Silver Elephant Mining Corp.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars except where noted)
^{}[]
1. Description of Business and Nature of Operations
Silver Elephant Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "Silver Elephant") is incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. The common shares of the Company 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.
The Company is a mineral exploration company, with interests in the following projects; (a) the Pulacayo-Paca silver-lead-zinc project in Bolivia (the "Pulacayo Paca Project"): (b) the El Triunfo gold-silver-lead-zinc project in Bolivia (the "Triunfo Project") (c) the Ulaan Ovoo coal project located in Mongolia, and (d) the Chandgana coal project, located in Mongolia. The Triunfo Project, Ulaan Ovoo coal project and the Chandgana coal project have all been fully impaired. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves (the Company has not completed the studies required to categorize any of its current resource as reserves), the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production or from proceeds of disposition. The Company's exploration and evaluation activities are not dependent on seasonality and may operate year-round; however, the Company may adjust the level of exploration and evaluation activities to manage its capital structure in light of changes in global economic conditions. To date, the Company has not received any revenue from commercial mining operations and is not in commercial production.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies that the Company will continue realizing assets and discharging liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Should the going concern assumption not continue to be appropriate, further adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities may be required.
At December 31, 2024 (the "Financial Position Date"), the Company had working capital deficiency of $728,725 (March 31, 2024 - $8,327,177) and an accumulated deficit of $231,414,249 (March 31, 2024 - $226,913,916). Accordingly, the ability of the Company to realize the carrying value of its assets and continue operations as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional debt or equity to fund ongoing costs of operations and/or secure new or additional partners in order to advance its projects. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that may arise should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and such adjustments could be material.
2. Basis Of Presentation
(a) Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the most recent annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024.

2. Basis Of Presentation - continued
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on February 12, 2025.
(b) Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in the current period.
(c) Basis of Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity where the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. Subsidiaries are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses, and profits or losses are eliminated on consolidation.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries as follows:
| Entity | Location | Ownership Interest at December 31, 2024 | Project |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apogee Minerals Bolivia SA (“Apogee Bolivia”) | Bolivia | 100% | Pulacayo Paca Project |
| ASC Bolivia LDC (“ASC Bolivia”) | Cayman | 100% | Pulacayo Paca Project |
| ASC Holdings Limited (“ASC Holdings”) | Cayman | 100% | n/a |
| Chandgana Coal LLC | Mongolia | 100% | Chandgana Project |
| Illumina Silver Bolivia S.A. | Bolivia | 100% | n/a |
| Illumina Silver Mining Corp. (“ISMC”) | Canada | 100% | Triunfo Project |
| Mega Thermal Coal Corp. (formerly Asia Mining Inc.) | Canada | 100% | n/a |
| Prophecy Power Generation LLC | Mongolia | 100% | n/a |
| Red Hill Mongolia LLC | Mongolia | 100% | Ulaan Ovoo Project |
| Empresa Minera Silver Elephant Bolivia S.A. | Bolivia | 100% | n/a |
| UGL Enterprises LLC | Mongolia | 100% | Ulaan Ovoo Project |
| Oracle Commodity Holding Corp. (“Oracle”) | Canada | 35% | n/a |

