Description of Business

Pampa is a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, and trades on the CSE; the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and on the OTCQX®. The Company has a vision to create value for shareholders and all other stakeholders by making a major copper or gold discovery along the prime mineral belts of Chile.

As of June 30, 2023, Pampa owned 100% of a highly prospective portfolio of seven (7) projects for copper and gold totalling more than 47,000-hectares, all located along proven mineral belts in northern Chile, one of the world's top mining jurisdictions. The Company has actively progressed exploration for porphyry copper style deposits at five of its projects including initial drill tests at three projects, with one other

project subject to third party expenditures under an Option and Joint Venture Agreement. As of the date of this MD&A, Pampa has completed a maiden drill test of its Buenavista (previously Block 4) project.

In addition to exploring its wholly owned portfolio of projects, Pampa will consider business development opportunities which management believes enhance the Company's ability to participate in an economic mineral discovery and capable of improving shareholder returns.

Overall Performance to June 30, 2023, and Summary of News Releases for the Reporting Period

The Company has no revenues, so its ability to ensure continuing operations is dependent on it discovering economically recoverable reserves within its portfolio of properties in northern Chile, and its ability to obtain necessary financing to continue and complete exploration activities to that end, as well as its ability to pursue business development opportunities that support its prime objective of discovery.

As at June 30, 2023, the Company had a net working capital of $101,489 (December 31, 2022 - $287,043). The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $215,300 (December 31, 2022 - $404,633). Working capital and cash decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result significant exploration expenditures undertaken on the Company's mineral properties of $1,975,931, funded by two private placement financings in March 2023 that raised $2,430,180 net of cash share issuance costs.

The Company may be required to raise additional capital to meet its ongoing operating and exploration expenses on its current projects for the twelve-month period subsequent to June 30, 2023. Management may increase or decrease budgeted expenditures depending on exploration results and ongoing volatility in the business environment. See "Liquidity and Financial Position" below.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company announced the following material technical, corporate, and commercial developments:

  • Pampa advised on January 3, 2023, that the exploration partnership agreement between Pampa and VerAI Discoveries Inc detailed in the February 1, 2022 news release, had been discontinued in order to allow the Company to focus on the drill testing of its priority Block 4 (now Buenavista) target.
  • The Company announced on January 19, 2023, the launch of a non-brokered private placement offering of up to 20,000,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $3,000,000.
