MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management and are in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as outlined in Part I of the Chartered Professional Accountants Canada Handbook. Other information contained in this document has also been prepared by management and is consistent with the data contained in the consolidated financial statements. A system of internal control has been developed and is maintained by management to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and financial information is accurate and reliable.
The Board of Directors approves the consolidated financial statements and ensures that management discharges its financial reporting responsibilities. The Board’s review is accomplished principally through the audit committee, which is composed of non-executive directors. The audit committee meets periodically with management and the auditors to review financial reporting and control matters.
The consolidated financial statements have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and their report outlines the scope of their examination and gives their opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Americas Gold and Silver Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Americas Gold and Silver Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has reported working capital deficit and net losses from operations and has stated that these events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
1. Corporate information
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on May 12, 1998 and conducts mining exploration, development and production in the Americas. The address of the Company’s registered office is 145 King Street West, Suite 2870, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 1J8. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “USA” and on the New York Stock Exchange American under the symbol “USAS”.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on March 27, 2025.
2. Basis of presentation and going concern
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) which the Canadian Accounting Standards Board has approved for incorporation into Part I of the Chartered Professional Accountants Canada Handbook. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost method, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has considered all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from year-end. Significant accounting judgments and estimates used by management in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are presented in Note 4.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due for the foreseeable future. The Company had a working capital deficit of $
Continuance as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to achieve profitable operations, obtain adequate equity or debt financing, or, alternatively, dispose of its non-core properties on an advantageous basis, among other things. Since 2020 to 2024, the Company was successful in raising funds through equity offerings, debt arrangements, convertible debentures, and registered shelf prospectuses. On December 19, 2024, the Company completed an acquisition of the remaining 40% non-controlling interests of the Company’s Galena Complex via an agreement dated October 9, 2024 with Mr. Eric Sprott, and closed a bought deal private placement of subscription receipts for gross proceeds of $50 million CAD or $
As a result, several material uncertainties cast substantial doubt upon the going concern assumption, including cash flow positive production at the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex, and ability to raise additional funds as necessary to fund these operations and meet obligations as they come due.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and consolidated statement of financial position classification that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

3. Summary of material accounting policies
The material accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
a. Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries, including special purpose entities). Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Where the Company’s interest in a subsidiary is less than 100%, the Company recognizes non-controlling interests. All intercompany transactions and balances, income and expenses have been eliminated.
The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company elects on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis whether to measure non-controlling interests at its fair value, or at its proportionate share of the recognized amount of identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interests over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
b. Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. Determination of operating segments are based on the reports reviewed by the chief operating decision makers that are used to make strategic decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and performance assessment, and for which discrete financial information is available. Unallocated items not directly attributable to a segment comprise mainly of corporate assets and head office expenses.
c. Presentation currency and functional currency
The Company’s presentation currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), and the functional currency of its U.S. and Mexican subsidiaries is the USD. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated into the presentation currency. Assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate at period end, and income, expenses and cash flow items are translated using the rate that approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions (the average rate for the period). All resulting exchange differences are recorded in the foreign currency translation reserve.
d. Foreign currency translations
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the entities’ functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated at the rate in effect at the statement of financial position date, and non-monetary items at historic exchange rates at each transaction date. Revenue and expense items are translated at average exchange rates of the reporting period. Gains and losses on translation are charged to the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
e. Revenue recognition
The Company applies the following five-step approach in recognizing revenue from contracts with customers:
| · | Identify the enforceable contract with the customer. |
| · | Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract from transferring the distinct good or service. |
| · | Determine the transaction price for consideration of transferring the good or service. |
| · | Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations identified. |
| · | Recognize revenue when each separate performance obligation is satisfied. |
| Page | 10 |
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
The Company recognizes revenue through entering into concentrate sales contracts with customers with the performance obligation of delivering its concentrate production in exchange for consideration valued initially under provisional pricing arrangements. Revenue from sales is recorded at the time of delivery based on forward prices for the expected date of final settlement. The final sale prices are determined by quoted market prices in a period subsequent to the date of sale.
Subsequent variations in metal prices are recognized as embedded derivative pricing adjustments at fair value from contracts with customers.
