Three months Ended March 31, 2025, vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

During the first quarter of 2025, Silver X earned its first pre-tax profit, continuing to reduce losses primarily due to:

  • A 10% increase in net operating revenues from the sale of concentrate ($5.3M compared to $4.8M in the prior period) mainly due to a 6% increase in ore processed and higher average realized prices of silver of $31.6/oz in 1Q25 against $24.2/oz in 1Q24.
  • A lower cost of sales from $4.8M in 1Q24 to $4.5M in 1Q25, representing a reduction of $0.3M. This decrease is primarily attributed to an 81% reduction in depreciation expense, driven by the increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, which is the basis for depreciation. The reduction was partially offset by an 18% increase in mining and processing costs during the quarter.
  • Operating income saw a significant increase, reaching $786K in 1Q25 compared to $6K in 1Q24, mainly driven by higher sales and reduced depreciation.
  • In 1Q25, net loss was $0.3M, a 73% improvement compared to the loss of $1.2M made in 1Q24.
  • EBITDA improved to $0.4M compared to $0.3M reported in 1Q24, representing a 35% increase over the same period one year ago (refer to Non-IFRS Financial Measures).
  • Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.9 million in 1Q25 mainly due to the private placement that closed on March 13, 2025.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025, vs. Three Months Ended December 31, 2024

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded:

  • Net income before tax of $20K, compared to a net loss before tax of $938K in the three months ended December 31, 2024.
  • EBITDA of $403K, compared to an EBITDA loss of $286K in the three months ended December 31, 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $409K, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $424K in the three months ended December 31, 2024.

The significant decrease in loss in the current period was primarily due:

  • A reduction in net loss by $565K compared to 4Q24, primarily driven by lower cost of sales (29%), partially offset by lower net operating revenue (10%). Consequently, EBITDA improved by 241% compared to the previous quarter.
  • Cost of sales decreased by $1.8M (29%), from $6.3M in 4Q24 to $4.5M this past quarter, primarily attributed to a 26% reduction in mining and processing costs and a 59% reduction in depreciation expense, resulting from the increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources as the basis for depreciation and.

Net operating revenue increased by 17% in 4Q24, rising to $5.8M from $5.0M in 3Q24, primarily due to higher production and higher metal prices. The net loss decreased by $1.3M compared to 3Q24, driven by higher net operating revenue (+$0.9M) and lower general and administrative expense (+$0.2M) and lower share-based payments (+$0.2M). Consequently, EBITDA remain steady at a negative of $0.3M on the two quarters.

Net operating revenue decreased by 20% in 3Q24, falling to $5.0M from $6.2M in 2Q24, primarily due to lower volume sold, although this was partially offset by higher metal prices. The net loss decreased by $2.0M compared to 3Q24, driven by lower net operating revenue (-$1.3M), higher share-based payments (-$0.2) and gain on settlement of accounts payable in 2Q24 (-$1.1M), which was partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses (+$0.4M). Consequently, EBITDA decreased by ($2.2M) from negative $1.9M in 2Q24 to negative $0.3M in 3Q24.

Net operating revenue increased by 31% in 2Q24, rising to $6.2M from $4.8M in 1Q24, primarily due to higher volume sold and metal prices. The net loss decreased by $1.0M compared to 2Q24, driven by higher net operating revenue (+$1.5M), gain on settlement of accounts payable (+$1.0M) in 2Q24, which was partially offset by higher cost of sales (-$0.9M), higher general and administrative cost (-$0.3M) and higher finance cost (-$0.2M). Consequently, EBITDA remain steady at a negative of $0.3M on the two quarters.

Net operating revenue increased by 10% in 1Q24, rising to $4.3M from $4.8M in 4Q23, primarily due to higher production and higher metal prices. The net loss decreased by $6.1M compared to 4Q23, driven by higher net operating revenue (+$0.4M), lower cost of sales (+$0.6M), impairment of exploration and evaluation assets (+$4.4M) in 4Q23, and lower deferred income tax expense (+$2.0M). Consequently, EBITDA improves by 106% from negative $5.2M in 4Q23 to positive $0.3M in 1Q24.

