Golden Minerals (NYSE: AUMN) narrows Q1 loss but warns on going concern

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Golden Minerals Company reported a net loss of $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, an improvement from a $1.2 million loss a year earlier. Operating costs totaled $0.6 million, including $0.5 million of administrative expense and $0.06 million of exploration expense.

Income from discontinued operations was $14,000, compared with a $0.4 million loss in the prior-year period. Cash and cash equivalents were $0.9 million at quarter-end, with current liabilities of $0.9 million, leaving total assets of $1.3 million and shareholders’ equity of $0.3 million.

Subsequent to quarter-end, the company sold Minera William, S.A. de C.V. for $1.2 million and agreed to a private placement of 3,740,000 shares at $0.2290 per share for expected gross proceeds of about $0.86 million. Management expects these proceeds to fund operations into early 2027, but the lack of revenue-generating operations means additional financing will be needed thereafter, and substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern remains.

Positive

• Net loss improved to $0.6 million from $1.2 million year over year, driven largely by lower administrative expenses.
• Post-quarter transactions are expected to add approximately $2.1 million of cash proceeds, which management believes will fund operations into early 2027.
• Discontinued operations shifted from a $0.4 million loss to $14,000 of income, reflecting wind-down of legacy assets.

Negative

• The company discloses substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to limited cash and no revenue-generating operations.
• Quarter-end cash and cash equivalents of about $0.9 million were roughly equal to current liabilities, leaving minimal liquidity cushion before subsequent financings.
• The company accrued $250,000 for Argentina labor claims and remains exposed to additional legal and contingent liabilities related to former operations.

Insights

Mining sector equity analyst

Golden Minerals narrows losses but remains highly dependent on external funding.

Golden Minerals reduced its net loss to $0.6 million from $1.2 million, mainly through lower administrative costs. Exploration spending was modest at $0.06 million, consistent with a cash-preservation strategy while the company remains an exploration-stage issuer with no operating mines.

Liquidity is tight: quarter-end cash was $0.9 million versus current liabilities of $0.9 million. Subsequent asset sale and equity financing together add roughly $2.1 million, which management believes can fund operations into early 2027. However, there is still a going concern warning because no revenue-generating operations support the cost base.

The company has substantially exited Mexico, faces accrued Argentina labor claims of $0.25 million, and is focusing on early-stage projects in Argentina and Nevada. Future disclosures on completing the private placement, joint venture agreements, and any additional financing or asset monetizations will be important for understanding its runway and strategic flexibility.

Key Terms

exploration stage issuer, going concern, discontinued operations, restricted stock units, +2 more

6 terms

exploration stage issuer financial

"The Company is considered an exploration stage issuer under the criteria set forth by the SEC under Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K"

going concern financial

"These conditions continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements"

Going concern is the accounting assumption that a company will keep operating and meeting its obligations for the foreseeable future. The phrase matters most when a company or its auditors disclose substantial doubt about it, a formal warning that the business may not have enough resources to continue without raising money, restructuring, or selling assets. That language in a filing or press release signals elevated financial risk.

discontinued operations financial

"Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes was income of $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026"

Discontinued operations are parts of a company that it has decided to sell or shut down, and no longer plans to run in the future. This matters to investors because it helps them understand which parts of the business are ongoing and which are being phased out, providing a clearer picture of the company’s current performance and future prospects. Think of it like a store closing a department—it no longer contributes to sales or profits.

restricted stock units financial

"On February 26, 2026, the Company granted 200,000 RSUs to the Company’s CFO under the equity incentive plan"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

fair value hierarchy financial

"Financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis under a framework of a fair value hierarchy"

capital contribution account (CUCA) financial

"The assets of Minera William include net operating losses, a Capital Contribution Account (CUCA), the Par de Tres 2 mining concession, and the San Diego royalty"

FAQ

How did Golden Minerals (AUMN) perform financially in Q1 2026?

What is Golden Minerals’ cash position and liquidity as of March 31, 2026?

