1. INTRODUCTION

This Management Discussion and Analysis (''MD&A") for the second quarter and six-months period ended June 30, 2024, has been prepared as at August 14, 2024, and contains certain "forward-looking statements" under the Canadian securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included herein, including without limitation statements regarding potential mineralization, exploration results, plans and objectives of DFR Gold Inc. ("DFR Gold", "DFR" or "the Company" or together with its subsidiaries, "the Group"), are forward-looking statements that involve various risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with DFR's condensed consolidated financial statements for the second quarter and six-months period ended June 30, 2024 (the "Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements are unaudited and have not been reviewed by the Company's external auditors.

The Company changed its name from Diamond Fields Resources Inc. to DFR Gold Inc. effective January 30, 2023.

1. Geopolitical and political situation

The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Moreover, the armed conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip in the Mediterranean has entered a critical phase, and further exacerbated by the bombing by Iran. In addition to the human toll, the war is increasingly affecting economic and global financial markets and exacerbating ongoing economic challenges, including issues such as rising inflation and global supply-chain disruption. Additionally, the Countries where the Company conducts exploration in West Africa and the nearby region continue to experience civil unrest and/or warfare including civilians attacks, though there has been no direct threat to the Company's assets, the situation is likely to affect the Company's ability to raise funds for its exploration projects.

Similarly, though the Company's activities have so far not been significantly affected by the situation in eastern Europe, West Africa and Middle East, management believes that the nature and duration of uncertain and unpredictable events, such as additional sanctions on Russia, instability and reactions to ongoing developments by global financial markets may have implications on the Company's financing activities.

1. Material events following the end of the reporting period

There has been no material event since the end of the reporting period which would require disclosure or adjustment to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the second quarter and six-months period ended June 30, 2024.

1. Management's responsibility for financial reporting

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by management who, when necessary, have made informed judgements and estimates of the outcome of events and transactions, with due consideration given to materiality. Management acknowledges its responsibility for the fairness, integrity and objectivity of all information in the consolidated financial statements.

1. INTRODUCTION (CONTINUED)

1. Management's responsibility for financial reporting

As a means of executing its responsibility, management relies on the Company's system of internal control. This system has been established to ensure, within reasonable limits, that the assets are safeguarded, transactions are properly recorded and are executed in accordance with management's authorization. In addition, the system ensures that the accounting records provide a solid foundation from which to prepare the consolidated financial statements.

The Board of directors carries out its responsibility for the consolidated financial statements principally through its Audit Committee, consisting solely of non-management directors. This committee makes its recommendations to the Board of directors. Based on those recommendations, the Board of directors approves the consolidated financial statements.

1. Material uncertainty - reliance on shareholders' support

The Company has been funding its activities through loans and capital injections mainly from its substantial shareholders. The Company reported an accumulated deficit of $82,895,283 (June 30, 2023: $80,375,822) and incurred net losses of $816,648 and $1,526,448 (2023: $1,611,664 and $2,920,766) during the second quarter and six-months period ended June 30, 2024. Inability to obtain shareholders support would cast doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Cascades (Gold) - Burkina Faso.

The Company's 80% controlled subsidiary, Moydow Holdings Limited ("Moydow"), holds two exclusive options for the Cascades project. During the current reporting period, the Company and the license holder entered into an agreement to extend the deadline to exercise the WUO Land option from May 27, 2024 to the first anniversary of the amendment, that is June 8, 2025. The WUO Land exploration permit has been renewed until March 5, 2027 and the area of the permit has been reduced by 25% from 61km2 to 46km2 in accordance with existing laws. The option for the WUO Land 2 exploration permit covering 243 km2 of ground in the Banfora greenstone belt in southwest Burkina Faso and contiguous to the WUO Land exploration permit has been exercised through the payment of $300,000 on February 9, 2024 and the process to apply for the 2nd three-year renewal has started and the application submitted 90 days prior to the expiry date, November 12, 2024.

