Troilus is located in the top-rated mining jurisdiction of Quebec, Canada, where it holds a strategic land position of 435 km² in the Frotêt- Evans Greenstone Belt. Since acquiring the project in 2017, ongoing exploration success has demonstrated the tremendous scale potential of the gold system on the property with significant mineral resource growth.
From 1996 to 2010, the Troilus Mine produced +2 million ounces of gold and nearly 70,000 tonnes of copper.
The Company is advancing engineering studies toward a Feasibility Study targeted for late 2023. A PEA in 2020, demonstrated the potential for the Troilus project to become a top-ranked gold and copper-producing asset in Canada. Led by an experienced team with a track record of successful mine development, Troilus is positioned to become a cornerstone project in North America. |

As a mine site under development, Troilus is engaged in the permitting process for the Environment & Social Impact Study which commenced in 2022 at the provincial and federal level.

The Troilus project is located on lands that are the traditional territory of the Cree Nation. Troilus is committed to working closely with the families and communities that use the land to ensure its long-term health and sustainability.
The Troilus project is subject to known and unknown risks of the mining industry, including without limitation, risks and uncertainties discussed in the company’s most recent 43-101 Technical Report, annual information form, financial statements, and MD&A, as well as other continuous disclosure documents available under the Company’s profile at www. sedar.com. |

Embedding policy commitments |
|
|
Describe how the organization embeds each of its policy commitments for responsible business conduct throughout its activities and business relationships |
Troilus has embedded its policy commitments for responsible business conduct at the most senior level of the organization. The ESG Committee of the Board affirms the company's commitments through the Sustainable Development Policy and other governance policies which all employees are required to review and acknowledge in writing.
As a member of the UN Global Compact, Troilus has committed to an annual affirmation from the CEO and to complete the annual Communication on Progress to document the company's efforts to adhere to the 17 SDGs.
As a recipient of the ECOLOGO certification, Troilus must renew its commitment every three years and is subject to external audit to affirm best practices (most recently completed in 2022). |

Troilus is not in production, has no revenues, no customers, no waste generated, no suppliers. Operating in northern Canada, concerns such as artisanal mining, child labour, forced labour, human rights abuses are not an issue and are strictly governed by Canadian law. At Troilus our focus is on the health and safety of our employees at site, engagement with local communities, environmental permitting and planning for a sustainable future mine site. |

Report changes to the list of material topics compared to the previous reporting period |
Child labour, forced labour, and collective bargaining have moved to material topics compared to the previous reporting period. None of these are an issue for Troilus which operates in a single jurisdiction (Canada) where such issues are strongly protected under the legal framework. However, since the last reporting period we have specifically stated our commitment to these issues in our policies. |

The entity shall discuss its long-term and short-term strategy or plan to manage its Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions |
The majority of energy used to operate the Troilus site comes from renewable sources (hydroelectricity in Northern Quebec). Troilus currently generates Scope 1 GHG emissions from the use of gasoline used for vehicle transport, diesel used in generators and drilling at site, and propane used for heating the camp facilities.
In 2022, Troilus conducted an audit of GHG emissions generated since inception in 2018 and is currently developing a roadmap to minimize GHG emissions for the future with the objective of building a carbon-neutral mining operation. |

Disclose the approach to the development of Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans (EPRPs) |
Troilus is a closed mine site but also in the exploration and development stage pending a potential restart of the mine. Camp facilities typically house 25-65 occupants who are engaged in exploration and development activities. Troilus maintains an Emergency Preparedness Response Plan to ensure the health and safety of employees and external contractors at site. |

Describe nature of spending on Research, Development and Technologies for waste management compliance and improvement |
In 2022, Troilus had expenditures for the design of the future tailings facility that will be used once the mine is restarted. The focus of the expenditures has been to develop a tailings facility that will be safe, long-lasting, and have a minimal environmental footprint. Troilus also had research expenditures for programs to better understand and manage future waste rock. These studies will have an impact on water quality in the future. |

The Troilus mine previously operated from 1996-2010 and as such has a closed tailings facility which discharges water into the environment. The water from the tailings facility is monitored and tested. There is a water treatment facility adjacent to the Tailings. However, at this time most of the water being discharged from the Tailings facility is in compliance without treatment required and can be discharged into the environment. In certain instances where the water is not in compliance it is treated before being released into the environment. |

