Description of Business

Prophecy is a company amalgamated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s Common shares (the “Shares”) are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “PCY”, the OTCQX® Best Market under the symbol “PRPCF” and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “1P2N”.

We are an exploration stage company focusing on mining and energy projects in the United States, Canada, Bolivia and Mongolia. We have a 100% interest in two vanadium projects in North America including the Gibellini vanadium project which is comprised of the Gibellini and Louie Hill vanadium deposits and associated claims located in the State of Nevada, USA (the “Gibellini Project”) and the Titan vanadium-titanium-iron project comprised of the Titan vanadium-titanium-iron deposit and related claims located in the Province of Ontario, Canada. We also own a 100% interest in the Pulacayo project, a silver-lead-zinc property located in Bolivia. We also own a 100% interest in three coal properties in Mongolia: the Ulaan Ovoo property, the Khavtgai Uul property and the Chandgana Tal property, in addition to the land use right and construction license for the Chandgana power plant project. We do not currently consider our properties in Canada, Bolivia or Mongolia to be material properties.

Our principal business is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral and energy projects. Our business strategy focus is to make our Gibellini Project the first operating primary vanadium mine in North America, offering the best quality vanadium pentoxide product that exceeds customer requirements in a variety of high-tech applications such as batteries and aerospace. We are also considering development of our Titan Project and the acquisition of other vanadium resources to augment Gibellini and position us as a major producer of vanadium.

PROPERTY SUMMARY

Gibellini Project, Nevada, USA

The Company’s principal asset is its interest in the Gibellini Project. Prophecy holds a 100% interest in the properties by way of a lease agreement and staked claims. Claims are in the name of Prophecy’s indirect, wholly-owned Nevada subsidiaries, VC Exploration (US), Inc. (“VC Exploration”) and Vanadium Gibellini Company, LLC (“Vanadium Gibellini”).

The Gibellini Project consists of a total of 354 unpatented lode mining claims that include: the Gibellini group of 40 claims, the VC Exploration group of 105 claims, and the Prophecy group of 209 claims. The Gibellini group of claims is referred to by the Company as a “project”. All the claims are located in Eureka County, Nevada, approximately 25 miles south of the town of Eureka and are easily accessed from US Highway 50 to a paved road that becomes a graded, gravel road.

The Gibellini Project is situated on the east flank of the Fish Creek Range in the Fish Creek Mining District, about 25 miles south of Eureka, Nevada and is accessed by dirt road extending westward from State Route 379. The Gibellini group of claims was acquired on June 22, 2017, through lease from the claimant and current holder of the Gibellini mineral claims (the “Gibellini Lessor”) and includes an area of approximately 771 acres. Under the Gibellini mineral lease agreement dated June 22, 2017 (the “Gibellini MLA”), Prophecy leased the Gibellini group of claims which originally constituted the Gibellini Project by among other things, agreeing to pay to the Gibellini Lessor, annual advance royalty payments which will be tied, based on an agreed formula (not to exceed USD$120,000 per year), to the average vanadium pentoxide price of the prior year. Upon commencement of production, Prophecy will maintain its acquisition through lease of the Gibellini group of claims by paying to the Gibellini Lessor, a 2.5% NSR until a total of USD$3 million is paid. Thereafter, the NSR will be reduced to 2% over the remaining life of the mine (and referred to thereafter, as “Production Royalty Payments”). All advance royalty payments made, will be deducted as credits against future Production Royalty Payments.The lease is for a term of 10 years, which can be extended for an additional 10 years at Prophecy’s option. On April 19, 2018, the Gibellini MLA was amended to grant Prophecy the option, at any time during the term of the agreement, to require the Gibellini Lessor to transfer their title over all of the leased mining claims (excluding four claims which will be retained by the Gibellini Lessor and which contain minimal resource) to Prophecy in exchange for USD1,000,000, to be paid as an advance royalty payment. On July 10, 2017, the Company acquired (through lease) from the holders (the “Former Louie Hill Lessors”) 10 unpatented lode claims totaling approximately 207 gross acres that comprised the Louie Hill group of claims located approximately 500 metres south of the Gibellini group of claims. These claims were subsequently abandoned by the Former Louie Hill Lessors, and on March 11 and 12, 2018, the Company staked the area within and under 17 new claims totaling approximately 340 gross acres which now collectively comprise the expanded Louie Hill group of claims.
On October 22, 2018, the Company entered into a royalty agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) with the Former Louie Hill Lessors to replace on substantially similar terms, the former Louie Hill Mineral Lease Agreement dated July 10, 2017, wherein Prophecy will pay an advance royalty and a net smelter royalty on vanadium pentoxide produced from the area of the 10 unpatented lode claims originally acquired through lease from the Former Louie Hill Lessors that is now contained within 17 lode claims since staked by the Company’s subsidiaries. The annual advance royalty payments will be tied, based on an agreed formula (the total amount not to exceed USD$28,000 per year), to the average vanadium pentoxide price for the prior year.

Upon commencement of production, Prophecy will pay to the Former Louie Hill Lessors, a 2.5% NSR of which, 1.5% of the NSR may be purchased at any time by Prophecy for USD$1 million, leaving the total NSR to be reduced to 1% over the remaining life of the mine (and referred to thereafter, as “Production Royalty Payments”). All advance royalty payments made, will be deducted as credits against future Production Royalty Payments. The Royalty Agreement shall be for an indefinite period and shall be valid and in full force and effect for as long as the Company, its subsidiaries, or any of their permitted successors or assigns holds a valid and enforceable mining concession over the area.

