ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We use the terms “Magellan,” “we,”
“our,” and “us” to refer to Magellan Copper & Gold Corp.
The following discussion and analysis provide
information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition.
This information should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and our interim unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included with this
report in Part I, Item 1.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the information presented in this Form
10-Q constitutes “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
that include terms such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “continue,” “believe,” “plan,” or the like, as well as all statements that are
not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from current expectations. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds
of our knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that
exist after the date on which they are made.
Overview
We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in
Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties
to which we have mineral rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
We have only had limited operations to date, and
we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant investors to fund our operations, as we have not generated any
revenue.
Our current focus is to advance the Ophir Creek
Placer Gold Mine towards resource definition and eventual development. Secondarily, we may acquire additional mineral projects which could
add earlier revenue to the Company. The Company is currently severely restrained by access to capital and any plans with respect to its
existing or future projects are subject to availability of capital on reasonable terms. In the past, and for the foreseeable future, we
will continue to rely upon the sale of our securities as well as advances and loans from executive management, and also from significant
shareholders, to fund our operations as we do not generate consistent revenue. Prospective investors should note that there is no assurance
that additional capital will be available to the Company to carry out its stated work plans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during
the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial
statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be
unable to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2026, we had not yet generated sufficient revenues or achieved profitable operations,
and we have accumulated losses of $22,603,152. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability
to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when
they come due, of which there can be no assurance.
We anticipate that additional funding will be
in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common
stock but cannot assure that any future debt or equity financing will occur.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have and have never had any off-balance
sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto. We consider critical accounting policies to
be those that require more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements, including the following:
long lived assets; intangible assets valuations; and income tax valuations. Management relies on historical experience and other assumptions
believed to be reasonable in making its judgment and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Management believes its application of accounting
policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are periodically reevaluated,
and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change.
