  1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Silver Wolf Exploration 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 the 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, 2024, the Company has a working capital of $629,853 and accumulated losses of $6,309,634. 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 self-supporting 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.

  1. 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all of the information required for full annual condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2023, annual condensed consolidated interim 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.

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.

10. 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, 2024, the Company had cash in the amount of $928,495 (December 31, 2023 - $59,221) in order to meet short-term business requirements. At September 30, 2024, the Company had current liabilities of 319,816 (December 31, 2023 - $740,896). 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, 2024, are summarized as follows:

Total Less Than 1 Year 1-5 years More Than 5 Years
Trade and other payable $ 220,965 $ 220,965 $ - $ -
Finance lease obligations 20,476 4,429 16,047 -
Due to related parties 94,422 94,422 - -
Total $ 335,863 $ 319,816 $ 16,047 $ -

(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:

September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
MXN USD MXN USD
Cash and cash equivalents $ 31,367 $ 8,256 $ 83,385 $ 1,732
Amounts receivable 760 - 46,000 -
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (2,851,768) - (5,385,955) -
Net exposure (2,819,642) 8,256 (5,256,570) 1,732
Canadian dollar equivalent $ (174,021) $ 12,259 $ (411,579) $2,291

Based on the net Canadian dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at September 30, 2024, 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, 2024 by approximately $20,450 (year ended December 31, 2023 - $41,387). 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:

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).
