1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

Quaterra Resources Inc. (“Quaterra” or the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on May 11, 1993. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) and traded at OTCQX Markets. The principal address of the Company is Suite 1100 – 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3T5.

The Company is a copper exploration company working on mineral properties it has acquired by way of option agreements and claim staking in the United States. Currently the Company is focusing its effort on the Bear Property located in the Yerington District of Lynn County, Nevada, United States.

The Company defers all acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs related to the properties on which it is conducting exploration. The underlying value and the recoverability of the amounts recorded as mineral properties is entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves and the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary funding to complete the exploration activities of its mineral properties, or upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on a profitable basis. The carrying value of the Company’s mineral properties does not reflect current or future values.

On January 15, 2016, the Company sold its 100% owned subsidiary, Minera Agua Tierra S.A. de C.V. to a private Mexican entity for gross proceeds of $500,000. $342,661 was received in January 2016 after withholding tax and finder’s fees.

The Company believes that based on its current working capital and committed funding from Freeport-McMoRan Nevada LLC (“Freeport Nevada”) it could sustain its operations and maintain its minimum obligations, including general corporation activities for the next 12 months.

2. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

4. Mineral Properties

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, amended on May 8, 2015, Freeport Nevada has the right to earn an initial interest of 55% in SPS by funding a total of $40.75 million over three stages in four years (“Option Period”) starting June 2014.

The funds received by SPS during the Option Period were used for Yerington Assets land, water and mineral rights maintainance, compliance with environmental law, exploration drilling program at the Bear Deposit and general administration expenditures.

Currently the Company is in the 2^nd Stage of the Option Agreement. By June 13, 2016, Freeport Nevada will decide if a further 24 months extension (“Stage 3”) of the Option Agreement will be made or not. If Freeport Nevada terminates the Option Agreement during the Option Period, the Yerington Assets will be retrurned to the Company in which Freeport would have not earned any interest.

6.	Convertible Notes
	On July 2, 2014, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 500 units for gross proceeds of $500,000. Each unit was priced at $1,000 and comprised of one non-transferable convertible redeemable promissory note (“Note”) and 11,442 non-transferable warrants. Each warrant entitles the holders to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of CAD$0.16 per share until January 2, 2017 (extended), subject to acceleration provision.
	The Note bear a simple interest rate of 10% per annum. Interest may be paid in cash or shares at the option of the Company, subject to any required exchange approvals in the case of share payments.
	The Notes provide the following terms as to conversion or redemption:

(i)	The outstanding principal amount of each Note may be converted by the Note holder into common shares of the Company at the rate of CAD$0.10 per share at any time until maturity.
(ii)	The Notes automatically convert into common shares at CAD$0.10 per share in the event the closing price of the shares is CAD$0.12 or higher for 10 consecutive trading days.
(iii)	The Company may, prior to conversion, redeem the principal amount of the notes outstanding by paying to the holders the principal amount of the Notes together with interest in cash at the rate of 15% per annum calculated to the date of such redemption.

7.	Derivative Liability
	Share purchase warrants issued with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency are considered derivative instruments. As such they are classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value and are re-measured each reporting period with all changes recorded as a component of net loss.
	In connection with the non-brokered private placement closed on July 2, 2014 and an Asset Purchase Agreement with FMMP on October 3, 2014, the Company issued 5.721 million and 19 million share purchase warrants to the unit holders. As these warrants are either exercisable in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency, or the number of shares to be issued upon exercising are subject to foreign exchange fluctuation, they are classified as derivative liabilities and carried at fair value. The warrants are therefore required to be revalued at FVTPL at each reporting date.
	The derivative liability component is revalued at each reporting date and was used the following assumptions for March 31, 2016: volatility of 141%, expected term of 3.5 year, discount rate of 0.54% and dividend yield of 0%.

The Company designates the fair value of financial instruments according to the following:

Level 1 -	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 -	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 -	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The Company has designated its cash and cash equivalent as held-for-trading; amounts due from exploration partner, other receivables and amount due from Freeport Nevada are classified as loans and receivables; reclamation bonds are classified as held-to-maturity; accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible notes and loan payable are classified as other financial liabilities; and derivative liability is classified as held-for-trading.

Fair value

The recorded amount for cash, amounts due from exploration partners, amounts due from and to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of reclamation bonds approximate their fair values, as these balances are redeemable on demand.

The derivative liability is measured at fair value and categorized in Level 3 at $670,911 (December 31, 2015 - $1,391,956). The fair value of the derivative liability is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model inputs disclosed in Note 7, as determined at the reporting date.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Canada and the United States and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange currency risk arising from transactions denominated in CAD. Since the majority of the cash flows are denominated in US dollars, the exchange rate between the CAD and USD would not have material effect on the Company’s operations.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to the interest rate risk through the interest earned on cash balances and short-term investments. The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an investment policy that focuses primarily on the preservation of capital and liquidity. However, management does not believe this exposure is significant.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash, which is held in large Canadian financial institutions and receivables. The Company’s credit risk associated with amounts due from exploration partners is minimized as a result of a strong and continuing working relationship with the partners. The Company believes this credit risk is insignificant.

