded, which are recorded as they arise through profit or loss.

g) Recoverability<br> of loans to Ekidos Minerals LLP

Estimates are inherent in the on-going assessment of the recoverability of its loans to Ekidos Minerals LLP. The Company is not able to predict changes in financial conditions of its loan holders and the Company’s judgment related to the recoverability of its loans receivable may be material.

5. SIGNIFICANT<br> ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in these financial statements.

a) Foreign currency translation

These financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“USD”) which is the functional currency of the Company.

Statement of financial position: monetary assets and liabilities are translated into USD using period end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated into USD using historical exchange rates.

Statement of comprehensive loss: income, expenses, and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions).

Statement of changes in shareholders’ equity: all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity and in other comprehensive loss.

b) Financial instruments

Recognitionand measurement of financial assets

The Company recognizes a financial asset when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Classificationof financial assets

The Company classifies financial assets at initial recognition as financial assets: measured at amortized cost, measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or measured at fair value through profit or loss.

i. Financial<br> assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset that meets both of the following conditions is classified as a financial asset measured at amortized cost:

●         The Company’s business model for such financial assets is to hold the assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.

●         The contractual terms of the financial asset gives rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the amount outstanding.

A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the asset. After initial recognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset measured at amortized cost is determined using the effective interest method, net of impairment loss, if necessary. The Company classifies its loans to Ekidos and due from related party as amortized cost.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Period from Inception (February 5, 2021) to October 31, 2021

(Expressed in United States dollars)

ii. Financial<br> assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)

A financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized initially at fair value plus transaction cost directly attributable to the asset. After initial recognition, the asset is measured at fair value with changes in fair value included as “financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income” in other comprehensive income.

iii. Financial<br> assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)

A financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognized initially at fair value with any associated transaction costs being recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Subsequently, the financial asset is re-measured at fair value, and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss in the reporting period in which it arises. The Company classifies its cash as fair value through profit or loss.

Derecognitionof financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset if the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. Any interests in transferred financial assets that are created or retained by the Company are recognized as a separate asset or liability. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Recognitionand measurement of financial liabilities

The Company recognizes financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Classificationof Financial Liabilities

The Company classifies financial liabilities at initial recognition as financial liabilities: measured at amortized cost or measured at fair value through profit or loss.

i. Financial<br> liabilities measured at amortized cost

A financial liability at amortized cost is initially measured at fair value less transaction cost directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. Subsequently, the financial liability is measured at amortized cost based on the effective interest rate method. The Company classifies its accounts payable and accrued liabilities as amortized cost.

ii. Financial<br> liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

A financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss is initially measured at fair value with any associated transaction costs being recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Subsequently, the financial liability is re-measured at fair value, and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss in the reporting period in which it arises.

Derecognitionof financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when the financial liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

Offsettingfinancial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the statement of financial position only when the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired when there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described above.

(Expressed in United States dollars)

c) Fair value hierarchy

Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significant of inputs used in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s financial instruments classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy are cash, loans to Ekidos, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due from related party. The carrying values approximate the fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the period ended October 31, 2021.

d) Mineral properties

Costs directly related to the acquisition of mineral properties are capitalized. Option payments are considered acquisition costs if the Company has the intention of exercising the underlying option.

Exploration, evaluation and property maintenance costs incurred on sites without an existing mine and on areas outside the boundary of a known mineral deposit which contains proven and probable reserves are expensed as incurred up to the date of establishing that property costs are economically recoverable and that the project is technically feasible.

Mineral properties are not subject to depletion or amortization, but rather are tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Development expenditures are those incurred subsequent to the establishment of economic recoverability and after receipt of project development approval from the Board of Directors. The approval from the Board of Directors will be dependent upon the Company obtaining sufficient financial resources, permits, and licenses to develop the mineral property. Development costs are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the related property.

Mineral property and mine development costs capitalized are amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserves.

e) Office and equipment

Items of office and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all expenditures incurred to bring assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be operated in the manner intended by management, including estimated decommissioning and restoration costs and, where applicable, borrowing costs. If significant parts of an item of office and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of office and equipment.

F-13

ArrasMinerals Corp.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Period from Inception (February 5, 2021) to October 31, 2021

(Expressed in United States dollars)

No depreciation is recorded until the asset is substantially complete and ready for use. Office and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Mining<br> equipment Straight-line over five years
Computer<br> equipment and software Straight-line over one year
f) Impairment of non-financial assets
--- ---

The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets, including mineral properties and office and equipment every reporting period. If there is any indication that the assets or Cash-Generating Units (the “CGU”) may not be fully recoverable, the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflow from other assets or group of assets.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows to be derived from continuing use of the asset or CGU are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Fair value less cost to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset or CGU in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the cost of disposal. When a binding sale agreement is not available, fair value less costs to sell is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with inputs and assumptions consistent with those at market. If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized.

g) Restoration provisions

The Company recognizes liabilities for legal, contractual and constructive obligations for decommissioning and restoration when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the asset. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expected expenditures required to settle the obligation using a discount rate reflecting the time value of money and risks specific to the liability. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the corresponding decommissioning and restoration cost is capitalized to the carrying amount of the related asset and amortized as an expense over the useful life of the related asset. Following the initial recognition of the restoration provision, the carrying amount of the liability is increased for the passage of time and adjusted for changes to the current market-based discounted rate and the amount or timing of cash flows needed to settle the obligation.

h) Other provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources that can be reliably estimated will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.

i) Income taxes

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Period from Inception (February 5, 2021) to October 31, 2021

(Expressed in United States dollars)

Deferred income tax is provided for based on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. The change in the net deferred income tax asset or liability is included in net income (loss) except for deferred income tax relating to equity items, which are recognized directly in equity. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the substantively enacted statutory income tax rates which are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current tax assets against liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

The determination of current and deferred taxes requires interpretation of tax legislation, estimates of expected timing of reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and estimates of future earnings.

j) Share-based payment

The Company’s stock option plan (Note 9) allows the Company’s employees, directors, officers and service providers to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as share-based payment expense with a corresponding increase in reserves. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee. Where stock options are subject to vesting, each vesting tranche is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Share-based payment expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period by a charge to profit or loss. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that are expected to vest. In situations where equity instruments are issued to service providers and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at the fair value of the share-based payment. Otherwise, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received.

k) Share capital

Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial asset or financial liability. The Company’s common shares and warrants are classified as equity instruments. Share issuance costs are recorded against share proceeds.

l) Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common shares at the average market price during the reporting periods.

m) Non-monetary transactions

Shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued at the fair value of assets received or services rendered. If the fair value of assets received or services rendered cannot be reliably measured, shares issued for consideration will be valued at the quoted market price at the date of issuance.

n) New standards not yet adopted

The following standards and pronouncements have been issued by the IASB and have not yet been adopted by the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new and amended standards are expected to have on its financial statements. Pronouncements that are not applicable to the Company have been excluded from those described below.

