FINANCIAL REVIEW
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF RADIUS GOLD INC.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Radius Gold Inc. (the "Company"), which
comprise:
the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2021 and 2020;
the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the years then ended;
the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years then ended;
the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended; and
the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies.
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, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated
financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
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 Auditors’ 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 audit 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 in our audits is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
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 audit of the consolidated financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditors' report. If, based on
the work we have performed, 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, 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.
Auditors' 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease
to continue as a going concern.
2
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.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance 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 audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
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.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report is Michelle Chi Wai So.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Radius Gold Inc. (the “Company”) was formed by the amalgamation of Radius Explorations Ltd. and PilaGold Inc.
effective on July 1, 2004 under the laws of British Columbia.
The Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties and investment in companies which
hold mineral property interests. The address of the Company’s head office and principal place of business is 650 – 200
Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6C 3L6.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The accounting policies set out in Note 3 have been applied consistently by the Company and its subsidiaries to all
periods presented.
Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial
instruments measured at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual
basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“CDN”), which is the Company’s and its
subsidiaries’ functional currency.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting
estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas
involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the
consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
At the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to cause
significant disruptions to the global economy and increased volatility in the global financial markets. While the COVID-
19 pandemic has not significantly impacted the Company’s operations during the 2021 fiscal year, the extent to which
COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s business and financing opportunities going forward will depend on
future developments such as the geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and
social distancing at the properties, business closures or business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in
Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these consolidated financial
statements.
a) Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. A
wholly owned subsidiary is an entity in which the Company has control, directly or indirectly, where control is defined
as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All
material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are deconsolidated
from the date control ceases.
Details of the Company’s principal subsidiaries at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:
Name
Minerales Sierra Pacifico S.A.
Radius Gold (U.S.) Inc.
Geometales Del Norte-Geonorte
Radius (Cayman) Inc.

The Company earns revenue from royalty agreements and is based on amounts contractually due. Royalty revenue is
measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable when the Company can reliably estimate the amount,
pursuant to the terms of the royalty agreement. For royalty interests, revenue recognition generally occurs in the month
of production from the royalty property.
Royalty revenue may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated metal prices, weights, and assays.
Adjustments recorded upon final settlement are offset against revenue when incurred. Variations between the estimated
price recorded upon production and the actual final price set upon final settlement are caused by changes in market
commodity prices, and result in an embedded derivative in the receivable. The embedded derivative is recorded at fair
value each period until final settlement occurs, with changes in fair value classified as provisional price adjustments and
included as a component of royalty revenue. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no embedded derivative.
c)
Investment in Associate
Where the Company has significant influence over the financial and operating policy decisions of another entity, it is
classified as an associate. Associates are initially recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost.
The Company's share of post-acquisition profits and losses is recognized in profit or loss, except that losses in excess of
the Company’s investment in the associate are not recognized unless there is an obligation to fund those losses.
Profits and losses arising on transactions between the Company and its associates are recognized only to the extent of
unrelated investors' interests in the associate. The investor's share in the associate's profits and losses resulting from these
transactions is eliminated against the carrying value of the associate.
Any premium paid for an associate above the fair value of the Company's share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities acquired is capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the associate. Adjustments to the
carrying amount may also be necessary for changes in the Company's proportionate interest in the associate arising from
changes in the associate's other comprehensive income. Such adjustments to the carrying amount are charged to
operations as a gain or loss on dilution in the associate. Where there is objective evidence that the investment in an
associate has been impaired, the carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in the same way as other
non-financial assets.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
d) Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and presentation currency of the Company and its principal subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.
Transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are translated as follows: unsettled
monetary items denominated in a foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates prevailing at
the date of the statement of financial position and non-monetary items are translated at exchange rates prevailing when
the assets were acquired or obligations incurred. Foreign currency denominated revenue and expense items are translated
at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Gains or losses arising from the translations are included in profit or
loss.
e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and on hand, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an
insignificant risk of change of value.
f) Mineral Property and Royalty Interests
Exploration and evaluation assets
Acquisition costs for exploration and evaluation assets are capitalized and include the cash consideration paid and the
fair value of common shares issued on acquisition, at the earlier of the date the counterparty’s performance is complete
or the share issuance date. Exploration expenditures, net of recoveries, are charged to operations as incurred. After a
property is determined by management to be commercially feasible, exploration and development expenditures on the
property will be capitalized. On transfer to development properties, capitalized exploration and evaluation assets are
assessed for impairment.
Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee and amounts received from optionees in connection with
option agreements are credited against the capitalized acquisition costs classified as exploration and evaluation assets on
the consolidated statement of financial position, with amounts received in excess credited to gain from mineral property
option agreements in profit or loss.
Where the Company has entered into option agreements to acquire interests in exploration and evaluation assets that
provide for periodic payments or periodic share issuances, amounts unpaid and unissued are not recorded as liabilities
since they are payable and issuable entirely at the Company’s option. Option payments are recorded as exploration and
evaluation costs when the payments are made or received and the share issuances are recorded as exploration and
evaluation costs using the fair market value of the Company’s common shares at the earlier of the date the counterparty’s
performance is complete or the share issuance date.
The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its exploration and evaluation assets and has not yet
determined the amount of reserves available. Management reviews the carrying value of exploration and evaluation
assets on a periodic basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable, the Company will test the asset for impairment based upon a variety of factors, including current
exploration results, the prospect of further work being carried out by the Company, the assessment of future probability
of profitable revenues from the asset or from the sale of the asset. Amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets
represent costs incurred to date, net of write-downs and recoveries, and are not intended to represent present or future
values.
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures
that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and which do not contribute to current or future revenue
generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable
and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals would be when the actual
environmental disturbance occurs.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
f) Mineral Property and Royalty Interests (cont’d)
Royalties
Royalty interests consist of acquired royalties in producing and exploration and evaluation stage properties. They are
subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Producing properties are those that have generated revenue from steady-state operations for the Company. Exploration
and evaluation stage properties represent early stage exploration properties that are speculative and are expected to
require more than two years to generate revenue, if ever, or are currently not active.
Producing royalty interests are recorded at cost and capitalized in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and
Equipment. Producing royalty interests are depleted using the units-of-production method over the life of the property to
which the interest relates, which is estimated using available estimates of proven and probable reserves specifically
associated with the properties. Management relies on information available to it under contracts with the operators and/or
public disclosures for information on proven and probable reserves and resources from the operators of the producing
royalty interest.
Royalty interests for exploration and evaluation assets are recorded at cost and capitalized in accordance with IFRS 6,
Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Acquisition costs of exploration and evaluation royalty interests
are capitalized and are not depleted until such time as revenue-generating activities begin.
g) Property, Equipment and Amortization
Recognition and Measurement
On initial recognition, property and equipment are valued at cost, being the purchase price and directly attributable costs
of acquisition required to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in a manner
intended by the Company, including appropriate borrowing costs and the estimated present value of any future
unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing items. The corresponding liability is recognized within provisions.
Property and equipment is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization, less any accumulated
impairment losses, with the exception of land, which is not amortized.
When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items
(major components) of property and equipment.
Gains and Losses
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from
disposal with the carrying amount, that are recognized net within other income in profit or loss.
Amortization
Amortization is recognized in profit or loss and property and equipment is amortized over their estimated useful lives
using the following methods:
Trucks
Computer equipment
Furniture and equipment
Geophysical equipment
Field equipment
4 – 8 years straight-line
25% –50% declining balance
20% declining balance
20% declining balance

Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are initially recorded at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability and
any initial direct costs incurred less any lease payments made at or before the initial recognition date. ROU assets are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset if the Company expects to take ownership
of the asset at the end of the lease term, or over the lease term if the Company does not expect to take ownership of the
asset at the end of the lease term. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company’s
intention is to exercise that option. ROU assets are periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for
re-measurements of the lease obligation.
i) Earnings/Loss per Share
Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated by dividing the net earnings loss available to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
of securities that could share in earnings of the Company.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, potentially dilutive common shares (relating to options outstanding at year-end)
totaling 5,870,000 (2020: 5,595,000) were not included in the computation of earnings/loss per share, because their effect
was anti-dilutive. As such, basic and diluted earnings and losses per share were the same for the periods presented.
j)
Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognized in net loss/income except
to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive
loss/income.
Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for
the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are
determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax
base, except for those taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill or on the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to
those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can
be utilized. At the end of each reporting year the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company
recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable
profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
k) Share Capital
Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. Financial instruments
issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial
liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares, share warrants, and options are classified as equity
instruments.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of
tax, from proceeds.
Warrants issued by the Company typically accompany an issuance of shares in the Company (a “Unit”) and entitle the
warrant holder to exercise the warrants for a stated price and a stated number of common shares in the Company. The
fair value of the Unit’s components sold is measured using the residual value approach. The proceeds received are first
allocated to common shares at the time the Units are priced, and any excess is allocated to warrants.

