Profile and Strategy

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. The common shares without par value in the capital of the Company (the “Common Shares”) are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “ELEF” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “1P2” and are quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “SILEF”. The Company maintains its registered and records office at Suite 1610 – 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1T2.

On January 14, 2022, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of one (1) new Common Share for each ten (10) old Common Shares (the “Consolidation”). All Common Share, warrant, option and per Common Share amounts have been retroactively adjusted.

On January 14, 2022, the Company completed a strategic reorganization of the Company’s business through a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Spin-off Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), dated November 8, 2021. Pursuant to the Spin-off Arrangement, the common shares of the Company were consolidated on a 10:1 basis and each holder of common shares of the Company received in exchange for every 10 pre-consolidation common shares held: (i) one post-consolidation common share of the Company; (ii) one common share of Flying Nickel Mining Corp. (“Flying Nickel”); (iii) one common share of Nevada Vanadium Mining Corp. (“Nevada Vanadium”); and (iv) two common shares of Oracle Commodity Holding Inc. (“Oracle”) (formerly Battery Metals Royalties Corp. (“Battery Metals”)).

The Company is a mineral exploration stage company. The Company's projects are the Pulacayo Paca silver-lead-zinc property in Bolivia (the "Pulacayo Paca Project"), and the El Triunfo gold-silver-lead-zinc project in Bolivia (the “Triunfo Project”). In addition, as the Company has de facto control over Nevada Vanadium, by extension, the Gibellini vanadium property in Nevada, USA (the “Gibellini Project”) is also included in the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets. The Company also had de facto control over Flying Nickel, by extension, the Minago nickel property in Canada (the “Minago Project”) was also included in the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets. The Company ceased to have de facto control over Flying Nickel as at October 1, 2023, therefore Flying Nickel and its Minago Project were deconsolidated from the Company’s consolidated financial statements effective October 1, 2023 (the “Flying Nickel Deconsolidation”). The Company also owns or holds 100% interests in each of the following projects: (a) the Ulaan Ovoo coal project located in Mongolia (the “Ulaan Ovoo Project”), and (b) the Chandgana coal project, located in Mongolia; all of which have been fully impaired.

Discussion Of Operations

Pulacayo Paca Project, Bolivia

The Company holds an interest in the Pulacayo Paca silver-lead-zinc project in Bolivia.

The Pulacayo Paca Project comprises seven mining concessions covering an area of approximately 3,560 hectares of contiguous areas centered on the historical Pulacayo mine and town site. The Pulacayo Paca Project is located 18 kilometers east of the town of Uyuni in the Department of Potosí, in southwestern Bolivia. It is located 460 kilometers south-southeast of the national capital of La Paz and 150 kilometers southwest of the City of Potosí, which is the administrative capital of the department. The Pulacayo Paca Project is fully permitted with secured social licenses for mining.

The Company’s 2024 Pulacayo Paca Project objectives are:

  • Complete a 3D geological model incorporating collected metadata;

  • Design a drill program to test high priority targets identified through modeling and IP mapping; and

  • Advance permitting for potential mining exploitation on the property.

Master Services Agreement and Sales and Purchase Agreement

On September 11, 2023, the Company entered into a sales and purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Andean Precious Metals Corp. (“APM”) and its subsidiary (together “APM Group”), for the sale of up to 800,000 tonnes (the “SPA Quantity”) of silver-bearing oxide materials from the Company’s Paca property (“Paca”), which, together with the Pulacayo property, comprises the Pulacayo Paca Project. In addition, the Company entered into a master services agreement (the “MSA”) with APM Group to provide expertise in mining operations, community relations, logistics and access to technical and geological information, in exchange for APM Group agreeing to pay the Company an aggregate of $6,840,000 (US$5,000,000) (the MSA Payments”) as follows:

  • (a) $1,636,632 (US$1,200,000) in cash and non-refundable on signing of the MSA (received);

  • (b) $2,448,153 (US$1,800,000) in cash and non-refundable by January 31, 2024 (amended as noted below) (the "Second Payment”) (received);

  • (c) $2,052,000 (US$1,500,000) in cash and non-refundable before January 31, 2025; and

Silver Elephant Mining Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian dollars, except where indicated)

==> picture [46 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

(d) $684,000 (US$500,000) in cash and non-refundable by January 31, 2026 (the “Final MSA Payment”).