On December 5, 2017, the Company announced that it had significantly expanded the land position at the Gibellini Project, by staking a total of 198 new claims immediately adjacent to the Gibellini Project covering 4091 acres that are sufficient to enable future vanadium mining, processing and extraction.

On February 15, 2018, the Company indirectly acquired an additional 105 unpatented lode mining claims located adjacent to its existing Gibellini Project in Nevada, USA through the indirect acquisition of VC Exploration (US) Inc, by paying a total of $335,661 in cash and issuing the equivalent of 500,000 Share purchase warrants to arm’s-length, private parties.

The Gibellini Project is situated entirely on public lands that are administered by the BLM. No easements or rights of way are required for access over public lands. Rights-of-way would need to be acquired for future infrastructure requirements, such as pipelines and powerlines.

On November 20, 2017, the Company received an independent technical report titled “Gibellini Vanadium Project Nevada, USA NI 43-101 Technical Report” with an effective date of November 10, 2017 (the ”Gibellini Report”) prepared by Wood The Gibellini Report was filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities on SEDAR (available at www.sedar.com).

On June 25, 2018, Prophecy released the “Gibellini Vanadium Project, Eureka County, Nevada, NI 43-101 Technical Report on Preliminary Economic Assessment” (the “PEA”), with an effective date of May 29, 2018 and signed June 25, 2018 authored by Independent Qualified Persons Kirk Hanson, P.E.; Edward J.C. Orbock III, RM SME; Edwin Peralta, P.E.; and Dr. Lynton Gormely, P. Eng. of Wood and is in accordance with NI 43-101. The Gibellini PEA was filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities on SEDAR (available at www.sedar.com).

Gibellini Deposit

On May 29, 2018, the Company received an independent technical report providing an updated the resource on the Gibellini project. The report is titled “Gibellini Vanadium Project Eureka County, Nevada, NI 43-101 Technical Report on Preliminary Economic Assessment” prepared by Mr. Kirk Hanson, P.E., Technical Director, Open Pit Mining; Mr. Edward J.C. Orbock III, RM SME, Principal Geologist and US Manager of Consulting; Mr. Edwin Peralta, P.E., Senior Mining Engineer; and Mr. Lynton Gormely, P.Eng., Consultant Metallurgist of Wood. The report has an effective date of May 29, 2018.

The PEA replaces the technical report entitled “Gibellini Vanadium Project, Nevada, USA, NI 43-101 Technical Report”, effective November 10, 2017 and filed November 20, 2017. The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA results will be realized. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The PEA disclosed an estimated 7.94 million tons at a weighted average grade of 0.314% vanadium pentoxide (“V2O5”) in the Measured category and 15.02 million tons at a weighted average grade of 0.271% V2O5 in the Indicated category leading to a total combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 22.95 million tons at a weighted average grade of 0.286% V2O5. Total contained metal content of the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources is 131.34 million pounds V2O5. The Inferred Mineral Resource estimate is 14.97 million tons at a weighted average grade of 0.175% V2O5. The total contained metal content of the Inferred Mineral Resource estimate is 52.30 million pounds V2O5. The table below contains a summary of the Gibellini deposit resource estimate:

Mineral Resources are reported within a conceptual pit shell that uses the following assumptions: Mineral Resource V2O5 price: $14.64/lb; mining cost: $2.21/ton mined; process cost: $13.62/ton; general and administrative (G&A) cost: $0.99/ton processed; metallurgical recovery assumptions of 60% for mineralized material; tonnage factors of 16.86 ft3/ton for mineralized material, royalty: 2.5% net smelter return (NSR); shipping and conversion costs: $0.37/lb. For the purposes of the resource estimate, an overall 40º slope angle assumption was used.

5. 

Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences between tons, grade and contained metal content. Tonnage and grade measurements are in US units. Grades are reported in percentages.

A total of 280 drill holes (about 51,265 ft) have been completed on the Gibellini Project since 1946, comprising 16 core holes (4,046 ft), 169 rotary drill holes (25,077 ft; note not all drill holes have footages recorded) and 95 reverse circulation holes (22,142 ft).

The vanadium-hosted argillite unit ranges from 175 to over 300 ft thick and overlies gray mudstone and black shales. The argillite has been oxidized to various hues of yellow and orange to a depth of 100 ft and is believed to have been part an overall homogenous black shale unit. Alteration (oxidation) of the rocks is classified as one of three oxide codes: oxidized, transitional, and reduced.

No significant work has been conducted on the Gibellini Project since 2011 with some minor prospecting completed in October of 2018. We have completed trenching or drilling activities since the Gibellini Project acquisition.

The power supply for the Gibellini Project site is assumed to be at 24.9 kV and supplied from a planned substation to be located near Fish Creek Ranch. This substation would tap and step-down the 69kV supply carried by the line to the nearby Pan Mine to 24.9kV and place it on a line to the Gibellini Project. Negotiations with the power utility, Mt. Wheeler Power will need to be undertaken to secure any future power supply contract and transmission line to the site.

On April 18, 2018, the Company announced that it signed an agreement with Monitor Ventures Inc. (“Monitor”) for the right to access and use information related to the Gibellini Project which was commissioned, compiled and held by Monitor. In consideration, Prophecy paid $7,000 in cash, issued to Monitor the equivalent of 500,000 warrants entitling Monitor to purchase one Share at an exercise price the equivalent of $0.30 for a period of three years, and will, upon approval of the EIS by BLM, pay Monitor, $50,000 in cash.

On May 9, 2018, the Company submitted its Management’s plan of operations (the “MPO”) to the BLM and the Reclamation Permit Application to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation (the “BMRR”).