l)
Share-based Payments
Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged
to profit or loss over the vesting period. Performance vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number
of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over
the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. As long as all other vesting conditions are
satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not
adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied.
Where terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options,
measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting
period.
Where equity instruments are granted to employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the equity instrument granted
at the grant date. The grant date fair value is recognized in profit or loss over the vesting period, described as the period
during which all the vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services
received in profit or loss. Options or warrants granted related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of
share capital.
When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the
fair value is measured by use of a valuation model or the fair value of the shares granted.
All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in other equity reserve, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are
issued from treasury and the amount reflected in other equity reserve is credited to share capital, adjusted for any
consideration paid.
Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions
are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes
the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period.
Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to
the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any
such excess is recognized as an expense.
m) Provisions
Rehabilitation Provision
The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations relating to environmental disturbances caused by
exploration and evaluation activities. The Company records the present value of the estimated costs of legal and
constructive obligations required to restore the exploration sites in the year in which the obligation is incurred. The nature
of the rehabilitation activities may include restoration, reclamation and revegetation of the affected exploration sites.
The rehabilitation provision generally arises when the environmental disturbance is subject to government laws and
regulations. When the liability is recognized, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the
carrying amount of the related exploration properties. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the changes in
present value based on current market discount rates and liability specific risks.
As at December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no significant asset retirement or rehabilitation obligations.
Other Provisions
Provisions are recognized where a legal or constructive obligation has been incurred as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable
estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. If material, provisions are measured at the present value of the
expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in any provision due to passage of time is
recognized as accretion expense.

n)
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Impairment tests on non-financial assets, including exploration and evaluation assets, are undertaken whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an
asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal, the asset is
written down accordingly.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on
the asset’s cash-generating unit, which is the lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are
separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets.
An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognized in other
comprehensive loss/income.
o) Financial Instruments
Financial Assets
The Company recognizes a financial asset when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The
Company classifies financial assets at initial recognition as financial assets: measured at amortized cost, measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income or measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset that meets both of the following conditions is classified as a financial asset measured at amortized cost.
- The Company’s business model for the such financial assets, is to hold the assets in order to collect contractual
cash flows.
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the amount outstanding.
A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable
to the asset. After initial recognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset measured at amortized cost is determined
using the effective interest method, net of impairment loss, if necessary.
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)
A financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized initially at fair value plus
transaction costs directly attributable to the asset. After initial recognition, the asset is measured at fair value with changes
in fair value included in other comprehensive income.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
A financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognized initially at fair value with any associated
transaction costs being recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Subsequently, the financial asset is re-measured at fair
value, and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss in the reporting period in which it arises.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset if the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the
Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. Any interests in transferred
financial assets that are created or retained by the Company are recognized as a separate asset or liability. Gains and
losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial
assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
o) Financial Instruments (cont’d)
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as amortized cost, based on the purpose for which the liability was incurred. These
liabilities are initially recognized at fair value net of any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the
instrument and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. This ensures that any
interest expense over the period to repayment is at a constant rate on the balance of the liability carried in the statement
of financial position. Interest expense in this context includes initial transaction costs and premiums payable on
redemptions, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.
Accounts payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the period
which are unpaid. Accounts payable amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within forty-five days of recognition.
The Company has made the following designations of its financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents
Equity investments
Derivative investments
Receivables
Deposits
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Lease liability
FVTPL
FVTOCI
FVTPL
Amortized cost
Amortized cost
Amortized cost
Amortized cost
p) Lease Liabilities
The lease liability is measured at the present value of the expected lease payments over the lease term, discounted at the
implicit rate in the lease; if the rate cannot be determined, the incremental borrowing rate of the asset or asset grouping
is used. The lease liability is increased for the passage of time and payments on the lease are offset against the lease
liability. The liability is subsequently re-measured when there is a change in the lease agreement, such as a change in
future lease payments or if the Company decides to purchase, extend, or terminate the lease option. When the lease
liability is re-measured, an adjustment is applied to the carrying value of the ROU asset.
q) Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Not Yet Effective
The Company has reviewed upcoming policies and determined that none are expected to have an impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience
may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in profit or loss in the period
of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change
affects both.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (cont’d)
The key areas of judgment applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that could result in a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows:
a) Where the Company holds a material shareholding in an investment and has the power to exercise significant
influence through common officers and board members, such an investment is treated as an associate. The Company
can exercise significant influence over Rackla Metals Inc. (“Rackla”).
b) The functional currency for each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the entity operates. Determination of the functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine
the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders functional currency of its entities if there is a
change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.
c) The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets and royalty interests
requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company.
If, after exploration and evaluation assets are capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the carrying
amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount, the Company carries out an
impairment test at the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units level in the year the new information
becomes available.
d) The determination of when receivables are impaired requires significant judgment as to their collectability.
e) The Company applies judgment in determining whether a lease contract contains an identified asset, whether they
have the right to control the asset, and the lease term. The lease term is based on considering facts and circumstances,
both qualitative and quantitative, that can create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options. Management
considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to
exercise a termination option.
f) Although the Company has taken steps to identify any decommissioning liabilities related to mineral properties in
which it has an interest, there may be unidentified decommissioning liabilities present.
The key estimates applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that could result in a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows:
a) The Company is subject to income tax in several jurisdictions and significant judgment is required in determining
the provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for
which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As a result, the Company recognizes tax liabilities based on
estimates of whether additional taxes and interest will be due. These tax liabilities are recognized when, despite the
Company's belief that its tax return positions are supportable, the Company believes that certain positions are likely
to be challenged and may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. The Company believes that its
accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open audit years based on its assessment of many factors including
past experience and interpretations of tax law. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve
a series of complex judgments about future events. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is
different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact income tax expense in the period in which such
determination is made.
b)
In estimating the fair value of share-based payments and derivative instruments, using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model, management is required to make certain assumptions and estimates. Changes in assumptions used to
estimate fair value could result in materially different results.
c) The Company uses estimation in determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability.
Where the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the discount rate of the lease obligations is estimated
using a discount rate similar to the Company’s specific borrowing rate.

Uncollectable amounts included in the provision are written off against the provision when there is no expectation of
recovery. The royalty revenue receivable was uncollected as of December 31, 2021 as the Company has allowed Kappes,
Cassiday & Associates (“KCA”) to defer payment of the balance while KCA continues a legal strategy to overturn the
suspension of operations of its mine-site and seek compensation from the Guatemalan authorities, from which the
Company would seek to benefit as well (Note 12).

11. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE
Rackla
As at December 31, 2021, the Company held 3,973,275 (2020: 3,973,275) common shares of Rackla, representing 11.4%
(2020: 15.7%) of Rackla’s outstanding common shares. Although the Company holds less than 20% of the ownership
interest and voting control of Rackla, the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence through both its
shareholding and the number of common directors with Rackla. As such, Rackla meets the definition of an associate and
has been equity accounted for in the consolidated financial statements.
The following table shows the continuity of the Company’s investment in Rackla for the years ended December 31, 2021
and 2020:
Balance, December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021
$ 1
Prior to the 2015 fiscal year the Company’s share of losses in Rackla exceeded the carrying value of its interest and
therefore the Company discontinued recognizing its share of further losses. The cumulative unrecognized share of losses
for the associate as at December 31, 2021 is $715,782 (2020: $689,982).

Guatemala
i) Southeast Guatemala Ag-Au Epithermal Fields (formerly called Banderas)
The Company’s 100% owned land holdings in southeast Guatemala as at December 31, 2021 consist of 44
concessions (one granted exploration licence, forty exploration applications, two exploitation applications, and one
reconnaissance application) filed with the Guatemala Ministry of Energy and Mines. The two exploitation
applications were filed in order to convert one previously granted exploration licence to exploitation; until the
exploitation licences are granted, the granted exploration licence remains in place.
In May 2020, the Company signed an agreement whereby it granted to Volcanic the exclusive option (the “Option”)
to acquire a 60% interest in the Company’s granted exploration licence (known as the Holly and Banderas gold-
silver properties) (the “Properties”). Volcanic may exercise the Option by raising a minimum $3.0 million financing
(completed in 2020) and spending US$7.0 million on exploration of the Properties within 48 months from the date
drilling permits for the Properties are granted (granted in March 2021). An initial US$1.0 million must be spent on
exploration within 12 months of receiving the required drill permits (incurred), including a minimum 3,000 metres
of drilling (completed). Volcanic was also required to make a cash payment to the Company of $100,000 which was
received during the 2020 fiscal year and recorded as a gain on mineral property option agreements. Upon exercise
of the Option, Volcanic will enter into a standard 60/40 joint venture with the Company in order to further develop
the Properties.
Volcanic also has the exclusive right for 24 months following the execution of the Option to evaluate the Company’s
other land holdings in Guatemala and to enter into an agreement to acquire an interest in any of such other properties
on reasonable mutually agreed upon terms.
ii) Tambor Project Royalty
In 2012, the Company sold its interest in its subsidiary, Exploraciones Mineras de Guatemala S.A., which holds the
Tambor gold project, to KCA, giving KCA a 100% interest in the project. KCA agreed to make royalty payments to
the Company, upon commercial production, based on the then price of gold and the number of ounces produced
from the property.
Commercial production commenced in December 2014. In May 2016, KCA informed the Company that mining
operations were suspended by the Supreme Court of Guatemala due to a lack of consultation by the Guatemalan
Ministry of Mines with local indigenous people when the mine was permitted in 2011. To date, the Supreme Court
has not made a decision on when the mine may re-open.
There was no royalty income recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
As at December 31, 2021, all gold sales subject to the Company’s royalty had been final settled and the balance that
remained unpaid to the Company was $784,180. Due to the uncertainty as to when the mine may re-open and when
the amount owing by KCA to the Company will be paid, a provision of $784,180 against the receivable amount was
charged to operations in 2016.

