Silver North Reviews 2024 Success at Haldane and Tim Silver Projects, Yukon and Provides 2025 Outlook
•New discovery at Haldane (Main Fault) consists of multiple silver-bearing structures including 1.83m (TW) of 1,088 g/t silver, 3.90 g/t gold, 1.89% lead and 0.63% zinc, elevating Main Fault to a high priority target
•Geological observations from drilling indicate the presence of CRD system at Tim Property
•Results of 2024 drilling at Tim pending.
Vancouver, BC, January 30, 2025 - Silver North Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SNAG, OTCQB: TARSF) “Silver North” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a review of 2024, an update on pending results from the Tim Project, and an outline of 2025 activities.
In a year where the price of silver saw a 21.5% increase ($23.65 to $28.90 USD per ounce) and looks to trend higher, Silver North has positioned itself as a leading primary silver explorer in Canada. 2024 saw a new zone discovered at the Company’s flagship Haldane silver project in the Keno District, Yukon Territory, while at the Tim silver project (optioned to Coeur Mining), geological evidence observed in drill core has confirmed the presence of a Carbonate Replacement Deposit (“CRD”) style system in the emerging Silvertip CRD district of northern BC and southern Yukon. Analytical results are pending for all six holes from the 2024 program at Tim.
The first half of 2024 was focussed on strengthening both the Haldane and Tim projects through potential strategic acquisitions in the vicinity of the two projects, as well as obtaining funding for Haldane. This culminated in financings in March and June at $0.10 and $0.16 (non-flow through) and $0.225 (flow through), raising a total of $1,477,380.
Concurrently, management added three claim groups in the Silvertip District, with the addition of the GDR Property. While at a very early stage of exploration, all three claim groups exhibit characteristics consistent with the presence of CRD-style mineralization. Importantly, the Veronica claims adjacent to the Tim Property, are host to an untested 450 x 450 metre silver-lead-zinc soil geochemical anomaly with silver values as high as 31 ppm from soil samples. Carbonate rocks have been mapped in the vicinity, making this an intriguing target for further CRD exploration.
TIM
Coeur had initially planned to complete approximately 2,000 metres of drilling, largely to test the Wolf Fault along almost 2,000 metres of strike length within prospective stratigraphy. Drilling targeted both structurally-hosted “chimney” style mineralization potentially hosted within the Wolf Fault and splays of it, as well as stratigraphically controlled “manto” mineralization along conducive stratigraphic horizons. This program finished in the first week of September, having been expanded to a total of 2,250 metres of drilling, and the addition of two airborne geophysical surveys (magnetics, radiometrics and mobile MT) to help target future drilling. Although analytical results from the program have yet to be received, geological observations from drilling confirm the presence of a CRD-style system at Tim, including diagnostic features noted at Silvertip and elsewhere in the world including fugitive calcite veining that fluoresces in UV light (displaying the classic “barbeque” pink and orange fluorescence) and re-crystallization of the host limestones. Coeur made the 2024 option payment of $75,000 in December and management expects that Coeur will undertake follow up drilling in 2025, the planning of which will commence once final analytical results have been received and interpreted.
HALDANE
Crews mobilized to start preparations for drilling at Haldane in August, with the drill arriving on site in the first week of September. Three holes, totalling 732 metres, were completed testing the West Fault with one hole and two holes at the Main Fault, a target that had not been previously tested by Silver North. This resulted in the discovery of Keno-style high grade silver-bearing quartz-siderite-sulphide veins, a new high priority target for future drilling. A fourth hole at the Bighorn target was not completed due to deteriorating conditions accessing the Bighorn drill pad.
An important goal of the 2024 program was to test the Main Fault below the level of oxidation for a true representation of this target’s potential for high grade silver mineralization. The surface expression of the Main Fault indicates potential for a large structure, with historical oxidized vein samples at surface averaging 151 g/t silver over 7.6 m and 223 g/t silver over 3.6 m at the Main Zone and Main Zone South showings. Heavily oxidized, poorly recovered intersections in 2011 and 2013 drilling by previous operators intersected similarly anomalous results.
