GOING CONCERN
CMX Gold & Silver Corp. 31 Stranraer Place SW Calgary, Alberta
Canada T3H 1H5
The business of exploring resource properties involves a high degree of risk and, therefore, there is no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable operations. The Company has not determined whether its properties contain economically recoverable reserves of ore and currently has not earned any revenue from its mineral properties and, therefore, does not generate cash flow from its operations. Future operations are dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable ore reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration and subsequent development of its properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of its properties.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its obligations as they become due in the normal course of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $85,639 (2024 - $65,632). As a result of the recurring losses over the Company's history, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,499,225 as at March 31, 2025 (2024 - $7,139,048). At March 31, 2025, the Company had a net working capital deficiency of $474,997 (2024 - $415,329). The Company currently does not have the necessary financing in place to support continuing losses. The Company plans to continue to raise capital through equity issuance. Historically, the Company has financed its operations and property acquisitions through the use of funds obtained from share issuances.
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to secure new financing arrangements and new equity issuances. There is no assurance that new capital will be available and if it is not, the Company may be forced to substantially curtail or cease operations. Although the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate, there can be no assurance that any steps the Company takes will be successful. These events and conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses, that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and therefore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at carrying amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Any such adjustments could be material.
-
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
Approval of consolidated financial statementsThese consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance on May 26, 2025 by the directors of the Company.
Basis of consolidationThese consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CMX Gold & Silver Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CMX Gold & Silver (USA) Corp. A subsidiary is fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and is de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Basis of measurementThe consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments and share-based payments which have been accounted for at fair value.
Functional and presentation currencyThe functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollars, and all amounts are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. The functional currency of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, CMX Gold & Silver (USA) Corp., is the US dollar.
New accounting policiesThere are new accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards and interpretations that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, that have not been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025. Except as disclosed below, these standards and interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. It carries forward many requirements from IAS 1. IFRS 18 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to: the structure of the statement of profit or loss; required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements; and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes. The Company is currently assessing the impact and efforts related to adopting IFRS 18.
On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. These amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance (ESG) targets); and update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). These amendments apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact and efforts related to the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from and affect the results reported in these consolidated financial statements as future confirming events occur.
The Company's ability to execute its strategy as a going concern by funding future working capital requirements requires judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, such as expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The determination of the Company's functional currency requires management judgment based on an evaluation of all relevant information in relation to the related primary and secondary hierarchy factors. Considerations regarding currency and influences of area of operations, settlement of operating expenses, and the funds from financing activities are assessed at each reporting date.
Management's judgment is that until a property reaches the development stage, costs related to the exploration and evaluation of a property are best estimated to be non-recoverable and are therefore expensed in the month in which they occur. Only real property is capitalized to the consolidated statement of financial position. Management annually assesses the carrying value of the capitalized assets for impairment. Management has determined that there are no indicators of impairment of the exploration and evaluation assets, which have been recognized on the statements of financial position. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of whether or not impairment indicators exist as outlined in IFRS 6, which includes whether the period for which the Company has the right to explore in the specific area has expired or will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed, whether substantive expenditure on further exploration is neither budgeted nor planned, and other factors such as exploration results, metal prices, project economics, financing prospects and sale or option prospects.
The Company must make use of estimates in calculating the fair value of warrant issuances and share-based payments. Amounts recorded for warrants issuances and share-based payments are subject to the inputs used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, including assumptions such as volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rates, forfeiture rate estimates, and expected warrant or option life. Forfeiture rate is determined based on actual historical forfeitures.
Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation in which the Company operates are subject to change. As such, income taxes are subject to measurement uncertainty.
By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the impact on the consolidated financial statements of future periods could be material.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These consolidated financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the accounting policies summarized as follows:
Financial instrumentsThe Corporation records financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
A financial asset is classified as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), or amortized cost. Purchases and sales of financial assets are recorded on a settlement date basis. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The measurement and classification of financial assets is dependent on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Financial assets are derecognized when they mature or are sold, and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.
