**Lion Copper and Gold Corp.**Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements<br>For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021<br>(Unaudited - In thousands of U.S. Dollars except for shares and per share amounts)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Lion Copper and Gold Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, "Lion CG" or the "Company") is a Canadian-based company advancing its Mason Valley, Nevada copper assets with Rio Tinto America, Inc. in addition to advancing its exploration projects including the Chaco Bear and Ashton properties in highly prospective regions in British Columbia, Canada, and the Blue Copper Prospect in Montana, USA. The Company is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Its registered and records offices are located at 1200 - 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2T8. On November 22, 2021, the Company changed its name from Quaterra Resources Inc. to Lion Copper and Gold Corp. The shares of the Company commenced trading under the new name at the open of trading on November 23, 2021. The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol "LEO" and trade on the OTCQB Market under the symbol "LCGMF".

The Company acquires its mineral properties through option or lease agreements and capitalizes all acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs related to the properties. The underlying value of the amounts recorded as mineral properties does not reflect current or future values. The Company's continued existence depends on discovering the economically recoverable mineral reserves and obtaining the necessary funding to complete the development of these properties.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will be able to meet its commitments, continue operations and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for at least twelve months from June 30, 2022. The Company has incurred ongoing losses and expects to incur further losses in the advancement of its business activities. For the six months ended as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $301 (2021 - $1,174). As at June 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $2,790 (December 31, 2021 - $842), working capital deficit of $110 (December 31, 2021 - $522) and an accumulated deficit of $94,937 (December 31, 2021 - $94,636).

The Company continues to incur losses, has limited financial resources, and has no current source of revenue or cash flow generated from operating activities. To address its financing requirements, the Company plans to seek financing through, but not limited to, debt financing, equity financing and strategic alliances. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be available. If adequate financing is not available or cannot be obtained on a timely basis, the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its exploration programs or relinquish some or all of its rights under the existing option and acquisition agreements. The above factors give rise to material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

If the going concern assumptions were not appropriate for these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, liabilities, the reported expenses, and the consolidated statement of financial position classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), effective for financial year ended December 31, 2022.

These condensed interim consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for the cash flow information.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Statement of compliance (continued)

The Company consolidates an entity when it has power over that entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with that entity and can affect those returns through its control over that entity. All material intercompany transactions, balances and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Lion Copper and Gold Corp., and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Quaterra Alaska Inc. (Quaterra Alaska), Singatse Peak Services, LLC ("SPS") and Blue Copper LLC.  On March 30, 2022, Six Mile Mining Company, was dissolved and its assets were transferred to Quaterra Alaska Inc.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The changes in accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2022.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 29, 2022.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all note disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

  1. MINERAL PROPERTIES (continued)

a) MacArthur and Yerington Properties, Nevada

On February 24, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell certain primary groundwater rights to Desert Pearl Farms LLC ("Desert Pearl"), a Yerington-based company involved in agriculture, for $2,910 (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement"). In early March, 2021, the Company filed an application with the State of Nevada Division of Water Resources ("NDWR") to change the manner of use of the water rights from mining to agriculture and their place of use ("Change Application"). Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Desert Pearl made a $1,000 initial payment to the Company on March 5, 2021. The Purchase and Sale Agreement is subject to the NDWR's final approval of the Change Application. The primary water rights covered under the Purchase and Sale Agreement are one of the water rights that are the subject of forfeiture, as discussed in the next paragraph.

On July 23, 2021, the Company received a notice from the State of Nevada that three water rights permits had been forfeited. Further, that the application for an extension of time to prevent forfeiture of a fourth certificate was denied. The permits affected are components of the Purchase and Sale Agreement announced on February 24, 2021.

On August 20, 2021, the Company filed a Petition for Judicial Review of the Forfeiture Notice and has retained legal counsel to initiate and vigorously undertake the appeal process.

On May 25, 2022, the Company reached an amicable agreement with Desert Pearl Farms to terminate the contract on the sale of the Company's water rights. As a consequence of the termination, the Company returned the $1,000 deposit to Desert Pearl Farms on June 20, 2022.

b) Bear Deposit, Nevada

The Company has five option agreements, entered from March 2013 to May 2015, to acquire a 100% interest in private land in Yerington, Nevada, collectively known as the Bear deposit. Under the terms of these option agreements, as amended, the Company is required to make $5,673 in cash payments over 15 years ($5,122 paid) to maintain the exclusive right to purchase the land, mineral rights, and certain water rights and to conduct mineral exploration on these properties. Two of the properties are subject to a 2% NSR upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 1% NSR in consideration of $1,250 total.

Outstanding payments to keep the five option agreements current are as follows, by year:

  • $193 due 2022 ($43 paid);
  • $201 due in 2023;
  • $50 due in years 2024 to 2028.

Outstanding purchase payments under the five option agreements are as follows:

  • $1,115 for Taylor, purchase option expiring in 2023;
  • $250 for Chisum, purchase option expiring in 2023;
  • $5,000 for Yerington Mining, purchase option expiring in 2024;
  • $8,000 for Circle Bar N, purchase option expiring in 2024;
  • $18,020 for Desert Pearl Farms, purchase option expiring in 2029.

  1. MINERAL PROPERTIES (continued)

c) Wassuk, Nevada

The Wassuk property consists of 310 unpatented lode claims totaling approximately 6,400 acres on lands administered by the BLM.

The Company has completed all requirements to earn a 100% interest in certain unpatented mining claims in Lyon County, Nevada, ($1,405 in cash payments and a work commitment of $50). During 2021, two final option payments were paid and form part of the total payments of $1,405. The Company has now satisfied all conditions required to execute the option to purchase.

The property is subject to a 3% NSR upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 2% NSR royalty in consideration of $1,500.

d) Groundhog, Alaska

On April 20, 2017, the Company entered a lease with option to purchase agreement with Chuchuna Minerals Company ("Chuchuna") to earn a 90% interest in the Groundhog copper prospect, located two hundred miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the lease agreement was further extended from six to seven years, providing the Company more time to make the required exploration expenditures and lump sum payment. To earn the 90% interest, the Company must fund a total of $5,000 ($2,724 funded) of exploration expenditures and make a lump sum payment to Chuchuna of $3,000 by the end of April 20, 2024. The Company can terminate the Agreement at its discretion.

