2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which include information necessary or useful to understanding the Company's business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company's significant accounting policies, use of judgments and estimation methods were presented in notes 2 and 3, respectively, of those consolidated financial statements and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In addition, please refer to note 3 below for similar details in relation to bullion and call options and put options which became new accounting items during 2023.

Basis of preparation and measurement

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. Additionally, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 8, 2023.

Basis of consolidation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. There has been no change to the Company's subsidiaries since December 31, 2022. The Company consolidates subsidiaries where the Company can exercise control. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to variable returns from involvement with an investee and can affect the returns through power over the investee. Control is normally achieved through ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the voting power. Control can also be achieved through power over more than half of the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other investors or through the exercise of de facto control. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition of control up to the effective date of loss of control.

The Company's principal subsidiary at September 30, 2023 was the wholly-owned Compañía Minera La Llamarada, S.A. de C.V. located in Mexico whose principal project and purpose is ownership and operation of the Las Chispas Operation.

Intercompany assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

Change in functional currency

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The Company considered the functional currency of the parent entity to be the Canadian Dollar ("C$") until June 30, 2023, after which the functional currency changed to the United States Dollar ("US$"). The functional currency was determined and treated in accordance with IAS 21 The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates which includes accounting for the functional currency change on a prospective basis.

3. BULLION

Gold and silver bullion

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company purchased gold and silver bullion from a bullion bank to hold as treasury assets in accordance with its liquidity management policies.

Bullion is initially recorded at cost on acquisition and subsequently measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the fair value are recognized in the period the changes occur. These changes are recorded to interest and investment income in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss).

Bullion holdings at September 30, 2023 are as follows:

    Cost     Fair market value  
    September 30, 2023     September 30, 2023  
Gold bullion $ 3,116   $ 2,956  
Silver bullion   8,903     8,775  
Total bullion $ 12,019   $ 11,731  

Bullion options

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold call options and purchased put options. Call options are instruments that give the option holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase gold or silver at an agreed upon price in the future. Put options are instruments that give the option holder the right, but not the obligation, to sell gold or silver at an agreed upon price in the future. The Company receives an option premium in cash on selling the option, which is recorded as either an asset or a liability. The value of the option is remeasured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at each reporting date, with gains or losses recorded as interest and other investment income, along with a corresponding increase to the derivative liability which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Credit Facility

On November 29, 2022, the Company refinanced its 2020 secured project financing facility (the "Project Financing Facility") with a new $120,000 senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") through a syndicate of two banks. The Credit Facility includes a $50,000 term facility ("Term Facility") with a maturity date of November 28, 2025 and a $70,000 revolving facility ("Revolving Facility") with a maturity date of November 27, 2026. On closing of the Credit Facility, the Company fully drew the $50,000 Term Facility and used $40,000 of available cash to repay the previously outstanding $90,000 Project Financing Facility.

Within the first five months of 2023, the Company voluntarily prepaid the full $50,000 Term Facility principal. As of September 30, 2023, there had been no draws on the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility of $70,000 will be available to the Company until November 27, 2026, for general corporate purposes and working capital (funds available to meet current and short-term obligations), subject to customary terms and conditions.

The Revolving facility bears interest, and the Term Facility when outstanding bore interest, at a rate based initially on an adjusted Term secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("SOFR"), plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.75%.  The undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility is subject to a standby fee ranging from 0.5625% to 0.8428% per annum.

All debt under the Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries and secured by the assets of the Company and NorCrest Metals Inc. (a subsidiary of the Company) and pledges of the securities of the Company's subsidiaries. The Credit Facility includes certain financial and non-financial covenants and at September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

8. RECLAMATION AND CLOSURE PROVISION (continued)

The reclamation and closure cost provision is calculated as the present value of estimated future net cash outflows based on the following key assumptions:

 The discount rate used in discounting the estimated reclamation and closure cost provision was 9.7% (December 31, 2022 - 8.9%) during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and is a risk-free rate based on the Bank of Mexico's 10 year bond rate.

 The majority of the expenditures are expected to occur in 2031 and 2032.

 A 1% change in the discount rate would result in an approximate $400 increase or $500 decrease in the provision, while holding other assumptions consistent.

The undiscounted value of the reclamation and closure provision is estimated to be $12,499 (December 31, 2022 - $11,158) which is calculated using a long-term inflation rate assumption of 4.5% (December 31, 2022 - 4.6%). In addition, the Mexico peso to US$ exchange rate used as at September 30, 2023 for the estimated reclamation and closure costs provision was 17.4:1 (December 31, 2022 - 19.5:1).