USA
Bald Peak Property
In 2017, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Bald Peak gold property from Nevada Select Royalty, Inc.
(“Nevada Select”) in consideration of a cash payment to Nevada Select of $46,032 (US$35,115), the granting to Nevada
Select and/or a former property owner of a total 3% NSR royalty and making annual advance royalty payments to Nevada
Select of US$25,000. The advance royalty payments were to become payable on the date the Company received a drill
permit for the property and on each annual anniversary thereof so long as the Company held title to the property. The
Company had the right to reduce either royalty by 1% by paying US$1.0 million to Nevada Select, and/or US$500,000
to the former owner.
In 2017, the Company staked an additional 113 unpatented mining claims at a cost of $71,784, increasing the land
position of the Bald Peak Property to 140 unpatented mining claims in Mineral County, Nevada and eleven unpatented
mining claims and one mineral prospecting licence in Mono County, California. During the 2020 fiscal year, the
Company allowed a portion of the staked Mineral County claims to lapse, reducing the unpatented mining claims in
Nevada from 140 to 50.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company decided it will not renew all claims comprising the Bald Peak
Property, and as a result, the Company wrote off acquisition costs totaling $117,816 during the year ended December
31, 2021.

b) Fair Value of Options Granted During the Year
The weighted average fair value at grant date of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 was
$0.25 per option (2020: $0.13).
The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at December 31, 2021 is 5.21 years
(2020: 5.93 years).
Options Issued to Employees
The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the
exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility
of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.
Options Issued to Non-Employees
Options issued to non-employees are measured based on the fair value of the goods or services received, at the date
of receiving those goods or services. If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be estimated reliably,
the options are measured by determining the fair value of the options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model.

The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility (based on the remaining contractual life of the options),
adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information. The risk-free rate of
return is the yield on a zero-coupon Canadian Treasury Bill of a term consistent with the assumed option life. The
expected average option term is the average expected period to exercise, based on the historical activity patterns for
each individually vesting tranche.
Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility.
Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.
c) Expenses Arising from Share-based Payment Transactions
Total expenses arising from the share-based payment transactions recognized during the year ended December 31,

18. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available
that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance. All of the Company’s operations are within the mining sector relating to mineral
exploration. Due to the geographic and political diversity, the Company’s exploration operations are decentralized
whereby exploration managers are responsible for business results and regional corporate offices provide support to the
exploration programs in addressing local and regional issues. The Company’s operations are therefore segmented on a
district basis. The Company’s assets were located in Canada, USA, Guatemala, Mexico, and Cayman Islands. Details of
identifiable assets by geographic segments are as follows:

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company is exposed to the following financial risks:
Market Risk
Credit Risk
Liquidity Risk
In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments.
This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to
measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these consolidated
financial statements.
General Objectives, Policies and Processes
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company’s risk management objectives
and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and
operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company’s finance
function. The Board of Directors receive periodic reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put
in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting
the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.
a) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in market prices. Market prices are comprised of three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and equity
price risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies through its operations
in foreign countries. The Company monitors this exposure but has no hedge positions. As at December 31, 2021 and
2020, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities denominated in
currencies other than the Canadian dollar:
December 31, 2021

Current liabilities
Based on the above net exposures at December 31, 2021, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the above currencies
against the Canadian dollar would result in approximately a $39,900 (2020: $13,800) increase or decrease in profit or
loss, respectively.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)
General Objectives, Policies and Processes (cont’d)
a) Market Risk (cont’d)
Commodity Price Risk
The Company’s royalty revenue has been derived from a royalty interest that is based on the extraction and sale of gold.
Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of gold discovered or extracted. Gold prices
have historically fluctuated widely. Consequently, the economic viability of the Company’s royalty interest cannot be
accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in gold prices. The Company has not engaged in any
hedging activities. The Company is not exposed to commodity price risk as the Company has not earned any royalty
revenue during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The
Company does not have any borrowings. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on
cash held with chartered Canadian financial institutions. The Company considers this risk to be limited as it holds no
assets or liabilities subject to variable rates of interest.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the uncertainty associated with the valuation of assets arising from changes in equity markets. The
Company’s equity investments consisting of common shares and derivative investments consisting of share purchase
warrants are exposed to significant equity price risk due to the potentially volatile and speculative nature of the businesses
in which the investments are held. The Company’s equity investments are monitored by the Board with decisions on sale
or exercise taken by Management. A 10% decrease in fair value of the shares and warrants would result in an approximate
$74,000 (2020: $90,000) decrease in comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity.
b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents, equity
investments, derivative investments and receivables. The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash
and cash equivalents with large financial institutions. The Company does not have cash and cash equivalents or equity
investments that are invested in asset based commercial paper. For advances and other receivables, the Company
estimates, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and provides a provision for losses based on the estimated realizable
value.
c) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it will have sufficient funds to
meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by operations and
anticipated investing and financing activities. At December 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $2.2 million
(2020: $3.1 million) available to apply against short-term business requirements. All of the Company’s financial
liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 45 days and are subject to normal trade terms with the expectation of
the Company’s lease liability which matures based on the lease agreement (Note 13).
Determination of Fair value
Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When
applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific
to that asset or liability.
Management considers that due to their short-term nature the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities,
which include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, deposits, and accounts payables and accrued liabilities are assumed
to approximate their fair values.

Determination of Fair value (cont’d)

Fair Value Hierarchy

Book value
December 31,
2021
Fair value
$ 1
$ 1,609,176
Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped in Levels 1 to 3 based
on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
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
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).
The equity investments are based on quoted prices and are therefore considered to be Level 1. The derivative instruments
are based on inputs other than quoted prices and therefore considered to be Level 3. The lease liability is based on prices
and therefore considered to be Level 2. As of December 31, 2021, there was no embedded derivative on royalty income
receivables derived from gold prices to include as a Level 2 measurement and therefore no fair value measurement was
necessary. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
20. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
in order to advance its mineral properties. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company
prepares periodic budgets that are updated as necessary. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it to
effectively support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The properties in which the Company currently
has a direct or indirect interest are in the exploration or development stage. As such the Company is dependent on external
financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for general administrative costs, the
Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts 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.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the
relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company monitors its cash and cash equivalents, equity investments,
derivative investments, common shares, warrants and stock options as capital. There were no changes in the Company’s
approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s investment policy is to hold
cash in interest bearing bank accounts and highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with maturities of one
year or less and which can be liquidated at any time without penalties. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
is subject to externally imposed capital requirements and does not have exposure to asset-backed commercial paper or
similar products. The Company expects its current capital resources to be sufficient to carry out its planned exploration
programs and operating costs for the next twelve months.