As of March 31, 2026, Golden Minerals held about $0.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and total current assets of roughly $1.0 million. Current liabilities were also around $0.9 million, leaving a limited liquidity buffer before considering subsequent asset sales and financings.

Golden Minerals Company (the “Company” “we” “our” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, has prepared these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements, but in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to current classifications. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year; accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report”).

The Company is considered an exploration stage issuer under the criteria set forth by the SEC under Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”) as the Company has not yet demonstrated the existence of mineral reserves at any of the Company’s properties. As a result, and in accordance with GAAP for exploration stage companies, all expenditures for exploration and evaluation of the Company’s properties are expensed as incurred. As such, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of mining companies that have proven and probable mineral reserves. Such companies would typically capitalize certain development costs including infrastructure development and mining activities to access the ore. The capitalized costs would be amortized on a units-of-production basis as reserves are mined. The amortized costs are typically allocated to inventory and eventually to cost of sales as the inventories are sold. The Company cannot be certain that any deposits at any of its properties will ever be confirmed or converted into S-K 1300 compliant “reserves.”

Operating Segments and Related Disclosures

We manage our company as one reportable operating segment, exploration activities. The segment information aligns with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews and manages our business. The Company’s CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Financial information and annual exploration plans and forecasts are prepared and reviewed by the CODM at a consolidated level. The CODM assesses performance for the exploration activities segment and decides how to better allocate resources based on consolidated net income or loss that is reported on the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s objective in making resource allocation decisions is to optimize the consolidated financial results. The accounting policies of our exploration activities segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Refer to Note 3 to the financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report for a description of our Significant Accounting Policies.

2. Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As at March 31, 2026, we did not have sufficient resources to meet our expected cash needs for a period of twelve months beyond the filing date of this 2026 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. At March 31, 2026, we had current assets of approximately $1.0 million, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.9 million. On the same date, we had accounts payable and other current liabilities of approximately $0.9 million.

The Company’s only near-term opportunity to generate cash flow to meet its expected cash requirements is from the sale of assets, equity or other external financing. The Company is evaluating and pursuing alternatives, including the potential sale of the Company, seeking buyers or partners for the Company’s other assets or obtaining equity or other external financing. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company completed the sale of all issued and outstanding shares of Minera William, S.A. de C.V. to Streamline Metals Capital Ltd. (the “Investor”) for total consideration of $1.2 million. Concurrently, the Company entered into a private placement agreement with the Investor to issue 3,740,000 shares of common stock at $0.2290 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $856,000, subject to Toronto Stock Exchange approval and expected to close on or around May 20, 2026 (see Note 13). The proceeds from these transactions have not been reflected in these financial statements.

5

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which an entity is considered to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as noted above, our continuing long-term operations will be dependent upon our ability to secure sufficient funding to generate future profitable operations. The underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown as property, plant and equipment in our consolidated financial statements are dependent on our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and to fund general administrative, and exploration activities that would lead to additional profitable mining and processing activities or to generate proceeds from the disposition of property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company completed the sale of Minera William, S.A. de C.V. for $1.2 million and entered into a private placement expected to generate approximately $856,000 in gross proceeds upon closing, for combined proceeds of approximately $2.1 million (see Note 13). Based on current forecasts and taking into account these proceeds, the Company expects its cash resources to fund operations into early 2027. Notwithstanding the improved near-term liquidity resulting from these transactions, the Company has no revenue-generating operations and will require additional financing or asset monetization to sustain operations beyond the current forecast horizon. These conditions continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3. Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The following tables present the results and financial position of the Company’s discontinued operations for the periods presented. The Company’s Mexico and Argentina operations were substantially concluded during 2024 and 2025, including the Velardeña Properties, Silex Argentina (El Quevar), Yoquivo Project, and related Mexican subsidiaries. For information regarding the individual transactions, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and prior quarterly reports filed with the SEC.

