2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" which is part of IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS® Accounting Standards") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Because these statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 26, 2025.
References made throughout the consolidated financial statements to "US dollar" or "USD" are to United States dollars, "C$" or "CAD" are to Canadian dollars, "MXN" are to Mexican pesos, "BOB" are to Bolivian bolivianos. All references are in thousands, unless otherwise noted.
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The company acquired Treasury Bills and Treasury notes during the 3 months ended September 30, 2025, these instruments are financial assets and will be carried at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI). The instruments are classified as Marketable Securities and Long-term investments in the statement of financial position. The instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTOCI are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). When the securities mature or are sold the cumulative realized gains and losses are recognized through profit and loss as Finance Costs.
The remainder of the accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and reflect all the adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with IFRS for the interim periods presented.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
New IFRS accounting standards and pronouncements - adopted
The following amendments to standards were effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025:
Lack of exchangeability – Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
The amendments contain guidance to specify when a currency is exchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. There was no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of these amendments however the guidance contained was considered when determining the appropriate exchange rate to record transactions denominated in Bolivian Bolivianos, see section below in note 4 for further information.
New IFRS accounting standards and pronouncements – not yet adopted
Below are the amendments to standards applicable for future periods that the Company has not yet adopted:
Amendments to IFRS 9: Financial Instruments and IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to update classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9: Financial Instruments, and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. It also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features. The IASB added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs and amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 with early application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect of these amendments on our financial statements.
IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements ("IFRS 18"), which replaces IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company-specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management-defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are classified.
Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB also made minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard.
The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this new standard to its financial statements.

4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that may have a material impact on the financial statements. Estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates. The Company's critical accounting judgements and estimates have been consistently applied with those presented in Note 5 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 and are supplemented by the changes described below:
Determination of Exchange rate for Bolivian operations
The Sinchi Wayra and Illapa operations are located in Bolivia and sales revenue from the Bolivian operations is denominated and settled in US Dollars but most operating expenses are denominated in Bolivian Bolivianos (BOB). The functional currency of the Bolivian subsidiaries is United States dollars and has not changed since acquisition. Since the operations were acquired in 2022 the Company has used the official exchange rate published by the Central Bank of Bolivia to record all transactions denominated in BOB, this exchange rate has been fixed at 6.96 BOL/USD since 2009.
Until late 2023 and throughout 2024 the exchange rates quoted by banks to buy BOB with US Dollars was generally in line with the official exchange rate and varied only by several basis points. The spread between the official exchange rate (the "Official rate") and the Bank rate used to acquire BOB has widened progressively and is no longer a temporary situation. Management expects that the spread will continue due to macroeconomic fundamentals. Recording BOB denominated expenses at the Official rate is no longer appropriate and to better present the economic substance of BOB denominated transactions, management will change its approach by using a spot rate that is in line with the Bank rate.
As defined in IAS 21 – The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, the BOB is exchangeable, however because there is no availability of the currency at the official exchange rate it is more appropriate to determine the spot rate that is the actual exchange rate that is being used to purchase BOB. Management has applied an estimation technique to determine the spot exchange rate used for translating transactions denominated in BOB. This estimated rate (the "Bank rate") is based on the average of weekly quotations obtained from commercial banks which reflects the rate at which an orderly exchange transaction takes place at the measurement date between market participants under the prevailing economic conditions.
The official rate of 6.96 BOB/USD has been used to record transactions denominated in BOB since the acquisition of the Bolivian operations until December 31, 2024. Starting January 1, 2025 the Bank rate has been used to record transactions denominated in BOB. The average Bank rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 12.68 BOB/USD. All monetary assets and liabilities outstanding as at September 30, 2025 have been revalued using the Bank spot rate of 11.95 BOB/USD. The exchange rate is management's estimate of the $USD value of transactions denominated in BOB, accordingly comparative figures which were translated using the official rate have not been restated as the change in estimate is only applied prospectively.
5. RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIOD COMPARATIVES
During the preparation of the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company identified several errors in the previously filed 2024 interim consolidated financial statements and the 2023 audited annual consolidated financial statements. The Company has determined that a correction was required and as such, has restated its previously reported consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2023 and the consolidated statement of financial position as at January 1, 2023. Refer to note 3 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The interim consolidated statement of income and statement of cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 have also been restated; refer to note 5 for details of the adjustments. The nature and impact of the corrections made to the interim consolidated statement of income are described below:

