SILVER HAMMER MINING CORP. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was formed on May 2, 2017 under the laws of British Columbia. 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 are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “HAMR”.
The Company’s principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral property assets. As at December 31, 2023, the Company holds an interest in early-stage mineral exploration properties located in United States 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 $6,068,281 as of December 31, 2023 (September 30, 2023 – $5,766,395), 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. While the Company has been successful in obtaining financing in the past, there is no assurance that such financing will continue to be available or be available on favorable terms in the future. An inability to raise additional financing may impact the future assessment of the Company as a going concern. In the event that additional financial support is not received or operating profits are not generated, the carrying values of the Company’s assets may be adversely affected. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Proposed Transaction
On September 27, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire a 100% interest in the Shafter silver property (the “Shafter Project”), located in Presidio County in Southwest Texas, from Aurcana Silver Corporation (“Aurcana”) (the “Proposed Transaction”).
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company will first complete a reorganization (the “Reorganization”) whereby all of the Company’s outstanding common shares will be acquired by a newly incorporated company, Silver Hammer Metals Corp. (“Newco”), and shareholders of the Company will receive common shares of Newco (“Newco Shares”) in exchange for common shares of the Company. Newco will then acquire all of the outstanding common shares in the capital of Rio Grande Mining Corporation (“Rio Grande”), a subsidiary of Aurcana that owns the assets, property, rights and undertakings of and relating to the Shafter Project (the “Shafter Acquisition”). The Reorganization is expected to be implemented by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Plan of Arrangement”), which will result in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newco. Under the Plan of Arrangement, each common share of the Company will be exchanged for one Newco Share and the convertible securities of the Company will become exercisable for securities of Newco on an equivalent basis. The Reorganization is subject to approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the shareholders of the Company.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Proposed Transaction (continued)
On closing of the Proposed Transaction, in consideration for the shares of Rio Grande, Aurcana will receive a cash payment of US$800,000 (less certain exclusivity fees and prepaid expenses) and 23,000,000 Newco Shares at a price of $0.25 per Newco Share. In addition, upon the completion of the next equity financing completed by Newco following the closing of the Proposed Transaction, Aurcana will receive an additional cash payment of US$375,000. Aurcana may also receive additional post-closing payments, payable in cash or shares, subject to the achievement of certain milestones within 48 months of closing of the Shafter Acquisition in the aggregate amount of up to US$3,000,0000, as follows:
-
a) up to US$1,000,000 will be payable in connection with the first public announcement of a new mineral resource estimate on the Shafter Project which includes measured and indicated mineral resources of at least 18 million ounces as follows:
-
i. US$500,000 will be payable if the updated mineral resource estimate includes measured and indicated mineral resources, as defined under the Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards, of at least 18,000,000 ounces of silver; and
-
ii. a further US$500,000 will be payable if the updated mineral resource estimate includes measured and indicated mineral resources, as defined under the CIM Standards, of at least 22,000,000 ounces of silver,
-
b) US$1,000,000 will be payable upon the Shafter Project entering commercial production,
-
c) US$500,000 will be payable if the spot price of silver is equal to or greater than US$30 per ounce for a period of 60 consecutive days, and
-
d) an additional US$500,000 will be payable if both (b) and (c), above, are met.
Newco has also entered into an agreement with noteholders of Rio Grande to settle certain outstanding debt of Rio Grande in connection with the Shafter Acquisition (the “Debt Settlement”). Pursuant to the Debt Settlement, Newco will acquire all of the outstanding notes of Rio Grande in the aggregate principal amount of $6,517,662 (the “Rio Grande Notes”) in consideration for:
-
a) an aggregate of 4,000 debenture units of Newco, each consisting of one $1,000 principal amount secured convertible debenture of Newco, representing $4,000,000 in total (the “Debentures”), and 2,000 common share purchase warrants of Newco (the “Newco Warrants”),
-
b) an aggregate of 8,000,000 units of Newco, each consisting of one Newco Share and one-half of a Newco Warrant, and
-
c) additional securities of Newco on the same terms as the Concurrent Financing (as described below) in settlement of all interest accrued on the Rio Grande Notes from August 31, 2023 to the closing date of the Proposed Transaction.
The Debentures will be convertible into Newco Shares at the conversion price of $0.25 per Newco Share and each Newco Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Newco Share at the exercise price of $0.33 per Newco Share for a period of 24 months from closing.
In connection with the Shafter Acquisition and pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company will arrange concurrent equity financing for minimum gross proceeds of $3,000,000 (the “Concurrent Financing”).

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair value
Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: FVTPL, amortized cost and FVTOCI.
Set out below are the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by category:
| December 31, 2023 $ |
FVTPL Amortized costs FVTOCI $ $ $ |
|---|---|
| FINANCIAL ASSETS | |
| ASSETS | |
| Cash 308,909 |

| FINANCIAL LIABILITIES | |
| LIABILITIES | |
| Accountspayable and accrued liabilities (528,283) |

| FINANCIAL LIABILITIES | |
| LIABILITIES | |
| Accountspayable and accrued liabilities (524,094) |
- (524,094) - |
The carrying values of cash, and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the relatively short period to maturity of those financial instruments.
As at December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, 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 1, 2 and 3 in the fair value hierarchy above.
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.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
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 of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $308,909 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $528,283. All accounts payable and accrued liabilities are current.
Market risk
The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and price risk.
-
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s cash is held at a Canadian chartered bank. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to cash is remote as the cash is easily accessible.
The Company’s interest rate risk principally arises from the interest rate impact of interest earned on cash. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk relating to its cash.
- Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in CA$. 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$.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Financial risk management (continued)
Market risk (continued)
- Foreign currency risk (continued)
The Company’s financial instruments were denominated as follows as of December 31, 2023:
| CA$ | US$ | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | 304,239 | 3,526 |
| Amounts receivable | 29,676 | - |
| Reclamation deposits | - | 22,600 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (211,503) | (239,140) |
| 122,412 | (213,014) |
|
| Rate to convert to $1.00 CA$ | 1.00 | 1.32 |
| Equivalent to CA$ | 122,412 | (282,173) |
Based on the above net exposures as at December 31, 2023, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% change of the CA$ against the US$ would change profit or loss by approximately $28,000.
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.
