| 6. | EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS |
| (a) | In 2018, the Company entered into an option agreement with a private group, whereby the Company has the right to earn 100% ownership interest in a company which owns the Deer Trail Project in Utah. The Company paid $150 upon signing the agreement, $150 in each of 2020 and 2021, and $200 in each of 2022 and 2023. To earn 100% interest in the property, the Company must make remaining cash payments totaling $1,150 over the next 5 years and fund a cumulative of $30,000 of eligible exploration expenditures by 2028 (as of March 31, 2024, the Company has incurred $28,941 of eligible exploration expenditures on the property). As at March 31, 2024, the Company has also bonded and recorded a $484 reclamation liability for the project. Other than the reclamation liability, the balance of cash payments and exploration commitments are optional at the Company’s discretion. Upon the Company’s 100% earn-in, the vendors will retain a 2% net smelter returns (“NSR”) royalty. |
| (b) | In 2022, through the acquisition of Gatling Exploration Inc. (“Gatling”) the Company acquired 100% of the Larder Project in Ontario. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred a total of $3,263 in exploration and evaluation expenditures, as well as acquisition cost of $3,752 relating to the purchase of 100% ownership of the Goldstake property (“Goldstake”), contiguous to Gatling’s current land holdings. |

| (c) | Restricted and performance share units |
On June 26, 2023, the Shareholders re-approved a share unit plan (the “Share Unit Plan”) for the benefit of the Company’s officers, employees and consultants. The Share Unit Plan provides for the issuance of common shares from treasury, in the form of restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”). The maximum number of common shares that may be issuable under the Share Unit Plan is set at 1.5% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis, provided that the number of common shares issued or issuable under the combined Share Unit Plan and Stock Option Plan (Note 7(b)) shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis. RSUs and PSUs granted under the Share Unit Plan have a term of 5 years unless otherwise specified by the Board, and each unit entitles the participant to receive one common share of the Company subject to vesting criteria, and in the case of PSUs, performance criteria which may also impact the number of PSUs to vest between 0-200%. PSUs for which the performance targets are not achieved during the performance period are automatically forfeited and cancelled.

Directors may also elect to receive all or a portion of their annual retainer in the form of DSUs. DSUs may be settled in cash or in common shares issued from treasury, as determined by the Board at the time of the grant. The maximum number of common shares that may be issuable under the DSU Plan is set at 1.0% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis.

| 8. | FLOW-THROUGH PREMIUM LIABILITY |
As at March 31, 2024, the Company has a flow-through share premium liability of $1,432 (December 31, 2023: $1,969) in relation to the flow-through share financing completed on February 16, 2023 (see Note 7(a) for full details of the financing). Flow-through shares are issued at a premium, and in the Company’s case, considering the separate offerings for flow-through shares and standard public offering for common shares both made on January 25, 2023, this premium has been calculated as the difference between the pricing of a flow-through share and that of a common share from the public offering made on the same date. Tax deductions generated by the eligible expenditures are passed through to the shareholders of the flow-through shares once the eligible expenditures are incurred and renounced. Below is a summary of the flow-through financing and the related flow-through share premium liability generated.

In October 2023 the Company entered into a $40,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with the Bank of Montreal (the “Credit Facility”). There is a provision for an accordion feature whereby, upon request, the facility may be increased to $75,000 any time prior to the maturity date, at the discretion of the lender. The Credit Facility will bear interest on a sliding scale of SOFR or the Lender’s Base Rate on US Dollar commercial loans plus an applicable margin on a sliding scale of between 200 and 400 basis points based on the Company’s leverage ratio. Interest incurred on drawn amounts is to be paid quarterly. Commitment fees on the undrawn portion of the facility are calculated on a similar sliding scale of between 50 and 75 basis points, and are also to be paid on a quarterly basis. The term of the facility is 34 months, maturing on August 4, 2026, at which date any drawn amount is required to be paid back in full. All debts, liabilities and obligations under the facility are guaranteed by the Company's material subsidiaries and secured by assets of the Company including the pledge of a material subsidiary. The facility includes a number of customary covenants (liquidity, leverage, tangible net worth) and conditions including limitations on acquisitions and investments (excluding exploration and capital expenditures) funded using cash with no limitations when equity is used as a funding source.