The property is subject to a 1.75% NSR upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 0.875% NSR royalty in consideration of $25,000.

e) Butte Valley Prospect, Nevada

On January 26, 2022, the Company entered into a property acquisition agreement to sell and assign its options to acquire the Butte Valley property to Falcon Butte Minerals Corp. (formerly 1301666 B.C. Ltd, or "Falcon Butte.") which is a private British Columbia company established to acquire mineral resource properties.

Pursuant to the agreement, Lion CG's 100% owned subsidiary Quaterra Alaska was granted an equity position in Falcon Butte (Note 5). In addition, Quaterra Alaska will maintain a 1.5% NSR on each of the Butte Valley optioned properties, which is subject to a buy-down to a 1.0% NSR in exchange for a payment of $7,500 per property.

On April 5, 2022, the Company completed the assignment of the two option agreements for the Butte Valley Property and the Company received 16,049,444 common shares of Falcon Butte with a fair value of $1,907 and $500 cash for the property, resulting in a gain on sale of $1,208 (Note 5, 11).

On April 13, 2022, the Company amended the agreement. Pursuant to the addendum Falcon Butte will pay a total of $500 in exchange for a 0.5% buy-down and retirement of certain NSRs held by the company. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has received $250. Subsequent to the period, the remaining $250 was received on August 11, 2022 (Note 17).

4. MINERAL PROPERTIES (continued)

f) Chaco Bear and Ashton Properties, British Columbia

On August 25, 2021, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Houston Minerals Ltd. ("Houston") setting forth the terms of an option whereby the Company may acquire a 100% interest in the Chaco Bear Property located directly east of the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, and the Ashton Property located near Lytton, British Columbia (Collectively, the "Properties").

Under the terms of the LOI, the Company and Houston proposed to enter into a definitive agreement whereby the Company can earn up to a 100% interest in the Properties by making the following issuances and payments over a four-year period:

  • issuing 8,000,000 common shares of the Company on closing (issued on March 17, 2022);
  • making annual lease payments on the Properties after 2021;
  • incurring CAD$150 of exploration expenditures on the Chaco Bear Property and CAD$50 of exploration expenditures on the Ashton Property before the end of 2021 for CAD$200 (paid);
  • incurring exploration expenditures of at least the value of the annual assessment multiplied by 1.5 for periods after 2021 (claims were renewed and extended through to early 2025, resulting in no obligation on exploration expenditures until 2024);
  • paying CAD$1,500 for the Chaco Bear Property and CAD$1,000 for the Ashton Property on or before 4 years from the closing, which amounts are payable in cash or common shares of the Company; and
  • making annual advance royalty payments in the fourth and fifth year from the closing in the amounts of CAD$250 on the Chaco Bear Property and CAD$150 on the Ashton Property.

On September 17, 2021, the parties agreed to an amendment to the LOI to include a 2.5% NSR on each property. Prior to feasibility, the Company may reduce the NSR to 1.0% on the Chaco Bear Property in consideration for a payment of CAD$6,000 and 1.0% on the Ashton Property for a payment of CAD$3,000. Post feasibility, the Company may purchase the remaining 1.0% NSR on the Chaco Bear Property for CAD$12,000 and the remaining 1.0% NSR on the Ashton Property for CAD$6,000.

On January 26, 2022, the Company entered into an option agreement with Houston Minerals Ltd. to replace the LOI dated August 25, 2021.

7. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

a) Warrants

The Company has certain outstanding share purchase warrants that are exercisable in a different currency from the Company's functional currency. These warrants are classified as derivative liabilities and carried at fair value and revalued at each reporting date.

b) Conversion option on convertible debentures

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement of unsecured convertible debentures (Note 8). The debentures allow the holder the option to elect to be repaid in kind at any time prior to maturity by way of shares the Company holds in Falcon Butte, or its successor, at a rate of $0.25 per Falcon Butte share. These conversion options are classified as derivative liabilities and carried at fair value and revalued at each reporting date.

7. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (continued)

As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2021, the derivative liabilities were related to 769,230 warrants with an exercise price denominated in Canadian dollars and $1,075 in convertible debentures with the option to be converted into 4,300,000 shares of Falcone Butte. The warrants were revalued using the weighted average assumptions: volatility of 121.76% (2021 - 141%), expected term of 0.22 years (2020 - 0.72 years), a discount rate of 3.09% (2021-1.01%) and a dividend yield of 0% (2021 - 0%). The resulting fair value of these derivative liabilities at June 30, 2022, is $20 (December 31, 2021 $55). The conversion option was valued using the weighted average assumptions: volatility of 100% (2021 - nil%), expected term of 1.67 years (2021 - nil years), a discount rate of 3.20% (2021 - nil%) and a dividend yield of 0% (2021 - 0%). The resulting fair value of these derivative liabilities at June 30, 2022, is $145 (December 31, 2021 $nil).

A reconciliation of the changes in the derivative liability during the period is as follows:

Balance December 31, 2020 $ 51
Change in fair value 4
Balance December 31, 2021 55
Change in fair value - warrants (35 )
Derivative related to convertible debentures 145
Balance June 30, 2022 $ 165

8. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On June 17, 2022, the company closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement of unsecured convertible debentures for gross proceeds of $1,075 (Note 11). The debentures bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum and mature on February 17, 2024 and are convertible into shares of the Company at $0.067 per share until June 17, 2023 and thereafter at $0.078 per share. The holder also has the option to elect at any time prior to the election date to be repaid by way of shares the Company owns of Falcon Butte (Note 5) at the rate of $0.25 per Falcon Butte share.  The option to be repaid in Falcon Butte shares represents a derivative liability as the holder has the option to convert the debt into a financial asset of the Company (Note 7).

In conjunction with the convertible debt financing, the Company issued 16,044,774 warrants. The warrants are exercisable into one common share of the Company at $0.067 per share and expire on February 17, 2024.

