Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023:

Overview

We are engaged in the exploration of gold properties exclusively in Ghana, West Africa in the search for mineral deposits and mineral reserves which could be economically and legally extracted or produced. Our exploration activities include the review of existing geological data, grid establishment and soil geochemical sampling, geological mapping, geophysical surveying, trenching and pitting to test gold-in-soil anomalies and diamond core and/or reverse circulation (RC) drilling to test targets followed by infill drilling, if successful, to define a mineral reserve.

Our mining concession portfolio currently consists of 225.87 square kilometers comprised of 33.65 square kilometers for our Kibi project, 51.67 square kilometers for our Banso project, 55.28 square kilometers for our Muoso project, 44.76 square kilometers for our Kwabeng project, and 40.51 square kilometers for our Pameng project, or 55,873 acres, pursuant to the leased areas set forth in our mining leases.

Technical Disclosure

The hardrock, lode gold exploration technical information relating to our mineral properties contained in this MD&A is based upon information prepared by or the preparation of which was supervised by Yves Clement, P.Geo., our Vice-President, Exploration. Mr. Clement is a Qualified Person as defined by Canadian Securities National Instrument 43-101 concerning standards of disclosure for mineral projects.

Plan of Operations

Our strategic plan is, with respect to our mineral projects, to conduct an exploration program, consisting of the following:

at our Kibi project:

 follow-up trenching of Zone 1 - Zone 2 - Zone 3 early stage gold shoots / showings to guide future mineral resource expansion drilling efforts;

 prospecting, reconnaissance geology, hand augering and/or scout pitting, and trenching of high priority gold-in-soil anomalies and grassroots gold targets across the extent of the Apapam concession; and

  a diamond core drill program of approximately 15,000 metres, at an estimated cost of $850,000, to be implemented utilizing the Company's in-house operated drill rigs; consisting of a combination of follow up drilling of early stage gold targets  and scout drilling of prospective litho-structural gold settings  within the mineral resource footprint area; and scout drilling of new grassroots gold targets across the Apapam concession.

at our Kwabeng project:

  ongoing geological compilation, prospecting, soil geochemical sampling, hand augering and/or scout pitting, and trenching to identify and/or further advance grassroots targets; and

  the continuation of placer gold recovery operations at this project (commenced in March 2013);

at our Pameng project:

  ongoing geological compilation, prospecting, soil geochemical sampling, hand augering and/or scout pitting, and trenching to identify and/or further advance grassroots targets; and

at our Banso and Muoso projects:

  ongoing geological compilation, prospecting, soil geochemical sampling, hand augering and/or scout pitting, and trenching to identify and/or further advance grassroots targets; and

  the continuation of placer gold recovery operations at these projects (commenced in 2015);

As at the date of this annual report, we have estimated $500,000 for the cost for soil sampling, hand augering and/or scout pitting, and trenching at our Kibi, Kwabeng, Pameng, Banso and Muoso projects.

As part of our current business strategy, we plan to continue engaging technical personnel under contract where possible as our management believes that this strategy, at its current level of development, provides the best services available in the circumstances, leads to lower overall costs and provides the best flexibility for our business operations. For example, the purchase of an exploration drill as opposed to using contract drillers has generated significant savings to the company.

We anticipate that our ongoing efforts will continue to be focused on the exploration and development of our projects and completing acquisitions in strategic areas. We will look to acquire further interests in gold mineralized projects that fall within the criteria of providing a geological basis for development of drilling initiatives that can enhance shareholder value by demonstrating the potential to define reserves.

We continued with our recovery of placer gold operations at our Kwabeng Banso and Muoso properties in 2022.  We contract out as many services as possible on our placer gold recovery operations to local Ghanaians in order to maximize cost efficiencies.

Our fiscal 2023 budget to carry out our plan of operations is approximately $2,350,000 as follows and as disclosed in our 20-F annual report under Item 4.B - Information on Xtra-Gold - Business Overview:

Soil sampling / trenching $ 500,000  
Drilling   850,000  
Administration   750,000  
Stock-based compensation (non-cash)   250,000  
TOTAL $ 2,350,000  


- 3 -

These expenditures are subject to change if management decides to scale back or accelerate operations.

Our company has historically relied on funds from gold recovery from alluvial operations, equity and debt financings to finance its ongoing operations.  Existing working capital, possible debt instruments, further private placements and anticipated cash flow from placer gold recovery operations are expected to be adequate to fund our company's operations over the next year.  During the current year and subsequent to 2023, we will not require additional capital to implement our plan of operations. 