In addition to the cash consideration, if the London Bullion Market Association silver spot price averages over (the “Additional Consideration”):

  • (a) US$28/oz in any given 260 trading day-interval during the term, then APM Group will pay Silver Elephant a one-time payment of $1,368,000 (US$1,000,000) in cash; and

  • (b) US$32/oz in any given 150 trading day-interval during the term, then APM Group shall pay Silver Elephant a one-time payment of $1,368,000 (US$1,000,000) in cash;

provided that the Additional Consideration is subject to a $2,736,000 (US$2,000,000) maximum in aggregate, and once any payment described under (a) or (b) above is made, the applicable trading day-interval resets to zero to determine whether Additional Consideration is payable.

The MSA also serves to provide comfort to the APM Group to receive the 800,000 tonnes of silver-bearing oxide materials from the Company.

On January 30, 2024, the parties amended the MSA to: (1) extend the date for completion of certain permitting and other contractual milestones in respect of the Pulacayo Paca Project pursuant to which the APM Group paid a non-refundable extension fee of $201,573 (US$150,000) (the “MSA Extension Fee”) to the Company; and, (2) to modify the second payment of $2,448,153 (US$1,800,000) under the MSA to provide for it to be payable in two equal installments, the first of $1,213,497 (US$900,000) received on March 7, 2024 and the second $1,234,656 (US$900,000) received on May 1, 2024, in order for APM Group to proceed with additional purchases of threshold tonnage under the MSA as amended. APM Group has the right to offset the MSA Extension Fee from the Final MSA Payment.

Under the MSA, if the Company fails to comply with certain service commitments and not cured within a certain period, the Company will pay to APM a penalty that is the greater of:

  • (a) $957,600 (US$700,000) in cash, and subject to the approval and policies of the TSX, shares (or cash at the Company’s discretion) of the Company with a value of $684,000 (US$500,000) as determined in accordance with the MSA; or

  • (b) the positive difference, if any, between 1.2 times the MSA Payments received by the Company and US$12.00 (US$15.00 if the average London Bullion Market Association silver spot price exceeds US$26/oz from the start of the term of the MSA to the conclusion of the MSA) multiplied by the aggregate tonnage of products that have been acquired by APM Group under the SPA.

In connection with the MSA, shares of ISMC, Apogee Bolivia, ASC Bolivia and ASC Holdings are held in escrow. These shares will be released upon the earlier of:

  • (a) the escrow agent receiving a joint written notice from Silver Elephant and APM; or

  • (b) the escrow agent receives a written direction or decision of a duly appointed arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction in each case pursuant to the dispute resolution mechanisms provided for in the MSA directing the escrow agent to release the shares.

As at June 30, 2024, the Company has delivered 127,097 tonnes to APM Group under the SPA.

The Gibellini vanadium project (the “Gibellini Project”) is comprised of the Gibellini, Bisoni and Louie Hill vanadium deposits and associated claims located in the State of Nevada, USA.

On April 6, 2022, Nevada Vanadium acquired the Fish Creek Ranch property (the “Fish Creek Ranch” or “FCR”) located in Eureka County, Nevada USA for an aggregate purchase price of $5,291,641 (US$4,245,895). The Fish Creek Ranch is adjacent to the Gibellini Project, contains a part of the irrigation canal, and will provide support to the Gibellini Project in the form of water supply.

Triunfo Project, Bolivia

The Triunfo Project area covers approximately 256 hectares located in the La Paz Department, which is located about 75 kilometers to the east of the city of La Paz, Bolivia. The Triunfo Project has access to power and water and is accessible by road year-round. The Triunfo Vendor maintains a positive relationship with the local community.

On July 10, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Triunfo Agreement”) with a third party (the “Triunfo Vendor”) for the right to conduct mining exploration activities (the “Exploration Right”) within the El Triunfo gold-silver-lead-zinc project in La Paz District, Bolivia (the “Triunfo Project”) and the right, at the Company’s election, to purchase the Triunfo Project for $1,368,000 (US$1,000,000) (the “Purchase Right” and together with the Exploration Right, the “Triunfo Rights”). The Purchase Right can be exercised at any time after the Triunfo Vendor completes the required Bolivian administrative procedures for the Triunfo Project until July 13, 2025 or such further period as the parties may agree. To secure the Triunfo Rights, the Company paid the Triunfo Vendor $136,800 (US$100,000) upon execution of the Triunfo Agreement. Until the Company exercises its Purchase Right, beginning in 2021 the Company must pay the Triunfo Vendor $68,400 (US$50,000) on June 15 of each year to maintain the Triunfo Rights. The Company may elect to terminate the Triunfo Agreement at any time. If the Company exercises the Purchase Right, the Triunfo Vendor will maintain up to a 5% interest of the profits, net of taxes and royalties, derived from the sale of concentrate produced from the Triunfo Project (the “Residual Interest”).