The convertible debentures were determined to be a financial instrument comprising an embedded derivative liability classified conversion feature with a host debt component. On initial recognition, the Company used the residual value method to allocate the principal amount of the debentures between the two components. The fair value of the debt was valued first, followed by the fair value of the conversion option to Falcon Butte shares or Lion Copper and Gold shares with the residual allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the debt was estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instrument, estimated to be 11% per annum. A total amount of $145 was allocated to the conversion option, with remaining amount of $34 allocated to warrants.

15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company considers its capital to be equity, comprising share capital, reserves, and deficit. The Company's objectives are to ensure sufficient financial flexibility to achieve its ongoing business objectives, including the funding of future growth opportunities, the pursuit of accretive acquisitions, and to maximize shareholder return through enhancing the share value.

The Company manages capital through its budgeting and forecasting processes. The Company reviews its working capital and forecasts its future cash flows based on operating expenditures and other investing and financing activities.

To maintain its objectives, the Company may issue new shares, adjust capital spending, acquire, or dispose of assets. There is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.

There was no change in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended June 30, 2022. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS

The board of directors has overall responsibility for establishing and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts payable and derivative liabilities.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company's activities expose it to financial risks of varying degrees of significance, which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns. The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and commodity price risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework and reviews the Company's policies on an ongoing basis.

The investment in associate is considered to represent a level 3 fair value measurement.

a) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. To mitigate this risk, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to determine the funds required to support its ongoing operations and capital expenditures. The Company ensures that sufficient funds are raised from equity offerings or debt financings to meet its operating requirements, after considering existing cash and expected exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants. See Note 1 for further discussion.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS (continued)

b) Currency risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in the United States and Canada; therefore, it is exposed to currency risk from transactions denominated in CAD. Currently, the Company does not have any foreign exchange hedge programs and manages its operational CAD requirements through spot

purchases in the foreign exchange markets. Based on CAD financial assets and liabilities' magnitude, the Company does not have material sensitivity to CAD to USD exchange rates.

c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to the interest rate risk on its liabilities through its outstanding borrowings and the interest earned on cash balances. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and maintains an investment policy that focuses primarily on the preservation of capital and liquidity.

d) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in large Canadian financial institutions that have high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

a) On July 7, 2022, the Company closed its second and final tranche of its non-brokered private placement of unsecured debentures for gross proceeds of $925, and for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000.  The debentures bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum and mature on March 8, 2024. The debentures may be converted into shares of the company at $0.067 per share until July 8, 2023, and thereafter at $0.078 per share. The holder has the option to elect to be repaid in kind at any time prior to maturity of the debentures by way of shares the company owns of Falcon Blue (Note 5), or its successor, at the rate of $.025 per Falcon Butte share.

In connection with the sale of the debentures, the company issued to the purchasers one detachable warrant for every $0.067 of principal amount of the debentures. The company issued 13,805,964 warrants in connection with the second tranche of the debenture financing. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price of $0.067 for a period of 20 months.

b) On July 7, 2022, the Company issued 1,212,121 common shares of the Company for a deemed price of $0.0825 per share to settle $100 of annual maintenance fees to Houston Minerals Ltd. for the Chaco Bear and Ashton Properties.

c) On July 28, 2022, the TSX Venture Exchange accepted filing for the Company to issue 915,910 shares at a price of $0.067 ($0.085CAD) to settle outstanding debt of $61 ($78 CAD). The shares were issued on August 23, 2022.

g) Under U.S. federal securities laws, issuers must assess their foreign private issuer status as of the last business day of their second fiscal quarter. It was announced that more than 50% of the Company's common shares are held by U.S. shareholders, and the Company no longer meets the definition of a foreign private issuer under the United States securities laws. As a result, commencing in 2023, the Company will be required to use forms and rules prescribed for U.S. domestic companies, including the requirement that financial statements be presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP instead of IFRS. The Company's common shares will continue to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and quoted on the OTCQB.

During the six months ended June 30,2022, the balance of mineral properties decreased by $166,000. The decrease is mainly due to the Company entering into a property acquisition agreement to sell and assign its options to acquire the Butte Valley property to Falcon Butte Minerals Corp. (formerly 1301666 B.C. Ltd "Falcon Butte."), as a result the Company derecognized the property value of $1,198,000. The decrease is offset by the purchase of the Chaco Bear and Ashton Property from Houston Minerals Inc. on August 25, 2021, for 8,000,000 shares with a fair market value of $506,000.

Furthermore, On March 18, 2022, the Company entered into an Option to Earn-in Agreement with Rio Tinto America Inc. ("Rio Tinto") to advance studies and exploration at the Company's copper assets in Mason Valley, Nevada, see Option to Earn-in Agreement with Rio Tinto **** below for further details.

MacArthur Copper Project and Yerington Mine Property, Nevada

Located in the historic copper district of Yerington, Nevada, the Company's Yerington Copper Projects include the MacArthur Copper Project and Yerington Mine Property, which are 100% owned by Singatse Peak Services LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion CG.

The MacArthur Property consists of 897 unpatented lode claims totaling approximately 18,500 acres on lands administered by the U.S. Department of Interior - Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

Lion CG has a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource and has released a preliminary economic assessment for the MacArthur Project.

The MacArthur Project is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty (the "NSR") upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 1% NSR in consideration of $1,000,000.

The Yerington Mine Property covers approximately 11 square miles centered on the former Anaconda open pit copper mine. This includes 2,768 acres of fee simple parcels and patented mining claims as well as 208 unpatented lode and placer claims totaling approximately 4,300 acres on lands administered by the BLM.

Lion CG has a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource for the Yerington Mine Property and believes that the project has potential for additional copper resources. Historic and current drilling data indicate that horizontal and vertical limits to the mineralization at the Yerington Mine Property have not yet been found.

The Yerington Mine Property is subject to a 2% NSR upon commencing commercial production. The total lifetime royalty is capped at $7,500,000.

Bear Deposit, Nevada

The Bear deposit consists of approximately 2,300 acres of private land located to the northeast of the Yerington Mine Property.