The following table summarizes the major line items for our Mexico operations, both during the current and the comparative periods, that are included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

4. New and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses. As clarified by ASU 2025-01, ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which introduces a practical expedient allowing entities to assume that current conditions will not change when estimating expected credit losses on certain current assets. The ASU became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

5. Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

The Company’s accounts payable and other accrued liabilities consist of the following:

		March 31,				December 31,
		2026				2025
		(in thousands)
Accounts payable and accruals (Note 12)		$	623			$	1,058
Accrued employee compensation and benefits			313				306
		$	936			$	1,364

8. Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis under a framework of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs into valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Further, financial assets and liabilities should be classified by level in their entirety based upon the lowest level of input that was significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy per ASC Topic 820 are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2: Quoted prices in inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or other observable inputs either directly related to the asset or liability or derived principally from corroborated observable market data.

7

Level 3: Unobservable inputs due to the fact that there is little or no market activity. This entails using assumptions in models that estimate what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value by respective level of the fair value hierarchy:

		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
		(in thousands)
At March 31, 2026
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents		$	929			$	—			$	—			$	929
		$	929			$	—			$	—			$	929
At December 31, 2025
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents		$	1,339			$	—			$	—			$	1,339
		$	1,339			$	—			$	—			$	1,339

The Company’s cash equivalents, comprised principally of U.S. treasury securities, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities classified within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

9. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), on a tax jurisdictional basis. In accordance with ASC 740, the interim provision for taxes was calculated by using the estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the year-to-date income or losses on a jurisdictional basis. Although the Company has generated ordinary losses on a year-to-date basis, the Company may have taxable income by year end in certain tax jurisdictions, for which an annual effective tax rate has been calculated. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded zero income tax expense.

In accordance with ASC 740, the Company presents deferred tax assets net of its deferred tax liabilities on a tax jurisdictional basis on its interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no deferred tax assets and no deferred tax liability on the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to a valuation allowance offsetting the net deferred tax assets of the Company.

The Company, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries file tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. The tax rules and regulations in these countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities and in connection with such examinations, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain tax rules within the country involved. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is less than a more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld upon review by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be “unrecognized tax benefits,” which require additional disclosure and recognition of a liability within the financial statements. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

All outstanding common stock warrants are recorded in equity at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, following the guidance established by ASC Topic 815-40. The Company’s common stock warrants allow for potential settlement in cash if certain extraordinary events are effected by the Company, including a 50% or greater change of control in the Company’s common stock. Since those events have been deemed to be within the Company’s control, the Company continues to apply equity treatment for these common stock warrants.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Previously disclosed claims related to the Company’s former operations in Mexico and prior employee and supplier claims have been fully resolved. For information regarding those claims and the Unifin Lawsuit, where the Company does not believe that any future liability would arise, see Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Mexican Mining Concession

In July 2025, the Company was notified by the Mexican Mining Registry of an outstanding balance of approximately $403,000 in fees, penalties, and late fees related to the Rucio mining concession, originally requested by Minera de Cordilleras, a subsidiary sold earlier in 2025. Under the terms of that sale, the Company would be responsible for this claim. The Rucio concession was originally requested in 2011 by a former manager of Minera de Cordilleras, was not issued until 2018, and the Company was never notified of its issuance or any associated payment obligations. The Company elected not to make payment pending further investigation, and the concession has since been cancelled by the Mining Registry. No enforcement action has been filed. The Company has initiated a concession annulment action to challenge the validity of the claim. As of March 31, 2026, no provision has been recorded as management believes that the outcome of this matter is uncertain.

Argentina Labor Claims

During 2025, the Company received three labor claims against its Argentina subsidiary from former employees seeking compensation. One of the labor claims has placed a lien on the Company’s Desierto concessions. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has accrued $250,000 for these matters, representing management’s best estimate of a probable loss. The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims.

10

As a result of the Company’s reduced or ceased operations in Argentina, the Company has been and may in the future be exposed to claims from former employees, labor unions, suppliers, consultants or contractors and tax and environmental claims, which may individually or in the aggregate be material.

