Description of Business
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta on June 21, 1996 and continued into the Province of British Columbia and changed its name to CMC Metals Ltd. from Bellevue Capital Corp., on July 4, 2005. The Company was extra-territorially registered in the Yukon on September 14, 2005, and Newfoundland and Labrador on April 1, 2021.
On April 7, 2010, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, 0877887 B.C. Ltd. ("0877887 B.C."), under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. On April 12, 2012, the Company incorporated in the state of California, a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary, CMC Metals Corp.
On November 30, 2023, pursuant to the sale agreement dated September 15, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, 0877887 B.C. Ltd., and all of assets, rights and responsibilities of the Bishop mill located in California, United States, with 1436132 B.C. Ltd. ("Purchaser"), a private Canadian company. However, the Purchaser was unable to meet the terms of the agreement and therefore, on March 29, 2024, the Purchaser entered into a binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") agreement with North Bay Resources Inc. ("NBRI"), a public company listed on the OTC-US market, to acquire 55.5% of 0877887 B.C. Ltd. and all assets, rights, and responsibilities of the Bishop mill from the Purchaser. NBRI will assume certain obligations of the sale agreement between the Company and the Purchaser.
These condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a

process of forced liquidation. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to obtain continued financial support, raise adequate financing and to fund profitable operations in the future.
Discussion of Operations and Financial Condition
Operations Summary
The Company has properties in British Columbia, Yukon and Newfoundland. It is primarily focussed on pursuing high grade silver polymetallic deposits and is also involved in properties with potential for gold mineralization.
British Columbia and Yukon
The Company has three properties in the Rancheria Silver District that is a 130 km long by 50 km wide belt that straddles the Yukon and British Columbia border. These are Silver Hart (including the Silver Hart and Blue Heaven claims) in Yukon and the Amy and Silverknife properties in B.C.. The Rancheria Silver District is located approximately 300 km east of Whitehorse, Yukon.
CMC has been targeting exploration efforts in the Rancheria Silver District with the objective of discovering high-grade silver-lead-zinc-critical mineral carbonate replacement ("CRD") style deposits similar to the Silvertip mine located immediately adjacent to the Silverknife property.
CMC has been actively exploring the northern end of this silver district at its Silver Hart property since 2005. In 2024 it acquired an 80% interest in the Blue Heaven claims which are immediately adjacent to, and congruent with the Silver Hart claims. The remaining 20% of the Blue Heaven claims is owned by Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSX-V:SMD). In 2024 CMC contracted MICON International Ltd. to complete a new NI43-101 Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate on the identified deposits on the Silver Hart claims. The new MRE totals an Inferred resource of 8.820 Moz @ 145.2 g/t silver equivalent ("AgEq") in 1,889,000 tonnes utilizing a cut-off grade of 50 g/t AgEq (See table 1). This MRE has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Further details on the new mineral resource estimate at Silver Hart and the use of the above-mentioned parameters are provided in the NI 43-101 report by MICON International Limited who undertook the MRE estimate on behalf of the Company posted on SEDAR+.
The Company now plans to examine the feasibility of developing small scale open pits at Silver Hart utilizing ore sorting technologies to enhance ore grades. Ore sorting processes are environmentally friendly as they do not require any chemical reagents. These operations also have low capital and operating expenditure requirements. The upgraded ore would then be transported to a mill for final processing. In the next 3-5 years, the Company plans to undertake a number of studies to determine the economics of this mining approach for the deposits at Silver Hart. It also hopes to establish a partnership approach in the project with local First Nations and communities. The Company is seeking to generate cash-flow producing entities in the medium term utilizing this mining and processing approach in the medium term.
In 2024, the Company also acquired a 100% interest in the Silverknife and Amy properties. It optioned Silverknife to Coeur Mining Inc., a major precious metals producer and owner of the Silvertip Mine located within the Rancheria Silver District and immediately adjacent to the east of the Silverknife Property. The deal provides considerable cash payments to the Company and requires considerable investment in exploration on the Silverknife Property by Coeur to the year 2028 to earn an initial interest of 75%. Subsequent payments and/or expenditures are then required by
CMC METALS LTD.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ("MD&A")

