Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

(Unaudited – In thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)

 

 

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

Solaris Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Solaris”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on June 18, 2018 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Equinox Gold Corp. (“Equinox”). Equinox subsequently completed a spin-out of Solaris pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”). Solaris’ common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “SLS” and the NYSE American under the symbol “SLSR”.

 

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral property interests. The Company’s assets consist primarily of the Warintza property (“Warintza”) in Ecuador, the 60% owned La Verde property (“La Verde”) in Mexico and the Tamarugo property (“Tamarugo”) in Chile. The Company has not yet determined whether the properties contain mineral reserves where extraction is both technically feasible and commercially viable. The business of mining and exploration for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that such activities will result in profitable mining operations.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes 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 does not generate operating cash flow from a producing mine and has incurred operating losses to date. The Company has relied on cash received from share issuances and loan financing to fund its business activities, including planned corporate expenditures, exploration expenses, as well as the development activities for the Warintza project. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful execution of its business plan, meeting certain Warintza project milestones, raising additional capital and/or evaluating.

 

As at June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $47,047. On May 21, 2025, the Company entered into a funding package with RGLD Gold AG (“Royal Gold”), a subsidiary of Royal Gold, Inc. for the Warintza project. The total cash consideration under the agreements is $200,000, comprising a gold stream agreement (“Stream”) and net smelter return royalty agreement (“Royalty”) (collectively the “Financing Agreements”). Royal Gold will pay Solaris a total cash consideration of $200,000 in three instalments as follows:

 

First tranche of $100,000 upon close of the transaction (funds received at closing which occurred concurrently with signing). $90,000 allocated to the Stream (“Stream Upfront Payment”) and $10,000 allocated to the Royalty;

 

Second tranche of $50,000 made available following the publication of the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) and receipt of the Environmental Impact Assessment technical approval (“EIA”), which will be allocated to the Stream; and

 

Third tranche of $50,000 made available on the first anniversary of the closing date and completion of all filings necessary to fully perfect Royal Gold’s security, which will be allocated to the Stream.

 

Based on its current forecasted expenditures, the Company requires the additional financing from the second tranche of the Royal Gold funding package to fund ongoing operations for the next twelve months. As a result, material uncertainty exists that casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the consolidated statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was inappropriate. These adjustments could be material. Refer to Note 9 for details on the streaming agreement.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

Statement of compliance

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS 34”), Interim Financial Reporting, and do not include all of the information required for annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company’s financial position and performances since the last annual financial statements.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The accounting policies, significant judgments made by management in applying these policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 12, 2025.

 

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

New material accounting policies include the following:

 

a) Deferred revenue

 

Gold revenue subject to the streaming agreement

 

The Company recognized the consideration received from Royal Gold relating to the streaming agreement, as deferred revenue and will recognize the amounts in revenue as it satisfies its obligation to deliver gold to Royal Gold over the life of the contract.

 

The Company determines the amortization of deferred revenue to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss on a per unit basis. In streaming arrangements, the estimated total quantity of gold expected to be delivered to Royal Gold over the term of the contract is used. Subsequent changes to expected mine plan will result in an adjustment to revenue in the year of change and is prospectively adjusted for the quantity of gold expected to be delivered under the contract.

 

Where consideration is received in advance of the Company’s performance of its obligation, there is an inherent financing component in the transaction. When the period between the receipt of consideration and revenue recognition is greater than one year, the Company determines whether the financing component is significant to the contract.

 

Where a contract is determined to have a significant financing component, the transaction price is adjusted to reflect the financing. The discount rate used in adjusting the promised amount of consideration is the rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the Company and the customer at contract inception. This rate is not subsequently adjusted for any other changes over the contract term.

 

The accretion of the interest expense is recognized in the finance expense line in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

Refer to Note 9 for details on the streaming agreement.

