Silver Wolf Exploration Ltd. Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 Expressed in Canadian Dollars

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Silver Wolf Exploration Ltd. (formerly Gray Rock Resources Ltd.) (“Silver Wolf” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. It is in the exploration stage with regards to its business of exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company has an option on the Ana Maria and Laberinto properties in Durango, Mexico. The Company’s head office and principal place of business is Suite 900, 570 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Silver Wolf is in the exploration stage and has not yet determined whether the properties contain ore reserves which are economically recoverable. The underlying carrying value of the mineral property interest and related exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of Silver Wolf’s interest in the mineral claims, the ability of Silver Wolf to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the sale of all or an interest in its mineral claims.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2022, the Company has a working capital of $149,628 and accumulated losses of $5,675,995. The Company has not yet generated any revenues from its operations and requires financing through the sale of shares or issuance of debt to continue with its operations and to develop its mineral properties. Although management intends to secure additional financing, there is no assurance that management will be successful in its efforts to secure additional financing, or that it will ever develop a selfsupporting business. These factors together form a material uncertainty that raises significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Risks associated with Public Health Crises, including COVID-19

The Company's business, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics, pandemics or other health crises, such as the outbreak of COVID-19 that was designated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The international response to the spread of COVID-19 has led to significant restrictions on travel, temporary business closures, quarantines, global stock market volatility and a general reduction in consumer activity. Such public health crises can result in operating, supply chain and project development delays and disruptions, global stock market and financial market volatility, declining trade and market sentiment, reduced movement of people and labour shortages, and travel and shipping disruption and shutdowns, including as a result of government regulation and prevention measures, or a fear of any of the foregoing, all of which could affect commodity prices, interest rates, credit risk and inflation. In addition, the current COVID-19 pandemic, and any future emergence and spread of similar pathogens could have an adverse impact on global economic conditions which may adversely impact the Company's operations, and the operations of suppliers, contractors and service providers, including smelter and refining service providers, and the demand for the Company's production.

The Company may experience business interruptions, including suspended (whether government mandated or otherwise) or reduced operations relating to COVID-19 and other such events outside of the Company's control, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, operations and operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

As at the date of the consolidated financial statements, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and related financial impact of COVID-19 cannot be reasonably estimated. It is unknown whether and how the Company may be affected if the pandemic persists for an extended period of time. In particular, the region in which we operate may not have sufficient public infrastructure to adequately respond or efficiently and quickly recover from such event, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations. The Company's exposure to such public health crises also includes risks to employee health and safety. Should an employee, contractor, community member or visitor become infected with a serious illness that has the potential to spread rapidly, this could place the Company's workforce at risk.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2021, annual consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgements and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these judgements and estimates. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include judgements and estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such judgements and estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period, in which the estimate is revised, and may affect both current and future periods.

The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Functional Currency

The presentation and functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary is the Canadian dollar.

Foreign Currency Translation

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on dates of transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position. Non-monetary items that denominated in foreign currencies are translated at historical rates.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries:

  • Cortez, a company incorporated on June 21, 2006 in Nevada, USA.

  • Compania Minera Mexicana de Gray Rock, S.A. de C.V., a company incorporated under the Mexican United States law on July 21, 2020.

Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated on consolidation.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Application of new and revised accounting standards:

Property, Plant and Equipment — Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16)

The amendments prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss. The amendments are applied on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with early application permitted. The amendments are applied retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the Company first applies the amendments. This amendment will impact the Company’s accounting for proceeds from mineral sales prior to reaching commercial production at levels intended by management. The Company adopted the amendments to IAS 16 with no material impact on the financial statements.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies Not Yet Effective as at September 30, 2022:

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.

a) Ana Maria & Laberinto Properties

During 2020, the Company announced the signing of an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (“Avino”), a company with directors and management in common, as optionor. Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company was granted the exclusive right to acquire an 100% interest in the Ana Maria and El Laberinto properties in Mexico (the “Option”), in consideration of the issuance to Avino of share purchase warrants to acquire 300,000 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a period of 36 months from the date of the TSX Venture Exchange’s final approval date of the Option Agreement of March 8, 2021.

