The Company is providing paper copies of the Circular only to those registered shareholders and beneficial shareholders that have previously requested to receive paper materials. You can access electronic copies of the meeting materials on our website, https://silverviperminerals.com/investors/annual-general-meeting/ and on our SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com. You can also request printed copies of the meeting materials in advance of the Meeting, however your request should be sent to the Company so we receive it by Monday, June 9, 2025 in order to allow sufficient time for you to receive the printed copies and return your proxy or voting instruction form to intermediaries not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of British Columbia) prior to the time set for the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. To receive free printed copies of the meeting materials, please contact our Corporate Secretary by: (i) email: [email protected]; or (ii) mail: Suite 300, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The persons named as proxyholders in the enclosed form of proxy are the Company's directors and officers. As a Silver Viper Shareholder, you have the right to appoint a person or company (who need not be a Silver Viper Shareholder) in place of the persons named in the form of proxy to attend and act on your behalf at the Meeting. To exercise this right, you must either insert the name of your representative in the blank space provided in the form of proxy and strike out the other names or complete and deliver another appropriate form of proxy.

A proxy will not be valid unless it is dated and signed by you or your attorney duly authorized in writing or, if you are a corporation, by an authorized director, officer, or attorney of the corporation.

Voting by Proxy

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote or withhold from voting the shares represented by the proxy in accordance with your instructions, provided your instructions are clear. If you have specified a choice on any matter to be acted on at the Meeting, your shares will be voted or withheld from voting accordingly. If you do not specify a choice or where you specify both choices for any matter to be acted on, your shares will be voted in favour of all matters.


  • 2 -

The enclosed form of proxy gives the persons named as proxyholders discretionary authority regarding amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and any other matter that may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date of this Circular, our management is not aware of any such amendment, variation or other matter proposed or likely to come before the Meeting. However, if any amendment, variation or other matter properly comes before the Meeting, the persons named in the form of proxy intend to vote on such other business in accordance with their judgment.

You may indicate the manner in which the persons named in the enclosed proxy are to vote on any matter by marking an "X" in the appropriate space. If you wish to give the persons named in the proxy a discretionary authority on any matter described in the proxy, then you should leave the space blank. In that case, the proxyholders nominated by management will vote the shares represented by your proxy in accordance with their judgment.

Completion and Return of Proxy

You must deliver the completed form of proxy to the office of the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (contact information below), or to the Company's head office at the address listed on the cover page of this Circular, by Monday, June 23, 2025 at 11:00 am (Pacific time), which is not less than 48 hours (Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays excepted) before the scheduled time of the Meeting (or any adjournment, as applicable).

Non-Registered Holders

Only Silver Viper Shareholders whose names appear on our records or validly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Silver Viper Shareholders are "non-registered" Silver Viper Shareholders because their shares are registered in the name of a nominee, such as a brokerage firm, bank, trust company, trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan or a clearing agency such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (a "Nominee"). If you purchased your shares through a broker, you are likely a non-registered Silver Viper Shareholder.

Non-registered Silver Viper Shareholders who have not objected to their Nominee disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to us are referred to as "NOBOs". Those non-registered Silver Viper Shareholders who have objected to their Nominee disclosing ownership information about themselves to us are referred to as "OBOs".

Pursuant to NI 54-101, the Company will distribute copies of the meeting materials pursuant to the notice and access provisions described above. Nominees are required to forward the meeting materials to each OBO unless the OBO has waived the right to receive them. Management does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to OBOs under NI 54-101 the proxy-related materials, and Form 54-101F7 - Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary and that in the case of an OBO, the objecting beneficial owner will not receive these materials unless the OBO's intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

Silver Viper Minerals Corp – 2025 Information Circular


  • 3 -

Silver Viper Shares held by Nominees can only be voted in accordance with the instructions of the non-registered Silver Viper Shareholder. Meeting materials sent to non-registered Silver Viper Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive meeting materials are accompanied by a request for voting instructions (a "VIF"). This form is instead of a proxy. By returning the VIF in accordance with the instructions noted on it, a non-registered Silver Viper Shareholder is able to instruct the registered shareholder (or Nominee) how to vote on behalf of the non-registered Silver Viper Shareholder. VIFs, whether provided by the Company or by a Nominee, should be completed and returned in accordance with the specific instructions noted on the VIF.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit non-registered Silver Viper Shareholders to direct the voting of the shares they beneficially own. Should a non-registered holder who receives a VIF wish to attend the Meeting or have someone else attend on his or her behalf, the non-registered holder may request a legal proxy as set forth in the VIF, which will grant the non-registered holder or his/her nominee the right to attend and vote at the Meeting. Non-registered Silver Viper Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions set out in the VIF including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered.

Revocability of Proxy

If you are a registered Silver Viper Shareholder who has returned a proxy, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a registered Silver Viper Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by either:

(a) signing a proxy bearing a later date; or
(b) signing a written notice of revocation in the same manner as the form of proxy is required to be signed as set out in the notes to the proxy.

The later proxy or the notice of revocation must be delivered to the office of the Company's registrar and transfer agent or to the Company's head office at any time up to and including the last business day before the scheduled time of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

If you are a non-registered Silver Viper Shareholder who wishes to revoke a proxy authorization form or VIF or to revoke a waiver of your right to receive meeting materials and to give voting instructions, you must give written instructions to your Nominee in accordance with such Nominee's instructions.

Advanced notice of the Meeting was posted on the Company's SEDAR+ profile on April 17, 2025.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Except as set out herein, none of the directors or executive officers of the Company, nor any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year of the Company, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value (each, a "Silver Viper Share"), of which 19,477,162 Silver Viper Shares were issued and outstanding as of the record date, being May 13, 2025 (the "Record Date"). The Company has only two classes of shares, common and preferred. Effective January 15, 2025, the Silver Viper Shares were consolidated at a ratio of ten (10) pre-consolidation Silver Viper Shares to one (1) post-consolidation Silver Viper Share. All references to Silver Viper Shares and other securities of Silver Viper in this Circular as of the year-end December 31, 2024, are therefore pre-consolidation and as of the Record Date are on a post-consolidation basis. There are no preferred shares outstanding as of the Record Date. Holders of preferred shares would not be entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Silver Viper Minerals Corp – 2025 Information Circular


  • 4 -

Persons who are registered Silver Viper Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of, attend, and vote at the Meeting. On a show of hands, every Silver Viper Shareholder and proxyholder will have one vote and, on a poll, every Silver Viper Shareholder present in person or represented by proxy will have one vote for each Silver Viper Share. In order to approve a motion proposed at the meeting, a majority of more than 50% of the votes cast will be required to pass an ordinary resolution.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, as of the date of this Circular, no person or company beneficially owns directly or indirectly, controls, or directs shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding shares of the Company.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation, Philosophy and Objectives

The Company appointed a compensation committee (the "Compensation Committee") and adopted a Compensation Committee Charter providing the Compensation Committee with the overall responsibility of recommending levels of executive compensation in order to attract, hire, retain and motivate the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other executive officers (collectively, "Management") and certain key employees and non-executive officers below the vice-president level (collectively, "Non-Management Officers") and for recommending compensation of directors. See Appendix B of this Circular for a full copy of the Compensation Committee Charter.

The Compensation Committee consists of a minimum of three members, each of whom, to the extent possible, shall be independent within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"). As of the date of this Circular, the members of the Compensation Committee are Taj Singh, Toby Pierce, and Art Freeze, each of whom are considered independent for the purposes of NI 52-110.

The Silver Viper board of directors (the "Silver Viper Board") meets to discuss and determine management compensation upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee in accordance with the parameters set out in the Compensation Committee Charter. In accordance with the Compensation Committee Charter, the Silver Viper Board has delegated to the Compensation Committee the following duties and responsibilities:

(a) recommend to the Silver Viper Board: (i) the performance targets and corporate goals relevant to Management compensation and evaluate the performance of Management in relation to such goals; (ii) the proposed appointment of any person to Management; (iii) Management compensation; (iv) Non-Management Officer compensation; and (v) compensation of the directors who serve on the Silver Viper Board or its committees.

(b) administer the Stock Option Plan and recommend the to the Silver Viper Board all awards and benefits to be granted under such plan to Management and Non-Management Officers;

(c) with the assistance of Management, monitor compensation trends and recommend to the Silver Viper Board compensation policies and plans for the Company; and

(d) review the Company's disclosure related to executive compensation disclosure and the Stock Option Plan;

In carrying out its duties, the Compensation Committee may engage outside consultants to aid in its review of the Company's compensation program and policies.

