Business Overview
Silver Wolf Exploration Ltd. ("the Company") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Its principal business comprises the exploration for and development of mineral properties.
The Company is in the exploration stage. The common shares of the Company commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on November 29, 2006, under the trading symbol GRK, and are now trading under the symbol SWLF. The Company is classified as a Mineral Exploration company. The financial statements, to which this MD&A relates, have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has accumulated losses of $6,389,625 since its incorporation. The Company's ability to meet its obligations and maintain its operations is contingent upon additional financing or profitable operations in the future.
Operational Highlights
On September 3, 2024, the Company announced the kickoff of the inaugural and updated drill program at the El Soldado Claim at the Ana Maria Property, following the successful non-brokered Listed Issuer Financing Exemption ("LIFE") offering for $1,000,000 in gross proceeds in June 2024.
The number of planned drill holes has increased to fifteen (15) for a 2,500-metre drill budget. Two drill rigs will be utilized for the drill program and will be mainly testing targets by drilling 120-230 meters long, HQ diameter, diamond drill holes along the NW-SE prospective trend where the various historical workings and mineral occurrences have shown significant precious and base metal mineralization from surface sampling (See Figure 1 and 2 – following page). The drill planning will also use geological deposit modelling and target classic CRD alteration and brecciated carbonate host rock features.

In addition, two (2) optional holes have been laid out with planned depths of 200-250 meters to test the SE continuation of the mineralization trend, in case the preliminary results of the previous holes justify deeper target testing. The proposed drill program is subject to changes as the program progresses, and can lead to changes in number, location, depth and orientation of the drilled holes.

Figure 2 – Magnified Area of the El Soldado Claim showing the Planned Drill Holes
The geological team believes there is discovery potential for an Ag-Pb-Zn carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) at the El Soldado Claim based on extensive field mapping and observed features along with the historic artisanal mining areas discovered on the property, supported by the geochemical data from surface samples collected and reported August 9, 2022. Mineralization at the El Soldado Claim is hosted by Cretaceous Aurora limestone. It has been observed that Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization has a preferred linear orientation along a NW-SE trend. Mineralization is found in recrystallized limestone associated with a system of mantos and breccias with thicknesses ranging from 15 to $50~\mathrm{cm}$ , and the presence of fine-grained black sulfides. Mineralized breccias contain sulfide clasts of 0.5 to $1\mathrm{cm}$ size with presence of abundant calcite veins and oxides such as hematite and jarosite. These observations appear very similar to the mineralization and features described at the historic Ojuela Mine located only $9\mathrm{km}$ to the northwest, and La Platosa Mine located $15\mathrm{km}$ north of the of the Ana Maria Property, both known as CRD type Ag-Zn-Pb-(Au) deposits.
The second priority is the skarn zone at the La Recompensa claim. A skarn structure has been identified outcropping on surface and has been traced to the length of the claim on the boundary between the El Sarnoso intrusive rock and the Aurora limestone country rock. An airborne magnetic survey performed in 2022 confirmed the extent of the skarn structure as well as identifying its size. Silver Wolf will begin the drill program on this claim after reviewing the results of the southern claim to ensure a measured approach to drilling is taken.

Financing Efforts
On June 14, 2024, the Company announced the close of non-brokered LIFE offering of up to 6,666,667 million units at a purchase price of $0.15 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 to fund inaugural drill program. Each unit comprised of one (1) common share of the company and one half (1/2) of a non-transferable share purchase warrant at an exercise price of $0.25.
On June 28, 2024, the Company announced the completion of shares for debt settlements to settle an aggregate of $673,000 in indebtedness with two of its principal creditors. The Company issued 3,365,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.20.
Property Descriptions
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).
Minimal documentation exists regarding the history and production at Ana Maria; however, historical reporting states that La Lucha was exploited for Iron (Fe) and Manganese (Mn). Production terminated in 1943 and it was estimated to have produced 12,000 tons of material and reserves of approximately 25,000 tons.
The historical estimates of production and reserves as stated above are for historical reference only and do not use the categories set out in NI 43-101. The estimates are deemed relevant from the perspective that mineralization is present on the property which may indicate the existence of other related mineral assemblages. The QP has not validated nor verified these historical estimates nor any underlying data as information and data is not available. The QP has not done sufficient work to classify the estimates and the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current. The source of the information is the Mexican Government website and USGS (United States Geological Survey) website.
These projects are located in the North West-South East (NW-SE) striking fold-thrust belt of the Sierra Madre Oriental within a west trending prong known as the Sierras Transversales or the Monterrey-Torreón transverse system. It divides the Mesa Central, an elevated plateau to the South, from the eastern Mexican Basin and Range to the North.
The region hosts a number of carbonate replacement deposits (CRD's) within Cretaceous limestones and dolomites. Mineralization is associated with large stocks, dykes or sills of granitoids ranging from diorites to quartz monzonites and rhyolites and inferred to be lower crustal in origin. Mineralization is present as skarns or massive sulphides and occurred during Mid-Tertiary volcanism when the aforementioned intrusions were emplaced (Megaw et al., 1988 and references therein). The deposits typically produce silver, lead, zinc and copper although some districts, such as Ojuela (~10 kilometres from Ana Maria and La Zorra), are enriched in gold relative to typical CRD's.
El Laberinto Property
The El Laberinto Property 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 kilometers northeast of the city of Durango City, México. The property consists of mining concession encompassing 91.7 ha.
El Laberinto is situated within the Tepehuano terrane, as are Ana Maria, La Recompensa, and the El Soldado projects, but in close proximity to the contact with the Tahue terrane, W of the Sierra Madre

