Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.5 million as of December 31, 2024 is not adequate to cover current expenditures and exploration expenses for the next twelve-month period ending December 31, 2025. However, it provides sufficient cash flow to meet the Company's short-term needs.

In April 2024, the Company completed its non-brokered private placement raising gross proceeds of $6.1 million. From December 2024 to February 2025, the Company completed its non-brokered private placement raising gross proceeds of $3.9 million.

The Company may, from time to time, when marketing and financing conditions are favourable, seek additional financing to fund exploration and property acquisition projects.

The Company has commenced evaluating strategic opportunities to add shareholder value through merger and acquisitions or by acquiring projects directly. The Company will focus primarily on silver projects and opportunities in the Americas; however, the Company may explore opportunities in other regions or with a focus on minerals other than or in addition to silver if advantageous to the Company. The activities of the Company are financed through the completion of equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. There is no assurance that equity capital will be available to the Company in the future in the amounts or at the times desired or on terms that are acceptable to the Company, if at all. See "Risks and Uncertainties" below.

As of December 31, 2024, and to the date of this Interim MD&A, the cash resources of the Company are held with certain Canadian chartered banks.

Regardless of whether the Company discovers a significant silver deposit, its cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.5 million as of December 31, 2024 is not anticipated to be adequate for it to continue operations for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2025. However, it provides sufficient cash flow to meet the Company's short-term needs.

Cash Flows

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $506,472. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $700,433 from the March 31, 2024 cash and cash equivalents balance of $1,206,905 was a result of cash outflows in operating activities of $6,435,463, cash outflow in investing activities of $27,724 and cash inflows in financing activities of $5,774,884.

Operating activities were affected by adjustments of stock based compensation of $1,662,494, depreciation of $295,378, accretion of $590,539, finance cost of $153,181, foreign exchange gain of $674,930, gain on settlement of debt of $34,031, unrealized gain/loss on change in fair value of marketable securities of $7,335, and net change in non-cash working capital balances of $1,453,100 because of a decrease in restricted cash of $79,009, an increase in sale taxes receivable of $97,952, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $376,721, an increase in inventories of $51,885, a decrease in long-term assets of $98,520, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $679,408 and an increase in due to First Majestic of $368,279.

Cash used in investing activities was $27,724 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Investing activities were affected by cash paid related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $62,389 which was offset by proceeds on sale of marketable securities of $34,665.

Cash provided by financing activities was $5,774,884 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Financing activities were affected by the proceeds from shares to be issued of $40,300, proceeds from private placements of $6,508,422, which was offset by share issue costs of $293,926 and lease obligation payments of $479,912.

Mineral Exploration Properties

Property Descriptions

La Parrilla Silver Mine Complex, Mexico:

On August 14, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of a 100% interest in the La Parrilla Silver Mine Complex located in San Jose de la Parrilla, Durango, Mexico.

The property is located in Durango State, Mexico, approximately 76 kilometres ("km") southeast of the capital city of Durango and is comprised of 40 contiguous mining concessions, in good standing, covering 38,128 hectares. The property was acquired by FMS in 2004 and became their operating first silver mine. When placed on care and maintenance in September 2019, the complex hosted five underground mines surrounding the mill including Rosarios, La Rosa, San Jose, Quebradillas and San Marcos, as well as the Quebradillas open pit. The complex collectively produced 34.3 million silver-equivalent ounces between 2005 and 2019.

Mineralization occurs as vein and replacement deposits, the locations of which are structurally controlled by pre-existing faults, fractures, and bedding planes. Veins can be either open space filling, forming massive sulphide and breccia veins, or fault-related, consisting of matrix-supported breccias or gouge containing disseminated sulphides and oxides. The La Parrilla deposits contain primary sulphides. Due to supergene oxidation, the primary sulphides in the upper parts of some deposits have been altered.

The metallurgical processing plant at La Parrilla consists of parallel 1,000 tpd flotation and 1,000 tpd cyanidation leach circuits to treat both oxide and sulfide ores, for a total capacity of 2,000 tpd, using a conventional flowsheet. Both ore types are polymetallic containing silver as their principal economic component as well as significant amounts of lead and zinc, and minor amounts of gold. Oxide ore is processed by cyanide leaching to produce doré bars while sulphide ore is processed by differential flotation to produce a silver-rich lead concentrate and a zinc concentrate.

A Mineral Resource Estimate completed by SRK Consulting (Canada) in accordance with NI 43-101 was summarized in a news release dated February 11, 2025 entitled "Silver Storm Announces 107% Increase in Indicated Mineral Resources at La Parrilla." The press release is available on the Company web site at www.silverstorm.ca.