Net operating revenue increased by 108% in 4Q23, rising to $4.3M from $2.1M in 3Q23, primarily due to higher volume. The net loss increased by $6.1M compared to 3Q24, driven by impairment of exploration and evaluation assets (-$4.4M) and increased in deferred tax expense (-$2.5M). Consequently, EBITDA decline by 198% from negative $1.7M in 3Q23 to $5.2M in 4Q23.

Net operating revenue decreased by 55% in 3Q23, falling to $2.1M from $4.7M in 2Q23, primarily due to lower volume. The net loss decreased by $0.9M compared to 2Q23, driven mainly by lower operating revenue. Consequently, EBITDA decline from negative $0.6M in 2Q23 to negative $1.7M.

1 AgEq ounces processed and produced were calculated based on all metals processed and produced using the average market prices of each metal for each month during the period. Revenues from concentrate sales do not consider metallurgical recoveries in the calculations as the metal recoveries are built into the sales amounts.
2 Average Realized Price, production cost per tonne processed, AgEq sold, cash cost per AgEq ounce produced and AISC per AgEq ounce produced are non-IFRS ratios with no standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. For further information, including detailed reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures, see "Non-IFRS Measures" in this news release and the MD&A.
3 Realized price corresponds to the average sales prices for each metal to the final customer.


Average Realized Price

Average realized price is a non-IFRS financial measure. The Company uses "average realized price per ounce of silver", "average realized price per ounce of gold", "average realized price per ounce of zinc" and "average realized price per ounce of lead" because it understands that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company's performance as compared with average market prices of metals for the year.

Average realized metal prices represent the sale price of the metal and corresponds to the average sale prices for each metal during the period in question, which may include adjustments from past periods when final contractual price is determined on an M+1 basis.

Net operating revenue increased by 10% from $4.8M in 1Q24 to $5.3M in 1Q25, mainly due to higher sales volume and mineral prices. There was a decline in net operating revenue by 10% from $5.8M in 4Q24 to $5.3M in 1Q25 due to lower volume sold.

Transportation costs increased from $70K in 1Q24 to $132K in 1Q25 due to more shipments of Zinc concentrate and an increase in fees of $0.05/T. The transportation cost in 4Q24 was consistent with 1Q25.

Sustaining capital expenditures increased by 26% from $0.8M in 1Q24 to $1.0M in 1Q25 and by 20% from $0.8M in 4Q24 to $1.0M in 1Q25 due to increased development during the current period.

To improve the accuracy and presentation of AISC calculations, Silver X refined the composition of General & Administrative Expense in sustaining cost, excluding discretionary costs for business development, investor relations and share-based compensation. For comparative purposes, the prior period was recalculated based on the revised methodology, resulting in an AISC of $27.5 per AgEq ounce for the three months ending March 31, 2025. This represents a 39.4% increase compared to $19.7 for the same period in 2024, and a 7.5% decrease compared to $29.7 for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Additionally, AISC per tonne processed increased by 5.9% when comparing the same period in 2024, rising from $155.2 in 1Q24 to $164.4 in 1Q25. This measure improved by 12%, from $186.9 in 4Q24 to $164.4 in 1Q25.

The capital expenditure deployed in the development of the Tangana Mining Unit during the period was the main cost contributor to AISC. Investment in sustainable CAPEX enables the Company to access new production fronts and transition to higher head-grade areas.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 For the three months ended March 31, 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities 85,845 1,114,105
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 1,873,568 (256,159)
Net cash used in investing activities (1,345,823) (942,581)
Net change 619,534 (189,485)
Cash, end of period $ 1,403,963 $ 295,417

Cash provided by operating activities for three months ended March 31, 2025, was $0.1M compared to $1.1M for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Cash provided by financing activities for three months ended March 31, 2025, was $1.9M compared to $0.3M cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the private placement offerings in March 2025 of $2.4M.

