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 and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. On May 13, 2025, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol HSLV. Prior to this date, the Company’s shares were listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

 

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 dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves in the mineral properties that the Company holds an interests in. The continued exploration and development of projects will depend on the Company 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 share capital financing, as well as property option or sale proceeds to fund its property acquisition, exploration and evaluation expenditures, and operating expenses.

 

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $30,294,154 (September 30, 2024 – $2,500,894). The Company has financed its operations primarily through the issuance of common shares. 

 

On March 11, 2025, the Company closed its previously announced bought deal private placement, pursuant to which the Company sold 23,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $1.40 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of $32,200,000, which includes the full exercise of the underwriters’ option of 3,000,000 shares. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of $30,036,728 from the private placement to fund the advancement of exploration activities at the Company’s San Luis gold-silver project in Peru, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

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.

 

Mineral property interests

 

Exploration and evaluation expenditures relate to costs incurred in the search for mineral resources, the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource. Exploration and evaluation activities include permitting, community engagement, exploratory drilling and sampling, surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements, and gathering of exploration data through geophysical studies.

 

The Company capitalizes significant direct costs of acquiring mineral property interests. Option payments are considered acquisition costs if the Company has the intention of exercising the underlying option.

Highlander Silver Corp.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
(Unaudited – in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise noted)
 

 

Subsequent to the acquisition of a mineral interest, exploration and evaluation costs incurred, including those related to asset retirement obligations, are expensed as incurred up to the date the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources are demonstrable for a project and on receipt of project development approval from the Board of Directors. The approval from the Board of Directors will be dependent on the Company obtaining necessary permits and licenses to develop the mineral property. At this point, exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment and then reclassified to property, plant, and equipment. Capitalized acquisition costs are assessed for impairment at least annually or when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount, with any impairment loss recognized as an expense.

 

Value-added taxes are included in exploration and evaluation costs when the recoverability of these amounts is uncertain.

 

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to exploration and evaluation properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers, non-compliance with regulatory requirements or title may be affected by undetected defects.

 

Reclassification of general and administrative expenses

 

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reclassified certain general and administrative expenses to better reflect the nature of these expenditures. Comparative figures for the prior period have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation. These changes had no impact on net loss or cash flows.

 

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 and six months ended March 31, 2025, 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.

 

3.VOLUNTARY CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

 

During the quarter, the Company has conducted a review of its accounting policy related to exploration and evaluation expenditures. Following this review, management has voluntarily elected to adopt a change in accounting policy effective January 1, 2025, to enhance the relevance and reliability of the information available to the users of the Company’s financial statements. Previously, the Company capitalized both acquisition costs and exploration and evaluation expenditures associated with its exploration and evaluation properties. Under the revised policy, the Company will continue to capitalize significant direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property interests but will now expense all exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred on its properties until such time when the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources from the mineral property are demonstrated and the project has received development approval from the Board of Directors. The change in accounting policy has been made in accordance with IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, and has been recognized on a full retrospective basis.

 

The following is a summary of the changes that impact the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as at October 1, 2023, and September 30, 2024, the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Net Loss and Comprehensive Loss and the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Cash Flows, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company’s wholly-owned projects are comprised of the rights to explore the 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.

 

a)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.

 

As at March 31, 2025, the Company recognized the following milestones payments as their occurrence is considered highly probable.

 

●Current liability of US$1,250,000 (approximately $1,687,375): Payable upon the commencement of an initial drilling program which is expected to commence by June 2025.

 

●Non-current liability of US$1,250,000 (approximately $1,687,375): Payable upon the first anniversary of the commencement of the drilling program, expected in June 2026.

 

Other potential milestone payments (Milestones 3 to 6 related to completion of a feasibility study and reaching commercial production), which could increase the total contingent consideration to up to US$37,500,000, are not recognized due to the current uncertainty in their likelihood.

 

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.

 

b)La Estrella

 

On August 10, 2021, the Company purchased from Compania Minera Ares S.A.C. mining claims known as the Estrella claims located in central Peru in consideration for a cash payment of $3,701 (US$2,700) and a 2% NSR. The Company, at its sole discretion and at any time may purchase 50% of the NSR for a consideration of US$200,000 and the remaining 50% for a consideration of US$300,000.

The Estrella 002 concession was acquired via auction with the Peruvian Mining Authority for consideration of US$31,000 (paid).

 

In addition, the Company has acquired the La Estrella project database including diamond drill core, assay results and laboratory certificates from Alianza Minerals Ltd. in consideration for the payment of $15,000 (paid) and the issuance of 37,500 common shares (issued).

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.

12.WRITE-OFF OF RECEIVABLES

 

In 2019, a predecessor entity of Reliant Venture S.A.C, a subsidiary of the Company, remitted a payment of S/445,862 ($172,994) to SUNAT, the Peruvian tax authority, for penalties and interest following an audit of its 2015 income tax return. The Company recognized a receivable in respect of this amount, based on its assessment that it was recoverable through successful legal challenge. The Company subsequently filed a claim challenging the assessment, which was denied by SUNAT and upheld by the Peruvian Tax Court on appeal. In February 2024, the Company initiated further legal proceedings with the Superior Court of Justice of Lima, seeking to annul the Tax Court’s decision. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reassessed the recoverability of the receivable. While the legal proceedings remain ongoing, the Company has determined that, given the uncertainty and expected duration of the legal process, recovery is no longer probable in the near term. Accordingly, the full amount of S/445,862 ($172,994) has been written off during the period.

 

13.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 $30,542,377 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 and six months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, 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.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
(Unaudited – in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise noted)
 

 

At March 31, 2025, the Company had contractual cash flow commitments as follows:

 

   < 1 Year   1-3 Years   Total 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities  $556,349   $–   $556,349 
Consideration payable   1,797,000    1,797,000    3,594,000 
Office rent obligations   547,000    684,500    1,231,500 
Exploration expenses and other   2,124,240    –    2,124,240 
   $5,024,589   $2,481,500   $7,506,089 

 

d)Foreign currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to currency risk on transactions and balances in currencies other than the functional currency. At March 31, 2025, the Company had not entered into any contracts to manage foreign exchange risk.

 

As at March 31, 2025, the majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was held in Canadian dollars, with the remainder in 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 and six months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.

 

14.COMMITMENTS

 

The Company is committed to payments for office leases premises through 2028 in the total amount of approximately $1,231,500 based on the Company’s current share of rent paid. Payments by fiscal year are:

 

2026  $410,200 
2027   528,100 
2028   293,200 

 

The Company is committed to payments related to exploration expenses and other of $2,124,240 in 2025.

 

15.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On April 10, 2025, the Company announced that it had received conditional approval to list its shares on the TSX. On May 13, 2025, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the TSX, with no change to the trading symbol or share certificates and were delisted from the Canadian Securities Exchange.

 

In addition on April 10, 2025, the Company entered in an equity distribution agreement providing for an at-the-market program (“the ATM Program”) offering qualified by a prospectus supplement to a short form base shelf prospectus filed with the securities commission in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The ATM Program allows the Company, through its agents, to, from time to time, offer and sell, in Canada, such number of common shares as would have an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000. As at May 28, 2025, no common shares were issued under the Company’s announced at-the-market program.
