Rio Silver Inc. Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of Rio Silver Inc.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Rio Silver Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2025 and, as of that date, the Company had an accumulated deficit. As stated in Note 2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Except for the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Company as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Jenny Lee.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Rio Silver Inc. (the "Company" or "Rio Silver") is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol "RYO". It is incorporated in Canada under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company's corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 1600 - 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V7X 1L4. The Company's principal business activity is the acquisition, evaluation and development of mineral properties in the Americas.
-
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with IFRS®
Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on April 30, 2026.
Going concernThe Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its mineral properties. On the basis of information to date, it has not yet determined whether those properties contain economically recoverable mineral deposits. The business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurances that the Company's exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. Until it is determined that a property contains mineral reserves or resources that can be economically mined, it is classified as an exploration property. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon receiving funding, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and resources, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in its properties, and making the required payments pursuant to mineral property option agreements.
The Company raised funds throughout the prior fiscal years and utilized these funds for working capital and capital expenditures requirements. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to the Company. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of shares from the treasury of the Company, control of the Company may change and existing shareholders may have their interest diluted. If adequate financing is not available, the Company may be required to relinquish rights to certain of its interests or terminate its operations.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. If the going concern assumption was not used then the adjustments required to report the Company's assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis could be material to these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any, that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
As at December 31, 2025, the Company had no revenues, had a working capital of $1,158,264 (2024 - working capital deficit of $938,702), had an accumulated deficit of $22,403,616 (2024 - $18,279,593) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will require additional financing in order to conduct its planned work programs on mineral properties, meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due.
Basis of presentationThese consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments to fair value.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements of the Company consolidate the accounts of the following subsidiaries:
Company
Location
Ownership
Principal Activity
Rio Silver Exploration Ltd.
Canada
100%
Exploration company
Minera Rio Plata S.A.C.
Peru
100%
Exploration company
Mamanina Exploraciones S.A.C
Peru
100%
Exploration company
The results of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of cash flows from the effective date of acquisition. All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Functional currency and foreign operationIFRS requires that the functional currency of each entity in the consolidated group be determined separately in accordance with the indicators as per IAS 21 - Foreign exchange and should be measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The parent and subsidiaries' functional currency is the Canadian dollar for operations in both Peru and Canada. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the parent and subsidiaries' presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Financial instrumentsFinancial assets
The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss when incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or through profit or loss (FVTPL). Interest income is calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment, foreign exchange and derecognition are recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are comprised of cash.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated at FVTPL:
it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Equity investments held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For all other equity investments that are not held for trading, the Company, on initial recognition, may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income (OCI). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
The Company reclassifies debt instruments only when its business model for managing those financial assets has changed. Reclassifications are applied prospectively from the reclassification date and any previously recognized gains, losses or interest are not restated.
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability-weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
The Company applies the simplified approach for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component. Using the simplified approach, the Company records a loss allowance equal to the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the assets' contractual lifetime.
Financial assets are written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering all or any portion thereof. The Company derecognizes a financial asset when its contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
Financial liabilities
The Company recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at their fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, with the exception of financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss.
Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, unless they must be measured at FVTPL (such as derivatives) or if the Company elects to measure them at FVTPL. Interest, gains and losses relating to a financial liability are recognized in profit or loss. Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL are comprised of derivative liabilities. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debentures and due to related parties. The Company derecognizes a financial liability only when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
Interest
Interest income and expense are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments over the expected life of the financial instrument to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or the amortized cost of the financial liability. The effective interest rate is calculated considering all contractual terms of the financial instruments, except for the expected credit losses of financial assets.
The 'amortized cost' of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the instrument is measured on initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus or minus any cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and maturity amount and adjusted for any expected credit loss allowance. The 'gross carrying amount' of a financial asset is the amortized cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any expected credit losses.
Interest income and expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or the amortized cost of the financial liability.