The Company has five option agreements, entered from March 2013 to May 2015, to acquire a 100% interest in private land in Yerington, Nevada, collectively known as the Bear deposit. Under the terms of these option agreements, as amended, the Company is required to make $5,673,290 in cash payments over 15 years ($5,122,290 paid) to maintain the exclusive right to purchase the land, mineral rights, and certain water rights and to conduct mineral exploration on these properties. Two of the properties are subject to a 2% NSR upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 1% NSR in consideration of $1,250,000 total.

Outstanding payments to keep the five option agreements current are as follows, by year:

  • $193,000 due 2022 ($43,000 paid);
  • $201,000 due in 2023;
  • $50,000 due in years 2024 to 2028.

Page 4 of 21

**Lion Copper and Gold Corp.**Management's Discussion and Analysis For the six months ended June 30, 2022

Outstanding purchase payments under the five option agreements are as follows:

  • $1,115,000 for Taylor, purchase option expiring in 2023;
  • $250,000 for Chisum, purchase option expiring in 2023;
  • $5,000,000 for Yerington Mining, purchase option expiring in 2024;
  • $8,000,000 for Circle Bar N, purchase option expiring in 2024;
  • $18,020,000 for Desert Pearl Farms, purchase option expiring in 2029.

Wassuk, Nevada

The Wassuk property consists of 310 unpatented lode claims totaling approximately 6,400 acres on lands administered by the BLM.

On December 19, 2007, the Company entered into a Mining Lease with Option to Purchase, as further amended, to earn a 100% interest in certain unpatented mining claims in Lyon County, Nevada, and was required to make $1,405,000 in cash payments (paid) and incur a work commitment of $50,000 by December 31, 2021 (completed). During 2021, two final option payments were paid and form part of the total payments of $1,405,000. The Company has now satisfied all conditions required to execute the option to purchase.

The property is subject to a 3% NSR royalty upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 2% NSR in consideration of $1,500,000.

Groundhog Project, Alaska

On April 20, 2017, the Company signed an agreement (the "Agreement") with Chuchuna Minerals Company, an Alaska corporation, giving it an option to purchase a 90% interest in the Groundhog copper prospect, a 40,000-acre property located on an established copper porphyry belt, two hundred miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska.

The Groundhog claims cover the northern extension of a structural zone that hosts a number of porphyry copper-gold prospects, including the large Pebble porphyry copper, gold and molybdenum project, which is three miles south of the Groundhog claim boundary. To earn the 90% interest, the Company must fund a total of $5,000,000 ($2,724,000 funded) of exploration expenditures and make a lump sum payment to Chuchuna of $3,000,000 by the end of April 20, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the lease agreement was further extended from six to seven years, providing the Company more time to make the required exploration expenditures and lump sum payment. The Company can terminate the Agreement at its discretion.

The property is subject to a 1.75% NSR upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 0.875% NSR royalty in consideration of $25,000,000.

Butte Valley Prospect, Nevada

On January 26, 2022, the Company entered into a property acquisition agreement to sell and assign its options to acquire the Butte Valley property to Falcon Butte Minerals Corp. (formerly 1301666 B.C. Ltd., or "Falcon Butte") which is a private British Columbia company established to acquire mineral resource properties.

Pursuant to the agreement, Lion CG's 100% owned subsidiary Quaterra Alaska will be granted an equity position in Falcon Butte. In addition, Quaterra Alaska will maintain a 1.5% NSR on each of the Butte Valley optioned properties, which is subject to a buy-down to a 1.0% NSR in exchange for a payment of $7,500,000 per property.

On April 5, 2022, the Company completed the assignment of the two option agreements for the Butte Valley Property.

On April 13, 2022, the Company amended the assignment agreement. Pursuant to the addendum Falcon Butte will pay a total of $500,000 in exchange for a 0.5% buy-down and retirement of certain NSRs held by the Company.

  • issuing 8,000,000 common shares of the Company on closing (issued on March 17, 2022);

  • making annual lease payments on the Properties after 2021;

  • incurring CAD$150,000 of exploration expenditures on the Chaco Bear Property and CAD$50,000 of exploration expenditures on the Ashton Property before the end of 2021 (paid);

  • incurring exploration expenditures of at least the value of the annual assessment multiplied by 1.5 for periods after 2021 (claims were renewed and extended through to early 2025, resulting in no obligation on exploration expenditures until 2024);

  • paying CAD$1,500,000 for the Chaco Bear Property and CAD$1,000,000 for the Ashton Property on or before 4 years from the closing, which amounts are payable in cash or common shares of the Company; and

  • making annual advance royalty payments in the fourth and fifth year from the closing in the amounts of CAD$250,000 on the Chaco Bear Property and CAD$150,000 on the Ashton Property.

On September 17, 2021, the parties agreed to an amendment to the LOI to include a 2.5% NSR on each property. Prior to feasibility, the Company may reduce the NSR to 1.0% on the Chaco Bear Property in consideration for a payment of CAD$6,000,000 and 1.0% on the Ashton Property for a payment of CAD$3,000,000. Post feasibility, the Company may purchase the remaining 1.0% NSR on the Chaco Bear Property for CAD$12,000,000 and the remaining 1.0% NSR on the Ashton Property for CAD$6,000,000.

On January 26, 2022, the Company entered into an option agreement with Houston to replace the LOI. The consideration terms under the LOI are unchanged except that the term of the option has changed from a four-year period to a ten-year period and annual advance royalty payments in the amounts of CAD$250,000 on the Chaco Bear Property and CAD$150,000 on the Ashton Property are to be paid starting on the fifth year from closing through to the ninth year from closing instead of only in the fourth and fifth years from the closing. All other consideration terms remain unchanged.

In addition, commencing on January 31, 2022, and on January 31 of each year thereafter during the Option Period, Lion CG shall pay the following option maintenance fees to Houston: (a) CAD$60,000 in respect of the Chaco Bear Property; and (b) CAD$40,000 in respect of the Ashton Property.

