Cautionary Note to Investors Concerning Forward-looking Statements
 
This discussion includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements.” All statements in this disclosure, other than statements of historical facts, that address permitting, exploration drilling activities and events or developments that the Company expects are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Assumptions used by the Company to develop forward-looking statements include the following: the Company’s projects will obtain all required environmental and other permits and all land use and other licenses, and no geological or technical problems will occur. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices, exploration and exploitation successes, continuity of mineralization, potential environmental issues and liabilities associated with exploration, development and mining activities, uncertainties related to the ability to obtain necessary permits, licenses and title and delays due to third party opposition or litigation, exploration and development of properties located within First Nations treaty and asserted territories may affect or be perceived to affect treaty and asserted aboriginal rights and title, which may cause permitting delays or opposition by First Nation communities, changes in laws and government policies regarding mining and natural resource exploration and exploitation, continued ability of the Company to raise necessary capital, and general economic, market or business conditions. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company reviews its forward-looking statements on an on-going basis and updates this information when circumstances require it.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2020
 
  
1.2.1                       
Agreements
 
In January 2016, the Company reached agreement with Hunter Dickinson Services Inc. (“HDSI”) to settle debt owing for services by HDSI. HDSI agreed to forgive debt in the net amount owing at that time of $3,086,089, if Quartz Mountain makes a cash payment of $180,207 and issues 600,000 shares to HDSI. The TSX Venture Exchange approved the transaction with HDSI.
 
As of January 31, 2019, the cash payment and share issuance have been completed, resulting in a gain of $2,779,882 on settlement of the debt.
 
1.2.2                       
Properties
 
Angel's Camp Property
 
The Company retains a 1% net smelter return royalty payable to the Company on any production from the Angel's Camp property located in Lake County, Oregon. Alamos Gold Inc. holds the Angel’s Camp property.

On December 30, 2019, the Company announced that it has arranged a private placement of 4,545,455 units at a price of $0.11 per unit with insiders of the Company for proceeds of approximately $500,000. Each Unit consists of one common share and one warrant that allows the holder to purchase one flow-through common share at a price of $0.15 for a period five years. Completion of the financing is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. Completion of the financing is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The private placement will result in Robert Dickinson holding a control position of approximately 43% (60%, if warrants exercised) of the Company.

1.6            
Liquidity
 
Historically, the Company's primary source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash through private placements to sophisticated investors and institutions. The Company is assessing mineral properties with a goal to acquire and explore mineral property interests. The Company's continuing operations entirely depends upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete any exploration and development of its projects, the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves at its projects, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary permits to explore or mine, the future profitable production of any mine and the proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests.
 
At January 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $717 and a working capital deficit of $195,672.
 
There can be no certainty that the Company's existing cash balances or the proceeds from any issuance of its common shares in the future will provide sufficient funds for the Company's cash requirements. The Company may pursue other financing options or rely on joint venture partners to supply funds required. Additional debt or equity financing will be required to fund exploration or development programs. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to obtain additional financial resources or that it will be able to achieve positive cash flows.
 
Financial market conditions for junior exploration companies have resulted in very depressed equity prices. A further and continued deterioration in market conditions will increase the cost of obtaining capital and significantly limit the availability of funds to the Company in the future. Accordingly, management is actively monitoring the effects of the current economic and financing conditions on the Company’s business and reviewing discretionary spending, capital projects and operating expenditures, and implementing cash and cash management strategies.
 
The Company does not have any material capital lease obligations, purchase obligations or any other long‐term obligations.

Hunter Dickinson Inc.
 
Hunter Dickinson Inc. (“HDI”) and its wholly‐owned subsidiary Hunter Dickinson Services Inc. (“HDSI”) are private companies established by a group of mining professionals. HDSI provides services under contracts for a number of mineral exploration and development companies, and also to companies that are outside of the mining and mineral development space. The Company acquires services from a number of related and arms‐length contractors, and it is at the Company’s discretion that HDSI provides certain contract services.
 
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Chairman, Chief Financial Officer, and Corporate Secretary are employees of HDSI and work for the Company under an employee secondment arrangement between the Company and HDSI.
 
Pursuant to an agreement dated July 2, 2010, HDSI provides certain cost effective technical, geological, corporate communications, regulatory compliance, and administrative and management services to the Company, on a non‐exclusive basis as needed and as requested by the Company. As a result of this relationship, the Company has ready access to a range of diverse and specialized expertise on a regular basis, without having to engage or hire full‐time employees or experts.
 
The Company is not obligated to acquire any minimum amount of services from HDSI. The monetary amount of the services received from HDSI in a given period of time is a function of annually set and agreed charge‐out rates for and the time spent by each HDSI employee engaged by the Company.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting Procedures
 
The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
There has been no change in the design of the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2020.

1.15.4                       
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company has disclosure controls and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that any information required to be disclosed by the Company under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods; and required information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, so that decisions can be made about the timely disclosure of that information.
 
1.15.5                       
Limitations of Controls and Procedures
 
The Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of controls.  The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