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise noted)
5. RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIOD COMPARATIVES (continued)
(i) Joint Operation Adjustments:
The Illapa entity is 100% owned by the Company however its operations are part of a net operating cash flow interest agreement in which the Company has a 45% interest and the remaining 55% interest is held by Corporación Minera de Bolivia ("COMIBOL"). The net operating cash flow interest agreement meets the definition of a Joint Operation in accordance with IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements, and the Company recognizes its 45% share of the operation's assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses arising from the Joint Operation. The Company is solely responsible for certain transactions made by the Illapa entity, and for these transactions, the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recognized at 100% in the Company's Financial Statements and result in balances payable to or owed from COMIBOL. The net amount due to/from COMIBOL from differences in the participation share of certain transactions has been recognized as a non-current other asset or liability.
The errors identified affect multiple lines in the consolidated financial statements due to incorrectly accounting for the proportion of the Company's interest in certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Joint Operation. The Company previously recorded 100% of the Illapa entity's foreign exchange gain/loss, additions to mineral properties, plant and equipment and certain intercompany expenses which form part of the Joint Operation and should have been recognized at 45%, the Company's proportional interest.
The adjustments have resulted in an increase to comprehensive income of $4,018 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and increase to comprehensive income of $8,233 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. See column (i) in the table below for details of the lines affected.
(ii) CAPEX Receivable & PPA Adjustment:
The Illapa Joint Operation's net operating cash flow interest agreement establishes that the Company will transfer its 45% ownership of all the fixed assets of the joint operation to COMIBOL at the end of the agreement. COMIBOL will compensate the Company for the asset transfer at different points in time throughout the agreement by either making payments to the Company or reducing the amount payable to COMIBOL for its 55% interest in the joint operation.
The amounts receivable from COMIBOL have been separated into two different categories, the initial investment period and the continuing investment period, as classified in the net operating cash flow interest agreement. There was no adjustment to the initial investment period receivable.
The continuing investment period's CAPEX receivable is a payment of 45% of the capital expenditures incurred between 2020 to 2027. The receivable amount of this period's expenditures becomes available to the Company to offset against amounts due to COMIBOL for its 55% interest at different points in time from 2024 to 2028 if the operation generates positive cash flows. If the joint operation does not generate enough positive cash flows to offset the amount receivable from the continuing investment period, the remaining amounts will be paid at the end of the agreement.
Since the continuing investment period receivable is compensation for the transfer of the Company's 45% interest in mineral properties, plant & equipment to COMIBOL at the end of the contract, this amount should not have been recognized as a receivable but rather as part of the residual value of the assets. The residual value has been recognized as a non-depletable mineral properties, plant and equipment balance. Since the amount that will ultimately be received at the end of the agreement will vary depending on the actual CAPEX investment made and the actual payable amount according to an appraisal process, each period the difference between the initial carrying value and the revised carrying value will be recorded as a prospective adjustment to depreciation expense of MPPE so that at the end of the agreement, the ending value of mineral properties, plant and equipment ("MPPE") will be equal to the amount receivable from COMIBOL.
As a result of the restated CAPEX receivable balances, comprehensive income increased by $944 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and by $2,832 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. See column (ii) in the table below for details.

5. RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIOD COMPARATIVES (continued)
(iii) Amortization of Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) & Impairment:
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company identified errors in the depreciation, depletion and amortization expense that were generated from the Sinchi Wayra and Illapa acquisition. The amortization expense was recorded incorrectly due to differences between the local accounting records and the consolidated accounting records. After synchronizing and reconciling the PPA amounts, a reduction to depletion, depreciation and amortization expense of $1,232 was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and a reduction of $1,835 was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. See column (iii) in the table below for details.
(iv) Other Adjustments:
The Company identified various errors relating to prior periods caused by differences in the accounting records between the Corporate consolidation records and the local accounting records. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, these adjustments resulted in an increase of $7,278 to foreign exchange gain, and a corresponding $7,278 decrease to other comprehensive income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, these adjustments resulted in an increase of $4,116 to foreign exchange gain, and a corresponding $4,116 decrease to other comprehensive income. The net impact to comprehensive income for the period was $nil. See column (iv) in the table below for details.
The consolidated statement of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 has been restated to reflect the corrections described above. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, operating cash flows before non-cash working capital increased by $4,019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, operating cash flows before non-cash working capital increased by $8,232. Net cash generated or used by operating, investing, and financing activities were not impacted for both comparative periods.
The consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 has been restated for the balances as at December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024 for corrections to accumulated other comprehensive loss and retained deficit. The cumulative impact of the corrections resulted in a decrease of $998 to the opening accumulated other comprehensive loss as at December 31, 2023. Other comprehensive income for the comparative period decreased by $4,116, resulting in a decrease of $3,118 to the ending accumulated other comprehensive income as at September 30, 2024. The cumulative impact to the opening retained deficit as at December 31, 2023 increased the balance by $40,191. Net income for the comparative period increased by $17,016, resulting in an increase of $23,175 to the ending deficit as at September 30, 2024.

6. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
A summary of the Company’s trade and other receivables is as follows:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Trade receivables | 18,152 | 17,402 |
| COMIBOL contract prepayment | 1,395 | 2,395 |
| COMIBOL initial investment period CAPEX receivable (note 6(a)) | 13,112 | 21,158 |

| Less: current portion | 77,691 | 99,854 |
| Non-current portion | 13,595 | 30,556 |
a) COMIBOL initial investment period CAPEX receivable
The COMIBOL initial investment period CAPEX receivable is a reimbursement of 22.5% of a pre-defined amount of capital investments made by the Company from 2012 to 2019 in the Illapa Joint Operation. The refundable amount becomes available for the Company to offset against amounts due to COMIBOL for its 55% interest in the operation over seven years from 2020 to 2026. If the joint operation does not produce sufficient positive cash flows, COMIBOL can defer payment until cash flows are positive at which point the amounts receivable can be used to reduce the amount due to COMIBOL for its 55% share of the interest in the operation. If the operation does not generate enough positive cash flows to offset amounts due, the outstanding amount receivable will be paid by COMIBOL at the end of the agreement. The classification between current and non-current has been made based upon management’s best estimate of when the receivable will be used to offset future payments to COMIBOL for its 55% interest.
The timing of the cash flows will vary depending on the operational results from the joint operation and how much is payable to COMIBOL for their 55% interest in the operation. Depending on estimates and actual results each period the asset will be revalued to reflect the timing of the expected cash flows and will be discounted using the same effective rate at acquisition resulting in recognizing a gain or loss on the re-estimation of cash flows related the CAPEX receivable.

10. CONSIDERATION PAYABLE
On March 18, 2022, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Sinchi Wayra and Illapa (the “Acquisition”) from Glencore plc (“Glencore”) under the terms and conditions outlined in the Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”).
On May 10, 2023, the Company signed amendments to the SPA (“Amended SPA”) that impacted the timing of the repayments of the deferred cash consideration and timing of payment of certain VAT amounts collected by the Company which generated a gain on adjustment to consideration payable of $933 in the year-ended December 31, 2023.
On March 28, 2024, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Glencore to amend the SPA, Amended SPA and certain transaction documents in connection with the Acquisition. On October 3, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive omnibus agreement under the terms established in the Term Sheet.
The following table summarizes the consideration payable to Glencore.
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Base purchase price (note 10(a)) | - | 34,625 |
| Contingent value rights (note 10(b)) | 10,045 | 10,158 |
| Balance, end of period | 10,045 | 44,783 |
| Less: current portion | - | 10,000 |
| Non-current portion | 10,045 | 34,783 |
a) Base purchase price
Subject to the Acceleration Option (as defined below), the Company will pay up to $80,000 in cash to Glencore in eight equal annual instalments of $10,000 each (the “Base Purchase Price” or “BPP”) with the first payment being made on or before November 1, 2025. The Company can exercise an option to accelerate the payment of the outstanding balance of the Base Purchase Price in full at any time, such prepayment amount will be $40,000 if exercised prior to November 1, 2025 and shall decrease by $2,000 for each annual instalment of $10,000 that has been paid by the Company (the “Acceleration Option”).
As at the date of the Term Sheet the fair value of the BPP was estimated using a discounted cash flow method to calculate the net present value of the expected cash flows. The initial recognition of the liability used a discount rate of 20% based on various qualitative and quantitative considerations.
As at September 30, 2025, the Company has paid Glencore $40,000 to exercise the accelerated payment option in full and has fully extinguished the base purchase price liability.