Property Interests
Mexico – Amalia Project
The Amalia Project comprises 10,250 hectares located in the Sierra Madre gold belt in the State of Chihuahua,
Mexico. In June 2017, the Company signed a binding agreement with a private individual to option 380 hectares of
the project area which is host to high grade epithermal silver-gold mineralization. Following the signing of the
option agreement, the Company staked an additional 9,081 hectares surrounding the Amalia Project, covering three
new regional target areas. In late 2019, the Company signed a binding agreement with a private family to option
- 4 -
the adjacent 800-hectare Palmillas Property which hosts high-grade epithermal gold-silver mineralization. The
Palmillas concessions cover the northeastern and southwestern strike extension of the Amalia fault zone.
The Amalia Project is located approximately 25 kilometres SW of the historic Guadalupe y Calvo mining district
in Chihuahua, Mexico. During due diligence evaluation the Company’s geologists sampled bonanza grade outcrop
containing 20.4 g/t Au and 5,360 g/t Ag from a 1.2 metre chip. The Company established a camp at Amalia and
completed an initial exploration program comprising geological mapping, prospecting, and channel sampling of the
three main targets: San Pedro, Guadalupe and Dulces. Epithermal Au-Ag mineralization was sampled by the
Company in several veins, vein breccias and disseminated zones over 3.5 kilometres of strike length and a 600
metre vertical interval following the trace of the large regional Amalia fault zone.
In July 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Pan American Silver Corp. (“Pan American”) to drill
and explore the Amalia Project – see “Pan American Option Terms” below.
Addition of Palmillas Property / El Cuervo Target
In late 2019, the Company signed a binding agreement with a private family to option the 800-hectare Palmillas
Property which hosts high-grade epithermal gold-silver mineralization. The Palmillas concessions are immediately
adjoining the Amalia Project and cover the northeastern and southwestern strike extension of the Amalia fault zone.
Pan American has elected to exercise its right to include the Palmillas Property within the Amalia Project joint
venture. Pan American, as the operator will fund and manage the expanded project according to its option agreement
with the Company. The Palmillas Property hosts multiple exploration targets, including El Cuervo and Palmillas.
Phases 1 to 3 Drill Programs
In October and November 2018, the Company conducted an initial 9 hole - 1,909 metre diamond core drill program
at Amalia to test the three target zones across a strike length of 1.8 kilometres following the trace of the Amalia
regional fault and associated surficial epithermal gold and silver mineralization.
Five drill holes (AMDD-001 / 003 / 007 / 008 / 009) were drilled within the San Pedro structural corridor,
intercepting gold and silver mineralization in all holes and defining a 650 metre strike length of epithermal banded
veining, stockworks and multiphase breccia with significant gold and silver mineralization. A table of drill results
is listed below. This initial drill program resulted in discovery hole AMDD-009 which intersected 26 metres at 7.80
g/t Au and 517 g/t Ag, including bonanza interval of 5 metres at 14.71 g/t Au and 1,378 g/t Ag.
The Company commenced Stage 2 drilling at the San Pedro target in April 2019 completing six diamond holes,
AMDD19-010 to AMDD19-015, totalling 1,743 metres. The Stage 2 drill program expanded multiphase gold and
silver mineralization with high grade mineralized shoots expanded at San Pedro. Geological controls on the
mineralization are complex with multiple events of gold and silver mineralization within veins, stockworks and
hydrothermal breccias. The Amalia structure trends 320/60E and can be traced for several kilometres. The Amalia
fault is a large regional fault zone separating Tertiary rhyolitic ignimbrites from the Late Cretaceous Tarahumara
formation with gold and silver mineralization typically occurring within the hanging wall. High grade shoot control
is still uncertain but appears to be located by cross faults.
With Pan American as operator, a Phase 3 drill program at Amalia was conducted in October 2019. The drill
program included holes AMDD19-016 to AMDD19-021. The program was successful in proving that the high-
grade mineralized shoot continues with depth, up to 300 metres, and its lateral extents have been better defined.
Drill holes AMD002 / 004 / 005 / 006 targeted mineralization at the Guadalupe and Dulces zones. These drill holes
did not intercept significant gold/silver mineralization. The table below present the interesting results, with the
highlighting indicate the high points.

Phase 4 Drill Program
The Phase 4 drilling commenced in November 2020 and was designed to test down dip and lateral expansions of
the high-grade gold and silver mineralization of the San Pedro structure that was previously defined by drilling
Phases 1 to 3.
On April 27, 2021, the Company announced the completion of the Phase 4 drill program with 10 diamond holes,
AMDD20-022 to AMDD21-031, drilled totalling 4,385 metres. Significant results from the Phase 4 drilling include:

The drilling completed during stages 1 to 4, focused on the San Pedro target and has identified a coherent shoot of
high grade gold-silver mineralization commencing at surface and continuously defined 350 metres down dip. The
first shoot now appears to be closed off at depth and immediately adjacent.
Phase 5 Drill Program
Phase 5 drilling commenced in August 2021 at California and El Cuervo targets. To date, 3,814 metres of diamond
core drilling in 14 drill holes have been completed at California, and 4,752 metres of diamond drilling in 12 drill
holes have been completed at El Cuervo.
California target drilling intersected multi-phase breccia and stock-work vein systems with significant widths (up
to 50m) and high grades up to 4210 g/t Ag and 33.1 g/t Au (AMDD21-038). Drill platforms were located on 6
sections, spaced 200 metres apart. The drill program defined a coherent and robust silver gold mineralized system
over 1 kilometre and to a depth of 300 metres. The California structure has been mapped over 2.8 kilometres.
Mineralization is open in all directions.
California drill testing was limited to pre-existing roads that allowed easy access. Further on strike, targets such as
Oro Viejo, La Caverna, and California NW, are yet to be drill tested. At Oro Viejo, 1 kilometre northeast from the
current drilling, high grade gold has been sampled in surface rock chips with assays up to 27 g/t gold.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Reported drilling was carried out using NQ and HQ size tooling. Drill core was cut in half using a rock saw with
one half of the core then taken as a sample for analysis. Sample intervals are generally 1 metre intervals, producing
samples of between 2 to 9 kilograms. Half-core samples are delivered to the ALS Geochemistry laboratory facilities
in Chihuahua, Mexico. The samples are fire assayed for Au and are analysed for Ag and multi-elements using
method code ME-ICP61 following a four-acid digestion. Over-limits are analysed using an appropriate method.
Multi-element geochemical standards and blanks are routinely entered into the drill core sample stream to monitor
laboratory performance. Quality control samples submitted to ALS were returned within acceptable limits.
Pan American Option Terms
Pursuant to an agreement signed in June 2018, Pan American has the option to earn up to an initial 65% interest in
the Company’s Amalia Project and Palmillas Properties by making cash payments to the Company totaling US$1.5
million (of which US$800,000 has been received) and expending over four years US$2 million on exploration and
reimbursement of the Company’s costs to maintain its option agreements with the owners of Amalia and Palmillas.
Pan American may earn an additional 10% by advancing the property to preliminary feasibility.
Mexico – Plata Verde Project
In early 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement with a local concession holder to acquire a 100%
interest in the Plata Verde Project which consisted of the 300 hectare Don Benja concession covering an historic
silver mining camp located in Chihuahua, Mexico. The Plata Verde Project is located north of the Company’s
Amalia Gold-Silver project and east of the historic Batopilas silver mining district (1708 to 1920) which reputedly
produced over 300 million ounces of silver from high grade veins and structures. The property is accessible by road,
with a one hour hike required to access the historic mines.
The Company subsequently signed an option agreement with local concession holders to acquire the rights to the
500 hectare Don Jose concession that surrounds the 300 hectare Don Benja concession, bringing the Company’s
holdings at Plata Verde to 800 hectares. The Don Jose concession has no exploration history and covers the same
prospective rocks that host the Plata Verde silver mineralization. The Company has conducted limited prospecting
and stream sediment geochemistry at Don Jose.
When the Company’s geologists discovered Plata Verde Project, the property was accessed by a strenuous 6 hour
hike and all supplies and samples for subsequent exploration programs were transported by mules. A local
landowner has since constructed 4x4 road access to the property and has signed an agreement providing the
Company with legal right of way and use of the road to access the property.
At Plata Verde, the Company’s geologists re-discovered a large scale underground bulk mining operation where in
the late 1800’s, historic miners hand excavated an extensive series of anastomosing caverns, producing silver bars
at an associated smelter operation. The project was un-explored since the historic miners ceased their operations.
- 10 -
Initial phases of rock chip sampling by the Company returned widespread silver mineralization between 5 and 1,070
g/t Ag over a large area within the historic mines.
Geological Model and Silver Mineralization
At Plata Verde, the Company’s geological team completed several months of detailed underground mapping and
sampling of the historic Mina Real and Mina Mojonera. Three distinct mineralization styles have been defined
within the basaltic andesite volcanic host rock:
1. Multiple large scale breccia zones with chimney type structures up to 75 metre diameter and sampled on
multiple mine levels. The breccias are cemented by massive to crustiform banded barite calcite with silver
chlorides, sulphosalt minerals and native silver.
2. Fracture fill and stockwork silver mineralization occurs as massive to crustiform banded barite calcite with
silver chlorides, sulphosalt minerals and native silver.
3. Disseminated style mineralization with fine silver sulphosalts disseminated within the volcanic host with
little to no brecciation, veining or fracture fill.
All three mineralization styles host significant silver grades, although the highest grades are related to intense
brecciation and fracturing. Geological maps and sampling data are available at http://www.radiusgold.com/s/plata-
verde.asp.
In total, 255 2 x 2 metre panel samples were collected from the historic Mina Real and Mina Mojonera. Each mine
covers a shallow dipping anastomosing sequence of mining areas on at least 3 levels with Mina Real covering
approximately 200 x 200 metres and Mina Mojonera 150 x 150 metres. Results reported between 2 and 815 g/t Ag
and averaging 185 g/t Ag. Samples were collected to represent all rock types and mineralization styles.

