Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

1.        Nature of Operations

NextSource Materials Inc. (the "Company" or “NextSource”) is incorporated under the laws of Canada and has a fiscal year end of June 30. The Company's registered head office and primary location of records is 145 Wellington Street West, Suite 1001, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 1H8.

The Company's principal business is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resources. The Company has yet to generate any revenue from mining operations or pay dividends and is unlikely to do so in the immediate or foreseeable future.

The Company, through a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, obtained a mining permit and environmental certificate for its Molo Graphite Project in Madagascar. The Molo Graphite Project is one of the largest-known and highest quality flake graphite deposits in the world. Although the Company released a NI 43-101 Technical Report Feasibility Study dated July 13, 2017 that concluded that Phase 1 of the Molo Graphite Project contains mineralization that is economically recoverable, the Company does not have the necessary capital to begin construction at this time.

In addition to the Molo Graphite Project, NextSource has 100% ownership of its NI 43-101 compliant Green Giant Vanadium Project, located just 11 kilometres from the Molo Project. The Green Giant Project is a rarely occurring, sedimentary-hosted deposit that also ranks as one of the largest-known and highest in-situ grade vanadium resources in the world.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 13, 2019.

Corporate Redomicile

The Company completed a corporate redomicile from the State of Minnesota to Canada on December 27, 2017.

Corporate Structure

NextSource owns 100% of NextSource Materials (Mauritius) Ltd. (“MATMAU”), a Mauritius subsidiary, and 2391938 Ontario Inc., an Ontario Company.

MATMAU owns 100% of NextSource Minerals (Mauritius) Ltd. (“MINMAU”), a Mauritius subsidiary, NextSource Graphite (Mauritius) Ltd (“GRAMAU”), a Mauritius subsidiary, and NextSource Materials (Madagascar) SARL (“MATMAD”), a Madagascar subsidiary.

MINMAU owns 100% of NextSource Minerals (Madagascar) SARL (“MINMAD”), a Madagascar subsidiary. MINMAD holds the Green Giant Vanadium Project exploration permits.

GRAMAU owns 100% of ERG Madagascar SARL (“ERGMAD”), a Madagascar subsidiary. ERGMAD holds the Molo Graphite Project exploration permits.

Going Concern Assumption

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $102,208,784 (June 30, 2018: $100,744,927), has experienced recurring net losses and has negative operating cash flows. As such, conditions exist that may raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management considers all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The Company's ability to continue operations and fund its exploration and development expenditures is dependent on management's ability to secure additional financing. Management is actively pursuing such additional sources of financing, and while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. The Company has not obtained the necessary permits to begin construction and has not commenced commercial operation of a mine. These conditions cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore need to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

2.       Significant Accounting Policies

Statement of compliance with IFRS

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance and comply with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting principles consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and the corresponding interim reporting period. Furthermore, the information on accounting standards effective in future periods and not yet adopted remains unchanged from that disclosed in the annual financial statements.

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operation and cash flows of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses, profits and losses, including gains and losses relating to subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation.

Significant accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions

To prepare financial statements in conformity with IFRS, the Company must make estimates, judgements and assumptions concerning the future that affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported values of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, these are uncertain and actual outcomes could differ from the estimates, judgments and assumptions.

The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods when the revision affects both current and future periods. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could have an effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements relate to the following:

Going concern: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments regarding the ability to continue as a going concern.

Share-based compensation: Estimating fair value for granted stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility, dividend yield, and rate of forfeitures and making assumptions about them. The value of the share-based payment expense along with the assumptions and model used for estimating fair value for share-based compensation transactions are disclosed in Note 12.

Flow-Through Provision Estimates: The estimation of the value of the provision for the Part XII.6 taxes for the indemnification liability to subscribers of the flow-through shares issued in fiscal 2014 for the additional taxes payable by such subscribers related to the CEE renunciation shortfall that occurred in fiscal 2015 is based on applying a blended tax rate of approximately 35% against the CEE renunciation shortfall. The assumptions and calculations used for estimating the value attributed to the flow-through provision are disclosed in Note 9.

2.       Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Significant accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions - continued

Deferred taxes: The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful discovery, extraction, development and commercialization of mineral reserves. To the extent that management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and deferred tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.

Cash equivalents

The Company considers cash equivalents to be cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Prepayments and deposits

The Company makes prepayments and deposits to suppliers of services. These are recognized as prepayments when made and recognized as expenses when received. Prepayments and deposits on assets that are long term in nature are recorded as long-term prepayments and deposits.

Financial instruments

Management determines the classification of financial assets and financial liabilities at initial recognition and, except in very limited circumstances, the classification is not changed subsequent to initial recognition. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, their characteristics and/or management’s intent. Transaction costs with respect to instruments not classified as fair value through profit or loss are recognized as an adjustment to the cost of the underlying instruments and amortized using the effective interest method.

The Company’s financial instruments were classified in the following categories:

Financial assets

Financial assets, measured at fair value through profit or loss:

· Cash equivalents

An instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. A financial asset is classified as fair value through profit or loss if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Financial instruments included in this category are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are taken directly to earnings along with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value.

Derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded at fair value unless exempted from derivative treatment as normal purchase and sale. All changes in their fair value are recorded through profit or loss.

Loans and receivables, measured at amortized cost:

· Cash on hand and balances at bank

Cash on hand and balances at bank and advances and loans receivable are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Interest revenue on advances and loans receivable are recognized using the effective interest method.

Financial instruments - continued

Financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities, measured at amortized cost:

· Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded at fair value unless exempted from derivative treatment as normal purchase and sale. All changes in their fair value are recorded through profit or loss.

Warrant liability is a level 3 instrument with fair value of $Nil as of June 30, 2018 (June 30, 2017 - $NIL and July 1, 2016 - $111,049).

The financial instrument measurement hierarchy, for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting date, is as follows:

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. For those financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting date, financial instruments and liquidity risk disclosures require a three-level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements. These levels are defined below:

· Level 1: Determined by reference to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; or

· Level 2: Valuations using inputs other than the quoted prices for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data, either directly or indirectly; or

· Level 3: Valuations using inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Both the binomial and Black Scholes valuation techniques are permitted under IFRS.

The impairment of financial assets, carried at amortized costs, is as follows:

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired if there is objective evidence that the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets have been negatively impacted. Evidence of impairment may include indications that debtors are experiencing financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, or other observable data which indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows.

If an impairment loss has occurred, the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the loss is recognized in financing expense. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of financing income. Loans together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized or has been transferred to the Company.

If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If an impairment is later recovered, the recovery is credited to financing income.

The derecognition of financial assets and liabilities is as follows:

A financial asset is derecognized when its contractual rights to the cash flows that compose the financial asset expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset are transferred.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Gains and losses on derecognition are recognized within financing income and financing expense, respectively.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures

Exploration and evaluation expenses include all costs relating to mineral property acquisition costs, exploration camp operating costs, local payroll and consultants in Madagascar and Mauritius, directly attributable overhead, exploration permits and licenses, technical services, exploration drilling, seismic, geological, geophysical and metallurgical studies, testing and sampling.

Once a mineral project has been established as being technically feasible and commercially viable, the related development expenditures are capitalized. This includes costs incurred in preparing the site for mining operations. Assessing commercial viability requires management to make certain judgments as to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable operation can be established. Any such judgments may change as new information becomes available. If after having capitalized the expenditure, a decision is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is recognized in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Capitalization of development expenditures ceases when the mine is capable of commercial production, with the exception of development costs that give rise to a future benefit.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives, once the assets are available for use. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimated accounted for on a prospective basis. The useful lives of the equipment are as follows:

· Exploration vehicles and equipment 3 to 5 years

The carrying values of equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting period and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net proceeds with carrying amounts.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where appropriate, the future cash flow estimates are adjusted to reflect risks specific to the obligation If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as financing expense. A contingent liability is disclosed where the existence of an obligation will only be confirmed by future events or where the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with reasonable reliability. Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Warrant liabilities

The Company issued share purchase warrants with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than its functional currency. As a result, the warrants are no longer considered solely indexed to the Company’s common shares and are classified as financial liabilities and recorded at the estimated fair value at each reporting date using Level 3 inputs on the financial instrument hierarchy. The Company records the change in fair value of the warrant liability as a component of other income and expense on the statement of operations.

Environmental rehabilitation and asset retirement obligations

An obligation to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs arises when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration, development or ongoing production of a mineral property interest. Such costs arising for the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided for and charged to expenses as an exploration cost, as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. Discount rates using a pretax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. The related liability is adjusted each period for the unwinding of the discount rate and for changes to the current market-based discount rate, amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation.

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in Madagascar. As at the date of these financial statements, the Company did not have any environmental rehabilitation obligations and had no asset retirement obligations.