Oriental. The carbonates that host the CRD projects are absent; no Mesozoic rocks survived erosional processes in the region. Instead of the thrust belts of the Sierra Madre Oriental, the region is controlled by a series of North West-South East (NW-SE) to North North West-South South East (NNW-SSE) striking faults that create a horst-and-graben topography.
The main mineralized material at El Laberinto are comprised of iron, lead and zinc sulphides with minor silver sulphosalts. Gold and silver are present with minor lead and copper and to a lesser extent zinc. Values of gold and silver are localized in oxidized portions of the system suggesting that supergene enrichment may be an important component of the deposit. Mineralization is found in quartz veins, veinlet zones and, to a lesser degree, dissemination around veins and veinlets.
In the mid-1990's, the El Laberinto historical exploration performed by "Compañía Minera Mexicana de Avino S.A. de C.V." was focused on the objective of evaluating the potential of the main vein.
The historic work consisted of mapping and geological surface sampling, diamond drilling (3 Holes totaling 753.73 metres), mine development of the Jabalí Tunnel, with a strike length of 300 metres over the main structure and 80 metres in a cross-cut.
The historical exploration work as stated above are for historical reference only. The QP has not validated nor verified the data as the information is not currently available. The source of the information is an internal report from the previous operator, Endeavor Silver Corporation.
From September 2012 through to July 2013, work was carried out as part of the agreement between Avino Gold & Silver Mines (Avino) and Endeavour Silver Corp. (EDR) to test the potential of mineralization in the El Laberinto Claim.
This historical work included a mapping and systematic sampling campaign, collecting a total of 208 samples on surface with values of up to 8 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold & 421 g/t silver with the anomalous values mostly coming from the Laberinto Structure.
The drilling completed at that time was focused on the South part of the Laberinto Structure which was thought to have had the best potential of mineralization with large volumes and low grades. A total of 5 Holes were completed with 1,367 meters drilled and 2,800 samples were collected in both alteration zones and structures focused particularly in the host rock.
The historic exploration activities as listed above were performed by previous operators. The QP has not validated nor verified the information nor any underlying data however the information is considered reasonable and reliable.

Net loss for Q3 2024 was higher than previous quarters, mainly due to Share-based compensation and shareholder information explained above. Management expects that cost will increase in the coming quarters due to the start of inaugural drill program in Ana Maria property and the company's general working capital requirements.
The overall movements in other comprehensive loss in each quarter is a direct result of movements in the share price of the Company's investment in GGI, which is recorded through other comprehensive income or loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company has raised funds through equity financing to fund its operations. At September 30, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $928,495, a working capital of $629,853, and accumulated losses of $6,389,625 since incorporation. The Company's ability to meet its obligations and maintain its operations is contingent upon additional financing or profitable operations in the future. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing or achieve profitability or positive cash flow. If the Company is unable to generate positive cash flow or obtain adequate financing, the Company will need to further decrease its operations and exploration activities.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
The Company is in the exploration stage. The investment in and expenditures on the mineral properties comprise substantially all of the Company's assets. The recoverability of amounts shown for its mineral property interest and related deferred costs and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued support from its directors, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, and the ability of the Company to obtain the financing necessary to complete development and achieve profitable operations in the future. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses for the periods reported. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in operations in the period they become known.
Financial Instruments
The fair values of the Company's cash, loan from a related party, 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 available for sale investments and promissory notes payable are detailed in the consolidated financial statements.
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 | $ - |

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
(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:

Risks
Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that the Company's future exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore. Whether an ore body will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors including the particular attributes of the deposit such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, as well as mineral prices and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in a mineral deposit being unprofitable.