Hole HLD24-29 intersected a somewhat oxidized structure above the Main Fault from 157.0m – 162.0m followed by unoxidized Main Fault breccia and siderite vein from 171.0m to 176.7m. The width of this zone warranted a follow up hole, targeting the structure 50 metres down dip. Hole HLD24-30 accomplished this, intersecting the same partially oxidized structure above the Main Fault from 171.0 – 172.5m and the Main Fault as a much wider, unoxidized, structural zone from 183.5 to 203.0 metres down hole, exhibiting multiple fault splays with strong gouge and breccia zones as well as quartz-siderite+/- sulphide veins.
In hole HLD24-29 the widest structural zone returned 13.75m true width (“TW”) of 157 g/t silver, 1.42% lead and 0.67% zinc and blossomed to 28.36m (TW) of 130 g/t silver, 0.55% lead and 0.52% zinc 50 metres down dip in hole 30. High grade oxidized and brecciated siderite vein fault material at the upper boundary returned 1.83m (TW) of 1,088 g/t silver, 3.90 g/t gold, 1.89% lead and 0.63% zinc including 0.73m (TW) of 2,470 g/t silver, 9.64 g/t gold, 3.88% lead and 0.99% zinc in hole HLD24-30. It is notable that these upper boundary intersections are unusually high in gold as compared to other intersections at the Haldane Property.

1Silver equivalent values are calculated assuming 100% recovery using the formula: ((20 * silver (g/t) / 31.1035) + (1650 * gold (g/t) / 31.1035) + (0.90 * 2204 * lead %/100) + (1.10 * 2204 * zinc %/100)) *(31.1035 / 20). Metal price assumptions are US$20/oz silver, US$1650/oz gold, US$0.90/lb lead and US$1.10/lb zinc. While metal prices today are generally higher than those used in the formula, these are the values used for past drilling at Haldane in order to compare past results. |
High grade, partially oxidized and strongly brecciated siderite vein fault from the centre of the Main Fault structural zone returned 3.05m (TW) of 460 g/t silver, 0.15 g/t gold, 4.34% lead and 1.23% zinc, including 1.65m (TW) of 777 g/t silver, 0.25 g/t gold, 7.86% lead and 2.22% zinc in HLD24-29 and 5.8m (TW) 365 g/t silver, 0.23 g/t gold, 1.80 % lead and 1.37 % zinc 50 meters down dip from HLD24-30.
The best result from the lowermost unoxidized siderite vein and vein fault breccia was an intercept of 0.91m (TW) of 194 g/t silver, 0.18 g/t gold, 0.54% lead and 1.08% zinc from HLD24-30.
2025 Outlook
Silver North will announce the analytical results from the 6 holes drilled by Coeur when they are made available, likely in late February. After interpretation of the 2024 drill results, in conjunction with the data collected from airborne magnetics, radiometrics and mobile MT surveys, Coeur will prioritize targets for drilling. It is expected that Coeur will test these targets in 2025 and once this plan is conveyed to management, its details will be relayed to the market.
Silver North plans to conduct an early-stage analyses of the GRD Project acquired in 2024 and located in the Silvertip CRD District. This work would include prospecting, geological mapping and sampling to identify targets areas to refine for drilling. Priority will be placed on the Veronica claim block adjacent to the Tim Property.
As the silver price remains strong and with Silver North’s two successful exploration programs in 2024, the Company will plan to raise funds for further exploration at the Haldane Project as the market improves and at opportunistic times.
Management is currently planning the size and scope of the 2025 drill program at Haldane, with the Main Fault target as the primary focus of the program. Once this plan is finalized it will be announced, likely in Q2 2025.
Silver North is always seeking high quality silver projects in strong jurisdictions in North America to enhance the project portfolio. This work is ongoing and is expected to continue through the year.

(the “Company” or “Silver North”) was incorporated in Alberta on October 21, 2005 under the Business Corporations Act of Alberta and its registered office is Suite 410, 325 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 1Z7. On April 25, 2008 the Company filed for a certificate of continuance and is continuing as a BC Company under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the trading symbol “SNAG”.