If the Company exercises the Purchase Right, the Company may reduce some or all of the Residual Interest at any time by making a lump sum payment to the Triunfo Vendor at any time to reduce some or all of the Residual Interest as follows:

  • the Residual Interest may be extinguished for $410,400 (US$300,000);

  • the Residual Interest may be reduced by 4% for $342,000 (US$250,000);

  • the Residual Interest may be reduced by 3% for $273,600 (US$200,000);

  • the Residual Interest may be reduced by 2% for $205,200 (US$150,000); or

  • the Residual Interest may be reduced by 1% for $136,800 (US$100,000).

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,235,460 related to the Triunfo Project. As at the Financial Position Date, the Triunfo Project was impaired to $1.

All convertible securities of Nevada Vanadium outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Transaction will be exchanged for securities of Flying Nickel bearing substantially the same terms as the securities replaced based on the Exchange Ratio.

The Merger Transaction was approved by the shareholders of Nevada Vanadium and Flying Nickel at the annual general and special meeting of each of the companies, held on July 23, 2024. Closing of the Merger Transaction remains subject to satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of final court, stock exchange and regulatory approvals.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Estimates and assumptions used by management where there is risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the estimated useful lives of depreciated and amortized assets, and exploration and evaluation assets, assumptions used in determination of the fair value of share-based payments, decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities and contingent liabilities.

The Company assesses its mineral properties’ rehabilitation provision at each reporting date or when new material information becomes available. Exploration, development and mining activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. In general, these laws and regulations are continually changing, and the Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Accounting for reclamation obligations requires management to make estimates of the future costs that the Company will incur to complete the reclamation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations at each location. Actual costs incurred may differ from those amounts estimated.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in preparing the Company’s financial statements include the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and whether the Company has significant influence over other entities, classification of expenditures as exploration and evaluation expenditures or operating expenses, the classification of financial instruments and determining de facto control.

Changes in Accounting Standards

Changes in Accounting Policies

Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (amendments to IAS 1)

The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping entities determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current.

The amendments are applied on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted. The amendments were implemented by the Company effective April 1, 2024 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Future Changes in Accounting Standards

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”) , the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:

  • the structure of the statement of profit or loss;

  • required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements; and

  • enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general.

IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1; many of the other existing principles in IAS 1 are retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, but it might change what an entity reports as its ‘operating profit or loss’. IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and also applies to comparative information.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements.

Certain accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Capital Management

Management considers its capital structure to consist of share capital, share purchase options and warrants. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to, and required by the Company in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration and evaluation assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative returns on capital criteria for management. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors.

The properties in which the Company currently holds interests are in the exploration stage; as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out exploration and development plans and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. There were no changes in management’s approach to capital management during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means; and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based upon appropriate valuation methodologies. As at the Financial Position Date, there were no financial assets measured and recognized in the statement of position that would be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy above.

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximates their carrying value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Restricted cash equivalents included in other non-current assets is readily convertible into cash, and therefore its carrying value approximates fair value. The fair values of the Company’s interest-bearing promissory note is determined by using the DCF method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The non-performance risk as at the Financial Position Date was assessed to be insignificant. Derivative assets, derivative liabilities and contingent liability are recorded at fair value based on the quoted market price at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair value through profit or loss. As at the Financial Position Date, the fair value of: 1) derivative assets is $14,336 (March 31, 2024 - $nil) 2) derivative liabilities is $100,800 (March 31, 2024 - $72,000), 2) contingent liability is $220,450 (March 31, 2024 - $157,463), and 3) promissory note is $3,736,567 (March 31, 2023 - $3,985,681). The Company does not offset financial assets with financial liabilities. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments at the Financial Position Date are summarized below. The Board of Directors periodically reviews with management the principal risks affecting the Company and the systems that have been put in place to manage these 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 the Financial Position Date, the Company had a cash balance of $678,550 (March 31, 2024 – $2,209,099) and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3,196,635 (March 31, 2024 - $3,672,760). Liquidity risk is assessed as very high.