The MPO was prepared by SRK Consulting (U.S.) Inc. with over 1,100 pages of detailed development plans for the open pit mining operations and processing facilities to extract and recover vanadium from the Gibellini Project with stated average mine production during the seven-year mine life of 15.7 million tons of ore material containing 120.5 million pounds of vanadium. The primary facilities include the: pit, waste rock disposal facility, mine office, auxiliary facilities such as water and power, crushing facilities and stockpile, heap leach pad, process facility, water ponds, borrow areas, and mine and access roads.

A map of the proposed facilities is available at www.prophecydev.com.

In addition, the MPO includes the following designs along with associated environmental baseline studies:

1.Quality Assurance Plan

2.Storm Water Management Plan

3.Adaptive Waste Rock Management Plan

4.Monitoring Plan

5.Noxious Weed Management Plan

6.Spill Contingency Plan

7.Feasibility Study Level Pit Slope Design

8.Heap Leach and Waste Rock Dump Facility Stability Report

9.Geochemical Characterization Report

10.Water Management Plan

11.Closure and Reclamation Plan

12.Transportation Plan

13.Standardized Reclamation Cost Estimate

8

The baseline studies supplementing the MPO were completed by the previous operator between 2010 and 2012, and included studies of biological resources, cultural resources, surface water resources, ground water resources, and waste rock geochemical characterization.

In August 2018, the Company engaged NewFields, an environmental, engineering, and construction management consulting firm to advance EIS preparation for the Gibellini Project.

NewFields completed the Gibellini heap leach pad and waste dump designs (over 40 pages) as part of an overall basic engineering design lead by Scotia International of Nevada, Inc. in 2014. NewFields’ familiarity with the project should help to expedite permitting efforts at Gibellini.

As a result of direction from Secretary of the Interior Order No. 3355 (Streamlining National Environmental Policy Reviews and Implementation of Executive Order 13807) Prophecy anticipates the Gibellini EIS will not be more than 150 pages (excluding appendices) and the BLM to complete the Gibellini final EIS within one year from the issuance of the Notice of Intent (“NOI”). Should that occur, it means that permitting for the Gibellini Project may potentially be concluded in 2020.

PEA

On May 29, 2018, the Company received results of a PEA for the Gibellini Project. The PEA reported an after tax cumulative cash flow of $601.5 million, an internal rate of return of 50.8%, a net present value of $338.3 million at a 7% discount rate and a 1.72 years payback on investment from start-up assuming an average vanadium pentoxide price of $12.73 per pound. As of May 29, 2018, the price of vanadium pentoxide is $14.20 per pound according to www.asianmetal.com. The PEA was prepared by Wood and is based on the NI 43-101 compliant resource calculations reported above.

The PEA is preliminary in nature, and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Sensitivity Analysis

The tables below show the sensitivity analysis to the vanadium pentoxide price, grade, and to the PEA capital cost and operating costs. This sensitivity analysis indicates strong project economics even in very challenging conditions, and that the project is well positioned to benefit from the current rising vanadium price environment. A 20% increase in the vanadium price relative to the base case translates to a USD$491.3 million after-tax NPV at a 7% discount rate.

Mining & Processing

Mining at the Gibellini and Louie Hill projects is planned to be a conventional open pit mine utilizing a truck and shovel fleet comprised of 100-ton trucks and front end loaders. Average mine production during the 13.5 year mine life is 3.4 million tons of leach material (3 million tons) and waste (0.4 million tonnes) per year at a strip ratio of 0.17. Mining is to be completed through contract, with Prophecy’s mining staff overseeing the contracted mining operation and performing the mine engineering and survey work.

The processing method envisioned for the Gibellini Project will be to feed leach material from the mine via loader to a hopper that feeds the crushing plant. The leach material will then be fed to the agglomerator where sulfuric acid, flocculent and water will be added to achieve adequate agglomeration. The agglomerated leach material will be transported to a stacker on the leach pad, which will stack the material to a height of 15 feet. Once the material is stacked, solution will be added to the leach heap at a rate of 0.0025 gallons per minute per square foot. The solution will be collected in a pond and this pregnant leach solution will be sent to the process building for metal recovery where it will go through solvent extraction and stripping processes to produce the vanadium pentoxide.

Vanadium Recoveries and Metallurgical Testing

Approximately 130.3 million pounds of V2O5 is expected to be produced from Gibellini and Louie Hill leaching operations at an average recovery of 62% (oxide: 60%, transition: 70% and reduced: 52%). The heap leaching is performed at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure without pre-roasting or other beneficiation process. The pregnant leach solution is continuously collected with leach material undergoing, on average, a 150-day heap-leaching cycle. Table 9 below summarizes the projected metallurgical recoveries used in the PEA for the three defined oxidation-type domains.

Mill Feed Material Type	Direct Leaching Recovery
Oxide	60%
Transition	70%
Reduced	52%

The direct heap leach vanadium recovery estimates used in the PEA were based on extensive metallurgical testing work performed by SGS Lakefield Research Laboratories, Dawson Minerals Laboratories, and McClelland Laboratories. Samples were selected from a range of depths within the deposit, representative of the various types and styles of mineralization. Samples were obtained to ensure that tests were performed on sufficient sample mass. The end results demonstrated low acid consumption (less than 100 lb acid consumption per ton leached) and high recovery through direct leaching. Notable test results included the following:

Acid Heap Leach Testing of a Gibellini Bulk Sample, McClelland Laboratories, September 4, 2013

A series of trenches were excavated and approximately 18 tons of material were sent to McClelland Laboratories for pilot testing. The material was air dried and stage crushed to 2” where a column sample was cut for 12” columns and then the leach material was crushed to – ½”. A head sample was taken and material for bench marking columns, and a bottle roll test was also taken. The results of the pilot plant testing are shown in Table 7:

Pilot Scale Solvent Extraction Testing on Vanadium Bearing Solutions from Two Gibellini Project Column Leach Tests, McClelland Laboratories, September 16, 2013

Solvent extraction (“SX”) processing was conducted to recover vanadium from sulfuric acid pregnant leach solution (“PLS”) generated during pilot column testing on bulk leach samples from the Gibellini project. Laboratory scale testing was conducted on select solutions generated during the pilot SX processing, to optimize the SX processing conditions. Additional laboratory scale testing was conducted on the loaded strip solution generated during the pilot SX testing, to evaluate methods for upgrading and purifying it to levels that may be required for sale of a final vanadium bearing product.