The Silver Viper Board, as a whole and based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, aims to ensure that total compensation paid to Management, Non-Management Officers and directors is fair and reasonable. The Silver Viper Board relies on the experience of its members as officers and directors with other junior mining companies in assessing compensation levels based on the recommendations provided by the Compensation Committee. No director or member of Management (including the Named Executive Officers (as

Silver Viper Minerals Corp – 2025 Information Circular


hereinafter defined)) is permitted to purchase financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of the Company's equity securities held directly or indirectly.

Analysis of Elements

Base compensation is used to provide the Management and Non-Management Officers a set amount of money during the year with the expectation that each such person will perform his or her responsibilities to the best of his or her ability and in the best interests of the Company. The Company considers the granting of incentive stock options to be a significant component of executive compensation as it allows the Company to reward members of Management and Non-Management Officers' efforts to increase value for Silver Viper Shareholders without requiring the Company to use cash from its treasury. Stock options are generally awarded to directors, officers, consultants, and employees periodically at the discretion of the Silver Viper Board, on recommendation from the Compensation Committee. The terms and conditions of the Company's stock option grants, including vesting provisions and exercise prices, are governed by the terms of the Company's current 2017 stock option plan, which was most recently approved by Silver Viper Shareholders at the annual general and special meeting held on June 26, 2024 (the "Stock Option Plan"). The Silver Viper Board may, on a recommendation from the Compensation Committee, choose to grant a cash bonus to Management and Non-Management Officers during the year at its sole discretion. The amount and timing of such bonus will depend on the needs of the Company, the amount of cash in the treasury, and the relative amounts each member of management or consultant earns in fees each month.

Long-Term Compensation and Option-Based Awards

The Company has no long-term incentive plans other than the Stock Option Plan. The Company's directors, officers, employees, and consultants are entitled to participate in the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan is designed to encourage share ownership and entrepreneurship on the part of senior management, employees, and other consultants. The Silver Viper Board believes that the Stock Option Plan aligns the interests of the Management, Non-Management Officers and the Silver Viper Board with Silver Viper Shareholders by linking a component of executive compensation to the longer-term performance of the Silver Viper Shares.

Options to purchase Silver Viper Shares under the terms of the Stock Option Plan (each, a "Silver Viper Option") are granted by the Silver Viper Board, on recommendations from the Compensation Committee. In monitoring or adjusting the Silver Viper Option allotments, the Compensation Committee takes into account its own observations on individual performance (where possible) and its assessment of individual contribution to shareholder value, previous Silver Viper Option grants and the objectives set for Management, Non-Management Officers and the Silver Viper Board. In addition to determining the number of Silver Viper Options to be granted pursuant to the methodology outlined above, the Compensation Committee, on behalf of the Silver Viper Board, also makes the following determinations:

  • the parties who are entitled to participate in the Stock Option Plan;
  • the exercise price of each Silver Viper Option granted;
  • the date on which each Silver Viper Option is granted;
  • the vesting period, if any, for each Silver Viper Option;
  • the other material terms and conditions of each Silver Viper Option grant; and
  • any re-pricing, cancellation, or amendment to a Silver Viper Option grant.

The Compensation Committee makes these determinations subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option Plan. The Silver Viper Board reviews and approves grants of Silver Viper Options periodically during the financial year based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee.

Silver Viper Minerals Corp – 2025 Information Circular


Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, the Silver Viper Board may grant Silver Viper Options to directors, officers, employees and consultants as incentives. The number of Silver Viper Options awarded to a recipient is determined by their position and their potential future contributions to Silver Viper. The exercise price of Silver Viper Options is determined by the Silver Viper Board, on recommendation from the Compensation Committee, but will in no event be less than the closing trading price of the Silver Viper Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") on the day before a Silver Viper Option is granted.

The executive officers and Silver Viper Board refer to the Compensation Committee with respect to setting or amending any equity incentive plans under which share-based or option-based awards are granted, including the Stock Option Plan. The Compensation Committee carries out these responsibilities in accordance with the Compensation Committee Charter.

Summary of Compensation

For the purposes of this Circular, "Named Executive Officer" means each of the following individuals:

(a) the chief executive officer ("CEO") of the Company;
(b) the chief financial officer ("CFO") of the Company;
(c) the most highly compensated executive officer, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000, as determined in accordance with subsection 1.3(5) of Form 51-102F6V, for the year ended December 31, 2024; and
(d) each individual who would be a Named Executive Officer under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer, nor acting in a similar capacity, on December 31, 2024.

Ltd. or Belcarra Group Management Ltd., as applicable, is entitled to receive a lump sum payable within 30 days of the date of termination as laid out in the table below. If the Company terminates the Cope Agreement other than for an Event of Default, 1105179 B.C. Ltd. may be entitled to receive a lump sum payment of up to twenty-four months' consulting fee.

Silver Viper Minerals Corp – 2025 Information Circular


Termination and change of control benefits for Ms. Hartzenberg are governed through her employment agreement with Belcarra, dated January 17, 2018, and amended March 1, 2019, January 1, 2020, and June 1, 2021, and through the shared services agreement between Belcarra and Silver Viper Minerals Corp. as of January 1, 2017, and amended January 1, 2021 (the "Belcarra Agreement"). In the event of a Change of Control, if the Company terminates the Belcarra Agreement, in the 12-month period following a Change of Control, Ms. Hartzenberg would be entitled to receive a lump sum of $220,000, payable within 30 days of termination. If the Company terminates the Belcarra Agreement absent an Event of Default or a Change of Control, Ms. Hartzenberg would not be entitled to a payment.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The following is a summary of the Company's corporate governance disclosure required by Form 58-101F2 of National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices.

Silver Viper Board

The Silver Viper Board, at present, is composed of four directors, one of whom is an executive officer of the Company and three of whom are considered to be "independent", as that term is defined in applicable securities legislation. Arthur Freeze, Taj Singh, and Toby Pierce are considered to be independent directors. Mr. Stephen Cope, President, CEO and Interim CFO, by reason of his respective offices, is not. In determining whether a director is independent, the Silver Viper Board chiefly considers whether the director has a relationship which could, or could be perceived to, interfere with the director's ability to objectively assess the performance of management.

The Silver Viper Board is responsible for approving long-term strategic plans and annual operating plans and budgets recommended by management. Silver Viper Board consideration and approval is also required for material contracts and business transactions, and all debt and equity financing transactions.

Silver Viper Minerals Corp – 2025 Information Circular


  • 11 -

The Silver Viper Board delegates to management responsibility for meeting defined corporate objectives, implementing approved strategic and operating plans, carrying on the Company's business in the ordinary course, managing the Company's cash flow, evaluating new business opportunities, recruiting staff, and complying with applicable regulatory requirements. The Silver Viper Board also looks to management to furnish recommendations respecting corporate objectives, long-term strategic plans, and annual operating plans.

Directorships

Certain of the directors of the Company are also directors of other reporting issuers (or the equivalent) in a jurisdiction or a foreign jurisdiction as follows:

Name of Director Name of Other Reporting Issuer (or Equivalent in Foreign Jurisdiction)
Stephen Cope Orex Minerals Inc. (TSXV)
Taj Singh First Nordic Metals Corp. (TSXV)
Toby Pierce First Nordic Metals Corp. (TSXV), CanCambria Energy Corp. (TSXV), J2 Metals Inc. (TSXV), Wittering Capital Corp. (TSXV)

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Company has not yet developed an official orientation or training program for new directors. As required, new directors will have the opportunity to become familiar with the Company by meeting with the other directors and with officers and consultants. Orientation activities will be tailored to the particular needs and experience of each director and the overall needs of the Silver Viper Board.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Silver Viper Board monitors the ethical conduct of the Company and ensures that it complies with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, such as those of relevant securities commissions and stock exchanges. The Silver Viper Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law, as well as the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on the individual director's participation in decisions of the Silver Viper Board in which the director has an interest, have been sufficient to ensure that the Silver Viper Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company. Every quarter, the members of the Silver Viper Board, as well as the Company's officers and senior management, each sign a confirmation acknowledging the Company's code of ethical conduct and the following policies implemented by the Company: (i) conflicts of interest; (ii) insider trading; and (iii) discrimination, harassment, and bullying.

Nomination of Directors

The Silver Viper Board has not appointed a nominating committee because the Silver Viper Board fulfills these functions. The Silver Viper Board periodically reviews suggestions from existing directors regarding potential changes to the Silver Viper Board.

Compensation

All compensation matters are dealt with by the Silver Viper Board upon recommendations by the Compensation Committee.

To determine compensation payable, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation paid to directors, CEOs, and CFOs of companies of similar size and stage of development. The Compensation Committee determines appropriate compensation reflecting the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time

Silver Viper Minerals Corp – 2025 Information Circular


  • 12 -

and effort expended by the directors and senior management, while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Company. In setting the compensation, the independent directors annually review the performance of the CEO and CFO in light of the Company's objectives and consider other factors that may have impacted the success of the Company in achieving its objectives.