Trends

Gold prices closed in 2022 at $1,814 per ounce, just above the 2022 average of $1,801 per ounce.  Gold prices were strong early in 2022, and fell throughout the year, recording the low for 2022 occurred in November.  We saw some price recovery in December and to date in 2023. We continue to see positive indicators for gold prices in the future.

Interest rate increases throughout 2022 strengthened the US dollar as a safe haven, with the value of the US dollar reaching a 20-year peak in September 2022.  With the Federal Reserve acknowledging that the disinflation process has commenced, most of the tightening cycle is believed to be completed.  As a result, the comparative strength of the US dollar is expected to be reduced in 2023.

Gold does well in times of uncertainty.  National, corporate and individual debt levels increase this uncertainty and leave less room to safely manage any potential crisis.

Gold prices per ounce over the year ended December 31, 2022 and previous two years are as follows:

    Q1 2023     2022     2021  
                   
High $ 1,994   $ 2,039   $ 1,943  
Low   1,811     1,629     1,684  
Average   1,888     1,801     1,800  

The tone for the precious metals market in the near future will depend on the U.S. dollar strength.  The US Federal Reserve has raised interest rates to combat inflation, and has indicated that the pace of rate increases could slow going forward.  The future focus will be on how much economic growth, government deficits and debts affect the ability of the Federal Reserve to increase future rates or shrink its balance sheet.  Any further economic wobble or extension of the time to address the underlying issues could create uncertainty about the US economy, which would be good for gold prices. 

Overall, a stronger U.S. dollar may lead to reduced interest in the gold exploration sector.

Currently, Covid-19 has not affected any of the Company's operations in Ghana.  The first cases of Covid-19 were detected much later in Ghana than other parts of the world, and Government action has limited the incidence of transmission.  The Company continues to monitor the potential effects on its operations and is implementing protocol to hopefully help in minimize its impact.  However, investors are cautioned this is an evolving issue, and that there is not guarantee the Company's protocols will be effective.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Our company reported a net gain after tax for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $553,197 (March 31, 2022 - gain of $922,038).  Our company's basic and diluted gain per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $0.01 (March 31, 2022 - $0.02).  Both quarters benefited from gold recovery results. 

The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 46,435,928 (March 28, 2023 - 46,625,588).  Average shares outstanding were reduced through share repurchases. Average fully diluted shares in Q1 2023 were 49,021,928 (Q1 2022 - 49,021,928), with the difference being in the money stock options and warrants.  These items did not materially affect earnings per share. 

We incurred expenses of $407,770 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 ( March 31, 2022 - $415,993).  All expense categories were very similar in the two periods. Exploration expense was up slightly, to $268,761 as compared to $261,411. We expense all exploration costs.  Depreciation in Q1 2023 was flat compared to Q1 2022.  General and administrative expense in Q1 2023 of $103,228 decreased slightly from $119,120 in Q1 2022.

Exploration activities for the March 2023 quarter continued to focus on the Company's flagship Kibi Gold Project (Apapam Mining Lease) with the continuation of the Zone 3 resource expansion target generation drill program. Sixteen (16) diamond core boreholes totalling 2,737 metres ("m") were completed by the Company's in-house drill crews with drilling efforts primarily targeting the further delineation of the Boomerang East gold system identified in late 2021. Final compilation of the geological and assay result data for the present drilling work is currently in progress. The current Boomerang East drilling forms part of an exploration initiative targeting resource expansion opportunities along the southwestern (Zone 3) segment of the over three-kilometre-long Zone 2 - Zone 3 anticlinal fold structure; stretching over one kilometre beyond the limits of the current Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") footprint area. Drill results for a total of 90 holes (15,551.5 m) have been reported to date for the ongoing Zone 3 resource expansion drill program initiated following the late July 2021 database close-out date for the current MRE.

Present 3D litho-structural modelling indicates that the Boomerang East gold system is emplaced within the inner arc of a tight, moderate NE-plunging, isoclinally folded diorite body. The mineralization appears to occur as a system of stacked, flat-lying to crescent-shaped, NE-plunging gold shoots occupying the apparent fold hinge of the NE-trending, 1st Order, Zone 2 - Zone 3 anticlinal fold structure.  Drilling to date has outlined three (3) principal gold shoots, including the Upper Shoot (s), the Lower Shoot, and the Footwall Shoot, across an approximately 250 m cross-plunge distance. The Lower Shoot, presently the most prominent mineralization shoot of the Boomerang East gold system, has so far been delineated from practically surface to a down-plunge depth of approximately 400 m along the fold hinge structure (approximately 275 m vertical depth from surface), and across an approximately 175 m NW-SE lateral distance.

