SILVER X MINING CORP. (FORMERLY ORO X MINING CORP.) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) For the three months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Silver X Mining Corp. (formerly Oro X Mining Corp.) (the “Company” or “Silver X”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on June 4, 2009. On June 18, 2021, the Company changed its name to “Silver X Mining Corp.” and its trading symbol to “AGX”.
The Company’s principal business activities are directed towards the exploration and development of mineral properties in the Americas.
The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 1430 – 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2V6.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB have been condensed or omitted and these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2021.
Other than as stated below, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of applications as the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.
Going Concern and Continuance of Operations
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Realization values may be substantially different from the carrying values shown and these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At May 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $20,860,623 (February 28, 2021: $19,788,060) since inception, and the Company’s working capital was $14,054,499 (February 28, 2021: $1,392,748). The Company is expected to incur further losses in the development of its business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary capital to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal

SILVER X MINING CORP. (FORMERLY ORO X MINING CORP.) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) For the three months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
business operations when they come due. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.
COVID-19
The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has led to adverse impacts on the Canadian and global economies, disruptions of financial markets, and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts to the Corporation. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Corporation’s suppliers and vendors and the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local and federal governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The management team is closely following the progression of COVID-19 and its potential impact on the Corporation. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Corporation may experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future. Therefore, the Corporation cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time our business, liquidity, capital resources and financial results.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries listed in the following table below.
A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company has control, directly or indirectly, where control is defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise to obtain benefits from its activities. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in the consolidated financial statements in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in

SILVER X MINING CORP. (FORMERLY ORO X MINING CORP.) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) For the three months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the consolidated statement of financial position date 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:
-
The carrying value and recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets
-
The inputs in accounting for share-based payments;
Management must make judgments given the various options available as per accounting standards for items included in the consolidated financial statements. Judgments involve a degree of uncertainty and could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual events differ from a judgment made. A summary of items involving management judgment include, but are not limited to:
-
The determination of the Company’s and its subsidiary’s functional currency requires management’s judgment of the underlying transactions, events and conditions relevant to the entity.
-
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company.
Assets or cash-generating units are evaluated at each reporting date to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. The Company considers both internal and external sources of information when making the assessment of whether there are indications of impairment for the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets.
In respect of costs incurred for its investment in exploration and evaluation assets, management has determined the acquisition costs that have been capitalized are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit including geologic and metallurgic information, economics assessment/ studies, accessible facilities and existing permits.
- Share-based compensation expense is measured by reference to the fair value of the stock options at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for granted stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility, dividend yield, and rate of forfeitures and making assumptions about them. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the share-based compensation.
4. LOAN RECEIVABLE – MMTP
On May 26, 2021, the Company advanced a US$120,000 ($145,885) bridge loan to MMTP (the “Loan”). As at May 31, 2021, the Loan was revalued to $144,864 resulting in a foreign exchange loss of $1,021. The Loan is secured through a pledge of all the shares of a wholly-owned MMTP subsidiary.
The maturity date (“Maturity Date”) is earlier of:
-
i) May 19, 2022, or
-
ii) 60 days from the termination of the Transaction (see note 13(a)).

SILVER X MINING CORP. (FORMERLY ORO X MINING CORP.) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) For the three months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and other receivables. The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash with large financial institutions. The Company does not have cash invested in asset-based commercial paper.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The value of financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates and other market prices. Management closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company’s operations in Canada, Ecuador and Peru creates exposure to foreign currency fluctuation. Some of the Company’s operating expenditures are incurred in US dollars, and the fluctuation of the US dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar will have an impact upon the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks.
A portion of the Company’s cash, receivables and accounts payable and accruals are denominated in the US dollar and are therefore subject to fluctuation in exchange rates, a 10% change in foreign exchange rates would have a nominal effect to the Company’s operations.
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.
As at May 31, 2021, the Company does not have any interest bearing borrowings. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash held with Canadian financial institutions. The Company considers this risk to be nominal.

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, currency risk, or equity price risk. The Company is not exposed to any other price risk.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped in Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
Determination of Fair Value
When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
The carrying amounts for receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximate fair values due to their short-term nature. Cash is measured using level one of the fair value hierarchy.
11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to advance its mineral property and pursue growth opportunities. The Company defines its capital as shareholders’ equity (deficiency). The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it to effectively support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to pay for limited property care and maintenance and general administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing capital resources. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended May 31, 2021. The Company’s investment policy is to hold cash in interest-bearing bank accounts or highly liquid short-term interestbearing investments with maturities of one year or less and which can be liquidated at any time without penalties. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and does not have exposure to asset-backed commercial paper or similar products.
The Company expect its current capital resources to be sufficient to cover its operating costs through the next twelve months. However, to mitigate such risk, the Company will obtain additional capital resources. Actual funding requirements may vary from those previously planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of the Company’s business activities and economic condition.