In terms of specific experience of the Compensation Committee relevant to the determination of executive compensation, Taj Singh is a Professional Engineer (P.Eng), a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), and a Certified Management Accountant (CMA) with over 22 years of experience in corporate development, capital markets, finance, project development, engineering, and operations; Art Freeze has held Consulting, Management & Supervisory positions with international mining companies; and Toby Pierce has 25 years of geological and financial understanding within the resource sector.

The Company is a small junior resource company with limited financial resources. The compensation program for senior management of the Company is designed within this context with a view that the level and form of compensation achieves certain objectives including attracting and retaining qualified executives, motivating the short and long-term performance of the executives, and aligning the interests of the executives with those of the Silver Viper Shareholders.

The Compensation Committee may seek independent compensation advice where appropriate from external consultants in order to assist it in assessing executive remuneration levels and aligning directors and executive remuneration packages with comparable market compensation. The Compensation Committee has not yet engaged such external advice.

Committees of the Silver Viper Board

The Silver Viper Board has appointed an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Corporate Governance Committee, the members of which are as follows:

Audit Committee Compensation Committee Corporate Governance Committee
Taj Singh*(1) Taj Singh*(1) Taj Singh*(1)
Toby Pierce*(2) Toby Pierce*(2) Toby Pierce*(2)

A description of the function of the Audit Committee can be found in this Circular under the section entitled "Audit Committee". A description of the function of the Compensation Committee can be found in this Circular under the section entitled "Executive Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis".

The purpose of the Corporate Governance Committee is to assist the Silver Viper Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to corporate governance in general, and specifically to ensure that the requirements for the Silver Viper Board and its activities conform to the Company's Corporate Governance Committee Charter, a copy of which is attached to this Circular as Appendix C.

Assessments

The Silver Viper Board has not, as yet, adopted formal procedures for assessing the effectiveness of the Silver Viper Board, its committees or individual directors, other than the reviews to be completed by the Compensation Committee from time to time. The relatively small size of the Company enables the Silver Viper Board to satisfy itself that individual directors are performing effectively. As the Company grows, the Silver Viper Board will consider adopting further formal procedures for evaluating director and committee performance.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

Since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year, the Company has not relied on the exemptions contained in Sections 2.4 or Part 8 of NI 52-110.

Part 8 permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of NI 52-110, in whole or in part.

Under s. 5 (b)(c) and (d) of Form 52-110F2, the Company has not relied on any of the following exemptions:

4. Approval of Incentive Stock Option Plan

The only equity compensation plan which the Company currently has in place is the Stock Option Plan which was most recently approved by Silver Viper Shareholders on June 26, 2024.

The Stock Option Plan requires the approval of Silver Viper Shareholders each year in the annual general and special meeting of Silver Viper Shareholders in accordance TSXV Policy 4.4 – "Security Based Compensation" ("Policy 4.4") of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual (the "Exchange Manual").

The Stock Option Plan is a rolling plan, with the Company authorized to reserve a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding share capital at the time of the grant. As a result, any increase in the number of issued and outstanding Silver Viper Shares will result in an increase in the number of Silver Viper Shares available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan.

Details of the responsibilities are laid out in National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees ("NI 52-110").

The Committee will fulfill these responsibilities by carrying out the activities defined below under "Duties and Responsibilities." The Committee shall be given full and direct access to the Silver Viper Board Chairman, Company executives, and independent accountants as necessary to carry out these responsibilities. However, the Committee's function is one of oversight only and shall not relieve the Company's management of its responsibilities for preparing financial statements which accurately and fairly present the Company's financial results and condition, or the responsibilities of the independent accountants relating to the audit or review of financial statements.

  1. COMPOSITION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Committee shall be comprised of at least three directors, each of whom will be independent to the extent possible and as regulated. No member of the Committee, to the extent possible, shall have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the preceding year. Each appointed Committee member shall be subject to annual reconfirmation after the Annual General and Special Meeting and may be removed by the Silver Viper Board of Directors at any time.

All members of the Committee shall be "financially literate" as defined in NI 52-110, meaning that they are able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a statement of financial position and statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity and cash flow statements. At least one member of the Committee shall have been employed previously in finance or accounting, or possess current or former certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background, which would result in financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities.

h. Pre-approve all audit services and permissible non-audit services by the independent accountants.

j.

k. For each of the first three fiscal quarters and at year end, at a Committee meeting, review with management the financial results, any proposed earnings press release and any formal guidance which the Company may plan to offer.

6.4 For greater certainty, an Option will not be affected by any change of employment of the Optionee or by the Optionee ceasing to be a director, senior officer or employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries provided that the Optionee continues to be an Eligible Person.

6.5 If the Optionee is a Company that is wholly owned by an Eligible Person, the references to the Optionee in this Article 6 will be deemed to refer to the Eligible Person associated with such Company.

  1. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

7.1 Subject to the provisions of this Plan, an Option may be exercised from time to time by delivery to the Corporation at its principal office in Vancouver, British Columbia of a written notice of exercise (substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule "B") specifying the number of Optioned Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in full, by cash or cheque, of the Option Price of the Shares then being purchased and, if required by the Corporation, the amount necessary to satisfy any applicable Withholding Obligations. The Optioned Shares so purchased will be issued and delivered to the Optionee within a reasonable time following the receipt of such notice and payment. The transfer and delivery of any Optioned Shares issued upon exercise of any Option will be affected according to the procedures established by the transfer agent of the Corporation for the transfer and delivery of the Shares.

7.2 Notwithstanding any of the provisions contained in this Plan or in any Option, the Corporation's obligation to issue Shares to an Optionee pursuant to the exercise of any Option will be subject to:

(a) completion of such registration or other qualification of such Shares or obtaining approval of such governmental or regulatory authority as the Corporation will determine to be necessary or advisable in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale thereof;

(b) the admission of such Shares to listing on the Exchange;

(c) the receipt from the Optionee of such representations, warranties, agreements and undertakings, as the Corporation or its counsel determines to be necessary or advisable; and

7.3 No member of the Board will be liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith in the administration, interpretation, construction or application of this Plan or any Options granted under it.

7.4 Options will be evidenced by a share option agreement, instrument or certificate in such form not inconsistent with this Plan as the Board may from time to time determine as provided for under Subsection 3.2(e) (substantially in the form attached as Schedule "A").

  1. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS

8.1 In the event of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering or any other corporate change involving a change to the Shares at any time after the grant of any Option to any Optionee and prior to the expiration of the term of such Option, such Optionee will receive at the time of any subsequent exercise of his or her Option in accordance with the terms hereof, in lieu of the number of Optioned Shares to which the Optionee was entitled upon such exercise, but for the same aggregate consideration therefor, such number of Optioned Shares as such Optionee would have held as a result of such change if on the record date thereof the Optionee had been the registered holder of the number of Optioned Shares to which the Optionee was previously entitled upon such exercise.

8.2 If the Corporation declares and pays a special cash dividend or other distribution out of the ordinary course, a special dividend in specie on the Shares, or a stock dividend other than in the ordinary course, the Option Price of all Options outstanding on the record date of such dividend or other distribution will be reduced by an amount equal to the cash payment or other distribution or the fair market value of the dividend in specie or stock dividend or other distribution, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion but subject to all necessary regulatory approvals.

8.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any adjustment to an Option granted or issued under this Plan (except in relation to a consolidation or stock split) is subject to the prior approval of the Exchange.

8.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if an Optionee is entitled to receive additional Optioned Shares on an exercise of Options as a result of a stock dividend and the Corporation does not have sufficient Shares available under this Plan to issue such additional Optioned Shares, such additional Optioned Shares so due on an exercise of Options shall not be issued by the Corporation and the stock dividends must instead be settled in cash on the same terms and in the same manner as the stock dividends so issued by the Corporation.