The Company is an exploration stage company and is engaged principally in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The recovery of the Company’s investment in its exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the future discovery, development and sale of minerals, upon the ability to raise sufficient capital to finance these activities, and/or upon the sale of these properties.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional financing through the issuance of common shares or obtaining joint venture or property sale agreements for one or more properties.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.
Adverse financial market conditions and volatility increase the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern given the need to both manage expenditures and to raise additional funds. The Company is experiencing, and has experienced, negative operating cash flows. The Company will continue to search for new or alternate sources of financing but anticipates that the current market conditions may impact the ability to source such funds. Accordingly, these material uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As at December 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $644,923 (September 30, 2024: $361,496), inclusive of a flow-through share premium liability of $25,873 (September 30, 2024: $107,997).
2.BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION - continued
Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for marketable securities classified as available-for-sale, which are stated at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared on the basis of IFRS Accounting Standards that are published at the time of preparation.
3.MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB on a basis consistent with those followed in the Company’s most recent annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all note disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year ending September 30, 2025.

4.MARKETABLE SECURITIES
On March 29, 2023, the Company received 75,000 shares of Highlander Silver Corp. (“Highlander”) valued at $12,000 pursuant to a data purchase agreement. In October 2023, Highlander completed a share consolidation on a two pre-consolidation common shares for one new common share basis and the Company currently holds 37,500 Highlander shares. During the year ended September 30, 2024, 37,500 Highlander shares were sold for proceeds of $20,625, with the Company realizing a $8,625 gain on disposal.
The shares are measured and presented at fair value using the observable market share price as at the dates of the statements of financial position. The gain or loss as a result of the re-measurement is recorded in profit and loss.
5.EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
The Company typically obtains its mineral exploration rights by way of direct acquisition from government regulatory authorities, outright purchases from third parties, or by entering into option agreements to acquire such rights subject to future consideration, often inclusive of requirements to complete exploration work on such properties. Such costs, when subsequently incurred by the Company, are also capitalized as non-current assets and included within the Exploration and Evaluation category. The Company will, and has, also subsequently entered into arrangements with other parties to vend certain of these interests utilizing similar mechanisms, based on management’s assessment of what is advantageous to the Company.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to its unproven mineral right interests, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
The Company’s major mineral property interests are its Haldane and Tim silver properties located in the Yukon Territory of Canada while it also has other mineral property interests in North and South America. Following are summary tables of exploration and evaluation assets and brief summary descriptions of each of the exploration and evaluation assets:

12.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and commodity price risk.
(a)Currency risk
The Company’s property interests in USA make it subject to foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures which may adversely affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company is affected by changes in exchange rates between the Canadian Dollar and foreign functional currencies. The Company does not invest in foreign currency contracts to mitigate the risks. The Company’s exploration program, some of its general and administrative expenses and financial instruments denoted in a foreign currency are exposed to currency risk. A 10% change in the US dollar and the Peruvian nuevo sol over the Canadian dollar would not significantly affect the Company.
(b)Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to the liquidity of its cash. The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash with a large Canadian financial institution.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – continued
(c) 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 ensures there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Company’s holdings of cash. The Company does not have sufficient cash to settle its current liabilities, and further funding will be required to meet the Company’s short-term and long-term operating needs. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within the current operating period.
(d) Market risk
Market risks to which the Company is exposed include unfavorable movements in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign exchange rates. As at December 31, 2024, the Company has no producing assets and holds the majority of its cash in secure, Canadian dollar-denominated deposits. Consequently, its exposure to these risks has been significantly reduced, but as the Company redeploys its cash, exposure to these risks may increase. The objective of the Company is to mitigate exposure to these risks while maximizing returns.
