Paramount Gold Nevada quarterly loss widens to $4.56M
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (PZG) reported a net loss of $4,562,549 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, 6% above the year-earlier loss of $4,324,338; it had no revenue from mining operations in either period. Cash used in operations was $1,792,018, compared with $1,081,039 a year earlier, and cash and equivalents were $8,325,303 at September 30, 2026. Exploration and development expense was $747,510, up 32% from $566,096.
Management expects existing cash resources to fund operations through approximately August 2027. At September 30, 2026, working capital was approximately $8,868,777, excluding the $3,180,611 warrant liability. Management also says substantial doubt remains about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the financial statements are issued, citing ongoing losses and reliance on additional financing. The Bureau of Land Management approved the Grassy Mountain Plan of Operations; before construction, Paramount says it will post a financial bond that triggers an official Decision letter and final Notice to Proceed. During the quarter, it issued 91,000 shares under its at-the-market program for net proceeds of $86,115.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.
Positive
- Major pointBLM approved Grassy Mountain plan; bond precedes final Notice to Proceed.
Negative
- Major pointSubstantial doubt about going concern within 12 months after statements issue.
- Moderate pointNet loss increased 6% year over year to $4,562,549.
- Moderate pointOperating cash used increased to $1,792,018 from $1,081,039 year over year.

PARAMOUNT GOLD NEVADA CORP.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (the “Company” or “Paramount”), incorporated under the General Corporation Law of Nevada, and its wholly owned subsidiaries are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal properties. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries include New Sleeper Gold LLC, Sleeper Mining Company, LLC, and Calico Resources USA Corp (“Calico”). The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties in Nevada and Oregon, United States. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the risk of failing to secure additional funding to advance its projects and the risks of determining whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the NYSE AMERICAN LLC under the symbol “PZG”.
Basis of Presentation and Preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all the normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the interim financial information set forth herein have been included.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, are presented in US dollars and follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended June 30, 2026.
Significant Accounting Policies
Please see Note 1- Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2026.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-03, 'Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,' aimed at enhancing the transparency of expense information in financial statements. The ASU seeks to improve the decision usefulness of expense information by requiring public business entities to disaggregate certain expense captions in the notes to financial statements. This includes detailed disclosures of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion expenses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of adopting the provisions of this new ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 2. Going Concern
The Company has not generated any revenues or cash flows from operations to date. As such the Company is subject to all the risks associated with development stage companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities which have been funded from the issuance of common stock, prefunded warrants, convertible notes, note payable and the sale of royalties on its mineral properties. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future, if at all, until such time it successfully initiates production at its Grassy Mountain or Sleeper Projects, including obtaining construction financing, completing the construction of the proposed mine and anticipates incurring operating losses for the foreseeable future.
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which means that the continuation of the Company is presumed even though events and conditions exist that, when considered in aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because it is possible that the Company will be required to adversely change its current business plan or may be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued.
Paramount expects to continue to incur losses as a result of costs and expenses related to maintaining its properties and general and administrative expenses. Since 2015, the Company has relied on equity financings, debt financings and sale of royalties to fund its operations and the Company expects to rely on these forms of financing to fund operations into the near future.
6
Paramount’s current business plan requires working capital to fund non-discretionary expenditures for its exploration and development activities on its mineral properties, mineral property holding costs and general and administrative expenses.
Subsequent to November 13, 2026, the Company expects to fund operations as follows:
At September 30, 2026, the Company’s cash balance was $
Historically, the Company has been successful in accessing capital through equity and debt financing arrangements or by the sale of royalties on its mineral properties, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain additional capital or financing, the Company's operations, maintenance of our mining claims and the value of our project assets, exploration and development activities would be significantly adversely affected. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on having sufficient capital to maintain our operations. In considering the Company's financing plans and current working capital position the Company believes there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern twelve months after the date that our financial statements are issued.
Note 3. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization with the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Our financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, the derivative liability of royalty convertible debenture (see Note 6) and warrants (Note 7). Due to their short maturity of our cash, prepaids and deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, we believe that their carrying amounts approximate fair value as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026.