Share-based compensation

The Company operates a stock option plan, which measures equity-settled share-based payments to eligible participants at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. Eligible participants are the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants. The fair value of grants issued under the stock option plan are determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where this fair value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, as at the date the Company obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service. The fair value of the stock option grants is only re-measured if there is a modification to the terms of the option, such as a change in exercise price or legal life. The fair value of the stock option grants is recognized as an expense over the expected vesting period with a corresponding entry to shareholders’ equity.

Foreign currencies

The presentation and functional currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Company has primarily expended its cash on international exploration projects and historically generated its equity funding in US dollars. The Company expects to sell graphite priced in US dollars once the Molo Graphite Project achieves production.

The Company offices are in Canada and the Company expends a portion of its payroll, professional and general and administrative costs in Canadian dollars, which are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of transactions are used.

The functional currency of the Mauritius subsidiaries is the United States dollar.

The functional currency of the Madagascar subsidiaries is the Madagascar Ariary. Transfers of cash from the Company to its subsidiaries is typically completed using US dollars. All Ariary transactions are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of transactions are used.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are expressed in United States dollars using the prevailing exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. Any exchange differences that arise are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated as foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Generally, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the operation’s functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

Income taxes

Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent they relate to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current tax is recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or payable to the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and includes any adjustment to taxes payable in respect of previous years.

2.       Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Income taxes – continued

Deferred tax is recognized on any temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable earnings. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized, and the liability is settled. The effect of a change in the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates is recognized in net earnings and comprehensive income or equity depending on the item to which the adjustment relates.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future recovery is probable. At each reporting period end, deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilute earnings per share is computed, using the treasury stock method, to show the potential reduction in earnings per share that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the prevailing market rate.

Accounting standards adopted

The following accounting standards have been adopted for the annual period beginning on July 1, 2018:

· IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) was initially issued by the IASB in November 2009 and issued in its completed version in July 2014 and will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 replaces the multiple rules in IAS 39 with a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value and a new mixed measurement model for debt instruments having only two categories: amortized cost and fair value. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

Accounting standards issued but not yet applied

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the June 30, 2019 reporting period. Management believes the following standards will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

· In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”). IFRS 16 eliminates the current dual model for lessees, which distinguishes between on-statement of financial position finance leases and off- statement of financial position operating leases. Instead, there is a single, on-statement of financial position accounting model that is similar to current finance lease accounting. The extent of the impact of adoption of IFRS 16 has not yet been determined. IFRS 16 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted.

3.       Mineral Exploration Properties

The Company has not capitalized any acquisition and exploration costs for its mineral properties.

Molo Graphite Property, Southern Madagascar Region, Madagascar

On December 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Definitive Joint Venture Agreement ("JVA") with Malagasy Minerals Limited ("Malagasy"), a public company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, to acquire a 75% interest in a property package for the exploration and development of industrial minerals, including graphite, vanadium and 25 other minerals. The land position consisted of 2,119 permits covering 827.7 square kilometers and is mostly adjacent towards the south and east with the Company's 100% owned Green Giant Vanadium Project. Pursuant to the JVA, the Company paid $2,261,690 and issued 7,500,000 common shares that were valued at $1,350,000.

On April 16, 2014, the Company signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement and a Mineral Rights Agreement (together “the Agreements”) with Malagasy to acquire the remaining 25% interest. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company paid $364,480 (CAD$400,000), issued 2,500,000 common shares subject to a 12-month voluntary vesting period that were valued at $325,000 and issued 3,500,000 common share purchase warrants, which were valued at $320,950 using Black-Scholes, with an exercise price of $0.14 and an expiry date of April 15, 2019. On May 20, 2015 and upon completion of a bankable feasibility study (“BFS”) for the Molo Graphite Property, the Company paid $546,000 (CAD$700,000) and issued 1,000,000 common shares, which were valued at $100,000. Malagasy retains a 1.5% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on the property. A further cash payment of approximately $771,510 (CAD$1,000,000) will be due within five days of the commencement of commercial production.

The Company also acquired a 100% interest in the industrial mineral rights on approximately 1 ½ additional claim blocks covering 10,811 hectares adjoining the east side of the Molo Graphite Property.

On June 1, 2017, we released the results of a positive updated Molo Feasibility Study for Phase 1 of the mine development plan utilizing a fully modular build-out approach which was based on the FEED Study and subsequent detailed engineering studies. Phase 1 would consist of a fully operational and sustainable graphite mine with a permanent processing plant capable of producing, in our estimation, approximately 17,000 tpa of high-quality SuperFlake™ graphite concentrate per year with a mine life of 30 years. The Phase 1 production costs were estimated at $433 per tonne at the plant and $688 per tonne delivered CIF port of Rotterdam. CIF refers to cost, insurance and freight included. The Phase 1 capital costs were estimated at $18.4 million with a construction projected but not guaranteed timeline of approximately 9 months. Based on an average selling cost of $1,014 per tonne, the Phase 1 was estimated to have a pre-tax NPV of $34 million using an 8% discount rate, a pre-tax internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 25.2%, and a post-tax IRR of 21.5%.

The Molo Graphite Project is located within Exploration Permit #3432 (“PR 3432”) as issued by the Bureau de Cadastre Minier de Madagascar (“BCMM”) pursuant to the Mining Code 1999 (as amended) and its implementing decrees. The Molo Graphite Project exploration permit PR 3432 is currently held under the name of our Madagascar subsidiary ERG Madagascar SARLU. Our Madagascar subsidiary has paid all taxes and administrative fees to the Madagascar government and its mining ministry with respect to all the mining permits held in country. These taxes and administrative fee payments have been acknowledged and accepted by the Madagascar government.

During fiscal 2017, the Company applied to the BCMM to have the exploration permit for the Molo Graphite Project converted into a mining permit. Despite repeated assurances by Ministers in the Madagascar government and from BCMM that the Company has followed all the regulations and that the application contained no deficiencies, the BCMM has not yet issued the mining permit to the Company. Our situation does not appear to be unique, since according to the Madagascar Chamber of Mines, the Madagascar government has not granted any new mining permits to any members during the past 18 months. Although Global Affairs Canada has been providing advocacy support for dealing with Madagascar government officials, it is believed the Company will have to await the outcome of the Presidential election scheduled to be completed in December 2018 before our permit is granted.

Following an Environmental Legal Review and an Environmental and Social Screening Assessment, which provided crucial information to align the project’s development and design with international best practice on sustainable project development, the Company completed a comprehensive Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA"), which was developed to local Madagascar (“Malagasy”), Equator Principles, World Bank and International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) standards. The ESIA was submitted to the Office National d’Environment (“ONE”) during fiscal 2018.

On February 15, 2019, the Company announced the Madagascar Government granted a 40-year mining license for the Molo Graphite Project and that the mining license does not limit mining to any specific volume. On April 11, 2019, the Company announced it had received the Global Environmental Permit for the Molo Graphite Project from the Madagascar Ministry of Environment’s Office National pour l'Environnement (the National Office for the Environment; or “ONE”).

Molo Graphite Property, Southern Madagascar Region, Madagascar - continued

Application for all other necessary permits to construct and operate the mine, including water use, facilities construction, mineral processing, transportation, export, and labour have been initiated.

The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the timing of the receipt of sufficient capital and of any of the permits and licenses necessary to initiate construction of the mine.

Further details regarding the Molo Graphite Project is included in the Molo Graphite Project Feasibility Study dated July 17, 2017 prepared in accordance with Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), which can be found on the our website at www.nextsourcematerials.com (such Technical Report and website are expressly not incorporated by reference into this filing) or in our Canadian regulatory filings at www.sedar.com (such website and content is expressly not incorporated by reference into this filing).

Green Giant Vanadium Project, Southern Madagascar Region, Madagascar

In 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Madagascar Minerals and Resources Sarl ("MMR") to acquire a 75% interest in the Green Giant property. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $765,000 in cash, issued 2,500,000 common shares and issued 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants, which have now expired.

On July 9, 2009, the Company acquired the remaining 25% interest by paying $100,000. MMR retains a 2% NSR. The first 1% NSR can be acquired at the Company's option by paying $500,000 in cash or common shares and the second 1% NSR can be acquired at the Company’s option by paying $1,000,000 in cash or common shares.

On April 16, 2014, the Company signed a Joint Venture Agreement with Malagasy, whereby Malagasy acquired a 75% interest in non-industrial minerals on the Company's 100% owned Green Giant Property. On May 21, 2015, Malagasy terminated the Joint Venture Agreement, which as a result, the Company reverted to its original 100% interest in all minerals on the property.

The Green Giant property is located within exploration permits issued by the Bureau de Cadastre Minier de Madagascar (“BCMM”) pursuant to the Mining Code 1999 (as amended) and its implementing decrees. The Green Giant property exploration permits are currently held under the name of our Madagascar subsidiary NextSource Minerals (Madagascar) SARLU. Our Madagascar subsidiary has paid all taxes and administrative fees to the Madagascar government and its mining ministry with respect to all the mining permits held in country. These taxes and administrative fee payments have been acknowledged and accepted by the Madagascar government.

Since early 2012, the Company has focused its efforts on the Molo Graphite Project and as such only limited work has been completed on the Green Giant Vanadium Project since that time.