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise stated - Unaudited)
As at March 31, 2024, the Company does not have any long-term debt outstanding, is in compliance with all applicable Credit Facility covenants, and is not subject to any other externally imposed capital requirements.
| 11. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
The Company’s operations consist of the acquisition, exploration and advancement of mineral projects in the Americas. The Company examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of occurrence. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.
The Company conducts the majority of its business through its equity interest in its associates, Juanicipio (Note 5). Juanicipio is exposed to commodity price risk, specifically to the prices of silver, gold, and to a lesser extent, lead and zinc. Currently, Juanicipio produces and sells concentrates containing these metals which are each subject to market price fluctuations which will affect its profitability and its ability to generate cash flow. Juanicipio does not hedge any of the commodities produced and does not have any such positions outstanding at March 31, 2024.
Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on its obligations under the contract. This includes any cash amounts owed to the Company by those counterparties, less any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Company where a legal right of set-off exists and also includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are recorded in the financial statements.
Juanicipio, in which the Company has a 44% interest, has revenue from its operations as described in Note 5. Juanicipio sells and receives payment for its concentrates at market terms, under an offtake agreement with Met-Mex Peñoles, S.A. de C.V. (“Met-Mex”), a related party to Fresnillo. The Company believes Juanicipio is not exposed to significant trade credit risk.
In order to manage credit and liquidity risk, the Company’s practice is to invest only in highly rated investment grade instruments backed by Canadian commercial banks, and in the case of its Mexican and US operations, the Company maintains minimal cash in its US and Mexican subsidiaries.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of its cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable from Juanicipio which is classified as an Investment in Juanicipio in the consolidated statements of financial position, as follows:
| | | March 31, | | | | December 31, | |
| | | 2024 | | | | 2023 | |
| | | $ | | | | $ | |
Cash | | | 74,683 | | | | 68,707 | |
Accounts receivable (Note 4) | | | 1,032 | | | | 1559 | |
Juanicipio loans (Notes 5 & 14) | | | 79,438 | | | | 94,414 | |
| | | 155,153 | | | | 164,680 | |
The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements, its exploration and mineral projects advancement plans, and its various optional property and other commitments (Notes 5, 6, 8 and 14). The annual budget is approved by the Board of Directors. The Company ensures that there are sufficient cash balances to meet its short-term business requirements.
To increase its flexibility with regards to access to capital, in October 2023 the Company entered into a $40,000 Credit Facility (see Note 9 for full details of the debt facility).
The Company estimates it has the ability to fund the next 12 months of corporate and exploration expenses with its liquidity position, and the Company 's overall liquidity risk has not changed significantly from December 31, 2023. Future liquidity may therefore depend upon the Company’s ability to repatriate capital from Juanicipio, arrange additional debt or additional equity financing.
The Company is exposed to the financial risks related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates, both in the Mexican peso and C$, relative to the US$. The Company does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Exposure to currency risk
As at March 31, 2024, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable entity:
| | | Mexican peso | | | | Canadian dollar | |
(in US$ equivalent) | | | $ | | | | $ | |
Cash | | | 5 | | | | 5,005 | |
Accounts receivable | | | 215 | | | | 728 | |
Prepaid expenses | | | 14 | | | | 1,963 | |
Investments | | | - | | | | 6 | |
Accounts payable | | | (246 | ) | | | (3,367 | ) |
Lease obligations | | | - | | | | (115 | ) |
Net (liabilities) assets exposure | | | (11 | ) | | | 4,221 | |
Mexican peso relative to the US$
Although the majority of operating expenses in Mexico are both determined and denominated in US$, an appreciation in the Mexican peso relative to the US$ will increase the Company’s cost of operations in Mexico (reported in US$) related to those operating costs denominated and determined in Mexican pesos. Alternatively, a depreciation in the Mexican peso relative to the US$ will decrease the Company’s cost of operations in Mexico (reported in US$) related to those operating costs denominated and determined in Mexican pesos.
An appreciation/depreciation in the Mexican peso against the US$ will also result in a gain/loss before tax and deferred tax to the extent that the Company holds net monetary assets (liabilities) in pesos. Specifically, the Company's foreign currency exposure is comprised of peso denominated cash, prepaids and value added taxes receivable, net of trade and other payables. The carrying amount of the Company’s peso denominated net monetary liabilities at March 31, 2024 is 190 thousand pesos (March 31, 2023: 737 thousands pesos net monetary assets). A 10% appreciation or depreciation in the peso against the US$ would have an immaterial effect on the Company’s income (loss) before tax.
Mexican peso relative to the US$ - Investment in Juanicipio
The Company conducts the majority of its business through its equity interest in its associates (Note 5). The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method and recognizes the Company's 44% share of earnings and losses of Juanicipio. Juanicipio also has a US$ functional currency and is exposed to the same currency risks noted above for the Company.