Data for over 65,000 meters of historical drilling has been acquired by Moydow from previous option holders. The Company's subsidiary undertook a confirmatory twin and infill drilling campaign, consisting of 4,739 metres reverse circulation ("RC") drilling in 2021, following which a maiden resource statement was published. Moydow completed 4,975 meters of RC drilling program in August 2022, started prior to its acquisition by DFR, and further 5,641 meters of RC drilling in 2023. Combining the historic drilling data, and drilling performed from 2021 onwards, the Cascades project counts in excess of 80,000 meters of drilling. A NI 43-101 compliant technical report announced by the Company on October 25, 2021, and amended on April 20, 2022, reported:

• Indicated resource of 5.41 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.52 g/t AU for a total 264,000 ounces of gold; and,
• Inferred resource of 6.93 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.67 g/t Au for a total of 371,000 ounces of gold.

Gurara, Nigeria (Gold).

The Company acquired, in June 2022, a 25.5% indirect interest in various gold exploration projects in Nigeria (as part of the Moydow transaction), where historically very little systematic, modern exploration has been undertaken. The projects are located within the gold-bearing ("Schist Belt") terrain of the Benin-Nigeria Shield, which has broad similarities to the Birimian of the Man Shield of West Africa. The Company announced on May 7, 2024, agreements with Panthera Resources Plc., pursuant to which the Company increased its interest in the Gurara project to 51% and disposed of its 40% participating interest in the Kalaka project (see below).

Kalaka (Gold) - Mali.

The Company acquired, on June 28, 2022, a 40% indirect interest in the Kalaka license in Mali (as part of the Moydow transaction). The Kalaka gold project is located 260km South-East of Bamako in South Mali, 80km south of the 8 million Ounces Morila gold mine owned by Barrick/AngloGold Ashanti and 85km northwest of the 6 million ounces Syama gold mine owned by Resolute. Previous works at Kalaka indicate a large, low-grade zone mineralization with multiple drill intersections. The Company announced, on May 7, 2024, agreements with Panthera Resources Plc., pursuant to which the Company increased its interest in the Gurara project to 51% (see above) and disposed of its 40% interest in the Kalaka project.

Cascades (Gold) - Burkina Faso (Continued)

The WUO Land option agreement gives DFR's subsidiary exclusive rights until May 27, 2024 to purchase 100% of the License Holder's interest in the WUO Land exploration license through a payment of $1,000,000. The Company and the License Holder have entered into an amendment agreement, dated June 8, 2024 (the "Amendment Agreement"). Prior to executing the Amendment Agreement, the License Holder was entitled to receive a quarterly royalty payment equivalent to 1% of the net smelter return ("NSR"), subject to a maximum entitlement of US$2,000,000, and a one off payment of US$1,000,000 (the "Milestone Payment"), payable within six months of the Company reporting a resource of at least 1,000,000 ounces of gold on the Permit in accordance with the JORC guidelines. Under the Amendment Agreement, the License Holder is entitled to a royalty payment of 0.5% of NSR over the duration of mining on the Permit. If the Milestone Payment described above is paid, each royalty payment thereafter shall be reduced by 25% until such time as the aggregate amount of the said 25% reductions equal the amount of the Milestone Payment. Moreover, an amount of USD 50,000 was payable annually to the License Holder until May 27, 2023, have been paid accordingly. The WUO Land exploration permit (Permis de Recherche) was renewed for three years in 2021 and was due for renewal on March 5, 2024, the Company lodged a submission for renewal in December 2023, and the license has been renewed until 5 March 2027, upon renewal, the extent of the WUO Land License has reduced by 25% from 61 km2 to 46 km2 in accordance with existing laws.

The WUO Land 2 option agreement confers DFR's subsidiary exclusive rights to purchase 100% of the License Holder's interest in the WUO Land 2 exploration license for an aggregate payment of $500,000, out of which $200,000 was paid in 2022 and the remaining $300,000 has been paid on February 9, 2024, exercising the option. The process to register the WUO Land 2 permit in the name of DFR's subsidiary is in progress and subject to completing all administrative requirements including an audit of all expenses incurred on the WUO Land 2 concession. The License Holder is entitled to a net smelter royalty of 1% capped at $2,000,000 on the value of all minerals extracted from the tenement. The WUO Land 2 exploration permit (Permis de Recherche) was granted for a three-year period on November 13, 2018, initially renewed and further renewed for another three-year period until November 12, 2024, and the Company has submitted its application for the second three-year renewal within the required 90 days prior to renewal time frame.