9. REVENUE

The Company did not have any revenue prior to the third quarter of 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had revenue of $183,810 (September 30, 2022 - $2,719) from the sale of 42,100 (September 30, 2022 - Nil) gold ounces and 4.3 million (September 30, 2022 - 0.1 million) silver ounces to three (September 30, 2022 - two) customers.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company is exposed to various financial instrument risks and assesses the impact and likelihood of this exposure.  These risks include liquidity, foreign currency, credit, commodity price, and interest rate risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

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 in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company's cash and cash equivalents and bullion are invested in business accounts or stored with quality financial institutions and are available on demand to fund the Company's operations.

The Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments in the normal course of business. The following table summarizes the remaining contractual cash flows of the Company's financial liabilities and operating and capital commitments, shown in contractual undiscounted cash flows, at September 30, 2023:

    Less than
1 year
    Between 1 - 3
years
    Between 4 - 5
years
    After 5 years     Total  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 17,296   $ -   $ -   $ -   $ 17,296  
Tax liabilities   12,474     -     -     -     12,474  
Lease liabilities(1)   71     138     87     93     389  
Reclamation and closure provision(1)   -     -     -     12,499     12,499  
TOTAL $ 29,841   $ 138   $ 87   $ 12,592   $ 42,658  

(1) Estimated undiscounted cash flows.

The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 of $69,979, bullion of $11,731, undrawn $70,000 Revolving Facility, and continuing revenue and profitable operations are sufficient to settle its commitments through the next 12 months.

Foreign currency risk

The Company operates in Canada and Mexico and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The operating results and the financial position of the Company are reported in US$. The functional currency of the parent entity (note 2) and its subsidiaries is US$ and therefore they are exposed to foreign currency risk from financial instruments denominated in currencies other than US$.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities, expressed in US$:

    C$     Mexican Peso     Total  
September 30, 2023                  
Cash and cash equivalents $ 9,212   $ 306   $ 9,518  
Accounts receivable   (14 )   14     -  
Value-added taxes receivable   47     27,420     27,467  
Total financial assets   9,245     27,740     36,985  
Less: accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (4,937 )   (5,021 )   (9,958 )
Net financial assets $ 4,308   $ 22,719   $ 27,027  

The Company is primarily exposed to fluctuations in the value of US$ against C$ and US$ against Mexican pesos ("MX$"). With all other variables held constant, a 1% change in US$ against C$ or US$ against MX$ would result in the following impact on the Company's net income for the year:

    September 30, 2023  
US$/C$ exchange rate - increase/decrease 1% $ 43  
US$/MX$ exchange rate - increase/decrease 1% $ 227

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash and cash equivalents and bullion with high-credit quality financial institutions. From time to time, the Company will have certain liquid financial assets on deposit with or held by multiple high-credit quality financial institutions as a risk mitigation practice. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with The Bank of Montreal ("BMO") and The Bank of Novia Scotia ("BNS") in Canada and BNS in Mexico. Bullion is stored with BMO in Canada. The Company has not recognized any expected credit losses with respect to interest receivable as the amounts are due from high-credit quality financial institutions and the risk of default is considered negligible. The carrying amount of financial assets, as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position, represents the Company's maximum credit exposure.

Precious metal price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk on precious metals that impact the valuation of the Company's derivative positions, comprised of gold and silver call options written, which has a direct and immediate impact on net earnings. The prices of precious metals are volatile and affected by many factors beyond the Company's control, and there can be no assurance that precious metal prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended change in precious metal prices could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position, income, and cash flows.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from the interest rate impact on its cash and cash equivalents. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held or invested in highly liquid accounts with both floating and fixed rates of interest, in order to achieve a satisfactory return for shareholders.

At September 30, 2023, the weighted average interest rate earned on the Company's interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents was 5.40%. With all other variables unchanged, a one percentage point change in interest rates would result in approximately a $659 increase/decrease in the Company's income and comprehensive income (loss), annually.

Financial instruments carrying value and fair value

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. The level of measurement for each financial instrument is determined by the lowest level of significant inputs.

The carrying value of accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities (except as noted) approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. In relation to the Company's SU plan (note 15), the Company recorded the fair value of SUs in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company also recorded a derivative liability on its call options (note 3) in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Both of these items are measured using level 2 inputs.