The final pregnant strip solution was 6.1% vanadium, 250 g/l sulfuric acid with approximately 2% Fe and Al. The solution was suitable for oxidation using sodium chlorate to convert the V+4 to V+5 which was then precipitated using ammonia to make ammonium metavanadate (“AMV”). To make a vanadium product for the steel industry, this AMV is calcined (ammonia driven off) and heated to above 700°C (the fusion temperature of V2O5). This fused V2O5 would then be cooled on a casting wheel, pulverized and packaged. Additionally, using ion exchange resins in conjunction with solvent extraction, strip solution was produced which met or exceeded specifications of electrolyte for vanadium flow batteries.

In August of 2018, Prophecy received metallurgical results from its technology partner, NWME from samples collected during a site visit in March of 2018. Tests were performed at it’s laboratory testing facilities located in Xi’an, China. NWME utilized a SX processing method to recover vanadium from sulfuric acid PLS generated by bottle roll and column test acid leaching on Gibellini samples. The solution was reduced and then precipitated using ammonia to make AMV. The AMV was calcined and heated then cooled and pulverized. A vanadium pentoxide with 98.56 % purity content was produced. The assay for this work is shown below:

Uranium content is less than 0.0001% which does not affect the marketability of the product.

The PLS was produced with very low deleterious elements which enabled using an efficient SX process. The PLS V2O5 concentration was 1.15 gram per liter and the Pregnant Strip Solution V2O5 concentration was 39.61 grams per liter.

Capital and Operating Costs

The projected capital costs for the Gibellini vanadium project over a 1 ½ year construction period and mine life average operating costs are summarized in Tables 9 and 10 below. The capital cost includes 25% contingency or USD23.4 million.

(All dollar values are expressed in US dollars unless otherwise noted)

The cash operating costs in the first half of the project covering years 1-7 is USD$3.59 per lb of V2O5 produced and for the years 8-14 is USD$7.12 per lb of V2O5 produced, resulting in the weighted average cash cost of USD$4.77 per lb of V2O5 produced. The cash operating cost is lower in the first half of the project due to processing higher grade material.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred total costs of $1,114,820 (same period 2018 - $287,958) for the Gibellini Project including for $779,770 (same period 2018 - $74,876) for geological and engineering services, and $335,050 (same period 2018 - $84,070) for personnel, legal, general and administrative expenses and $Nil (same period 2018 - $26,524) for fees and taxes.

Permitting

Further to our news release dated May 9, 2018, Prophecy submitted its MPO and associated baseline studies to the BLM. Prophecy is currently working with the BLM to update all previous, and add all necessary, baseline studies. Upon acceptance of the baseline studies, MPO, and environmental report by the BLM, Prophecy expects to trigger a NOI in 2019 by the BLM, to prepare an EIS for the Gibellini project.

In December 2017, vanadium was listed by the U.S. Geological Survey as one of 23 metals critical to the US economy despite there being no active primary vanadium mines in North America. As a result of direction from Secretary of the Interior Order No. 3355 (Streamlining National Environmental Policy Reviews and Implementation of Executive Order 13807), Prophecy anticipates the Gibellini EIS will not be more than 150 pages (excluding appendices) and the BLM to complete the Gibellini final EIS within one year from the issuance of the NOI. Should that occur, it means that permitting for the Gibellini project may potentially be concluded in 2020.

Engineering Procurement Construction Management:

On August 15, 2018, the Company issued a request for proposal (the “RFP”) for EPCM from qualified bidders. The Company selected, in December 2018, M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation (“M3”) of Tucson, Arizona to provide engineering, procurement, construction and management services (EPCM) for its Gibellini Vanadium Project in response to its Request for Proposal. M3 was selected for its specific experience in heap leach engineering, and construction expertise in arid environments such as Nevada and Arizona.

The EPCM consists of three phases:

●

Phase 1 includes updating and simplifying previous basic engineering designs from producing delicate vanadium battery electrolyte to producing standard vanadium pentoxide off take product. The other parts of the design such as mine design, waste dump design, road design, borrow pit design, buildings and infrastructure designs will not be substantially changed.

●

Phase 2 will be procurement of the required equipment and services, and developing the detailed engineering design required to build the project facilities.

●

Phase 3 will outline construction management services to build the facilities to accomplish the actual work.

15

The Company expects Phase 1 of the EPCM, updating basic engineering design, to be completed in2020; Phase 2, equipment procurement and detailed engineering design, to be completed in 2021; Phase 3, facilities construction, to start in 2021 and be completed in 2022 with the Gibellini Project wet commissioning expected to be in 2022.

To try to minimize technical and implementation risk, the Company is working closely with its chosen technology partner, NWME, to fine tune metallurgy, process design and engineering, and ensure maximum vanadium recovery and high-grade vanadium pentoxide commercial product on site. NWME owns and is currently operating the world’s largest black-shale vanadium mine in China with an environmentally friendly, hydrometallurgical leach processing technology without the need of a pre-roasting step. Refer to news release dated March 12, 2018 for more details.