(Unaudited - in U.S. Dollars; tabular amounts in thousands except for shares)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows and through the management of its capital structure.

13.	Commitments and Contingencies
	a)	The Company has a five-year service agreement with Manex until August 31, 2017, at a monthly rate of CAD$8,000. The Company may terminate the service agreement by paying Manex the lesser of CAD$96,000 or a total fee owing for the remainder of the service agreement.
	b)	To acquire certain mineral property interests in Nevada, the Company must make optional acquisition expenditures in order to satisfy the terms of existing option agreements, failing which the rights to such mineral properties will revert back to the property vendors.

Technical Information

The technical information contained in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Thomas Patton Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and a non-independent “qualified person” as defined in NI 43-101.

Summary for the three months ended March 31, 2016

In August 2015, the Company’s subsidiary Singatse Peak Services LLC (“SPS”) commenced a five- to seven-hole exploration drilling program at the Bear deposit – a large porphyry copper system – located on the Company’s 51-square-mile property in the historic Yerington Copper District of Nevada. The program is being funded by Freeport-McMoRan Nevada LLC (“Freeport Nevada”) in terms of Stage 2 of an option agreement whereby Freeport Nevada can acquire an initial 55% interest in SPS by spending $40.75 million in three stages over a four-year period starting in June 2014.

From June 2015 to the end of March 31, 2016, Freeport Nevada provided $6.6 million in funds to SPS with SPS receiving $2.025 million during the first quarter of 2016. Funds have been used to fund the current exploration drilling program at the Bear Deposit, as well as land, water and minerals rights maintenance, compliance with environmental law and general administrative expenditures.

On February 8, 2016, Quaterra and SPS announced results from Hole B-050, the third core hole of the drill program to explore and further define the Bear deposit. Hole B-050, drilled vertically to a depth of 3,838 feet, intercepted 521.9 feet (159.1 meters) of 0.36% copper beginning at a depth of 2,429.2 feet. Included within this interval is 279.3 feet (85.1 meters) of 0.44% copper starting at 2,491.4 feet. A 6.1 -foot (1.9 meter) interval of massive pyrite-magnetite-chalcopyrite skarn starting at 2,330.5 feet averages 1.91% copper, 0.22 ppm gold and 5.7 ppm silver. Hole B-050 extends the Bear mineralized system an additional 650 feet north of the nearest historic drill hole. The hole was collared 1,050 feet north-northeast of Hole B-048. Drill intercepts are based on actual core lengths and may not reflect the true width of mineralization. The results of the two previous holes, B-048 and B-049, were announced on November 17 and December 23, 2015 respectively.

On December 29, 2014, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell its 50% interest in the Nieves property in Mexico to its joint venture partner Blackberry Ventures 1, LLC (“Blackberry”) for $4.0 million. In February 2016, the Company agreed to reduce the total payment from $4.0 million to $3.5 million, subject to certain conditions, and extended the final payment of $1.0 million to June 1, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, Blackberry had paid $2.5 million, and owned 75% of the property with the Company owning 25%.

In January and April 2016, the Company received payments each of $500,000 from Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties LLC (“FMMP”) in terms of a 2014 agreement whereby FMMP acquired the remaining interests in three of the Company’s non-core copper and molybdenum properties for $5 million. In terms of the agreement $1.0 million was paid on Closing and the balance was payable in tranches of $500,000 every quarter for eight consecutive quarters commencing January 1, 2015. As of May 12, a total of $4.0 million has been received from FMMP, with $1.0 million still owing.

On April 6, 2016, Quaterra and SPS announced results from Hole B-051, the fourth core hole in the drill program at the Bear deposit. Hole B-051, drilled vertically to a depth of 3,878 feet, intercepted 1,483.3 feet (452.1 meters) of 0.26% copper beginning at a depth of 2,191.2 feet. Included within this interval is 1,213.8 feet (370.0 meters) of 0.30% copper starting at 2,191.2 feet. Several narrower intervals contain >0.40% copper with anomalous gold and molybdenum. Hole B-051 is a significant step-out from the nearest hole, B-049, approximately 1,150 feet to the west. Historic Hole B-22 is about 1,300 feet to the southwest. The thickness of the mineralized intercept in B-051 is larger than those in the three previous holes of the current drilling program. Bornite also is more common, occurring with chalcopyrite and molybdenite in quartz-sulfide veins, veinlet swarms and stockworks. The quartz-sulfide veins appear to correlate with higher gold and molybdenum values found in B-051 compared to the three previous drill holes. The interval 3,253 to 3278 feet averaged 0.43% copper, 182 ppm molybdenum and 0.12 ppm gold over 25 feet; the interval 2,218 to 2,241.9 feet averaged 445 ppm molybdenum over 23.9 feet.