The Company received the final product of the updated structural analysis of the Kibi Gold Project from Tect Geological Consulting of West Somerset, South Africa, in mid-February 2023. The detailed 3D litho-structural modelling work, encompassing an additional 90 drill holes (15,551.5 m) completed since the database close-out date for the current MRE, in combination with the 3D VTEM / TMI inversion models produced by TechnoImaging LLC of Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, in mid-July 2022, was undertaken to further define the structural controls of the Zone 2 - Zone 3 MRE footprint area gold mineralization and to generate exploration targets across the Kibi Gold Project. Integration of the high-priority exploration targets generated by the modelling work into the project database is currently ongoing.

We did not conduct any exploration activities on our Kwabeng, Pameng, Banso and Muoso projects during the current reporting period.

We recognized gains related to other items of $1,245,913 in Q1 2023 (Q1 2022 - $1,610,300).  While gold sales contributed most of the gains in both periods, Q1 2022 also reported a significant gain on our investment portfolio.  The gains in both periods were partly offset by foreign exchange losses.  During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, we sold 1,491 fine ounces of gold at an average price of US$1,682 for net proceeds of $1,338,420 (Q1 2022 - 2,017 fine ounces of gold at an average price of US$1,808 for net proceeds of $1,230,149).  Gold sales relating to our share of gold is not recognized until the risks and rewards of ownership passed to the buyer.  These placer gold recovery operations were contracted to local Ghanaian groups.  We pay a 5% government royalty on our gold sales.  Using local contractors promotes the local economy while avoiding illegal workings on our projects.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, our company had a foreign exchange loss of $151,108 (Q1 2022 - loss of $122,745) mostly due to strength in the U.S. dollar against the Ghana cedi and the Canadian dollar.  The company holds a substantial amount of its investment portfolio in Canadian dollars and this portfolio value weakened with the US dollar strength.  In Ghana, the cedi continued to show weakness in the 2023 perod.

Our company recognized a trading and holding loss on marketable securities in Q1 2023 of $20,437 (Q1 2022 - gain of $489,611).  Portfolio results in Q1 2023 did not approach the exceptional returns of Q1 2022 as markets pulled back.  Unrealized gains and losses reflect mark-to-market changes in the investment portfolio during a period.  A realized gain is recognized when securities are sold from the investment portfolio, being the difference between the selling price and the purchase price of the security sold.  At the time of the sale, any mark-to-market gain or loss which is related to the security sold, previously recognized in unrealized gains and losses, is reversed.

Other income of $79,038 in Q1 2023 (Q1 2022 - $13,285) mostly relates to interest and dividends on investment portfolio assets.

Recent Capital Raising Transactions

Our activities, principally the exploration and acquisition of properties for gold and other metals, may be financed through joint ventures or through the completion of equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants.

There were no capital raising transactions in 2023 or 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are an exploration company focused on gold and associated commodities and do not have operating revenues; and therefore, we must utilize our current cash reserves, income from placer gold sales, income from investments, funds obtained from the exercise of stock options and warrants and other financing transactions to maintain our capacity to meet the planned exploration programs, or to fund any further development activities.  There is no certainty that future financing will be available to us in the amounts or at the times desired on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Cash on hand was increased by $1,473,582 during Q1 2023.  Operations provided all of the increase in cash.  Cash of $376,752 was used to purchase investments in Q1 2023 while proceeds from the sale of investments generated $514,665 of cash.  Inventory was reduced by $300,224 due to the timing of smelt shipments.  Payables were increased, mostly due to an accrual for income taxes payable in Ghana related to 2023 operations.  Other operating expenses were mostly cash neutral.   

At December 31, 2022, accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $247,845 to $1,555,010, mostly due to an income tax accrual increase.  Our cash and cash equivalents as at March 31, 2023 were sufficient to pay these liabilities.  We believe that our company has sufficient working capital to achieve our 2023 operating plan. However, our historical losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

At March 31, 2023, we had total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $7,550,904 (December 31, 2022 - $6,077,322).  Working capital as of March 31, 2023 was $9,446,141 (December 31, 2022 - $8,772,217).  The Q1 2023 increase in working capital mostly reflects the revenue from gold recovery. 

We are an exploration company focused on gold and associated commodities and do not have operating revenues; and therefore, we must utilize our current cash reserves, income from placer gold sales, income from investments, funds obtained from the exercise of stock options and warrants and other financing transactions to maintain our capacity to meet the planned exploration programs, or to fund any further development activities.  There is no certainty that future financing will be available to us in the amounts or at the times desired on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Our shares of common stock, warrants and stock options outstanding as at the date of this MDA, March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

  May 04, 2023 March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022
Common Shares 46,435,417 46,435,417 46,446,917
Warrants - - -
Stock Options 2,648,500 2,586,000 2,586,000
Fully diluted 49,083,917 49,021,417 49,032,917

Subsequent to March 31, 2023, 62,500 stock options were issued to an incoming director.   