All financial instruments are initially recorded at their fair value. The Corporation would only reclassify a financial asset when the Corporation changes its business model for managing the financial asset. All reclassifications are recorded at fair value at the date of reclassification, which becomes the new carrying value. There has been no reclassification for the three months ended March 31, 2025, or 2024.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the statements of comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair
value of the financial asset held at FVTPL are included in profit and loss in the period in which they arise. Derivatives are also categorized as FVTPL unless they are designated specifically as hedges.
Financial assets at FVTOCI
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses on financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income following the derecognition of the investment. The Company does not have any financial assets within this category.
Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date. Gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified at amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss. The Company classifies cash and cash equivalents and accounts and other receivables as financial assets measured at amortized cost.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognized initially on the date the Corporation becomes a party to the contractual obligations of the financial instrument. All non-derivative financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value along with directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial measurement, non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
The following table presents the Corporation's classification of financial assets and financial liabilities as at March 31, 2025 and 2024:
Financial assets/ financial liability Classification
Cash Amortized cost
Trade and other receivables Amortized cost
Trade and other payables Amortized cost
Convertible debenture Amortized cost
Due to related parties Amortized cost
Compound instrumentsConvertible debentures are considered to be a compound instrument that can be converted into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder. The equity component of the instrument is recognized in contributed surplus and the fair value component is recognized as a liability. Subsequent to initial recognition interest is accrued using the effective interest rate method.
Foreign exchange translations and transactionsFor foreign entities whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar, the Company translates monetary assets and liabilities at period-end exchange rates and non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the period. Gains or losses from changes in exchange rates are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period of occurrence.
For foreign entities whose functional currency is not the Canadian dollar, the Company translates assets and liabilities at period-end rates and income and expense accounts at average exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from these translations are reflected in other comprehensive income as exchange difference on translating foreign operation.
Transactions of the Canadian entity in foreign currencies are translated at rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current rates. Gains or losses from the changes in exchange rates are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period of occurrence. Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item that is receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which in substance is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents with original maturities of 90 days or less, is comprised of cash on deposit at a Canadian financial institution.
Exploration and evaluation assetsProspecting costs incurred prior to obtaining the rights to explore lands are expensed as incurred.
Costs of option acquisitions and exploration expenditures related to mineral properties are expensed in the year in which they occur.
Land purchases of patented mineral claims and development costs are capitalized on property specific cash generating unit ("CGU") basis. Upon development of a commercially viable mineral property the related costs subject to an impairment test, will be transferred from exploration and evaluation to development and producing. Costs capitalized together with the costs of production equipment will be depleted on a unit of production basis, based on estimated proved reserves of minerals upon the commencement of production for each CGU.
Each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that a CGU may be impaired. If any indication exists, the Company estimates the CGU's recoverable amount. A CGU's recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
Fair value less costs of disposal is determined using discounted future net cash flows of proved and probable reserves using forecast prices and costs. Value in use is determined by estimating the present value of the future net cash flows expected to be derived from the continued use of the asset or CGU. When the carrying amount of a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the CGU will be considered impaired and written down to its recoverable amount.
Reversals of impairments are recognized when there has been a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount. In this event, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to its revised recoverable amount with an impairment reversal recognized in profit or loss. The recoverable amount is limited to the original carrying amount less depreciation, depletion and amortization as if no impairment had been recognized for the asset or CGU for prior periods.
Properties are abandoned either when the lease expires or when management determines that no further work will be performed on the property. In addition, if there has been a delay in development activity for several successive years, a write down of those project capitalized costs will be charged to statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company derecognizes assets at the earlier of disposal, or when no future economic benefit is expected. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in statement of loss and comprehensive loss when incurred.
Share-based compensationThe Company has a stock-based compensation plan for employees and directors. Awards of options under the plan are expensed based on the fair value of the options at the grant date. Fair values are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Any consideration paid on the exercise of stock options will be credited to share capital plus the amounts originally recorded within other reserves.
ProvisionsThe Company will recognize the present value of estimated decommissioning liabilities when a reasonable estimate can be made. Decommissioning liabilities include those legal obligations where the Company will be required to retire tangible long-lived assets such as drilling sites, mine sites and facilities. The liabilities, equal to the initial estimated present value of the decommissioning liabilities, are capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset. Changes in the estimated obligation resulting from revisions to assumptions, estimated timing or amount of discounted cash flows will be recognized as a change in the decommissioning liabilities and the related costs.