 

b) Sale of royalty interest

 

The Company records the proceeds from the sale of a royalty interest on a property against the value of the Exploration and Evaluation asset in the statement of financial position, with any excess once the value reaches $0 to be recognized as a gain in the statement of net loss. Refer to Notes 6 and 9 for details on the royalty agreement.

4. USE OF JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

 

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

 

New judgements and estimates recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

a) Accounting for streaming arrangements

 

Management has applied judgment in the assessment that the Stream (Note 9) constitutes a contract for the future sale of commodities to the counterparty. The contract will be settled through the delivery of commodity and in no event settled in cash except in the event of a change of control or exercise of the termination option. The deposit is therefore recorded as deferred revenue and is not a financial liability. Management assessed that the contract contained a significant financing component, which required making estimates, with information reasonably available to the parties at contract inception, of the quantity and the cash selling price of the promised goods to be delivered under the Stream in order to determine the implicit interest rate of the agreement. These estimates are subject to variability and may have an impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognized. Management exercised judgment in applying IFRS 15, as the treatment of the deposit given the contract liability is a key judgment and is based on the expected delivery of the Company’s future production.

ENAMI Concessions (Ecuador)   c)     250       250  
        $ 19,991     $ 20,179  

 

a) La Verde

 

La Verde is situated in the Sierra Madre del Sur west of Mexico City in Michoacán State, Mexico and consists of the Unificación Santa Maria claim. The project is held 60% by the Company and 40% by a subsidiary of Teck Resources Ltd. The joint venture agreement governing the operation and funding of La Verde was formalized effective February 28, 2015 (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides that Solaris is the operator of the project. The Agreement further provides for dilution of either party’s ownership should funding not be provided in accordance with their respective participating interests. La Verde is subject to a 0.5% net smelter royalty held by Minera CIMA, S.A. de C.V.

 

b) Warintza

 

The Company owns a 100% interest in Warintza. Warintza is located in southeastern Ecuador in the province of Morona Santiago, Canton Limon Indanza. It consists of nine mining concessions (the “Concessions”) covering a total of 26,774 hectares. The Concessions have a term of 25 years and can be renewed for additional periods of 25 years. South32 Royalty Investments Pty Ltd holds a 2% net smelter royalty on the original four concessions covering a total of 10,000 hectares.

 

As part of the Royal Gold Financing Agreements, the Company issued a 0.3% net smelter return royalty to Royal Gold. The value of the NSR royalty was $10,000 (Note 9). The Company has accounted for the consideration received as a reduction $188 to the carrying value of the Warintza property and a $9,812 gain on the sale of a royalty interest. The NSR royalty value was determined, as per the contract and the cash received from the transaction.

 

c) ENAMI 1 Option

 

Solaris has entered an option agreement to acquire up to a 100% interest in 10 new exploration concessions from the Ecuadorian state-owned mining company, Empresa Nacional Minera (“ENAMI EP”). These concessions comprise a land package of approximately 40,000 hectares adjacent to the Warintza Project and the San Carlos-Panantza porphyry copper-molybdenum deposits in southeastern Ecuador.

 

The Company made an upfront payment to ENAMI EP of $250 on May 10, 2024 and, in order to exercise the option to acquire one or more of the 10 concessions, the Company is required to (i) incur exploration expenditures of $25,000 during the exploration phase of the concessions, as defined by the Ecuadorian Mining Law and (ii) pay the exercise price, the amount of which will be determined for each of the concessions that the Company elects to acquire by independent experts at the time of exercise. The term of the option agreement ends at the earlier of (i) the execution of the specific commercial agreement for each concession, which will stipulate a new term or (ii) four years from May 7, 2024 and is renewable with the agreement of the parties.

On December 11, 2023, the Company entered into a financing package with OMF Fund IV SPV D LLC and OMF Fund IV SPV E LLC (collectively “OMF”), entities managed by Orion, to provide up to approximately $80,000 in aggregate funding for the advancement of the Warintza project in Ecuador. The financing package is comprised of a $60,000 Senior Loan, a subscription for $10,000 in common shares with a commitment for $10,000 in additional equity financing and a copper offtake agreement to purchase concentrate produced by the Warintza project. On December 19, 2023, the Company also signed a molybdenum offtake agreement with OMF.