NWME conducted a Gibellini site visit in March 2018 and analyzed Gibellini samples in its laboratories. The results of this work are discussed in the following section.

Test Results

Samples collected by NWME’s technical team during their visit to the Project’s site in February 2018 were analyzed at NWME’s facility in Xi’an, China. Approximately 250 kg of material was submitted for analysis. The results are described herein.

98.6% V2O5 Produced on the 1st Run with Simple Conventional Flowsheet

NWME used SX processing method to recover vanadium from sulfuric acid PLS generated by bottle roll and column test acid leaching on Gibellini samples. The solution was reduced and then precipitated using ammonia to make AMV. The AMV was calcined and heated then cooled and pulverized. A vanadium pentoxide with 98.56 % purity content was produced. The assay for this work is shown in Table 11 below:

Table 11: Gibellini Vanadium Pentoxide Assay

V2O %	SI %	Fe %	P %	S %	As %	Na2O %	K2O %	Al %	U %
98.56	0.0078	0.88	0.058	0.47	0.0026	0.43	0.052	0.22	0.0001

Uranium content is less than 0.0001% which does not affect the marketability of the product.

The PLS was produced with very low deleterious elements which enabled using an efficient SX process. The PLS V2O5 concentration was 1.15 gram per liter and the Pregnant Strip Solution V2O5 concentration was 39.61 grams per liter.

Overall Vanadium Recovery of Over 60% and Low Acid Consumption

PLS was produced from both bottle roll and column tests. Sulfuric acid was added to the feed material with the bottle rolling for 1 hour, then the open bottle was allowed to cure for 24 hours and water was added to the bottle to attain the desired density (40%). Initial samples were taken at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours and then once a day until the bottle roll was completed.

In column tests, sulfuric acid was added to the feed material and the material was allowed to cure for 24 hours before initiating the leaching. Leaching was conducted by applying 108 grams per liter acid solution over the material. PLS was collected every 24 hours and samples were taken for vanadium analysis. All the tests were performed at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. The results of the tests are given in Table 12:

16

Table 12

Test	Leach Time	Vanadium Recovery %	Sulfuric Acid Consumed kg/t
Column Test	21 days	70.74	100
Bottle Roll Test - investigate the effect of the curing method and increase of sulfuric acid addition on the vanadium recovery	50 hours	62.8	150
Bottle Roll Test - investigate addition of NWME prepared leaching agent on the vanadium recovery	144 hours	66.5	100
Bottle Roll Test - investigate the leaching of coarse feed (2mm) on the vanadium recovery	216 hours	63.7	100

The results of the bottle roll and column leach tests performed by NWME largely validate the results of previous tests performed by McClelland Laboratories on Gibellini bulk sample in 2013 (18 tons of material).

The NWME test samples were not agglomerated and were on short leach time of 21 days for column tests and 5 days for bottle roll tests. Prophecy studied both the NWME test and McClleland test in detail and believe the results were consistent, whereby 70% recovery can be achieved with longer leach cycle (over 100 days McClelland Laboratories vs 21 days NWME) and less acid consumption (50 kg of acid per tonne of material McClelland Laboratories vs 100 kg of acid per tonne of material NWME).

A summary of acid heap leach tests of a Gibellini bulk sample, completed at McClelland Laboratories, September 4, 2013 is tabulated in Table 13 below:

Representative Feed Grade with Benign Test Conditions that Can be Replicated in Commercial Setting

The leaching bottle roll and column tests were performed at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure based on Gibellini’s representative grade from grab sampling method across the width of the mineralization at various locations of the Project. These samples are characterized in Table 14:

Table 14

Total		177.5

For the purpose of metallurgical testing, the samples were mixed to produce a composite material with the average grade of 0.30% V2O5 which is representative of Gibellini resource grade. The composite material was ground to -75 lm feed. Prophecy believes the test conditions can easily be replicated in a commercial heap leach setting with low technical and implementation risk.

Unique Vanadium Mineralogy in Achieving Remarkable Recovery at Room Temperature and Atmospheric Pressure

NWME performed detailed mineralogical analysis which included microscope identification using a Carl Zeiss Axioskop, XRD analysis on Bruker D8-A25 XRD, multi-element analysis, electron probe X-ray microanalysis on JEOL JXA 8230, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis on Mineral Liberation Analizer 650 and V element phase analysis. This mineralogical analysis confirmed that the Gibellini resource has a high percentage of independent vanadium minerals (“IVM”) such as kazakhstanite, shubnelite, sherwoodite, bokite, which can be leached easily at room temperature and atmospheric pressure within a short time frame.

NWME noted the unique nature of the Gibellini samples with over 45% IVM versus numerous other typical black shale deposits which they have encountered containing less than 10% IVM.

All of the testwork carried out on the material from the Gibellini Project indicate that there is a two-stage leaching phenomenon in Gibellini ore - about 50% of the vanadium leaches in the first 96 hours (independent vanadium minerals), and the remaining leaching approximately 15 to 20% occurs over a longer time horizon.

