SILVER PREDATOR CORP.

(An Exploration Stage Enterprise)

Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)


DAVIDSON & COMPANY LLP
Chartered Professional Accountants

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Silver Predator Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Silver Predator Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2024 and the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Matters

The consolidated financial statements of Silver Predator Corp. for the year ended 2023 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on March 22, 2024.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our auditor's report.

Assessment of Impairment Indicators of Exploration and Evaluation Assets ("E&E Assets")

As described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of the Company's E&E Assets was $2,496,900 as of December 31, 2024. As more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, management assesses E&E Assets for indicators of impairment at each reporting period.

The principal considerations for our determination that the assessment of impairment indicators of the E&E Assets is a key audit matter are that there was judgment made by management when assessing whether there were indicators of impairment for the E&E Assets, specifically relating to the assets' carrying amount which is impacted by the Company's intent and ability to continue to explore and evaluate these assets. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate audit evidence relating to the judgments made by management in their assessment of indicators of impairment that could give rise to the requirement to prepare an estimate of the recoverable amount of the E&E Asset.

Telephone (604) 687-0947 Davidson-co.com


Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures included, among others:

  • Obtaining an understanding of the key controls associated with evaluating the E&E Assets for indicators of impairment.
  • Evaluating management’s assessment of impairment indicators.
  • Evaluating the intent for the E&E Assets through discussion and communication with management.
  • Reviewing the Company’s recent expenditure activity and expenditure budgets for future periods.
  • Assessing compliance with agreements and expenditure requirements including reviewing option agreements and vouching cash payments.
  • Assessing the Company’s rights to explore E&E Assets including sending confirmation requests to optionors to ensure good standing of agreements.
  • Obtaining from legal counsel, confirmation of title to ensure mineral rights underlying the E&E Assets are in good standing.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.


As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Yu Li.

Silver Predator Corp.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

  1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Silver Predator Corp. ("SPD") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on May 16, 2006. SPD owns the Copper King copper-silver project ("Copper King") in the Coeur d'Alene Silver District of northern Idaho, U.S., and other early stage exploration properties in the U.S. As of December 31, 2024, SPD is 51.82% owned by Till Capital Corporation ("Till Capital"). SPD's head office is located at 666 Burrard St. Suite 1700, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2X8, Canada.

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MEASUREMENT

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, stock-based awards, and assets held for sale which have been measured at fair value. SPD's presentation currency is Canadian dollars. Reference herein to $ is to Canadian dollars. Reference herein to US$ is to United States dollars.

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issuance on March 21, 2025.

  1. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The material accounting policies used in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of SPD and its following wholly owned subsidiary:

Name of Subsidiary Place of Incorporation Proportion of Ownership Interest Principal Activity
Silver Predator US Holding Corp. ("SPUS") Nevada, USA 100% U.S. Holding Company

A subsidiary is an entity that SPD controls, either directly or indirectly. Control is defined as the exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with an investee and the ability to affect those returns through power over the investee. Control over an investee exists when SPD has existing rights that give it the ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee's returns. That control is generally evidenced through owning more than 50% of the voting rights or currently exercisable potential voting rights of a company's share capital. All Intra-group balances and transactions, including any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the financial statements of the SPD.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the results of the subsidiary to bring its accounting policies in line with those used by SPD.

Translation of foreign currencies

The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of SPD is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency of SPUS is the United States dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the


Silver Predator Corp.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognized in profit and loss in the period in which they arise.

For the purpose of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of SPUS are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period that approximate the rates on the dates of transactions, and where exchange differences arise, they are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

Cash

Cash comprises cash and short term treasury bills with maturities of less than three months held at financial institutions.

Financial assets and investments

SPD classifies financial assets and investments in the following categories:

  • at fair value through profit and loss ("FVPL"),
  • at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), or
  • at amortized cost.

SPD determines the classification of financial assets and investments at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by SPD's business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVPL, for other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition SPD can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVOCI.

SPD's accounting policy for each of the categories is as follows:

Financial assets at FVPL

Financial assets carried at FVPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statement of income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets held at FVPL are included in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which they arise.

Financial assets at FVOCI

Investments in equity instruments at FVOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income.

Financial assets at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of contractual cash flows, and the asset's contractual cash flows are comprised solely of payments of principal and interest. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date, and are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

SPD recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost.

At each reporting date, SPD measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, SPD measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses.

Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.


Silver Predator Corp.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

Reclamation bonds

Reclamation bonds include bonds that have been pledged for reclamation and closure activities and that are not available for immediate disbursement.

Mineral properties

Costs directly related to the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties are capitalized once the legal rights to explore the mineral properties are acquired or obtained. When the technical and commercial viability of a mineral resource has been demonstrated, the capitalized costs of the related property are transferred to mining assets and depreciated using the units-of-production method on commencement of production.