The Company owns available-for-sale marketable securities in the mineral resource sector. Changes in the future pricing and demand of commodities can have a material impact on the market value of the investments. The nature of such investments is normally dependent on the invested company being able to raise additional capital to further develop and to determine the commercial viability of its resource properties. Management mitigates the risk of loss resulting from this concentration by monitoring the trading value of the investments on a regular basis.
i)Interest rate risk
As at December 31, 2024, the Company’s exposure to movements in interest rates was limited to potential decreases in interest income from changes to the variable portion of interest rates for its cash. Market interest rates in Canada are at historically low levels, so management does not consider the risk of interest rate declines to be significant, but should such risks increase, the Company may mitigate future exposure by entering into fixed-rate deposits. A 1% change in the interest rate, with other variables unchanged, would not significantly affect the Company.
ii)Foreign exchange risk
The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company may maintain cash and other financial instruments, or may incur revenues and expenditures in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. Significant changes in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to these foreign currencies, which may include but are not limited to US dollars and Peruvian nuevo sol, could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – continued
(e)Commodity price risk
The ability of the Company to develop its mineral properties and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market price of minerals such as silver, gold, zinc, lead and copper. The Company’s input costs are also affected by the price of fuel. The Company closely monitors mineral and fuel prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
IFRS 7 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets measured at amortized cost by level within the fair value hierarchy.

13. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL RISK
The Company considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents.
In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.
In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s approach to managing capital remains unchanged from the year ended September 30, 2024.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024
OVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTORY COMMENT
Silver North Resources Ltd. (“Silver North” or the “Company”) has made significant new silver discoveries in the famous Keno Hill District in the Yukon, Canada, namely our Haldane and Tim properties. The Company is ideally positioned to further prove out and expand these discoveries, a stage of the mining development curve traditionally associated with the largest potential value increases. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the trading symbol “SNAG”.
This MD&A is dated February 21, 2025 and discloses specified information up to that date. Unless otherwise noted, all currency amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars. The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the related notes for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024 and the related notes thereto.
Additional information relevant to the Company and the Company’s activities can be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, and/or on the Company’s website at https://silvernorthres.com.
The Company recognizes environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) best practices as key components to responsible mineral exploration and development. The Company’s exploration programs are conducted to meet or exceed environmental regulations, while respecting the communities and environments in which we operate. The Company strives to earn its social license with local and indigenous communities by meeting with stakeholders, regulators, and other concerned parties before, and during, exploration work to understand traditional and cultural issues important to these communities. The Company’s approach is based on transparency, open communication, inclusivity, and respect, to better enable social and economic benefit for communities as well as value for investors.
MAJOR INTERIM PERIOD OPERATING MILESTONES
Haldane, Yukon, Canada
On October 16, 2024, the Company announced that the 2024 drilling campaign at the Haldane Property was completed. A total of 732 metres of drilling was completed in 3 holes testing the West Fault and Main Fault targets. This marks Silver North’s first test of the Main Fault, with two holes successfully intersecting the target in moderately oxidized to unoxidized rocks allowing for strong recovery of the vein targets.
In addition to continuing step-out tests of the West Fault target, an important goal of the 2024 program was to test the Main Fault below the level of oxidation for a true representation of this target’s potential for high grade silver mineralization. The surface expression of the Main Fault indicates potential for a large structure, with historical oxidized vein samples at surface averaging 151 g/t silver over 7.6 m and 223 g/t silver over 3.6 m at the Main Zone and Main Zone South showings. Heavily oxidized, poorly recovered intersections in 2011 and 2013 drilling by previous operators intersected similarly anomalous results.
Hole HLD24-29 intersected a somewhat oxidized structure above the Main Fault from 158.6m – 162.0m followed by unoxidized Main Fault breccia and siderite vein from 171.0m to 176.7m. The width of this zone warranted a follow up hole, targeting the structure 50 metres down dip. Hole HLD24-30 accomplished this, intersecting the same partially oxidized structure above the Main Fault from 171.0 – 172.5m and the Main Fault as a much wider, unoxidized, structural zone from 183.5 to 203.0 metres down hole, exhibiting multiple fault splays with strong gouge and breccia zones as well as quartz-siderite+/- sulphide veins. The program successfully showed that the Main Fault is a viable silver target with strong Keno District style veining characteristics indicating its potential to host high grade silver mineralization as seen elsewhere in the district. This was corroborated by strong analytical results from this target, released November 14, 2024 and summarized below.