9. CHANGE OF CONTROL EVENT

9.1 If at any time when an Option granted under this Plan remains unexercised with respect to any Shares and:

(a) a Person makes an offer to acquire Shares that, regardless of whether the acquisition is completed, would make the Person an Acquiring Person;

(b) an Acquiring Person makes an offer, regardless of whether the acquisition is completed, to acquire Shares;

(c) the Corporation proposes to sell all or substantially all of its assets and undertaking;

(d) the Corporation proposes to merge, amalgamate or be absorbed by or into any other corporation (save and except for a Subsidiary) under any circumstances which involve or may involve or require the liquidation of the Corporation, a distribution of its assets among its shareholders, or the termination of the corporate existence of the Corporation;

(e) the Corporation proposes an arrangement as a result of which a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Corporation would be acquired by a third party; or

(f) any other form of transaction is proposed which the majority of the Board determines is reasonably likely to have similar effect any of the foregoing,

(each a "Change of Control Event"),

(g) then, in connection with of any of the foregoing Change of Control Events, the Board in its sole discretion, may authorize and implement one or more of the following courses of action:

(i) accelerate the vesting of the Option and the time for the fulfillment of any conditions or restrictions on such vesting to a date or time prior to the Effective Time of the Change of Control Event, and any Options not exercised or surrendered by the Effective Time of the Change of Control Event will be deemed to have expired;

(ii) offer to acquire from each Optionee his or her Options for a cash payment equal to the In the Money Amount, and any Options not so surrendered or exercised by the Effective Time of the Change of Control Event will be deemed to have expired; and

(iii) that an Option granted under this Plan be exchanged for an option to acquire, for the same exercise price, that number and type of securities as would be distributed to the Optionee in respect of the Shares issued to the Optionee had the Optionee exercised the Option prior to the Effective Time of the Change of Control Event, provided that any such replacement option must provide that it survives for a period of not less than one year from the Effective Time of the Change of Control Event, regardless of the continuing directorship, officership or employment of the holder.

9.2 For greater certainty, and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Plan, the Board will have the power, in its discretion, in any Change of Control Event which may or has occurred, to make such arrangements as it will deem appropriate for the exercise of outstanding Options including, without limitation, to modify the terms of this Plan and/or the Options, subject to the prior written approval of the Exchange. If the Board exercises such power after having received such approval from the Exchange, the Options will be deemed to have been amended to permit the exercise thereof in whole or in part by the Optionee at any time or from time to time as determined by the Board prior to or in conjunction with completion of the Change of Control Event.

9.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the vesting terms of Options granted to Persons retained to perform Investor Relation Activities may not be amended without the prior approval of the Exchange.

10. AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE OF THIS PLAN

10.1 The Board may suspend or terminate this Plan at any time, or from time to time amend the terms of this Plan or of any Option granted under this Plan and any stock option agreement relating thereto, provided that any such suspension, termination or amendment:

(a) complies with applicable law and the requirements of the Exchange, including applicable requirements relating to requisite shareholder approval and prior approval of the Exchange or any other relevant regulatory body;

(b) is, in the case of an amendment that materially adversely affects the rights of any Optionee, made with consent of such Optionee;

(c) is, in the case of any reduction in the Option Price of Options held by Optionees that are Insiders at the time of the proposed reduction, subject to approval by disinterested shareholders of the Corporation in accordance with the Exchange Manual; and

(d) is, in the case of the extension of the Expiry Date of an Option held by Optionee that is an Insider at the time of the proposed extension, subject to approval by disinterested shareholders of the Corporation in accordance with the Exchange Manual.

10.2 If this Plan is terminated, the provisions of this Plan and any administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations adopted by the Board and in force on the date of termination will continue in effect as long as any Option or any rights pursuant thereto remain outstanding and, notwithstanding the termination of this Plan, the Board will remain able to make such amendments to this Plan or the Options as they would have been entitled to make if this Plan were still in effect.

10.3 No amendment, suspension or discontinuance of this Plan may contravene the requirements of the Exchange or any securities commission or regulatory body to which this Plan or the Corporation is now or may hereafter be subject.

11. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS

11.1 The Corporation may withhold from any amount payable to an Optionee, either under this Plan or otherwise, such amounts as are required by law to be withheld or deducted as a consequence of the Optionee's exercise of Options or other participation in this Plan ("Withholding Obligations"). The Corporation will have the right, in its discretion, to satisfy any Withholding Obligations by:

(a) selling or causing to be sold, on behalf of any Optionee, such number of Shares issued to the Optionee on the exercise of Options as is sufficient to fund the Withholding Obligations;

(b) retaining the amount necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligations from any amount which would otherwise be delivered, provided or paid to the Optionee by the Corporation, whether under this Plan or otherwise;

(c) requiring the Optionee, as a condition of exercise under Article 3 to:

(i) remit the amount of any such Withholding Obligations to the Corporation in advance;

(ii) reimburse the Corporation for any such Withholding Obligations; or

  • 10 -

(iii) cause a broker who sells Shares acquired by the Optionee on behalf of the Optionee to withhold from the proceeds realized from such sale the amount required to satisfy any such Withholding Obligations and to remit such amount directly to the Corporation; and

(d) making such other arrangements as the Corporation may reasonably require.

The sale of Shares by the Corporation, or by a broker engaged by the Corporation (the "Broker"), under this Section 11.1 will be made on the Exchange. The Optionee consents to such sale and grants to the Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to affect the sale of such Shares on the Optionee's behalf and acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) the number of Shares sold will, at a minimum, be sufficient to fund Withholding Obligations net of all selling costs, which costs are the responsibility of the Optionee and which the Optionee hereby authorizes to be deducted from the proceeds of such sale;

(ii) in effecting the sale of any such shares, the Corporation or the Broker will exercise its sole judgement as to the timing and the manner of sale and will not be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price; and

(iii) neither the Corporation nor the Broker will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale of such Shares including any loss relating to the pricing, manner or timing of such sales or any delay in transferring any Shares to an Optionee or otherwise. The Optionee further acknowledges that the sale price of Shares will fluctuate with the market price of the Corporation's Shares and no assurance can be given that any particular price will be received upon any sale.

11.2 For greater certainty, no action may be taken by the Corporation or any other Person pursuant to Section 11.1 that would result in:

(a) an alteration of the Exercise Price of the Options at issue; or

(b) a cashless exercise of the Options at issue,

and any action taken by the Corporation or any other Person pursuant to Section 11.1 must be in compliance with the Exchange Manual.

12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

12.1 This Plan applies to all Options granted under this Plan after this Plan is approved by shareholders of the Corporation and the Exchange.

12.2 The operation of this Plan and the issuance and exercise of all Options and Optioned Shares contemplated by this Plan are subject to compliance with all applicable laws, and all rules and requirements of the Exchange. For greater certainty, disinterested shareholder approval of the shareholders of the Corporation will be obtained in connection with any matter regarding this Plan where required by the Exchange Manual.

12.3 As a condition of participating in this Plan, each Optionee agrees to comply with all applicable laws and the policies and requirements of the Exchange, and to fully cooperate with the Corporation in doing all such things, including executing and delivering all such agreements, undertakings or other documents or furnishing all such information as is reasonably necessary to facilitate compliance with such laws, rules and requirements, including all Withholding Obligations.

  • 11 -

12.4 Participation in this Plan is voluntary and does not constitute a condition of employment or continued employment or service. An Optionee will not have any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to any of the Optioned Shares underlying any Option until the date of issuance of a certificate for Shares upon the exercise of such Option, in full or in part, and then only with respect to the Shares represented by such certificate or certificates. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such share certificate is issued.

12.5 Nothing in this Plan or any Option will confer upon an Optionee any right to continue or be re-elected as a director of the Corporation or any right to continue in the employ or engagement of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or affect in any way the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate the Optionee's employment or engagement at any time; nor will anything in this Plan or any Option be deemed or construed to constitute an agreement, or an expression of intent, on the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to extend the employment or engagement of any Optionee beyond the time which the Optionee would normally be retired pursuant to the provisions of any present or future retirement plan of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or any present or future retirement policy of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or beyond the time at which the Optionee would otherwise be retired pursuant to the provisions of any contract of employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

12.6 An Option will be personal to the Optionee and will be non-assignable and non-transferable (whether by operation of law or otherwise), except as provided for herein. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of an Option contrary to the provisions of this Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon an Option, the Option will, at the election of the Corporation, cease and terminate and be of no further force or effect whatsoever.

12.7 This Plan (including any amendment to this Plan), the terms of the issue or grant of any Option under this Plan, the grant and exercise of Options hereunder, and the Corporation's obligation to sell and deliver Optioned Shares upon the exercise of Options, will be subject to all applicable law and the requirements of the Exchange, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, be necessary or advisable. The Corporation will not be obliged by any provision of this Plan or the grant of any Option hereunder to issue or sell Shares in violation of such laws, rules and regulations or any condition of such approvals.

12.8 This Plan and all matters to which reference is made herein will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

December 31, 2024


DAVIDSON & COMPANY LLP
Chartered Professional Accountants

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of
Silver Viper Minerals Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Silver Viper Minerals Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years 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 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years 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.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $2,542,735 during the year ended December 31, 2024 and has accumulated losses of $30,925,283 as of December 31, 2024. As stated in Note 1, these events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 year. 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.

In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, 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 the Exploration and Evaluation Asset ("E&E Asset")

As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of the Company's E&E Asset was $3,872,777 as of December 31, 2024. As more fully described in Note 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, management assesses the E&E Asset for indicators of impairment at each reporting period.