Cash used in investing activities for three months ended March 31, 2025, was higher at $1.3M compared to $0.9M cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as the Company continued to invest in the development of the Tangana mining unit. The Company invested $1.2M in mineral property and $0.2M in the purchase of property, plant and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

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. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it to effectively support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.

11


The property on which the Company currently has an interest is in the exploration, development, and production 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. The Company monitors its cash, investments, common shares, and stock options as capital. There have been no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company's investment policy is to hold cash in interest-bearing bank accounts or highly liquid short-term interest-bearing 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 actively monitors its trade payables and engages in discussions with third-party service and goods providers to explore repayment options for balances that are, or may become, overdue. This allows the Company to effectively allocate its available capital resources and maintain the continuity of its operations.

The Company does not expect its current capital resources to be sufficient to cover its capital expenditure and corporate general and administrative expenditure through the next 12 months and as such will need to 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.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 9, 2025, the Company announced the filing of its independent technical report (the "Report") prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). This report substantiates the significant increase in the mineral resource estimate for the Nueva Recuperada Project located in Huancavelica, Peru announced on February 26, 2025. The Report, with an effective date of October 1, 2024, reflects notable increases in both measured and indicated resources, as well as substantial growth in inferred resources, particularly at the Plata Mining Unit (PMU).

NUEVA RECUPERADA PROPERTY, PERU

Overview

The Nueva Recuperada Property (the "Project") lies in the heart of Peru's premier silver-gold-lead-zinc belt. This large geological system encompasses hundreds of epithermal intermediate sulfidation veins containing medium to high-grade of silver rich polymetallic mineralization, in more than 500 km of outcrop veins. The Project was assembled through acquisitions from major silver producers such as Compañia de Minas Buenaventura SAA, Pan American Silver Corporation, Barrick Gold Corporation and Peruvian Metals Corporation, among other companies. The project includes: (i) the Tangana Mining Unit ("Tangana" or "TMU"), a precious- and base-metal operation located in the northern portion of the Project, comprised of more than 100 veins spanning an area of more than 6,500 hectares, and (ii) the Plata Mining Area ("PMU"), an advanced project formerly referred to as Esperanza. The Plata Mining Unit is a grouping of historic silver-polymetallic veins, with significant exploration upside in the southern portion of the Project, comprised of more than 200 veins often with intense anatomizing, spanning an area of more than 7,000 hectares: (iii) and the Red Silver Mining Unit (RMU), a high-grade silver target in exploration with some historic production. As at October 1, 2024, the Nueva Recuperada Project has a combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 4.3 million tonnes with grades of 102.02 g/t Ag, 0.57 g/t Au, 1.88% Pb and 2.22% Zn, and an estimated 17.2 million tonnes of Inferred Resources at grades of 159.25 g/t Ag, 0.04 g/t Au, 2.05% Pb, 2.04% Zn and includes a 720 tonnes per day ("TPD"), fully permitted, fully operational processing facility that began processing ore in 2019.

Tangana Mining Unit (TMU) – Silver, Gold, Lead & Zinc

Silver X started the development of the Tangana Mining Unit in late 2021 and is targeting an extraction rate of over 600 TPD of high-grade mineralization from multiple mining faces. There are, dozens of veins in this mining unit.

The Tangana vein system is extensive, hosting an estimated Measured and Indicated Resource of 2.87 million tonnes grading 69.98 g/t Ag, 0.84 g/t Au, 1.61% Pb and 1.49% Zn, and an Inferred Resource of 2,862,074 tonnes grading 70.43 g/t Ag, 0.25 g/t Au, 1.42% Pb and 1.50% Zn and combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 2,868,535 tonnes grading 69.98 g/t Ag, 0.84 g/t Au, 1.61% Pb and 1.49% Zn.

