Management Discussion and Analysis

For the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2009

1

This management discussion and analysis has been prepared as of September 28, 2009 and should

be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the

Company for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 and the subsequent management discussion

and analysis September 28, 2009. All dollar figures stated herein are expressed in Canadian

dollars, unless otherwise specified.

Description of the Business

The Company is a junior exploration company, incorporated in 1984 under the Companies Act of

British Columbia. It is engaged in the acquisition of natural resource properties of potential

economic significance on which the Company intends to conduct exploration and development.

Pursuant to a resolution passed by shareholders April 2, 2009, the company changed its name to

Encore Renaissance Resources Corp. There was no consolidation of capital.

Effective at the opening April 9, 2009, the common shares of Encore Renaissance Resources

Corp. commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange, and the common shares of

Consolidated Gold Win Ventures Inc. were delisted. The company remains classified as a mineral

exploration/development company.

The Company’s interests remain in mining properties that are currently at the exploration stage

and the economic viability of which has not been proven. The Company has not yet determined

whether these unproven mineral interests contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.

The recoverability of the amounts shown for its unproven mineral interests is dependent upon the

existence of economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial

interest in the property, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the

development, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the mineral

properties

The Company is currently focusing its exploration activities on mineral deposits in both Canada

and the United States, primarily in copper, gold and silver in Elko County, Nevada; gold in

Northern British Columbia, Canada; platinum in Ungava, Quebec, Canada; and diamonds in

Drybones Bay on Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada.

Unproved Mineral Interests - Highlights:

Victoria Mine, Elko, Nevada (copper):

In September 2007, the Company entered into an option agreement with Kokanee Placer (USA)

Ltd. (“KokPlc”) under which the Company may earn, subject to regulatory approval, a 10%

interest in the Victoria Mine, located to the east of the Company’s Dolly Varden Claims in Elko

County, Nevada.

To exercise the option, the Company is obligated to pay $ 1,000,000 on or before March 1, 2009,

to issue 3,500,000 common shares (350,000 effective with the 2008 year consolidation) and to

incur exploration expenditures of $1,500,000 on or before September 1, 2008. In November

2007, the Company received regulatory approval, and in December 2007, the Company issued

1,500,000 common shares (before share consolidation) with a deemed value of $165,000. In June

2008, the Company paid $1,000,000 and issued 100,000 common shares (after share

consolidation) with a deemed value of $110,000. The remaining 100,000 common shares (after

share consolidation) are to be issued during the 2009 fiscal year.

The Victoria Mine property consists of 5 patented and 100 unpatented claims and lies in the

center of the Dolly Varden Mountains in northeastern Nevada, between Wendover and Ely. The

property was operated by Anaconda Mining Corp. in the late 1970’s and produced over

40,000,000 pounds of copper with recoveries of silver and bismuth reported

Anaconda acquired the property in the early 1940's; sank a 500-foot deep vertical shaft, drove

9,000 feet of drifts, crosscuts and raises on three levels (the 150, 300, and 500-foot levels) and

drilled 47 underground core holes and developed the resources that they later put into production

in1975.

Open pit mining commenced in the mid 1970’s with underground mining following. Anaconda's

ore reserves, at the initiation of production, amounted to about 2.425 million tons at a grade of

2.42% copper and 0.59 oz. per ton silver, down to the 6,786 elevation. Below that developed

level, Anaconda encountered mineralization similar to that mined down to the 6,200 elevation.

Approximately 1.357 million tons at a grade of 2.39% copper and 0.35 oz. per ton silver below

the 7110 elevation using the Anaconda cut off grade of just under 2% are estimated to remain at

the 6786 level.

Due to the unstable world financial market conditions, the Company has undertaken an

aggressive re-evaluation of the property and its economic feasibility at this time before it

proceeds to advance further funds to continue the contemplated initial exploration and

development program on the property, including providing a 43-101 compliant report.

The budget contemplated for the next 12 months:

Geological mapping and modeling $ 50,000

Geochemical surveying to the east 50,000

Assays, rock samples 25,000

Geophysical surveying IP and Magnetometor 150,000

Drilling 1500 metres (RC & core drilling) 450,000

Additional drill site selection, prep and permitting 25,000

Permitting and Oxide Leach Pad Preparation 150,000

Assays leach testing 50,000

Supervising, reporting and analysis Contingency 150,000

$ 1,100,000

South Dolly Varden, Elko County, Nevada, USA (Copper, Gold, Silver)

Status – Active – On-Going

In October 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 50% interest in 16

South Dolly Varden claims situated in Elko County, Nevada. To earn this interest, the Company

undertook to pay US$75,000, issue 750,000 shares (now issued) and complete a US$300,000

exploration work program over three years. The property is subject to an annual royalty equal to

2% of net smelter return gross on any production of metals from the claims.

The Company is also required to incur US$300,000 in exploration expenditures as follows:

On or before Cumulative Expenditure

On Effective date US$75,000

First anniversary US$50,000

Second anniversary US$150,000, cumulative

Third anniversary US$300,000, cumulative

In September 2007, the Company entered into an option agreement with Kokanee Placer Ltd.

under which the Company may earn, subject to regulatory approval, a 51% interest in 11 mineral

claims that abut the north boundary of the above noted Dolly Varden claims. To exercise the

option, the Company is obligated to pay $200,000 on or before March 31, 2009, to issue

3,000,000 common shares and to incur exploration expenditures of US $850,000 on or before

December 1, 2009. In November 2007, the Company received regulatory approval, and in

December 2007, the Company issued 1,500,000 common shares (before share consolidation) with

a deemed value of $195,000. The remaining 150,000 common shares (after share consolidation)

are to be issued during the 2009 fiscal year.

Located just 75 miles south of the Victoria Mine and the Dolly Varden properties is Quadra

Mining Co.’s huge Robinson mine which in 2005, produced 126 million lbs. copper and 81,000

oz gold at grades of 0.6% Cu and 0.25 g/t Au. 100 miles to the east is the world’s third largest

mine and the largest copper/gold mine in the United States at Bingham Canyon in neighboring

Utah which has produced more than 16 million tonnes of copper since operations began in 1904.

Both the Robinson and Bingham mines are profitably mining grades of 0.6% copper which is the

copper grade discovered in over 75 feet of core at the Company’s Dolly Varden property while

the Victoria Mine has proven grades of more than 2% copper. Clearly, this region is host to large

economic deposits.

The Company has completed 15 holes in Phase One of their ongoing exploration program at the

Dolly Varden Copper/Gold properties. The Phase One program intersected significant Copper

mineralization in every hole in an area covering approx. 5 sq. km. In the very first ‘discovery

hole’ drilled on the property in Dec 2006 an intersection of 75 feet of 66% Copper was

encountered.

The Company’s Dolly Varden property revealed surface samples of up to:

• Copper – 9.34 per cent

• Gold – 4.27g/t

• Silver – 33.57 ounces per tonne

• Zinc – 20.2 per cent

• Molybdenum – 0.135%

• Uranium – 0.19%

A Porphyry system has been suggested as the host body for the discovery, the source of which is

the focus of exploration efforts currently ongoing at the Dolly Varden area properties by the

Company and two other companies.