Where a financial asset has become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated in subsequent periods by applying the effective interest method to the amortized cost of the financial asset. If the asset subsequently ceases to be credit-impaired, calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, with the net amount presented in the statement of financial position, when, and only when, the Company has a current and legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted under IFRS, or when arising from a group of similar transactions if the resulting income and expenses are not material.
EquipmentEquipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is provided using the following terms and methods:
Assets
Method
Term
Motor Vehicles
Straight Line
5 years
An asset's residual value and useful life are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the equipment and are recognized in profit or loss.
Exploration and evaluation expendituresThe Company expenses exploration and evaluation expenditures as incurred. Exploration and evaluation expenditures include property option payments and other property acquisition and preservation costs and exploration and evaluation activities. The Company records property option payments and government assistance received on account of exploration and evaluation activities on a net basis against expenditures.
Convertible debenturesUpon issuance, convertible debentures are allocated between derivative liabilities and host debt on initial recognition with transaction cost attributable to the derivative liability expensed in the period. The host debt is net of attributable transaction costs. Transaction costs are allocated based on proportion to the allocation of proceeds. The derivative liability is measured at fair value through profit and loss using the Black Scholes pricing model. On initial recognition, host debt is the residual of total proceeds less the fair value of the derivative liability, net of transaction costs. The host debt is subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method; the liability is accreted to the face value over the term of the convertible debt. Accretion is expensed to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Share-based payment transactionsThe fair value of share options granted to directors, officers, employees, and consultants is recognized as an expense over the vesting period using the graded vesting method with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee, including directors of the Company. The fair value is measured at the grant date and recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At the end of each reporting period, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest. Share-based payments incorporates an expected forfeiture rate.
Fair value of the warrants issued with common sharesProceeds from unit placements are allocated between common shares and warrants issued using the residual method. The proceeds are first attributed to the warrants according to the fair market value at the time of issuance with the residual amount allocated to the common shares. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrants issued based on their relative fair values of equity instruments at the date of issuance.
Income taxesIncome tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or payable to the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and includes any adjustment to taxes payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized on any temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable earnings. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized and the liability is settled. The effect of a change in the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates is recognized in net earnings and comprehensive income or in equity depending on the item to which the adjustment relates.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future recovery is probable. At each reporting period end, deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Earnings (Loss) per shareBasic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated in a similar manner, except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the effects of all dilutive common shares including convertible debentures, options and warrants, if dilutive. In a year when the Company reports a loss, the effect of potential issuances of shares under options and warrants outstanding would be anti-dilutive and, therefore basic and diluted loss per shares are the same.
Significant accounting judgements and estimatesThe preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgment, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.
Critical accounting judgments
The critical judgments that the Company's management has made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Evaluation of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to execute its strategy and finance the operations through achieving positive cash flow from operations by obtaining additional funding through debt or equity financing involves judgments. Management routinely plans future activities including forecasting future cash flows. Management has reviewed their plan with the directors and has collectively formed a judgement that the Company has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, which Management and the Directors have defined as being at least for the next 12 months. In arriving at this judgment, Management has prepared the cash flow projections of the Company. Directors have reviewed this information provided by management and have considered the financial resources available to the Company. The expected cash flows have been modeled based on anticipated debt and equity funding programmed into the model and reducing over time.
Management has assessed and concluded that the going concern assumption is appropriate for a period of at least twelve months following the end of the reporting period. Management applied significant judgement in arriving at this conclusion by considering the following:
The amount of cash on hand as of year end;
The ability to source new debt and equity financing to provide sufficient cash flow to continue to fund operations and other committed expenditures; and
The ability to delay the payment for the due to related parties balance in order to manage cash flows.
Considering the above, Management and Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Given the judgement involved, actual results may lead to a materially different outcome.
Determination of functional currency of the Company
The functional currency for each of the Company and its subsidiary is the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates. The determination of each entity's functional currency requires analyzing facts that are considered primary factors, and if the result is not conclusive, the secondary factors. The analysis requires management to apply significant judgment since primary and secondary factors may be mixed. In determining its functional currency, management analyzed both the primary and secondary factors, including the currency of each entity's operating cash flow, and sources of financing.