A fourth hole at the Bighorn target was dropped from the program due to deteriorating conditions that made drill pad access difficult. Bighorn remains a high priority target and a pad was constructed early in the program that will be available for use in the next drill campaign at Haldane.
Main Fault Target
The Main Fault, thought to be a parallel structure to the West Fault, was targeted in the 2024 drill program based on surface sampling of the fault at the Main and Main South showings where oxidized vein samples on surface average 151 g/t silver over 7.6 m and 223 g/t silver over 3.6 m. Two holes tested this target (HLD24-29 and -30), successfully intersecting a wide structural zone consisting of three siderite-sulphide vein faults and breccias with an interstitial stockwork of siderite bearing veinlets and brecciated host rocks that forms the overall structural zone.
In hole HLD24-29 the widest structural zone returned 13.75m true width (“TW”) of 157 g/t silver, 1.42% lead and 0.67% zinc and blossomed to 28.36m (TW) of 130 g/t silver, 0.55% lead and 0.52% zinc 50 metres down dip in hole 30. High grade oxidized and brecciated siderite vein fault material at the upper boundary returned 1.83m (TW) of 1,088 g/t silver, 3.90 g/t gold, 1.89% lead and 0.63% zinc including 0.73m (TW) of 2,470 g/t silver, 9.64 g/t gold, 3.88% lead and 0.99% zinc in hole HLD24-30. It is notable that these upper boundary intersections are unusually high in gold as compared to other intersections at the Haldane Property. The oxidized nature of these intersections makes it difficult to determine the mineralogy associated with the elevated gold values at this time.

1Silver-equivalent values are calculated assuming 100% recovery using the formula: ((20 * silver (g/t) / 31.1035) + (1650 * gold (g/t) / 31.1035) + (0.90 * 2204 * lead %/100) + (1.10 * 2204 * zinc %/100)) *(31.1035 / 20). Metal price assumptions are US$20/oz silver, US$1650/oz gold, US$0.90/lb lead and US$1.10/lb zinc. While metal prices today are generally higher than those used in the formula, these are the values used for past drilling at Haldane in order to compare past results.
High grade, partially oxidized and strongly brecciated siderite vein fault from the centre of the Main Fault structural zone returned 3.05m (TW) of 460 g/t silver, 0.15 g/t gold, 4.34% lead and 1.23% zinc, including 1.65m (TW) of 777g/t silver, 0.25 g/t gold, 7.86% lead and 2.22% zinc in HLD24-29 and 5.8m (TW) 365 g/t silver, 0.23 g/t gold, 1.80 % lead and 1.37 % zinc 50 meters down dip from HLD24-30.
The best result from the lowermost unoxidized siderite vein and vein fault breccia was an intercept of 0.91m (TW) of 194 g/t silver, 0.18 g/t gold, 0.54% lead and 1.08% zinc from HLD24-30.

West Fault Target
Holes HLD24-29 and -30 potentially tested the very upper portions of the West Fault prior to reaching the Main Fault. The intersections occur high in the hole in very oxidized material. A significant fault zone was intersected in HLD24-29 but was unmineralized while the projected intersection in HLD24-30 was not recovered. Due to the shallow nature of the intersections and associated poor core recovery, management does not believe that this is an adequate test of the West Fault in this area and plans deeper drilling in this area in the future.
Hole HLD24-28, intersected the West Fault but deviated significantly more shallowly than expected and to the west of the intended target pierce point. The hole intersected several narrow discrete siderite-galena-sphalerite veins and siderite veinlets with the best of these returning 0.19m (TW) of 122 g/t silver, 0.169 g/t gold, 2.07% lead and 0.47% zinc. The hole did not close off the interpreted SW plunge of high-grade silver mineralization intersected in 2021 drilling, which remains open at a more steeply oriented plunge.
Management is currently planning the size and scope of the 2025 drill program at Haldane, with the Main Fault target as the primary focus of the program. Once this plan is finalized it will be announced, likely in Q2 2025.
Tim, Yukon, Canada
On January 30, 2025, the Company provided a review of 2024, an update on pending results from the Tim Project, and an outline of 2025 activities.
