GR SILVER MINING LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
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 head office address is 1050 – 400 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3A6. The Company’s registered and records office is Suite 1100 – 736 Granville Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6Z 1G3. To date, the Company has not earned operating revenue. The Company trades on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the trading system GRSL.
As at September 30, 2022, the Company has a working capital deficit of $11,602,659 and an accumulated deficit of $50,455,184. The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its operations. The Company's ability to continue its operations 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 process of acquiring and exploring exploration and evaluation assets and has not yet determined whether the 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 condensed interim 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 financial statements.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. Since the declaration, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected workforces, economics, and financial markets globally. The spread of COVID-19 resulted in temporary travel restrictions to Mexico and in Canada, which made work more challenging, however disruptions were minimal to our business.
The extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Company’s business and operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately estimated at this time, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of and the actions required to contain COVID-10 or remedy its impact.

14. 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 fair value of cash is measured at Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of receivables and value added tax and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the shortterm nature of these instruments.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)
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 is considered to be low as they are due from a government agency. Value added taxes are subject to review and potential adjustment by taxation authorities.
Liquidity risk
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash balance of $3,592,128 to settle current liabilities of $15,691,949 and has significant expenditure requirements pursuant to Mexican concession taxes (Note 6 and 8). The Company is exposed to liquidity risk. The funds raised (Note 11(c and d) are not sufficient to cover its current liabilities as of September 30, 2022, and additional financing will be required. 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 has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. 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.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currency. Amounts exposed to foreign currency risk include cash of MX$2,164,614 as of September 30, 2022, and accounts payable of MX$225,316,547. A 10% change in foreign exchange rates will affect profit or loss by less than $1,520,000.
Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s profit or loss due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on profit or loss and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. 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.
GR SILVER MINING LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company defines capital that it manages as shareholders’ equity, consisting of issued common shares, stock options and warrants.
The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
The Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital restrictions. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company had 891,000 warrants expire unexercised.