As of the date of this MD&A, the exercise of all outstanding options would raise approximately $1.0 million, however such exercise is not anticipated until the market value of our shares of common stock increases in value.

We remain debt free and our credit and interest rate risk is limited to interest-bearing assets of cash and bank or government guaranteed investment vehicles.  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are short-term and non-interest bearing.

Our liquidity risk with financial instruments is minimal as excess cash is invested with a Canadian financial institution in government-backed securities or bank-backed guaranteed investment certificates.

Our fiscal 2023 budget to carry out our plan of operations is approximately $2,350,000 as disclosed in our Plan of Operations section above and in our 20-F annual report under Item 4.B - Information on Xtra-Gold - Business Overview".  These expenditures are subject to change if management decides to scale back or accelerate operations.  We believe that we are adequately capitalized to achieve our operating plan for fiscal 2023.  However, our losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Going Concern

The Company is in development as an exploration company.  It may need financing for its exploration and acquisition activities.  Although the Company has incurred a gain of $553,197 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, it has an accumulated a deficit of $20,792,201.  Results for the period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of future results.  The uncertainty of gold recovery and he fact the Company does not have a demonstrably viable business to provide future funds, raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan, which is typical for junior exploration companies.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management of the Company ("Management") is of the opinion that sufficient financing will be obtained from external sources and further share issuances will be made to meet the Company's obligations.  The Company's discretionary exploration activities do have considerable scope for flexibility in terms of the amount and timing of exploration expenditure, and expenditures may be adjusted accordingly if required.

Related Party Transactions

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company entered into the following transactions with related parties:

    March 31, 2023     March 31, 20232  
             
Consulting fees paid or accrued to officers or their companies $ 320,529   $ 320,529  
Directors' fees   555     555  
             
Stock option grants to officers and directors            
Stock option grant price range            

Of the total consulting fees noted above, $248,081 (March 31, 2022 - $264,612) was incurred by the Company to a private company of which a related party is a 50% shareholder and director.  The related party was entitled to receive $124,041 (March 31, 2022 - $132,306)  of this amount.  As at March 31, 2022, a balance of $180,055 (December 31, 2022 - a balance of $181,973) exists to this related company and $Nil remains payable (December 31, 2022 - $Nil) to the related party for expenses earned for work on behalf of the Company.  The CEO of the company made a $50,000 payment on behalf of the company in 2021.  This balance was repaid in 2022.

No stock options were granted during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.  During 2022, the Company granted 350,000 options to insiders at a price of $0.60 (CAD$0.81).  A total of $120,563 was included in consulting fees related to these options.  On July 1, 2022, the original terms of existing options were extended.  The Company recognized an expense of $77,092 related to the extension of the option terms to maturity related to insiders. Options granted to consultants were market-to-market until expiry and the Company recognized an expense in 2022 of $4,976. During 2021 the Company did not grant stock options to insiders.  During 2020 the Company granted 314,000 options to insiders at a prices between of $0.47 (CAD$0.60) and $0.96 (CAD$1.23).  A total of $123,837 was included in consulting fees related to these options.

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We consider the availability of equipment to conduct our exploration activities.  In 2022 we purchased one pickup. In 2021 we purchased three pickups. In 2020 we purchased a second drill, a dozer, some pickups and a generator. While we do not expect we will be buying any additional equipment in the foreseeable future, we will continue to assess the situation and weigh our program needs against equipment availability.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our company has no off balance sheet arrangements.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

We invest all excess cash primarily in time deposits, money market funds, corporate debt securities, equities, limited partnerships, and rights and warrants.

We classify all marketable debt securities that have stated maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents and those with stated maturities of greater than three months as marketable securities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We determine the appropriate classification of our investments in marketable debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluate such designation at each balance sheet date. We have classified and accounted for our marketable debt securities as trading securities. After consideration of our risk versus reward objectives, as well as our liquidity requirements, we may sell these debt securities prior to their stated maturities. For all of our marketable debt securities we have elected the fair value option, for which changes in fair value are recorded in other income (expense), net. We determine any realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable debt securities on a specific identification method, and we record such gains and losses as a component of other income (expense), net.

The following tables summarize our debt securities, at their fair value, by significant investment categories as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Critical Accounting Estimates and Changes in Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the carrying value and recoverability of mineral properties, inputs used in the calculation of stock-based compensation and warrants, inputs used in the calculation of the asset retirement obligation, and the valuation allowance applied to deferred income taxes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates, and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.