Lion CG funded an initial work program in 2021 of CAD$200 on the properties in consideration for the grant of the option, and on March 16, 2022, the transaction was closed. The Company may exercise the Option for a period of up to ten years to acquire (i) the Chaco Bear property by paying CAD$1,500,000 to Houston, in cash or in common shares of the Company at the Company's option; and/or (ii) the Ashton Property by paying CAD$1,000,000 to Houston in cash or in common shares of the Company at the Company's option, and in either case common shares will be valued using the volume weighted average trading price of the Company's common shares for the twenty trading day period ending three trading days prior to the date of issuance of such Lion CG shares, with such cash payments being subject to a discount of between 5% and 15% based on the timing of exercise and cumulative exploration expenditures incurred as at the time of exercise. Houston will retain a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty on any of the Properties for which an Option has been exercised by the Company.

Blue Copper Prospect, Montana

During the year ended as of December 31, 2021, Blue Copper LLC (the Company's 100% owned subsidiary) acquired and staked a district scale exploration and resource discovery opportunity (the "Blue Copper Prospect"), comprising more than 7,430 acres in Powell County and Lewis & Clark County in Montana, USA. The area is prospective for high grade copper-gold skarns and porphyry copper-gold mineralization. The claim block encompasses a group of more than 14 historic small mines that produced high grade gold, copper and tungsten.

The Blue Copper Prospect, located approximately 25 miles WNW of Helena, Montana, is centered on the Late Cretaceous Blackfoot City Stock (the "BCS"), which was intruded into the Black Mountain syncline, composed primarily of a Paleozoic sequence of limestone, dolomite, shale and sandstone. The BCS crystallized at the same time as the nearby Boulder batholith, which is host to the world-famous Butte copper mines. The area is prospective for high grade copper-gold skarns and porphyry copper-gold mineralization.

The claim block encompasses a group of more than 14 historic small mines that produced high grade gold, copper and tungsten. Importantly, the streams draining the BCS have a recorded production of almost 200,000 ounces of placer gold through 1959, although the actual production was most likely much higher. Despite the extensive placer production, only one lode gold mine operated historically and produced less than 10,000 ounces. Several major companies conducted exploration programs in the area during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Company is currently acquiring, compiling and interpreting historic data to develop a 2022 work plan which will be provided when available.

As a part of the Blue Copper Prospect, Blue Copper LLC entered into a purchase agreement with Four O Six Mining & Exploration LLC to acquire certain existing and additional unpatented mining claims. In exchange for the unpatented mining claims, as part of the closing of the transaction, the Company issued 1,500,000 common shares of the capital of the Company and provided a NSR of 2% with a buy-down of 1% NSR for $1,500,000.

Blue Copper LLC has staked an additional 131 claims to expand the Blue Copper Prospect. The Company has provided a NSR of 2% with a buy-down of 1% NSR for $600,000 to Four O Six Mining & Exploration LLC for these claims.

On February 14, 2022, as a part of the Blue Copper Prospect transaction, the Company issued 1,500,000 common shares as part of the closing of the transaction.

Option to Earn-in Agreement with Rio Tinto

On March 18, 2022, the Company entered into an Option to Earn-in Agreement with Rio Tinto to advance studies and exploration at Lion CG's copper assets in Mason Valley, Nevada. Under the agreement, Rio Tinto has the option to earn a 65% interest in the assets, comprising 34,494 acres of land, including the historic Yerington mine, greenfield MacArthur Project, Wassuk property, the Bear deposit, and associated water rights (the "Mining Assets"). In addition, Rio Tinto will evaluate the potential commercial deployment of its Nuton™ technologies at the site. Nuton™ offers copper heap leaching technologies developed by Rio Tinto to deliver greater copper recovery from mined ore and access new sources of copper such as low-grade sulphide resources and reprocessing of stockpiles and mineralized waste. The technologies have the potential to deliver leading environmental performance through more efficient water usage, lower carbon emission, and the ability to reclaim mine sites by reprocessing waste.

The stages of the Agreement are set out below.

Stage 1 ****

Rio Tinto will pay up to four million U.S. dollars ($4,000,000) for an exclusive earn-in option and agreed-upon Mason Valley study and evaluation works to be completed by Lion CG no later than December 31, 2022 (paid).

**Lion Copper and Gold Corp.**Management's Discussion and Analysis For the six months ended June 30, 2022

Stage 2 ****

Within forty-five (45) days of the completion of Stage 1, Rio Tinto will provide notice to Lion CG whether Rio Tinto elects to proceed with Stage 2, upon which Rio Tinto will pay up to five million U.S. dollars ($5,000,000) for agreed-upon Mason Valley study and evaluation works to be completed by Lion CG within 12 months from the date that the parties agree upon the scope of Stage 2 work.

Stages 1 and 2 may be accelerated at Rio Tinto's option.

Stage 3 - Feasibility Study

Within sixty (60) days of the completion of Stage 2, Rio Tinto shall provide notice to Lion CG whether Rio Tinto will exercise its Option and fund a Feasibility Study based on the results of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 work programs. Rio Tinto will fully-fund the Feasibility Study and ancillary work completed by Lion CG in amount not to exceed fifty million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000).

Investment Decision

Upon completion of the Feasibility Study, Rio Tinto and Lion CG will decide whether to create an investment vehicle into which the Mining Assets will be transferred, with Rio Tinto holding not less than a 65% interest in the investment vehicle.

• If Rio Tinto elects to not to create the investment vehicle, then Lion CG shall grant to Rio Tinto a 1.5% NSR on the Mining Assets.

• If Rio Tinto elects to create the investment vehicle but Lion CG elects not to create the investment vehicle, then, at Rio Tinto's option, Lion CG shall create the investment vehicle and Rio Tinto will purchase Lion CG's interest in the investment vehicle for fair market value.

Project Financing

• Following the formation of the investment vehicle, any project financing costs incurred will be funded by Rio Tinto and Lion CG in proportion to their respective ownership interest in the investment vehicle.