directions.
Regional Geology and Stream Sediments
At Plata Verde, silver mineralization occurs as massive to crustiform banded barite calcite with silver chlorides,
sulphosalt minerals and native silver infilling and cementing breccias and fractures within a basaltic/andesite
extrusive volcanic. The basaltic/andesite host occurs at the base of the Upper Rhyolitic Volcanics of the Northern
Sierra Madre. In general, the silver mineralization is covered by the overlying rhyolitic volcanics and is only
exposed within the historic mines and at surface in a few areas along the length of a small creek.
The Company conducted a geological mapping and stream sediment sampling program within the district which
indicates that a north south orientated regional structural zone likely controls development of the mineralization at
- 11 -
Plata Verde. Stream sediment sampling at Plata Verde clearly identifies the creek where the historic mines are
exposed. There are also strong silver stream sediment anomalies (several times higher than background) that
indicate potential for further mineralization 300 metres to the east and 1,000 metres south of the known mines.
Discussion and Exploration Targets
During February 2021, the Company completed geophysical programs at Plata Verde, consisting of 7.5 line
kilometre magnetic survey and 4.5 line kilometre IP/Resistivity survey conducted by consultants, Geofisica TMC.
The program was designed to locate potential feeder systems below the historic silver mines and successfully
identified compelling drill targets below the known mines. All relevant data and sections from the geophysical
surveys are available on the Company’s website.
The Company has defined two priority targets:
1) Extensions and repetitions of the shallow dipping large scale silver rich breccias, stockworks and
disseminated silver mineralization exposed within the historic mines.
2) Sub-vertical feeder zones below the historic silver mines.
In general, the silver mineralization is covered by the overlying rhyolitic volcanics and is only exposed within the
historic mines and at surface in a few areas along the length of a small creek. The barite/silver chloride
mineralization appears to be a late-stage low temperature mineralizing event with the source and feeder systems an
attractive exploration target. Barite and silver chloride are often part of the upper levels or supergene zone around
large silver deposits. The solubility of barite and silver chlorides is low, and hence the source zone is likely to be
close by. Extensions of the known mineralization below the ignimbrite cover to the north, east and west are open.
Potential feeder structures have been clearly defined by the recent geophysics.
The Company has completed an environmental study in support of drill permits which have been granted.
Management is currently evaluating options to fund drilling later this year.
The Plata Verde Agreements
The Company may earn a 100% interest in the 300 hectare Don Benja concession by making staged payments

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Reported assays are rock chip and channels samples taken by Company geologists and trained sampling teams.
Sample intervals are generally 2 metre chip channels or 2x2 metre panels producing samples of between 2 to 9
kilograms. Reported samples were delivered to SGN Laboratories in Paral, Chihuahua. The samples were crushed
and pulverised. Two 100 gram splits were taken. The Company’s geologists removed and stored the excess and a
- 12 -
100 gram split at the Company’s offices. SGN performed initial Ag and Au analysis. The second split was
subsequently sent to the ALS Geochemistry laboratory facilities in Chihuahua, Mexico and was analysed for Ag
and multi-elements using method code ME-ICP61 following a four-acid digestion. Overlimits are analysed using
an appropriate method. All assays reported above 30 g/t Ag have been analysed by ALS Geochemistry. The
Company routinely inserts multi-element geochemical standards and blanks into the sample stream to monitor
laboratories performance. Quality control samples submitted were returned within acceptable limits. Comparisons
between sample splits demonstrate acceptable accuracy and precision.
Mexico – Maricela Project
In March 2021, the Company optioned the Maricela group of mineral concessions covering 155 hectares in the State
of Sonora, Mexico. The Project is within a prolifically mineralized Arizona – Sonora porphyry belt, one of the
most important centres of copper mineralization world-wide. Spatially and genetically related to this giant porphyry
trend are numerous epithermal gold and silver deposits. The Project has excellent infrastructure, with good road
access and internal roads, nearby power, water and low rolling terrain.
The Maricela property shows no evidence of previous drilling or systematic exploration. The property has a number
of small open pits and shafts where limited high grade material was mined in the 1950’s and 1960’s and shipped to
a processing plant in Cananea. Prior to the Company acquiring an interest in the Project, the most recent work
conducted was a small sampling program (24 samples) conducted by the Mexican Geological Survey in 2000.
In June 2021, the Company announced that its rock sampling programs identified both high grade gold-silver vein
targets and wide (up to 25 metres) stockwork and breccia zones. The combination of multiple intersecting vein
systems, with mineralized stockworks on the vein margins, result in large breccia and stockwork zones at the vein
intersections and compelling drill targets. Highlights from recent rock chip continuous sampling include:
• 3m at 4.46 g/t Au and 1335 g/t Ag - Baby Gloria Vein
• 6m at 1.03 g/t Au and 418 g/t - Ag Central Vein
• 25.3m at 0.31 g/t Au and 62 g/t Ag - (intersecting veins)
The project hosts an epithermal silver & gold mineralized vein system extending approximately 1.5 kilometres long
by 300 metres wide, within which occurs multiple veins, stockworks and breccias which at intersections have
exposed widths +25 metres. Recent mapping and sampling (273 rock chips) identified 6 major veins with combined
strike approximately of 5 kilometres.
The main vein Virgin de Plata strikes NW-SE and has been defined for approximately 1 kilometre. Virgin de Plata
is intersected by at least 5 veins (striking NE-SW) forming a horse tail structure of intersecting veins. The veins
are generally 1 to 3 metres of massive quartz with mineralized stockworks and brecciated veins selvages, extending
commonly +10 metres across the vein zones. At intersections, larger stockwork zones are observed. The
mineralization type is silver plus gold epithermal vein system hosted within an andesite volcanic sequence, with
felsic dykes emplaced sub-parallel to mineralized structures.
Continuous rock chip sampling was used to estimate the average grade and thickness of the outcropping veins.
Significant mineralized intervals are reported in Table 1:

Geological Model and Exploration Targets
The Company’s geological team believes the recent geochemical results demonstrate potential for both high grade
silver gold veins and bulk tonnage lower grade mineralization that could be amenable to open pit mining. Most of
the known veins and associated stockworks occur within a tightly spaced area approximately 1 kilometre x 600
metres, defining an obvious open pit target.
The district around Marcela is well known for high grade low sulphidation epithermal vein systems that extend to
significant depth with nearby examples: Silvercrest’s Las Chispas deposit (55 kilometres south) and Equinox
Gold’s Mercedes mine (55 kilometres southwest).
The multiple intersecting mineralized veins at Maricela make for compelling drill targets that have never been
tested. The Company’s team is currently preparing drill and access permits for a planned first program this year.
Maricela Drone Videos
The Company has flown drone videos over the property during the recent geological mapping program. The drone
videos highlight some of the property geology and potential and a short presentation clip is available on the
Company’s website and at the following link: https://youtu.be/s9SDtTRt0SM
The Option Agreement
The Company can earn a 100% interest in the Maricela Project by making staged payments to the private property
owner totalling US$1,250,000 over three years with a final payment of US$1,060,000 due at the end of year three.
A total of US$30,000 has been paid to date. The owner retains a 1% NSR which the Company can buy back for
US$1,000,000.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
- 14 -
Reported assays are rock chip and channels samples taken by Company geologists and trained sampling teams.
Sample intervals are generally 3m chip channels producing samples of between 2 to 9 kilograms. Reported samples
were delivered to ALS in Chihuahua. The samples were crushed and pulverised and two 100 gram splits were taken.
Company geologists transported a 100 gram split to SGN laboratory in Parral for rapid initial Ag and Au analysis.
The second split was analyzed by ALS Geochemistry for Au and Ag and multi-elements using method code ME-
ICP61 following a four-acid digestion. Overlimits are analyzed using an appropriate method. In effect duplicate
analysis was done on all samples, ALS geochemistry an internationally certified laboratory, and by SGN
Laboratories in Parral, a reliable mining laboratory that is not internationally certified. This was completed to
prevent delays which have become common during the COVID pandemic. The Company routinely inserts multi-
element geochemical standards and blanks into the sample stream to monitor both laboratories performance.
Quality control samples submitted were returned within acceptable limits. Comparisons between sample splits
demonstrate acceptable accuracy and precision.
Mexico – Rambler Project
In January 2019, the Company staked the 10,379 hectare Rambler Project located in the Sierra Madre Mountains
of the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, approximately 20 kilometres northwest of the Company’s Amalia Project. The
project area is previously unexplored with only minor historic artisanal-scale pitting of surface outcrops known.
The Company’s geologists discovered the project during regional prospecting surveys. Epithermal silver/gold (plus
significant copper, zinc and lead) mineralization has been sampled by the Company in several veins, vein breccias
and disseminated zones over a 9 kilometre north-west trend. The property will be further evaluated once the license
application has been granted.
Guatemala - Southeast Guatemala Ag-Au Epithermal Fields
The Company signed an agreement in May 2020 whereby it has granted to Volcanic the exclusive option (the
“Option”) to acquire a 60% interest in the Company’s Holly and Banderas gold-silver properties in Guatemala.
Volcanic may exercise the Option by spending US$7.0 million on exploration of the properties within 48 months
from the date drilling permits are granted. First year requirements of incurring at least US$1.0 million on
exploration, including carrying out a minimum 3,000 metres of drilling, have been completed by Volcanic.
Volcanic also has the exclusive right for 24 months following the execution of the Option to evaluate the Company’s
other property interests in Guatemala and to enter into an agreement to acquire an interest in any of such other
properties on reasonable mutually agreed upon terms.
Recent exploration activities conducted by Volcanic on the Holly and Banderas Properties are summarized below.
Holly Property
In April 2021, Volcanic commenced a 3,000 metre diamond core drilling program at Holly, with the emphasis on
exploring for high grade shoots associated with the intersection of the Jocotan Fault Zone and the NW-SE trending
high grade vein systems, El Pino and La Peña. To date, results received from the initial 30 diamond drill holes
completed on the La Peña target and the El Pino and Alpha structures. Highlights include:
• 30 holes completed to date testing three distinct vein sets cutting the Jocotan fault zone.
• Drilling cuts high grade gold and silver at La Peña and confirms vein orientations.
• Veins appear to be increasing in size with depth.