2. Basis Of Presentation – continued
De facto control exists in circumstances when an entity owns less than 50% voting rights in another entity but has control for reasons other than voting rights or contractual and other statutory means. These consolidated financial statements include the results of Oracle, CleanTech Vanadium Mining Corp. (formerly Flying Nickel Mining Corp.) ("CleanTech" or "Flying Nickel") and Nevada Vanadium Mining Corp. ("Nevada Vanadium") and its subsidiaries, as applicable, as management has determined that the Company has or had de facto control over these entities as the Company has the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of these entities for certain periods presented.
As at the date of the Spin-off Arrangement (note 17), the Company had a 40% ownership interest in Oracle. As at the Financial Position Date, this ownership interest decreased to 35%. The Company has de facto control over Oracle since the Company has: 1) power over Oracle, 2) exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with Oracle, and 3) the ability to use its power over Oracle to affect the amount of its returns from Oracle. As a result, the Company consolidates the accounts of Oracle in its consolidated financial statements, which also included the accounts of Nevada Vanadium (and its subsidiaries), and CleanTech for certain periods.
As at the date of the Spin-off Arrangement, Oracle had a 41% ownership interest in CleanTech and a 46% ownership interest in Nevada Vanadium. Oracle ceased to have de facto control over CleanTech as at October 1, 2023, therefore CleanTech and its Minago Project were deconsolidated from the Company's financial statements effective October 1, 2023 (note 9). On August 16, 2024, CleanTech acquired Nevada Vanadium (note 17e).
(d) Significant Judgments 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.

2. Basis Of Presentation – continued
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 (note 2(c)).
Areas of significant judgment and estimates made by management for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, in the application of IFRS that have a significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the current and following fiscal years are discussed in note 2(c) of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024.
3. Material Accounting Policy Information
(a) 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.
(b) 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.

Pulacayo Paca Project, Bolivia
The Company is predominantly focused on the development of the Pulacayo Paca Project in Southwestern Bolivia.
The Pulacayo Paca Project is made up of eight concessions in total: one concession held directly by the Company which covers 750 hectares (the "Apurudita Area") of the Paca Pulacayo Project Area and seven concessions covering 2,803 hectares (the "MPC Area") held through a Mining Production Contract ("MPC") dated October 3, 2019 with the Corporacion Minera de Bolivia ("Comibol").
In December 2024, the Company received a notice of cancellation (the "Notice of Cancellation") of the MPC from Comibol citing alleged illegal mining. The Company maintains that it has operated in full compliance under the MPC and received proper authorizations for its activities in the MPC Area. The Company remains committed to the development path for the Pulacayo-Paca Project and has filed certain applications and appeals in Bolivia to reverse the Notice of Cancellation. The Notice of Cancellation does not affect the Apurudita Area.

- Exploration and Evaluation Assets – continued
The MPC was executed on October 3, 2019 between a Silver Elephant Bolivian subsidiary and Comibol. The MPC, which remained subject to ratification from the Bolivian congress, granted the Company's subsidiary an exclusive right to develop and mine at certain Comibol concessions located in the MPC Area for up to 30 years.
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, 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 $6,758,500 (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) $2,155,950 (US$1,500,000) in cash and non-refundable before January 31, 2025; and
(d) $718,650 (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 $1,437,300 (US$1,000,000) in cash (the "First Additional Consideration"); 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 $1,437,300 (US$1,000,000) in cash;
provided that the Additional Consideration is subject to a $2,874,600 (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.
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) $1,006,110 (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 $718,650 (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.
On December 30, 2024, the Company terminated the MSA and SPA (the "MSA and SPA Termination") as a result of APM Group's failure to pay the First Additional Consideration. The First Additional Consideration became due once the London Bullion Market Association silver spot price averaged over US$28 per oz for the previous 260 trading-day interval. The Company maintains that the First Additional Consideration is payable and is pursuing appropriate recourse.
Triunfo Project, Bolivia
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 $1,437,300 (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 $135,676 (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 $71,865 (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 $431,190 (US$300,000);
- the Residual Interest may be reduced by 4% for $359,325 (US$250,000);
- the Residual Interest may be reduced by 3% for $287,460 (US$200,000);
- the Residual Interest may be reduced by 2% for $215,595 (US$150,000); or
- the Residual Interest may be reduced by 1% for $143,730 (US$100,000).