Decommissioning costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method. Increases in the decommissioning liabilities resulting from the passage of time will be recorded as accretion of decommissioning liabilities and will be charged to operations.
Actual expenditures incurred will be charged against accumulated obligations.
Warrants classified as equityThe Company has adopted the pro-rata basis method for the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The pro-rata basis method requires that gross proceeds and related share issuance costs be allocated to the common shares and the warrants based on the relative fair value of the component.
The fair value of the common share is based on the closing price on the closing date of the transaction and the fair value of the warrant is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The fair value attributed to the warrant is recorded as warrant equity. If the warrant is exercised, the value
attributed to the warrant is transferred to share capital. If the warrant expires unexercised, the value is reclassified to contributed surplus within equity. Warrants, issued as part of private placement units, that have their term of expiries extended, are not subsequently revalued.
The Company may modify the terms of warrants originally granted. When modifications exist, the Company will maintain the original fair value of the warrant.
Loss per shareBasic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share amounts are computed by giving effect to the potential dilution that would occur if stock options and warrants were exercised. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and share purchase warrants. This method assumes that proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money instruments are used to repurchase shares at the average market price for the period. In net loss per share situations, the dilutive per share amount is the same as that for basic, as all instruments are anti-dilutive.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on yield curves on Canadian government zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term equal to the stock options' expected life. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employee termination within the valuation model. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common shares.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair values of cash, accounts receivable, trade and other payables and due to related parties approximate their carrying values given the expected short-term to maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the convertible debentures is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.
-
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents. Cash is held with reputable chartered banks from which management believes the risk of loss is minimal. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments is minimal. The maximum credit risk exposure associated with the Company's financial assets is the carrying value.
-
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient resources to meet liabilities when due. As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a net working capital deficiency of $474,997 (2024 - $415,329). Management is continuously monitoring its working capital position and will raise funds through the equity markets as required. However, there is no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain funding by share issuances in the future. The Company is presently seeking to raise capital through equity financing (see note 2).

Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in the market factors such as interest rates, commodity and equity prices and foreign currency rates.
Interest rate risk
When the Company has cash balances its policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term money market accounts. The Company will periodically monitor the investments it makes to ensure the creditworthiness of its investments. Fluctuations in interest rates do not materially affect the Company as the interest is at a fixed rate.
Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk to the Company's earnings that arise from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on cash held in US funds. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
Foreign currency risk could adversely affect the Company, in particular the Company's ability to operate in foreign markets. Foreign currency exchange rates have fluctuated greatly in recent years. There is no assurance that the current exchange rates will mirror rates in the future.
The Company currently has minimal foreign currency risk although in the future foreign currency risk may affect the level of operations of the Company. This may also affect the Company's liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations.
As the Company currently holds minimal US currency a change in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar would not have a significant effect on the Company liquidity or working capital. The Company is exposed to currency risk as its the functional currency of its subsidiary is US dollars.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's objectives in managing its capital are:
To have sufficient capital to ensure that the Company can continue to meet its commitments with respect to its mineral exploration properties and to meet its day-to-day operating requirements in order to continue as a going concern; and
To provide a long-term adequate return to shareholders.
The Company's capital structure is comprised of shareholders' equity.
The Company is an exploration stage company which involves a high degree of risk. The Company has not determined whether its properties contain economically recoverable reserves of ore and currently does not earn any revenue from its mineral properties and therefore does not generate cash flow from operations. The Company's primary source of funds will come from the issuance of share capital. The Company's policy is to invest its excess cash in highly liquid, fully guaranteed, bank sponsored instruments.
The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the Company. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There have been no changes in the Company's capital management in the current year.
-
COMMITMENTS
The Company currently has the following yearly commitments:
Clayton property: US$6,516 for property taxes and claims fees.
These commitments will change if the Company acquires other property or completes further claim staking.
- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 9, 2025, the Company closed a further $72,500 of debt conversion into convertible debentures with the same terms and effective date as the convertible debentures issued on March 31, 2025.