Polymetallic vein resources at the Tangana Mining Unit are hosted in both igneous-volcanic and sedimentary rocks. The Tangana mine and its veins are in a large zone of andesitic volcanics and domes that hosts the majority of the Tangana mining unit's identified resources (1+ metre average width veins). The Tangana vein mineralization is of epithermal character grading into mesothermal at depth, of low to intermediate sulphidation mineralizing events. Native gold mineralization is encountered throughout the Tangana vein mineralization. Upgrades to the Nueva Recuperada plant to enhance gold recoveries were completed. During 2Q24, Silver X began mining operations at Morlupo and plans to recuperate the Blenda Rubia (BR) satellite mine. Both structures are hosting high-grade mineralization.

A gold and silver-rich corridor within the Tangana system was identified crossing the various veins, as published in various news releases, copies of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.ca. Silver X intends to explore and develop that corridor in 2024 to provide additional resources of higher-value mineralization.

The San Antonio vein in its southeastern half is primarily hosted in carbonate formations and is of moderate to thick widths (2 to 10 metres, at a 4-metre average width) of mineralized vein breccia with minor carbonate replacement. This mineralization has been mined since 2019. To the northwest, the San Antonio vein is hosted by andesitic volcanics and domes and has an average width on surface of 1.4 metres.


The Positivas vein system is an area of 2.5 kilometres long by 200 metres wide of several tensional veins in a dilutional wrench zone, comprising epithermal veins in volcanic and sedimentary rocks ranging from 0.3 to 3 metres wide and currently being developed by two small contactors, with the production processed at the Company's mill.

The Tangana area encompasses several areas of well-known mineralization that the Company intends to bring together as a high-growth mining unit. The Company announced on February 14, 2023, a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the potential expansion of the Tangana mining unit.

The PEA proposed a potential plan for expanding production from this area. Highlights from the PEA include:

  • Life of Mine ("LOM") potential of 12 years at a capacity of 1,500 TPD based on a resource inventory of 5.75Mt, of which 1.75Mt corresponds to Measured Resources, 0.49Mt corresponds to Indicated Resources and 3.51Mt corresponds to Inferred Resources.
  • Average annual production of 4.2 million ounces ("Moz") of silver equivalent ("AgEq")¹ with circa 5Moz AgEq mined assuming the expansion of both processing capacity and the mine.
  • Robust economics with an After-Tax NPV of $175 million at 10% discount rate and After-Tax IRR of 39%.
  • LOM Cash Costs of $8.80/oz AgEq and LOM All-In Sustaining Costs ("AISC")² of $16.2/0oz AgEq.
  • Initial Capex of $61 million, including 20% contingency, for the new processing facility, dry-stacked tailings and mine development.

Plata Mining Area (PMU) – Silver, Lead & Zinc

The Plata Mining Area (formerly Esperanza) was the last historical operation to close when the Project was under Buenaventura's management and hosts an estimated 5,394,620 tonne Inferred Resource grading 149.92 g/t Ag, 1.98% Pb and 3.35% Zn, and a 950,970 tonne Indicated Resource grading 190.04 g/t Ag, 2.44% Pb and 4.24% Zn. There is an abundance of mineralized veins in this mining unit and geological evidence for both intermediate and high-sulphidation alteration and mineralization. Historical drilling and recent surface mapping provide convincing evidence for significant exploration upside.

Plata is the development priority for the Company as it contains high-grade polymetallic mineralization as demonstrated in the NI 43-101 Technical Report Resource Assessment issued on February 15, 2025

Red Silver – Silver Project

Red Silver hosts a reported 1,908,725 tonne inferred resource grading 496.10 g/T Ag, 0.21% Pb and 0.34% Zn. The Company conducted a bulk sampling programme in 2021 and plans to drill this silver-rich epithermal vein system in 2025. Red Silver is a high-grade silver resource and will be subject to exploration activities in 2025-26.

Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Update

Silver X is in the process of updating the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") for its Nueva Recuperada Property, which is necessary for the expansion of operations. Nueva Recuperada currently operates within the medium size Peruvian mining regime (350 TPD to 5,000 TPD) and is seeks to expand its permitted capacity to 1,500 TPD. This includes the possibility of building a new 1,500 TPD processing plant at Tangana and expanding Nueva Recuperada's existing processing plant from the current 720 TPD to 1,000 TPD.

The ESIA is a key component of a comprehensive environmental and social permitting process for the Tangana Mining Unit. The assessment covers a total study area of 4,900 hectares, including associated mining infrastructure and the existing tailings facility. Key components of the updated ESIA include a further expansion of production capacity at the Company's mineral processing plant and a new 8,000,000 m³ capacity tailings storage facility with the objective of increasing silver production at Nueva Recuperada to 6 M silver equivalent ounces per year.

Additionally, in May 2024 the company signed a 15-year social contract with the community of Carhuapata in Huancavelica, Peru. This new social contract gives Silver X access to the entire Plata Mining Area. This follows the 12-year agreement signed with the community of Huachocolpa in November 2023, so that the entirety of the Company's tenements is now covered by agreements with local communities, an important part of the ESIA.

Vision for the Project and Expanded Processing Plant Capacity

The Company's vision is to expand the annual production capacity of the district beyond 6 million ounces of silver equivalent within the next few years. With a solid growing resource, there is an opportunity to establish two mining areas at similar levels of production from Plata and Tangana. With the new mineral resource updated, a further PEA is planned to be commissioned aiming to look at scenarios that combine the production capacity of the Plata and Tangana mining units.

The PEA will investigate both the possibility of building an additional new mill in addition to the existing processing plant as well as the expansion of the current processing facility which is centrally located and have the two mines feeding to the same location. Additionally, the Company has been undertaking ore sorting tests results from which suggest the potential that ore sorting could be incorporated as part of the process allowing increased throughput without the need to expand the current beneficiation plant substantially.

Company Gold Projects in Peru

The district of Nueva Recuperada is host to a number of gold opportunities as gold mineralization seems to appear on a strike along the Chonta fault. The two main gold projects are Carboncuyocc and Ccasahuasi. Carboncuyocc is an epithermal gold anomaly, adjacent to the Plata mining area, which could be host for a disseminated gold deposit.

Ccasahuasi is a gold-polymetallic project adjacent to Tangana with the potential to become a near-production gold target if initial findings are confirmed through drilling and development. Ccasahuasi is comprised of the Ichupata 14 and the Lily 19 claims. In 2021, the Company entered into an earn-in agreement with Barrick Gold Corp. ("Barrick") to acquire the Lily 19 claims.

Under the terms of the earn-in agreement, to acquire a 100% interest in the Lily 19 claims, Silver X must:

  • Complete at least 3,000 metres of diamond drilling in the concession
  • Map and sample the surface of the concession
  • Maintain the claims in good standing
  • Make a one-time payment of USD$25,000 (paid)

The above must be achieved within four (4) years of the date of signing, or two (2) years from receiving a drilling permit for the property. Furthermore, Barrick will retain a 2% NSR, of which 1% can be bought back for USD$2,000,000.

The Company intends to perform drilling to expand known mineralization at depth and to evaluate additional zones of mineralization, together with a surface sampling campaign that will step out from the west to assess the precious metal potential on the advanced argillic altered subvolcanic rocks.

In June 2024, the Company decided not to renew the option on the Coriorcco and Las Antas project, after deciding to concentrate on more prospective exploration projects. The Project was fully impaired on December 31, 2023.

NON-IFRS PERFORMANCE MEASURES

We have included certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios in this MD&A, as discussed below. We believe that these measures, in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. The non-IFRS measures and ratios are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

"EBITDA" is comprised as income (loss) less interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful indicator for investors, and is used by management, in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. See "Reconciliation of Net (Loss) / Income to Adjusted EBITDA" for a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure.