10. CONSIDERATION PAYABLE (continued)
b) Contingent value rights & additional payments
The Company granted to Glencore a contingent value right (the "CVR") whereby the Company will pay Glencore a monthly payment of $1,333 (the "CVR Payment"), subject to a total cap of $77,700 (the "Valuation Cap"), in the event that in any calendar month after the date the parties enter into the Term Sheet, the average London Metal Exchange ("LME") spot price of zinc (or the highest open hedge price if the Hedging Option (as defined below) has been exercised) in the calendar month is at least $3,850 per tonne (the "Base Price"). The CVR Payment will increase by $83 for each increase of $100 per tonne above the Base Price and up to a price of $5,049.99 per tonne.
In addition to the CVR Payment, in the event the average LME spot price of zinc (or the highest open hedge price if the Hedging Option has been exercised) in a calendar month is at least $5,050 per tonne (the "Additional Payment Price"), the CVR Payment will increase by $83 for each increase of $100 per tonne above the Additional Payment Price and the Company will pay Glencore a monthly payment of $83 as a Bonus Payment that will increase by $83 for each increase of $100 per tonne above the Additional Payments Price. The Bonus Payment is not considered as part of the CVR Payment.
Upon the occurrence of the monthly average zinc LME spot price exceeding the Base Price, Glencore can require the Company to hedge a limited amount of zinc production from its Bolivian mining operations (so long as the hedging price would exceed the Base Price) subject to certain conditions (the "Hedging Option").
The CVR and Additional Payments will be effective from the date of the Term Sheet until the earlier of December 31, 2032 and the date the Valuation Cap is reached. The Additional Payments and the Hedging Option will terminate once the Company is no longer obligated to make CVR Payments.
The fair value at the initial recognition of the CVR was calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation with key inputs and assumptions including the zinc spot price ($2,974 per tonne), the expected price of zinc in each year until December 31, 2032, the market risk-free rate and credit spread and the volatility and variability of historical zinc prices.
The Company performed a valuation exercise as at September 30, 2025, and determined a fair value of the CVR of $10,045. The gain on change in fair value was $113 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which is recorded as a finance cost (Note 17).
c) Deferred cash consideration, royalties payable and other payables
Prior to the Term Sheet, the Company had $164,566 in consideration payable accounted for as deferred cash consideration, royalties payable and other payables from the profits on sale of inventory and payment of certain VAT amounts. As a result of entering into the term sheet as described above, the Company determined that the contractual change was an extinguishment of the previous liabilities and recognized the base purchase price, CVR and additional payment obligations at their fair value which resulted in a gain of $133,255 in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

On April 23, 2021, in connection with the acquisition of Zimapan, Trafigura Mexico, S.A. de C.V. ("Trafigura") loaned the Company $17,616 under a new loan facility ("Trafigura Loan Facility").
The Trafigura Loan Facility is secured by a first charge over all Zimapan Mine assets and all other material rights and properties owned by Carrizal Mining. In addition, the Company issued to Trafigura 28,000,000 warrants ("Trafigura Warrants"), each Trafigura Warrant exercisable into a Santacruz common share at C$0.395 per share, for a period of 12 months with respect to 7,280,000 of the Trafigura Warrants and 42 months with respect to the remaining 20,720,000 Trafigura Warrants. As at December 31, 2024, a total of 13,280,000 Trafigura Warrants were exercised for gross proceeds to the Company of $4,049 (C$5,246) (December 31, 2023 - 13,280,000 warrants for proceeds of $4,049 (C$5,246)). On October 24, 2024 the remaining 14,720,000 Trafigura Warrants expired unexercised.
Pursuant to the Trafigura Loan Facility, Trafigura will have the right to offset payments owing by Trafigura to Carrizal Mining and/or its affiliates under existing commodity purchase and sale agreements against payments owing by Carrizal Mining to Trafigura under the Trafigura Loan. No offsets were made as of September 30, 2025.
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a new amended and restated agreement to settle the outstanding principal amount of $4,156. The amended agreement has the same annual interest rate as the original agreement (1-month SOFR + 6.5%) and is for a period of 36 months, ending on October 31, 2027. The loan is repayable in monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest for the respective period. The Company is fully compliant with all financial covenants stipulated in the agreement.
c) Other loans payable
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company entered into contracts to sell trucks and machinery for net proceeds of $1,310. The Company subsequently leased the trucks and machinery back from the counterparty for a period of five years at a financing charge of 10.0% per annum and is required to make quarterly lease payments plus accrued interest.
As the contracts provide the Company the right to repurchase the trucks and machinery at the end of the term for their residual value of 1%, the Company has an irrevocable right to repurchase the assets, and control of the assets did not transfer to the counterparty. Hence, these contracts are accounted for as financing transactions in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, rather than as sale and leaseback transactions under IFRS 16 - Leases.
In accordance with IFRS 9, these contracts were recorded as a financial liability at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. As at September 30, 2025, the financial liability was $346 (December 31, 2024 - $744). No interest expense was accrued as it was immaterial.