Management reviews the exploration and evaluation assets for impairment at each reporting period or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the facts and circumstances suggest the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount (where the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit ("CGU") is the greater of the CGU's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use), the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss. Once an exploration and evaluation asset has been determined to be technically feasible and commercially viable and the decision to proceed with development has been approved, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to construction-in-progress within property, plant and equipment.

From time to time, SPD acquires or disposes of properties pursuant to the terms of option agreements. Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee and, accordingly, are recorded as mineral property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. Proceeds received from the sale or option of an interest in a property will be credited against the carrying value of the property. Option payments received in excess of the carrying value of a property are recorded as an exploration expense recovery in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

Provision for environmental reclamation

SPD recognizes liabilities for legal or constructive obligations associated with the restoration of mineral properties and retirement of equipment. The net present value of future reclamation costs is capitalized to the related asset along with a corresponding increase in the reclamation provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value.

SPD's estimates of reclamation costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. Those changes are recorded directly to the related assets with a corresponding entry to the reclamation provision. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

Impairment of mineral properties

At each reporting period, SPD assesses whether there is an indication that an asset or group of assets may be impaired. When impairment indicators exist, SPD estimates the recoverable amount of the asset and compares it to the asset's carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost of disposal and the asset's value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). If the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income during the period.

Reversals of impairment arise from subsequent reviews of the impaired assets where the conditions that gave rise to the original impairments are deemed to no longer apply. The carrying value of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. The increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as a gain in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income in the period it is determined.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

Stock-based compensation

SPD grants stock based awards in the form of stock options in exchange for services from certain employees, officers, and directors. The stock options are equity-settled awards. SPD determines the fair value of the awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. That fair value is charged to loss using a graded vesting attribution method over the vesting period of the options, with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. When the stock options are exercised, the applicable amounts of contributed surplus are transferred to share capital. At the end of the reporting period, SPD updates its estimate of the number of awards that are expected to vest and adjusts the total expense to be recognized over the vesting period.

Income taxes

Income tax expense or recovery represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax payable, if any, is based on taxable earnings for the year.

Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable earnings. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable earnings will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable earnings nor accounting earnings. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and investments, and interests in joint ventures, except where SPD is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited to earnings, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recorded within equity.

Income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the assets and liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balance on a net basis.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Income per share

Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods. In periods of loss, basic and diluted loss per share are the same as the effect of issuance of additional shares is anti-dilutive.

Accounting policy judgments and estimation uncertainty

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to exercise judgment in applying SPD's accounting policies. Those judgments are based on management's best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances taking into account previous experience, but actual results may differ from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements.

Silver Predator Corp.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

Areas of judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are:

Impairment indicator assessment of mineral properties

SPD follows the guidance of IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources ("IFRS 6"), to determine when a mineral property asset has impairment indicators and is required to test for impairment. That determination requires significant judgment. The impairment indicators considered by management include: (i) the period during which SPD or its subsidiary has the right to explore in the area has expired during the year or will expire in the near future; (ii) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in a specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; (iii) a decision to discontinue exploration and evaluation in an area; and (iv) sufficient data exists to indicate that the carrying value of mineral properties will not be fully recovered from future development and production. No impairment indicators existed at December 31, 2024 for any of SPD's properties.

Valuation of investments

Investments that cannot be measured or can only be partially measured using observable market inputs are classified as Level 3 investments. The measurement of such investments draws principally on valuation models and methods. That valuation requires judgements. At December 31, 2024, SPD valued its Level 3 investments of WPPM shares based on the share price of WPPM's most recent equity financing completed on an arm's-length basis.

Valuation of promissory note receivable

Promissory note receivable is initially recognized at fair value and subsequently recognized at amortized cost. The most significant assumption in the determination of the initial fair value is the discount rate. SPD determined the discount rate based on market interest rates and the credit risk of the counterparty.

4. INVESTMENTS

On January 27, 2023, SPD received 631,034 shares of White Pine Precious Metals Inc. ("WPPM"), a privately held Ontario-based company, as partial consideration for the sale of the Taylor property. As per the Definitive Purchase Agreement for WPPM to acquire the Taylor property (the "Purchase Agreement"), SPUS has continued to receive additional shares to meet the 5% ownership requirement until WPPM reaches an equity capitalization of US$5 million. In 2023, SPUS received a total of 1,867,113 additional shares of WPPM to maintain ownership of 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of WPPM. As at December 31, 2023, WPPM's equity capitalization reached US$5 million, and therefore, SPUS receives no further shares as part of the Purchase Agreement.

Upon receipt of the shares of WPPM, SPD made an irrevocable election to designate them as equity instruments at FVOCI. Investments in equity instruments at FVOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income, net of taxes. As of December 31, 2024, SPUS owns 2,498,174 shares of WPPM valued at $0.36 (US$0.25) per share for $898,646.