• Rio Tinto may elect to fund up to sixty million U.S. dollars ($60,000,000) of Lion CG 's project financing costs in exchange for a 10% increase in Rio Tinto's ownership percentage. In addition, upon mutual agreement of Rio Tinto and Lion CG, Rio Tinto may fund an additional forty million U.S. dollars ($40,000,000) of Lion CG's project financing costs in exchange for an additional 5% increase in Rio Tinto's ownership percentage.

• If Lion CG's ownership percentage in the investment vehicle is diluted to 10% or less, then Lion CG's ownership interest will be converted into a 1% uncapped NSR.

On April 27, 2022, the Company TSX Venture Exchange approved the Company's Option to Earn-in Agreement with Rio Tinto America Inc.

On May 17, 2022, Rio Tinto approved the Stage 1 Work Program and provided $4,000,000 to the Company for the development of the Mason Valley projects, which are currently in progress.

  • MacArthur Copper Project Resource Estimate

On February 25, 2022, the Company announced the results of an updated mineral resource estimate for the MacArthur Copper Project located in Mason Valley, Nevada. The mineral resource estimate was prepared pursuant to NI 43-101 by Independent Mining Consultants of Tucson, Arizona.

The resource estimate includes total contained copper within a pit shell using a variable recovery of four relevant oxidation material types.

Highlights:

a) Measured and Indicated Resource: 300,331,000 tons, grading 0.167% TCu containing 1,000,408,000 pounds of  total copper.

b) Inferred Resource: 156,450,000 tons, grading 0.151% TCu containing 471,714,000 pounds of total copper

c) The updated mineral resource estimate results in an increase of over 55% of the Measured and Indicated Resource compared to the prior resource estimate as constrained within the 2014 PEA pit design (MacArthur Copper Project Amended NI 43-101 Technical Report Preliminary Economic Assessment, January 17, 2014).

d) The oxide and transition mineralized envelope of the deposit is confirmed to be open to the south-southeast. Additional sulfide mineralization remains open to the north and east.

  • Mineral Resource Estimate

The updated Measured and Indicated and Inferred Resources for the MacArthur Copper Project are reported in Table 1 as set out below. The changes to the mineral resource are based on the 2021 infill drill and assay program, updated geology shapes, and updated metallurgical review and analyses.

(%) = percent, TCu = total copper, lbs = pounds, Ktons = short tons x 1000

  1. The cutoff grades used for reporting the mineral resources are at or above the internal cutoff grades of between 0.03% and 0.06% TCu for the Leach Cap, Oxide and Transition zones. The sulphide zone internal cutoff grades are 0.06% TCu for the MacArthur and North zones and 0.08% TCu for Gallagher because of a higher acid consumption.

  2. Mr. Herbert E. Welhener, MMSA-QPM, an employee of Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. is the Qualified Person for the Mineral Resource estimate.

  3. The "reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction" shape has been created based on a copper price of US$3.75/lb, employment of heap leach extraction methods, processing costs of US$1.56 or $2.20 per short ton, and mining costs of $1.92/short ton for rock and $1.46/short ton alluvium, a variable copper recovery, and tonnage factor of 12.5 cubic feet per short ton for in situ rock.

  4. Rounding as required by Best Practices established by the CIM reporting guidelines may result in slight apparent differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content.

Cautionary Note to Investors

While the terms "measured (mineral) resource," "indicated (mineral) resource" and "inferred (mineral) resource" are recognized and required by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, investors are cautioned that except for that portion of mineral resources classified as mineral reserves, mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be upgraded into mineral reserves. Additionally, investors are cautioned that inferred mineral resources have a high degree of uncertainty as to their existence, as to whether they can be economically or legally mined or will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

**Lion Copper and Gold Corp.**Management's Discussion and Analysis For the six months ended June 30, 2022
  • Resource Estimate Methodology

Drill Hole Database

The resource estimate was completed using data from 747 drill holes for a total of 299,045 feet drilled. These holes include 23 holes drilled in 2021; 10 as infill holes and 13 holes drilled for metallurgical samples. The total of core drilling is 64,681 ft in 102 holes and the total rotary drilling is 234,360 ft in 636 holes.

Geologic Model

The MacArthur Project is an oxidized portion of a porphyry copper system that has been subjected to several weathering, oxidization and enrichment cycles. The copper mineralization is hosted in altered and weathered Middle Jurassic granodiorite and quartz monzonite intruded by west-northwesterly-trending, moderate to steeply north-dipping quartz porphyry dike swarms.

The geology of the deposit has been interpreted on forty-one north-south sections and on thirty-three east-west sections. The deposit was interpreted into four mineral type zones and definition completed as three-dimensional digital models.

Both lithology and oxidization states have been incorporated into the block model based upon geologic domains developed from the drill hole geologic logs. The oxidization zones of leach cap, oxide, transition, and sulphide have been incorporated into the block model and are used as boundaries for the estimation of total copper grades using an inverse distance cubed estimation method. Surfaces of the oxidation zones have been used to create domain boundaries and used to code the assay, composite, and block model. The block model has been created to encompass all of the drill holes available, within 25ft x 25ft x 25ft (vertical) blocks. In plan view, the resource block model covers an area of 14,500 ft in the north-south direction and 18,100 ft in the east-west direction. The block model encompasses three copper mineralization deposits: MacArthur, North Area and Gallagher.

The mineral resource is tabulated within a defined open pit shell based on economic inputs developed from the metallurgical test work and engineering completed on the project to date. The pit shell economics are based on the premise that the Project will employ a heap leach, SX-EW recovery process. The shapes created by open pit optimization software used the following parameters:

• Copper price = US$3.75/lb

• Leach Cap - recovery of total copper grade = 60%

• Oxide zone - recovery of total copper grade = 71%

• Transition zone - recovery of total copper grade = 65%

• Sulphide zone - recovery of total copper grade = 40%

Block Model Validation

The model was validated through comparisons of grades, grade distribution and tonnage-grade curves of the ID grades with the distribution of drill hole composited grades.

