(3) Assumes completion of the Minimum Concurrent Placement for gross proceeds of $1,124,402, less payment of approximately 7.0% cash commissions to eligible finders.

How will we use the available funds?
The Issuer intends to use the available funds as follows:
| Description of intended use of available funds listed in order ofpriority |
Assuming 100% of the Offering |
|---|---|
| Exploration – Idaho (Silver Strand) and Nevada (Eliza Silver and Silverton Silver) |
$565,000 |
| General and administrative | $450,000 |
| Unallocated workingcapital | $743,906 |
| Total: Equal to G in the Use of Available Funds table | $1,758,906 |
The above-noted allocation of capital and anticipated timing represents the Issuer’s current intentions based upon its present plans and business condition, which could change in the future as its plans and business conditions evolve. Although the Issuer intends to expend the proceeds from the Offering as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary and may vary materially from that set forth above, as the amounts actually allocated and spent will depend on a number of factors, including the Issuer’s ability to execute on its business plan. The Issuer has generated negative cash flows from operating activities since inception and anticipates that it will continue to have negative operating cash flow beyond the 12 months after the final Closing Date of the Offering. As a result, certain of the net proceeds from this Offering may be used to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods. See the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” section above.
The most recent unaudited interim financial statements of the Issuer for the three months ended December 31, 2023 included a going-concern note. The Issuer is still in the exploration stage and the Issuer has not yet generated positive cash flows from its operating activities, which may cast doubt on the Issuer’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Offering is intended to permit the Issuer to continue to explore its properties, and is not expected to affect the decision to include a going concern note in the next financial statements of the Issuer.
How have we used the other funds we have raised in the past 12 months?
The Issuer has not raised any funds in the past 12 months.

The Issuer may also issue to eligible finders that number of finder’s warrants equal to 7.0% of the number of Units sold under the Offering.