The following tables present the fair value of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company determined that the derivative liability (Note 6) embedded in the Debenture is required to be accounted for separately from the Debenture as a derivative liability and recorded at fair value and the remaining value allocated to the Debenture net the unamortized debt issuance costs. The derivative liability is fair valued at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the fair value derivative liability increased by $
As of September 30, 2026, the Royalty conversion feature is recorded at $
The Company uses a Monte Carlo Simulation framework to measure the fair value of the Royalty Conversion feature. The Company uses the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation technique to capture the Company's buyback feature and the conversion feature. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in the gold and silver price assumptions have been the main driver in the increase of the cumulative present value of the royalty stream.

In connection with the Debenture, Paramount and Calico entered into a Mining Right of First Refusal Option to Purchase Agreement (the “ROFR”) in favor of Sprott. Pursuant to the ROFR, Paramount has granted to Sprott the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed grant, sale or issuance to any third party of a stream, royalty or similar interest (a “Mineral Interest”) based on or with reference to future production from the proposed Grassy Mountain gold and silver mine.

Note 7. Warrants
On August 25, 2025, the Company issued
11
The outstanding warrants are classified as a liability on the condensed consolidated interim balance sheet. The prefunded warrants will be presented within current liabilities as they are exercisable at any time at the holder’s option. The prefunded warrants, which have a nominal exercise price, are measured at fair value by applying a discount to the Company's common stock price at each reporting date.
After the occurrence of an event that is outside of the Company’s control, the warrant holders have the option to elect to exercise the warrant or to exchange the warrant for a security in the successor entity with similar terms and conditions. This term, which provides the warrant holders with a variation in settlement that is not provided to the common shareholders, fails to meet the indexation guidance under ASC 815. As such, the warrants were established as a liability on the balance sheet at the time of issuance and are remeasured to fair value each reporting date by applying a discount to the Company’s common stock price as of the reporting date, which is further discussed in Note 3. As of September 30, 2026, the prefunded warrants have a fair value of $

Sleeper:
Sleeper is located in Humboldt County, Nevada, approximately 26 miles northwest of the town of Winnemucca.
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company sold
Grassy Mountain:
The Grassy Mountain Project is located in Malheur County, Oregon, approximately 22 miles south of Vale, Oregon, and roughly 70 miles west of Boise, Idaho.
Impairment of Mineral Properties
The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. As at September 30, 2026, no events or changes in circumstance are believed to have impacted recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets. Accordingly, it was determined that no interim impairment was necessary.
Note 9. Reclamation and Environmental Obligation
Reclamation and environmental costs are based principally on legal requirements. Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mineral properties and properties under mine closure. On an ongoing basis the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual amounts could differ from those based on estimates and assumptions.
The Company has posted several cash bonds as financial security to satisfy reclamation requirements for its Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") mining claims. The balance of posted cash reclamation bonds at September 30, 2026 is $
Paramount is responsible for managing the reclamation activities from the previous mine operations at the Sleeper Gold Mine as directed by the BLM and the Nevada State Department of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”). Paramount has estimated the undiscounted reclamation costs for existing disturbances and monitoring at the Sleeper Gold Project required by the BLM and NDEP to be $

Note 10. Segmented Information
The Company’s reportable segments are comprised of operating units that have losses or assets exceeding 10% of the respective consolidated totals and are consistent with the Company’s management reporting structure. At Paramount, management organizes its segments by material property to make operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company's properties include the Sleeper Gold Project and the Grassy Mountain Project. Additional operating expenses incurred by the Company are treated as corporate overhead. Interest expense incurred by the Company is included in corporate overhead and the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") does not rely on allocating interest expense by reportable segment to assess performance of the segment. Segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the CODM. The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give the Company's current expectations and forecasts of future events. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this quarterly report, including statements regarding the Company's future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the Company's current plans, and the Company's actual future activities and results of operations may be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this quarterly report may turn out to be inaccurate. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. The forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and in the risk factors on Form 10-K that was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on September 17, 2026. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein, to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or any other change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result we report our mineral reserves and mineral resources according to two different standards. U.S. reporting requirements, for disclosure of mineral properties, are governed by Item 1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”), as issued by the SEC. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), as adopted from the definitions provided by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. Both sets of reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but the standards embody slightly different approaches and definitions.