A member of Nexia International

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


The principal considerations for our determination that the assessment of impairment indicators of the E&E Asset 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 Asset, specifically relating to the asset's carrying amount which is impacted by the Company's intent and ability to continue to explore and evaluate this asset. 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.

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:

  • Evaluating management's assessment of impairment indicators.
  • Evaluating the intent for the E&E Asset through discussion and communication with management.
  • Reviewing the Company's recent expenditure activity.
  • Assessing compliance with agreements including reviewing option agreements and vouching cash payments and share issuances.
  • Assessing the Company's rights to explore the E&E Asset including sending confirmation request to an optionor to ensure good standing of an agreement.
  • Obtaining, from legal counsel, confirmation of title to ensure mineral rights underlying the E&E Asset 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 Carmen Newnham.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

  1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Silver Viper Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada on April 26, 2016. The Company completed an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) on September 27, 2017 and the Company’s common shares were listed for trading on the TSV Venture Exchange (“TSV-V”). The Company’s principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Mexico.

The head office of the Company is located at Suite 300 - 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 2E9. The registered address and records office of the Company is located at Suite 1700, Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6C 2X8.

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 28, 2025.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. The Company has been successful in raising funds from incorporation to date, but will require additional funding for continued exploration and working capital purposes in future periods. The Company has incurred a loss of $2,542,735 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and has accumulated losses of $30,925,283 as of December 31, 2024. These events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On January 15, 2025, the Company consolidated its outstanding share capital on the basis of ten (10) pre-consolidated shares for one (1) post-consolidation share. All share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the consolidation. The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding options are proportionally adjusted also.

These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company’s ability to receive financial support, necessary financings, or generate profitable operations in the future.

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at their fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont'd...)

Critical accounting estimates and judgements (cont'd...)

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

a) The recoverability of long-term taxes receivable. The Company pays Value Added Tax (“VAT”) on expenditures incurred in Mexico. Such VAT payments are considered to be refundable, however it involves a complex application process, and timing and success of collection is uncertain. If the recoverable amount is estimated to be less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced and an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For the year ended December 31st 2024 the Company recorded $259,806 impairment loss on VAT receivable.

b) The carrying value and the recoverability of the exploration and evaluation asset, which are included in the statements of financial position. The cost model is utilized and the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation assets is based on the acquisition cost. At every reporting period, management assesses the potential impairment which involves assessing whether or not facts or circumstances exist that suggest the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

c) The inputs used in calculating the fair value for share-based payments expense included in profit or loss and share-based share issuance costs included in shareholders’ equity. The share-based payments expense is estimated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model as measured on the grant date to estimate the fair value of stock options. This model involves the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the Company’s common shares, the expected life of the options, and the estimated forfeiture rate.

d) The recognition of deferred tax assets. The Company considers whether the realization of deferred tax assets is probable in determining whether or not to recognize these deferred tax assets.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries.

Name of Subsidiary Country of Incorporation Proportion of Ownership Interest Principal Activity
SV Plata Servicios S.A. de C.V. Mexico 100% Mineral exploration
SV Minérales S.A. de C.V. Mexico 100% Mineral exploration

Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont'd...)

Exploration and evaluation assets

The Company is currently in the exploration stage with its mineral property interest. Exploration and evaluation assets include the costs of acquiring concessions, and the fair value, upon acquisition, of mineral properties acquired in a business combination. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area will be recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed in the period they are incurred except for expenditures associated with the acquisition of exploration and evaluation assets through a business combination or an asset acquisition. Significant property acquisition costs are capitalized only to the extent that such costs can be directly attributed to an area of interest where it is considered likely to be recoverable by future exploitation or sale.

Taxes receivable

Current taxes receivable consists of Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) receivables generated on the purchase of supplies and services, and are refundable from the Canadian government. Non-current taxes receivable consists of VAT receivables generated on the purchase of supplies and services and are receivable from the Mexican government. The Company classified the VAT receivables as non-current as it does not expect collection to occur within the next year. The VAT refund process in Mexico requires a significant amount of information and follow-up and the timing of collection of VAT receivables is uncertain. The Company believes that taxes receivable balances are fully recoverable and has not provided an allowance.

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost less depreciation, and any impairments and is depreciated over its estimated useful life using the straight line method at a rate of 20% per annum for equipment, 25% for transportation equipment and 50% for computer equipment. Cost comprises the fair value of consideration given to acquire or construct an asset and includes the direct charges associated with bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for putting it into use. When parts of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment. The cost of major overhauls of parts of equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell (“FVLCS”) and value in use (“VIU”). FVLCS is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont'd...)

Impairment (cont'd...)

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Warrants issued in equity financing transactions

The Company engages in equity financing transactions to obtain the funds necessary to continue operations and explore and evaluate mineral properties. These equity financing transactions may involve issuance of common shares or units. A unit comprises a certain number of common shares and a certain number of share purchase warrants. Depending on the terms and conditions of each equity financing agreement, the warrants are exercisable into additional common shares prior to expiry at a price stipulated by the agreement. Warrants that are part of units are valued based on the residual value method and included in share capital with the common shares that were concurrently issued. Warrants that are issued as payment for an agency fee or other transaction costs are accounted for as share-based payments.

Provision for environmental rehabilitation

The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of exploration and evaluation assets and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future rehabilitation cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work is capitalized to the related assets along with a corresponding increase in the rehabilitation 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. The rehabilitation asset is depreciated on the same basis as the related assets.

The Company'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. These changes are recorded directly to the related assets with a corresponding entry to the rehabilitation provision. The Company's estimates are reviewed annually for changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and changes in estimates.

Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Company's estimates of reclamation costs, are charged to profit or loss for the period.

The Company has no material restoration, rehabilitation and environmental provisions for the periods presented.

Financial instruments

IFRS 9 sets out requirements for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont'd...)

Financial instruments (cont'd...)

a) Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities

A financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The classification of financial assets depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. The Company's financial assets, which consist primarily of cash classified as FVTPL, and accounts receivables classified at amortized cost. Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date.

The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories, depending on the purpose for which the liability was acquired. The Company’s accounting policy for each category is as follows:

Fair value through profit and loss: This category comprises derivatives, or liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term. They are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through profit or loss.

Amortized cost: This category includes accounts payable and accrued liabilities, all of which are classified at amortized cost.

b) Impairment of financial assets

An ‘expected credit loss’ (“ECL”) model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt investments at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments. The Company's financial assets are measured at amortized cost and subject to the ECL model. The adoption of the ECL impairment model had a negligible impact on the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets on the transition date given that receivables are current and have minimal level of default.

Foreign exchange

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates and has been determined for each entity within the Company. The functional currency for all entities within the corporate group is the Canadian 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 in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, the monetary assets and liabilities of the Company that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the statement of financial position date while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in profit or loss.

Share-based payments

The Company grants stock options to acquire common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and consultants.


SILVER VIPER MINERALS CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont'd...)

Share-based payments (cont'd...)

The fair value of stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants is measured on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period as expense, with a corresponding increase in reserves. Consideration paid for the shares on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital.

In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at the fair value of the share-based payments. Otherwise, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received.

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the loss attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all potentially dilutive instruments. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive instruments are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. In periods where a loss is reported, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share because the effects of potentially dilutive common shares would be anti-dilutive.

Income taxes

Income tax on the profit or loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in shareholders' equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous periods.

Deferred tax is recorded by providing for temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting or taxable loss; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, it does not recognize the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (cont'd...)

Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Leases of right-of-use assets are recognized at the lease commencement date at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, and otherwise at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. At the commencement date, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received.

Each lease payment is allocated between repayment of the lease principal and interest. Interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term is allocated to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability. Except where the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset, the Company recognizes in profit or loss (a) the interest on a lease liability and (b) variable lease payments not included in the measurement of a lease liability in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. The Company subsequently measures a right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term, except where the lease contains a bargain purchase option a right-of-use asset is depreciated over the asset’s useful life.

The Company has elected not to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less, or for leases of low value. The payments for such leases are recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For the year ended December 31, 2024, rent expense included in office and administration of $19,200 (2023 - $52,380) has been incurred.

New accounting standards issued and not yet effective

The following new standard has been issued but not yet applied:

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”), which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company-specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management-defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are classified. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statement

As at December 31, 2024, there are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations with future effective dates that are expected to have a material impact on the Company.

7. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company defines its capital as shareholders' equity. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management due to the nature of the Company's business. The Company may invest its capital in liquid investments to obtain adequate returns. The investment decision is based on cash management to ensure working capital is available to meet the Company's short-term obligations while maximizing liquidity and returns on unused capital. The Company does not pay dividends. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There have been no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company raises capital to fund its corporate and exploration costs and other obligations through the sale of its common shares or units consisting of common shares and warrants in order to operate its business and safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern. Although the Company's management has been successful in raising funds in the past through issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will be able to continue this financing due to uncertain economic conditions.

8. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO CASH FLOWS

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of the financial instruments.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd...)

Concentrations of business risk

The Company maintains substantially all of its cash with a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with this institution may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk only with respect to uncertainties as to timing and amount of collectability of receivables. The Company believes its credit risk arises from VAT and GST, which are recoverable from the governing body in Mexico and Canada, respectively. As the Company’s exploration operations are conducted in Mexico, the Company’s operations are also subject to the economic risks associated with this country.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure.

Foreign exchange risk

A portion of the Company’s operational transactions are originally denominated in Mexican Pesos. Accordingly, the results of the Company’s operations and comprehensive loss as stated in Canadian dollars will be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. The Company does not hedge its exposures to movements in the exchange rates at this time.

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk is on its cash, taxes receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At December 31, 2024, a hypothetical change of 10% in the foreign exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and Mexican Peso would have an effect of $255,300 on profit and loss.

Interest rate risk

The Company limits its exposure to interest rate risk by holding cash deposits at major Canadian financial institutions and accordingly is not subject to significant interest rate risk.

Price risk

Mineral prices, in particular gold and silver, are volatile, and have fluctuated sharply in recent periods. The prices are subject to market supply and demand, political and economic factors, and commodity speculation, all of which can interact with one another to cause significant price movement from day to day and hour to hour. These price movements can affect the Company’s ability to operate and to raise financing through the sale of its common shares.

11. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company’s reportable operating segment is the acquisition of mineral properties. The Company’s geographic location is Mexico. The exploration and evaluation asset located in Mexico is $3,872,777 as of December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $2,831,703). Equipment is $2,842 as of December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $13,865)

the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations at this time.

Company Overview

The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on April 26, 2016, with the name Silver Viper Minerals Corp. The Company completed an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) on September 27, 2017 and the Company’s common shares were listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the trading symbol VIPR. The Company is also listed on the on the OTCQB under the trading symbol VIPRF.

The Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties, as outlined below.

La Virginia Gold Silver Project, Sonora, Mexico

La Virginia is a Silver-Gold Exploration Property located in the basin and range province of eastern Sonora, Mexico and is a group of six mineral concessions acquired through three separate agreements entered into during 2018. The two option agreements regarding the Rubi-Esperanza group of three claims totaling 2,102 hectares were signed in June, 2018 (the “Option Agreements”). A second group of three concessions held by Pan American Silver Corp (“Pan American”), totaling 35,600 hectares was added to the property in December, 2018 when an option agreement was signed (the “Pan American Agreement”). The Company, has filed surrender applications over two claims, and a reduction application for the third. The total area of the project now stands at 6,882 hectares in total. The surrender and reduction applications were made in order to reduce exposure to the high cost of carrying mature mineral claims and the process was guided by results and observations from the Company’s regional exploration efforts. The Company has not received official confirmation of reductions at the time of writing and may elect to further reduce claim area in the future as exploration and geological knowledge of the property advances. The La Virginia property includes drill-tested mineralized structures as well as extensive additional grass roots potential along trend and as parallel zones.

The Property is characterized by laterally extensive epithermal-style, gold-silver mineralization in quartz stockworks, veins and hydrothermal breccias, hosted in andesites and felsic dykes. Mineralization is controlled by structures related to the north-northwest regional trend which controls the local basin and range topography. Anomalous geochemical results have been returned from these structures along the length of the property. Historical mining activities in the core claims, evidenced by several underground workings, are developed on zones of increased silica alteration and veining. The largest historical workings, “La Virginia” and “Con Virginia” are still accessible and host mineralization ranging between one metre to greater than 20 metres in thickness.

In early 2019 the Company successfully renegotiated the 2018 Rubi-Esperanza Option Agreements and as such, the payment schedules contained in the 2018 Option Agreements are now superseded by those detailed in the 2019 documents (the “Amended Option Agreements”) signed in June, 2019. The Rubi-Esperanza claims are owned by two groups of concession holders who negotiated as a collective, believing the value of the combined claims to be more than the individual concessions. Payments and royalties detailed below will be split evenly between two agreements drafted, one for each party detailing payments for 50% of the value listed below.

The Amended Option Agreements allow the Company to earn a 100% undivided interest in the Rubi-Esperanza claim group by making cash payments to the claim owners totalling US$3,000,000 over a four-year period from June, 2019 and ending in June, 2023. The Company has made the first payment of US$50,000, and the second payment of US$75,000. Subsequent payments of US$100,000, US$200,000 and US$2,575,000 are due on each anniversary. The final payment must consist of US$1,200,000 in cash and the remainder in cash or shares at the Company’s discretion. Claim owners will retain a 2% NSR royalty which may be purchased by the Company for US$2,000,000 within five years of the effective date, or for US$3,000,000 after the fifth anniversary. On April 4, 2023, the Company negotiated a second amendment to the Option Agreements and Amended Option Agreements (the “Second Amended Option Agreements”). The Second Amended Option Agreements have cash and share considerations over six anniversaries that total US$3,100,000. A schedule of Amended Option Agreements and Second Amended Option Agreements are outlined under the exploration and evaluation section of this MD&A.

Company Overview (cont'd...)

La Virginia Gold Silver Project, Sonora, Mexico (cont'd...)

In addition to the Rubi-Esperanza claims, the Company reported on February 5, 2018, that it had entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") to earn an undivided 100% interest in three additional mineral claims held by Pan American totalling 35,598 hectares. The Pan American Agreement was signed on December 14, 2018. The claims described, surround the Rubi-Esperanza group and are known to host similar styles of mineralization, both along extensions of known trends and in potential parallel zones. In addition to acquiring the claims, the Pan American Agreement also provides the Company access to Pan American's La Virginia drilling and geochemical databases, including data from 52,635 metres of diamond drilling in 188 diamond drill holes across the Rubi-Esperanza claim group. Pan American will retain a 2% NSR royalty over the entirety of the newly combined La Virginia Property.

On September 20, 2018, the Company commenced a combined confirmation and exploration diamond drill program on the Rubi-Esperanza Claims. The proposed program was designed to total 5,000 metres and would provide confirmation intercepts in areas of known mineralization and first pass tests on as yet undrilled targets along the main mineralized trend. At the suspension of work in mid-December 2018, The program completed initial tests on five distinct prospect areas distributed along 11km of prospective trend for a total of 4,753 metres in twenty holes. The prospect areas tested included, from south to north, El Huarache, Las Hadas, Con Virginia, El Rubi and La Gloria.

Significant results from all Phase I drill holes are publicly available and were reported in three news releases; dated November 15, 2018, January 17, 2019, and February 1, 2019. Results from the drilling ranged from no significant intercepts in holes LV18-190 (Las Hates prospect), LV18-196 and LV18-197 (La Gloria prospect), up to a program best result of 13.3 metres (estimated true width 6.0 metres) averaging 3.16 g/t gold and 228 g/t silver from a downhole depth of 27.0 metres in hole LV18-201 (El Rubi prospect). Previously reported highlights from the 2018 drilling program include those from Las Huatas confirmation drilling with a best result of 18.0 metres (12.6 metres estimated true width) averaging 1.04 g/t Au and 79 g/t Ag from 178 metres in hole LV18-192.

In November 2019, drilling and geological crews commenced a Phase II diamond drilling program. The program was paused in late March 2020 due to the COVID-19 global pandemic and restarted late July 2020 once comprehensive safety protocols had been prepared and enacted. The first portion of Phase II drilling comprised of an additional 6,955 metres in 24 holes across two prospects. This included a test of the El Rubi discovery zone with 20 holes for a cumulative 6,103 metres, and nearby exploration prospect Macho Libre which received four drill holes for a total of 852 metres. Phase II exploration drilling continues to test exploration targets in the El Rubi vicinity, and field crews continue to advance exploration by way of geochemical sampling and geological mapping the Company has, to date, drilled a total of 110 holes on the property in Phases I and II for a combined total of 30,176 metres.

Significant results released from the first months of Phase II are documented in the Company's news releases dated January 13, 2020, February 12, 2020, February 26, 2020, March 30, 2020 and April 22, 2020. A news release dated July 16, 2020 details first results from the renewed campaign and is supported by news releases dated August 26, 2020, December 15, 2020, March 1, 2021 and March 10, 2021.