c) Bolivia uncertain income tax position relating to tax year 2017
As part of the Acquisition, the Company assumed potential pre-acquisition income tax liabilities for Bolivia’s 2017 tax year related to decommissioning and restoration provisions, depreciation of mineral properties, plant and equipment, undeclared income, and non-deductible expenses in the determination of the Bolivian current income tax. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company received notification from the Bolivian tax authorities on its decision to deny an appeal and confirmed the tax reassessment of 118,306 BOB ($9,900), which includes tax interest and penalties. The Company and the Bolivian tax authorities agreed on a financing arrangement (“financing arrangement”) by making an initial deposit of 40,479 BOB ($3,387) (which represents 35% of the total balance) in the second quarter of 2023, and monthly instalments for the remaining balance of 75,175 BOB ($6,291) over the next five years to June 2028.
The Company is challenging the Bolivian tax authorities’ decision and has filed legal proceedings with the Supreme Court of Justice and the Constitutional Court in Bolivia.
As the matter relates to income tax, and there is uncertainty over whether the relevant authorities will accept the current tax treatment under the Bolivian tax law, management believes that it meets the definition of an uncertain tax treatment and this in within the scope of IAS 12 – Income Taxes and IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. In accordance with IFRIC 23, an entity shall consider whether it is probable (more likely than not) that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. If an entity concludes it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the entity shall determine the taxable income or loss consistent with the tax treatment applied in its income tax filings.
Pursuant to the Sinchiwayra and Illapa acquisition agreements, Glencore has agreed to indemnify the Company for up to a maximum of $25,000, in aggregate, for all claims and liabilities arising from the acquisition. Such indemnification would, subject to such cap and certain conditions, extend to income tax liabilities. In the unlikely event that the Company exhausts all avenues and receives an unfavourable ruling, the Company is indemnified by the acquisition agreements and would not be liable for any income tax liability up to $25,000.
The Company obtained legal advice to assess the probability of a final favourable ruling from its legal proceedings and the acceptance of the current tax treatments of the various tax items. Based on the legal assessment, the Company believes it is probable that the current tax treatments will be accepted as it has a strong substantive defense. Accordingly, the Company believes there is no current tax liability and has not recognized an expense related to this matter as at September 30, 2025.
As at September 30, 2025, the Company has remitted tax instalments totaling $6,411 inclusive of interest and penalties to the Bolivian tax authorities based on the financing arrangement. The Company has recognized a liability of $4,652 to account for the obligation to make the remaining payments under the financing arrangement (Note 12). The Company needs to continue to make payments under the financing arrangement until there is final legal resolution to avoid adverse actions from the taxation authorities such as the seizing of bank accounts. However, as the Company believes the current tax owing related to this matter is $nil and the amounts paid will ultimately be refunded to the Company, the total payment made to date of $6,405 and the liability for the remaining outstanding payments of $4,652 under the financing arrangement have been recognized as “trade and other receivables” (Note 6).
On January 7, 2025 the Supreme Court of Justice ruled in favor of the Company by issuing sentence 188/2025 which nullified the previous rulings in favor of the tax authority and requires the Tax authority issue a new assessment that is legally compliant, at that point management will determine whether or not to accept the new assessment or could challenge it again. The tax authority appealed the decision during the second quarter of 2025, but the appeal was denied in October 2025 a second review of the appeal is still pending by the Constitutional Tribunal however the first denial makes the sentence 188/2025 enforceable and management is currently working with the Tax Authority to arrange the terms for refunding the payments made under the financing arrangement. The appeal does not affect management’s current legal assessment which believes that it is probable that the current tax treatments will be accepted. Accordingly, the Company believes there is no current tax liability and has not recognized an expense related to this matter as at September 30, 2025.

19. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's objective when managing its capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern while at the same time maximizing the growth of its business and providing returns to its shareholders. The Company's capital structure consists of shareholders' equity (comprising issued capital plus equity reserves plus deficit) with a shareholders' equity of $183,243 as at September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $131,347).
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments based on changes to its economic environment and the risk characteristics of the Company's assets. The Company's capital requirements are effectively managed based on the Company having a thorough reporting, planning and forecasting process to help identify the funds required to ensure the Company is able to meet its operating and growth objectives.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements with the exception of compliance with covenants for the Trafigura Loan Facility, see note 11(c) for details.

The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are as follows:
- Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
- Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability based on unobservable market data.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature.
Marketable securities consists of US treasury notes and US treasury bills which are held as part of the Company's cash position and liquidity management strategy. The Marketable securities are measured at fair value using level 1 inputs, the unrealized gain/loss is recorded as other comprehensive income and once the securities are sold or mature the corresponding gain/loss is recorded as finance income/cost.
The securities are held with Stifel bank which uses a portion of the holdings as collateral for the Standby Letters of Credit that were issued to Banco BISA and Banco Credito de Bolivia (see note 11a). Although the securities held can be readily converted to cash, they are restricted to the extent that the amounts serve as collateral. The Standy Letter of credit issued to Banco BISA is for $10,000 and expires on May 26, 2026. The standby letter of credit issued to Banco Credito de Bolivia is for $5,830 and expires on March 26, 2026, and automatically renews each year. Since the standby letter of credit to Banco Credito de Bolivia will renew indefinitely, the amount held as collateral has been classified as non-current.
Trade receivables are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of trade receivables is measured based on inputs other than quoted prices for the underlying commodity prices (silver, lead, zinc, copper) to which the receivable relates as the trade receivables are provisionally priced at the time of sale.
The fair value of the loans payable for disclosure purposes is determined using discounted cash flows based on the expected amounts and timing of future cash flows discounted using a market rate of interest adjusted for appropriate credit risk.
The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
| $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| Assets | ||||||
| Marketable securities | 19,212 | - | - | - | - | - |

| Liabilities | ||||||
| Consideration payable | - | - | 10,045 | - | - | 10,158 |
| - | - | 10,045 | - | - | 10,158 |
The majority of the Company's trade receivables arose from provisional concentrate sales and are valued using quoted market prices based on the forward London Metal Exchange for silver, zinc and lead and the London Bullion Market Association P.M. fix for silver.
The methodology and assessment of inputs for determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities as well as the levels of hierarchy for the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value remains unchanged from that at December 31, 2024.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
The Company has exposure to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns. The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework and reviews the Company's policies on an ongoing basis.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's trade receivables.
The Company has concentrate contracts to sell the zinc, lead and copper concentrates produced by all of the Company's mines. Concentrate contracts are a common business practice in the mining industry. The terms of the concentrate contracts may require the Company to deliver concentrate that has a value greater than the payment received at the time of delivery, thereby introducing the Company to credit risk of the buyers of concentrates. Should any of these counterparties not honour purchase arrangements, or should any of them become insolvent, the Company may incur losses for products already shipped and be forced to sell its concentrates on the spot market or it may not have a market for its concentrates and therefore its future operating results may be materially adversely impacted. At September 30, 2025, the Company had receivable balances associated with buyers of its concentrates of $18,152 (December 31, 2024 - $17,402), the Company's concentrate is sold to well-known and well-established international concentrate buyers.
The following financial assets represent the maximum credit risk to the Company:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 40,018 | 35,721 |
| Marketable securities | 19,212 | - |
| Trade and other receivables | 33,923 | 41,864 |
| Prepaid expenses and deposits | 7,521 | 5,656 |
Management constantly monitors and assesses the credit risk resulting from its concentrate sales, trading counterparties and customers. With the exception to the above, the Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows. The Company has in place a rigorous planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansion plans. The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations, its holdings of cash and short-term investments, and its committed loan facilities.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following tables summarize the remaining contractual maturities of the Company's financial liabilities and operating and capital commitments on an undiscounted basis at September 30, 2025:
| <1 year | 1 – 2 years | 2 – 5 years | >5 years | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| Trade payables and accrued liabilities | 39,267 | 5,014 | - | - | 44,281 |
| Consideration payable – CVR & additional payments | 430 | 1,705 | 6,866 | 5,063 | 14,064 |
| Loans payable | 33,850 | 1,879 | - | - | 35,729 |
| Lease payments | 1,633 | - | - | - | 1,633 |
| 75,180 | 8,598 | 6,866 | 5,063 | 95,707 |
Currency risk
The Company reports its financial statements in USD; however, the Company operates in jurisdictions that utilize other currencies. As a consequence, the financial results of the Company's operations as reported in USD are subject to changes in the value of the USD relative to local currencies. Since the Company's sales are denominated in USD and a portion of the Company's operating costs and capital spending are in local currencies, the Company is negatively impacted by strengthening local currencies relative to the USD and positively impacted by the inverse.
The sensitivity of the Company's net loss to changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Bolivian boliviano, the Mexican peso and the Canadian dollar, would be as follows: a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Bolivian boliviano would change the Company's net income by approximately $525, a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Mexican peso would change the Company's net loss by approximately $98, and a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Canadian dollar would change the Company's net loss by approximately ($69).

