All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Issuer believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements regarding any objectives and strategies of the Issuer) are forward-looking statements. Examples of such forward-looking statements in this Offering Document include the Issuer’s business plans focused on the exploration and development of the Issuer’s mineral properties; the proposed work program on the Issuer’s mineral properties; costs and timing of future exploration and development activities; timing and receipt of approvals, consents and permits under applicable legislation; use of available funds, including the proceeds of the Offering and the costs of the Offering; business objectives and milestones; and adequacy of financial resources. These forward-looking statements reflect the current expectations, assumptions or beliefs of the Issuer based on information currently available to the Issuer.
Forward-looking information is based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management made in light of its experience and its perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date that such statements are made, but which may prove to be incorrect. The material factors and assumptions used to develop the forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Document include, without limitation, the availability and final receipt of required approvals, licenses and permits, sufficient working capital, access to adequate services and supplies, economic conditions, commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, access to equity and debt markets and associated costs of funds, availability of a qualified work force, that the Issuer is able to procure equipment and supplies in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis, that engineering and exploration timetables and capital costs for the Issuer's exploration plans are not incorrectly estimated or affected by unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions, that any environmental and other proceedings or disputes are satisfactorily resolved, and that the Issuer maintains its ongoing relations with its business partners and governmental authorities.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results, performance or developments could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Although the Issuer believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.

PART 3 – USE OF AVAILABLE FUNDS
What will our available funds be upon the closing of the Offering?
| Assuming the Minimum Aggregate Offering only(1) | Assuming the Maximum Aggregate Offering(2) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Amounts to be raised by the Offering | $1,100,000 | $1,809,000 |
| B | Selling commissions and fees(3) | $77,000 | $126,630 |

Notes:
(1) Assumes subscriptions received in the Offering are the entirety of the Minimum Aggregate Offering. If the Minimum Aggregate Offering is not achieved, neither the Offering nor the Concurrent Placement will be completed, and no securities will be issued under either.
(2) Assumes subscriptions received in the Offering are the entirety of the Maximum Aggregate Offering.
(3) Assumes 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 of priority | Assuming the Minimum Aggregate Offering only | Assuming the Maximum Aggregate Offering |
|---|---|---|
| Exploration and/or drill program at the Silver Strand Project (Idaho), the Eliza Silver Project (Nevada) and the Silverton Silver Project (Nevada) | $200,000 | $200,000 |
| General working capital | $233,169 | $892,899 |
| Total: Equal to G in the Use of Available Funds table | $433,169 | $1,092,899 |
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 audited annual financial statements and unaudited interim financial statements of the Issuer 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. The available funds will not be paid to an insider, associate, or affiliate of the Issuer, except for normal course salaries or consulting fees that are currently or may be paid by the Issuer to its officers and/or directors.
How have we used the other funds we have raised in the past 12 months?
On December 16, 2024 the Issuer closed the December 2024 Private Placement, raising total gross proceeds of $168,998.50. The following table sets outs the particulars of how the Issuer used proceeds from the December 2024 Private Placement, as well as an explanation of the variances, if any, from the Issuer's anticipated use of proceeds as disclosed in documents previously filed with securities commissions or similar authorities in Canada, and the impact of any variances on the Issuer's ability to achieve its business objectives and milestones.