Heap leaching is the lowest-cost recovery method compared to roasting, and pressured container VAC leaching, whereby capital costs can compound to multiple times greater for the same throughput. Gibellini’s high IVM content is a key competitive differentiator which places the deposit in the top tier of black shale deposits in terms of pre-production capital cost required based on NWME’s research. The mineralogical results of the Gibellini ore as characterized by NWME’s testwork is shown in Table 15:

Low Carbonate Content Results in Exceptional Low Acid Consumption

NWME detailed mineralogical analysis which included microscope identification using a Carl Zeiss Axioskop, XRD analysis on Bruker D8-A25 XRD, multi-element analysis, electron probe X-ray microanalysis on JEOL JXA 8230, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis on Mineral Liberation Analyzer 650 and V element phase analysis, confirmed the extremely low carbonaceous content of Gibellini’s oxide and transition samples. This explains the low acid consumption (less than 50 kg per tonne) compared to other average black shale deposits of 200 kg to 300 kg per tonne based on extensive NWME data compilation. Given acid cost accounts for approximately 50% of the Project’s operating expenses, Gibellini’s low carbon content is a key competitive differentiator which places it in the top tier of black shale deposits in terms of processing cost based on NWME’s findings.

The following table is a generalized comparison of Gibellini’s deposit to a composite of typical black shale vanadium deposits:

Table 16

	Gibellini Vanadium Deposit	Black Shale Series Vanadium Deposits
Host Rock	Silica State	Carbon Siliceous Rocks with Mudstone
The Mineral Composition	High Silica, Low Aluminium and Low Carbonaceous. SiO2-78.40%; Al2O3 - 4.13%; T(C) - 0.47%	High Silica, High Aluminum and High Carbonaceous. SiO2-62-93%; Al2O3 > 7%; T(C) > 10%

The next step for NWME will be to investigate the application of NWME’s proprietary technology to Gibellini mineral to produce a high purity vanadium pentoxide product with 99.5% V2O5 content. During the Prophecy’s team visit to NWME’s processing facilities in China in June 2018, NWME commented that its own black-shale vanadium mine produces exclusively 99.5% V2O5 which commands a 15 to 25% pricing premium (compared to benchmark 98% purity) to supply to the vanadium battery, chemical, and aerospace industries. Prophecy delivered the representative samples from the Project with a total weight of approximately 1 tonne to NWME in China and the test has begun. Prophecy expects to receive the results from the second phase of metallurgical testing by NWME in the second half of 2019.

On March 26, 2019, the Company announced vanadium assay results from its Fall 2018 exploration reconnaissance program on the Gibellini Project. The 155 assays are taken from three prospective exploration areas all within 5km to existing Gibellini vanadium NI43-101 compliant resource pit outline. Surface grab samples assay as high as 2% vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) and 75 samples (48% of total 155) have V2O5 grades greater than the Gibellini deposit’s cut-off grade of 0.101% V2O5 at $12.5/lb V2O5; V2O5 currently trades at approximately $16/lb.

The high vanadium assay results along the 5-kilometer northeast-southwest trend which line-up the Northeast Prospect, through Gibellini Hill, Louie Hill, Middle Earth Prospect, and Big Sky Prospect providing an indication of potential and possibly significant future expansion of vanadium mineralization along this corridor.

Detailed maps are available at www.prophecydev.com

Big Sky Prospect (300m by 50m)

The Big Sky prospect occurs 3.1 km southwest of the Gibellini Hill measured and indicated resource and 1.8 km southwest of Louie Hill inferred resource. A total of 62 samples were taken, of which 40% (n=25) returned assays greater than Gibellini cut-off grade. Sixteen (16) samples returned assays >0.200 V2O5. The distribution of samples occurs along a 300 meter exposure of the Woodruff Formation. Assays showing >0.200 V2O5 are shown in Table 17.

Water supply

On August 20, 2018, the Companysecured water supply for the Gibellini Project construction and operation. The Company signed a 10-year Agreement with the owner of a private ranch, located approximately 14.5 km from the Gibellini Project. The Agreement can be extended for any number of additional 7-year terms, not to exceed (with the primary term) a total of 99 years.

Per the terms of the Agreement, the lessor granted to Prophecy the rights to 805 acre-feet (approximately 262.4 million gallons) of water per year for the Gibellini Project, at a minimum flow rate of 500 gallons per minute (“gpm”) from its year-round springs surface water stream. The water flow rate was measured at the ranch springs in 1965, in 1981, from December 2011 to September 2013, and most recently, in 2017. The water flow rate ranges from 1,000 to 3,900 gpm with an average flow rate of 2,690 gpm, which exceeds the project’s maximum water operational requirement of 420 gpm based on the process engineering design prepared by Scotia International of Nevada, Inc. as a part of engineering, procurement, construction and management work done in 2014.

The Gibellini Project completed water-related baseline studies including the drilling of water-test wells, water source data collection, characterization, flow rate testing and modeling. Due to the fact that the Agreement provides a source of water from surface springs located on a private ranch and baseline studies related to it have been completed, Prophecy expects to significantly expedite the permitting process by eliminating the need to appropriate water rights from the Nevada Division of Water Resources (“DWR”).

Offtake and project financing

Prophecy has received unsolicited expressions of interest from various potential investment sources and is currently engaged in discussions with potential cornerstone investors, vanadium product off-takers and banks on potential equity, debt and prepaid off-take financing possibilities. We expect to report material progress in due course.

2019 Outlook

Prophecy intends to advance the Gibellini Project through the permitting process in cooperation with the BLM and to that end, Prophecy submitted its MPO and associated baseline studies to the BLM. Prophecy is currently working with the BLM to update all previous, and add all necessary, baseline studies. Upon acceptance of the baseline studies, MPO, and environmental report by the BLM, Prophecy expects to trigger a NOI in 2019 by the BLM, to prepare an EIS for the Gibellini project.

Prophecy continues with its EPCM work and expects Phase 1 of the EPCM, updating basic engineering design, to be completed by 2020; Phase 2, equipment procurement and detailed engineering design, to be completed in 2021; Phase 3, facilities construction, to start in 2021 and be completed in 2022 with the Gibellini Project wet commissioning expected to be in 2022.