Assets acquisition
Judgement is used in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. The fair value of consideration to acquire the Company in the transaction comprised common shares and cash. Common shares were valued on the date of issuance. The Company applied IFRS 2 Share-based Payment in accounting for the transaction because the accounting acquiree did not constitute a business as of the acquisition date under IFRS 3 Business Combinations.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Fair value measurement of other receivable
The determination of the fair value of the other receivable on initial recognition required management to impute an appropriate incremental interest rate as the receivable is non-interest bearing in nature. Management used its best estimate in determining the discount rate and considered many factors, including the credit risk and history with the third party.
Deferred taxes
The calculation of deferred tax is based on assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty as to timing and which tax rates are expected to apply when temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax recorded is also subject to uncertainty regarding the magnitude on non-capital losses available for carry forward and of the balances in various tax pools.
Share-based payment transactions and fair value of warrants issued with common shares
The fair value of share-based payment and fair value of warrants are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Estimating fair value requires determining the most appropriate valuation model for a grant of equity instruments, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. Option-pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and, therefore, existing models do not necessarily provide reliable measurement of the fair value of the Company's stock options and warrants issued with common shares.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Accounting PronouncementsCertain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded.
Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, issued in May 2024, clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, including that a financial liability is derecognized on the settlement date. The amendments introduce a voluntary election permitting the derecognition of some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system before the settlement date, provided specific conditions are met. They also provide further guidance for assessing whether the contractual cash flows of a financial asset are consistent with a basic lending arrangement including those that contain contingent features, non-recourse features or are investments in contractually linked instruments. The amendments also add new disclosure requirements for certain instruments with contractual terms that include a contingent feature and for investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
IFRS 18, issued in April 2024, replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, and introduces three primary changes:
Income and expenses must be classified into five defined categories in the Statement of Profit or Loss and specified totals and subtotals must be presented;
Management-defined performance measures must be disclosed in a single note to the financial statements, along with accompanying explanations and reconciliations; and
Enhanced requirements for grouping information in the financial statements.
IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements.
In addition, entities must use the operating profit or loss subtotal as the starting point for reporting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method in the statement of cash flows, and the accounting policy choice about how to classify cash inflows and outflows related to interest and dividends paid and received has been eliminated.
IFRS 18 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements, and is required to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers its cash and share capital 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 maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.
When managing capital, the Company's objective is to ensure continuance as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. 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 team to sustain the future development of the business.
The properties in which the Company currently has interests are in the exploration stage; as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities (see note 2). In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire interests in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is appropriate.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Company's overall business strategies, tolerance of risk and general risk management philosophy are determined by the directors in accordance with prevailing economic and operating conditions.
The Company has the following financial instruments as of December 31, 2025 and December 31 2024:
Categories
Financial assetsCash Amortized cost
Other receivable Amortized cost
Investments at fair value through profit or loss FVTPL
Financial liabilitiesAccounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost
Convertible debentures - debt host Amortized cost
Convertible debentures - derivative liabilities FVTPL
Due to related parties Amortized cost
Fair value of financial instrumentsThe Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with the three level fair value hierarchies 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 fair value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The difference between the fair value and carrying amount is minimal. Other receivable and convertible debentures are accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, which approximates their fair value based on current interest rate for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value of the derivative liabilities was based on Level 3 inputs.
Financial risk management objectives and policiesThe risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
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 attributable to cash. Cash is held with a reputable financial institution, from which management believes the risk of credit loss to be minimal.
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's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient cash available to meet liabilities when they become due and payable. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $1,136,266 (December 31, 2024 -
$15,879) to settle current liabilities of $746,619 (December 31, 2024 - $1,053,800) (see note 2). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or less and are subject to normal trade terms except the longterm accounts payable (note 11) and convertible debentures (note 12).
The long-term accounts payable are classified as non-current liabilities, as they are not contractually due within the next 12 months. These balances are subject to contractual repayment terms extending beyond one year.