12. Related Party Transactions

Accounting and Financial Reporting Services

The Company has outsourced certain aspects of its accounting functions to Avisar Everyday Solutions Ltd. (“Avisar”). The Chief Financial Officer of the Company is a director, an officer, and a principal shareholder of Avisar. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred $32,293 for consulting services provided by Avisar (2025 - $nil). This amount includes payment for CFO and other accounting services; the Company does not incur any additional cash cost to the CFO directly. As of March 31, 2026, the amount owing to Avisar was $11,349.

Directors Compensation

As of March 31, 2026, amounts owing to directors for their fees and expense reimbursements from previous years total $211,367 and are included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (December 31, 2025: $211,367). No additional director fees were accrued during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

13. Subsequent Events

RSU Settlement

On April 9, 2026, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock in connection with the settlement of restricted stock units that had vested in 2025.

Private Placement and Sale of Minera Williams, S.A. de C.V.

In connection with the sale of Minera William, S.A. de C.V. described below, the Company entered into a private placement agreement with Streamline Metals Capital Ltd. (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 3,740,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.2290 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $856,000.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our Company

We were incorporated in Delaware in March 2009 under the Delaware General Corporation Law. We are an exploration company holding or controlling majority interests in the Desierto and Sarita Este concessions, adjoining gold-silver-copper exploration projects located in northwest Salta Province, Argentina. We have also earned a 60% interest in Sand Canyon, an exploration-stage, gold-silver project in northwestern Nevada. We are primarily focused on advancing exploration activities at the Sarita Este/Desierto project and continue to review additional exploration opportunities, primarily in South America.

During 2024 and 2025, the Company substantially divested its operations in Mexico and Argentina, including the Velardeñá Properties, the El Quevar silver project, the Yoquivo exploration property, and several Mexican subsidiaries. On May 14, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its remaining Mexican subsidiary, Minera William, S.A. de C.V., for total proceeds of $1.2 million. The assets of Minera William include net operating losses, a Capital Contribution Account (“CUCA”), the Par de Tres 2 mining concession, and the San Diego royalty. The Company has now substantially concluded its business in Mexico and is focused on its exploration properties in Argentina and Nevada.

Because we have divested our mining operations, our near-term liquidity is principally dependent on proceeds from asset sales and equity financing. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company completed the sale of Minera William and entered into a private placement financing arrangement, as further described in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 2. Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern.”

2026 Highlights

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had no new exploration activity or transactions of significance. The Company continued to focus on preserving cash resources while managing its exploration portfolio and evaluating strategic alternatives.

Sarita Este / Desierto Project

The Desierto project is located in the Puna geological region of Salta Province, Argentina. The Company controls 67% of the Desierto Project and continued discussions with Cascadero Copper Corporation regarding joint venture arrangements during Q1 2026. Following completion of the joint venture agreement, the Company anticipates initiating a Phase I drill program designed to test extensions of gold mineralization from the adjacent Sarita Este property. The timing of any drilling program depends on completing joint venture agreements and securing sufficient funding.

Sand Canyon Project

In January 2025, the Company exercised its option to earn a 60% interest in the Sand Canyon project in Humboldt County, Nevada. The parties are finalizing joint venture documentation. During Q1 2026, no drilling was planned; the Company continued to review historical exploration data to inform future exploration plans.

Financial Results of Operations

For the results of operations discussed below, we compare the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, to the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Exploration expense. Our exploration expense, including property holding costs and allocated administrative expenses, totaled $0.06 million and $0.07 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, essentially unchanged.

12

Administrative expense. Administrative expenses totaled $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Administrative expenses, including costs associated with being a public company, are incurred primarily by our corporate activities in support of our exploration portfolio. The lower administrative expense we incurred during 2026 is primarily related to our continued cost reduction efforts.

Stock-based compensation. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we incurred $0.07 million of stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation varies from period to period depending on the number and timing of equity instruments granted, the type of grant, the market value of the shares on the date of grant and other variables.