The Mineral Resource Estimate includes 45 mineralized structures within the Rosarios, San Marcos and Quebradillas underground mines, currently on care & maintenance. All Mineral Resources are within close proximity to existing underground access and development. Separate block models were defined for each mineralized structure. The Mineral Resource estimation process at La Parrilla is aligned with generally accepted CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practices Guidelines (November 2019). The Independent qualified person (QP) has applied particular care in the incorporation of the reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction ("RPEEE") to Mineral Resources. The QP used a stope optimizer to identify those portions of the block model that can be reasonably expected to be extracted using selective underground mining methods.

Table 1 represents the Mineral Resource Statement for the La Parrilla Mine, effective December 31, 2024.

Additional drilling in 2023 and 2024 confirmed the continuity of vein mineralization, increasing the Indicated Resources Ag.Eq metal content by 107% and increasing Inferred Resources by 22%. respectively. The 23 newly interpreted mineralized structures, enhanced by new drilling and a thorough review of the legacy First Majestic Silver Mineral Resources database, contributed an additional 22% and 44% to the Ag.Eq metal content in Indicated and Inferred Resources, respectively.

Since 2023, the Company has collected significant specific gravity (SG) data, improving confidence in the in-situ density of mineralization in oxidized and sulphide materials, distinct from host rock density. This update has increased the estimated Ag-Eq metal content by over 10%, though these gains are largely offset by updated cut-off grades. Refreshed RPEEE criteria, with revised costs, metal prices and optimization parameters, led to slight reduction of 15% and 10% in the Ag-Eq metal content of Indicated and Inferred Resources, respectively.

San Diego Property, Mexico:

Silver Storm owns a 100% interest in the San Diego Property. The project was advanced through various exploration programs between 2005 and 2016 which included 6 Phases of surface diamond drilling totaling 32,933 metres ("m"). Phase 7 of diamond drilling commenced in October of 2020 culminating in 10,558 m completed in 24 holes by the end of 2022. The total amount of drilling completed on the property to the end of 2022 is 43,491 m.

The San Diego Property consists of 4 mining concessions (91.65 hectares) in the Municipality of Cuencame, Durango State, Mexico. It is located approximately 75 km southwest of the city of Torreon, Mexico and is 12 km northeast of Peñoles Velardeña Mine. The Peñoles non-ferrous metallurgical complex (smelting and refining) is in Torreon. The property can be accessed via a 10 km dirt road from the village of San Diego, which is only 5 km east of Highway 400 and Federal Road 49.

The property lies within the Velardeña Mining District where several mines have produced silver, zinc, lead and gold over the past century from polymetallic mineralization associated with intermediate to felsic intrusive bodies. The mineral deposits of the Velardeña Mining District consist primarily of quartz-calcite veins with associated silver, lead, zinc, gold and copper mineralization typical of the polymetallic, intrusive related skarn and low-sulfidation epithermal deposits of northern Mexico.

A Mineral Resource Estimate was completed by SGS Canada and an Independent Technical Report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 was published in April 2013. This report is available on the Company website at www.silverstorm.ca as well as on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The Estimated Indicated and Inferred Resources at San Diego from this Mineral Resource Estimate are summarized in Table 2.

resources due to lack of metallurgical tests illustrating their potential recoveries. (5) Totals may not add up precisely due to rounding. (6) (Mt): million tonnes; (M oz): million ounces.

Cautionary Statement: Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The resource estimate for the 21 veins and mineralized body were defined by a drill pattern and applying reasonable geological shapes to limit the lateral extent of the veins and mineralized body. Combinations of cross sectional and plan level views were used in order to develop an understanding of the structural relationship and cut off grades were applied. The indicated and inferred categories were partially based on historic structures that consistently exhibit lateral continuity and constant thickness, many of which can be traced along surface for hundreds of metres. There are no known factors such as environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio economic, marketing, political or other relevant factors which could materially affect the resources.

SGS Canada also recognized that there is Additional Target Potential of between 20 to 50 million tonnes grading 100 to 150 g/t silver equivalent. This Additional Target Potential is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

Exploration Update

On September 18, 2023, the Company announced the commencement of a 7,000 m Phase 1 drill program at La Parrilla which will focus on infill and step-out drilling in proximity to underground mining infrastructure and existing development in three key areas:

  1. Rosarios and Cuerpo 340 Veins – 3,000 m of drilling to test the east, west and central down-dip extensions. The Rosarios vein strikes north 70 degrees (°) west on average, dips at 64° to the northeast and has a known strike length of 2,000 m. The mineralization extends vertically for 900 m, and its thickness varies from 0.2 to 14 m. The vein sits roughly at the northern contact of the granodiorite stock and the limestone. The vein pinches and swells; economic grades can occur either at the footwall or at the hangingwall of the main controlling structure. Stockwork zones are developed either at the footwall or hangingwall of the vein; vein splays, such as Cuerpo 340, and replacements are typically developed at the hangingwall.