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise stated - Unaudited)
An appreciation/depreciation in the Mexican peso against the US$ will also result in a gain/loss after tax and deferred taxes (Note 5) in Juanicipio to the extent that it holds net monetary assets (liabilities) in pesos, comprised of peso denominated cash, value added taxes receivable, net of trade and other payables. The carrying amount of Juanicipio’s net peso denominated monetary liabilities at March 31, 2024 is 153 million pesos (March 31, 2023: 69.1 million). A 10% appreciation in the peso against the US$ would result in a loss before tax at March 31, 2024 of $1,021 (March 31, 2023: $424) in Juanicipio, of which the Company would record its 44% share being $449 loss from equity investment in Juanicipio (March 31, 2023: $187 loss), while a 10% depreciation in the peso relative to the US$ would result in an equivalent gain.
C$ relative to the US$
The Company is exposed to gains and losses from fluctuations in the C$ relative to the US$.
As general and administrative overheads in Canada are predominantly denominated in C$, an appreciation in the C$ relative to the US$ will increase the Company’s overhead costs as reported in US$. Alternatively, a depreciation in the C$ relative to the US$ will decrease the Company’s overhead costs as reported in US$.
An appreciation/depreciation in the C$ against the US$ will result in a gain/loss to the extent that MAG, the parent entity, and the Larder Project holds net monetary assets (liabilities) in C$. The carrying amount of the Company’s net Canadian denominated monetary assets at March 31, 2024 is C$5.7 million (March 31, 2023: C$17.1 million net monetary assets). A 10% appreciation or depreciation in the C$ against the US$ would have a $572 effect on the Company’s income (loss) before tax.
The Company’s interest income earned on cash is exposed to interest rate risk. A decrease in interest rates would result in lower relative interest income and an increase in interest rates would result in higher relative interest income.
The Company’s Credit Facility is based on variable interest rate, where it will bear interest on a sliding scale of SOFR or the Lender’s Base Rate on US Dollar commercial loans plus an applicable margin on a sliding scale of between 200 and 400 basis points based on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not drawn down any funds from its Credit Facility.

| 12. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES |
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, investments, and trade and other payables. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, and trade and other payables reported in the consolidated statement of financial position approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as described below:
Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2: | Observable inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1 such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. |
The Company’s financial assets or liabilities as measured in accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above are:
As at March 31, 2024 | | | Level 1 | | | | Level 2 | | | | Level 3 | | | | Total | |

There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or during the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company operates in one operating segment, being the exploration and advancement of mineral projects in North America. The Company’s principal asset, its 44% ownership in the Juanicipio Mine, is located in Mexico, and the Company also has other exploration properties in North America.