The exploration season commenced in July with the mobilization of crews to the Tim Property, located 19 km northeast of Coeur Mining’s Silvertip Project. Coeur is the project operator under an option agreement to earn an initial 51% interest (by funding a total of $3.5 million in exploration expenditures) in the property which can be expanded to 80% by funding a feasibility study and reaching a decision to build a mine. Coeur funded the 2024 program, conducting it out of their Silvertip Mine facilities.
Coeur had initially planned to complete approximately 2,000 metres of drilling, largely to test the Wolf Fault along almost 2,000 metres of strike length within prospective stratigraphy. Drilling targeted both structurally-hosted “chimney” style mineralization potentially hosted within the Wolf Fault and splays of it, as well as stratigraphically controlled “manto” mineralization along conducive stratigraphic horizons. This program finished in the first week of September, having been expanded to a total of 2,250 metres of drilling, and the addition of two airborne geophysical surveys (magnetics, radiometrics and mobile MT) to help target future drilling. Although analytical results from the program have yet to be received, geological observations from drilling confirm the presence of a CRD-style system at Tim, including diagnostic features noted at Silvertip and elsewhere in the world including fugitive calcite veining that fluoresces in UV light (displaying the classic “barbeque” pink and orange fluorescence) and re-crystallization of the host limestones. Coeur made the 2024 option payment of $75,000 in December and management expects that Coeur will undertake follow up drilling in 2025, the planning of which will commence once final analytical results have been received and interpreted.
The Company will announce the analytical results from the 6 holes drilled by Coeur when they are made available, likely in the first quarter of 2025. After interpretation of the 2024 drill results, in conjunction with the data collected from airborne magnetics, radiometrics and mobile MT surveys, Coeur will prioritize targets for drilling. It is expected that Coeur will test these targets in 2025 and once this plan is conveyed to management, its details will be relayed to the market.
The Company plans to conduct an early-stage analyses of the GRD Project acquired in 2024 and located in the Silvertip CRD District. This work would include prospecting, geological mapping and sampling to identify targets areas to refine for drilling. Priority will be placed on the Veronica claim block adjacent to the Tim Property.
INTERIM PERIOD FINANCIAL CONDITION
Capital Resources
On January 28, 2025, the Company granted 605,000 stock options to its directors, officer and consultants at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of 5 years.
The Company is aware of the current conditions in the financial markets and has planned accordingly. The Company’s current treasury and the future cash flows from equity issuances and the potential exercise of warrants, finders’ warrants and options, along with the planned developments within the Company will allow its efforts to continue throughout 2025. If the market conditions prevail or improve, the Company will make adjustment to budgets accordingly.
Liquidity
As at December 31, 2024, the Company had working capital deficiency of $644,923 (September 30, 2024 – $361,496). As at December 31, 2024, $185,382 was held in cash (September 30, 2024 - $709,647). The total decrease of $524,265 was due to: (a) exploration and expenditures assets expenditures net of recoveries of $511,196; (b) operating activities of $10,395; and (c) share issue costs of $7,000.
Operations
For the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2032:
The Company recorded a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2024 of $139,624 (loss per share - $0.00) compared to a loss of $174,487 (loss per share - $0.00) for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
Excluding the non-cash share-based payments of $7,231 (2023 - $Nil), the Company’s general and administrative expenses amounted to $212,822 (2023 - $186,854), an increase of $25,968. The change in the expenses was mainly due to the increases in: (a) accounting and legal fees (2024 - $63,071; 2023 - $18,306); (b) office expenses (2024 - $15,186; 2023 – office expenses recovery - $767); (c) wages, benefits and consulting fees (2024 - $22,950; 2023 - $8,884); while being offset by (d) investor relations and shareholder information (2024 - $78,911; 2023 - $141,162). The Company continues to monitor its use of cash and is actively seeking ways to reduce its operating expenses while maintaining shareholders’ awareness of the Company’s exploration programs at Haldane and Tim.
The other major items for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared with December 31, 2023, were:
·Fair value gain on marketable securities of $Nil (2023 - $12,000); and
·Flow-through share premium recovery of $82,124 (2023 - $Nil).