Based on the Company's current cash position and expected cash flows, management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term obligations as they fall due. The Company's ability to meet its long-term obligations is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and/or obtain additional financing, if required.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as foreign currencies and commodity and equity prices.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's functional currency, and that of all its subsidiaries, is the Canadian dollar. Some of the operational and other expenses incurred outside of Canada are paid in US dollars or Peruvian Nuevo Sol. All assets and liabilities of the Company are recorded in Canadian dollars and as a result, fluctuations in the US dollar or Peruvian Nuevo Sol vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar result in foreign exchange gains/losses. The Company currently has no plans for hedging its foreign currency transactions.
The Company has net financial liabilities of approximately $63,630 (2024 - net financial assets of approximately
$286,175) that are denominated in US dollars. A 5% change in the US dollars to the Canadian dollar exchange rate
would impact the Company's profit or loss by $3,182 (2024- $14,309).
The Company has net financial liabilities of approximately $119,179 (2024 - $114,135) that are denominated in Peruvian Nuevo Sol. A 5% change in the US dollars to the Canadian dollar exchange rate would impact the Company's profit or loss by $5,959 (2024 - $5,707).
Commodity and equity price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices, particularly as they relate to base and precious metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market in general to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
-
Investments at fair value through profit or loss
As at year ended December 31, 2025, the Company held publicly traded equity securities as below. These investments are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
The fair value of the investments is determined based on quoted market prices in active markets. Any unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss during the period. Please refer to note 10.

On November 12, 2025, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") whereby the Company issued 22,000,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2,200,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.15 per common share for a period of three years from the date of issue, subject to early expiry in the event that the closing price of the common shares of the Company is $0.25 or higher for fifteen consecutive trading days at any time after the closing of the offering, upon which the warrants will expire thirty calendar days after notice to warrant holders through the Company's announcement with respect to the early expiry date. The proceeds was allocated pro-rata to the common shares and warrants based on their relative fair value. The common shares had an implied fair value of $550,978 and the combined fair value of the warrants is $1,649,022.
The fair value warrant was estimated on the date they were granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price of $0.32; exercise price of $0.15; expected dividend yield of 0%; risk-free interest rate of 2.44%; volatility of 190% and an expected life of 3 years.
In connection with the Offering, the Company has paid finders' fees $70,920 in cash and 709,200 warrants (the "Finder's Warrants"). Each Finder's Warrant has the same terms as the Warrants issued under the Offering.

The Niñobamba concession is located in the Department of Ayacucho, Peru and is owned 100% by the Company's wholly owned Peruvian subsidiary, Minera Rio Plata S.A.C., and is not subject to any royalties or exploration expenditures commitments.
On January 21, 2025, the Company entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with an arm's length party, African Energy Metals Inc. ("African Energy Metals") for African Energy Metals to earn a 100% undivided interest in the Niñobamba project (the "Project"). Per the terms of the Option agreement, African Energy Metals has the right to earn a 100% interest in the Project upon the full exercise of the option under the Option Agreement.
The Option Agreement requires a payment of CAD$260,000 during the first year of the Option Agreement and further payments of up to US$2,000,000, US$500,000 of which are advance payments on any royalties payable under the royalty agreement, pursuant to which a net smelter return royalty of 2% is granted to Rio Silver. African Energy Metals retains the right to buy back 1% of the NSR for US$1,000,000 prior to commercial production on the Project. The Option Agreement also requires the issuance to the Company of a total of 2,500,000 common shares of African Energy Metals upon receipt of regulatory approval and a further 2,500,000 common shares on the earlier of the date that is one year from the receipt of the Exchange's approval and May 15, 2026. Except for the payment totalling $260,000 which shall be paid in cash, African Energy Metals has the right but not the obligation to issue African Energy Metals shares in lieu of 50% of any cash payment obligation. African Energy Metals paid a deposit of $10,000 on a non-refundable basis to the Company when the Option Agreement was executed. The Company will provide operational support and use of the Company's facilities in Peru for a minimum of one year at the Company's cost. The share issuances and payments under the Option Agreement are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the NEX Exchange.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received $260,000 payment for the Option Agreement and 2,500,000 common shares of African Energy Metals valued at $312,500. During the year ended December 31, 2025, African Energy Metals changed its name to Magma Silver Corp.