Property, Plant and Equipment—Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16)

These amendments will prohibit the Company from deducting net proceeds from selling any items produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management. The amendments require retrospective application and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted.

6. BESKAUGA OPTION AGREEMENT

On August 12, 2020, Silver Bull entered into the Beskauga Option Agreement with Copperbelt AG (“Copperbelt”) pursuant to which it has the exclusive right and option to acquire Copperbelt’s right, title and 100% interest in the Beskauga property located in Kazakhstan. Upon completion of Silver Bull’s due diligence on January 26, 2021, the Beskauga Option Agreement was finalized (the “Closing Date”).

On March 19, 2021, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, Silver Bull transferred all its rights, title and interest in and to the Beskauga Option Agreement to the Company.

As of October 31, 2021, approximately $2,118,000 of the required expenditures have been incurred under the Beskauga Option Agreement, via the loans made to Ekidos. At October 31, 2021, Ekidos was an unrelated third-party Kazakh entity, which was incorporated by Copperbelt to hold the Beskauga property interests. The funds advanced will be used for the acquisition of mineral property concessions in Kazakhstan and expenditures incurred in relation to the Beskauga Option Agreement. The Company may acquire Ekidos, and upon completion of the acquisition, all amounts loaned to Ekidos would eliminate upon consolidation and the expenditures funded via these loans would be included in the consideration calculation of the transaction.

The Beskauga Option Agreement also provides that subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Beskauga Option Agreement, after the Company or its affiliate has incurred the exploration expenditures (outlined above), the Company or its affiliate may exercise the Beskauga Option and acquire (i) the Beskauga Property by paying Copperbelt $15,000,000 in cash, (ii) the Beskauga Main Project only by paying Copperbelt $13,500,000 in cash, or (iii) the Beskauga South Project only by paying Copperbelt $1,500,000 in cash.

In addition, the Beskauga Option Agreement provides that subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Beskauga Option Agreement, the Company or its affiliate may be obligated to make the following bonus payments (collectively, the “Bonus Payments”) to Copperbelt if the Beskauga Main Project or the Beskauga South Project is the subject of a bankable feasibility study in compliance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 indicating gold equivalent resources in the amounts set forth below, with (i) (A) 20% of the Bonus Payments payable after completion of the bankable feasibility study or after the mineral resource statement is finally determined and (B) the remaining 80% of the Bonus Payments due within 15 business days of commencement of on-site construction of a mine for the Beskauga Main Project or the Beskauga South Project, as applicable, and (ii) up to 50% of the Bonus Payments payable in shares of the Company’s common shares to be valued at the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price of the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange calculated as of the date immediately preceding the date such shares are issued:

The total fair value of options granted during the period from inception on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021 was $1,125,565, of which $638,551 was recognized share-based payment in the statement of comprehensive loss with a corresponding increase in reserves. The remaining amount of $497,426 will be expensed as the remaining unvested options vest.

The Company applies the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in accounting for its stock options granted. Accordingly, share-based payments of $307,742 were recognized as personnel expenses for options granted to employees, $225,676 were recognized in directors’ fees for options granted to directors and $105,133 was recognized as exploration for options granted to employees and consultants.

A summary of the range of assumptions used to value stock options granted for the period from inception on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021 is as follows:

Options For the Period from Inception on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021
Expected volatility 75% - 79%
Risk-free interest rate 0.46% - 1.03%
Dividend yield
Expected term (in years) 3 – 5

The expected volatility assumption is based on the historical and implied volatility of the comparable companies’ common share price. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on yield curves on government zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term equal to the stock options’ expected life. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock. Companies are required to utilize an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the expense for the reporting period. Based on the best estimate, management applied the estimated forfeiture rate of 0% in determining the expense recorded in the accompanying statements of comprehensive loss.

d) Shares<br> issuable for Silver Bull Warrants

Pursuant to the Distribution (Note 3), warrant holders will receive, upon exercise of any Silver Bull Warrant, one Silver Bull common share and one common share of the Company. The Company will receive $0.25 of the proceeds from the exercise of each of these warrants.

14. FINANCIAL<br> INSTRUMENTS
--- ---

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, loans to Ekidos, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due from related party. The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below.

a) Credit<br> risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its payment obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to its cash and loans to Ekidos. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to cash is remote as it maintains accounts with highly rated financial institutions. The Company’s loans to Ekidos are subject to the expected credit loss model. The carrying amount of the loans to Ekidos represent the maximum credit exposure.

b) Liquidity<br> risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating investing and financing activities. As at October 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $6,493,934. All of the Company’s liabilities are due within 90 days of October 31, 2021.

c) Market<br> risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk. The Company is not currently exposed to any significant interest rate risk or other price risk. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk with respect to cash denominated in Canadian dollars. As at October 31, 2021, a 15% strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar would have increased (decreased) the Company’s comprehensive loss by approximately $563,000 for the period from inception on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021.

15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company defines its capital as shareholders’ equity. Capital requirements are driven by the Company’s general operations and exploration. To effectively manage the Company’s capital requirements, the Company monitors expenses and overhead to ensure costs and commitments are being paid. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. The Company did not change its approach to capital management during the period from inception on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021.

16. SEGMENTED<br> INFORMATION

The Company’s exploration and evaluation activities are located in Kazakhstan, with its head office function in Canada. As at October 31, 2021, all of the Company’s non-current assets are located in Kazakhstan.