The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support normal operation requirements as well as the growth and development of its mineral property interests. The Company coordinates this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through the capital management process in normal circumstances.

==> picture [46 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

(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 with cash, restricted cash equivalents included in other noncurrent assets and receivables, net of allowances. The carrying amount of financial assets included on the statements of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure.

(c) Market risk

(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 included in other non-current assets 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 the Financial Position Date. The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an investment policy that focuses primarily on preservation of capital and liquidity

(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 foreign exploration and development projects in the USA, 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 reporting currency, the Canadian dollar.

(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 earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market

(iv) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company’s derivative financial liability includes debts to be settled in common shares of Silver Elephant. A 10% increase or decrease in the market price of common shares of Silver Elephant or Flying Nickel has a corresponding effect of approximately $32,000 to net loss.

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.

Sensitivity Analysis

A 1% change in interest rates does not have a material effect on the Company’s profit or loss and equity.

The Company has certain cash balances, receivables, derivative assets, accounts payables and the CVB Loan denominated in either the US Dollar, Mongolian Tugrik or Bolivian Boliviano (the “Foreign Currencies”), currencies other than the functional currency of Company. Based on the above, net exposures as at the Financial Position Date, with other variables unchanged, a 10% strengthening

13

Silver Elephant Mining Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian dollars, except where indicated)

==> picture [46 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

(weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the Mongolian Tugrik would impact net loss and comprehensive loss with other variables unchanged by approximately $15,000. A 10% strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the Bolivian Boliviano would impact net loss and comprehensive loss with other variables unchanged by approximately $51,000. A 10% strengthening (weakening) of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by approximately $468,000. The Company currently does not use any foreign exchange contracts to hedge this currency risk.

  • Emerging risks, as described below.

An emerging risk is a risk not well understood at the current time and for which the impacts on strategy and financial results are difficult to assess or are in the process of being assessed.

Capital Resources

As an exploration company, the Company 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. 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 with favourable terms, or at all, 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.

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 operations based on annual budgets approved by the Company's board of directors, consistent with established internal control guidelines, and programs recommended in certain technical reports. The Company has managed its working capital by controlling its spending on its properties and operations. Due to the ongoing planned advancement of Pulacayo Paca Project milestones, the Company will continue to incur costs associated with exploration, evaluation and development activities, while no revenues are being generated.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures (“DC&P”)

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company 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 (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s CEO and CFO (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate DC&P. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Certifying Officers, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of its DC&P in accordance with requirements of National Instrument 52-109 (“NI 52-109”). As of March 31, 2024, based on the evaluation, the Company’s Certifying Officers concluded that the Company’s DC&P were effective.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”)

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 the Company; 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 evaluated the effectiveness of its ICFR as of March 31, 2024 based on the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the evaluation, the Company’s Certifying Officers concluded that the Company’s ICFR was effective as of March 31, 2024.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the current quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, 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.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this MD&A constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of United States securities laws and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian securities laws and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors provided by such regulations (such forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are collectively referred to herein as "forward-looking statements"). These forward-looking statements concern anticipated developments in the Company’s continuing and future operations in the United States, Canada, Bolivia and Mongolia, and the adequacy of the Company’s financial resources and financial projections.

Forward-looking statements in this MD&A are frequently, but not always, identified by words such as "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "believes", "estimates", "potentially" or similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions or results "will", "may", "would", "could" or "should" occur or are "to be" achieved, and statements related to matters which are not historical facts. Information concerning management's expectations regarding the Company's future growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities may also be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as such information constitutes predictions based on certain factors, estimates and assumptions subject to significant business, economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies, and involve known and unknown risks which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements to be different from future results, performance, or achievements contained in the forward- looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include but are not limited to statements regarding the Company's planned and future exploration and/or development of any of the Company’s projects; permitting and feasibility any of the Company’s projects; ability to complete the Merger Transaction and on a timely basis; political instability and social unrest in Bolivia and other jurisdictions where the Company operates; the Company's goals regarding exploration, and development of, and production from its projects, and regarding raising capital and conducting further exploration and developments of its properties; approval by regulatory authorities and over-the-counter markets of filings or applications; the Company's future business plans; the Company's future financial and operating performance; the future price of silver, lead, zinc, vanadium and other metals; expectations regarding any environmental issues that may affect planned or future exploration and development programs and the potential impact of complying with existing and proposed environmental laws and regulations; the ability to obtain or maintain any required permits, licenses or other necessary approvals for the exploration or development of the Company's projects; government regulation of mineral exploration and development operations in Bolivia and other relevant jurisdictions; the Company's reliance on key management personnel, advisors and consultants; the volatility of global financial markets; the timing and amount of estimated future operating and exploration expenditures; the costs and timing of the development of new deposits; the continuation of the Company as a going concern; the likelihood of securing project financing; the