The news release dated August 26, 2020 detailed ten drill holes, six from El Rubi and four from Macho Libre, and included an elongate interval from hole LV20-245, measuring 110 metres downhole core length averaging 38 g/t Ag and 0.76 g/t Au. The interval included a higher-grade zone which averaged five metre downhole core length of 353 g/t Ag and 7.98 g/t Au. The estimated true width of this interval was interpreted as 50% of the core length though the actual orientation has not yet been confirmed. The broad interval first intercepted in hole LV20-245 is referred to by the Company as the "Western Zone". Subsequent drilling to test this newly identified Western Zone resulted in additional drilling to target this occurrence. The Western Zone appears to be a broad zone of fine quartz stockwork hosted by an andesitic agglomerate/volcaniclastic sequence within the footwall block of the northwest/southeast trending El Rubi breccia/fault zone.

Company Overview (cont'd...)

La Virginia Gold Silver Project, Sonora, Mexico (cont'd...)

Best results from the early parts of Phase II program to date include two metres (estimated true width 1.14 metres) averaging 15.55 g/t gold and 1436 g/t silver from a depth of 270.5 metres in hole LV20-217 and eight metres (estimated true width 5.04 metres) averaging 9.15 g/t gold and 569 g/t silver from a depth of 192 metres in hole LV20-218. Recently, favourable results include the project best hole LV21-289 which intercepted significant intervals from both the Western Zone and the El Rubi structure. The first, broad intercept was encountered from 280.5 metres downhole, averaging 18 g/t silver and 0.69 g/t gold over 130m (estimated 80.1 metres in true width) located above an intercept of the El Rubi structure which averaged 363 g/t silver and 21.2 g/t gold over a downhole length of 19.30 metres (estimated true width 11.89 metres) starting at 418.20 metres downhole. The highest individual sample from this hole was 429.5-430.0 metres downhole (0.5 metres) of 10,681 g/t silver and 738 g/t gold over an estimated true width of 0.31 metres.

Exploration targets in El Rubi include El Rubi North and El Rubi East (also known locally as El Molino), both prospects within the general target area of El Rubi. Further targets will be added as they are refined by ongoing prospecting work.

A project-wide, airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey was flown in March of 2021. The resulting deliverables include a geo-referenced orthophoto of the entire project and a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) which provided an invaluable exploration tool, and also is used to provide accurate topographic reference to be used in the generation of the project's maiden resource estimate.

In late 2021, Silver Viper commissioned a Titan MT deep-penetrating geophysical survey covering an area of 610 hectares on El Rubi plateau area. The survey was designed to comprise 15 southwest-northeast oriented lines spaced at 200 metres, with four tie lines perpendicular to the main grid. The survey was designed to test an area extending from El Rubi deposit on the western side to Paredones and Molino target areas on the eastern side. These two general areas represent sub-parallel mineralized trends separated by a horizontal distance of approximately 1,000 metres. The chosen geophysical method shows high conductivity anomalies, correlating with previously identified prospects in the area, that are associated with low-magnetic gradients. The results provide important information to refine future drilling plans.

A short description of selected targets on the project as follows.

El Huarache - A previously undrilled target area approximately 300-400 metres wide by 1,000 metres long characterized by a series of NNW striking felsic dykes with coincident silicification, veining and, in some locations, anomalous gold and silver values. To date very little work has been completed in this area. The single hole drill test during 2018 returned some mineralization. Follow up prospecting and geochemistry is recommended.

Las Huatas - A historical area drill tested by previous operators, Las Huatas lies south of the historical mine workings of Con Virginia. The prospect lies along the main mineralized trend and drilling during 2018 was designed to provide confirmation data from the known mineralized zone. The target zone was encountered at the expected depths and returned grades comparable to those reported previously.

El Rubi - A highlight from the Company's 2018 work was the discovery at El Rubi of a newly identified mineralized zone comprising quartz veining, stockwork and breccia, located approximately mid-way between the northern prospect area La Gloria and the historical drill area of Campo Santos. The 2018 drilling targeted and intersected a 100 metre-long section of the main mineralized trend, which was open in both directions and ready for follow-up work. This target area appears to be the northern extension of the La Virginia mineralized system, possibly offset by faulting up to 400 metres eastward when compared to the main mineralized zone.

Company Overview (cont'd...)

The El Rubi structure appears to be laterally extensive, reminiscent of and very likely related to mineralization emplaced at La Virginia. Alteration of host rock and sulphide content at El Rubi are observed to be slightly increased, when compared to the intercepts from the Las Huatas zone. This prospective structure is interpreted to continue for up to two kilometres northward, and appears to extend up to one kilometre southward, likely the source of anomalous soil samples at the newly identified prospect Macho Libre. Geological-structural mapping work and geochemical sampling done at Macho Libre includes contour soil sampling and a follow-up reconnaissance chip sample result of 3.62 g/t Au from the 2018 routine fieldwork.

To date the mineralized system has been intersected by drilling on 50 metre section spacings over a strike length of 500 metres. The dominant orientation on this system is roughly north-south striking, dipping steeply eastward. Numerous vein-related zones have been encountered on the western (footwall) side of this structure, often characterized as thin zones with elevated grade gold and silver, flanked by lower grade halos of mineralization. The tenor of the lower grade mineralization appears to be related to the concentration of fine quartz veins present as weak stockwork. The long intersection of mineralization reported from hole LV20-245 is the best encountered west of the main structure to date. LV20-245 is a significant hole in that it indicates a relatively consistent, broad zone of mineralization much higher in the hole than expected, as well as intersecting the target El Rubi structure at depth. The significance of this hole is that it supports the potential for near-surface, bulk tonnage mineralization potentially accessible by open pit. Additional drilling is required to confirm continuity of mineralization and orientation of this new discovery. Follow up drilling has confirmed this broad zone of mineralization on several sections. Drillholes LV20-284, 289 and 290 were drilled on 50 metre southerly step outs and have encountered similar styles of mineralization. Exploration work has continued around the El Rubi area since discovery. Sampling, geological-structural mapping, geophysical and topographic survey on two small-medium old mine workings (El Rubi and Cosala) are part of this work.

Macho Libre - An elongate zone oriented roughly north-south, hosting a laterally extensive silicified and variably mineralized structure located roughly 1 kilometre south of the El Rubi gold-silver occurrence. The defining characteristics of Macho Libre are similar to those of Con Virginia/La Virginia areas, comprising a thin (2-4 metres wide) laterally extensive, gold-silver bearing structure which may include breccia and quartz stockwork hosted mineralization. The structure outcrops at surface as a low, erosion-resistant silica ridge for a distance up to 2 kilometres. In some areas the outcropping silicified zone has preserved epithermal style bladed boiling textures. Reconnaissance soil sampling identified the zone as a multiple point anomaly, previous chip sampling has returned grades of up to 3.61 g/t gold, 5.0 g/t silver (Sample D006) and 2.12 g/t gold and 101 g/t silver (sample VRA085). Rock and chip channel sampling collection have continued intensively around Macho Libre with results up to 2.36 g/t gold and 71 g/t silver (Rock Sample) and 2.0 g/t gold and 116 g/t silver, 1.1 g/t gold and 4 g/t silver, and 1.0 g/t gold and 63 g/t silver (chip-channel samples). Detailed mapping, following the result of the geochemical results, is part of the prospecting program in this area. The trend of Macho Libre extends northward, to the east of El Rubi, and geological-structural mapping and sampling have been performed to follow this structure. Topographic survey on four small old mine workings have been part of the prospecting work around this area. The best drill result to date from this prospect is a 19.6 metres interval averaging 24 g/t Ag and 0.63 g/t Au.

El Molino (Rubi East) - A visibly oxidized and silicified zone hosting fine quartz veinlets in tight stockworks and breccia zones oriented in steeply dipping northwest-southeast oriented structures within andesites of the lower volcanic sequence. The target is roughly parallel to and located roughly 1.2 kilometres east of the El Rubi trend. The location is characterized by reddish coloured, sheer cliffs and a coincident multi-point soil geochemical anomaly measuring 800 metres by 250 metres. The initial drilling program has targeted the structural zone from the creek-bed with six holes located along roughly 475 metres of strike length. Several new structures (potential drill targets) were identified at El Molino in Q4 2022. Chip-channel sampling results on some breccias returned 1.6 g/t gold, 0.5 g/t gold, 0.3 g/t and 0.2 g/t gold respectively. Detailed geological-structural mapping have been carried out following the mineralized-brecciated structures. Geochemical results from other structures around El Molino target proves the trend of the mineralization. Additionally, soil sampling campaign was performed in November 2022 along the south-eastward extension of the El Molino trend, consisted of 3 lines, approximately N50°E, separated by 200 m, and generating a total of 60 samples. The results show anomalous silver and gold mineralization continues from north-west to south-east and confirms the mineralization potential of the El Molino target.

Company Overview (cont'd...)