The Company intends to spend the available funds as set forth above based on annual budgets approved by the Board of Directors consistent with established internal control guidelines, and programs recommended in the Gibellini PEA. However, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of the net proceeds may be necessary. The actual amount that the Company spends in connection with each of the intended uses of proceeds may vary significantly from the amounts specified above and will depend on a number of factors, including those referred to under “Risk Factors”.

DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS

The reader is encouraged to refer to Note 6 of the Company’s Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 for Prophecy’s IFRS accounting policies. For discussion on each project, the reader is encouraged to refer to the “Business Overview” section of this MD&A.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (Q1 2019 and Q1 2018)

Results of operations are summarized as follows:

Operating Expenses	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019	2018
Advertising and promotion	$134,048	$45,378
Consulting and management fees	58,552	68,278
General and administrative expenses	413,281	223,580
Professional fees	58,330	56,495
Share-based payments	51,085	134,928
Travel and accommodation	78,802	34,259
	$794,098	$562,918

The Company had an operating loss of $794,098 for Q1 2019, compared with an operating loss of $562,918 for Q1 2018.

The increase by $231,180 in operating expenses was a result of the overall increased activity levels of the Company. Of note are the following items:

●

advertising and promotion expenses increased by $88,670 due to increased activities to promote and market the Company in order to raise equity financing. The Company incurred higher marketing costs because the Company is working with the financial community to make its project known. Investor relations remains a priority due to the ongoing need to attract investment capital;

●

general and administrative fees consisting of general office expenses and administrative services related to maintaining the Company’s exchange listings and complying with securities regulations along with insurance, salaries and directors’ fees. General and administrative expenses increased by $189,701 in Q1 2019 compared to Q1 2018. The increase was mainly due to higher salary related expenses due to a hire of new President and CEO;

●

non-cash Share-based paymentsexpenses decreased by $83,843 due to a lesser number of outstanding stock options vesting during the Q1 2019 compared to the Q1 2018; and

●

travel and accommodation expenses increased by $44,543 due to increased property site visits and travel to promote the Company.

For Q1 2019, the Company’s “Other Items” amounted to a loss of $114,761 compared to a gain of $26,301 for Q1 2018. The increase by $88,460 was mainly due to mineral properties impairment charges.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital

The Company utilizes existing cash received from prior issuances of equity instruments to provide liquidity to the Company and finance exploration projects.

At March 31, 2019, the Company had cash flow of $3,652,189 representing a decrease of $1,651,908 from $5,304,097 held at December 31, 2018. The Company’s working capital at March 31, 2019 was $1.76 million compared to a working capital of $3.83 million at December 31, 2018. The Company’s working capital decreased by $2.07 million since the year ended December 31, 2018 resulting mainly from expenditures incurred related to increased exploration activities of the Company to develop the Gibellini Project. The Company’s cash flow highlights are presented in the table below.

The Company believes it has sufficient capital to meet its cash needs for the next 12 months, including the costs of compliance with continuing reporting requirements.  

Cash Flow Highlights

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019	2018
Cash Used in Operating Activities	$(923,503)	$(418,819)
Cash Used in Investing Activities	(719,476)	(939,067)
Cash Used in Financing Activities	(8,929)	-
Net Decrease in Cash	(1,651,908)	(1,357,886)
Cash - beginning of period	5,304,097	4,100,608
Cash - end of period	$3,652,189	$2,742,722

Operating activities: During Q1 2019,cash used in operating activities was $923,503 compared to $418,819 cash used during Q1 2018. The increased outflows in 2019 related to increased activities of the Company to develop the Gibellini Project. The year over year increase in cash used by operating activities is due to increased funds required for working capital changes.

Investing activities: During Q1 2019, the Company used $719,476 in investing activities (Q1 2018 - $939,067). During Q1 2019, the Company spent $719,476 on the Gibellini Project exploration activities. During Q1 2018, the Company spent $60,940 on purchasing marketable securities and 878,127 on mineral property acquisition and exploration activities.

Financing activities: During Q1 2019, the Company paid $8,929 for corporate office lease. As the Company adopted new accounting policy IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 and in accordance with IFRS 16, cash payments for the lease liability are presented as cash flow from financing activities (see Note 11). No cash was used in financing activities during the Q1 2018.

26

Capital Resources

As an exploration and development company, Prophecy has no regular cash in-flow from operations, and the level of operations is principally a function of availability of capital resources. The Company’s capital resources are largely determined by the strength of the junior resource markets and by the status of the Company’s projects in relation to these markets, and its ability to compete for investor support of its projects. See Section “Risk Factors” set out in the Company’s AR. To date, the principal sources of funding have been equity and debt financing. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, and there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining adequate financing and at favourable terms for these or other purposes including general working capital purposes.

For the foreseeable future, as existing properties are explored, evaluated and developed, the Company will continue to seek capital through the issuance of equity, strategic alliances or joint ventures, and debt, of which the Company currently has none.

The Company expects to continue requiring cash for operations and exploration and evaluation activities as expenditures are incurred while no revenues are generated. Therefore, its continuance as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing to fund future exploration, evaluation and development of the Gibellini Project and the potential construction of a mine, in order to reach profitable levels of operation. The Company has managed its working capital by controlling its spending on its properties and operations. Due to the ongoing planned advancement of project milestones for the Gibellini Project, the Company will continue to incur costs associated with exploration, evaluation and development activities, while no revenues are being generated.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued support from its shareholders, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, and the ability of the Company to obtain the financing necessary to complete development and achieve profitable operations in the future. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.