  2. Quebradillas Underground – 3,000 m of drilling to test the strike and down-dip extensions of three key zones including Cuerpo 460, Norte-Sur, and San Nicolas. The Cuerpo 460 Replacement vein strikes north 16° west on average, dips at 63° to the northeast, and has a known strike length of 425 m. The zone is mineralized for a vertical extent of 570 m, and its thickness varies from 0.1 to 8.5 m. The replacement body is hosted by the Indidura Formation and is concordant to bedding planes. The Norte-Sur vein strikes north 45° west on average, dips at 71° to the northeast and has a known strike length of 125 m. The vein is mineralized for a vertical extent of 465 m, and its thickness varies from 0.25 to 5.0 m. The structure is a fault-vein hosted by the Indidura Formation and the granodiorite stock, with replacement bodies developed at its footwall and hangingwall. The San Nicolas vein strikes north 25° west on average, dips at 70° to the northeast and has a known

strike length of 525 m. The vein is mineralized for a vertical extent of 470 m, and its thickness varies from 0.3 to 1.8 m. The vein shows open-space mineralization textures with small splays of massive sulphides in its hangingwall. It is hosted by Indidura Formation and it is oxidized in its upper 100 m.

  1. San Marcos – 1,000 m of drilling to test the extension of San Marcos and Cuerpo 1100 at depth. The San Marcos vein strikes north 20° west on average, dips at 60° to the northeast and has a known strike length of 650 m. The vein is mineralized for a vertical extent of 350 m, and its thickness varies from 0.5 to 17 m. The structure is a fault-vein that marks the eastern contact of the granodiorite stock with the Indidura Formation, and it is concordant with bedding. The structure pinches and swells, reaching its maximum thickness in flexure zones along strike where it generally develops cymoid loops. The Cuerpo 1100 vein strikes north 50° west on average, dips at 75° to the northeast and has a known strike length of 500 m. The vein is mineralized for a vertical extent of 430 m, and its thickness varies from 0.5 to 1.5 m. The structure is a fault-vein that pinches and swells and is hosted by the Indidura Formation and the granodiorite stock. The vein is oxidized in the upper 150 m and it usually develops mineralized stockwork.

On November 2, 2023, the Company announced drill results from 5 holes targeting the C460B, C460, Quebradillas, and Q38 Zones in the Quebradillas mine. Key highlights include:

  • Hole Q-23-001 successfully intersected C460B Zone returning 299 g/t Ag.Eq⁽¹⁾ over 1.64 m and 328 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.60 m within a broader interval grading 206 g/t Ag.Eq over 5.20 m, approximately 44 m beneath the last stope mined where channel sample results returned a composite weighted average grade of 266 g/t Ag.Eq over a strike length of 29 m and an average width of 2.9 m⁽²⁾.
  • Hole Q-23-003 successfully intersected replacement mineralization, returning 300 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.32 m (C460B1) and 414 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.84 m (C460B2), which is 75 m directly on-strike to the north of the C460B2 mineralization encountered in hole Q-23-001.
  • Hole Q-23-005 successfully intersected replacement mineralization returning 225 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.52 m (C460B1) and 172 g/t over 0.97 m (C460B2) extending the C460B Zone to 110 m below the bottommost stope mined in the zone.

Hole Q-23-001

Hole Q-23-001 was drilled to target the C460B Zone, within the Quebradillas Mine, approximately 44 m beneath the last stope mined in this zone, successfully intersecting replacement mineralization returning 299 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.64 m (32.70 to 34.34 m) and 328 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.60 m (36.30 to 37.90 m) within a broader interval grading 206 g/t Ag.Eq over 5.20 m (32.70 to 37.90 m).

These results compare favorably with and validate historical channel sample results previously completed by First Majestic Silver within the extracted stope (located 44 m directly above hole Q-23-001). The composite weighted average grade of the channel samples in this stope is 266 g/t Ag.Eq over a strike length of 29 m and average width of 2.9 m. Specifically hole Q-23-001 cut across the zone directly underneath channel 460B-1766-040 which graded 211 g/t Ag.Eq over 4.10 m, which is directly in-line with the intercept from this hole. Furthermore, historical hole ILP-Q-15-05 intersected 270 g/t Ag.Eq over 6.6 m approximately 26 m up-dip above hole Q-23-001. The combination of these results should result in an expansion of Indicated Resources within this area.

Hole Q-23-005

Hole Q-23-005 was drilled to test the northern extension of the C460B Zone and successfully intersected replacement mineralization returning 225 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.52 m (138.76 to 140.28 m; C460B1) and 172 g/t over 0.97 m (188.12 to 189.09 m; C460B2), which is 48 m directly under the C460B2 mineralization encountered in hole Q-23-003. The deepest intersection on hole Q-23-005 extends the C460B Zone to 110 m below the bottommost stope mined in the zone.