  • Water Rights Sale

On February 24, 2021, the Company announced a purchase and sale agreement to sell certain primary groundwater rights to Desert Pearl Farms LLC ("Desert Pearl"), a Yerington-based company involved in agriculture, for $2,910,000 (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement"). In early March 2021, the Company filed an application with the State of Nevada Division of Water Resources ("NDWR") to change the manner of use of the water rights from mining to agriculture and their place of use ("Change Application"). Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Desert Pearl made a $1,000,000 initial payment to the Company on March 5, 2021. The Purchase and Sale Agreement was subject to the NDWR's final approval of the Change Application. The primary water rights covered under the Purchase and Sale Agreement are one of the water rights that are the subject of forfeiture, as discussed in the next paragraph.

Page 11 of 21

**Lion Copper and Gold Corp.**Management's Discussion and Analysis For the six months ended June 30, 2022

On July 23, 2021, the Company received a notice from the State of Nevada that three water rights permits had been forfeited. Further, that the application for an extension of time to prevent forfeiture of a fourth certificate was denied. The permits affected are components of the Purchase and Sale Agreement announced on February 24, 2021.

On August 20, 2021, the Company filed a Petition for Judicial Review of the Forfeiture Notice and has retained legal counsel to initiate and vigorously undertake the appeal process. The appeal process is ongoing.

On May 25, 2022, the Company and Desert Pearl amicably terminated the Purchase and Sale Agreement between the parties in light of the Company's agreement with Rio Tinto.  As a consequence of the termination, the Company retains the water permit that is subject to forfeiture and designated for mining and milling use. The $1,000,000 deposit was returned to Desert Pearl Farms on June 20, 2022.

  • Investment in associate

On April 5, 2022, the Company received 16,049,444 shares in Falcon Butte Minerals Corp. (formerly 1301666 BC Ltd., "Falcon Butte"), which is a private British Columbia company established to acquire mineral resource properties, in connection with a property acquisition agreement to assign the Company's options to acquire the Butte Valley property.  At the time of acquisition, the 16,049,444 shares represented 25.54% of shares outstanding, or 20.48% of the potential voting rights of Falcon Butte which includes unexercised warrants, and as at June 30, 2022, the Company's share ownership was reduced to 22.77%, and potential voting rights were diluted to 17.14%.  The Company and Falcon Butte have two common directors and executives, as such, management has assessed that the Company has significant influence over Falcon Butte and that the investment should be accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

The opening balance of the investment was determined to be $1,906,000 ($2,374,000 CAD) which represents the fair value of the shares received. The value of the shares was determined based on Falcon Butte's financing that closed concurrently with the property acquisition. The Company's share of net loss for the period was $31,000. The portion of net loss attributable to the Company was determined using the percentage of voting rights held by the Company throughout the period.

Proposed Transactions

The Company has no proposed transactions other than as disclosed in this MD&A.

All values are in US Dollars.

For the six months ended June 30,2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $301,000 compared to a net loss of $1,174,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease in net loss of $873,000 is primarily due to the sale of the Butte Valley property to Falcon Butte. The Company received 16,049,444 common shares of Falcon Butte with a fair value of $1,906,000 and $500 cash for the property, resulting in a gain on sale of $1,208,000. Pursuant to an addendum to the agreement with Falcon Butte, Falcon Butte will pay a total of $500,000 in exchange for a 0.5% buy-down and retirement of certain NSR, as of June 30, 2022, $250,000 has been received and included in loss and comprehensive loss for the period.  The increase is partially offset by the $268,000 unrealized gain on marketable securities recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to an increase in the fair value of the Company's investment in Grande Portage Resources Ltd; the investment was sold during the 2021-year end; therefore, there is no similar gain or loss in the current quarter. Variances within expense items are summarized as follows:

  • Increase in General office of $43,000 is due to fees incurred in connection to website upgrades and use of geological modelling software and increased administrative costs.

  • Increase in professional fees of $281,000 is primarily due to legal fees incurred in connection with the purchase of the Chaco Bear and Ashton property, sale of the Butte Valley property, and option to earn-in agreement with Rio Tinto America Inc. The Company also incurred fees for the valuation of the Butte Valley property and transaction based strategic consulting.

All values are in US Dollars.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net income of $524,000 compared to a net loss of $742,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The increase in net income of $1,266,000 is primarily due to the sale of the Butte Valley property to Falcon Butte. The Company received 16,049,444 common shares of Falcon Butte with a fair value of $1,906,000 and $500,000 cash for the property, resulting in a gain on sale of $1,208,000. Pursuant to an addendum to the agreement with Falcon Butte, Falcon Butte will pay a total of $500,000 in exchange for a 0.5% buy-down and retirement, as of June 30, 2022, $250,000 has been received and included in loss and comprehensive loss for the period.  The increase is partially offset by the $397,000 unrealized gain on marketable securities recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to an increase in the fair value of the Company's investment in Grande Portage Resources Ltd.  The investment was sold during the 2021-year end; therefore, there is no similar gain or loss in the current quarter. Variances within expense items are summarized as follows:

  • Increase in General office of $46,000 is due to is due use of geological modelling software and increased administrative costs.

  • Increase in professional fees of $84,000 is due to legal fees incurred in connection with the sale of the Butte Valley property to Falcon Butte and transaction based strategic consulting.

  • Decrease in share-based payments of $323,000 is due to the Company granting 9,000,000 options with an exercise price $0.095 in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 4,950,000 options with an exercise price of $0.245 during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Summary of Quarterly Financial Information

The scale and nature of the Company's corporate and administrative activity have remained consistent over the periods presented, except for Q3 and Q4 2021 in which the increase in general and administration expenses is due to the hiring of executives, consultants, and the increase of marketing activity.  The Company entered into a number of transactions during the current quarter which resulted in a net income for the period ended June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30,2022, the Company sold its' Butte Valley property to Falcon Butte for 16,049,444 common shares of Falcon Butte with a fair value of $1,906,000 and $500,000 cash for the property, resulting in a gain on sale of $1,208,000. Pursuant to an addendum to the agreement with Falcon Butte, Falcon Butte will also pay a total of $500,000 in exchange for a 0.5% buy-down and retirement, as of June 30, 2022, $250,000 has been received and included in loss and comprehensive loss for the period. These gains have partially been offset by a loss in investment in associate of $31,000 which is the portion of Falcon Butte's loss that is attributable to the Company, see Performance Highlights for further details.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is an exploration stage company that has not earned any production revenue. Its operations have been dependent mainly on the option agreement with Rio- Tinto and private placements in the last few years without diluting shareholders' value. The Company may have capital requirements in excess of its currently available resources. In the event the Company's plans change, its assumptions change or prove inaccurate, or its capital resources in addition to projected cash flow, if any, prove to be insufficient to fund operations, the Company may be required to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient financing to meet its future capital requirements or that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company in the future.