Further details regarding the Green Giant Project is included in the Green Giant Project NI 43-101 Technical Report dated January 14, 2011, which can be found on the our website at www.nextsourcematerials.com (such Technical Report and website are expressly not incorporated by reference into this filing) or in our Canadian regulatory filings at www.sedar.com (such website and content is expressly not incorporated by reference into this filing).

Sagar Property, Labrador Trough Region, Quebec, Canada

In 2006, the Company purchased from Virginia Mines Inc. ("Virginia") a 100% interest in 369 claims located in northern Quebec, Canada. Virginia retains a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on certain claims within the property. Other unrelated parties also retain a 1% NSR and a 0.5% NSR on certain claims within the property, of which half of the 1% NSR can be acquired by the Company by paying $200,000 and half of the 0.5% NSR can be acquired by the Company by paying $100,000.

On February 28, 2014, the Company signed an agreement to sell a 35% interest in the Sagar property to Honey Badger Exploration Inc. (“Honey Badger”), a public company that is a related party through common management. The terms of the agreement were subsequently amended on July 31, 2014 and again on May 8, 2015. To earn the 35% interest, Honey Badger was required to complete a payment of $36,045 (CAD$50,000) by December 31, 2015, incur exploration expenditures of $360,450 (CAD$500,000) by December 31, 2016 and issue 20,000,000 common shares to the Company by December 31, 2015. Honey Badger did not complete the earn-in requirements by December 31, 2015 resulting in the termination of the option agreement.

Since early 2012, the Company has focused its efforts on the Molo Graphite Project and as such only minimal work has been completed on the Sagar Property since that time.

As of March 31, 2019, the Sagar property consisted of 234 claims covering a total area of 10,736.59 ha.

9.        Provision and Contingent Liability

Provision

During fiscal 2014, the Company issued 17,889,215 flow-through shares to eligible Canadian taxpayer subscribers which included a contractual commitment for the Company to incur $3,812,642 in eligible Canadian Exploration Expenditures (“CEEs”) by December 31, 2014 as per the provision of the Income Tax Act of Canada. The CEEs were renounced as a tax credit to the flow-through share subscribers on December 31, 2013. As at December 31, 2014, the Company had unfulfilled CEE obligations. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for the Part XII.6 taxes and related penalties payable to the Canada Revenue Agency and for the indemnification liability to subscribers of the flow-through shares for the additional taxes payable related to the CEE renunciation shortfall. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company paid $131,320 (2016: $nil) in Part XII.6 taxes, resulting in a reduction in the provision, and following a reassessment of its obligation to subscribers the Company increased the provision by $131,320.

Contingent Liabilities

On April 16, 2014, the Company signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement and a Mineral Rights Agreement (together “the Agreements”) with Malagasy to acquire the remaining 25% interest in the Molo Graphite Property. Pursuant to the Agreements, a further cash payment of approximately $771,510 (CAD$1,000,000) will be due within five days of the commencement of commercial production. Since this cash payment represents a possible obligation that depends on the occurrence of an uncertain future event, it has been recognized as a contingent liability and no amount has been recognized as a provision.

11.       Stock Options

The Company’s stock option plan is restricted to a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares. Under the stock option plan, the Company may grant stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Board of Directors administers the plan and determines the vesting and terms of each grant.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used by the Company to determine the fair value of stock option grants based on the market price, the exercise price, compound risk free interest rate, annualized volatility and number of periods until expiration. Each stock option entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at the respective exercise price prior to or on the respective expiration date.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 40,670,000 stock options issued and outstanding with a weighted average expiration of 3.2 years, which are exercisable into 40,670,000 common shares at a weighted average exercise price of $0.09. All stock options that are currently outstanding vested on the grant date.

The following is a schedule of the outstanding stock options for the period ending March 31, 2019:

Grant Date	Expiration Date	Exercise Price	Balance Outstanding June 30, 2018		Options Granted (Expired or Cancelled)			Options Exercised		Balance Outstanding March 31, 2019

14.       Capital Management

As at March 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital surplus of $432,230 (June 30, 2018: deficit of $124,868).

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the nine months ended March 31, 2019.

In managing liquidity, the Company’s primary objective is to ensure the entity can continue as a going concern while raising additional funding to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s operations to date have been funded by issuing equity. The Company expects to improve the working capital position by securing additional financing.

The Company’s investment policy is to invest excess cash in very low risk financial instruments such as term deposits or by holding funds in high yield savings accounts with major Canadian banks. Financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which may include currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

The Company’s mineral property interests are all in the exploration stage, as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its exploration activities and administrative costs. Management continues to assess the merits of mineral properties on an ongoing basis and may seek to acquire new properties or to increase ownership interests if it believes there is sufficient geologic and economic potential.

Management mitigates the risk and uncertainty associated with raising additional capital in current economic conditions through cost control measures that minimizes discretionary disbursements and reduces exploration expenditures that are deemed of limited strategic value.

The Company manages the capital structure (consisting of shareholders’ deficiency) on an ongoing basis and adjusts in response to changes in economic conditions and risks characteristics of its underlying assets. Adjustments to the Company’s capital structure may involve the issuance of new shares, assumption of new debt, acquisition or disposition of assets, or adjustments to the amounts held in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

15.       Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The following disclosures are to enable users of the consolidated financial statements to evaluate the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments at the end of the reporting period:

Credit risk

The Company does not currently have commercial customers and therefore does not have any credit risk related to accounts receivables. The Company has credit risk arising from the potential from counterparty default on cash and cash equivalents held on deposit with financial institutions. The Company manages this risk by ensuring that deposits are only held with large Canadian banks and financial institutions.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s financial obligations and in the management of its assets, liabilities and capital structure. The Company manages this risk by regularly evaluating its liquid financial resources to fund current and long-term obligations and to meet its capital commitments in a cost-effective manner.

The main factors that affect liquidity include working capital requirements, capital-expenditure requirements and equity capital market conditions. The Company’s liquidity requirements are met through a variety of sources, including cash and cash equivalents and equity capital markets.

As at March 31, 2019, the Company expects to access public debt and equity capital markets for financing over the next 12 months in order to initiate construction of its Molo Graphite Project in Madagascar and to satisfy working capital requirements. While the Company has been successful in obtaining required funding in the past, there is no assurance that future financings will be available.

As at March 31, 2019, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $1,238,301 (June 30, 2018: $338,702) to settle current liabilities of $906,199 (June 30, 2018: $519,351). As a result, the Company is currently exposed to liquidity risk.

Based on management’s assessment of its past ability to obtain required funding, the Company believes that it will be able to satisfy its current and long-term obligations as they come due.

Market risks

Market risk is the potential for financial loss from adverse changes in underlying market factors, including foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.

· Interest rate risk, is the sensitivity of the fair value or of the future cash flows of a financial instrument to changes in interest rates. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities that are subject to variable interest rates.

· Commodity price risks, is the sensitivity of the fair value of, or of the future cash flows, from mineral assets. The Company manages this risk by monitoring mineral prices and commodity price trends to determine the appropriate timing for funding the exploration or development of its mineral assets, or for the acquisition or disposition of mineral assets. The Company does not have any mineral assets at the development or production stage carried at historical cost. The Company has expensed the acquisition and exploration costs of its exploration stage mineral assets.

· Currency risk:  This is the sensitivity of the fair value or of the future cash flows of financial instruments to changes in foreign exchange rates.  The Company transacts in currencies other than the US dollar, including the Canadian dollar, the Madagascar Ariary, the Euro and the South African Rand.  The Company purchases services and has certain salary commitments in those currencies.  The Company also has monetary and financial instruments that may fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.  Derivative financial instruments are not used to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company is not sensitive to foreign exchange exposure since it has not made any commitments to deliver products quoted in foreign currencies. The Company is not sensitive to foreign exchange risk arising from the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the US dollar since it does not have any material assets and liabilities measured through other comprehensive income.   The impact of a 10% strengthening of the Canadian Dollar as of March 31, 2019 would result in a loss of $87,800 on the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.  The impact of a 10% strengthening of the Madagascar Ariary of March 31, 2019 would result in a gain of $4,500 on the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.  A 10% weakening of each currency would have the opposite impact.  The impact of a strengthening or weakening of any other foreign currency would not be material.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019

Forward-looking information is based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management and/or “qualified persons” (as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“”NI 43-101”)) made in light of their experience and their perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that management and/or qualified persons believe to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date that such statements are made, but which may prove to be incorrect. Although the Corporation believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information because the Corporation can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition to the assumptions discussed herein and in the Technical Report (as defined herein), the material assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are based include, among others, that: the Corporation will be successful in its financing activities; the demand for graphite will develop as anticipated; graphite prices will remain at or attain levels that would render the Molo Graphite Project potentially economic; that any proposed operating and capital plans will not be disrupted by operational issues, title issues, loss of permits, environmental concerns, power supply, labour disturbances, financing requirements or adverse weather conditions; the Corporation will continue to have the ability to attract and retain skilled staff; and there are no material unanticipated variations in the cost of energy or supplies. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all factors and assumptions which may have been used. Although the Corporation has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The forward-looking information contained herein is presented for the purposes of assisting investors in understanding the Corporation’s expected financial and operating performance and the Corporation’s plans and objectives and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

The Corporation does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Core Business and Objectives

NextSource Materials Inc. (the "Company" or “NextSource”) was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act and has a fiscal year end of June 30. The Company's registered head office and primary location of records is 145 Wellington Street West, Suite 1001, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 1H8.