17. SUBSEQUENT<br> EVENTS

The Company entered into (i) a loan agreement with Ekidos dated November 21, 2021, whereby the Company loaned to Ekidos $490,000, (ii) a loan agreement with Ekidos dated December 8, 2021, in the amount of $490,000, (iii) the loan agreement with Ekidos dated December 22, 2021, in the amount of $490,000, and (vi) the loan agreement with Ekidos dated December 29, 2021, in the amount of $490,000. These loans are interest free and repayable on March 31, 2022.

(the “Company” or “Arras”) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the period from February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021.

Management is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the financial statements, including the maintenance of appropriate information systems, procedures and internal controls to ensure that information used internally or disclosed externally, including the MD&A, is complete and reliable.

All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. Additional information is available on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval at www.sedar.com.

General Business Overview


Arras Minerals Corp. was incorporated on February 5, 2021, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (“SVB” or “Silver Bull”). Arras was formed to hold SVB’s interests in the Beskauga property located in Kazakhstan (the “Beskauga Property”), which consists of the Beskauga Main project (the “Beskauga Main Project”) and the Beskauga South project (the “Beskauga South Project” and together with the Beskauga Main Project, the “BeskaugaProject”). On September 24, 2021, SVB completed the Spin Out (as defined below) and shareholders of SVB were issued a total of 34,547,838 common shares in the capital of the Company (each a “Common Share”). The Company’s head office is located at Suite 1610, 777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7Y 1K4 and its registered and records office is located at Suite 2600, 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7X 1L3.

On March 19, 2021, SVB transferred its Kazakh assets to the Company pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) in exchange for the issuance of 36,000,000 Common Shares of the Company to SVB (the “Asset Transfer”). The transferred assets included an option agreement with respect to the Beskauga Property (the “Beskauga Option Agreement”), a joint venture agreement with respect to the Stepnoe and Ekidos properties and loans payable by Ekidos Minerals LLP (“Ekidos LLP”) to SVB. Subsequently, on September 24, 2021, SVB distributed 34,547,838 Common Shares issued to SVB in respect of the Asset Transfer to its shareholders by way of a special dividend, on the basis of one Common Share for each common share in the capital of SVB (the “Distribution” and, together with the Asset Transfer, the “Spin Out”). Prior to completion of the Spin Out, the Company entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) with Silver Bull. The Separation and Distribution Agreement set forth the Company’s agreements with Silver Bull regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Distribution and the Spin Out.

DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS

Beskauga Project

The Beskauga Project is located in the Pavlodar region of north-eastern Kazakhstan, approximately 300 km northeast from the Kazakhstan capital, Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana). The Beskauga Project is interpreted by Arras to represent a copper-gold porphyry deposit and consists of three licenses: the Beskauga license which was issued under the older Kazak permitting system, and the Ekidos and Stepnoe licenses which were issued under the new Kazak mining code in October 2020. The Beskauga license is held by Dostyk LLP, a Kazakh entity 100% owned by Copperbelt AG (“Copperbelt”), a private mineral exploration company registered in Switzerland with which Arras has the Beskauga Option Agreement. Pursuant to the Beskauga Option Agreement, Arras has the exclusive right and option (the “Beskauga Option”) to acquire Copperbelt’s right, title and 100% interest in the Beskauga property. The Ekidos and Stepnoe licenses are held by Ekidos LLP, which is 100% controlled by Arras.

ARRAS MINERALS CORP.

Management Discussion and Analysis

From the date of incorporation on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021

(Expressed in United States Dollars, except as noted)

On May 20, 2021, Ekidos LLP entered into the Maikain Joint Venture Agreement (the “Maikain JV Agreement”) with Orogen LLP, a company incorporated under the laws of Kazakhstan, in connection with, among other things, mineral license applications for, and further exploration and evaluation of, certain properties in an area of interest, including the Akkuduk, Nogurbek, Maisor and Elemes properties located in Kazakhstan. The exploration license for the Akkuduk property was granted on February 2, 2021. The exploration license for the Nogurbek property was granted on August 20, 2021. The exploration license for the Maisor property was granted on October 22, 2021. The exploration license for the Elemes property was granted on January 14, 2022.

Arras commenced an exploration program in the second calendar quarter of 2021 on the Beskauga Property. This involved a geological mapping and a sampling program of key select areas, as well as a diamond drilling program targeting extensions to the known mineralization. The exploration program’s design was determined based on historical geological information in the area and an airborne geophysics program that was completed in April 2021.

Final geophysical products for the airborne magnetic survey were received in July 2021 and confirmed a 300m x 300m “bulls-eye” magnetic high that had been previously identified with a ground magnetic survey completed in 2012. A lower magnetic response surrounds the bulls-eye magnetic high which is interpreted to be an alteration halo around an intrusion. The Beskauga deposit sits on the eastern margin of the interpreted intrusion and the alteration halo. Only 30% of this margin has been tested with drilling.

The Company’s planned exploration program to December 31, 2022 will look to upgrade the existing resource as well as test the wider area that has not yet been drilled. Specifically, the program contemplates the inclusion of:

· a 30,000-meter exploration drill program in the immediate area to fully test the entire mineralizing system<br>at Beskauga;
· collection of multi-element litho-geochemical data and hyperspectral data from a selection of historical<br>pulps and drill core and, on this basis, design of routine analytical protocol for all additional drilling;
--- ---
· relogging of select drill core, including detailed alteration and vein-type and density logging, and development<br>of a standard operating procedure for logging to optimize data collection and understanding in a porphyry-epithermal system;
--- ---
· review and re-processing of induced polarization and magnetic data collected by Copperbelt;
--- ---
· a comprehensive density testing program to confirm the density value used in the Beskauga Property Mineral<br>Resource estimate;
--- ---
· completion of additional infill drilling to improve definition of the geology and mineralization and to<br>support improved classification of additional Mineral Resources to the Measured or Indicated classification;

Management Discussion and Analysis

From the date of incorporation on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021

(Expressed in United States Dollars, except as noted)

· integration of geological, structural, alteration, and litho-geochemical and hyperspectral studies to<br>support an improved understanding of deposit architecture, an improved three-dimensional (3D) geological model, and an initial geometallurgical<br>domain model to guide additional metallurgical sampling;
· additional metallurgical test work on both the copper and gold mineralization to confirm recovery and<br>comminution parameters and deleterious element mitigation, with sample selection based on geometallurgical domains;
--- ---
· follow up on regional targets with geophysics and prospect drilling;
--- ---
· detail power and water sources requirements, and begin all permitting processes; and
--- ---
· addressing any other gaps to be filled to advance the project towards a Mineral Resource update and preliminary<br>feasibility study.
--- ---

These items are expected to be carried out concurrently as a single phase of work, subject to obtaining sufficient financing.