During year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange and issued to Avino the share purchase warrants to acquire 300,000 common shares and issued 131,718 common shares at an average price of $0.3796, valued at $50,000, to satisfy the terms laid out in Item 1 a) of the Option Agreement

In order to exercise the Option, the Company will:

  1. Pay or issue to Avino a total of $600,000 in cash or common shares of the Company as follows: a. $50,000 in common shares of the Company within 30 days of March 8, 2021;

  2. b. A further $50,000 on or before March 8, 2022;

  3. c. A further $100,000 on or before March 8, 2023;

  4. d. A further $200,000 on or before March 8, 2024; and

  5. e. A further $200,000 on or before March 8, 2025; and

10

Silver Wolf Exploration Ltd. Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 Expressed in Canadian Dollars

  1. Incur a total of $750,000 in exploration expenditures on the properties, as follows:

  2. a. $50,000 on or before March 8, 2022;

  3. b. A further $100,000 on or before March 8, 2023; and

  4. c. A further $600,000 on or before March 8, 2025.

All share issuances will be based on the average volume weighted trading price of the Company’s shares on the TSX Venture Exchange for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance of the shares, and the shares will be subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities legislation for 4 months and a day from their date of issue.

Any exploration expenditures in excess of any period stated above will be applied towards the next succeeding period’s minimum requirements. During the option period, the Company will also assume liability and be responsible for all required semi-annual property payments required to maintain the properties in good standing.

The Company also granted to Avino a right of first refusal on 60 days’ notice to Avino to purchase and process any ore or concentrate extracted from the properties under a custom milling contract at Avino’s mine facilities.

On March 30, 2022, the Company issued 250,000 common shares to Avino as part of the terms outlined in 1.b. in the Option Agreement, and as of the date of these financial statements, all requirements have been fulfilled within the timeline of the Option Agreement outlined above.

Ana Maria Property

The Ana Maria property is located 21 kilometres (km) northwest of the City of Gómez Palacio and the adjacent City of Torreón, and 1 km north of the town of Dinimita, in the municipality of Gómez Palacio, Durango, Mexico. The claims are located in the Minitas mining district in the Guadalupe Victoria mining region. The property consists of 9 mining concessions encompassing 2,549 hectares (“ha”).

Laberinto Project

The Laberinto Project is located in the “Sierra de la Silla” northwest of the town of Francisco I. Madero in the municipality of Panuco de Coronado. It is approximately 60 kilometres northeast of the city of Durango City, México. The property consists of mining concession encompassing 91.7 ha.

  • b) Silver Stream Claims

The Company has a 100% interest in two mineral claims in the Lillooet mining district of British Columbia, subject to a 3% net smelter returns royalty, known as Silver Stream 1 and Silver Stream 2 claims, collectively the Silver Stream Claims. The claims comprising the Silver Stream Claims remain in good standing until July 29, 2022.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company performed an evaluation of the exploration and evaluation asset at Silver Stream and recorded an impairment charge of $323,619 against the carrying value, reducing the carrying value to nil.

The impairment charge results from the Company’s decision in 2021 to focus its efforts and resources on the Ana Maria and Laberinto properties.

During 2022 the Company dropped the Silver Stream Claims as part of the continued focus on the Option properties.

Option pricing requires the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The expected volatility used in valuing stock options is based on volatility observed in historical periods. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.

The fair value of the options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions:

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of the Company’s cash, trade and other payables, and amounts due to related party approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s investments is detailed in Note 4.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks comprising credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.

(a) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company’s cash is exposed to credit risk. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash, by maintaining the majority of cash at high credit rated Canadian financial institutions. Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash, as the majority of the amounts are held with a single Canadian financial institution.

(b) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. At September 30, 2022, the Company had cash in the amount of $314,613 (December 31, 2021 - $364,784) in order to meet short-term business requirements. At September 30, 2022, the Company had current liabilities of $320,139 (December 31, 2021 – $277,245). Accounts payable have contractual maturities of approximately 30 to 90 days, or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms.

The maturity profiles of the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments as at September 30, 2022, are summarized as follows:

(c) Market Risk

Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and other price risk. These are discussed further below.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk consists of two components:

  • (i) To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.

  • (ii) To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

The Company’s cash is currently held in highly liquid short-term investments and therefore management considers the interest rate risk to be minimal.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in foreign currency.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that the following monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Mexican pesos and US dollars:

Based on the net Canadian dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at September 30, 2022, a 10% fluctuation in the Canadian/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 by approximately $3,002 (year ended December 31, 2021 - $6,428). The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk.

The Company is exposed to other price risk with respect to its investment in marketable securities, as they are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices.

  • (d) Classification of Financial instruments

IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’ establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

18

Silver Wolf Exploration Ltd. Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 Expressed in Canadian Dollars

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 following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at September 30, 2022:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Cash $ 314,613 $ - $ -
Investments 22,424 - -
$ 337,037 $ - $ -
