Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Unaudited – Prepared by Management (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Silver Range Resources Ltd.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
1. Nature of operations and going concern
Silver Range Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Silver Range”) was incorporated on May 18, 2010, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada as a wholly owned subsidiary of Strategic Metals Ltd. (“Strategic”). In 2011, the Company and Strategic completed a Plan of Arrangement which reduced Strategic’s investment in the Company to less than 20%. The Company is registered extra-territorially to conduct operations in the Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada. The Company also has a wholly-owned US incorporated subsidiary, Manta Minerals Corporation (note 5). The Company’s head office and principal place of business is located at 510 - 1100 Melville Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4A6. Its records office is located at 1710 - 1177 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2L3. The Company’s common shares trade under the symbol “SNG.V” on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).
The Company’s main corporate strategy is to advance its mineral properties to a drill-ready stage and then option or sell them to other parties. Under option or sale agreements, the Company may receive cash and/or shares in the acquiring companies and may retain interests or royalty interests in the properties. Through this process, the Company is assembling a portfolio of direct and indirect mineral property interests and marketable securities, which will assist in generating cash flows to meet overheads and ongoing exploration programs. The Company has not yet determined whether its direct or indirect mineral property interests contain mineral reserves that are economically viable. The Company's continued operations, and the underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests and marketable securities, are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves of the Company and those in which it holds a mineral property or shareholder interest. The continued exploration of projects will depend on it receiving future cash flows from the disposition or option of its mineral property interests and sale of marketable securities, or from its ability to obtain financing.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) are prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. As an exploration stage company, the Company does not have traditional sources of revenue, and historically has relied on property option or sale proceeds, proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, and share capital (private placement) financing to cover its operating expenses and exploration programs.
As at September 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $7,504 (December 31, 2023 – working capital of $255,808), and shareholders’ equity of $9,234,547 (December 31, 2023 - $9,722,884).
Management estimates that additional funding will be required to continue current operations and further advance its existing mineral property interests in the upcoming year. If the Company is unable to raise additional private placement funds, liquidate its positions in public and/or private company marketable securities, or obtain other sources of financing, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, seek additional capital on less favorable terms, and/or pursue other remedial measures, or cease operations. In making its assessment, management is aware that a material uncertainty exists related to conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, it could be necessary to remeasure the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis, and such remeasurements could be material.

2. Material accounting policies
(a) Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using the same accounting policies as detailed in the Company‘s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements.
These financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
All amounts on these financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the functional currency of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary.
(b) Material accounting policies
The accounting policies, estimates and critical judgments, methods of computation and presentation applied in these financial statements are consistent with those of the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements and are those the Company expects to adopt in its annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements.
(c) New accounting policies
Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

4. Marketable securities
The Company holds share positions in other resource companies (public and private) which were obtained under mineral property option agreements or by participation in private placements. The valuation of the shares classified as current has been determined in whole by reference to the bid price of the shares on the TSX-V or the Canadian Securities Exchange, as applicable, at each reporting date. The valuation of the shares classified as non-current has been determined using Level 2 fair value inputs in applying the market technique as further described in note 12.
Warrants were received as attachments to private placement units and did not trade in an active market.
A summary of the marketable security transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, is as follows:

6. Mineral property interests (continued)
Certain of the Company’s mineral property interests are subject to option out or sale agreements, earn-in or purchase agreements or net smelter return royalties (“NSR”), as detailed below.
(a) Yukon projects
(i) Michelle project
The Michelle property was acquired in 2015 in exchange for cash and the Company’s Mint property. The Michelle property is located in the Dawson and Mayo Mining Districts, Yukon Territory.
In 2021, the Company signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Silver47 Exploration Corp. (“Silver47”) a private British Columbia company, to sell Silver47 a 100% interest in the Company’s Michelle project. Under terms of the Agreement, Silver47 issued the Company 19.9% of its common shares in 2021 (received, 5,650,000 common shares at a fair value of $2,825,000 ($0.50 each)) (note 4). Additionally, the Company was granted a 1% NSR royalty, subject to a right of first refusal on any future sale of the royalty held by Silver47
(ii) Silver Range project
The Silver Range group of claims were acquired in 2011 from Strategic, by the issue of Silver Range common shares and warrants. The claims are located in the Whitehorse Mining District, Yukon Territory.
The Silver Range project includes the JRV claims and the BP4 claim.
In 2016, and as most recently amended on August 31, 2023, the Company signed a Letter of Intent to option out its Silver Range project to Broden Mining Ltd., (“Broden Mining”) a private British Columbia company, of which the Company is a 10% shareholder (381,778 common shares were received in 2021 with a fair value of $461,555 ($1.21 per share)), for consideration as described below and a retained 2% NSR on all future precious metals production and a 1% NSR on all future non-precious metals production from the project.
To complete the purchase, Broden Mining is required to:
-
Issue to the Company 10% of Broden Mining’s common shares upon completion of an equity financing by Broden Mining immediately following the completion of development agreements to explore and develop the land package (known as the Vangorda Lands), on or before August 31, 2025; and
-
Make a one-time cash payment of $10,000,000 in advance of commercial production commencing at the project or any portion thereof, due 12 months from the commencement date of commercial production.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company capitalized, and immediately wrote-off depreciation, reclamation, remediation and permitting costs on the Silver Range project resulting in a mineral property impairment charge of $107,354.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company capitalized, and immediately wrote-off costs on the Silver Range project resulting in a mineral property impairment charge of $5,643.