Workers who are not employees |
|
|
Describe the most common types of worker and their contractual relationship with the organization |
The Company has service agreements with external companies to supply staffing at the project site that will fluctuate throughout the year depending on the level of activity. The Company does not have a direct contractual relationship with these workers, but with the service provider (i.e. a drilling company). They are typically paid an hourly wage by the service provider. |

Describe the methodologies and assumptions used to compile the information about workers who are not employees. |
The scale of the organization is small so the information is compiled by a simple head count at year end. The number of workers who are not employees may fluctuate during the year depending on the level of activity at the project site (currently this would entail drilling & exploration) |

i. How have these hazards been determined |
As a past producer, Troilus is a closed mine site and hazards exist related to the past workings including two open mine pits that are filled with water, waste piles, aging infrastructure, a tailings facility.
The mine site is located in northern Quebec which is subject to extreme weather which can include extreme cold, accumulation of snow and ice in winter months, melting ice in spring, forest fires in the summer.
Troilus is engaged in exploration and development activities which includes field exploration, drilling, core cutting, road maintenance, etc. The physical nature of the work at the Troilus site can create hazards for employees and contractors. |

|
|
|
|
|
iii. Actions taken or underway to eliminate these hazards and minimize risks using the hierarchy of controls |
Troilus maintains strict safety protocols and procedures to ensure the health and safety of all employees and service providers. Troilus maintains a health and safety manual that is updated annually and includes emergency evacuation procedures in the event of a threat to the physical site such as a forest fire.
All staff, contractors, and visitors to site are required to participate in a safety briefing. Visitors to the site must report to the camp manager and basic health information is gathered. Troilus ensures there is always staff on shift who have received emergency response training and in 2022, a full-time nurse is always on site. |

Report on actions taken or underway to eliminate other work-related hazards and minimize risks using the hierarchy of controls |
With the exception of a 6 week period at the beginning of the global pandemic in 2020, Troilus has remained in operation. In 2022, Troilus continued to monitor public health guidance and ensured protocols were in place to minimize the risk of the spread of COVID-19 amongst staff and contractors at site. This included physical modifications of common areas to allow for social distancing, health questionnaire, and testing in advance of arrival at site, isolation rooms in the event of symptoms, and increased cleaning and hygiene protocols. In 2022, the Company employed a full-time nurse at the project site on a 24/7 basis. |

Describe the nature of any social risks, for all operating countries, that could have a material risk to operations |
We have identified a key social risk is engagement with First Nations (Cree) as the Troilus Project is located on traditional Cree territory.
We have extensive ongoing engagement with the Cree Nation and align ourselves with the James Bay Agreement signed between the Government of Quebec and the Cree Nation.
In 2018, Troilus entered into a Pre- Development Agreement with the Cree Nation which serves as a precursor to a future Impact & Benefits Agreement. The PDA provides a framework for communication and cooperation between Troilus and the Cree Nation. In 2022, Troilus commenced the first community consultations as part of its Environmental and Social Impact Assessment which is required at the federal and provincial government levels to proceed to construction and eventually production. |

As Troilus is not yet in production it is premature to set targets. However, Troilus considers climate-related issues at its current stage of development to design a future mining operation that will seek to minimize climate impacts. This includes considerations on future energy sources, vehicle fleet, etc. |

Yes |

As Troilus is still in the exploration and development stage, climate-related risks and opportunities are not significant. The Company's focus with regard to climate-related risks and opportunities is to design a future mining operation that takes these into account. The Company believes that decisions it makes now regarding the design of the mine site can have a significant impact on the operation's climate impact. |

Potential impact financial figure and explanation |
The Troilus mine site is located in northern Quebec. With rising global temperatures, summer wildfires have become an increasing risk and are expected to happen from time to time although the frequency is unpredictable and will depend on weather patterns. At the Company's current state of development, wildfires could cause a temporary shutdown of operations for the health and safety of staff. As Troilus does not have any production as yet, there would be no impact on revenues but this could be a factor in the future. |