The Company recognizes deferred revenue from advanced consideration received for fixed and variable precious metals deliveries over a specified period. Deferred revenue is recognized into revenue as performance obligations to metals delivery are satisfied over the term of the delivery contract.
The Company recognizes revenue when control of finished gold and silver, shipped in doré form, has transferred to the customer. The sale price is fixed on the date of sale primarily based on the gold and silver spot price in the London spot market.
f. Defined benefit plans
The cost of defined benefit plans is determined using the projected unit credit method. The related pension liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets.
Actuarial valuations for defined benefit plans are carried out annually. The discount rate applied in arriving at the present value of the pension liability represents the yield on high quality corporate bonds denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability.
Actuarial gains and losses arise from the difference between the actual long-term rate of return on plan assets for a period and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for that period, or from changes in actuarial assumptions used to determine the accrued benefit obligation. Actuarial gains and losses arising in the year are recognized in full in the period in which they occur, in other comprehensive income and retained earnings without recycling to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss in subsequent periods.
Current service cost, the recognized element of any past service cost, interest expense arising on the pension liability and the expected return on plan assets are recognized in the same line items in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as the related compensation cost.
The values attributed to plan liabilities are assessed in accordance with the advice of independent qualified actuaries. Service costs arising from plan amendments are recognized immediately.
g. Share-based payments
The Company’s stock option plan allows its employees (including directors and officers) and non-employees to acquire shares of the Company. Accordingly, the fair value of the option is either charged to operations or capitalized to exploration or development expenditures, depending on the accounting for the optionee’s other compensation, with a corresponding increase in equity reserve.
The costs of equity-settled transactions with employees are measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity reserve, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the “vesting date”). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date up to the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding amount is represented in equity reserve. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest.
| Page | 11 |
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.
h. Income taxes
Income tax comprises of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income (loss) or directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in other comprehensive income (loss) or equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation, and it considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable income. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses to the extent it is probable future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized.
The Company does not recognize any deferred income taxes relating to its investments in subsidiaries. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company has the legal right and intent to offset. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
i. Earnings/loss per share
Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated by dividing the net earnings/loss for the period attributable to equity owners of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings/loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for dilutive instruments. The number of shares included with respect to options, warrants and similar instruments is computed using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method, which assumes that outstanding stock options and warrants with an average exercise price below the market price of the underlying shares, are exercised and the assumed proceeds are used to repurchase common shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive common shares comprise stock options granted to employees, and warrants.
j. Comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in the Company’s net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than the Company’s shareholders and includes items that would not normally be included in net earnings such as foreign currency gains or losses related to the Company’s net investment in foreign operations and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities net of tax. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss), components of other comprehensive income (loss) and cumulative translation adjustments are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
k. Inventories
Concentrates, ore stockpile, and spare parts and supplies are valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. Cost for concentrates and ore stockpile includes all direct costs incurred in production including direct labour and materials, freight, depreciation and amortization and directly attributable overhead costs determined on a weighted average basis for the Mexican operations and first in, first out method for the U.S. operations. Cost for spare parts and supplies are determined using the first in, first out method. Net realizable value is calculated as the estimated price at the time of sale based on prevailing and future metal prices less estimated future production costs to convert inventories into saleable form.
Any write-downs of inventory to net realizable value are recorded as cost of sales. If there is a subsequent increase in the value of inventories, the previous write-downs to net realizable value are reversed to the extent that the related inventory has not been sold.
Ore stockpile represents ore that has been extracted from the mine and is available for further processing. Costs added to ore stockpile are valued based on current mining cost per tonne incurred up to the point of stockpiling the ore and are removed at the average cost per tonne. Ore stockpile is verified by periodic surveys.
Materials and supplies inventory are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, where cost is determined using the first-in-first-out method. Any provision for obsolescence is determined by reference to specific items of stock. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of any provision for obsolescence by comparing those items to their net realizable value. If carrying value exceeds net realizable value, a write-down is recognized.