Palta Dorada, PeruOn October 30, 2019, the Company closed a Transfer Agreement dated September 3, 2019, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% rights of two mining concessions ("Palta Dorada" or "Property") located in Moro district of Santa province, Ancash, Peru.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Peruvian Metals Corp ("Peruvian Metals") to jointly explore the Palta Dorada by initially conducting a detailed sampling and mapping program along with a bulk sampling campaign and processing the mineral at Peruvian Metals' 80% owned Aguila Norte Processing Plant ("Aguila Norte or Plant").
The Property is located in the Ancash Mining Department in Northern Peru and covers an area of approximately 1,200 hectares. The MOU establishes a joint effort to explore and develop the property. Any sales from metal concentrates produced from the bulk sampling activity and all operational expenses will be shared between companies. Peruvian Metals' 80% owned Plant will charge the joint effort commercial mineral processing rates on a similar basis to its other clients for processing the bulk samples. Peruvian Metals will also have the option to earn a 50% ownership in the Property. Equal ownership will occur once Peruvian Metals has matched Rio Silver's acquisition price of the project of USD $250,000 by assuming all capital and exploration expenditures. As at December 31, 2021, Peruvian Metals completed its earn-in requirement by investing USD $250,000 into the project, as result, the Company deemed to equally own Palta Dorada with Peruvian Metals.
As at December 31, 2023, Peruvian Metals has spent USD$684,527 (2022: USD$547,573) toward the Property and has an excess of USD$434,527(2022: USD$297,573). The excess investment contribution is considered as the loan. The loan will charge a 12% interest annually on the amount of exceeding the USD $250,000 from the proposed joint venture to be formed between the Company and Peruvian Metals and will be paid back from the cash flow of sales of concentrates or oxide gold after all operation expenses are paid. 50% of any positive cash flow will be paid to the loan and remaining 50% will be divided equally by the Company and Peruvian Metals. The Company has accrued $Nil on this loan and interest as at December 31, 2025 because the proposed joint venture has not been formed.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold its 50% interest in the Palta Dorada Property to Peruvian Metals. The consideration for the sale is $343,113 (USD$250,000) with the Company retaining a 3% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR" or Royalty"). Total payments from the NSR will be capped at US$2 million while the Company is guaranteed USD$250,000 in minimum royalty payments over the next five years, which will be paid semi-annually having a guaranteed minimum semi-annual payment amount of USD$25,000 starting December 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $642,999 gain from disposal Palta Dorada Property, of which $343,113 (USD$250,000) has been received as at December 31, 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has received USD$75,000 guaranteed royalty payments.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized an other receivable for the royalty payments at its fair value of $193,582, with $62,228 as the current portion and $131,254 as the long-term portion. This valuation was calculated by discounting the guaranteed minimum royalty payments using an effective interest rate of 10% over the five-year term.
Gerow Lake, CanadaThe Gerow Lake property is a base metal project located in northwestern Ontario. The Company has a 100% interest subject to a 2.5% NSR applicable to 40% of the revenue generated from 14 of the 36 mineral claims (the Company having the right to purchase 1% of the NSR for $1,000,000) and, a 2% NSR on 100% of the claims (the Company having the right to purchase the NSR for $200,000).
Maria Norte, PeruOn March 26, 2025, the Company signed a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Minas Maria Norte ("Maria Norte" or the "Property") high grade polymetallic silver, exploitation property, from Peruvian Metals Corp. ("Peruvian") (TSX-V PER) being subject to regulatory approval. On June 25, 2025, August 12, 2025 and September 17, 2025, the agreement was amended.