In our public filings in the U.S. and Canada and in certain other announcements not filed with the SEC, we disclose proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources, each as defined in S-K 1300. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves, and therefore investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into S-K 1300-compliant reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources, and therefore it cannot be assumed that all or any part of inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically.
Overview
We are engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing precious metal projects in the United States. Paramount owns advanced stage exploration projects in the states of Nevada and Oregon. We seek to enhance the value of our projects by implementing exploration and engineering programs designed to expand and upgrade known mineralized material to reserves. The following discussion provides an update on our outlook and plan of operations for the foreseeable future. It also analyzes our financial condition and summarizes the results of our operations for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and compares these results to the results of the prior year three months ended September 30, 2025.
Operating Highlights:
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, key highlights include:
Outlook and Plan of Operation:
As a development stage company, we do not generate cash flow from our operations. Accordingly, we place a strong emphasis on liquidity management and capital allocation. We carefully monitor cash expenditures and seek opportunities to reduce costs where appropriate. We ensure that we maintain sufficient cash on hand for our loan covenants and to meet our annual land holding costs as the maintenance of mining claims and leases is essential to preserving the value of our mineral property assets.

Comparison of Operating Results for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
We did not earn any revenue from mining operations for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $4,562,549 compared to a net loss of $4,324,338 in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The drivers of the increase in net loss of 6% are fully described below.
The Company expects to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we continue with our planned exploration and development programs.
Expenses
Exploration, Development, Reclamation and Land Holding Costs
For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, exploration expenses were $747,510 and $566,096, respectively. This represents an increase of 32% or $181,414. Expenses related to our exploration or development activities are generally not comparable from period to period as activities will vary based on several factors. At Grassy Mountain, the Company continued with on-going permitting activities with state and federal agencies and qualified persons continued with the update of our S-K -1300 feasibility study. These expenses totaled $623,554. At Sleeper, expenses of $123,956 were related to general operations and preparing for the planned exploration drill program.
For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, reclamation expenses were $32,329 and $37,880, respectively. This represents a decrease of 15% or $5,551. The decrease in reclamation expenses reflects reduced third-party support for ongoing monitoring for the Sleeper Gold Project as the Company continues to look for ways to streamline how these costs are incurred; however, it is too early to conclude that this decrease represents a trend.
For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, land holding costs were $184,267 and $188,608, respectively. The relatively unchanged land holding costs from the prior period reflect the consistent number of mining claims held by the Company.
Salaries and Benefits
For the three month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, salary and benefits were $244,698 and $197,970, respectively. This represents an increase of 24%. Salary and benefits are comprised of cash and equity based compensation of the Company’s executive and corporate administration teams. The increase is mainly due to the higher stock based compensation that was recorded in the current period from the comparable prior year period. Included in the salary and benefits expense amount for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was non-cash equity based compensation applicable to executive and administration employees of $47,760 and $17,730, respectively.
Directors’ Compensation
For the three month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, directors’ compensation expenses were $57,067 and $42,438, respectively. This represents an increase of 34%. Directors’ compensation consists of cash and stock-based compensation of the Company’s board of directors. The increase reflects higher equity based compensation recorded in the current quarter compared to the prior year’s comparable period.
Professional Fees and General and Administration
For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, professional fees were $195,036 and $245,048, respectively. This represents a decrease of $50,012. The decrease was mainly due to one time advisory fees incurred in the prior period that were not incurred in the current comparable period. Professional fees include legal, audit, advisory and consultant expenses incurred on corporate and operational activities being performed by the Company on a period-by-period basis.
For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, general and administration expenses increased by $168,743 or 89% to $358,313 from $189,570 for the same period in 2025. The increase reflects approximately $91,000 of higher recurring costs, primarily investor relations, insurance and travel, which the Company expects to continue in future periods, and approximately $78,000 of non-recurring costs, primarily related to compliance and reporting.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As an exploration and development company, Paramount funds its operations, reclamation activities and discretionary exploration programs with its cash on hand. At September 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8,325,303 compared to $9,931,206 as of June 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, excluding the warrant liability of $3,180,611, we had working capital of approximately $8,868,777. Based on the Company's current operating plan, existing cash resources are expected to fund operations through approximately August 2027. The Company's planned expenditures primarily consist of corporate general and administrative costs
17
and expenditures related to the permitting and advancement of its mineral properties. Certain project expenditures including exploration, production development, engineering, technical studies and/or other project advancement activities, are discretionary as to timing and scope and may be reduced or deferred depending on available liquidity and the timing of additional financing. Our plan to manage our liquidity position is described below under Going Concern and Capital Resources.