Finished goods, in-circuit work in progress, and ore on leach pads are valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. Cost for in-circuit work in progress and ore on leach pads includes all direct costs incurred in production including direct labour and materials, freight, depreciation and amortization and directly attributable overhead costs determined on a first in, first out method. Net realizable value is calculated as the estimated price at the time of sale based on prevailing and future metal prices less estimated future production costs to convert inventories into saleable form.
l. Property, plant and equipment
(i) Producing mining interests
Producing mining interests are carried at cost less accumulated depletion and amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Following the completion of commissioning, the costs related to the mining interests are depleted and charged to operations on the unit of production method as a proportion of estimated recoverable mineral reserves.
Completion of the commissioning is deemed to have occurred when major mine and processing plant components are completed, operating results are being achieved consistently for a period of time and that there are indicators that these operational results, including mill capacity and recovery, will be sustainable in the future.
Construction in progress is not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use.
(ii) Non-producing mining interests
The Company follows the method of accounting for its non-producing mining interests whereby all costs relating to the acquisition and development are deferred and capitalized by property until the property to which they directly relate is placed into production, sold, discontinued or subject to a condition of impairment. Exploration expenses not related to placing the property into production are expensed as incurred.
In the event that a mining interest is placed into production, capitalization of costs ceases, the costs are transferred to producing mining interests and the mining interest is depleted on a unit of production basis. The recoverability of amounts is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to finance the development of the properties, and on the future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
| Page | 13 |
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
(iii) Plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate assets (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within that part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
| · | Mining interests – |
| · | Plant and equipment – |
| · | Corporate office equipment – |
Residual values, method of amortization and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.
(iv) Impairment and reversal of impairment
The Company reviews and evaluates the carrying values of its property, plant and equipment to determine whether there is an indication of impairment or reversal of impairment. For exploration and evaluation assets, indication includes but is not limited to expiration of the right to explore, substantive expenditure in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned, and if the entity has decided to discontinue exploration activity in the specific area.
When the carrying value of assets exceeds the recoverable amount, the carrying value of the assets is reduced to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use of the asset. To achieve this, the recoverable amount is the higher of value in use (being the net present value of expected pre-tax future cash flows of the relevant asset) and fair value less costs to dispose the asset.
If, after the Company has previously recognized an impairment loss, circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the impaired assets is greater than the carrying amount, the Company reverses the impairment loss by the amount the revised fair value exceeds its carrying amount, to a maximum of the previous impairment loss. In no case shall the revised carrying amount exceed the original carrying amount, after depreciation or amortization, that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized.
(v) Care and maintenance
The Company may elect to place its mining operations in care and maintenance if continued operation is no longer economically feasible due to change in circumstances. During care and maintenance, depreciable property, plant and equipment continue to be depreciated over their useful lives.
m. Decommissioning provision
The Company recognizes contractual, statutory and legal obligations associated with retirement of mining properties when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. Initially, the decommissioning provision is recognized at its fair value in the period in which it is incurred. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the corresponding decommissioning provision is added to the carrying amount of that asset and the cost is amortized as an expense over the economic life of the related asset. Following the initial recognition of the decommissioning provision, the periodic unwinding of the discount is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss and adjusted for changes to the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows to settle the obligation.
| Page | 14 |
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
n. Financial instruments
The Company classifies and measures its financial instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss as they arise. Unless restrictive criteria regarding the objective and contractual cash flows of the instrument are met then classification and measurement are at either amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
Cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables are classified and measured as financial assets at amortized cost. Embedded derivatives arising from subsequent adjustments in provisional sales revenue are classified and measured as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other payables are classified and measured as financial liabilities at amortized cost. Loans receivable are classified and measured as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans payable are classified as financial liabilities initially at fair value through profit or loss and subsequently carried at amortized cost. Investment in equity instruments are classified and measured as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
o. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset during the period of time required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale and amortized over the expected useful life of the asset. Other borrowing costs not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are expensed in the period incurred.
p. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
q. Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, and related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related party transactions that are in the normal course of business and have commercial substance are measured at the exchange amount.
r. Restricted cash
Restricted cash includes cash that has been pledged for reclamation and closure activities which are not available for immediate disbursement.
4. Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| Page | 15 |
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:
(i) Depletion and amortization
Mining properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method over a period not to exceed the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable reserves.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated, net of residual value over their estimated useful life but do not exceed the related estimated life of the mine based on estimated recoverable mineral reserves.
The calculation of the units of production rate, and therefore the annual depletion and amortization expense, could be materially affected by changes in the underlying estimates. Changes in estimates can be the result of actual future production differing from current forecasts of future production and expansion of mineral reserves through exploration activities.
(ii) Decommissioning provision
The Company assesses its decommissioning provision on an annual basis or when new material information becomes available. Mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. In general, these laws and regulations are continually changing and the Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Accounting for decommissioning provision requires management to make estimates of the time and future costs the Company will incur to complete the rehabilitation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations at each mining operation. Also, future changes to environmental laws and regulations could increase the extent of rehabilitation work required to be performed by the Company. Increases in future costs could materially impact the amounts charged to operations for decommissioning provision. The provision represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future decommissioning provision. The actual future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided.
(iii) Income taxes
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires an estimate of income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The process involves an estimate of the Company’s current tax exposure and an assessment of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depletion and amortization, for tax and accounting purposes, and when they might reverse.
These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities that are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position.
An assessment is also made to determine the likelihood that the Company’s future tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent that recovery is not considered likely, the related tax benefits are not recognized.
Judgment is required to continually assess changing tax interpretations, regulations and legislation, to ensure liabilities are complete and to ensure assets, net of valuation allowances, are realizable. The impact of different interpretations and applications could be material.
(iv) Assessment of impairment and reversal of impairment indicators
The Company applies judgment in assessing whether indicators of impairment or reversal of impairment exist for a cash generating unit which would require impairment testing. Internal and external sources such as changes in use of an asset, capital and production forecasts, commodity prices, quantities of reserves and resources, and changes in market, economic, and legal environment are used by management in determining whether there are any indicators.
The Company determines recoverable amount based on the after-tax discounted cash flows from a cash generating unit’s life-of-mine cash flow projection which incorporates management’s best estimates of commodity prices, future capital requirements and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size, grade and recovery of the ore bodies. Absent a life-of-mine cash flow projection, a market approach of comparable companies is used to determine recoverable amount of in-situ ounces from the cash generating unit.

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
(v) Cash flows from ongoing production and impact on operations
The Company had negative operating cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2024 with a working capital deficit as at December 31, 2024. The ability to achieve cash flow positive production through meeting production targets at the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex, allowing the Company to generate sufficient operating cash flows, while facing market fluctuations in commodity prices and inflationary pressures, and maintaining access to capital markets, are significant judgments in these consolidated financial statements with respect to the Company’s liquidity. Should the Company continue to experience lower commodity prices and negative operating cash flows in future periods, the Company will need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities which funding cannot be assured.
5. Changes in accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements
The Company adopted Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements as of January 1, 2024 and assessed there was no material impact on Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1).
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. The following standards have been issued by the IASB:
| - | Amendments to IFRS 9 and 7 – Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments with mandatory application of the standard in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. |
| - | IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements with mandatory application of the standard in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. |
These standards are being assessed for their impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.

The Company initially recorded the advances received on precious metals delivery, net of transaction costs, as deferred revenue and expected to recognize the amounts in revenue as performance obligations to metals delivery were satisfied over the term of the metals delivery and purchase agreements.
As at December 31, 2021, the Company derecognized the outstanding carrying value of deferred revenue, net of transaction costs, and recognized the fixed and variable deliveries of precious metals as a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss as the Company expected that metal deliveries to Sandstorm may no longer be satisfied through internal gold production alone. The fair value of the metals contract liability was determined using forward commodity pricing curves at the end of the fiscal 2021 reporting period resulting in $

18. Decommissioning provision
The decommissioning provision consists of land rehabilitation, demolition of buildings and mine facilities, and related costs. Although the ultimate amount of the decommissioning provision is uncertain, the fair value of these obligations is based on information currently available, including closure plans and the Company’s interpretation of current regulatory requirements.