Interim MD&A – Quarterly Highlights

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

Drilling on the final holes of the current program, B-052 and GH-001, has been completed. Assay results for both will be released as soon as they are available.

During the first quarter, Quaterra also completed an induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey at the Bear. This follows a magneto telluric (MT) geophysical survey over the Bear target area the previous year, consisting of 108 stations at 250 meter spacing. The MT and IP survey data may assist in the detection of major fault structures, intrusive rock types and alteration patterns, all of which may be used to gain a better understanding of the Bear deposit, and to assist in drill site selection.

On April 15, 2016, Quaterra announced that Gerald Prosalendis had been named President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. To accommodate this appointment, Thomas Patton resigned as President while retaining the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Review of Operations and Financial Results

For Q1 2016, the Company had an income of $0.70 million compare to a net loss of $0.52 million in Q1 2015. Both quarters are significantly affected by the non-cash fair value calculations on derivative liability.

Excluding non-cash items, general administrative expenses decreased by $27,000 mainly due to the reduction in personnel costs which were partially offset by higher administrative support to the drilling program for Bear Deposit and reinstated directors’ fees in Q3 2015.

As part of the continued effort to focus on its copper assets in Nevada, the Company disposed of its Mexican subsidiary for gross proceeds of $500,000 in January 2016. The Company is no longer operating in Mexico.

The Company also received a $25,000 fee from Blackberry to extend its final payment of $1 million to June 1, 2016, under the Nieves sale agreement entered on December 29, 2014.

Quarterly Information Trends

The Company’s results have been largely driven by the level of its property holding costs, exploration activities and recoveries from partners. The Company has had no revenue from mining operations since its inception. Major variations in costs are summarized below:

•	Significant increases and decreases quarter to quarter in the Company’s stock price can have a significant impact on the value of the derivative liabilities issued by the Company in conjunction with debt and equity instruments.
•	The gain or loss on disposal of mineral properties is dependent on the negotiated sales proceeds and can vary significantly from property to property.
•	Foreign exchange gains and losses arise because the Company conducts certain of its activities and holds financial assets in U.S. Dollars, Canadian dollars and Mexican Pesos, and reports its financial results in U.S. Dollars.
	General exploration expenditures can vary widely from quarter to quarter depending on the stages and priorities of the exploration program and the availability of funds.
•	Share-based payments can vary widely from quarter to quarter based on the timing, amount and tenure of stock option awards.
•	Interest earned and financing costs vary based on the timing, type and amount of debt and equity placements and resultant fluctuations in cash.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, Quaterra has been dependent on equity, joint venture partners’ contribution and proceeds from disposal of certain mineral properties for funding. As of May 12, 2016, cash on hand is $5.0 million and working capital is $4.5 million.

During Q1 2016, the Company incurred $1.90 million expenditures in mineral properties, received a total of $2.525 million and expects to receive $3.05 million in 2016 under the Option Agreement with Freeport Nevada, none-core asset sale agreement with FMMP and Nieves sale agreement with Blackberry entered into in 2014.

The funds received under the Option Agreement have been primarily used in the Bear Deposit drilling program, Yerington Assets mineral rights acquisitions and claim maintenance, and general administrative support.

Funds received from assets sales have been used in working capital for corporate activities and expenses.

With the cash on hand, the anticipated funding commitment from Freeport Nevada and the proceeds from the sale of non-core assets, the Company believes it has sufficient cash to maintain its operations in the next 12 months.

The Company has a $500,000 convertible note due on January 2, 2017. The outstanding principal may be converted by the note holder at rate of CAD$0.10 per share at any time until maturity. The Company borrowed $500,000 from Freeport Nevada bearing an interest rate of 5%. In the event Freeport Nevada terminates the Option Agreement, the $500,000 along with interest is due 180 days after such a termination notice from Freeport Nevada.

Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities were incurred at market rates with arm’s length third party suppliers, primarily for goods and services related to the Company’s exploration of its Yerington Assets, and also for professional fees and other overhead expenses incurred in the normal course of operations. The Company is not aware of any contingencies as at March 31, 2016.

Changes in Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

The significant accounting policies applied in preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Note 2 of the Company’s 2015 audited consolidated financial statements. Adoptions of new standards and amendments to existing standards have had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or financial performance.

Critical accounting estimates remain the same as disclosed in the 2015 audited annual consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments

The Company has designated its cash, amounts due from exploration partners, marketable securities, reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable and derivative liabilities as financial instruments.

Derivative liability is measured at fair value and categorized in Level 3. The fair value of the derivative liability is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as determined at the reporting date. The recorded amount for cash, amounts due from exploration partners, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of the reclamation bonds approximate their fair values, as these balances are redeemable on demand.

Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from financial instruments.