Minago Project, Manitoba Canada
The Minago property is located in northern Manitoba, Canada within the southern part of the Thompson Nickel Belt, approximately 107 kilometers north of the Town of Grand Rapids, Manitoba and 225 kilometres south of the City of Thompson, Manitoba. Provincial Highway 6 transects the eastern portion of the Minago property. The Minago Project is comprised of 94 mining claims and two mining leases.
On October 1, 2023, the Minago Project was deconsolidated from the Company's consolidated financial statements (note 9).
Gibellini Project, USA
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 September 18, 2020, the company completed the acquisition of the Bisoni vanadium property situated immediately southwest of the Gibellini Project pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the "Bisoni APA") dated August 18, 2020, with Cellcube Energy Storage Systems Inc. ("Cellcube"). The Bisoni property comprised of 201 lode mining claims. As consideration for the acquisition of the Bisoni property under the Bisoni APA, the Company issued 4 million Common Shares (the "Bisoni APA Shares") and paid $200,000 cash to Cellcube. Additionally, subject to TSX approval, if, on or before December 31, 2023, the price of European vanadium pentoxide on the Metal Bulletin (or an equivalent publication) exceeds US$12.00 a pound for 30 consecutive days, the Company will issue to Cellcube additional common shares with a value of $500,000 calculated based upon the 5-day volume weighted average price of the common shares immediately following the satisfaction of the vanadium pentoxide pricing condition (the "Bisoni Condition"). The Gibellini Project and its obligations were transferred to Nevada Vanadium on January 14, 2022 as a result of the Spin-off Arrangement. The Bisoni condition was potentially met on April 5, 2022, and derivative liabilities of $500,000 was recognized (the "Bisoni Liability") by Nevada Vanadium.
On August 16, 2024, the Gibellini Project along with the Bisoni Liability was deconsolidated from the Company's consolidated financial statements (note 17e).
9. Investment in CleanTech Vanadium Mining Corp.
As a result of the Spin-off Arrangement (note 17), the Company consolidated CleanTech from January 14, 2022 to September 30, 2023, the period for which the Company had de facto control over CleanTech. Effective October 1, 2023, the Company deconsolidated CleanTech as de facto control was lost due to dilution. However, as the Company still maintains significant influence over CleanTech, it has applied the equity method of accounting for CleanTech. The Company has significant influence over CleanTech as a result of having the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of CleanTech but does not have control or joint control.
The Company recorded the carrying value of its investment in CleanTech at its fair value of $1,657,229, resulting in a loss from deconsolidation of $1,373,090. The fair value of the Company's investment in CleanTech is determined based on share price of CleanTech on October 12, 2023.

¹ On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ED/2014/4. The cumulative catch-up resulted in the recognition of an additional loss of $3,517,132 from the deconsolidation of CleanTech during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The original gain from the deconsolidation of CleanTech of $2,144,042 was therefore adjusted to $1,373,090.
On October 30, 2024 CleanTech sold its Minago Project to Norway House Cree Nation ("NHCN") for (i) $8,000,000 in cash; (ii) the surrender of 17,561,862 CleanTech common shares owned by NHCN; and (iii) reimbursement in cash of claims maintenance fees up to a maximum of $60,000 incurred by the CleanTech in respect of the Minago Project. As a result and as at October 30, 2024, the Company owned approximately 32% of the common shares of CleanTech.
As at December 31, 2024, the Company owned approximately 32% (March 31, 2024 - 21%) of the common shares of CleanTech.
CleanTech had no contingent liabilities or capital commitments as at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