| Net financial assets (liabilities) | 827 | (44,775) | 41,789 | (24,963) | (27,123) |
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. As at September 30, 2025, the Company's exposure to interest rate risk on interest bearing liabilities is limited to its consideration payable, debt facilities and lease liabilities. Based on the Company's interest rate exposure at September 30, 2025, a change of 1% increase or decrease of market interest rate would impact the Company's income or loss by approximately $378.
Price risk
Metal price risk is the risk that changes in metal prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its related financial instruments. The Company derives its revenue from the sale of silver, zinc, lead and copper. The Company's sales are directly dependent on metal prices that have shown significant volatility and are beyond the Company's control. Consistent with the Company's mission to provide equity investors with exposure to changes in precious metal prices, the Company's current policy is to not hedge the price of precious metal.

21. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND KEY MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION
The Company's related parties include its subsidiaries, joint arrangements and key management personnel. During its normal course of operation, the Company enters into transactions with its related parties for goods and services. All related party transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, have been disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

Remuneration of key management personnel
Key management includes directors of the Company, the CEO, the CFO, the Executive Chairman, and other members of key management. Compensation to key management personnel was as follows:
| Three months ended September 30, | Nine months ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| Management and consulting fees | 611 | 988 | 1,920 | 2,059 |
| Share-based compensation | 919 | 113 | 2,201 | 132 |
| 1,530 | 1,101 | 4,121 | 2,191 |
Of the $611 and $1,920 in management and consulting fees incurred with related parties during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, $53 and $170, respectively (2024 - $58 and $109, respectively) was related to directors' fees and $558 and $1,750 (2024 - $930 and $1,950, respectively), was related to management fees.
22. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief executive officer and the executive management team, collectively the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The Company primarily manages its business by looking at individual producing and developing resource projects as well as the aggregate of the exploration and evaluation properties and typically segregate these projects between production, development, and exploration.
a) Operating segments
The following reportable operating segments have been identified: the Bolivar mine and processing plant, the Porco mine and processing plant, the Caballo Blanco Group which includes the Tres Amigos, Colquechaquita mines and the Don Diego processing plant, the San Lucas Group which includes the Reserva mine and San Lucas feed sourcing business, Zimapan mine and processing plant, and Corporate and Other activities. The corporate division earns income that is considered incidental to the Company's activities and therefore does not meet the definition of an operating segment.
(1) In the following tables it should be noted that the CODM reviews Bolivar and Porco revenues, cost of sales information, capital expenditures, total assets and total liabilities on a 100% basis whereas this financial information is recorded at 45% in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

22. SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company changed its business process and began feeding all of Reserva's ore to the San Lucas feed sourcing business instead of combining it with the other mines in the Caballo Blanco Group. The change in business process has changed the manner in which information is reviewed by the CODM and the operating segments have been updated to present the Reserva mine as part of the San Lucas Group.
Management has prepared the segmented information showing the assets, liabilities and capital expenditures of Reserva under the old basis within the Caballo Blanco Group and under the new basis within the San Lucas Group. Management was unable to present the operating results of Revenues, Mine Operating Costs and Gross profit because the necessary information is not available and the cost to develop it would be excessive. Refer to the tables below to see the information of assets, liabilities and capital expenditures prepared using the old basis and the new basis.