Additionally, several mineralized epithermal quartz-carbonate veins and breccias were encountered in holes Q-23-004 and Q-23-005 returning interesting gold intersections. These results indicate the potential for significant epithermal gold mineralization in the mine area.

On November 21, 2023, the Company announced drill results from 2 holes targeting the Norte-Sur vein in the Quebradillas mine. Key highlights include:

  • Hole Q-23-007 successfully intersected the Norte-Sur zone returning 436 g/t Ag.Eq over 4.46 m and 330 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.26 m within a broader interval grading 324 g/t Ag.Eq over 8.72 m.

  • Level 1737 graded 407 g/t Ag.Eq over a strike length of 28 m and width of 3.2 m; however the previous operator had only mined ~ 50% of the scope when the mine was placed on care & maintenance

Hole Q-23-007 also, surprisingly, intersected an unusual tourmaline breccia pipe, which returned 4.07 g/t Au over 1.77 m (133.00 to 134.77 m).

Hole Q-23-006

Hole Q-23-006 intersected a new zone of replacement mineralization returning 1,085 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.82 m (40.03 to 40.85 m) and 633 g/t over 0.44 m (58.26 to 58.70 m). Similar mineralization was observed 47 m away in historic hole ILP-Q-14-02, which intersected 1,019.5 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.05 m, and follow-up drilling will be performed in the next phase.

On December 5, 2023, the Company announced drill results from 5 holes targeting the C1524 and Norte-Sur Zones in the Quebradillas mine. Key highlights include:

  • Hole Q-23-010 intersected the C1524 Zone returning 650 g/t Ag.Eq over 7.14 m and 607 g/t Ag.Eq over 4.36 m, including 1,251 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.51 m, all within a broader interval grading 500 g/t Ag.Eq over 14.8 m.

  • Hole Q-23-008 intersected the Norte-Sur zone of breccia & replacement mineralization returning 506 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.68 m, 30 m up-dip from hole Q-23-007, which returned 324 g/t Ag.Eq over 8.72 m.

C1524 and C1524B Zones

The C1524 and C1524B Zones are subparallel fault zones within the Quebradillas Mine, trending 290 degrees azimuth and dipping respectively 60 and 90 degrees northeast, located approximately 400 m east of the Quebradillas open pit. The area is of interest because it contains several mineralized veins, namely the C1524, C1524A, C1524B, Norte-Sur, Quebradillas, La Estrella, and San Rafael Zones, which may have potential large high-grade mineralized shoots where they intersect. The C1524 and C1524B Zone

had 5 levels of development established and mined by First Majestic, and a ventilation raise from surface down to 275 m. As a result of the drilling and surface mapping conducted by the Company, high-grade silver mineralization can now be traced with continuity down to approximately 370 m from surface. Management anticipates follow-up drilling and mapping will continue to extend mineralization at the San Nicolas Zone, and the additional four proximal subparallel veins identified to date.

The San Nicolas Zone is comprised of subvertical quartz-carbonate vein and breccia mineralization striking NW (315/87) over a known length of approximately 600 m. Massive sulphide replacement zones occur within the hanging wall and footwall along the bedding within the sediments. The sulphide mineralization consists of pyrite, galena, sphalerite, acanthite, and native silver and is oxidized from the surface down to approximately 100 m. A second set of east-west trending sulphide bearing quartz-carbonate veins crosscuts the principal NW trend. Breccia pipes (chimneys) form at the intersection of these two trends.

Holes Q-23-013A to 015A targeted the southeastern down-dip extension of the zone beneath the 1886 m EL stope. Holes Q-23-024 to 026 targeted the central up-dip extension of the zone above the 1921 m EL stope.

Disclosure of Internal Controls

Management has established processes to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support representations that they have exercised reasonable diligence to ensure that the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (i) do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it is made, and (ii) fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flow of the Company, in each case as of the date of and for the periods presented by such statements.

In contrast to the certificate required for non-venture issuers under National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings ("NI 52-109"), the Venture Issuer Basic Certificate filed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR"), as such terms are defined in NI 52-109. In particular, the certifying officers filing such certificate are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of:


Silver Storm Mining Ltd. (formerly Golden Tag Resources Ltd.)
Interim Management's Discussion & Analysis – Quarterly Highlights

(i) controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and
(ii) a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

The Company's certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in such certificate. Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of the Company's certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement, on a cost-effective basis, DC&P and ICFR may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports required to be provided under securities legislation.

Risks and Uncertainties

An investment in the securities of the Company is highly speculative and involves numerous and significant risks. Such investment should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume these risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk factors that have affected, and which in the future are reasonably expected to affect, the Company and its financial position. Please refer to the section titled "Risks and Uncertainties" in the Company's Annual MD&A for the fifteen month period ended March 31, 2024, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