On December 20, 2021, the Company completed the third and final tranche of a private placement for 1,520,000 Common Shares at a price of $CDN 1.00 per Common Share for gross proceeds of $CDN 1,520,000 ($1,186,388).

On February 3, 2022, Ekidos LLP became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The net working capital of the Company at October 31, 2021 was $6,493,934. For the period ended October 31, 2021, the Company used $1,060,805 in cash for operating activities. The Company’s cash flows from operations are negative as it is an exploration stage company. For the period ended October 31, 2021, the Company used $2,265,355 in cash from investing activities, which included $2,193,500 for loans made to Ekidos LLP and $71,855 cash for the purchase of equipment. The Company’s primary investing activities pertain to loans provided to Arras’ wholly owned subsidiary Ekidos LLP to fund the required expenditures under the Beskauga Option Agreement. For the period ended October 31, 2021, the Company had net cash provided by financing activities of $7,085,877, which was from private placements in April and October of 2021. Upon Listing, Arras expects to spend $1.07 million in corporate administration and overhead costs and $1.50 million is exploration costs. Arras anticipates that its existing working capital will be sufficient to finance these expenditures.

Liquidity Outlook

At present, the Company’s operations do not generate cash inflows and its financial success is dependent on management’s ability to discover economically viable mineral deposits and raise cash through financings. The mineral exploration process can take many years and is subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control.

In order to finance the Company’s operations, future exploration programs, make payments and undertake expenditures to maintain the effectiveness of the Beskauga Option and to cover administrative and overhead expenses, the Company will need to raise funds through equity sales, from the exercise of convertible securities, debt, deferral of payments to related parties, or other forms of raising capital. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the resources market, the climate for mineral exploration investment, the Company’s track record, and the experience and caliber of its management. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of exploration activities. Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the short and long term but recognizes that there will be risks involved which may be beyond its control.

Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As at October 31, 2021, the Company has not yet achieved profitable operations. This condition indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon obtaining necessary financing to meet the Company’s commitments as they come due and to finance the Company’s operations, future exploration programs, make payments and undertake expenditures to maintain the effectiveness of the Beskauga Option and to cover administrative and overhead expenses. Failure to continue as a going concern would require that assets and liabilities be recorded at their liquidation values, which might differ significantly from their carrying values. The annual financial statements of the Company from the date of incorporation to October 31, 2021 do not include adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.

OFF- BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements as at October 31, 2021 or at the date of this MD&A.

PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has no proposed transactions that have not been disclosed herein as at October 31, 2021 or at the date of this MD&A.

Financial InstRuments and Capital Risk Management

The Company provides information about its financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payables and accrued liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values due to the term of these instruments.

As at October 31, 2021, the fair value of cash held by the Company was based on level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is its cash and cash equivalents of $3,806,291 at October 31, 2021. With cash and cash equivalents on deposit with reputable financial institutions, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risks arising from the financial instruments.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. As at October 31, 2021, the Company has current liabilities totaling $541,624 and cash and cash equivalents of $3,806,291, and is not exposed to significant liquidity risk at this time. However, since the Company is in the exploration stage, it will periodically have to raise funds to continue operations and intends to raise further financing through private placements.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its insignificant exposure to market risks.

Commodity Price Risk

The ability of the Company to raise funds to explore and develop its exploration and evaluation assets and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the price of copper and gold. The Company monitors copper and gold prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.


SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATIONUNCERTAINTY

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources –Going Concern” and Note 1 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the period from the date of incorporation on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021 for the assumptions made to determine that the Company will continue on a going-concern basis.


The Company’s significant accounting policies are presented in Note 4 of the audited financial statements for the period from the date of incorporation on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021. Note 4 provides that the preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are summarized below. Please refer to Note 4 of the audited financial statements for the period from the date of incorporation on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021 for additional details:

a) Determination of functional currency

The determination of the Company’s functional currency is a matter of judgment based on an assessment of the specific facts and circumstances relevant to determining the primary economic environment of the Company. The Company reconsiders the functional currencies used when there is a change in events and conditions considered in determining the primary economic environment of the Company.

b) Going concern

The assessment of whether the going concern assumption is appropriate requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period. The Company is aware that material uncertainties exist related to events or conditions that may cast substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

From the date of incorporation on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021

(Expressed in United States Dollars, except as noted)

c) Asset acquisitions versus business combinations

Management had to apply judgment with respect to whether the acquisitions through the asset purchase agreement (as discussed in Note 6) were asset acquisitions or business combinations. The assessments required management to assess the inputs, processes and outputs of the companies acquired at the time of the acquisition. Pursuant to the assessment, the asset purchase agreement was considered to be an asset acquisition.

Estimates that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company`s financial statements are as follows:

d) Valuation of mineral properties

The Company carries the acquisition costs of its mineral properties at cost less any provision for impairment. The Company undertakes periodic reviews of the carrying values of mineral properties and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may exceed their fair value. In undertaking these reviews, management of the Company is required to make significant estimates. These estimates are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which may ultimately have an effect on the expected recoverability of the carrying values of the mineral properties and related expenditures.

e) Share-based payment

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the valuation of share-based payment. Option pricing models require the input of the subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s net loss and share-based payment reserve. Measurement of the Company’s obligation to issue shares upon exercise of Silver Bull Warrants is based on an instinct value pricing model which uses assumptions with respect to share price. Changes in these assumptions and estimates result in changes in the fair value of these instruments and a corresponding change in the amount recognized in profit or loss or in equity.

f) Fair value of net assets acquired

The Company makes estimates in determining the fair value of the assets acquired as part of an acquisition. Management exercises judgment in estimating the probability and timing of when cash flows are expected to be achieved, which is used as the basis for estimating fair value. Future performance results that differ from management’s estimates could result in changes to liabilities recorded, which are recorded as they arise through profit or loss.