"Adjusted EBITDA" is comprised as income (loss) less interest, income tax, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, and foreign exchange gain (loss). Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator for investors, and is used by management, in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. See "Reconciliation of Net (Loss) / Income to Adjusted EBITDA" for a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure.

Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Cost ("AISC")

The Company uses cash costs, cash costs per AgEq ounce produced, AISC, and AISC per AgEq ounce produced to manage and evaluate its operating performance in addition to IFRS measure because Company believes that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS do not fully illustrate the ability of its operations to generate cash flows. The Company understands that certain investors use these measures to determine the Company's ability to generate earnings and cash flows for use in investing and other activities. Management and certain investors also use this information to evaluate the Company's performance relative to peers who present this measure on a similar basis.

Cash costs are calculated by starting with cost of sales, and then adding treatment and refining charges, and changes in depreciation and amortization. Total cash production costs include cost of sales, changes in ore and concentrate inventories, changes in depreciation and amortization, less transportation and other selling costs and royalties. Cash costs per AgEq ounce is calculated by dividing cash costs by the AgEq ounces produced.

AISC and AISC per AgEq ounce produced are calculated based on guidance published by the World Gold Council (and used as a standard of the Silver Institute). The Company presents AISC based on AgEq ounces produced. AISC is calculated by taking the cash costs and adding sustaining costs. Sustaining costs are defined as capital expenditures and other expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production. Management has exercised judgment in making this determination.

Production Cost Per Tonne Processed

Production cost per tonne processed is a non-IFRS measure and is calculated as the total production costs divided by the tonnes processed. A reconciliation between production cost per tonne (excluding amortization and changes in inventories) and the cost of sales is provided below. Changes in inventories are excluded from the calculation of Production Cost per Tonne Processed. Changes in inventories reflect the net cost of concentrate inventory (i) sold during the current year but produced in a previous year or (ii) produced but not sold in the current year. The Company uses Production Cost Per Tonne Processed to evaluate its operating performance in addition to IFRS measure because Company believes that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS do not fully illustrate the ability of its operations to generate cash flows. Management and certain investors also use this information to evaluate the Company's performance relative to peers who present this measure on a similar basis.


RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company operates mainly in Canada and Peru and is therefore exposed to financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company funds cash calls to its subsidiary companies outside of Canada in Canadian or US dollars, and a portion of its expenditures are incurred in local currencies. The risk is that a significant change in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar and the Peruvian sol could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. The Company is exposed to currency risk through assets and liabilities denominated in these foreign currencies. As of March 31, 2025, a 10% depreciation of the Canadian Dollar relative to the US Dollars would have decreased net financial liabilities by approximately $51,000 (December 31, 2024 - $32,000). A 10% appreciation of the Canadian Dollar relative to the US Dollar would have had the equal but opposite effect. As of March 31, 2025, a 10% depreciation of the Peruvian SOL relative to the US Dollars would have decreased net financial liabilities by approximately $698,000 (December 31, 2024 - $625,000). A 10% appreciation of the Peruvian SOL relative to the US Dollar would have had the equal but opposite effect.

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.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk consists of two components:

  • 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.
  • 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 of March 31, 2025, an 1% change in market interest rates would result in no material change in value of the assets or liabilities of the Company.

Mineral Property Exploration and Mining Risks

The business of mineral deposit exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored ultimately become producing mines. At present, the Company's properties only have mineral resources and have yet to declare any compliant mineral reserves. The main operating risks include securing adequate funding to maintain and advance exploration properties; defining mineral resources and mineral reserves, ensuring ownership of and access to mineral properties by confirmation that option agreements, claims and leases are in good standing; and obtaining permits for drilling and other exploration activities.