Under the amended terms of the agreement, the Company will acquire from Peruvian its wholly own 100% ownership interest of Mamanina Exporaciones S.A.C (the "Mamanina"), a Peruvian corporation, which holds mining rights in Maria Norte project located in Peru. Consideration includes a cash downpayment of $15,000 (paid) and US$12,500 (C$17,238), cash payment for the concessions of US$10,000 (C$13,800) (paid) and the issuance of lesser 3,999,999 common shares (issued) representing 9.27% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Cash payments totaling US$250,000 (C$292,191) will be also payable over a 5 year period (US$50,000 paid).
As of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized an accounts payable for the cash payments of US$200,000 at its fair value of $220,582, with $63,764 as the current portion and $156,818 as the long term portion. This valuation was calculated by discounting the cash payments using an effective interest rate of 10% over the five-year term.
The acquisition Mamanina does not constitute a business combination because this entity does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS3: Business Combination. As a result, the transaction has been measured at the fair value of equity consideration issued to acquire these entities. The fair value of the consideration paid was determined based on the fair value of the assets received as determined based on IFRS2: Share Based Payments.

Convertible Debentures
On December 1, 2022, the Company entered into convertible debentures agreements with the CEO and other arm's length lenders and issued convertible debentures (the "Notes A") in the aggregate principal amount of $225,250. The Notes will mature in 24 months from the date of issuance and bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum, payable quarterly, until the Notes are converted or repaid. The Notes can be converted into one common share of the Company at $0.05 in the first 12 month from the issue date and $0.10 thereafter. The Company is entitled to repay the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, at any time commencing four months after the date of issuance.
Since the conversion features offer a variable price and a variable number of shares to settle the Notes, the conversion feature has been accounted for as a derivative liability under IFRS. Accordingly, the fair value of the conversion feature, being $60,615 of the issuance proceeds was allocated to the derivative liability and the remaining $164,635 was allocated to the Loan.
The fair value of the derivative liability at the date of issuance was determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price of $0.035; expected life of 2 years; $nil dividends; 123% volatility; risk-free interest rate of 3.79% and a conversion price of $0.05 and $0.10.
The Company amortizes the debt component of the Notes using an effective interest rate of 64.05% over the term of the Notes. For the year ended December 31, 2025, $nil (2024: $6,051) in interest expense was recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repaid principal amounts of $20,000.
On December 1, 2024, the Company entered into convertible debentures agreements with an arm's length lenders and issued convertible debentures (the "Notes B") in the aggregate principal amount of $20,000. The Notes will mature in 24 months from the date of issuance and bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum, payable quarterly, until the Notes are converted or repaid. The Notes can be converted into one common share of the Company at $0.03 in the first 12 month from the issue date and $0.06 thereafter. The Company is entitled to repay the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, at any time commencing four months after the date of issuance.
Since the conversion features offer a variable price and a variable number of shares to settle the Notes, the conversion feature has been accounted for as a derivative liability under IFRS. Accordingly, the fair value of the conversion feature, being $7,689 of the issuance proceeds was allocated to the derivative liability and the remaining $12,311 was allocated to the Loan.
The fair value of the derivative liability at the date of issuance was determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price of $0.02; expected life of 2 years; $nil dividends; 192% volatility; risk-free interest rate of 3.02% and a conversion price of $0.03 and $0.06.
The Company amortizes the debt component of the Notes using an effective interest rate of 51.47% over the term of the Notes. For the year ended December 31, 2025, $2,966 (2024: $243) in interest expense was recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
The fair value of the derivative liability at November 17, 2025 was determined to be $21,369 using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price of $0.29; expected life of 1.04 years; $nil dividends; 191% volatility; risk-free interest rate of 2.48% and a conversion price of $0.15 and $0.30. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on the revaluation of the embedded derivative of $13,720 for the year ended December 31, 2025.
On November 17, 2025, the debenture holder elected to convert the debenture prior to maturity in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Upon conversion, the Company issued 133,333 common shares. The shares issued were measured at their fair value of $38,666 on the conversion date.
The carrying amounts of the related debt and derivative liabilities were derecognized, and the difference between the carrying amount of the liabilities extinguished and the fair value of the shares issued resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,777, which was recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