La Peña Target
- 17 -
The initial focus at the Peña vein system was to define the vein within the broad zone of the Jocotan fault breccia,
and extend the mineralization down dip. The drilling to date has defined a very high grade and robust vein system
at the Peña vein system, extending 200 metres along strike and 200 metres down dip, but open in all directions.
Two holes in the deeper portion of the explored vein have returned exceptionally high grade mineralization with
HDD-21-027 intersecting 4.57 metres (or approximately 4.1 metres true width) returning over 54 g/t gold and over
3.9 kg/t silver. At the same depth in the system hole HDD-21-23, located 150m to the south, intersected 4.58 metres
at 79.84 g/t Au and 5,053 g/t Ag.
Future drilling will be focusing on extending this high-grade system at depth and along strike to the south with a
goal of establishing a meaningful high-grade resource and improving confidence in the trend of the vein structure.
Several other veins in the area with similar orientation warrant testing.
El Pino and Alpha Structures
Drill holes HDD21-005 to HDD21-013 tested the El Pino vein system. Narrow intercepts of medium and anomalous
grade gold/silver were intersected. These holes tested historic surface anomalies. Drilling at El Pino cut the vein
zone significantly higher than intercepts at La Peña and that may account for the narrow results. At the Alpha zone,
the system was not targeted within the 200 metre wide Jocotan fault breccia, which drilling at La Peña indicates
may be a key control on the mineralizing system.
Current Status
Field crews have continued detailed mapping and sampling at Holly project. This work has identified new drill
targets on splay structures of the Jocotan fault where two large zones of mineralized breccia have been mapped and
are coincident with high grade soil and rock chip results. Volcanic plans systematic drill testing of these new targets
including the Jocotan splay faults and to continue testing the extensions, both strike and dip, of La Peña vein system.
Assays are still pending on some additional sample for drill hole HDD-21-026 and the samples from the detailed
rock chip sampling of the Jocotan splay targets.
On February 24, 2022, the Company reported that a violent attack had occurred at the Holly project, significantly
damaging the drill rig and equipment. No one was injured. In the latter part of 2021 and the first months of this
year, a small group of individuals from the area have been aggressively spreading misinformation about our
activities and the effects they say mining can have in the region. The main communities covering the Holly project
area have expressed their support of the project and Volcanic has access agreements with community development
councils and private landowners.
Despite significant effort, the anti-mining group has been unable to gain wide community support or legally halt
the project. During the last 6 months approximately 70% of local residents (approximately 1,000 people) have
attended Company informative tours of the project site and core shed, keeping people educated about mining and
informed of Volcanic’s activities which employ many people, gaining general support for the project.
Unfortunately, a small group has resorted to violent means to further their cause.
The Radius / Volcanic team has also been making good progress working with Central and Local governments.
The Presidential Commission for Peace and Human Rights has held the first of a number of planned coordination
meetings with institutions and authorities at the national, departmental, and municipal levels regarding the February
incident at Holly and to address concerns of the small minority. From these meetings it is clear that the Central
- 18 -
government and Departmental government of Chiquimula support the Holly project and will work with Volcanic
to regain the social license. Volcanic looks forward to a resolution of the issues and a resumption of work at the
project and corresponding news flow.
The gold and silver discovery made at Holly is significant. It is a high-grade vein deposit that could be mined from
underground, causing very little surface disruption. It will not require a processing plant as in the near future there
will likely be two mills in operation within trucking distance. Volcanic is in the process of concluding an inferred
resource calculation and from that we will generate an approximate value of the deposit that has been discovered to
date. Further, the deposit is open in all directions. We will continue to move forward at a pace that will protect the
investment we have made and the value we have created.
Elsewhere in Guatemala, Volcanic is actively reviewing the land position it optioned from the Company in June
2020. Several of the areas have been reviewed, some have been rejected and the concession applications cancelled.
To date, three have shown significant promise and the process of having these concessions granted is underway.
There are many more areas to review and the work is ongoing.
Banderas Property
In March 2021, results were announced from Volcanic’s continuing exploration program at the Banderas Property.
Highlights of the results are:
• Pyramid Hill vein systems extended for over 1,800 metres along strike. Mapping and sampling defined a
NW/SE broad zone of stockwork and brecciation hosting multiple quartz veins of up to 3 metres width with
both shallow and vertical dips. Rock chip and sub crop sampling returned grades up to 6.2 g/t Au and 273
g/t Ag.
• Zapote mineralization identified 1,500 metres along strike to the southeast beyond extensive cover,
returning up to 2.7 g/t Au and 14.7 g/t Ag from surface vein outcrop sampling. Zapote zone now mapped
along a 3,100 metre strike length.
The Banderas Property is located 7 kilometres south of the Holly Property. Previous work on the Banderas property
has identified two extensive gold/silver bearing vein systems, the Pyramid Hill and the Zapote Zones.
The Pyramid Hill zone consists of two northwest trending sub-parallel vein zones located approximately 500 metres
apart, called the Pyramid Hill (“PH”) and the “M28” zones. Each zone hosts several 1- to 5-metre-wide quartz
veins. At the PH zone, the veins dip steeply to the northeast and are surrounded by a prominent alteration zone with
an approximate 20 metre wide zone of stockwork veining and brecciation, and at M28, the veins dip shallowly to
the west.
Mapping by Volcanic has extended both vein systems by 1.5 kilometres to the southeast, extending them both to
nearly 3.5 kilometres in length. Historically, over 40 shallow drill-holes have explored the PH and M28 systems
and returned broad zones of low-grade gold/silver mineralization in both mineralized corridors including:
- 19 -
The Zapote Zone is located 1,500 metres to the west of the Pyramid Hill. Numerous quartz veins and extensive
alteration occurs at the contact between a large Dacitic dome and the andesite and rhyolite country rock. Historic
rock chip sampling over an area 150 metres wide along 800 metres of this contact has returned strongly anomalous
gold/silver mineralization. To the southeast, the mineralization disappears under an extensive area of thick
colluvium. No drilling has been conducted at Zapote target.
Recent sampling has identified the continuation of the Zapote system 850 metres along strike to the southeast, where
recent sampling returned values up to 2.7 g/t Au and 14.7 g/t Ag.
The planned drill program at Banderas has been suspended while Volcanic works on access agreements with an
adjoining community. Volcanic has access agreements in place with the community covering the drill project at
Banderas, but further consultation and work is required with the adjoining community to ensure the benefits of the
project are spread out and all affected communities in the area consent.
USA – Nevada – Bald Peak Property
The Company acquired in 2017 a 100% interest in an epithermal gold prospect located in the Aurora gold camp,
Nevada known as the Bald Peak gold property from Ely Gold & Minerals Inc. (“Ely Gold”) (TSX-V: ELY) and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Nevada Select Royalty Inc. Subsequently, the Company increased its land position by
staking an additional 113 unpatented mining claims which are contiguous to the claims acquired from Ely Gold.
While the Company’s exploration work has defined prospective zones in the California portion of the property
which warrant further exploration, management has determined that continuing the onerous permitting requirements