The Company's principal business is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resources. The Company has yet to generate any revenue from mining operations or pay dividends and is unlikely to do so in the immediate or foreseeable future.

The Company, through a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, obtained a mining permit and environmental certificate for its Molo Graphite Project in Madagascar. The Molo Graphite Project is one of the largest-known and highest quality flake graphite deposits in the world. Although the Company released a NI 43-101 Technical Report Feasibility Study dated July 13, 2017 that concluded that Phase 1 of the Molo Graphite Project contains mineralization that is economically recoverable, the Company does not have the necessary capital to begin construction at this time.

In addition to the Molo Graphite Project, NextSource has 100% ownership of its NI 43-101 compliant Green Giant Vanadium Project, located just 11 kilometres from the Molo Project. The Green Giant Project is a rarely occurring, sedimentary-hosted deposit that also ranks as one of the largest-known and highest in-situ grade vanadium resources in the world.

The Company accepts the risks which are inherent to mineral exploration programs and the exposure to the cyclical nature of mineral prices. These risks are discussed in the Risk Factors section of this report.

Competitive Conditions

The mineral exploration and mining business are highly competitive. We compete with numerous other companies and individuals in the search for and the acquisition of financially attractive mineral properties. Our ability to acquire precious metal mineral properties in the future will depend not only on our ability to develop our present properties, but also on our ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for precious metal development or mineral exploration.

In addition, we also compete with other companies over retaining skilled experienced workers and sourcing raw materials and supplies used in connection with eventual development and mining operations.

Foreign Operations

Our foreign operations are exposed to various levels of political, economic and social risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties vary from country to country and include, but are not limited to: terrorism; hostage taking; military repression; expropriation; political corruption, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates; high rates of inflation; labour unrest; war or civil unrest; renegotiation or termination of existing concessions, licenses, permits and contracts; ability of governments to unilaterally alter agreements; surface land access issues; illegal mining; changes in taxation policies, laws and regulations; restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation; and changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favor or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political attitudes in such foreign countries are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business. Future development and operations may be affected in varying degrees by such factors as government regulations (or changes thereto) with respect to restrictions on production, export controls, import restrictions, such as restrictions applicable to, among other things, equipment, services and supplies, taxes, expropriation of property, repatriation of profits, environmental legislation, land use, water use, surface land access, land claims of local people and mine safety.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019

Corporate Redomicile

The Company completed a corporate redomicile from the State of Minnesota to Canada on December 27, 2017.

Corporate Structure

NextSource owns 100% of NextSource Materials (Mauritius) Ltd. (“MATMAU”), a Mauritius subsidiary, and 2391938 Ontario Inc., an Ontario Company.

MATMAU owns 100% of NextSource Minerals (Mauritius) Ltd. (“MINMAU”), a Mauritius subsidiary, NextSource Graphite (Mauritius) Ltd (“GRAMAU”), a Mauritius subsidiary, and NextSource Materials (Madagascar) SARL (“MATMAD”), a Madagascar subsidiary.

MINMAU owns 100% of NextSource Minerals (Madagascar) SARL (“MINMAD”), a Madagascar subsidiary. MINMAD holds the Green Giant Vanadium Project exploration permits.

GRAMAU owns 100% of ERG Madagascar SARL (“ERGMAD”), a Madagascar subsidiary. ERGMAD holds the Molo Graphite Project exploration permits.

Capital Structure

The Company’s common shares have no par value and the authorized share capital is composed of an unlimited number of common shares.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 507,417,021common shares issued and outstanding (June 30, 2018: 469,933,611).

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 40,670,000 stock options issued and outstanding with a weighted average expiration of 3.2 years, which are exercisable into 40,670,000 common shares at a weighted average exercise price of $0.09. All stock options that are currently outstanding vested on the grant date.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 14,152,636 common share purchase warrants issued and outstanding with a weighted average expiration of 1.05 years, which are exercisable into 14,152,636 common shares at a weighted average exercise price of $0.09. All warrants that are currently outstanding vested on the issue date.

Dividends and Distributions

The Company has yet to generate any revenue from mining operations or pay dividends since inception and is unlikely to do so in the immediate or foreseeable future. Our continued operations are dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain financing through the proceeds of securities subscriptions for the continued exploration and development of its mineral properties.

The value of a mineral project is highly dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineralization, the long-term preservation of the Company’s ownership interest in the underlying mineral property, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary funding to complete sufficient exploration activities on the property, and the prospects of any future profitable production therefrom, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its property interests on an advantageous basis.

Indebtedness

As of March 31, 2019, the Company did not have any outstanding debt, loans or credit facilities.

Employees and Contractors

The Company relies on the geological and industry expertise of its Toronto-based management team and engages contractors to complete certain aspects of its exploration programs.

NEXTSOURCE MATERIALS INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019

As of March 31, 2019, we had two employees and several contractors in addition to the Board of Directors, President & Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Certain professional, administrative and geological services are provided to the Company by independent contractors, including corporations and/or individuals who may be officers or directors of NextSource. No assurance can be given that qualified employees can be retained by NextSource when necessary.

Sustainability

The Company is committed to the health and safety of our workers and communities, the protection of the environment, and to the rights, culture and development of local communities.

Cautionary Note Regarding Operating Losses

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $102,208,784 (June 30, 2018: $100,744,927), has experienced recurring net losses and has negative operating cash flows. As such, conditions exist that may raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses for the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral properties in the exploration stage are ultimately developed into producing and profitable mines. Our future financial results are uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our company’s control. These factors include, but are not limited to: (a) our ability to raise additional funding; (b) the market price for graphite, vanadium, gold and/or uranium; (c) the results of the exploration programs and metallurgical analysis of our mineral properties; (d) the political instability and/or environmental regulations that may adversely impact costs and ability to operate in Madagascar; and (e) our ability to find joint venture and/or off-take partners in order to advance the development of our mineral properties.

Any future equity financing will cause existing shareholders to experience dilution of their ownership interest in our company. In the event we are not successful in raising additional financing, we anticipate our company will not be able to proceed with its business plan. In such a case, we may decide to discontinue or modify our current business plan and seek other business opportunities in the resource sector.

During this period, we will need to maintain periodic filings with the appropriate regulatory authorities and will incur legal, accounting, administrative and listing costs. In the event no other such opportunities are available, and we cannot raise additional capital to sustain operations, we may be forced to discontinue the business. We do not have any specific alternative business opportunities under consideration and have not planned for any such contingency.

Due to the present inability to generate revenues, accumulated losses, recurring losses and negative operating cash flows, the Company has stated its opinion in Note 1 of our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 that there currently exists substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Corporate Highlights

Three-Year History

In August 2016, we initiated a Front-End Engineering Design Study (the “FEED Study”) and value engineering for our Molo Graphite Project in Madagascar. The FEED Study was undertaken in order to optimize the mine plan as envisioned in the technical report titled "Molo Feasibility Study – National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Molo Graphite Project located near the village of Fotadrevo in the Province of Toliara, Madagascar", dated July 13, 2017, effective as of July 13, 2017 (the “Molo Feasibility Study”) and determine the optimal development path based on discussions with prospective strategic partners. All costing aspects were examined with the goal of providing a method to produce meaningful, multi-tonne test samples of Molo graphite concentrate to potential off-takers while reducing the CAPEX and time required to the commencement of commercial production.

On November 7, 2016, we outlined a phased mine development plan for the Molo Graphite Project based on the FEED Study and value engineering. The results supported the construction of a plant to test and verify the flow sheet design from the Molo Feasibility Study.

Phase 1

Phase 1 would consist of a fully operational and sustainable graphite mine with a permanent processing plant capable of producing, in our estimation, approximately 17,000 tpa of high-quality SuperFlake™ graphite concentrate with a mine life of 30 years (as discussed below). The fully-modularized mining operation in this phase will use a 100% owner-operated fleet that we believe will process an average of 240,000 tonnes of ore per year (or 30 tonnes per hour) of mill feed (ore) that will be processed on site. Phase 1 will provide “proof of concept” for the modular methodology and allow NextSource the flexibility to optimize further the process circuit while being capable of supplying a true “run-of-mine” flake concentrate to potential off-takers and customers for final product validation. All supporting infrastructure including water, fuel, power, dry-stack tailings and essential buildings will be constructed during Phase 1 to sustain the fully operational and permanent processing plant. The plant will utilize dry-stack tailings in order to eliminate the up-front capital costs associated with a tailings dam. NextSource’s existing camp adjacent to the nearby town of Fotadrevo will be used to accommodate employees and offices, with additional housing available within the town for additional employees.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019

Phase 2

Phase 2 would consist of a modular expansion to plant capable of producing approximately 50,000 tpa of high-quality SuperFlake™ graphite concentrate. Timing of the implementation of Phase 2 will be determined by market demand for SuperFlake™ graphite and the ability of the Company to finance the modular expansion. It is expected that the Phase 2 expansion will incorporate the unique full-modular build approach used in Phase 1. This phase will include the construction of additional on-site accommodation and offices, upgrading of road infrastructure, port facility upgrades, a wet tailings dam facility and further equipment purchases to provide redundancy within the processing circuit. The costs for these capital expenditures are unknown at this time but will be assessed as part of an economic analysis to be completed in due course.