OUTSTANDING SHARE CAPITAL

The Company’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value. As of the date of this MD&A, the company had 51,475,150 Common Shares, 5,160,000 stock options and 1,971,289 Silver Bull warrants issued and outstanding.

QUALIFIED PERSON

All of the scientific and technical information contained in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Tim Barry, CEO and Director of Arras Minerals Corp., a Chartered Professional Geologist (MAusIMM CP Geo) with the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a “Qualified Person” for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Minerals Projects.

ArrasMinerals Corp.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

For the three months ended January 31, 2022

(Expressed in United States dollars)

(Unaudited)



1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Arras Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 5, 2021 under the BusinessCorporations Act (British Columbia) as part of an asset purchase agreement to reorganize Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (“Silver Bull”) as described in Note 4. The Company’s head office is located at 1605-777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, BC, V7Y 1K4, Canada.

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral property interests. The Company’s assets consist primarily of the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Beskauga property (“Beskauga”) in Kazakhstan, and loans made to Ekidos Minerals LLP (“Ekidos”), who holds exploration licenses for properties located in Kazakhstan.

The Company has not yet determined whether the properties contain mineral reserves where extraction is both technically feasible and commercially viable. The business of mining and the exploration for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that such activities will result in profitable mining operations.

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplated that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred operating losses to date and has no current sources of revenue or cash inflows from operations. The Company relies on share issuances in order to fund its exploration and other business objectives. During the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company has raised Canadian dollar (“$CDN”) $3.6 million (United States dollars of $2.9 million) through the issuance of common shares, and as at January 31, 2022 had cash of $3.6 million which, based on current forecasts, is sufficient to fund the Company’s required expenditures under the commitments of the option agreement for Beskauga and general corporate activities.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and fulfill its commitments under the Beskauga option agreement is dependent upon successful execution of its business plan, raising additional capital or evaluating strategic alternatives. The Company expects to continue to raise the necessary funds primarily through the issuance of common shares. There can be no guarantees that future equity financing will be available in which case the Company may need to reduce its exploration activities. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these condensed interim financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

On March 11, 2020, the novel coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. While, other than travel restriction to the Company’s exploration projects, the Company has not been significantly impacted by COVID-19, the situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy and the Company’s business are not known at this time. These impacts could include an impact on the Company’s ability to obtain equity financing to fund additional exploration activities as well as the Company’s ability to explore and conduct business.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

a) Statement of compliance

These condensed interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required for annual audited financial statements.

In particular, the Company’s use of judgements and estimates and significant accounting policies were presented in note 5 of those annual financial statements and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements. The annual financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

For the three months ended January 31, 2022

(Expressed in United States dollars)

(Unaudited)

These condensed interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”), which is the Company’s functional currency.

The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full fiscal year.

b) Basis of presentation

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

c) Approval of the condensed interim financial statements

These condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 31, 2022.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies followed in these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in Note 5 of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020.

a) Critical accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s condensed interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

b) Foreign currency translation

Statement of financial position: monetary assets and liabilities are translated into USD using period end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated into USD using historical exchange rates.

Statement of comprehensive loss: income, expenses, and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions).

Statement of changes in shareholders’ equity: all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity and in other comprehensive loss.

c)         Going concern

The assessment of whether the going concern assumption is appropriate requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period. The Company is aware that material uncertainties exist related to events or conditions that may cast substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

d) Economic recoverability of future economic benefits of exploration and evaluation assets

Management has determined that exploration and evaluation of mineral properties and related costs incurred, which have been recognized on the condensed interim statements of financial position, are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit including geological data, scoping studies, accessible facilities, and existing and future permits.

4. ASSET PURCHASE AND SEPARATIONAND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

On March 19, 2021, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement with Silver Bull, a majority shareholder (88% interest) and related party, Silver Bull transferred all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Beskauga Option Agreement, as described in Note 5, to the Company. The consideration payable by the Company to Silver Bull was $1,367,668, paid through the issuance of 36,000,000 common shares of the Company.

The fair value of the assets at the date of transfer was as follows:

Mineral properties $ 327,690
Mining equipment 45,647
Computer equipment and software 9,331
Loans to Ekidos Minerals LLP (“Ekidos”) (the “Silver Bull Loans”) 985,000
Net assets acquired $ 1,367,668

On September 24, 2021, pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Silver Bull distributed to its shareholders one common share of the Company for each Silver Bull common share held by such shareholders, or 34,547,838 common shares of the Company in total (the “Distribution”). Upon completion of the Distribution, Silver Bull retained 1,452,162 common shares of the Company, representing a 4% interest in the Company on the Distribution date. At January 31, 2022, Silver Bull owns 845,162 common shares of the Company.

Further, Silver Bull warrant holders will receive, upon exercise of any Silver Bull warrant (the “Silver Bull Warrants”), for the original exercise price, one Silver Bull common share and one common share of the Company. The Company will receive $0.25 of the proceeds from the exercise of each of these Silver Bull Warrants. A total of 1,971,289 Silver Bull Warrants were outstanding at the time of the Distribution which, if all exercised, would require the Company to issue 1,971,289 common shares for proceeds of $492,822.

At the date of the Distribution, the assets transferred did not meet the definition of a business, as there were no substantive processes in place, and the transaction has been accounted for as an acquisition of assets, rather than a business combination. The transaction is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 – Share-based payments and IFRS 3 Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”).

5. BESKAUGA OPTION AGREEMENT

On August 12, 2020, Silver Bull entered into the Beskauga Option Agreement with Copperbelt AG (“Copperbelt”) pursuant to which it has the exclusive right and option to acquire Copperbelt’s right, title and 100% interest in the Beskauga property located in Kazakhstan. Upon completion of Silver Bull’s due diligence on January 26, 2021, the Beskauga Option Agreement was finalized (the “Closing Date”).