 

a) Senior Loan – OMF Fund IV SPV D LLC

 

A first advance of $30,000 was received on December 21, 2023. An additional advance of $15,000 was received on September 13, 2024. And a final advance of $15,000 was received on May 14, 2025.

At June 30, 2025, the Senior Loan is measured at amortized cost using an effective interest rate of 16.18% (December 31, 2024 – 12.80%).

 

The Company has the option quarterly to elect to pay the interest in cash or accruing it to the principal amount of the Senior Loan and paying it upon maturity. The interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was accrued to the principal amount of the Senior Loan.

 

On May 21, 2025 the Company entered into a financing agreement with Royal Gold and provided the funding required to repay the senior loan facility, as outlined below in numeral (c).

 

b) Offtake agreements

 

Under the terms of the offtake agreements, OMF will purchase the greater of (i) 20% of the copper and molybdenum concentrates produced from the Warintza project in each contract year, and (ii) the percentage of production of concentrates required to deliver a minimum 30,000 tonnes of copper and 1,500 tonnes of molybdenum in each contract year as well as the corresponding amount of gold and silver contained in the copper concentrate.

 

The offtake agreements will expire 20 years after the achievement of commercial production as defined in the agreements. If commercial production has not been achieved by December 31, 2027, then the term will extend by one year for each calendar year that commercial production has not been achieved, and if commercial production has not been achieved by December 31, 2032, then the term is extended for the duration of the mine life as defined in the offtake agreements.

c) Funding package with Royal Gold

 

On May 21, 2025, the Company entered into a funding package with Royal Gold, a subsidiary of Royal Gold, Inc. for the Warintza project. The total cash consideration under the Financing Agreements is $200,000, comprising a Stream and a Royalty.

 

Royal Gold will pay Solaris a total cash consideration of $200,000 in three instalments as follows:

 

First tranche of $100,000 upon close of the transaction (funds received at closing which occurred concurrently with signing). $90,000 allocated to the Stream and $10,000 allocated to the Royalty as per the contracts and cash received;

 

Second tranche of $50,000 made available following the publication of the PFS and receipt of the technical approval of the EIA, which will be allocated to the Stream as per the contract; and

 

Third tranche of $50,000 made available on the first anniversary of the closing date and completion of all filings necessary to fully perfect Royal Gold’s security, which will be allocated to the Stream as per the contract.

 

Under the terms of the Stream, Royal Gold will receive gold deliveries equivalent to 20 ounces per 1 million pounds of copper produced from a defined area (RGLD Gold AOI). For each ounce of gold delivered under the Stream, Royal Gold will pay the Company a purchase price equal to 20% of spot price until 90,000 ounces have been delivered; and then 60% of spot price thereafter.

 

Under the terms of the Royalty, Royal Gold will receive a 0.3% net smelter return royalty on all metal production from a defined area (RGLD Gold Expanded AOI). The Royalty will increase annually by 0.0375%, up to a maximum of 0.6%, until the earlier of: the first delivery of gold under the Stream; or eight years following the closing date.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Stream and related documents are secured by (i) an all-asset British Columbia-law general security agreement made by the Company in favour of Royal Gold, and (ii) a British Columbia-law share pledge agreement made by the Company in favour of Royal Gold in respect of all of the shares of its direct wholly-owned subsidiary Lowell Copper Holdings Inc. (“Lowell Copper”). The obligations under the Stream are further guaranteed pursuant to a British Columbia-law guarantee from (i) Lowell Copper, which guaranteed obligations are secured by an all-asset British Columbia-law general security agreement made by Lowell Copper in favour of Royal Gold, and (ii) Lowell Mineral Exploration Ecuador S.A. (“Lowell Ecuador”). The obligations under the Stream will be further (i) secured pursuant to an Ecuador-law share pledge agreement to be granted by Lowell Copper in favour of Royal Gold in respect of all of the shares of its direct wholly-owned subsidiary Lowell Ecuador, and (ii) guaranteed pursuant to an Ecuador-law guarantee to be granted by Lowell Ecuador in favour of Royal Gold, which guaranteed obligations are to be secured by an Ecuador-law assignment of mining rights.