On June 1, 2017, we released the results of a positive updated Molo Feasibility Study for Phase 1 of the mine development plan utilizing a fully modular build-out approach which was based on the FEED Study and subsequent detailed engineering studies. Phase 1 would consist of a fully operational and sustainable graphite mine with a permanent processing plant capable of producing, in our estimation, approximately 17,000 tpa of high-quality SuperFlake™ graphite concentrate per year with a mine life of 30 years. The Phase 1 production costs were estimated at $433 per tonne at the plant and $688 per tonne delivered CIF port of Rotterdam. CIF refers to cost, insurance and freight included. The Phase 1 capital costs were estimated at $18.4 million with a construction projected but not guaranteed timeline of approximately 9 months. Based on an average selling cost of $1,014 per tonne, the Phase 1 was estimated to have (i) a pre-tax NPV of $34 million using an 8% discount rate and a pre-tax internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 25.2%; and (ii) a post-tax NPV of $25.5 million using an 8% discount rate and a post-tax IRR of 21.5%.

On December 27, 2017, the Company completed a corporate redomicile from Minnesota to Canada. This is expected to reduce our legal and regulatory compliance costs and improve our financing opportunities. The Company does not have any offices, personnel or mineral projects in the US. The presentation and functional currency of the Company will continue to be the US dollar. Upon completing the redomicile, the Company adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

On April 13, 2018, the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares upon the exercise of 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants for gross proceeds of $110,000.

On August 17, 2018, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement offering of 21,059,270 units at a price of $0.053 (CAD$0.07) per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,120,353 (CAD$1,474,149). Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.076 (CAD$0.10) for a period of two years. The share issue costs consisting of finder’s fees totaled $16,576 plus the issuance of 337,714 common shares and 123,000 common share purchase warrants, with each warrant exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.076 (CAD$0.10) for a period of two years.

On October 16, 2018, the Company announced the signing of an Offtake Agreement with the primary graphite supplier to a major Japanese electric vehicle anode producer. The Offtake Agreement is for a period of ten (10) years and activates on the commencement of commercial production at the Molo project, with an automatic renewal for an additional five (5) years. The Japanese Partner will have the exclusive right to import and sell SuperFlake® graphite concentrate in Japan. Provided that commercial production commences within 3 years, following the ramp up period, the Japanese Partner will purchase 20,000 tonnes of SuperFlake® graphite per annum Product prices will be negotiated on a per order basis between the parties and will be based on the floating market prices (FOB basis) prevailing in the region.

On February 15, 2019, the Company announced the Madagascar Government granted a 40-year mining license for the Molo Graphite Project and that the mining license does not limit mining to any specific volume.

On April 11, 2019, the Company announced it had received the Global Environmental Permit for the Molo Graphite Project from the Madagascar Ministry of Environment’s Office National pour l'Environnement (the National Office for the Environment; or “ONE”). This follows the completion of the Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) and Relocation Action Plan (“RAP”) to International Finance Corporation (IFC) performance standards and World Bank standards, the completion of local and regional stakeholder and community engagement, and the completion of negotiations and signed agreements with all potentially affected land occupants to accept compensation for any affected crops and grazing land and relocation if needed.

Future Outlook and Business Plan

Now that the Company has received the mining permit and the environmental permit, applications for all other necessary permits to construct and operate the mine, including water use, facilities construction, mineral processing, transportation, export, and labour have been initiated. The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the timing of the receipt of sufficient capital and of any of the permits and licenses necessary to initiate construction of the mine.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019

The Company is currently compiling a comprehensive legal register and will complete the security of land tenure process upon receipt of the environmental permit, which is expected to take 1-2 months.

The Company has continued to pursue negotiations in respect of potential off-take agreements with graphite end-users and intermediaries with the intention of securing project financing alternatives, which may include debt, equity and derivative instruments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred approximately $701,468 in expenditures relating to the Molo Graphite Project and for general working capital purposes. As at the date hereof, the timing of the advancement of the next stage of Phase 1 of the Molo Graphite Project is entirely contingent upon obtaining additional capital through financing activities. In the event that such financing is not available, the Company will not be able to pursue any substantial work in connection with the development of Molo Graphite Project. In the event that the Company is successful in raising additional capital, the Company plans to develop the Molo Graphite Project and incur capital costs related thereto in the amount of approximately US$18 million as well as additional costs relating to permitting, engineering, professional fees, G&A and working capital. In addition, the Company is currently assessing a staged contingent approach to progress the development of the Molo Graphite Project in the event that the entire projected development costs are not available to the Company. No assurances can be provided that we will achieve our Phase 1 production objective within such 12-month period.

Subject to and upon receipt of additional capital, the Company also expects to pursue further work on the Green Giant Vanadium Project in order to complete an updated technical report. The budget for this work is estimated to be up to $500,000 over a 12-month period.

The above amounts may be updated based on actual costs and the start of these expenditures may be delayed or adjusted based on several factors, including the date the mining and other necessary permit are received to begin construction and the availability of capital to fund the budget. We anticipate that the source of funds required to complete our objectives will come from private placements in the capital markets and debt funding, but there can be no assurance that sufficient financing will be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all.

We will also continue to assess the addition of back-end value-added processing for lithium-ion battery and graphite foil applications in the classification portion of the plant. The costs for any value-added processing is unknown at this time but will be assessed in parallel with the development of Phase 1.

Discussions in respect of negotiating and structuring strategic partnerships, off take agreements and debt financing for our Molo Graphite Project in Madagascar are ongoing and are expected to continue during the coming months with no assurances as to the conclusion or results of these discussions.

Molo Graphite Property, Southern Madagascar Region, Madagascar

On December 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Definitive Joint Venture Agreement ("JVA") with Malagasy Minerals Limited ("Malagasy"), a public company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, to acquire a 75% interest in a property package for the exploration and development of industrial minerals, including graphite, vanadium and 25 other minerals. The land position consisted of 2,119 permits covering 827.7 square kilometers and is mostly adjacent towards the south and east with the Company's 100% owned Green Giant Vanadium Project. Pursuant to the JVA, the Company paid $2,261,690 and issued 7,500,000 common shares that were valued at $1,350,000.

On April 16, 2014, the Company signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement and a Mineral Rights Agreement (together “the Agreements”) with Malagasy to acquire the remaining 25% interest. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company paid $364,480 (CAD$400,000), issued 2,500,000 common shares subject to a 12-month voluntary vesting period that were valued at $325,000 and issued 3,500,000 common share purchase warrants, which were valued at $320,950 using Black-Scholes, with an exercise price of $0.14 and an expiry date of April 15, 2019. On May 20, 2015 and upon completion of a bankable feasibility study (“BFS”) for the Molo Graphite Property, the Company paid $546,000 (CAD$700,000) and issued 1,000,000 common shares, which were valued at $100,000. Malagasy retains a 1.5% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on the property. A further cash payment of approximately $771,510 (CAD$1,000,000) will be due within five days of the commencement of commercial production.

The Company also acquired a 100% interest in the industrial mineral rights on approximately 1 ½ additional claim blocks covering 10,811 hectares adjoining the east side of the Molo Graphite Property.

The Molo Graphite Project is located within Exploration Permit #3432 (“PR 3432”) as issued by the Bureau de Cadastre Minier de Madagascar (“BCMM”) pursuant to the Mining Code 1999 (as amended) and its implementing decrees. The Molo Graphite Project exploration permit PR 3432 is currently held under the name of our Madagascar subsidiary ERG Madagascar SARLU. Our Madagascar subsidiary has paid all taxes and administrative fees to the Madagascar government and its mining ministry with respect to all the mining permits held in country. These taxes and administrative fee payments have been acknowledged and accepted by the Madagascar government.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019

During fiscal 2017, the Company applied to the BCMM to have the exploration permit for the Molo Graphite Project converted into a mining permit. Despite repeated assurances by Ministers in the Madagascar government and from BCMM that the Company has followed all the regulations and that the application contained no deficiencies, the BCMM has not yet issued the mining permit to the Company. Our situation does not appear to be unique, since according to the Madagascar Chamber of Mines, the Madagascar government has not granted any new mining permits to any members during the past 18 months. Although Global Affairs Canada has been providing advocacy support for dealing with Madagascar government officials, it is believed the Company will have to await the outcome of the Presidential election scheduled for November 2018 before our permit is granted.

Following an Environmental Legal Review and an Environmental and Social Screening Assessment, which provided crucial information to align the project’s development and design with international best practice on sustainable project development, the Company completed a comprehensive Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA"), which was developed to local Madagascar (“Malagasy”), Equator Principles, World Bank and International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) standards. The ESIA was submitted to the Office National d’Environment (“ONE”) during fiscal 2018. The Company received a notice of conditional approval of its global environmental permit (the “environmental permit”) in January of 2019.

On February 15, 2019, the Company announced the Madagascar Government granted a 40-year mining license for the Molo Graphite Project and that the mining license does not limit mining to any specific volume. On April 11, 2019, the Company announced it had received the Global Environmental Permit for the Molo Graphite Project from the Madagascar Ministry of Environment’s Office National pour l'Environnement (the National Office for the Environment; or “ONE”).

Application for all other necessary permits to construct and operate the mine, including water use, facilities construction, mineral processing, transportation, export, and labour have been initiated.

The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the timing of the receipt of sufficient capital and of any of the permits and licenses necessary to initiate construction of the mine.

Further details regarding the Molo Graphite Project is included in the Molo Graphite Project Feasibility Study dated July 17, 2017 prepared in accordance with Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), which can be found on the our website at www.nextsourcematerials.com (such Technical Report and website are expressly not incorporated by reference into this filing) or in our Canadian regulatory filings at www.sedar.com (such website and content is expressly not incorporated by reference into this filing).

Green Giant Vanadium Project, Southern Madagascar Region, Madagascar

In 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Madagascar Minerals and Resources Sarl ("MMR") to acquire a 75% interest in the Green Giant property. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $765,000 in cash, issued 2,500,000 common shares and issued 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants, which have now expired.

On July 9, 2009, the Company acquired the remaining 25% interest by paying $100,000. MMR retains a 2% NSR. The first 1% NSR can be acquired at the Company's option by paying $500,000 in cash or common shares and the second 1% NSR can be acquired at the Company’s option by paying $1,000,000 in cash or common shares.

On April 16, 2014, the Company signed a Joint Venture Agreement with Malagasy, whereby Malagasy acquired a 75% interest in non-industrial minerals on the Company's 100% owned Green Giant Property. On May 21, 2015, Malagasy terminated the Joint Venture Agreement, which as a result, the Company reverted to its original 100% interest in all minerals on the property.

The Green Giant property is located within exploration permits issued by the Bureau de Cadastre Minier de Madagascar (“BCMM”) pursuant to the Mining Code 1999 (as amended) and its implementing decrees. The Green Giant property exploration permits are currently held under the name of our Madagascar subsidiary NextSource Minerals (Madagascar) SARLU. Our Madagascar subsidiary has paid all taxes and administrative fees to the Madagascar government and its mining ministry with respect to all the mining permits held in country. These taxes and administrative fee payments have been acknowledged and accepted by the Madagascar government.

Since early 2012, the Company has focused its efforts on the Molo Graphite Project and as such only limited work has been completed on the Green Giant Vanadium Project since that time.

Further details regarding the Green Giant Project is included in the Green Giant Project NI 43-101 Technical Report dated January 14, 2011, which can be found on the our website at www.nextsourcematerials.com (such Technical Report and website are expressly not incorporated by reference into this filing) or in our Canadian regulatory filings at www.sedar.com (such website and content is expressly not incorporated by reference into this filing).

Sagar Property, Labrador Trough Region, Quebec, Canada

In 2006, the Company purchased from Virginia Mines Inc. ("Virginia") a 100% interest in 369 claims located in northern Quebec, Canada. Virginia retains a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on certain claims within the property. Other unrelated parties also retain a 1% NSR and a 0.5% NSR on certain claims within the property, of which half of the 1% NSR can be acquired by the Company by paying $200,000 and half of the 0.5% NSR can be acquired by the Company by paying $100,000.

On February 28, 2014, the Company signed an agreement to sell a 35% interest in the Sagar property to Honey Badger Exploration Inc. (“Honey Badger”), a public company that is a related party through common management. The terms of the agreement were subsequently amended on July 31, 2014 and again on May 8, 2015. To earn the 35% interest, Honey Badger was required to complete a payment of $36,045 (CAD$50,000) by December 31, 2015, incur exploration expenditures of $360,450 (CAD$500,000) by December 31, 2016 and issue 20,000,000 common shares to the Company by December 31, 2015. Honey Badger did not complete the earn-in requirements by December 31, 2015 resulting in the termination of the option agreement.

Since early 2012, the Company has focused its efforts on the Molo Graphite Project and as such only minimal work has been completed on the Sagar Property since that time.

As of March 31, 2019, the Sagar property consisted of 234 claims covering a total area of 10,736.59 ha.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments Excluding Provisions

The Company does not have any contractual obligations or commitments other than trade accounts payable due within one-year totaling $165,787 (June 30, 2018: $140,865) and accrued liabilities totaling $238,760 (June 30, 2018: $197,834).

Provision

During fiscal 2014, the Company issued 17,889,215 flow-through shares to eligible Canadian taxpayer subscribers which included a contractual commitment for the Company to incur $3,812,642 in eligible Canadian Exploration Expenditures (“CEEs”) by December 31, 2014 as per the provision of the Income Tax Act of Canada. The CEEs were renounced as a tax credit to the flow-through share subscribers on December 31, 2013. As at December 31, 2014, the Company had unfulfilled CEE obligations. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for the Part XII.6 taxes and related penalties payable to the Canada Revenue Agency and for the indemnification liability to subscribers of the flow-through shares for the additional taxes payable related to the CEE renunciation shortfall. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company paid $131,320 (2016: $nil) in Part XII.6 taxes, resulting in a reduction in the provision, and following a reassessment of its obligation to subscribers the Company increased the provision by $131,320.

Contingent Liabilities

On April 16, 2014, the Company signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement and a Mineral Rights Agreement (together “the Agreements”) with Malagasy to acquire the remaining 25% interest in the Molo Graphite Property. Pursuant to the Agreements, a further cash payment of approximately $771,510 (CAD$1,000,000) will be due within five days of the commencement of commercial production. Since this cash payment represents a possible obligation that depends on the occurrence of an uncertain future event, it has been recognized as a contingent liability and no amount has been recognized as a provision.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019

Off-balance sheet arrangements

The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements including any arrangements that would affect the liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

Capital Management

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the nine months ended March 31, 2019.

In managing liquidity, the Company’s primary objective is to ensure the entity can continue as a going concern while raising additional funding to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s operations to date have been funded by issuing equity. The Company expects to improve the working capital position by securing additional financing.

The Company’s investment policy is to invest excess cash in very low risk financial instruments such as term deposits or by holding funds in high yield savings accounts with major Canadian banks. Financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which may include currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

The Company’s mineral property interests are all in the exploration stage, as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its exploration activities and administrative costs. Management continues to assess the merits of mineral properties on an ongoing basis and may seek to acquire new properties or to increase ownership interests if it believes there is sufficient geologic and economic potential.

Management mitigates the risk and uncertainty associated with raising additional capital in current economic conditions through cost control measures that minimizes discretionary disbursements and reduces exploration expenditures that are deemed of limited strategic value.

The Company manages the capital structure (consisting of shareholders’ deficiency) on an ongoing basis and adjusts in response to changes in economic conditions and risks characteristics of its underlying assets. Adjustments to the Company’s capital structure may involve the issuance of new shares, assumption of new debt, acquisition or disposition of assets, or adjustments to the amounts held in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Legal Proceedings

We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

Managing Risk Factors

The Company manages risks inherent to its business and has procedures to identify and manage significant operational and financial risks. The reader is cautioned to carefully review the risk factors identified below in addition to the risk factors disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018 and our most recent AIF.

Any such risk factors could materially affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition and/or future operating results and prospects and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and information relating to the Corporation. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently identified by the Corporation or that the Corporation currently believes not to be material also may materially and adversely affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition, operations or prospects.

The Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The independent auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Corporation contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. Due to the Corporation’s lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, the Corporation has sustained operating losses since its inception.

If the Corporation is unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term as required or achieve profitability, then the Corporation would, in all likelihood, experience severe liquidity problems and may have to curtail business activities. If the Corporation curtails business activities, the Corporation may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, the result of which will adversely affect the value of the securities of the Corporation.

Development projects are uncertain, and it is possible that actual capital and operating costs and economic returns will differ significantly from those estimated for a project prior to production.

Mine development projects, including the Molo Graphite Project, require significant expenditures during the development phase before production is possible.

Development projects are subject to the completion of successful feasibility studies and environmental assessments, issuance of necessary governmental permits and availability of adequate financing. The economic feasibility of development projects is based on many factors such as: estimation of mineral reserves, anticipated recoveries, environmental considerations and permitting, future commodity prices, and anticipated capital and operating costs of these projects. It is not unusual in new mining operations to experience unexpected problems during the start-up phase, and delays can often occur at the start of production.

Particularly for development projects, mineral reserve estimates and cash operating costs are, to a large extent, based upon the interpretation of geologic data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques, and feasibility studies that derive estimates of cash operating costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, the configuration of the ore body, expected recovery rates of metals from the ore, estimated operating costs, anticipated climatic conditions and other factors. As a result, it is possible that actual capital and operating costs and economic returns will differ significantly from those currently estimated for a project prior to production.

Any of the following events, among others, could affect the profitability or economic feasibility of the Molo Graphite Project: unanticipated changes in grade and tonnes of material to be mined and processed, unanticipated adverse geological conditions, unanticipated recovery problems, incorrect data on which engineering assumptions are made, availability and costs of labor, costs of processing, availability of economic sources of power, adequacy of water supply, availability of surface on which to locate processing facilities, adequate access to the site, unanticipated transportation costs, government regulations (including regulations with respect to prices, royalties, duties, taxes, permitting, restrictions on production, quotas on exportation of minerals, environmental), fluctuations in commodity prices, accidents, labor actions, the availability and delivery of critical equipment, successful commissioning and start-up of operations, including the achievement of designed plant recovery rates and force-majeure events.

The Molo Graphite Project has not yet been built and accordingly has no operating history upon which to base estimates of future production and cash operating costs. The price of graphite can fluctuate significantly on a month-to-month and year-to-year basis. Declining graphite prices can impact operations by forcing a reassessment of the feasibility of the Molo Graphite Project.

It is likely that actual results for the Molo Graphite Project will differ from current estimates and assumptions, and these differences may be material. In addition, experience from actual mining or processing operations may identify new or unexpected conditions that could reduce production below, or increase capital or operating costs above, current estimates. If actual results are less favorable than currently estimated, the Corporation’s business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019

The Corporation’s development and exploration projects are in the African country of Madagascar and are subject to country political and regulatory risks.

A new president of Madagascar was inaugurated in January 2019 following democratic elections. The Corporation is actively monitoring the political climate in Madagascar and continues to hold meetings with new representatives of the government and the Ministries in charge of mining. Depending on future actions taken by the newly elected government, or any future government, the Corporation’s business operations could be impacted.

Companies in the mining and metals sector continue to be targeted to raise government revenue, particularly as governments struggle with deficits and concerns over the effects of depressed economies. Many governments are continually assessing the fiscal terms of the economic rent for mining companies to exploit resources in their countries.

The government of Madagascar has granted mining claims, permits, and licenses that will enable us to conduct anticipated operations or exploration and development activities. Notwithstanding, these arrangements, the Corporation’s ability to conduct operations, exploration and/or development activities at any of its properties is subject to obtaining and/or renewing permits or concessions, changes in laws or government regulations or shifts in political attitudes beyond its control.

Any adverse developments to the political and regulatory situation in Madagascar could have a material effect on the Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Corporation’s operations may also be affected in varying degrees by terrorism; military conflict or repression; crime; populism; activism; labour unrest; attempts to renegotiate or nullify existing concessions, licenses, permits and contracts; unstable or unreliable legal systems; changes in fiscal regimes including taxation, and other risks arising out of sovereignty issues.

The Corporation does not currently carry political risk insurance covering its investments in Madagascar. It may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments in Canada against a loss suffered on the Corporation’s assets and operations in Madagascar.

Dependence on the Molo Graphite Project.

The Corporation’s principal mineral property is the Molo Graphite Project. As a result, unless the Corporation acquires or develops any additional material properties or projects, any adverse developments affecting this project or our rights to develop the Molo Graphite Project could materially adversely affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additional permits and licenses are necessary to complete the development of the Molo Graphite Project.

The Corporation successfully converted its exploration permit for the Molo Graphite Project into a mining permit. However, the Corporation requires additional permits necessary to construct and operate the mine, including water use, construction, mineral processing, transportation, export, and labour. Applications for these additional permits and licenses will be undertaken in due course at the appropriate time.

The Corporation cannot provide any assurance as to the timing of the receipt of any of the additional permits and licenses necessary to initiate construction of the mine.

Mining companies are increasingly required to consider and provide benefits to the communities and countries in which they operate, and are subject to extensive environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.

As a result of public concern about the real or perceived detrimental effects of economic globalization and global climate impacts, businesses generally and large multinational corporations in natural resources industries face increasing public scrutiny of their activities. These businesses are under pressure to demonstrate that, as they seek to generate satisfactory returns on investment to shareholders, other stakeholders, including employees, governments, communities surrounding operations and the countries in which they operate, benefit and will continue to benefit from their commercial activities. Such pressures tend to be particularly focused on companies whose activities are perceived to have a high impact on their social and physical environment. The potential consequences of these pressures include reputational damage, legal suits, increasing social investment obligations and pressure to increase taxes and royalties payable to governments and communities.

In addition, the Corporation’s ability to successfully obtain key permits and approvals to explore for, develop and operate mines and to successfully operate in communities around the world will likely depend on the Corporation’s ability to develop, operate and close mines in a manner that is consistent with the creation of social and economic benefits in the surrounding communities, which may or may not be required by law. The Corporation’s ability to obtain permits and approvals and to successfully operate in particular communities may be adversely impacted by real or perceived detrimental events associated with the Corporation’s activities or those of other mining companies affecting the environment, human health and safety of communities in which the Corporation operates. Delays in obtaining or failure to obtain government permits and approvals may adversely affect the Corporation’s operations, including its ability to explore or develop properties, commence production or continue operations. Key permits and approvals may be revoked or suspended or may be varied in a manner that adversely affects the Corporation’s operations, including its ability to explore or develop properties, commence production or continue operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019

The Corporation’s business operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing worker health and safety and land use and the protection of the environment, which generally apply to air and water quality, protection of endangered, protected or other specified species, hazardous waste management and reclamation. The Corporation has made, and expect to make in the future, significant expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws and regulations imposes substantial costs and burdens, and can cause delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, government permits and approvals which may adversely impact the Corporation’s closure processes and operations.

Fluctuations in the market price of graphite and other metals may adversely affect the value of the Corporation’s securities and the ability of the Corporation to develop the Molo Graphite Project.

The value of the Corporation’s securities may be significantly affected by the market price of graphite and other metals, which are cyclical and subject to substantial price fluctuations. Market prices can be affected by numerous factors beyond the Corporation’s control, including levels of supply and demand for a broad range of industrial products, economic growth rates of various international economies, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the relative strength of various currencies, interest rates, speculative activities, global or regional political or economic circumstances. The Chinese market is a significant source of global demand for commodities, including graphite. Chinese demand has been a major driver in global commodities markets for a number of years and recent reductions in Chinese demand have adversely affected prices for graphite. A further slowing in China’s economic growth could result in even lower prices and could negatively impact the value of the Corporation’s securities. Prolonged decreases in the price of graphite or other metals could adversely impact the ability of the Corporation to proceed with the development of the Molo Graphite Project.

The Corporation may not have access to sufficient capital to develop the Molo Graphite Project.

The Corporation has limited capital, which is insufficient to development the Molo Graphite Project. The Corporation’s ability to develop the project will depend primarily on its ability to obtain additional capital in the form of private or public equity or debt financing. Access to mine financing has been negatively impacted by the prolonged decline in commodities prices. Therefore, there is no assurance that the Corporation will secure sufficient financing, or the Corporation may be unable to locate and secure capital on terms and conditions that are acceptable to the Corporation. Any equity financing may have a dilutive effect on the value of the Corporation’s securities. Any debt financing, if available, may involve financial covenants which limit operations and could be secured against all of the Corporation’s assets. If the Corporation cannot obtain additional capital, the Corporation may not be able to complete the development of the Molo Graphite Project, which would have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results and financial condition of the Corporation.

The Corporation has a limited operating history and expects to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.

The Corporation has principally operated as a mineral exploration company since incorporation and has just received its first mining permit. There are numerous difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration and development companies, and these companies experience a high rate of failure.

The Corporation has not earned any revenues and the Corporation has not been profitable. It is anticipated that the Corporation will continue to report negative operating cash flow in future periods, likely until after the Molo Graphite Project generates recurring revenues from being placed into production of which there is no assurance. The Corporation has no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that the business will prove successful, and the Corporation can provide no assurance to investors that it will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.

Due to the speculative nature of mineral property exploration, there is substantial risk that the Corporation’s assets will not go into commercial production and the business will fail.

Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. The Corporation cannot provide investors with any assurance that the Corporation’s claims and properties will ever enter into commercial production. The exploration work that the Corporation has completed on the Molo Graphite Project claims may not result in the commercial production of graphite. The exploration work that the Corporation has completed on the Green Giant Vanadium Project may not result in the commercial production of vanadium or other minerals.

Estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves may not be realized.

Mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are only estimates and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of minerals will be realized or that an identified mineral resource will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) deposit which can be legally and economically exploited. The Corporation relies on laboratory-based recovery models to project estimated ultimate recoveries by mineral type. There can be no assurance that mineral recovery in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale operations. Actual recoveries may exceed or fall short of projected laboratory test results. In addition, the grade of mineralization ultimately mined may differ from the one indicated by the drilling results and the difference may be material. Production can be affected by such factors as permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations, inaccurate or incorrect geologic, metallurgical or engineering work, and work interruptions, among other things. Short term factors, such as the need for an orderly development of deposits or the processing of new or different grades, may have an adverse effect on mining operations or the results of those operations. Material changes in mineral reserves or mineral resources, grades, waste-to-ore ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of projects. The estimated mineral reserves and mineral resources should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of future operations

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that the Corporation may incur liability or damages as the Corporation conducts business.

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, the Corporation may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which the Corporation cannot, or may elect not, to insure against. The Corporation currently has no such insurance, but management intends to periodically review the availability of commercially reasonable insurance coverage. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed the Corporation’s asset value and cause us to liquidate all of its assets.

The Corporation’s operations are subject to environmental regulations, which could result in additional costs and operational delays. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that may require stricter standards, and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors, and employees. There is no assurance that any future changes in environmental regulation will not negatively affect the Corporation’s projects.

The Corporation has no insurance for environmental problems.

Insurance against environmental risks, including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production, has not been available generally in the mining industry. The Corporation has no insurance coverage for most environmental risks. In the event of a problem, the payment of environmental liabilities and costs would reduce the funds available to us for future operations. If the Corporation is unable to full pay for the cost of remedying an environmental problem, the Corporation might be required to enter into an interim compliance measure pending completion of the required remedy.

Should the Corporation lose the services of key executives, the Corporation’s financial condition and proposed expansion may be negatively impacted.

The Corporation depends on the continued contributions of the Corporation’s executive officers to work effectively as a team, to execute its business strategy and to manage its business. The loss of key personnel, or their failure to work effectively, could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations. Specifically, the Corporation relies on Craig Scherba, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Marc Johnson, the Chief Financial Officer.

The Corporation does not maintain key man life insurance. Should the Corporation lose any or all of their services and the Corporation is unable to replace their services with equally competent and experienced personnel, the Corporation’s operational goals and strategies may be adversely affected, which will negatively affect potential revenues.

Because access to the Corporation’s properties may be restricted by inclement weather or proper infrastructure, its exploration programs are likely to experience delays.

Access to most of the properties underlying the Corporation’s claims and interests is restricted due to their remote locations and because of weather conditions. Some of the Corporation’s properties are only accessible by air. As a result, any attempts to visit, test, or explore the property are generally limited to those periods when weather permits such activities. These limitations can result in significant delays in exploration efforts, as well as mining and production efforts in the event that commercial amounts of minerals are found. This could cause the Corporation’s business to fail.

Climate change and related regulatory responses may impact the Corporation’s business.

Climate change as a result of emissions of greenhouse gases is a current topic of discussion and may generate government regulatory responses in the near future. It is impracticable to predict with any certainty the impact of climate change on the Corporation’s business or the regulatory responses to it, although the Corporation recognizes that they could be significant. However, it is too soon for us to predict with any certainty the ultimate impact, either directionally or quantitatively, of climate change and related regulatory responses.

To the extent that climate change increases the risk of natural disasters or other disruptive events in the areas in which the Corporation operates, the Corporation could be harmed. While the Corporation maintains rudimentary business recovery plans that are intended to allow us to recover from natural disasters or other events that can be disruptive to the Corporation’s business, its plans may not fully protect us from all such disasters or events.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for management.

The Corporation’s management team needs to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

Tax risks.

Changes in tax laws or tax rulings could materially affect the Corporation’s financial position and results of operations. Changes to, or differing interpretations of, taxation laws or regulations in Canada, Madagascar, the United States of America, or any of the countries in which the Corporation’s assets or relevant contracting parties are located could result in some or all of the Corporation’s profits being subject to additional taxation or other tax liabilities being applicable to the Corporation or its subsidiaries. Taxation laws are complex, subject to differing interpretations and applications by the relevant tax authorities. In particular, the tax treatment relating to the Corporation’s corporate redomicile from the US to Canada is complex. There is no assurance that new taxation rules or accounting policies will not be enacted or that existing rules will not be applied in a manner which could result in the Corporation’s profits being subject to additional taxation or which could otherwise have a material adverse effect on profitability, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of the Corporation’s securities. Additionally, the introduction of new tax rules or accounting policies, or changes to, or differing interpretations of, or application of, existing tax rules or accounting policies could make investments in or by the Corporation less attractive to counterparties. Such changes could adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to raise additional funding or make future investments.

The Corporation’s business is subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, a breach or violation of which could lead to civil and criminal fines and penalties, loss of licenses or permits and reputational harm.

The Corporation operates in certain jurisdictions that have experienced governmental and private sector corruption to some degree, and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with certain local customs and practices. Anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws in certain jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or other commercial advantage. The Corporation’s corporate policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws, which often carry substantial penalties. There can be no assurance that the Corporation’s internal control policies and procedures always will protect it from recklessness, fraudulent behavior, dishonesty or other inappropriate acts committed by the Corporation’s affiliates, employees or agents. As such, the Corporation’s corporate policies and processes may not prevent all potential breaches of law or other governance practices. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could lead to civil and criminal fines and penalties, litigation, and loss of operating licenses or permits, and may damage the Corporation’s reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position and results of operations or cause the market value of the Common Shares to decline.

The Corporation does not intend to pay dividends.

The Corporation does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Corporation may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, the Corporation may nevertheless decide, in its sole discretion, not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of the Corporation’s operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors the board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that the Corporation will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

Because from time to time the Corporation holds a significant portion of cash reserves in Canadian dollars, the Corporation may experience losses due to foreign exchange translations.

From time to time the Corporation holds a significant portion of cash reserves in Canadian dollars. Due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the value of these Canadian dollar reserves can result in translation gains or losses in U.S. dollar terms. If there was a significant decline in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar, the Corporation’s converted Canadian dollar cash balances presented in U.S. dollars on its balance sheet would significantly decline. If the US dollar significantly declines relative to the Canadian dollar the Corporation’s quoted US dollar cash position would significantly decline as it would be more expensive in US dollar terms to pay Canadian dollar expenses. The Corporation has not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. In addition, certain of the Corporation’s ongoing expenditures are in South African Rand, Madagascar Ariary and Euros requiring us to occasionally hold reserves of these foreign currencies with a similar risk of foreign exchange currency translation losses.

The Corporation is exposed to general economic conditions, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, operating results and financial condition.

Recently there have been adverse conditions and uncertainty in the global economy as the result of unstable global financial and credit markets, inflation, and recession. These unfavorable economic conditions and the weakness of the credit market may continue to have, an impact on the Corporation’s business and the Corporation’s financial condition. The current global macroeconomic environment may affect the Corporation’s ability to access the capital markets may be severely restricted at a time when the Corporation wishes or needs to access such markets, which could have a materially adverse impact on the Corporation’s flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions or carry on operations.

The current financial environment may impact the Corporation’s business and financial condition that cannot predict.

The continued instability in the global financial system and related limitation on availability of credit may continue to have an impact on the Corporation’s business and financial condition, and the Corporation may continue to face challenges if conditions in the financial markets do not improve. The Corporation’s ability to access the capital markets has been restricted as a result of the economic downturn and related financial market conditions and may be restricted in the future when the Corporation would like, or need, to raise capital. The difficult financial environment may also limit the number of prospects for potential joint venture, asset monetization or other capital raising transactions that the Corporation may pursue in the future or reduce the values the Corporation is able to realize in those transactions, making these transactions uneconomic or difficult to consummate.

The market price for the Common Shares is particularly volatile given the Corporation’s status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in the market price for the Common Shares.

The market price for the Common Shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and the Corporation expect that its share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer. Such volatility is attributable to a number of factors. First, the Common Shares, at times, are thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of Common Shares by shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those Common Shares in either direction. The price for the Common Shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of Common Shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Second, the Corporation are a speculative or “risky” investment due to the Corporation’s limited operating history, lack of profits to date and uncertainty of future market acceptance for the Corporation’s potential products. As a consequence, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond the Corporation’s control and may decrease the market price of the Common Shares, regardless of the Corporation’s performance. The Corporation cannot make any predictions as to what the prevailing market price for the Common Shares will be at any time or as to what effect that the sale of Common Shares or the availability of Common Shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

Securities of small-cap and mid-cap companies have experienced substantial volatility in the recent past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. The price of the Common Shares is also likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in graphite prices and demand, the U.S. dollar, the Malagasy ariary, the Canadian dollar, and the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its financial statements. Other factors unrelated to the performance of the Corporation that may have an effect on the price of the Common Shares include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning the Corporation’s business may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow the Corporation’s securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Corporation’s securities may affect an investor’s ability to trade significant numbers of Common Shares; the size of the Corporation’s public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in its securities; and a substantial decline in the price of the Common Shares that persists for a significant period of time could cause its securities, if listed on an exchange, to be delisted from such exchange, further reducing market liquidity.

As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the Common Shares at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the long-term value of the Corporation. Class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. The Corporation may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and damages and divert management’s attention and resources.