On March 19, 2021, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, Silver Bull transferred all its rights, title and interest in and to the Beskauga Option Agreement to the Company. The consideration payable by the Company to Silver Bull for the purchased assets was $1,367,668, paid through the issuance of 36,000,000 common shares of common shares in the capital of the Company (Note 4).

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

For the three months ended January 31, 2022

(Expressed in United States dollars)

(Unaudited)

Under the terms of the Beskauga Option Agreement, the exploration expenditure requirements and incurred are summarized as follows:

Period Annual Expenditure Required Accumulated Expenditure Required Annual Expenditure Incurred Accumulated Expenditure <br>Incurred
By January 26, 2022 (1 year from Closing Date) $2 million $2 million $3.59 million $3.59 million
By January 26, 2023 (2 years from Closing Date) $3 million $5 million n/a $3.59 million
By January 26, 2024 (3 years from Closing Date) $5 million $10 million n/a $3.59 million
By January 26, 2025 (4 years from Closing Date) $5 million $15 million n/a $3.59 million

As of January 31, 2022, approximately $3.59 million of the required expenditures have been incurred under the Beskauga

Option Agreement, via the loans made to Ekidos, $2.97 million of which were then in turn invested in Dostyk LLP, the holder of the Beskauga exploration license. The remaining $0.62 million was spent by Ekidos LLP on the Ekidos and Stepnoe licenses. As per the terms of the Beskauga Option Agreement, the costs incurred in relation to the Ekidos and Stepnoe licenses can be applied to the required expenditures under the Beskauga Option Agreement.

At January 31, 2022, Ekidos was an unrelated third-party Kazakh entity, which was incorporated by Copperbelt to hold the Beskauga property interests. The funds advanced are being used for the acquisition of mineral property concessions in Kazakhstan and expenditures incurred in relation to the Beskauga Option Agreement.

Subsequent to period end, on February 3, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Ekidos (the “Acquisition). Total consideration for the Acquisition was $1,000 cash.

Ekidos is in the business of the exploration and evaluation of resource properties. The Acquisition will be accounted for by the Company as an asset acquisition as Ekidos did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3, as the significant inputs, processes and outputs, that together constitute a business, did not exist in Ekidos at the time of the Acquistion. The fair value of net assets acquired is still subject to determination. Upon completion of the Acquisition, all amounts loaned to Ekidos will eliminate upon consolidation and the expenditures funded via these loans will be recorded according to the Company’s accounting policies in future reporting periods.

The Beskauga Option Agreement also provides that subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Beskauga Option Agreement, after the Company or its affiliate has incurred the exploration expenditures (outlined above), the Company or its affiliate may exercise the Beskauga Option and acquire (i) the Beskauga Property by paying Copperbelt $15,000,000 in cash, (ii) the Beskauga Main Project only by paying Copperbelt $13,500,000 in cash, or (iii) the Beskauga South Project only by paying Copperbelt $1,500,000 in cash.

In addition, the Beskauga Option Agreement provides that subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Beskauga Option Agreement, the Company or its affiliate may be obligated to make the following bonus payments (collectively, the “Bonus Payments”) to Copperbelt if the Beskauga Main Project or the Beskauga South Project is the subject of a bankable feasibility study in compliance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 indicating gold equivalent resources in the amounts set forth below, with (i) (A) 20% of the Bonus Payments payable after completion of the bankable feasibility study or after the mineral resource statement is finally determined and (B) the remaining 80% of the Bonus Payments due within 15 business days of commencement of on-site construction of a mine for the Beskauga Main Project or the Beskauga South Project, as applicable, and (ii) up to 50% of the Bonus Payments payable in shares of the Company’s common shares to be valued at the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price of the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange calculated as of the date immediately preceding the date such shares are issued:

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

For the three months ended January 31, 2022

(Expressed in United States dollars)

(Unaudited)

A summary of the range of assumptions used to value stock options granted for the period ended January 31, 2022 and from inception on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021 is as follows:

Options For the Period Ended January 31, 2022 For the Period from Inception on February 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021
Expected volatility 78% - 80% 75% - 79%
Risk-free interest rate 1.23% 0.46% - 1.03%
Dividend yield
Expected term (in years) 3 – 5 3 – 5

The expected volatility assumption is based on the historical and implied volatility of the comparable companies’ common share price. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on yield curves on government zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term equal to the stock options’ expected life. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock. Companies are required to utilize an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the expense for the reporting period. Based on the best estimate, management applied the estimated forfeiture rate of 0% in determining the expense recorded in the accompanying statements of comprehensive loss.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
--- ---

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, loans to Ekidos, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related party and due from related party. The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below.

a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its payment obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents and loans to Ekidos. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to cash and cash equivalents is remote as it maintains accounts with highly rated financial institutions. The Company’s loans to Ekidos are subject to the expected credit loss model. The carrying amount of the loans to Ekidos represent the maximum credit exposure. Subsequent to period-end, Ekidos was acquired (Note15).

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating investing and financing activities. As at January 31, 2022, the Company had working capital of $8,588,010,493 (October 31, 2021 - $6,493,934) and cash and cash equivalents of $3,630,542 (October 31, 2021 - $3,806,291), and is not exposed to significant liquidity risk at this time. However, since the Company is in the exploration stage, it will periodically have to raise funds to continue operations and intends to raise further financing through private placements. All of the Company’s liabilities are due within 90 days of January 31, 2022.

c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk. The Company is not currently exposed to any significant interest rate risk or other price risk. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk with respect to cash denominated in Canadian dollars. As at January 31, 2022, a 10% strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar would have increased (decreased) the Company’s comprehensive loss by approximately $361,000 for the period ended January 31, 2022.

d) Commodity price risk

The ability of the Company to raise funds to explore and develop its exploration and evaluation assets and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the price of copper and gold. The Company monitors copper and gold prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.

e) Fair value hierarchy

Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significant of inputs used in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s financial instruments classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy are cash, loans to Ekidos, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due from related party. The carrying values approximate the fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the period ended January 31, 2022.

13. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company defines its capital as shareholders’ equity. Capital requirements are driven by the Company’s general operations and exploration. To effectively manage the Company’s capital requirements, the Company monitors expenses and overhead to ensure costs and commitments are being paid. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. The Company did not change its approach to capital management during the period ended January 31, 2022.

14. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Operating segments

The Company operated in a single reportable operating segment - the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties, with its head office function in Canada. As at January 31, 2022, the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets are currently located in Kazakhstan.

GENERALBUSINESS OVERVIEW

Arras Minerals Corp. was incorporated on February 5, 2021, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (“SVB” or “Silver Bull”). Arras was formed to hold SVB’s interests in the Beskauga property located in Kazakhstan (the “Beskauga Property”), which consists of the Beskauga Main project (the “Beskauga Main Project”) and the Beskauga South project (the “Beskauga South Project” and together with the Beskauga Main Project, the “BeskaugaProject”). On September 24, 2021, SVB completed the Spin Out (as defined below) and shareholders of SVB were issued a total of 34,547,838 common shares in the capital of the Company (each a “Common Share”). The Company’s head office is located at Suite 1605, 777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7Y 1K4 and its registered and records office is located at Suite 2600, 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7X 1L3.

On March 19, 2021, SVB transferred its Kazakh assets to the Company pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) in exchange for the issuance of 36,000,000 Common Shares of the Company to SVB (the “Asset Transfer”). The transferred assets included an option agreement with respect to the Beskauga Property (the “Beskauga Option Agreement”), a joint venture agreement with respect to the Stepnoe and Ekidos properties and loans payable by Ekidos Minerals LLP (“Ekidos LLP”) to SVB. Subsequently, on September 24, 2021, SVB distributed 34,547,838 Common Shares issued to SVB in respect of the Asset Transfer to its shareholders by way of a special dividend, on the basis of one Common Share for each common share in the capital of SVB (the “Distribution” and, together with the Asset Transfer, the “Spin Out”). Prior to completion of the Spin Out, the Company entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) with Silver Bull. The Separation and Distribution Agreement set forth the Company’s agreements with Silver Bull regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Distribution and the Spin Out.

Arras is an exploration stage company, engaged in the business of mineral exploration. The Company’s exploration is focused on discovering and delineating mineral resources at the Company’s material property, the Beskauga Project.

DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS

Beskauga Project


The Beskauga Project is located in the Pavlodar region of north-eastern Kazakhstan, approximately 300 km northeast from the Kazakhstan capital, Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana). The Beskauga Project is interpreted by Arras to represent a copper-gold porphyry deposit and consists of three licenses: the Beskauga license which was issued under the older Kazak permitting system, and the Ekidos and Stepnoe licenses which were issued under the new Kazak mining code in October 2020. The Beskauga license is held by Dostyk LLP, a Kazakh entity 100% owned by Copperbelt AG (“Copperbelt”), a private mineral exploration company registered in Switzerland with which Arras has the Beskauga Option Agreement. Pursuant to the Beskauga Option Agreement, Arras has the exclusive right and option (the “Beskauga Option”) to acquire Copperbelt’s right, title and 100% interest in the Beskauga property. The Ekidos and Stepnoe licenses are held by Ekidos LLP, which is 100% controlled by Arras.

On May 20, 2021, Ekidos LLP entered into the Maikain Joint Venture Agreement (the “Maikain JV Agreement”) with Orogen LLP, a company incorporated under the laws of Kazakhstan, in connection with, among other things, mineral license applications for, and further exploration and evaluation of, certain properties in an area of interest, including the Akkuduk, Nogurbek, Maisor and Elemes properties located in Kazakhstan. The exploration license for the Akkuduk property was granted on February 2, 2021. The exploration license for the Nogurbek property was granted on August 20, 2021. The exploration license for the Maisor property was granted on October 22, 2021. The exploration license for the Elemes property was granted on January 14, 2022.

Arras commenced an exploration program in the second calendar quarter of 2021 on the Beskauga Property. This involved a geological mapping and a sampling program of key select areas, as well as a diamond drilling program targeting extensions to the known mineralization. The exploration program’s design was determined based on historical geological information in the area and an airborne geophysics program that was completed in April 2021.

Final geophysical products for the airborne magnetic survey were received in July 2021 and confirmed a 300m x 300m “bulls-eye” magnetic high that had been previously identified with a ground magnetic survey completed in 2012. A lower magnetic response surrounds the bulls-eye magnetic high which is interpreted to be an alteration halo around an intrusion. The Beskauga deposit sits on the eastern margin of the interpreted intrusion and the alteration halo. Only 30% of this margin has been tested with drilling.

The Company’s planned exploration program to December 31, 2022 will look to upgrade the existing resource as well as test the wider area that has not yet been drilled. Specifically, the program contemplates the inclusion of:

· a 30,000-meter exploration drill program in the<br>immediate area to fully test the entire mineralizing system at Beskauga;
· collection of multi-element litho-geochemical<br>data and hyperspectral data from a selection of historical pulps and drill core and, on this basis, design of routine analytical protocol<br>for all additional drilling;

Management Discussion and Analysis

For the three months ended January 31, 2022

(Expressed in United States Dollars, except as noted)

· relogging of select drill core, including detailed<br>alteration and vein-type and density logging, and development of a standard operating procedure for logging to optimize data collection<br>and understanding in a porphyry-epithermal system;
· review and re-processing of induced polarization<br>and magnetic data collected by Copperbelt;
--- ---
· a comprehensive density testing program to confirm<br>the density value used in the Beskauga Property Mineral Resource estimate;
--- ---
· completion of additional infill drilling to improve<br>definition of the geology and mineralization and to support improved classification of additional Mineral Resources to the Measured or<br>Indicated classification;
--- ---
· integration of geological, structural, alteration,<br>and litho-geochemical and hyperspectral studies to support an improved understanding of deposit architecture, an improved three-dimensional<br>(3D) geological model, and an initial geometallurgical domain model to guide additional metallurgical sampling;
--- ---
· additional metallurgical test work on both the<br>copper and gold mineralization to confirm recovery and comminution parameters and deleterious element mitigation, with sample selection<br>based on geometallurgical domains;
--- ---
· follow up on regional targets with geophysics<br>and prospect drilling;
--- ---
· detail power and water sources requirements,<br>and begin all permitting processes; and
--- ---
· addressing any other gaps to be filled to advance<br>the project towards a Mineral Resource update and preliminary feasibility study.
--- ---

These items are expected to be carried out concurrently as a single phase of work, subject to obtaining sufficient financing.