Inferred Mineral Resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

19


20

Title to Mineral Property Risks

The Company does not maintain insurance against title. Title on mineral properties and mining rights involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history of many mining properties. The Company has diligently investigated and continues to diligently investigate and validate title to its mineral claims; however, this should not be construed as a guarantee of title. The Company cannot give any assurance that title to properties it acquired will not be challenged or impugned and cannot guarantee that the Company will have or acquire valid title to these mineral properties.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk. Declines in the market price of silver and gold, base metals and other minerals may adversely affect cashflow from The Company's operation and The Company's ability to raise capital to fund its ongoing exploration and development or the value it may obtain on disposal of an asset. Commodity price declines could also reduce the amount the Company would receive on the disposal of its mineral properties to a third party. Refinery and treatment terms may also adversely impact the company.

Financing and Share Price Fluctuation Risks

The Company is dependent on outlining mineral resources and developing access to them so that they can be processed on a sustainable, profitable basis. Further exploration and development of the Company's project may be dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain financing through equity or debt financing or other means. Failure to obtain this financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its project which could result in the loss of its property.

Securities markets have at times in the past experienced a high degree of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly affecting those parts of a company considered to be at exploration stage, have experienced wide fluctuations in share prices which have not necessarily been related to their operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects. There can be no assurance that these kinds of share price fluctuations will not occur in the future, and if they do occur, how severe the impact may be on the Company's ability to raise additional funds through equity issues or the value of the Company's investments and corresponding effect on the Company's financial position.

Political, Regulatory and Currency Risks

The Company operates in Peru. Changing political aspects may affect the regulatory environment in which the Company operates. A significant portion of the Company's expenditures are incurred in US dollars. Currently there are no currency hedges in place. Therefore, a weakening of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar could have an adverse impact on the amount of development and exploration conducted.

South America which has specific risks that may adversely affect the Company's business and results of operations which are different from and, in many cases, greater than comparable risks associated with similar operations within North America. The political and economic environment in Peru has been unstable in the past, and the country has been subject to strikes and general civil unrest. There can be no assurance that the political or economic environment in Peru will be stable in the future. Risks associated with political or economic instability include, but are not limited to, terrorism, hostage taking, military repression, high rates of inflation, currency fluctuations and controls, crime, corruption uncertainty of the rule of law and legal systems, misuse of legal systems, labour unrest, risks of war or civil unrest, illegal mining and possible political or economic instability which may result in the impairment or loss of mineral concessions or other mineral rights. Mineral exploration and mining activities may be affected in varying degrees by political instability and government regulations relating to the mining industry.


21

Insured and Uninsured Risks

During exploration, development and production of mineral properties, the Company is subject to several hazards and risks in general, including adverse environmental conditions, operational accidents, labor disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods, and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to the Company's properties or facilities and equipment, personal injury or death, environmental damage to properties of the Company or others, delays, monetary losses, and possible legal liability.

Although the Company may maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers reasonable, its insurance may not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations. The Company may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums or for other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate future profitability and result in increased costs, have a material adverse effect on the Company's results and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.

Environmental and Social Risks

The activities of the Company are subject to environmental regulations issued and enforced by government agencies. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement and involve increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors, and employees. There can be no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations. Environmental hazards may exist on properties in which the Company holds interests which are unknown to the Company at present. Changing social expectations could add new layers of risk to the viability of exploitation, exploration, and development properties as recently experienced. Through mutually beneficial Community agreements the Company mitigates potential unrest and disputes risks with the communities where it operates.

Competition

The Company competes with many companies and individuals that have substantially greater financial and technical resources than the Company for the acquisition and development of its projects as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.

Conflict of Interest

Certain directors and officers of the Company are or may become associated with other mining and/or mineral exploration and development companies which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Directors who have a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with the Company are required to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve such a contract. In addition, directors and officers are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. Some of the directors and officers of the Company have either other full-time employment or other business or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, the Company will not be the only business enterprise of these directors and officers. Further, any failure of the directors or officers of the Company to address these conflicts in an appropriate manner or to allocate opportunities that they become aware of to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.