Moydow has explored the area since August 2020 and has benefitted from exploration activities undertaken at Cascades by previous operators, High River Gold Mines Limited ("HRG") (now Nord Gold SE ("Nord Gold")) and Taurus Gold Limited ("Taurus") having executed an Exploration Data, Reports and Samples Purchase Agreement on October 9, 2020 with Nord Gold to purchase all of their historic data in consideration of a 0.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) capped at USD 3,000,000.

Historic information includes over 65,000 metres ("m") of drilling (541 holes) completed across multiple drilling campaigns by HRG and Taurus, consisting of principally diamond and RC drilling. Mineralization has been intercepted in three main zones over a 14km strike length. Previous historical drilling and historical artisanal mining has demonstrated continuity of mineralization within two of the three zones over strike lengths of up to 9km. Historical ground IP surveys, acquired by the Company, highlight the opportunity for further extensions and additional zones. Prior to its acquisition by DFR, Moydow consolidated all the previous exploration data into a single database for the first time in the project's history. The database includes an extensive amount of information, including drilling and soil sampling data, ground and airborne geophysics and Lidar surveys.

4. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Exploration Projects (Continued)

Cascades (Gold) - Burkina Faso (continued)

Moydow completed its inaugural exploration drilling program, which included 4,739m of reverse core (RC) drilling in 2021, comprising twin drilling of 23 holes in two areas of known, high grade mineralization, 2 infill holes as well as 4 exploration drill holes to test potential extensions. The results of the Moydow drilling showed strong reproducibility of the HRG and Taurus drill data both in terms of location of mineralization and grade. Moreover, the brownfields exploration drilling showed good predictability of the location of mineralization in extensional drilling to the mineral resource. The HRG, Taurus and Moydow data was therefore taken as sufficiently accurate to be used in the estimation of the maiden mineral resource estimates (MRE) for Cascades. On October 25, 2021, the Company announced a maiden Mineral Resource prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 for the Company's Cascades project, and amended on April 20, 2022, reporting:

• Indicated resource of 5.41 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.52 g/t Au for a total 264,000 ounces of gold; and
• Inferred resource of 6.93 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.67 g/t Au for a total of 371,000 ounces of gold.

The MRE for the Cascades Project has been prepared by Mr. Ivor W.O. Jones, M.Sc., FAusIMM, P.Geo, for Aurum Consulting, who is an independent Qualified person (QP) under NI 43-101 guidelines. The maiden Mineral Resource and its preparation have been detailed in a technical report, entitled Diamond Fields Resources Inc. Cascades Project 2021-10, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and filed on SEDAR by the Company on December 3, 2021. On April 20, 2022, an amended technical report was filed clarifying that no exploration or drilling was done by DFR, no properties within close proximity to the project could be considered relevant to the project and that the qualified persons were independent from Moydow and Panthera Resources plc (which currently holds the remaining 20% interest in the project).

The MRE was estimated using ordinary kriging methodologies, standard estimation practices and constrained by an open-pit evaluation based on a $1,900 per ounce gold price and reported using a cutoff grade of 0.5 grams of gold per tonne ("g/t Au"). The MRE is based upon a total of 69,787m of drilling from 566 drill holes which includes the confirmatory, twin and infill drilling of 4739m for 31 holes (detailed above) undertaken by Moydow in 2021. Preliminary metallurgical results from historical metallurgical samples, supported by extensive LeachWELL (proprietary accelerated cyanide leach technique) data from Moydow drilling samples, indicate that gold is readily treatable by conventional cyanide leaching techniques after grinding to industry standard grind-sizes of approximately 80% passing 120 microns. Recoveries are in the range of 90% and 98% in the oxide zone and between 82% and 93% in the transition/sulfide zone. Moydow has estimated the amount of the resource that has been depleted by artisanal mining to be approximately 341,000 tonnes at 3 g/t Au.

Prior to the completion of its acquisition by DFR, Moydow started a drilling program at Cascades during the second quarter of 2022 (the "2022 Drilling Campaign") incorporating infill resource definition and step out drilling at the Daramandougou area (21 RC holes for an aggregate of 2,454 metres) and first-pass exploration drilling on two new previously untested targets in the then newly acquired Wuo Land 2 concession (as announced on 11 March 2022), namely the TT-13 and the Big South targets (22 holes).