ARRAS MINERALS CORP.

Management Discussion and Analysis

For the three months ended January 31, 2022

(Expressed in United States Dollars, except as noted)

On October 25, 2021, pursuant to a finder’s fee agreement, the Company issued 400,000 Common Shares to UMS Project Limited Partnership for the introduction of Copperbelt AG and earning an interest in mineral property licenses from Copperbelt AG located in Kazakhstan.

Subsequent Events

On February 3, 2022, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Ekidos and Ekidos became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Total consideration was $1,000. The acquisition has been accounted for by the Company as a purchase of assets and assumption of liabilities. The acquisition did not qualify as a business combination under IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, as the significant inputs, processes and outputs, that together constitute a business, did not exist in Ekidos at the time of acquisition.

On March 2, 2022, the Company granted options to acquire 300,000 common shares with an exercise price of $CDN 1.00 per share.

On May 30, 2022, the Company completed a private placement for 1,091,000 common shares at a price of $CDN 1.50 per common share for gross proceeds of $CDN 1,636,500.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The net working capital of the Company at January 31, 2022 was $8,588,010 (October 31, 2021: $6,493,934).

For the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company used $769,420 in cash for operating activities. The Company’s cash flows from operations are negative as it is an exploration stage company.

For the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company used $2,139,494 in cash for investing activities, which included $2,136,500 for loans made to Ekidos LLP and $2,994 cash for the purchase of equipment. The Company’s primary investing activities pertain to loans provided to Arras’ wholly owned subsidiary Ekidos LLP to fund the required expenditures under the Beskauga Option Agreement.

For the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company had net cash provided by financing activities of $2,832,372, which was from private placements in November and December of 2021. Upon listing of the Common Shares, Arras expects to spend $1.07 million in corporate administration and overhead costs and $1.50 million is exploration costs. Arras anticipates that its existing working capital will be sufficient to finance these expenditures.

Liquidity Outlook

At present, the Company’s operations do not generate cash inflows and its financial success is dependent on management’s ability to discover economically viable mineral deposits and raise cash through financings. The mineral exploration process can take many years and is subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control.

As of January 31, 2022, the Company had incurred approximately $3.59 million of the required expenditures and has an additional $11.41 million in exploration expenditure requirements by January 26, 2025 under the Beskauga Option Agreement, as detailed in the “Discussion of Operations” section.

In order to finance the Company’s operations, future exploration programs, make payments and undertake expenditures to maintain the effectiveness of the Beskauga Option and to cover administrative and overhead expenses, the Company will need to raise funds through equity sales, from the exercise of convertible securities, debt, deferral of payments to related parties, or other forms of raising capital. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the resources market, the climate for mineral exploration investment, the Company’s track record, and the experience and caliber of its management. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of exploration activities. Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the short and long term but recognizes that there will be risks involved which may be beyond its control.

Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As at January 31, 2022, the Company has not yet achieved profitable operations. This condition indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon obtaining necessary financing to meet the Company’s commitments as they come due and to finance the Company’s operations, future exploration programs, make payments and undertake expenditures to maintain the effectiveness of the Beskauga Option and to cover administrative and overhead expenses. Failure to continue as a going concern would require that assets and liabilities be recorded at their liquidation values, which might differ significantly from their carrying values. The condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the three-month period ended January 31, 2022 do not include adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.

PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has no proposed transactions that have not been disclosed herein as at January 31, 2022 or at the date of this MD&A.

Financial InstRuments and Capital Risk Management

The Company provides information about its financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payables and accrued liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values due to the term of these instruments.

As at January 31, 2022, the fair value of cash held by the Company was based on level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

ARRAS MINERALS CORP.

Management Discussion and Analysis

For the three months ended January 31, 2022

(Expressed in United States Dollars, except as noted)

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is its cash and cash equivalents of $3,630,542 at January 31, 2022. With cash and cash equivalents on deposit with reputable financial institutions, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risks arising from the financial instruments.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. As at January 31, 2022, the Company has current liabilities totaling $396,472 and cash and cash equivalents of $3,630,542, and is not exposed to significant liquidity risk at this time. However, since the Company is in the exploration stage, it will periodically have to raise funds to continue operations and intends to raise further financing through private placements.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its insignificant exposure to market risks.

Commodity Price Risk

The ability of the Company to raise funds to explore and develop its exploration and evaluation assets and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the price of copper and gold. The Company monitors copper and gold prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTINGPOLICIES AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of financial statements requires management to establish accounting policies, estimates and assumptions that affect the timing and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and require judgment on matters which are inherently uncertain. Details of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in note 3 of the condensed interim financial statements for the three-month period ended January 31, 2022.

OUTSTANDING SHARE CAPITAL

The Company’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value. As of the date of this MD&A, the company had 52,566,150 Common Shares, 5,260,000 stock options and 1,971,289 warrants issued and outstanding.

QUALIFIEDPERSON AND INFORMATION CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MINERAL PROJECTS

All of the scientific and technical information contained in this MD&A has been reviewed and/or approved by Tim Barry, CEO and Director of Arras Minerals Corp., a Chartered Professional Geologist (MAusIMM CP Geo) with the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a “Qualified Person” for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Minerals Projects.

Risks and uncertainties

The Company’s business, operations and future prospects are subject to significant risks. For details of these risks, refer to the risk factors set forth in the Company’s final long form prospectus (“Final Long Form Prospectus”), filed with SEDAR on May 31, 2022.

Management is not aware of any significant changes to the risks identified in the Final Long Form Prospectus. Such risk factors could materially affect the Company’s business, operations, prospects and share price and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers immaterial may also impair the business, operations, prospects and share price of the Company. If any of the risks actually occur, the business of the Company may be harmed, and its financial condition and results of operations may suffer significantly.
