Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

(Unaudited – in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise noted)

 

 

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

Highlander Silver Corp. (the “Company” or “Highlander”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s head office is located at 2500 – 100 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5X 1A9. Its records office is located at 1200 - 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2T8. Its main business activity is the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties located in Peru. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s common shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “HSLV”.

 

The Company has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain mineral reserves that are economically viable. The Company’s continued operations, and the underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests, are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves of the Company and those in which it holds a mineral property or shareholder interest. The continued exploration and development of projects will depend on it receiving future cash flows from its ability to obtain share capital financing.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. As an exploration stage company, the Company does not have traditional revenue sources, and has historically relied on property option or sale proceeds, as well as share capital financing, to fund its property acquisition, exploration and evaluation expenditures, and operating expenses.

 

As at December 31, 2024, the Company had equity of $10,988,572 (September 30, 2024 – $10,945,987) and a working capital deficiency of $266,455 (September 30, 2024 – working capital surplus of $756,931). The Company has financed its operations primarily through the issuance of common shares. The Company will continue to require additional funding to maintain its ongoing exploration programs, property maintenance payments, and operations and administration for the next twelve months. The Company also recognizes that exploration expenditures may change with ongoing results and, as a result, it may be required to obtain additional financing.

 

On February 19, 2025, the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement with Ventum Financial Corp. as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal private placement basis, 17,857,200 common shares of the Company at a price of $1.40 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000,080 (the “Offering”), and an option which allows the Underwriters to purchase up to an additional 15% of the common shares issued in the Offering (the “Underwriters’ Option”), on the same terms as the Offering. On February 20, 2025, the Company announced that the Offering was upsized to 20,000,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $28,000,000, before accounting for the Underwriters’ Option. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the advancement of exploration activities at the Company’s San Luis Project in Peru, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Offering is scheduled to close on March 11, 2025.

 

On October 17, 2023, the Company consolidated its issued share capital on a ratio of two (2) old common shares for every one (1) new post-consolidated common share (the “Share Consolidation”). The current and comparative references to the common shares, weighted average number of common shares, loss per share, acquisitions, stock options and warrants have been restated to give effect to this Share Consolidation.

2.STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Statement of compliance

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS 34”), Interim Financial Reporting, and do not include all of the information required for annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

 

Summary of material accounting policies

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s most recent annual financial statements, except as described below, and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2024.

 

Material accounting judgments and significant estimates and uncertainties

 

The material judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2024, are consistent with those applied in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024.

 

New accounting policies issued but not yet effective

 

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. The amendments are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2024, with earlier application permitted. The Company has reviewed these updates and the amendment that is applicable to the Company is discussed below:

 

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

 

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statement aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss, in particular additional defined subtotals, disclosures about management-defined performance measures and new principles for aggregation of information. IFRS 18 is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. IFRS 18 is effective from January 1, 2027. Companies are permitted to apply for IFRS 18 before that date. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 3, 2025.

The Company’s wholly-owned projects are comprised of the rights to explore various mineral claims and tenures at various stages of exploration. Unless otherwise noted they are not subject to any option or sale agreements. Certain of the claims are subject to a net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”), as detailed below.

 

San Luis Project

 

The San Luis Project is a gold-silver exploration property located in the Ancash department of central Peru. The Company acquired the project on May 23, 2024, through the purchase of 100% of the shares of Reliant Ventures S.A.C., which holds the rights to the San Luis Project.

 

As part of the acquisition agreement, the Company agreed to pay SSR Mining an initial cash payment US$5,000,000 ($6,978,100) paid in cash (paid) and up to US$37,500,000 in contingent consideration upon the achievement of specific project milestones. These milestones include the commencement of drilling, completion of a feasibility study, and milestones related to commercial production. Additionally, SSR Mining retained a 4% net NSR on the project. The Company has the option to buy back 2% of this royalty for US$15,000,000 at any time prior to the commencement of mine construction.

c)Warrants

 

As an incentive to complete a private placement the Company may issue units which include common shares and common share purchase warrants. Using the residual value method, the Company determines whether a value should be allocated to the warrants attached to private placement units. Finders’ warrants may be issued as a private placement share issue cost and are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

A continuity of the Company’s shares issuable for Company’s warrants is as follows:

 

   Number of
warrants
   Weighted
average exercise
price
 
Outstanding, September 30, 2023   –   $– 
Issued   30,000,000    0.15

Outstanding, September 30, 2024   29,975,000   $0.15 
Exercised   (25,000)   0.15 
Outstanding, December 31, 2024   29,950,000   $0.15 

 

The remaining contractual life (years) of the outstanding warrants is 1.8 years.

These services have been provided through a management company equally owned by the related companies. Costs incurred by the management company are allocated and funded by the shareholders of the management company based on time incurred and use of services. All of the parties have jointly entered into a rental agreement for office space. If the Company’s participation in the arrangement is terminated, the Company will be obligated to pay its share of the rent payments for the remaining term of the office space rental agreement. The Company’s obligation for future rental payments if the Company’s participation in the arrangement was terminated on December 31, 2024, was approximately $54,600 (September 30, 2024 – $nil), determined based on the Company’s average share of rent paid in the immediately preceding 12 months.

9.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK EXPOSURE AND RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and currency risk.

 

a)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s financial assets.

 

The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents, receivables, reclamation deposit and value-added tax receivable. Credit risk exposure is limited through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. The carrying value of these financial assets of $2,068,454 represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

 

b)Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

 

Fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on the Company’s operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, every 1% fluctuation in interest rates up or down would have had an insignificant impact on profit or loss.

 

c)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure its expenditures will not exceed available resources.

   < 1 Year   1-3 Years   Total

Consideration payable   1,798,625    1,798,625    3,597,250 
Office rent obligations   84,200    161,300    245,500

   $4,222,973   $1,959,925   $6,182,898 

 

d)Foreign currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to currency risk on transactions and balances in currencies other than the functional currency. At December 31, 2024, the Company had not entered into any contracts to manage foreign exchange risk.

 

As at December 31, 2024 all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was held either in Canadian dollars, US dollars or Peruvian Soles. The Company incurs expenditures in Canada and Peru, and as such is exposed to currency risk associated with these costs.

 

A change in the value of the Peruvian Soles by 10% relative to the Canadian dollar would not have a significant impact on the Company’s working capital and net loss for three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