The following table summarizes the Company's cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

(In thousands of U.S dollars) Six Months ended June 30, 2022 Six Months ended June 30, 2022
Cash used in operating activities $ (3,706 ) $ 284
Cash used in investing activities 4,479 (643 )
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities 1,175 279
Increase (decrease) in cash 1,948 (80 )
Cash, beginning of period 842 701
Cash, end of period $ 2,790 $ 621

As at June 30,2021, the Company had cash of $2,790,000 (December 31,2021 - $ 842,000) and a working capital deficit of $110,000 (December 31,2021 - $522,000).  The decrease in working capital deficit of $412,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, is primarily due to the increase in cash of $1,948,000 and decrease in accounts payable of $1,137,000. The increase cash is primarily due to the $4,000,000 received from Rio Tinto under Option to Earn-in agreement and the $1,075,000 cash proceeds raise under the Company's private placement of unsecured convertible debentures. These increases are partially offset by $2,281,000 of the Rio Tinto proceeds that have yet to be spent on the Stage 1 work program (Rio Tinto Deposit).

**Lion Copper and Gold Corp.**Management's Discussion and Analysis For the six months ended June 30, 2022

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had convertible debentures with a fair value of $1,075,000 and a book value of $905,000. The debentures bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum and mature on February 17, 2024 and are convertible into shares of the Company at $0.067 per share until June 17, 2023 and thereafter at $0.078 per share. The holder also has the option to elect at any time prior to the election date to be repaid by way of shares the Company owns of Falcon Butte at the rate of $0.25 per Falcon Butte share.

The Company has no operating revenues and therefore must utilize its cashflows from financing transactions to maintain its capacity to meet ongoing operating activities.

Pursuant to Exchange policies, RSUs granted prior to shareholder approval of the RSU Plan must be specifically approved by a vote of shareholders excluding the votes of the holders of the Restricted Share Units. As a result of these pending approvals, the RSUs cannot commence vesting any earlier than on date of receipt of the same.

Risks Factors and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to many risks and uncertainties, each of which could have an adverse effect on the results, business prospects or financial position.

The board of directors has overall responsibility for establishing and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts payable and derivative liabilities.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company's activities expose it to financial risks of varying degrees of significance, which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns. The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and commodity price risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework and reviews the Company's policies on an ongoing basis.

The investment in Falcon Bute is considered to represent a level 3 fair value measurement.

a) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. To mitigate this risk, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to determine the funds required to support its ongoing operations and capital expenditures. The Company ensures that sufficient funds are raised from equity offerings or debt financings to meet its operating requirements, after considering existing cash and expected exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants.

b) Currency risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in the United States and Canada; therefore, it is exposed to currency risk from transactions denominated in CAD. Currently, the Company does not have any foreign exchange hedge programs and manages its operational CAD requirements through spot

purchases in the foreign exchange markets. Based on CAD financial assets and liabilities' magnitude, the Company does not have material sensitivity to CAD to USD exchange rates.

c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to the interest rate risk on its liabilities through its outstanding borrowings and the interest earned on cash balances. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and maintains an investment policy that focuses primarily on the preservation of capital and liquidity.

Page 19 of 21

**Lion Copper and Gold Corp.**Management's Discussion and Analysis For the six months ended June 30, 2022

d) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in large Canadian financial institutions that have high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

Subsequent Events

a) On July 7, 2022, the Company closed its second and final tranche of its non-brokered private placement of unsecured debentures for gross proceeds of $925,000, and for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000.  The debentures bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum and mature on March 8, 2024. The debentures may be converted into shares of the company at $0.067 per share until July 8, 2023, and thereafter at $0.078 per share. The holder has the option to elect to be repaid in kind at any time prior to maturity of the debentures by way of shares the company owns of Falcon Blue, or its successor, at the rate of $.025 per Falcon Butte share.

In connection with the sale of the debentures, the company issued to the purchasers one detachable warrant for every $0.067 of principal amount of the debentures. The company issued 13,805,964 warrants in connection with the second tranche of the debenture financing. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price of $0.067 for a period of 20 months.

b) On July 7, 2022, the Company issued 1,212,121 common shares of the Company for a deemed price of $0.0825 per share to settle $100,000 of annual maintenance fees to Houston Minerals Ltd. for the Chaco Bear and Ashton Properties.

c) On July 28, 2022, the TSX Venture Exchange accepted filing for the Company to issue 915,910 shares at a price of $0.067 ($0.085CAD) to settle outstanding debt of $61,366 ($77,852 CAD). The shares were issued on August 23, 2022.

d) On July 28, 2022, the Company issued 1,333,333 common shares of the Company to the CEO for the first tranche of RSUs that vested on June 3, 2022.

e) On August 11, 2022, the Company received $250,000 from Falcon Butte for the final royalty buy-down and retirement of certain NSRs relating to the Butte Valley property.

f) On August 20, 2022, the Company granted 2,394,283 incentive stock options to consultants and one director of the Company, exercisable at a price of USD$0.055 (CAD$0.072) for a period of three years.

g) Under U.S. federal securities laws, issuers must assess their foreign private issuer status as of the last business day of their second fiscal quarter. It was announced that more than 50% of the Company's common shares are held by U.S. shareholders, and the Company no longer meets the definition of a foreign private issuer under the United States securities laws. As a result, commencing in 2023, the Company will be required to use forms and rules prescribed for U.S. domestic companies, including the requirement that financial statements be presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP instead of IFRS. The Company's common shares will continue to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and quoted on the OTCQB.

The Company has not entered any off-balance sheet arrangements.