Royalty Interests
Guatemala – Tambor Project Royalty
- 20 -
The Company holds a royalty interest in the Tambor gold project in Guatemala which is owned by Kappes, Cassiday
& Associates (“KCA”) The initial royalty payments due to the Company are to be based on the price of gold at the
time and the number of ounces of gold produced, ranging from US$100 per ounce when the gold price is below
$1,200 up to $250 per ounce when the gold price is $1,500 or greater, up to a maximum of US$10.0 million. After
the US$10.0 million has been paid and cumulative gold production from the Tambor Project has exceeded 100,000
ounces, the cash payments will be based on the then price of gold and the number of ounces of gold produced,
ranging from US$25 per ounce when the gold price is below $1,500 up to $50 per ounce when gold price is $1,500
or greater.
Commercial production commenced at the Tambor project in December 2014 and receipt of royalty payments by
the Company commenced during the third quarter of 2015. To date, the Company has recognized net royalty income
of $1,530,555 of which $746,375 has been received. In May 2016, KCA informed the Company that mining
operations were suspended by the Supreme Court of Guatemala due to a lack of consultation by the Guatemalan
Ministry of Mines with local indigenous people when the mine was permitted in 2011.
The Supreme Court has not yet made a decision on when the mine may re-open, and as a result, KCA initiated a
Central America Free Trade Agreement Arbitration action against the Guatemalan government to overturn the
suspension of operations and seek compensation from the Guatemalan authorities, from which the Company would
benefit as well. KCA is currently in the valuation stage of the Arbitration and the determinative hearing is scheduled
for December 2021. Until these proceedings are concluded, the Company is allowing KCA to defer payment of the
remaining balance owing to the Company. Due to these circumstances, for accounting purposes, a provision was
recorded against the KCA receivable in the 2016 fiscal year.
Mexico - Tlacolula Property Royalty
In 2017, the Company completed the sale of its Tlacolula silver property, Mexico to Fortuna in consideration for
239,385 common shares of Fortuna, a cash payment of US$150,000, and a 2% NSR royalty on the property. Fortuna
retains the right to purchase one-half of the royalty by paying the Company US$1.5 million.
Outlook
Management of the Company is enthusiastic about the current exploration programs at multiple targets. The
Company plans to continue its strategy of conducting property evaluations and grassroots exploration on properties
in various jurisdictions with a focus on gold and silver in Mexico.

Investment and other income was significantly higher for the 2019 fiscal year due to a one-time dividend distribution
of $34,500 the Company received from an equity investment. The net loss for the 2019 fiscal year was significantly
higher than the net losses for the 2021 and 2020 fiscal years due to a $1,259,505 write-off of a formerly held royalty
interest. Total assets have trended lower for each year as a result of the Company liquidating a portion of its equity
investments over the course of the past three fiscal years to help fund operations. Long-term liabilities presented
for all three fiscal years are related to the adoption of an accounting standard on January 1, 2019 whereby the
Company began recording a lease liability associated with a right-to-use asset.

The quarter ended June 30, 2021 resulted in a net income position and the net loss for the quarter ended June 30,
2020 is less than all other quarters presented due to gains of $488,705 and $206,398, respectively, from the Amalia
Project option agreement with Pan American. The results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 also included
a gain of $100,000 from the Holly and Banderas properties option agreement with Volcanic.
Results of Operations
Quarter ended December 31, 2021
The quarter ended December 31, 2021 had a net loss of $476,632 compared to a net loss of $300,131 for the quarter
ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $176,501.
Exploration expenditures for the current quarter totaled $165,417 compared to $157,573 for the comparative
quarter, an increase of $7,844.
- 22 -
General and administrative expenses for the current quarter were $296,632, compared to $126,196 for the
comparative quarter, an increase of $170,436. This increase is primarily due to a share-based compensation expense
of $151,310 in the current quarter compared to $12,244 for the comparative quarter, an increase of $139,066. Stock-
based compensation expense for the current quarter relates to the fair value of stock options granted during the
quarter to various employees in addition to the value of shares to be issued as part of a compensation package for
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company whereas the comparative quarter expense relates entirely to the granting
of stock options. Other notable cost increases for the current quarter were in shareholder communications, office
and administration, salaries and benefits, and management fees. Shareholder communication costs were higher due
to more promotional and tradeshow activity. Costs for salaries and benefits and office and administration costs were
higher due to an increase in the Company’s portion of shared administrative and personnel costs. Management fees
were higher due to the addition of Bruce Smith as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer at the
beginning of the current fiscal year. A portion of Mr. Smith’s compensation is allocated to general and
administrative expenses and a portion to exploration expenditures.
Year ended December 31, 2021
The year ended December 31, 2021 had a net loss of $892,648 compared to $893,037 for the year ended December
31, 2020, a decrease of $389. The current year resulted in a lower net loss due in part to the current year recording
a gain from mineral property option agreements of $488,705 compared to $306,398 for the comparative year. The
current year also recorded a gain of $62,964 on the sale and disposal of equipment located in Guatemala whereas
there was no such gain in the comparative year. The current year recorded a fair value loss of $3,589 on derivative
investments whereas the comparative year recorded a fair value gain of $2,060, a difference of $5,649. Derivative
investments consist of share purchase warrants that were acquired along with common shares in private placement
investments and the fair value gains and losses on such are charged to profit or loss.
Exploration expenditures for the current year totaled $690,258 compared to $731,021 for the comparative year, a
decrease of $40,763. Exploration expenditures for both current and comparative years were both reduced by Pan
American funding the exploration activity on the Amalia Project. The current year also recorded a mineral property
write-off of $117,816 relating to the Bald Peak property whereas there were no such write-offs for the comparative
year.
General and administrative expenses for the current year were $629,033, compared to $432,821 for the comparative
year, an increase of $196,212. This increase is partly due to the current year recording a share-based compensation
expense of $174,845 compared to $55,694 for the comparative year, an increase of $119,151. As in the quarterly
comparison, the current year had notable cost increases in shareholder communication, management fees, salaries
and benefits, and office and administration costs. These increases are due in part to the same reasons as in the
quarterly comparison in addition to there being more cost-cutting efforts during the comparative year in response
to the COVID-19 pandemic. A notable cost decrease for the current year was in legal and audit fees. While actual
audit fees for the current year are expected to be fairly similar to those for the comparative year, a higher estimate
for such fees was used for a yearend accrual in the comparative year.
Mineral Properties Expenditures
A summary of the Company’s expenditures on its mineral properties during the year ended December 31, 2021 is
as follows:
Mexico – A total of $850,418, excluding cost recoveries, was incurred on exploration, property investigation, and
miscellaneous administrative costs, of which $267,969 was incurred on the Amalia property, $120,019 was incurred
- 23 -
on the Plata Verde property and $117,883 on the Maricela property. A cost recovery of $268,827 relating to funding
from the optionee on the Amalia property resulted in a net recovery of $858 for that property.
United States – A total of $12,099 was incurred on exploration, permitting, property investigation, and
miscellaneous administrative costs.
Guatemala – A total of $62,183 was incurred on miscellaneous exploration and administrative costs.
Other – A total of $34,385 was incurred on property investigation costs in regions other than USA, Mexico, and
Guatemala.
Further details regarding exploration expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are provided
in the schedules at the end of this MD&A.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $1.53 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $2.22 million at
December 31, 2020. As at December 31, 2021, working capital was $2.22 million compared to $3.06 million at
December 31, 2020. Included in working capital is the fair value of the Company’s equity investments which as of
December 31, 2021 was $0.74 million compared to $0.90 million as of December 31, 2020. During the year ended
December 31, 2021, the Company received an option payment of $488,705 (US$400,000) relating to the Amalia
Project option agreement with Pan American.
In addition to its working capital assets, the Company held 3,973,275 common shares in Rackla with a fair value of
$1.61 million as at December 31, 2021; however, the investment is being accounted for as an investment in
associate, using the equity method, since the Company may be able to exercise significant influence on Rackla.
The Company did not earn any royalty revenue from the Tambor Project during the current year as the operations
at Tambor continue to be suspended.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from any sales of its equity investments, option payments received and
royalty income payments received to fund its exploration programs, investment opportunities, and general working
capital requirements. The Company expects its current capital resources to be sufficient to carry out its exploration
and investment plans and operating costs for the next twelve months.
Commitment
The Company has entered into an operating lease agreement for its office premises. The Company shares its office
space with other companies related by common directors and officers on a month to month basis, and the portion
of the rent paid by these companies is netted against the Company’s rental expense. However, as there are no
commitments from these companies, the amounts presented below are the gross commitments of the Company.
The annual commitments under the lease are as follows:
2022
2023
2024

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received a total of $96,255 (2020: $90,708) from those
companies which share office space with the Company.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company is exposed to the following financial risks:
• Market Risk
• Credit Risk
• Liquidity Risk
In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments.
This section describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods
used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
General Objectives, Policies and Processes
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company’s risk management
objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for
designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the
Company’s finance function. The Board of Directors receive periodic reports through which it reviews the
effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting
the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.
a) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk,
and equity price risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies through
its operations in foreign countries. The Company monitors this exposure but has no hedge positions. As at
December 31, 2021, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities
denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar:

- 25 -
Based on the above net exposures at December 31, 2021, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the above currencies
against the Canadian dollar would result in approximately a $39,900 (2020: $13,800) increase or decrease in profit
or loss, respectively.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company’s royalty revenue is derived from a royalty interest that is based on the extraction and sale of gold.
Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of gold discovered. Gold prices have
historically fluctuated widely. Consequently, the economic viability of the Company’s royalty interest cannot be
accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in gold prices. The Company has not engaged
in any hedging activities. The Company is not exposed to commodity price risk as the Company has not earned any
royalties during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The
Company does not have any borrowings. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered
on cash held with chartered Canadian financial institutions. The Company considers this risk to be limited as it
holds no assets or liabilities subject to variable rates of interest.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the uncertainty associated with the valuation of assets arising from changes in equity markets.
The Company’s equity investments consisting of common shares and derivative investments consisting of share
purchase warrants are exposed to significant equity price risk due to the potentially volatile and speculative nature
of the businesses in which the investments are held. The Company’s equity investments are monitored by the Board
with decisions on sale or exercise taken by Management. A 10% decrease in fair value of the shares and warrants
would result in an approximate $74,000 (2020: $90,000) decrease in comprehensive income and shareholders’
equity.
b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents, equity
investments, derivative investments and receivables. The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its
cash and cash equivalents with large financial institutions. The Company does not have cash and cash equivalents
or equity investments that are invested in asset based commercial paper. For advances and other receivables, the
Company estimates, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and provides a provision for losses based on the
estimated realizable value.
c) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it will have sufficient funds
to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by
operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.