impacts of changes in the legal and regulatory environment in which the Company operates; the timing and possible outcome of any pending litigation and regulatory matters; and other information concerning possible or assumed future results of the Company's operations, including: estimated future coal production at any of the Company’s coal properties, and other information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Company.

Statements relating to mineral resources are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the mineral resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and may be profitably produced in the future. Estimated values of future net revenue do not represent fair market value. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the mineral resources.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions of management at the date the statements are made including, among other things, the following: timely receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals (including licenses and permits) for the development, construction and production of the Company's properties and projects; there being no significant disruptions affecting operations, whether due to labour disruptions, COVID 19 or other causes; currency exchange rates being approximately consistent with current levels; certain price assumptions for silver, lead, zinc, vanadium and other metals; prices for and availability of fuel and electricity; parts and equipment and other key supplies remaining consistent with current levels and prices; production forecasts meeting expectations; the accuracy of the Company's current mineral resource estimates and of any metallurgical testing completed to date; labour and materials costs increasing on a basis consistent with the Company's current expectations; any additional required financing being available on reasonable terms; market developments and trends in global supply and demand for silver, lead, zinc, nickel, vanadium and other metals meeting expectations; favourable operating conditions; political stability; access to necessary financing; stability of labour markets and in market conditions in general; and estimates of costs and expenditures to complete the Company's programs. The Company has no assurance that any of these assumptions will prove to be correct.

Many of these assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, social, economic, political, regulatory, competitive and other risks and uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors that are not within the control of the Company and could thus cause actual performance, achievements, actions, events, results or conditions to be materially different from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, whether expressed or implied. Such factors include, among others, the following: the Company is an exploration stage company; the cost, timing and amount of estimated future capital, operating exploration, acquisition, development and reclamation activities; the volatility of the market price of the Common Shares; judgment of management when exercising discretion in the use of proceeds from offerings of securities; sales of a significant number of Common Shares in the public markets, or the perception of such sales, could depress the market price of the Common Shares; potential dilution with the issuance of additional Common Shares; none of the properties in which the Company has a material interest have mineral reserves; estimates of mineral resources are based on interpretation and assumptions and are inherently imprecise; the Company has not received any material revenue or net profit to date; exploration, development and production risks; no history of profitable mineral production; actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns may differ significantly from those the Company has anticipated; foreign operations and political condition risks and uncertainties; legal and political risk; amendments to local laws; the ability to obtain, maintain or renew underlying licenses and permits; title to mineral properties; environmental risks; competitive conditions in the mineral exploration and mining business; availability of adequate infrastructure; the ability of the Company to retain its key management and employees and the impact of shortages of skilled personnel and contractors; limits of insurance coverage and uninsurable risk; reliance on third party contractors; the availability of additional financing on reasonable terms or at all; foreign exchange risk; impact of anti-corruption legislation; recent global financial conditions; changes to the Company's dividend policy; conflicts of interest; cyber security risks; litigation and regulatory proceedings; the obligations which the Company must satisfy in order to maintain its interests in its properties; the influence of third-party stakeholders; the Company's relationships with the communities in which it operates; human error; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development in general, including the risk of diminishing quantities or grades of mineralization; and other risks and the factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the AIF and in analogous disclosure in other disclosure documents of the Company available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The foregoing list is not exhaustive and additional factors may affect any of the Company's forward-looking statements. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual performance, achievements, actions, events, results or conditions to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause performance, achievements, actions, events, results or conditions to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.

These forward-looking statements, may involve, but are not limited to, statements with respect to future events or future performance, the general performance of the assets of the Company, and the results of exploration, development and production activities as well as expansions projects relating to the properties of the Company. Such forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s expectations regarding the Company’s future growth, results of operations, performance, and business prospects and opportunities, are based on certain factors and assumptions, including, without limitation, management’s perceptions of historical trends; current conditions; expected future developments; the ongoing operation of the properties of the Company; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; no adverse development in respect of any significant property of the Company; the accuracy of expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this MD&A and the Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