6. Mineral property interests (continued)
- (b) Northwest Territories projects
(i) Cabin Lake royalty interest
In 2017, and as amended on various dates and most recently on March 8, 2024, the Company agreed to sell 100% of its Cabin Lake property located in the Northwest Territories, to Rover Critical Minerals Corp. (“Rover”).
The Company retains a 2% NSR on all mineral production from the Cabin Lake property and Rover is required to make annual advance royalty payments as follows:
-
During 2020 and 2021, the Company received total payments of $40,000;
-
Pursuant to a March 1, 2023 amendment, the advance royalty payment for 2022 was amended to $30,000 and received during the year ended December 31, 2023, in 329,670 Rover common shares at a fair value of $28,022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, $8,022 was recognized within gain on sale of mineral property interests as $20,000 was accrued as receivable as at December 31, 2022.
-
Pursuant to the March 8, 2024 amendment, the advance royalty payment for 2023 was amended to $30,000 and was received during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, in 1,000,000 Rover common shares at a fair value of $30,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, $10,000 was presented as option proceeds and recognized within gain on sale of mineral property interests as $20,000 was accrued as receivable as at December 31, 2023.
-
Advance royalty payments of $20,000 are due annually from February 28, 2025 until a total of $230,000 has been paid by Rover so long as Rover or its successor holds title to the project.
Rover has the right to acquire up to 3/4 (being 1.5%) of the 2% NSR by making payments of either $750,000 or $1,500,000, depending on the indicated gold reserves that may be reported.
(ii) Uptown Gold property
On August 9, 2023 and further to a notice of termination on December 2, 2023, the property option to Collective Metals Inc. (“Collective”) was terminated as a result of Collective’s failure to incur an aggregate $1,250,000 in exploration expenditures on the property by June 30, 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company wrote-down the carrying value of the Uptown Gold property to $1 as a result of the Company having no current or future budgeted exploration programs in place for this project. This resulted in a mineral property impairment charge of $155,086.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company capitalized, and immediately wrote-off costs on the Uptown project resulting in a mineral property impairment charge of $5,288.

(c) Nunavut projects
- (i) South Kitikmeot property option
In 2021, and as most recently amended on April 25, 2024, the Company executed a Binding Terms Sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with an Australian company seeking a listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (the “ASX”) to grant to the Australian company the option to earn up to a 100% interest in the Company’s South Kitikmeot project located in Nunavut, Canada which comprises the Bling, Esker Lake, Goldbugs, and Uist properties.
Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company will receive consideration for the right to grant the Australian company an option to purchase an interest in the project as described (expressed in Australian dollars “A$”). Under certain circumstances the amounts below may be settled, in part, through the issuance of common shares to the Company:
-
A$25,000 (received, $22,637) upon certain conditions precedent including but not limited to the Australian company completing due diligence on the project, and completing an initial public offering and obtaining all applicable regulatory and third-party approvals for a public listing;
-
A$200,000 upon definition of a JORC compliant inferred resource of at least 500,000 ounces at an average and cut-off grade of 1.8g/t; and
-
A$200,000 upon definition of a JORC compliant inferred resource of at least 1,000,000 ounces at an average and cut-off grade of 1.6g/t.
JORC refers to the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the “JORC Code”).
The Australian company may earn a 100% interest in the project in staged commitments as follows:
-
An initial 51% interest by completing minimum exploration expenditures of A$1,500,000 on or before December 31, 2024;
-
An additional 15% interest by incurring additional minimum exploration expenditures of A$2,000,000 on or before December 31, 2027;
-
An additional 24% interest by completing a preliminary feasibility study for the commencement of mining operations on any of the properties at any time on or before December 31, 2037; and
-
The remaining 10% interest may be earned at the fair market value of the 10% interest, to be determined by an independent qualified valuator.
The Company will retain a 2% NSR on all mineral production from the properties, of which up to 1% can be purchased by the Australian company by either making a cash payment of A$1,500,000 to the Company or issuing common shares to the Company at an equivalent value.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company wrote-off the Hiqiniq, Qannituq, and Ujaraq properties to $nil as a result of the April 25, 2024 amendment which altered the scope of the option agreement allowing the claims underlying these properties to lapse. This resulted in a mineral property impairment charge of $58,456.