In May 2020, the Company established an $8.0 million ATM equity offering program with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor") and Canaccord Genuity LLC to proactively increase its financial flexibility. In November 2025, the Company established a new $14.9 million "at the market" offering program with Cantor and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company issued 91,000 shares under the program for net proceeds of $86,115.
The main uses of cash for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were:
In addition to cash used in operating activities, the Company received cash during the three months ended September 30, 2026 as follows:
Going Concern and Capital Resources
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which means that the continuation of the Company is presumed even though events and conditions exist that, when considered in aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because it is possible that the Company will be required to adversely change its current business plan or may be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements were issued.
Paramount expects to continue to incur losses as a result of costs and expenses related to maintaining its properties and general and administrative expenses. Since 2015, the Company has relied on equity financings, debt financings and sale of royalties to fund its operations and the Company expects to rely on these forms of financing to fund operations into the near future.
Paramount’s current business plan requires working capital to fund non-discretionary expenditures for its exploration and development activities on its mineral properties, mineral property holding costs and general and administrative expenses.
We anticipate our twelve-month cash expenditures to be as follows:
We anticipate our twelve-month cash discretionary exploration and development, subject to available cash on hand, as follows:
For any interest that accrues and is owing on the outstanding Debenture, the Company expects to elect to pay the quarterly-annual interest payment in shares of its Common Stock.
Subsequent to November 13, 2026, the Company expects to fund operations as follows:
Historically, we have been successful in accessing capital through equity and debt financing arrangements or by the sale of royalties on our mineral properties, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our operations, exploration and development activities will be significantly adversely affected. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on having sufficient capital to maintain our operations. In considering our financing plans, our current working capital position and our ability to reduce operating expenses, the Company believes there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern twelve months after the date that our financial statements are issued.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management considers the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies are those related to mineral property acquisition costs, exploration and development costs, asset retirement obligations, warrant liability accounting and derivative liability accounting.
Estimates
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements and notes in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to the adequacy of the Company’s reclamation and environmental obligations, the assessment of impairment of mineral properties, and the fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Warrants
The fair value of the Company’s pre-funded warrant liability is estimated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the reporting date, adjusted for a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) related to restrictions on the underlying shares. The determination of the DLOM requires judgment and changes in this assumption could materially affect the estimated fair value of the warrant liability.
Mineral property acquisition costs
The Company capitalizes the cost of acquiring mineral properties and will amortize these costs over the useful life of a property following the commencement of production or expense these costs if it is determined that the mineral property has reduced or no future economic value or the properties are sold or abandoned. Costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts of the specific mineral property at the time the payments are made.
The amounts recorded as mineral properties reflect actual costs incurred to acquire the properties.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The fair value of the Company’s asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) is measured by discounting the expected cash flows using a discount factor that reflects the credit-adjusted risk free rate of interest, while taking into account the inflation rate. The Company prepares estimates of the timing and amounts of expected cash flows and ongoing reclamation expenditures are charged against the ARO as incurred to the extent they relate to the ARO. Significant judgments and estimates are made when estimating the fair value of ARO.
Convertible debt and derivative liabilities
We account for royalty convertible debenture with conversion features in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The embedded conversion features are assessed to determine whether they meet the criteria for separate accounting as derivatives. If so, they are bifurcated and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in our Statement of Operations and the remaining value allocated to the royalty convertible debenture net of the unamortized debt issuance costs. The determination of fair value involves the use of estimates, assumptions, and valuation models, including but not limited to discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. These estimates and assumptions may include, but are not limited to, future interest rates, volatility of gold and silver prices, and credit spreads and changes in these inputs could result in significant adjustments to the fair value of our derivatives and may impact our financial results. The fair value of the Company’s derivative liability is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation, which incorporates assumptions that require management judgment. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value of the derivative liability.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The evaluation considered the procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 13d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
(c) Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of its inherent limitations, disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation or effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