Interest and other income, net. We recorded a nominal amount of interest and other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Income Taxes. We recorded zero income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Income/Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes. In 2025, certain businesses were classified as assets held for sale and discontinued operations, including the Rodeo and Velardeña Properties in Mexico. Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes was income of $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The income in the current period reflects $62,000 of net operating income, primarily consisting of (i) a $35,000 refund of mining concession payments related to the Rodeo property and (ii) a $26,000 refund of municipal charges related to the Velardeña property, partially offset by $48,000 of holding costs. The prior year period primarily reflects subsidiary holding and project wind-down costs associated with discontinued operations.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

2026 Liquidity Forecast and Going Concern Qualification

As at March 31, 2026, we did not have sufficient resources to meet our expected cash needs for a period of twelve months beyond the filing date of this 2026 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. At March 31, 2026, we had current assets of approximately $1.0 million, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.9 million. On the same date, we had accounts payable and other current liabilities of approximately $0.9 million.

The Company’s only near-term opportunity to generate cash flow to meet its expected cash requirements is from the sale of assets, equity or other external financing. The Company has been evaluating and pursuing strategic alternatives to address its liquidity requirements. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company completed the sale of Minera William, S.A. de C.V. for total proceeds of $1.2 million and entered into a private placement to issue 3,740,000 shares of common stock at $0.2290 per share for expected gross proceeds of approximately $856,000, subject to Toronto Stock Exchange approval and expected to close on or around May 20, 2026. Based on current forecasts and taking into account the proceeds from these transactions, the Company expects its cash resources to fund operations into early 2027. Notwithstanding this improved near-term liquidity, the Company has no revenue-generating operations and will require additional financing or asset monetization to sustain operations beyond the current forecast horizon. These conditions continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2026 Liquidity Discussion

At March 31, 2026, our aggregate cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.9 million, compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2025 (plus restricted cash of $0.5 million). Combined, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased by $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting the following:

● $0.5 million disbursement of restricted cash to settle obligations of the subsidiaries disposed of during the latter part of 2025;

● $14,000 of income from discontinued operations as described above;

● $0.5 million in general and administrative expenses; and

● $0.06 million in exploration expenditures.

13

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company completed the sale of Minera William for total proceeds of $1.2 million and entered into a private placement expected to generate approximately $856,000 in additional gross proceeds upon closing, subject to Toronto Stock Exchange approval and expected to close on or around May 20, 2026 (see Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information). Based on current forecasts, the Company expects these proceeds to fund operations into early 2027; however, the Company has no revenue-generating operations and will require additional financing to sustain operations beyond that horizon. These conditions continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 2).

These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific factors that could affect us. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such expectations may prove to be materially incorrect due to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. You should not unduly rely on any of our forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We invest substantially all of our excess cash in U.S. government and debt securities rated “investment grade” or better. The rates received on such investments may fluctuate with changes in economic conditions. Based on the average cash and investment balances outstanding during the first three months of 2026, a 1% decrease in interest rates would have resulted in only a nominal reduction in interest income for the period.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Although most of our expenditures are in U.S. dollars, certain purchases of labor, services, supplies and capital assets are denominated in other currencies, primarily in Argentina. As a result, currency exchange fluctuations may impact the costs of our exploration and mining activities. To reduce this risk, we maintain minimum cash balances in foreign currencies and complete most of our purchases in U.S. dollars.

Commodity Price Risk

We are primarily engaged in the exploration of properties containing gold, silver, zinc, lead and other minerals. As a result, decreases in the price of any of these metals have the potential to negatively impact our ability to establish reserves and mine on our properties. We currently hold no commodity derivative positions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2026, (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Previously disclosed claims related to the Company’s former operations in Mexico and prior employee and supplier claims have been fully resolved.

Mexican Mining Concession

The concession has since been cancelled by the Mining Registry and no enforcement action has been filed. The Company has initiated a concession annulment action. See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Argentina Labor Claims

During 2025, the Company received three labor claims against its Argentina subsidiary. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has accrued $250,000 for these matters. The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims. See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