10. Royalty Interests
On January 14, 2022, under the terms of the Spin-off Arrangement (note 17), Oracle acquired certain mineral property net smelter royalty agreements ("Transferred Royalties"). No value was attributed to these royalties at the time.
The Transferred Royalties included the following:
(a) Titan Royalty Agreement
Oracle will receive a two per cent (2%) royalty on all mineral products produced from certain mineral claims and leases in Manitoba relating to Silver Elephant's former Titan project after the commencement of commercial production if the V205 Vanadium Pentoxide Flake 98% price per pound exceeds US$12.00.
On August 4, 2023, Silver Elephant assigned its Titan Project to which the Titan Royalty Agreement relates to, to a third party.
On August 4, 2023, Oracle granted to a third party, the right to acquire the Titan NSR at any time, for $1,000,000 in cash. The third party paid Oracle $5,000 as consideration for this right.
(b) Minago Royalty Agreement
Oracle will receive a two per cent (2%) royalty on all mineral products produced from certain mineral claims and leases from the Minago Project in Manitoba after the commencement of commercial production if the average price per pound of nickel exceeds US$15.
(c) Gibellini Royalty Agreement
The Gibellini Project is located near Eureka in Nevada's Battle Mountain region. The Gibellini Project is made up of 547 unpatented lode claims held directly by Cleantech (the "Gibellini Claim Area") and 40 unpatented lode claims held through a long-term lease agreement (the "Gibellini Lease Area"). The Gibellini Project hosts three separate vanadium deposits each with a 43-101 compliant resource estimate.
The Gibellini Claim Area is subject to a royalty payable to Oracle. Cleantech is to pay, among other things, in each fiscal quarter where the average price per pound of V205 Vanadium Pentoxide Flake 98% as reported on the nominated metals exchange exceeds US$12, a royalty equal to 2% of returns in respect of all mineral products produced from the Gibellini Claim Area after the commencement of commercial production.
The Gibellini Lease Area also subject a second royalty payable to Oracle on substantially the same terms as the Gibellini Claim Area Royalty and together with the Gibellini Claim Area Royalty.

The properties in which the Company currently holds interests are predominantly in the exploration and development stage with some early stage production at the Paca Project; 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 nine months ended December 31, 2024. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

(b) Fair Value
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, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due from 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 liabilities 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 liabilities is $5,434 (March 31, 2024 - $72,000), 2) contingent liability is $nil (March 31, 2024 - $157,463), and 3) promissory note is $nil (March 31, 2024 - $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 nine months ended December 31, 2024.
24. Financial Risk Management
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 $1,224,784 (March 31, 2024 – $2,209,099) and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,930,346 (March 31, 2024 - $3,672,760). Liquidity risk is assessed as high.

24. Financial Risk Management - continued
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.
(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 non-current 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 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 CleanTech has a corresponding effect of approximately $4,000 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 and accounts payables 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 (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the Mongolian Tugrik would impact net loss and comprehensive loss with other variables unchanged by approximately $12,000. 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 $57,000. A 10% strengthening (weakening) of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by approximately $1,000. The Company currently does not use any foreign exchange contracts to hedge this currency risk.
25. Contingencies
On September 11, 2024, the Company received a tax notice of assessment of $26,805,028 (63,787,924,960 Mongolian Tugriks) (the “Ulaan Ovoo Tax Assessment”) from Mongolia’s Head of General Department of Taxation in connection with the Company’s transfer of certain licenses of Ulaan Ovoo (the “Ulaan Ovoo License Transfer”) from one wholly owned subsidiary to another wholly owned subsidiary. The Ulaan Ovoo License Transfer was completed on January 5, 2022. Prior to the completion of the Ulaan Ovoo License Transfer, the Company sought tax clarifications and on October 11, 2021 received confirmation from Mongolia’s Large Taxpayer’s Office confirming the Ulaan Ovoo License Transfer would not be subject to income tax as the ultimate owner of the subsidiaries affected by the Ulaan Ovoo License Transfer remain unchanged. Accordingly, the Company filed a dispute for this tax notice of assessment on October 18, 2024. The Company evaluated the applicable IFRS’ for the accounting treatment of the Ulaan Ovoo Tax Assessment, including IAS 12 – Income Taxes, IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments, IFRS 21 Levies and IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. No provision has been recorded for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024.
26. Subsequent Events
On January 27, 2025, the Company closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement offering raising gross proceeds of $330,000 through the issuance sale of 2,200,000 units at a price of $0.15 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of three years from issuance. In connection with the closing, 119,000 units were issued as finders’ fees.