Coeur to earn full interest of the property. CMC retains a right to purchase a 1% NSR interest on the property. Full details of the deal were presented in a Press Release dated November 20, 2024 and on the Company website at www.cmcmetals.ca.
In 2024 the Company also completed its preliminary examination of the Amy property and the property is now at the drill ready stage. Permitting for exploration and drilling activities is underway and the application is expected to be submitted for approval by end of January, 2025. Plans to drill the property are underway and it is expected that drilling will commence in Q3/Q4 2025. Results to date indicate that the property has considerable potential to host a high-grade silver-gold-lead-zinc carbonate replacement deposit. The property is located approximately 8km west of the Silvertip Mine and demonstrates features characteristic of carbonate replacement deposits.
The Company also 100 percent owns the Logjam property in south-central Yukon which has identified gold and silver potential with an epithermal vein-style target. The Logjam property is available for option.
The Company also has a 100 percent interest in the Bridal Veil property, located a mere 15 kilometers east of the Newfoundland and Newfound Gold Inc. Queensway project. Bridal Vein has been identified by the Newfoundland Geological Survey as having the potential to host orogenic gold. CMC has identified several gold in soil/till anomalies on the property and plans to undertake a small exploration program on the property in 2025 to try and identify the source of the gold in soil anomalies.
Bishop Mill Processing Facility, Bishop, California
As of November 30, 2023, following the sale of its subsidiary 0877887 BC Ltd, the Company no longer owns the Bishop Mill Property. It is currently receiving a stream of payments in terms of cash and/or shares. As a result it currently holds 1.1 billion common shares of North Bay Resources Inc. The Company intends to monetize these shares in an orderly fashion, commencing in Q2-2025 to help fund ongoing operation and exploration expenses.
Liquidity & Capital Resources
As at December 31, 2024, the Company had working capital of $238,520 (September 30, 2024 working capital – $193,702), had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $30,384,996 (September 30, 2024 - $30,772,874) since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company believes that the current capital resources is not sufficient to pay overhead expenses and its exploration expenditure commitment for the next twelve months and will need to seek additional funding for overhead expenses and any future commitments. The Company will continue to monitor the current economic and financial market conditions and evaluate their impact on the Company's liquidity and future prospects.
Since the Company will not be able to generate cash from its operations in the foreseeable future, the Company will have to rely on the issuance of shares, shares for debt, loans and related party loans to fund ongoing operations and investments. The ability of the Company to raise capital will depend on market conditions and it may not be possible for the Company to issue shares on acceptable terms or at all.

Risk, Uncertainties and Outlook
The business of mineral deposit exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored ultimately become producing mines.
The ability to raise working capital directly impacts the ability of the Company to undertake any planned exploration programs. Currently sufficient work has been undertaken on all of its current mineral property interests for a number of years, however, if the Company is unable to perform sufficient exploration work in future years or with exploration partners, it may be necessary to write-down additional mineral property interests in future periods. The Company’s exploration activities and its potential mining and processing operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, contractor availability, commodity prices, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational safety and health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety and other matters. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all material laws and regulations which currently apply to its activities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all permits required for exploration, any future development and construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations on reasonable terms or that new legislation or modifications to existing legislation, would not have an adverse effect on any exploration or mining project which the Company might undertake.
The Company has been performing reclamation activities on an on-going basis. As such, management feels that there is no significant reclamation liability outstanding on properties owned by the Company.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on its ability to obtain additional financing. Several adverse conditions cast significant doubt on the validity of this assumption. The current financial equity market conditions and the inhospitable funding environment make it difficult to raise funds by private placements of shares. The junior resource industry has been severely adversely affected by the world economic situation, as it is considered to be a high-risk investment. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with any financing ventures. It is dependent upon the continuing financial support of shareholders and obtaining financing to continue exploration of its mineral property interests. While the Company is expending its best efforts to achieve its plans by examining various financing alternatives including reorganizations, mergers, sales of assets, and settlement of debts by share issuances, or other form of equity financing, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of, and classification of liabilities that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material. The amounts shown as mineral properties and related deferred costs represent costs net of recoveries to date, less amounts written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values. Recoverability of the amounts shown for

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ("MD&A")

mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties, the ability of the Company to obtain financing necessary to complete the exploration and development of its mineral property interests, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral property interests.
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company's primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts. The majority of cash is deposited in bank accounts held with one major bank in Canada. As most of the Company's cash is held in one bank there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using major banks that are high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies. The Company's secondary exposure to risk is on its other receivables and reclamation bond. This risk is minimal as receivables consist primarily of refundable government goods and services taxes and the reclamation bond is held with government authorities.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis.
Historically, the Company's sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company's access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.
The Company has a working capital of $193,702 as at September 30, 2024 (2023 working capital deficiency - $578,067). Liquidity risk is assessed as high.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company's subsidiary is not exposed to material currency risk as its functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Interest earned on cash is at nominal interest rates and therefore, the Company does not consider interest rate risk to be significant.
Capital management
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity, comprising share capital, net of accumulated deficit. There were no changes in the Company's approach to