8. Share capital (continued)
Commitment to issue shares (continued)
The Company has an ongoing Consulting Agreement with Paladin, a company controlled by the President and CEO of the Company. The Consulting Agreement has historically been renewed with the most recent agreement covering the period from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2024, which was extended to March 31, 2025, by way of an amending agreement.
Pursuant to the 2022 Amending Agreement, Paladin received a monthly consulting fee of $11,250 in cash and/or shares, which at the sole discretion of Paladin at the time of submitting an invoice for services, may be up to a maximum of $5,000 in common shares. The consulting fee is paid/accrued on a monthly basis, and any common shares are issuable semi-annually. Amounts rendered by Paladin are recorded within both operating expenses and mineral property interests (notes 10,11).
The Consulting Agreement also includes a $250,000 termination provision which would be triggered by a change in control of the Company or the resignation or discharge of Paladin as a Director/Officer of the amalgamated or merged company in the event of a change in control.
All share issuances are subject to regulatory approval, including TSX-V acceptance, and are subject to such hold periods as are required by the TSX-V and applicable regulatory authorities. The number of any common shares to be issued by the Company is calculated at the end of each month during which services are provided, at a deemed price per share equal to the Market Price of the Company's shares (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX-V) on the last day of each such month on which the shares of the Company traded, minus 50% of the maximum discount permitted by those policies.
Through to September 30, 2024, the Company has accrued a commitment of $nil (December 31, 2023 - $15,000) relating to the period from April 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024.

The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan (the “Plan”). The essential elements of the Plan provide that the aggregate number of common shares issuable pursuant to options granted under the Plan may not exceed 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company at the time of grant. Options granted under the Plan may have a maximum term of ten years. A participant who is not a consultant conducting investor relations activities, who is granted an option that is exercisable at or above the market price at the date of grant, can have their options vest immediately, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. A participant who is a consultant conducting investor relations activities, who is granted options under the Plan, will become vested with the right to exercise one-quarter of the options upon conclusion of every three months subsequent to the grant date.

Financial instruments - fair value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, marketable securities, accrued receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable to related parties.
The carrying value of accrued receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable to related parties approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Financial instruments measured at fair value on the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position are summarized into the following fair value hierarchy levels:
-
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial instruments - risk
The Company’s financial instruments can be exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash. This risk is minimized by holding the funds in Canadian banks or with Canadian governments. The Company’s accrued receivables are due from creditworthy third parties and the Company believes the credit risk associated with these receivables to be low. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of these instruments. The Company's exposure to and management of credit risk has not changed materially from the prior year.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s financial liabilities are all due within the next twelve months. The Company manages liquidity risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure its expenditures will not exceed available resources. The Company's exposure to and management of liquidity risk has not changed materially from that of the prior year.

Financial instruments – risk (continued)
(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, other price risk, and currency risk. The Company's exposure to and management of market risk has not changed materially from that of the prior year.
(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because of fluctuating interest rates. Fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial instrument carrying amounts or cash flows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, every 1% fluctuation in interest rates would have impacted loss for the period by approximately $1,000 (2023 - $1,000) before income taxes.
(ii) Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). The Company is exposed to other price risk because of the fluctuating values of its marketable securities. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments. Based on the September 30, 2024 portfolio of marketable securities, every 10% fluctuation in the share price of the securities would have impacted loss for the period by approximately $640,000 (2023 - $670,000) before income taxes.
(iii) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency risk because it holds cash, and has certain receivables and accounts payable denominated in United States Dollars, which, because of fluctuating exchange rates can create gains or losses at the time cash is converted to Canadian dollars, or receivables and payables are received or settled. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its foreign currency holdings. Based on its September 30, 2024 United States Dollar holdings, every 10% fluctuation in the exchange rate would have impacted loss for the period by approximately $3,000 (2023 - $2,000) before income taxes.
13. Segmented information
The Company operates in one reportable operating segment being the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of mineral properties in Canada and the USA. The Company holds non-current assets comprising mineral property interests of $1,664,019 (December 31, 2023 - $1,736,835) in the USA. The remainder of the Company’s non-current assets are located in Canada.
14. Event after the reporting period
In November 2024, the Company received proceeds of approximately $763,000 on the sale of a portion of its Silver47 common share holdings (marketable securities) (note 4).