Paredones – The Paredones (or “walls”) so named for the steep reddish cliffs of the southern portion of the zone, represent the northern extension of El Molino trend. The Paredones target area refers to a 500 metre long portion of the eastern mineralized trend. Paredones displays a marked sigmoidal flexure in plain view and is accompanied by strong silicification in parts and a modest coincident gold-silver geochemical anomaly. To date seven holes have been drilled at Paredones for a total of 2,886 metres. Results for four holes have been released, with a best result of 1.50 metres downhole length averaging 354 g/t silver and 4.99 g/t gold from a depth of 171.0 metres in hole LV21-323.

Los Cantiles (southern extension of El Rubi) - the chip channel samples collected from an irregular structure (andesitic dyke and hydrothermal altered breccia), returned with an average grade of 1.6 g/t and 54.7 silver and maximum values of 5.7 g/t gold and 148 g/t silver. Another breccia with quartz stockwork yielded a result of 1.69 g/t gold and 23 g/t silver.

El Oriental (south of the El Rubi) – silicified breccia with evident chalcopyrite and sphalerite mineralization are responsible for high gold and silver anomalies. Dump samples from an old shaft returned 17.8 g/t gold and 1,001 g/t silver. Furthermore, chip-channel samples returned 4.2 g/t gold and 310 g/t silver. On a second structure (El Oriental 2), chip-channel samples returned 0.3 g/t gold and 66 g/t silver.

Results of Operations

Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred exploration expenses amounting to $228,250 (2023 - $279,228). Exploration expenditures were incurred on its La Virginia exploration program. Expenditures were comparable in both periods.

General operating costs totalled $172,763 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 (2023 - $229,507). These costs included consulting of $Nil (2023 - $12,000), depreciation of $1,599 (2023 - $7,466), filing fees of $5,729 (2023 - $7,250), foreign exchange gain of $4,388 (2023 - $15,538), investor relations of $30,326 (2023 - $79,482), management fees of $85,110 (2023 - $85,110), office and administration fees of $53,007 (2023 - $44,706) and professional fees of $1,380 (2023 - $9,031). General operating costs were mainly comparable other than foreign exchange gain, investor relations, and professional fees. Investor relations decreased from $79,482 in the three months ended December 31, 2023 to $30,326 in the three months ended December 31, 2024 due to decreased investor relations needs. Foreign exchange is related to the fluctuating exchange rate of the Mexican peso to the Canadian dollar. Office and administration fees increased from $44,706 in the three months ended December 31, 2023 to $53,007 in the three months ended December 31, 2024 due to timing of administrative needs. Professional fees decreased from $9,031 in the three months ended December 31, 2023 to $1,380 in the three months ended December 31, 2024 due to decreased legal service requirement.

The Company wrote of taxes receivable in the amount of $259,806 during the three-month period ended December 31, 2023 ($Nil - 2024) the amount relates to VAT receivables due from the Mexican government and are for receivables that have been outstanding for greater than five years and are no longer recoverable.

The Company is in the exploration stage and commodity prices are not reflected in operating financial results. However, fluctuations in commodity prices may influence financial markets and may indirectly affect the Company.

The operating loss for the year was $2,542,735 (2023 - $2,984,691) after adjustments for non-cash items and changes in non-cash working capital balances, provided a net decrease in cash amounting to $1,996,069 (2023 - $2,977,968) from operating activities.

Cash used in investing activities of $273,180 (2023 - $264,183). The cash was used for the Company's option payment on its La Virginia property for $273,180 (2023 - $263,980) and purchase of equipment for $Nil (2023 - $203).

Cash from financing activities consisted of gross proceeds from a private placement of $2,376,900 (2023 - $3,832,398) and less share issuance costs paid of $148,317 (2023 - $200,005). Total cash received from financing activities was $2,228,583 (2023 - $3,632,393).

As a consequence, the Company's cash position decreased from the opening level of $447,680 at the beginning of the period to $407,014

Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the long term, but recognizes the risks attached thereto.

Capital Resources

The Company defines its capital as shareholders’ equity. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management due to the nature of the Company’s business. The Company may invest its capital in liquid investments to obtain adequate returns. The investment decision is based on cash management to ensure working capital is available to meet the Company’s short-term obligations while maximizing liquidity and returns on unused capital. The Company does not pay dividends.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company raises capital to fund its corporate and exploration costs and other obligations through the sale of its common shares or units consisting of common shares and warrants in order to operate its business and safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern. Although the Company’s management has been successful in raising funds in the past through issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will be able to continue this financing due to uncertain economic conditions.

Changes in Accounting Policies Including Initial Adoption

New accounting standards issued and not yet effective

The following new standard has been issued but not yet applied:

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”), which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company-specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management-defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are classified. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statement

As at December 31, 2024, there are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations with future effective dates that are expected to have a material impact on the Company.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Operational Risk Management

The Company is exposed to numerous risks by virtue of its operations as a mineral explorer, both of an operational and a financial nature. Operational exposures include the risks in acquisition of property rights and access, the actual surface exploration work, surveying the property and sampling, undertaking a drilling program, assaying the drill cores recovered, the evaluation of the results of these determinations and the technical assessments from all of these steps to identify mineralization initially, and then the determination of commercial viability of the mineralization. These various procedures involve the work of staff and consultants or contractors, which introduce risks of damage to the property sites and surrounding areas and harm to those workers involved in the project work. Also, this project work introduces environmental exposures, in particular from drilling, of contamination on site to the air, to the water and to the biodiversity, and equally to the communities in proximity to the project site.

The Company has developed a number of policies to address the ethical elements of its interaction with staff, contractors and communities and its full compliance with governmental laws, rules and guidelines. It has also developed policies addressing Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) requirements to guide its staff and others in the conduct of its business on site and elsewhere, and requires all workers to commit regularly to their adherence to the policies.

Climate Change

More recently, the effects of climate change to project work sites have introduced added risk to the success of the site work and the overall viability of the Company’s exploration plans. Climate changes can make the project site more difficult for workers due to extreme temperatures or heavy rains or flooding, all adding greater risk of injury or damage. Climate changes can change the costs of fuels and supplies, the availability of water for drilling, and costs for site preparation and maintenance. The impact of climate change has already caused changes to past project work, and there is expected to be future program changes necessitated by additional weather events and changes, which will alter the Company’s plans, performance and success going forward.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (cont'd...)

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

a) Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short-term maturity of the financial instruments.

b) Concentrations of business risk

The Company maintains substantially all of its cash with a major Canadian financial institution. Deposits held with this institution may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

c) Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk only with respect to uncertainties as to timing and amount of collectability of receivables. The Company believes its credit risk arises from value-added tax and goods and services tax, which are recoverable from the governing body in Mexico and Canada, respectively. As the Company's exploration operations are conducted in Mexico, the Company's operations are also subject to the economic risks associated with this country.

d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure.

e) Interest rate risk

The Company limits its exposure to interest rate risk by holding cash deposits at major Canadian financial institutions and accordingly is not subject to significant interest rate risk.

f) Price risk

Mineral prices, in particular gold and silver, are volatile, and have fluctuated sharply in recent periods. The prices are subject to market supply and demand, political and economic factors, and commodity speculation, all of which can interact with one another to cause significant price movement from day to day and hour to hour. These price movements can affect the Company's ability to operate and to raise financing through the sale of its common shares.

g) Foreign exchange risk

A portion of the Company’s operational transactions are originally denominated in Mexican Pesos. Accordingly, the results of the Company’s operations and comprehensive loss as stated in Canadian dollars will be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. The Company does not hedge its exposures to movements in the exchange rates at this time.

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk is on its cash, amounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At December 31, 2024, a hypothetical change of 10% in the foreign exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and Mexican Peso would have an effect of $255,300 on profit and loss.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

a) The recoverability of long-term taxes receivable. The Company pays Value Added Tax (“VAT”) on expenditures incurred in Mexico. Such VAT payments are considered to be refundable, however it involves a complex application process, and timing and success of collection is uncertain. If the recoverable amount is estimated to be less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced and an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $259,806 impairment loss on VAT receivable.

b) The carrying value and the recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets, which are included in the statements of financial position. The cost model is utilized and the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation assets is based on the expenditures incurred. At every reporting period, management assesses the potential impairment which involves assessing whether or not facts or circumstances exist that suggest the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

c) The inputs used in calculating the fair value for share-based payments expense included in profit or loss and share-based share issuance costs included in shareholders’ equity. The share-based payments expense is estimated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model as measured on the grant date to estimate the fair value of stock options. This model involves the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the Company’s common shares, the expected life of the options, and the estimated forfeiture rate.

d) The recognition of deferred tax assets. The Company considers whether the realization of deferred tax assets is probable in determining whether or not to recognize these deferred tax assets.
