SUTCLIFFE RESOURCES LTD.
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the quarter ended September 30, 2006
Form 51-102F1 as at November 27, 2006

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company is in the business of acquiring and developing mineral exploration projects. The Company has interests in the Harrison Lake nickel-copper and precious metal project in southwestern British Columbia and in the Beale Lake gold property located in northern British Columbia. The Company has also recently formalized its agreement with Chukot Gold Ltd (Chukot)., a Russian corporation which has acquired mineral properties in the Chukotka Autonomous Region of Russia.

OPERATIONS AND EXPENDITURES

The Harrison Lake Project is a belt of ultramafic and metavolcanics and metasediments which extend from the site of the former B.C. Nickel Mine, 7 kilometres north of Hope, B.C., over 60 kilometres along the east side of Harrison Lake. The Company had previously identified 15 high priority sulphide related Airborne ElectroMagnetic (AEM) targets and combined with the data from detailed ground geophysical surveying had selected drill hole locations. Drilling will commence once the Company finalizes its joint venture arrangement and weather conditions are favourable.

The Beale Lake Project, 75 kilometers northeast of Dease Lake, B.C., is a sheeted stockwork quartz-sulphide-scheelite vein and siliceous replacement mineralization system that has characteristics of both the Alaska Fort Knox and Pogo intrusion related gold deposits. An Induced Polarization (IP) survey was designed to follow up on high grade gold showings and used to select drill targets. The Company carried out a preliminary drill program and has completed a number of diamond drill holes todate.

The Company has ratified an agreement with Chukot in which two gold exploration licenses that were awarded to Chukot in an auction held August 17, 2006, will be acquired by the Company. The Tumannoye license covers an area of 19 square kilometers located in the northern part of the Chukotski peninsula and is serviced by road to the seaport of Egvekinot. The Elvenei license covers an area of 12 square kilometers located in central Chukotka and is 540 kilometers from Russia’s largest Arctic seaport, Pevek. Both of these licenses were acquired by the Company through its agreement with Chukot with a successful total bid of $2,485,636. The Company will be undertaking an extensive exploration program of trenching and drilling on both of these properties in the coming months.

The administrative expenditures made during the third quarter were indicative of the Company’s corporate activities due to the private placement financings and the focus on the exploration properties in Russia. Almost all categories are comparable to the same fiscal period in 2005 with the exception of increases in travel, property investigation and office costs associated with these developments.