Contractual Commitments

Prophecy’s commitments related to mineral properties are disclosed in Note 13 to the Annual Financial Statements. The Company has no commitments for capital expenditures. Prophecy’s other commitments include a corporate office lease:

	2019	2020	2021	2022	Total
Office Lease Obligations	$33,612	$45,489	$24,574	$9,540	$113,215
	$33,612	$45,489	$24,574	$9,540	$113,215

Capital Risk Management

Prophecy considers its capital structure to consist of Share capital, stock options and Share purchase warrants. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the exploration and development of its projects and to pursue and support growth opportunities. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative returns on capital criteria for management. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There has been no change in the Company’s approach to capital management during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

Management is aware that market conditions, driven primarily by vanadium, silver, other metal and coal prices, may limit the Company’s ability to raise additional funds. These factors, and others, are considered when shaping the Company’s capital management strategy.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Company followed the same accounting policies and methods of computation in the Annual Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The significant accounting policies applied and recent accounting pronouncements are described in Notes 4 and 6 to the Annual Financial Statements and Note 2(d) to the condensed interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

In preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas requiring the use of estimates include the rates of amortization for property and equipment, the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability of accounts receivable, determination of environmental obligation provision for closure and reclamation, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of financial instruments and share-based payments, and the determination of the recoverability of deferred income tax assetsbases its estimates and assumptions on current and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management believes the estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

Readers are encouraged to read the significant judgements, estimates and assumptions as described in Note 5 to the Annual Financial Statements.

Changes in and Initial Adoption of Accounting Standards

In the current period, the Company, for the first time, has applied IFRS 16 Leases (as issued by the IASB in January 2016) effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach does not require restatement of prior period financial information and continues to be reported under IAS 17, Leases and IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. IFRS 16 introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. It introduces changes to the lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance leases and requiring the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged.

The Company’s leases consist of corporate office lease arrangements. The Company, on adoption of IFRS 16, recognized lease liabilities in relation to office leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of IAS 17. In relation, under the principles of the new standard these leases are measured as lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. The associated right-of-use asse has been measured at the amount equal to the lease liability on January 1, 2019. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset (refer to Note 5 and Note 9).

Furthermore, the right-of-use asset may be reduced due to impairment losses.

The following table reconciles the Company’s operating lease commitments at December 31, 2018, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Financial Statements, to the lease liability recognized on adoption of IFRS 16 at January 1, 2019:

	Adoption of IFRS 16
Lease commitments as at December 31, 2018	$124,556
Less short-term commitments	(32,313)
	92,243
Impact of discounting	(37,246)
Lease liability as of January 1, 2019	54,997

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISKS

The Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee is responsible for identifying the principal risks of the Company and ensuring that risk management systems are implemented. Prophecy manages its exposure to financial risks, including liquidity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk in accordance with its risk management framework. The Company’s board of directors reviews Prophecy’s policies on an ongoing basis.

Financial Instruments

A description of financial instruments is included in Note 20 to the Annual Financial Statements and Note 11 to the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the thee months ended March 31, 2019. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company has adopted IFRS 9 – Financial instruments. The implementation of the new standard resulted in no impact on the measurement of the Company’s reported financial results; however additional disclosures have been provided.

Related Risks

(a)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by preparing cash flow forecasts of upcoming cash requirements. As at March 31, 2019, the Company had a cash balance of $3,652,189 (December 31, 2018 – $5,304,097). As at March 31, 2019, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,990,834 (December 31, 2018 - $1,636,786), which have contractual maturities of 90 days or less.

(b)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily associated to cash and restricted cash equivalents and receivables, net of allowances. The significant concentration of credit risk is situated in Mongolia. The carrying amount of assets included on the statements of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure.

(c)

Market risk

The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and commodity and equity price risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

(i)

  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’s cash and restricted cash equivalents primarily include highly liquid investments that earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity. Due to the short‐ term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have significant impact on the fair values of the financial instruments as of March 31, 2019.

(ii)

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company has exploration and development projects in the United States, Mongolia and Bolivia and undertakes transactions in various foreign currencies. The Company is therefore exposed to foreign currency risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency and the translation of financial instruments denominated in US dollars, Mongolian tugrik, and Bolivian boliviano into its functional and reporting currency, the Canadian dollar.

Based on the above, net exposures as at March 31, 2019, with other variables unchanged, a 10% (December 31, 2018 – 10%) strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the Mongolian tugrik would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $100,000. A 10% strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the Bolivian boliviano would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $740,000. A 10% strengthening (weakening) of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $44,000. The Company currently does not use any foreign exchange contracts to hedge this currency risk.

(iii)

 Commodity and equity price risk

Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. Commodity prices fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. The supply and demand for these commodities, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, investment decisions by large holders of commodities including governmental reserves and stability of exchange rates can all cause significant fluctuations in prices. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns and monetary systems and political developments.

The Company is also exposed to price risk with regards to equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earning due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market.

The Company closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. Fluctuations in value may be significant.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Design of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Prophecy in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the securities legislation and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Prophecy’s disclosure committee is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and senior members of management. The disclosure committee’s responsibilities include determining whether information is material and ensuring the timely disclosure of material information in accordance with securities laws. The board of directors is responsible for reviewing the Company’s disclosure policy, procedures and controls to ensure that it addresses the Company’s principal business risks, and changes in operations or structure, and facilitates compliance with applicable legislative and regulatory reporting requirements.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after participating with the Company’s management in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Design of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. 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, acquisition and disposition of assets and liabilities;

●

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of management and directors of Prophecy; and

●

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets, and incurrence of liabilities, that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations of controls and procedures

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls 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. Further, 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 judgements in decision-making can be faulty, and that 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 the control. The design of any systems of controls also is 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.