Cost of response to risk and description |
Temporary suspension of activities at site. Financial cost would be minimal since the company is not yet in production and does not generate revenue. The cost is the delay of work in advancing to relevant technical milestones since drilling and exploration cannot take place when there is a risk from wildfires. |

Potential impact financial figure and explanation |
The mineral deposit at the Troilus mine includes copper, a strategic metal necessary for the energy transition. Estimated revenue will depend on copper pricing at the time of production. During its previous operation from 1996 to 2010, the Troilus mine produced 70,000 tonnes of copper. |

Cost and strategy to realize opportunity and explanation of cost calculation |
The mineral resource at the Troilus site is gold and copper. Copper is considered a key mineral in the drive to develop renewable energy technologies. As the energy transition continues to unfold, new sources of copper supply are expected to become increasingly valued. The current mineral resource estimate indicates that once in production the Troilus mine would be the biggest copper producer in Quebec and one of the biggest in Canada. Engineering and design for the future mine operation is currently underway which will include maximizing copper extraction. |

Troilus is connected to the provincial electricity grid and the source of power is hydroelectricity. Troilus is currently working with the provincial utility to maximize use of hydroelectricity at site, including the infrastructure to support an electric vehicle fleet. Troilus has engaged an alternative energy consultant who specializes in helping mining companies in remote locations such as the Canadian north. The consultant is assisting Troilus to identify opportunities to supplement hydroelectric power with other non-fossil fuel sources as the company designs the future mine with an objective of a carbon neutral operation. |

Water is tested daily internally and results are shared with the provincial regulator. Water from the tailings facility is treated as needed, although at this time it rarely requires any treatment.
Upcoming plans to dewater the existing mine pits have assessed the impact this will have on the surrounding environment and relevant permits to proceed with dewatering are in place. |

Water scarcity or supply is not an issue for Troilus. However, ensuring the highest standards of water management is a top priority. Troilus is located in a remote area of northern Quebec. The location of the mine site is on traditional indigenous lands that are used by indigenous families for hunting and fishing. The area also hosts flora and fauna. Troilus works closely in consultation with indigenous families to ensure that any future mining operations will not adversely impact water quality in the region. |

If water-related issues are integrated into any aspects of your long-term strategic business plan, please describe further |
The two formerly mined pits at site are full of water from years of rain accumulation and snow melt. Troilus has been granted a permit to commence dewatering of the pits as part of its exploration activities. To date, water has only been moved from the smaller pit (which was threatening to overflow) to the larger pit. In 2023, the Company plans to begin removing water from the smaller pit, treating it and releasing it into the environment. This will facilitate exploration at the bottom of the pits once they are empty. In the future, the pits will need to be entirely dewatered as the mineral resources are found beneath and around the existing pits. Troilus tests the water in the pits regularly and has done extensive planning and consultations regarding the flow and dispersal of the water to be removed from the pits, including with the indigenous land users.
As part of its long term strategic planning, water management issues are being considered and incorporated into the design of the future mine to minimize environmental impacts including diversion of water, run off from waste pails, treatment of water from the tailings facility, and recycling of water. Water management is a major issue of focus for the indigenous peoples impacted by the mine site so their guidance and input is being incorporated into the design. |

The CEO, VP of Corporate Affairs, VP of Environment and Director HR engage with stakeholders directly on community consultations, environmental permitting, local procurement.
In late 2021, Troilus commenced its environmental permitting process at the federal and provincial levels of government. The process began with pre- consultation sessions to identify stakeholder's priority issues they would like to see addressed during the extensive consultation period to come. The consultation process is designed and monitored by the government to ensure all stakeholders have a voice. |

Stakeholder Engagement |
|
|
Report the purpose of the stakeholder engagement |
The purpose of stakeholder engagement at Troilus is to identify actual and potential impacts on the environment, people, communities and health & safety. Since Troilus is still in the exploration & development stage, the Company considers stakeholder engagement an opportunity to incorporate knowledge, experience and concerns of those who are and will be impacted by the development of the mine over its life cycle and beyond. Stakeholder engagement is required from a regulatory perspective in order to obtain a license to operate. Troilus is currently conducting its Environmental and Social Impact Assessment which will allow the Company to advance to a construction and production decision. |
