Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
SILVER HAMMER MINING CORP.
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (formerly Lakewood Exploration Inc.) (the “Company”) was formed on May 2, 2017 under the laws of British Columbia and changed its name from Lakewood Exploration Inc. to Silver Hammer Mining Corp. on October 1, 2021. The address of the Company’s corporate office and its principal place of business is 206 – 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Company’s common shares were listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange on April 29, 2021, and began trading under the symbol “LWD” on May 3, 2021 (the “Listing Date”). On October 1, 2021, the trading symbol was changed to “HAMR” in association with the name change.
The Company’s principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral property assets. As at December 31, 2021, the Company holds an interest in an early-stage mineral exploration property and the Company had not yet determined whether the Company’s mineral property asset contains a deposit of minerals that is economically recoverable. The recoverability of amount shown for exploration and evaluation asset is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of and the future profitable production from the property or realizing proceeds from its disposition. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and the uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company had a deficit of $2,214,581 as of December 31, 2021 (September 30, 2021 – $1,766,365), which has been funded by the issuance of equity. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these financial statements.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations at this time.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were approved by the Board of Directors on February 25, 2022.

The carrying values of cash, deposits and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short period to maturity of those financial instruments.
As at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the financial instrument recorded at fair value on the statements of financial position is cash which is measured using Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. As at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value that would be categorized as Level 2 and 3 in the fair value hierarchy above.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Fair value (continued)
IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based upon appropriate valuation methodologies.
Financial risk management
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk includes cash.
The Company’s cash is held at a large Canadian financial institution in interest bearing accounts. The Company has no investments in asset-backed commercial paper.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of its financial assets.
Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to these financial instruments is remote. Cash based in Canada are accessible.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash balances to meet liabilities as they become due.
As at December 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $931,041 (September 30, 2021 – $1,606,841) and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $116,574 (September 30, 2021 – $274,852). All accounts payable and accrued liabilities are current.
Market risk
The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and price risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s cash is held at a Canadian chartered bank. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to cash is remote as the cash is easily accessible.
The Company’s interest rate risk principally arises from the interest rate impact of interest earned on cash. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk relating to its cash.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Financial risk management (continued)
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in CA$. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.
The Company’s cash, deposits, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are held in CA$ and US$; therefore, US$ accounts are subject to fluctuation against the CA$.
The Company’s financial instruments were denominated as follows as at December 31, 2021:
| CA$ | US$ | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | 923,651 | 5,820 |
| Deposits | 49,661 | - |
| Accountspayable and accrued liabilities | (83,686) | (25,902) |
| 889,626 | (20,082) |
|
| Rate to convert to$1.00 CAD | 1.00000 | 1.26973 |
| Equivalent to CAD | 889,626 | (25,499) |
Based on the above net exposures as at September 30, 2021, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% change of the CAD against the US would change profit or loss by approximately $2,500.
Commodity price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and development activities may be subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of commodities. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
- 20,000 warrants were exercised for proceeds of $10,000.