Investments in Associate
Rackla
As at December 31, 2021, the Company held 3,973,275 (2020: 3,973,275) common shares of Rackla, representing
11.4% (2020: 15.7%) of Rackla’s outstanding common shares. Although the Company holds less than 20% of the
ownership interest and voting control of Rackla, the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence
through both its shareholding and the number of common directors with Rackla. As such, Rackla meets the
definition of an associate and has been equity accounted for in the consolidated financial statements.
The following table shows the continuity of the Company’s investment in Rackla for the years ended December 31,
2021 and 2020:
Balance, December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021

Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
The Company’s significant accounting policies and future changes in accounting policies are presented in the audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Future Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company has reviewed upcoming policies and amendments and determined that none are expected to have an
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
Global Pandemic
The Company faces risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks of communicable diseases, which could
significantly disrupt its operations and may materially and adversely affect its business and financial conditions.
The Company’s business could be adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 coronavirus which was
declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 and continues to be to the present
time.
The extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Company’s business, including its operations and the market for
its securities, will continue to depend on future developments which cannot be predicted, and include the duration,
severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the outbreak. The continued spread of
COVID-19 globally could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results
of operations including without limitation, employee health, workforce productivity, increased insurance premiums,
limitations on travel, the availability of industry experts and personnel, restrictions to any drill programs and/or the
timing to process drill and other metallurgical testing, and other factors that will depend on future developments
beyond the Company’s control.
The international response to the spread of COVID-19 has led to periods of significant restrictions on travel,
temporary business closures, quarantines, global stock market volatility and a general reduction in consumer
activity. Such public health crises can result in operating and supply chain delays and disruptions, global stock
market and financial market volatility, declining trade and market sentiment, reduced movement of people and
labour shortages, and travel and shipping disruption and shutdowns, including as a result of government regulation
and prevention measures, or a fear of any of the foregoing, all of which could affect commodity prices, interest
rates, credit ratings, credit risk and inflation.
Royalty revenue
The Company cannot predict future revenues from or operating results of mining activity. Management expects any
future royalty revenues from the Tambor Project to fluctuate depending on the level of future production and the
price of gold. The owner of the Tambor Project is not obligated to re-start or continue production from the Tambor
Project and the Company will not be entitled to any compensation if this mining operation does not meet its
forecasted gold production targets or if the mine operations are discontinued on a temporary or permanent basis.
Risks that could negatively affect a mine’s operations include, but are not limited to economics, lack of financial
- 30 -
capital, floods, fire, mechanical malfunctions, social unrest, expropriation, environmental regulations, and legal
and/or political changes. The Tambor Project is currently subject to a suspension of operations imposed by the
Supreme Court of Guatemala.
Competition
The Company faces competition from other capital providers, all of which compete with it for investment
opportunities. These competitors may limit the Company’s opportunities to acquire interests in investments that are
attractive to the Company. The Company may be required to invest otherwise than in accordance with its Investment
Policy and strategy in order to meet its investment objectives. If the Company is required to invest other than in
accordance with its Investment Policy and strategy, its ability to achieve its desired rates of return on its investments
may be adversely affected.
Inability to dispose of illiquid securities
There is a possibility that the Company will be unable to dispose of illiquid securities held in its portfolio and if the
Company is unable to dispose of some or all of its investments at the appropriate time, a positive return on such
investment may not be realized.
Due diligence
The due diligence process undertaken by the Company in connection with investments that it makes or wishes to
make may not reveal all relevant facts in connection with an investment. Before making investments, the Company
will conduct due diligence investigations that it deems reasonable and appropriate based on the facts and
circumstances applicable to each investment. The due diligence investigations that are carried out with respect to
any investment opportunity may not reveal or highlight all relevant facts that may be necessary or helpful in
evaluating such investment opportunity. Moreover, such an investigation will not necessarily result in the
investment being successful.
Mineral property exploration and mining
The business of mineral deposit exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are
explored ultimately become producing mines. At present, none of the Company’s properties has a known
commercial ore deposit. The main operating risks include: securing adequate funding to maintain and advance
exploration properties; ensuring ownership of and access to mineral properties by confirmation that option
agreements, claims and leases are in good standing; and obtaining permits for drilling and other exploration
activities.
If the Company does not satisfactorily complete its contribution requirements to any joint ventures it may be a party
to, the Company’s interest in a joint venture can be diluted to a point where all interest in the joint venture is
forfeited.
Joint venture funding
The Company’s strategy includes seeking partners through joint ventures to fund exploration and project
development. The main risk of this strategy is that funding partners may not be able to raise sufficient capital in
order to satisfy exploration and other expenditure terms in a particular joint venture agreement. As a result,
exploration and development of one or more of the Company’s property interests may be delayed depending on
- 31 -
whether the Company can find another partner or has enough capital resources to fund the exploration and
development on its own.
Commodity price
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk. Declines in the market price of gold, silver, base metals and
other minerals may adversely affect the Company’s ability to raise capital or attract joint venture partners in order
to fund its ongoing operations. Commodity price declines could also reduce the amount the Company would receive
on the disposition of one of its mineral properties to a third party. The Company’s past royalty revenue was derived
from a royalty interest that is based on the extraction and sale of gold. Factors beyond the control of the Company
may affect the marketability of precious and base metals discovered or extracted. Metal prices have historically
fluctuated widely. Consequently, the economic viability of the Company’s property and royalty interests cannot be
accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in metal prices.
Financing and share price fluctuation
The Company had a limited source of operating cash flow in the form of royalty revenue from the Tambor property;
however, that property is currently subject to suspension of operations. There is no assurance that additional funding
from this or other sources will be available to the Company when needed for further exploration and development
of its projects. Further exploration and development of one or more of the Company’s projects may be dependent
upon the Company’s ability to obtain financing through equity or debt financing or other means. Failure to obtain
this financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its projects
which could result in the loss of one or more of its properties.
Securities markets have at times in the past experienced a high degree of price and volume volatility, and the market
price of securities of many companies, particularly those considered to be exploration stage companies such as the
Company, have experienced wide fluctuations in share prices which have not necessarily been related to their
operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects. There can be no assurance that these kinds of share
price fluctuations will not occur in the future, and if they do occur, how severe the impact may be on the Company’s
ability to raise additional funds through equity issues or the value of the Company’s equity and derivative
investments and corresponding effect on the Company’s financial position.
Political, regulatory and currency
Some of the Company’s mineral property interests are located in emerging nations. Properties in emerging nations
may be subject to a higher level of risk compared to developed countries. Operations, the status of mineral property
rights, title to the properties and the recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties in emerging nations
can be affected by changing economic, regulatory and political situations. The Company’s equity financings are
sourced in Canadian dollars but for the most part it incurs its exploration and property maintenance expenditures in
US dollars, Guatemalan quetzals, and Mexican pesos. At this time there are no currency hedges in place. Therefore
a weakening of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar, Guatemalan quetzal, or Mexican peso could have an
adverse impact on the amount of exploration conducted.
Insurance
In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, the Company is subject to a number
of hazards and risks in general, including adverse environmental conditions, operational accidents, labor disputes,
unusual or unexpected geological conditions, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such
as inclement weather conditions, floods, earthquakes, and pandemics. Such occurrences could result in damage to
- 32 -
the Company’s properties or facilities and equipment, personal injury or death, environmental damage to properties
of the Company or others, delays, monetary losses and possible legal liability.
Although the Company may maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers
reasonable, its insurance may not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations. The Company may also
be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums or for other reasons. Should
such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate future profitability and result in increased costs, have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s results and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.
Environmental and social
The activities of the Company are subject to environmental regulations issued and enforced by government
agencies. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement and
involve increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed
projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There
can be no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s
operations. Environmental hazards may exist on properties in which the Company holds interests which are
unknown to the Company at present. Social risks are fairly significant in some of the Company’s areas of operations.
Violence, kidnapping, theft and other criminal activities could disrupt supply chains and discourage qualified
individuals from being involved with the Company's operations.
