GR SILVER MINING LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
GR Silver Mining Ltd. (the “Company” or “GR Silver”) was incorporated on November 8, 2012, under the laws of British Columbia. The Company’s registered and records office is 5[th] Floor 410 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6B 1Z3. To date, the Company has not generated any operating revenue. The Company trades on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the trading symbol GRSL.
As at September 30, 2024, the Company has a working capital of $635,851 and an accumulated deficit of $62,087,446. The Company expects to incur further losses in the exploration and advancement of its mineral projects. The Company's ability to continue the exploration of its mineral projects and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is in the business of acquiring and exploring exploration and evaluation assets and has not yet determined whether any of its properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production.
These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and thus be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these consolidated financial statements.
2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance and basis of presentation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual IFRS financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and are prepared consistent with the accounting policies disclosed therein. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries: Goldplay de Mexico SA de CV, Minera San Marcial SA de CV, Minera Matatan SA de CV (“Matatan”), and Mineral La Rastra SA de CV which are all incorporated in Mexico and engaged in the business of resource exploration.
The Company’s formerly owned subsidiary Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. (“Marlin”), which owns 100% of Oro Gold de S.A. de C.V. (“Oro Gold”) and Marlin Gold Trading Inc., were consolidated until the date of disposition which occurred on July 16, 2024.
The Company consolidates its subsidiaries on the basis that it controls the subsidiaries through its ability to govern its financial and operating policies. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
GR SILVER MINING LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)
2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)
Financial instruments
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), financial assets at amortized cost and other financial liabilities. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets or liabilities were acquired. Management determines the classification of financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition.
The Company’s marketable securities are classified as FVTPL. Marketable securities held in companies with an active market are classified as current assets at fair value. When there is evidence of impairment the shares are written down to the expected realizable value.
New accounting policies and amendments
The Company adopted: Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) – the amendments require that an entity disclose its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy.
3. RECEIVABLES
The Company’s current receivables primarily consist of refundable sales tax from government taxation authorities in Canada.
The Company maintains its value added tax (“VAT”) receivable from the taxation authorities in Mexico as a long-term receivable due to a historically lengthy collection cycle. During the period ended September 30, 2024, the Company provisioned value added tax by $Nil (September 30, 2023 - $9,157) based on increasing provisions for aged value added tax receivable. During the period ended September 30, 2024, the Company recovered $623,981 in VAT and recorded a recovery of $284,598 in relation to amounts collected previously written down.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined that the carrying value of its interest in the La Trinidad property was impaired as no additional expenditures were planned going forward. The Company accordingly recorded an impairment charge of $12,589,327 in relation to the book value of the asset.
On July 16, 2024, the Company closed a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with a private arm’s-length Canadian company (“PrivateCo”) and sold its 100% interest in Marlin.

(“Oro Gold”) a private Mexican company that owns 100% of nine mineral concessions (the "Other Concessions"), including the past producing La Trinidad mine. In accordance with the SPA the Company transferred to PrivateCo all existing assets and rights, as well as all outstanding undertakings, covenants, indemnities and obligations, of Marlin and its subsidiaries, including Oro Gold, in consideration for which the Company received a 0.5% NSR Royalty on the Other Concessions owned by Oro Gold and a 10-year first right of refusal on any disposition of Other Concessions by PrivateCo.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
-
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The carrying value of cash, receivables, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and Mexico mining concession fees approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Marketable securities are valued using Level 1 inputs.
Financial risk factors
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, receivables and value added tax. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in receivables is remote and has deposited cash in high credit quality financial institutions. Credit risk with respect to value added taxes due from a government agency in Canada is low and undeterminable in Mexico based on past refund practices of the Mexican tax authorities. Value added taxes are subject to review and potential adjustment by taxation authorities.
Liquidity risk
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash balance of $2,321,195 to settle current liabilities of $1,948,983. The Company is exposed to significant liquidity risk and additional financing will be required and may not be attainable. Additional funds will be required for property expenditures, retention of essential personnel, general and administration and to maintain its listing on the TSX.V
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.
Interest rate risk
The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade demand investments issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. Concession fees past due are subject to accruing interest at rates set by the Government of Mexico. Such interest rates are publicly issued and applied against overdue amounts as accrued to the concession fees liability.