During the first quarter of 2022, SPD received 166,667 shares of Forte Minerals Corp. (formerly Plan B Minerals Corp.) common stock upon its initial public offering to replace SPD's previous holding of 200,000 shares of Plan B Minerals Corp. Upon receipt of 166,667 shares of Forte Minerals Corp., SPD made an irrevocable election to designate them as equity instruments at FVOCI. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the 166,667 shares of Forte Minerals Corp. was $41,667.

As of December 31, 2024, SPD classified both the WPPM shares and Forte Minerals Corp. shares as non-current assets as SPD intends to hold both the WPPM shares and Forte Minerals Corp. shares for more than one year.

The fair value of securities in SPD's investment portfolio is estimated using the following techniques:

Level 1 - Assets or liabilities with quoted prices in active markets. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry


Silver Predator Corp.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

company, pricing service, or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.

Level 2 - Assets or liabilities that are measured using observable market data and are not allocable to Level 1. Measurements are based, in particular, on prices for comparable assets and liabilities that are traded on active markets, prices on markets that are not considered active, as well as inputs derived from such prices or market data.

Level 3 - Assets or liabilities that cannot be measured or can only be partially measured using observable market inputs. The measurement of such instruments draws principally on valuation models and methods.

SPD determines the estimated fair value of each individual security utilizing the highest level inputs available.

SPD's investment in Forte Minerals Corp. is classified as Level 1 because the fair value is based on quoted prices in an active market for identical assets that are reported at fair value.

SPD's investment in WPPM is classified as Level 3 because the value of that investment cannot be measured using observable market inputs. The fair value of SPD's investment in WPPM as of December 31, 2024 was based on the share price of WPPM's equity financing completed on an arm's-length basis during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The fair value hierarchy of SPD's investment holdings is as follows:

Fair Value at December 31, 2024
Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
FVOCI investments $ 940,313 $ 41,667 $ — $ 898,646
Fair Value at December 31, 2023
Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
FVOCI investments $ 360,405 $ 30,000 $ — $ 330,405

The following table presents the change in Level 3 investments:

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION

SPD operates in a single segment, which is the exploration and development of resource properties. All mineral properties are located in the U.S.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments include any contract that gives rise to a financial asset to one party and a financial liability or equity instrument to another party. At December 31, 2024, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated their fair values due to their short term to maturity. The carrying value of the promissory note receivable was measured at fair value on initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The amortized cost of the promissory note at December 31, 2024 of $731,098 approximated its fair value (December 31, 2023 - $1,078,909).

13. FINANCIAL RISKS MANAGEMENT

Foreign exchange risk

A portion of SPD's financial assets and liabilities are denominated in US dollars. SPD may raise funds in either US or Canadian dollars while major purchases and expenditures are usually transacted in US dollars. SPD also funds certain operations and exploration and administrative expenses in US dollars. SPD monitors this exposure to foreign exchange risk, but has no foreign currency hedge positions. At December 31, 2024, a 5% change in the value to the US dollar as compared to the Canadian dollar would result in a change of approximately $25,000 in shareholders' equity (December 31, 2023 - $54,000) and $1,000 in net income (December 31, 2023 - $1,000).

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. SPD is exposed to credit risk from cash deposits and reclamation bonds with financial institutions and regulatory agencies, promissory note receivable, and other receivables. Cash is held in banks and brokerage accounts, for which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal. Reclamation bonds consist of term deposits and guaranteed investment certificates that are invested with reputable financial institutions and a performance bond purchased from a regulatory agency, for which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal. Promissory note receivable is due July 27, 2026 from WPPM as part of the sale of the Taylor property. SPD's maximum balance sheet exposure to credit risk at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is the carrying value of its cash, note receivable, other receivables, and reclamation bonds.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk mainly arises from SPD's cash and cash equivalents, which receive interest based on market interest rates. Fluctuations in interest cash flows due to changes in market interest rates are negligible.

At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, SPD has no material borrowings.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that SPD will not be able to meet its current obligations as they become due. SPD prepares annual exploration and administrative budgets and monitors expenditures to manage short-term liquidity. Due to the nature of SPD's activities, funding for long-term liquidity needs is dependent on SPD's ability to obtain additional financing through various means, including equity financing. There can be no assurance that SPD will be able to obtain adequate financing or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. At December 31, 2024, SPD had a net working capital (current assets less current liabilities) balance of $1,215,143 (December 31, 2023 - $1,437,506).

14. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL RISK

SPD considers the items included in shareholders' equity to be capital. SPD manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, SPD may issue new shares through public and/or private placements, sell assets to reduce debt, or return capital to shareholders.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On January 24, 2025, WPPM and SPUS amended the terms of the promissory note. The next principal payment is now due July 25, 2025 and the final principal payment is due January 27, 2026. That amendment reduced the present value of the promissory note on the date of the amendment by $15,100.
