MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2018

General

The following discussion of performance, financial condition and future prospects should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements of Landore Resources Limited ("Landore Resources" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, "the Group") and notes thereto for the period from 1 January 2018 to 30 June 2018. All amounts are stated in sterling.

Overview

Landore Resources is admitted to trading on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc, with the trading symbol LND.L. The Company is based in Guernsey in the Channel Islands and its 100 per cent. owned operating subsidiary, Landore Resources Canada Inc. ("Landore Canada"), is engaged in the exploration and development of a portfolio of precious and base metal properties in North America.

Results of Operations

The financial results for the six months to 30 June 2018 show a loss of GBP1,259,182 (2017: loss GBP1,750,807). These results were in line with expectations. Exploration costs were GBP892,124 (2017: GBP1,321,976).

On 3 April 2018, the Company completed a placing and subscription to raise, in aggregate, GBP2,924,709, net of issue costs, through the issue of 210,000,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 1.5 pence per share.

The Group has no debt but will need to raise further equity in order to carry out its future exploration and development activities, and also for additional working capital.

Operations

Landore Canada, is actively engaged in mineral exploration in Eastern Canada. Landore Canada owns or has the mineral rights to four properties in Eastern Canada, a 90.2 per cent. controlling interest in Lamaune Iron Inc. ("Lamaune"), which owns the property adjacent to Junior Lake, and a 30 per cent interest in the West Graham property located in the Sudbury Nickel Belt.

Landore Canada through its 100 per cent owned subsidiary Brancote US, owns or has the mineral rights to a further eight properties for 99 claims in the State of Nevada.

Landore Canada's primary operational focus during the first half of 2018 was on the growth of the BAM East Gold Deposit located on the 100 per cent owned, highly prospective Junior Lake Property, Northwestern Ontario ("Junior Lake").

Full details of the Group's projects, including maps, Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) resource reports, geophysical surveys etc. can be viewed on the Group's website, www.landore.com.

The Junior Lake Property:

The Junior Lake property, 100 per cent. owned by Landore Canada, is located in the province of Ontario, Canada, approximately 235 kilometres north-northeast of Thunder Bay and is host to the recently discovered BAM Gold Deposit, the B4-7 Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGEs deposit and the adjacent Alpha PGEs zone. Junior Lake also contains the VW Nickel deposit and numerous other highly prospective mineral occurrences.

In October 2017, Landore Canada received 576,192,087 common shares in the capital of Lamaune, in full satisfaction of a loan receivable from Lamaune. This acquisition of the contiguous Lamaune property (90.2 per cent owned by Landore Canada) has increased the size of Landore Canada's Junior Lake property from 22,497 hectares to 26,593 hectares, extending the coverage of the highly prospective Archean greenstone belt traversing the property from east to west from 19 kilometres to approximately 31 kilometres in length. The recently- expanded property now encompasses the Lamaune Gold deposit, located 10 kilometres west of the BAM East Gold Deposit.

BAM Gold Deposit:

Discovered in December 2015, the BAM Gold Deposit contains a JORC (2012) compliant mineral resource estimate of 18,588,000 tonnes (t) at 1.04 grams/tonne (g/t) for 623,000 ounces of gold including 13,864,000t at 1.09g/t for 486,000 ounces gold in the Indicated Category, as announced on 7 August 2018. This resource is located approximately midway along a 2.7 kilometre long, east-southeast to west-northwest trending MaxMin geophyical anomaly (MM-7), at the western end of which is located the original BAM gold zone discovered by Landore Resources in 2003.

Summer Drilling Campaign:

A 12,000 metre drilling programme on the BAM Gold Project commenced on 20 April 2018, focusing on drilling every 100 metres within an approximately 900 metre span between the previously-drilled main BAM Gold Deposit and the original BAM Gold Zone. The current programme has drilled from near surface down to approximately 190 metres vertical and has intersected widespread gold mineralisation of similar grade to the two deposits with multiple instances of visible gold (VG). Exploration drilling scheduled near the end of the programme will test the gold potential approximately one kilometre to the east of the currently defined mineral resource estimate.

The summer drilling campaign concluded on 17 September 2018 with 23 NQ diamond drill holes (0418-626 to 0418-648) for 3,731 metres and 38 HQ diamond drill holes (0418-649 to 0418-686) for 8,842 metres giving a total of 12,673 metres completed.

All data from the campaign will be collated for the preparation of a further updated mineral resource estimate by independent engineering consultants, scheduled for completion in Q4 2018. The updated mineral resource estimate will form the basis for a preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") to be completed Q1 2019.

Outlook

Infill drilling completed this summer will be incorporated into the updated mineral resource estimate which is projected to increase the strike length of the BAM Gold Deposit to 2.1 kilometres. This, together with exploration drilling east of the defined mineral resource, bodes well for the possibility of finding and delineating further gold deposits along this highly prospective Junior Lake trend.

The Company believes that the PEA will demonstrate the economic viability of the project and support the Board's opinion that the BAM Gold deposit can be developed into a low-cost open pit mining operation.

The BAM Gold Deposit remains open to the east, west and down dip, providing additional exploration potential to target for future drill programmes on Junior Lake.

Social and environmental responsibility:

The Group believes that a successful project is best achieved through maintaining close working relationships with First Nations and other local communities. This social ideology is at the forefront of all of the Group's exploration initiatives by establishing and maintaining co-operative relationships with First Nations communities, hiring local personnel and using local contractors and suppliers.

Careful attention is given to ensure that all exploration activity is performed in an environmentally responsible manner and abides by all relevant mining and environmental acts. Landore takes a conscientious role in all of its operations, and is aware of its social responsibility and its environmental duty.

Mineral properties at 30 June 2018 represent accumulated costs to date incurred by Landore Resources Canada Inc., a subsidiary of Landore Resources Limited. On acquisition of Landore Resources Canada Inc. on 5 April 2006 the fair value of those costs incurred to date was considered to be GBPnil. All subsequent expenditure in the period has been charged to the income statement in accordance with the group accounting policy.

   3          Loss per share 

The loss per share is based on the loss for the period and the weighted number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, being 938,015,227 (June 2017: 759,215,748).

Diluted loss per share

The potential ordinary shares which arise as a result of the options in issue are not dilutive under the terms of IAS 33 because they would not increase the loss per share. Accordingly, there is no difference between the basic and dilutive loss per share.

On 4 April 2018, 210,000,000 ordinary shares were issued at a price of GBP0.015 each as part of a share placing and subscription raising GBP3,150,000 before issue costs.

As part of this share placing and subscription one warrant was issued with each new ordinary share with an exercise price of GBP0.02 per ordinary share. No value has been ascribed to these warrants as they are deemed not to have been issued in exchange for goods or services and therefore no value is ascribed per IFRS 2.