Fair value is determined based on the net present value of future cash expenditures upon reclamation and closure. Reclamation and closure costs are capitalized into property, plant and equipment depending on the nature of the asset related to the obligation and amortized over the life of the related asset.
The decommissioning provision relates to reclamation and closure costs of the Company’s Cosalá Operations, Galena Complex, and Relief Canyon Mine. The decommissioning provision is estimated at an undiscounted amount of $

27. Financial risk management
a. Financial risk factors
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on its financial instruments are summarized below:
(i) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the Company invests its cash in deposits with well-capitalized financial institutions with strong credit ratings in Canada and the United States. Under current concentrate offtake agreements, risk on trade receivables related to concentrate sales is managed by receiving payments for
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s exposure to credit risk with respect to trade receivables amounts to $
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company’s liquidity requirements are met through a variety of sources, including cash, cash generated from operations, credit facilities and debt and equity capital markets. The Company’s trade payables have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.
The following table presents the contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities and provisions on an undiscounted basis:

(iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk.
(1) Interest rate risk
The Company is subject to interest rate risk of the 3 month U.S. LIBOR rate plus
(2) Currency risk
As at December 31, 2024, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through financial assets and liabilities denominated in CAD and MXN:

The Company may, from time to time, employ derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
As at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company does not have any non-hedge foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding. During the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company did not settle any non-hedge foreign exchange forward contracts.
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments in the market. As at December 31, 2024, the Company had certain amounts related to the sales of concentrates that have only been provisionally priced. A ±10% fluctuation in silver, zinc, lead, and gold prices would affect trade receivables by approximately $
As at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any non-hedge commodity forward contracts outstanding. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not settle any non-hedge commodity forward contracts.
Net amount of gain or loss on derivative instruments from non-hedge foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts recognized through profit or loss during the year ended December 31, 2024 was nil (2023: nil). Total amount of gain or loss on derivative instruments including those recognized through profit or loss from the Company’s convertible debenture during the year ended December 31, 2024 was a loss of $
b. Fair values
The fair value of cash, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, and other financial assets and liabilities listed below approximate their carrying amounts mainly due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are as follows:
| · | Cash and cash equivalents: The fair value of cash equivalents is valued using quoted market prices in active markets. |
| · | Trade and other receivables: The fair value of trade receivables from silver sales contracts that contain provisional pricing terms is determined using the appropriate quoted forward price from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular metal. As such, there is an embedded derivative feature within trade receivables. |
| · | Metals contract liabilities: Fixed and variable deliveries of precious metals are classified and measured as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss determined using forward commodity pricing curves at end of the reporting period. |
| · | Pre-payment and credit facilities, convertible debenture, and promissory notes: The principal portion of pre-payment and credit facilities, convertible debenture, and promissory notes are initially measured at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost. |
| Page | 34 |
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
| · | Royalty payable: The financial liability is measured at fair value through profit or loss determined using discounted cash flows of expected future royalty payments at end of the reporting period. |
| · | Embedded derivatives: Revenues from the sale of metals produced from silver sales contracts since the commencement of commercial production are based on provisional prices at the time of shipment. Variations between the price recorded at the time of sale and the actual final price received from the customer are caused by changes in market prices for metals sold and result in an embedded derivative in revenues and accounts receivable. |
| · | Derivatives: The Company uses derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage financial risks, including commodity, interest rate, and foreign exchange risks. The use of derivative contracts is governed by documented risk management policies and approved limits. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and at market prices at the valuation date. |
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value:
| · | Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. |
| · | Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |

29. Capital management
Capital is defined as equity. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maximize the value for its shareholders.
The Company’s activities have been funded so far through debt and equity financing based on cash needs, and through operations. The Company typically sells its shares by way of private placement. There were no changes in these objectives, policies and processes used to manage capital during the year.
The Company manages its capital structure and determines its capital requirements in light of the changing economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its assets. To reach its objectives the Company may have to maintain or adjust its capital structure by issuing new share capital or new debt.
At this stage of its development, it is the policy of the Company to preserve cash to fund its operations and complete its capital projects and not to pay dividends. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The following summarizes the Company’s capital structure:
