On January 17, 2024, the Company issued 335,000 bonus shares at a fair value of $40,200 to certain executive officers and consultants of the Company in accordance with the Company's shareholder approved bonus share plan.
Share purchase and finders' warrantsThere were no activities that occurred during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Bonus share planThe Company has a bonus share plan ("Bonus Plan") that enables the directors to approve the issuance of bonus shares to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company. The Bonus Plan puts the number of bonus shares that may be issued under the Bonus Plan to be 400,000 common shares per year. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, nil bonus shares (September 30, 2024 - 335,000) were issued under this plan. The share-based expense associated with bonus shares granted during the year ending September 30, 2024, amounted to $40,200, calculated based on the fair market value at the grant date.
Stock optionsThe Company has established a rolling stock option plan ("Option Plan") enabling the directors to grant options to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company. From time to time, shares may be reserved by the Board, in its discretion, for options under the Option Plan, provided that the total number of shares reserved for issuance by the Board shall not exceed
10% of the issued and outstanding listed shares (on a non-diluted basis) less that portion of the 400,000 that may be issued as bonus shares that have not been so issued as at the date of grant. Options are non-assignable and may be granted for a term not exceeding that permitted by the Exchange, currently ten years. All stock options issued are subject to vesting terms. Options issued to directors, vest in the amount of 33% every six months from the date of grant; and options issued to officers and/or consultants vest between 12 and 24 months depending on date of grant and nature of service. The exercise price of each option equals the market price, minimum price, or discounted market price of the Company's shares as calculated on the date of grant.
Share-based payments relating to options vested during the six months ended March 31, 2025, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $58,785 (September 30, 2024 - $131,410), of which $nil was associated with the incremental fair value of stock options repriced as a result of the Arrangement. The associated share-based payment expense for the options granted was calculated based on the following weighted average assumptions:

Capital management
The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it, based on the funds available to the Company, to support the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets. In the management of capital, the Company includes components of shareholders' equity. 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 business. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund activities. To carry out 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 an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. The Company is not currently subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the six months ended March 31, 2025.
-
Financial instruments
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and government loan approximate carrying value, which is the amount recorded on the statements of financial position. The fair value of the Company's public company short-term investments is based on level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Financial instruments valued at level 3 inputs consist of the Company's private company short-term investments. The key assumptions driving the valuation of the private company short-term investments include but are not limited to the value of completed financings by the investee.
The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held with major financial institutions in Canada and Mexico which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Receivables consist of tax refunds from the Federal Government of Canada and Mexico, in which regular collection occurs. The Company believes its credit risk is equal to the carrying value of this balance.
Liquidity risk
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,768,315 to settle current liabilities of $1,808,786. The Company believes it has sufficient funds to meet its current liabilities as they become due.
Interest rate risk
The Company has interest-bearing cash balances. The interest earned on cash balances approximates fair value rates, and the Company is not at significant risk to fluctuating interest rates. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had investments in short-term deposit certificates of $23,000.
Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on profit or loss and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of gold, silver and copper, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
The Company currently maintains short-term investments, which include marketable securities (Note 4). There can be no assurance that the Company can exit these positions if required, resulting in proceeds approximating the carrying value of these securities.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in US dollars (US) and Mexican pesos.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company operates in Mexico and is exposed to risk from changes in the US dollar and the Mexican peso. A simultaneous 10% fluctuation in the US dollar and Mexican peso against the Canadian dollar would affect loss for the period by $360,414.
The Company holds marketable securities and is exposed to risk from changes in the share price of the marketable securities. A simultaneous 5% fluctuation in share prices would affect short-term investments and loss for the period by approximately
$3,574.

Mexico tax liability
During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company received a final verdict of a lawsuit against the Government of Mexico. The funds provided by the Company to its wholly owned subsidiary Riverside Resources Mexico S.A. de C.V. ("RRM") in fiscal 2010 were deemed to be income. The Mexican tax authority passed a decision to impose a lien on RRM's assets and a tax penalty of $1,131,026 (MXN16,445,464) on RRM. Accordingly, the Company recorded a tax penalty totaling
$1,131,026. The Mexican tax authority has not enforced the lien and the lien does not impede RRM's ability to carry out its business operations.
As at March 31, 2025, the Company adjusted the provisional liability to $1,157,764 (September 30, 2024 - $1,129,636) as a result of the foreign exchange movement.