 

Solaris Resources AG’s (“Solaris Switzerland”) obligations under the Royalty and related documents are guaranteed (i) by a British Columbia-law limited recourse guarantee from the Company, which guaranteed obligations are to be secured by a Swiss-law share pledge agreement to be granted by the Company in respect of all of the shares of its direct wholly-owned subsidiary Solaris Switzerland. In addition to the above-noted guarantees and security, as further guarantees and security for the obligations under the Royalty, (i) Solaris Switzerland is to grant in favour of Royal Gold a Swiss-law security assignment of all receivables owed by the Company or Lowell Ecuador to Solaris Switzerland in respect of certain intercompany receivables and funding arrangements between the Company or Lowell Ecuador and Solaris Switzerland, (ii) the Company is to grant in favour of Royal Gold a Swiss-law share pledge agreement in respect of all of the shares of its direct wholly-owned subsidiary Solaris Switzerland. Additionally, the guarantees and security granted to Royal Gold in respect of the obligations under the Stream are to guarantee and/or secure the obligations under the Royalty.

 

The Company recorded the Stream Upfront Payment as deferred revenue. The Company determines the amortization of deferred revenue on a per unit basis using the estimated total gold production over the life of the Warintza project.

Deferred revenue consists of: 1) initial Stream Upfront Payment received by the Company for future delivery of gold under the terms of the Stream, and 2) a significant financing component of the stream agreement resulting from the difference in the timing of the upfront payment received and the promised goods delivered. As such, the Company recognizes interest expense at each reporting period and will accrete the deferred revenue balance to recognize the significant financing element that is part of the Stream. The interest rate of 4.6% is determined based on the effective rate in the expected deliveries against the deferred revenue.

b) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short term business requirements after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash.

 

At June 30, 2025, the Company had contractual cash flow commitments as follows:

 

    < 1 Year     1-3 Years     4-5 Years     > 5 Years     Total  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   $ 6,833     $     $     $     $ 6,833  
Lease liabilities     111       382                   493  
Other long-term liabilities                       248       248  
Exploration expenses and other     920       1,058                   1,978  
    $ 7,864     $ 1,440     $     $ 248     $ 9,552  

 

c) Foreign currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to currency risk on transactions and balances in currencies other than the functional currency. At June 30, 2025, the Company had not entered into any contracts to manage foreign exchange risk.

 

The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar, therefore, the Company is exposed to currency risk from the assets and liabilities denominated in the US dollar. As at June 30, 2025, cash of $ 32,499 (December 31, 2024– $15,858), loans and borrowings of $0, (December 31, 2024 – $49,206, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $(86) (December 31, 2024 - $421) are denominated in the US dollar. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, if the US dollar to Canadian dollar currency exchange rate changes by 5% with all other variables held constant, the impact on the Company’s net gain would be $1,562 (six months ended June 30, 2024 – $352).

 

The Company is also exposed to currency risk on financial assets and liabilities denominated in Peruvian soles, Chilean pesos, Mexican pesos and Guatemalan quetzals. However, the impact on such exposure is not currently material.

 

15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, due from related parties, restricted cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short terms to maturity. There were no transfers between fair value levels in the periods presented.

OUTLOOK

 

Following the submission of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) for the Warintza Project for regulatory review and approval, submitted in August 2024, the Company is working alongside the Government of Ecuador’s technical teams and expects to receive receipt of the technical approval for the project in Q3 2025.

 

In addition, between January 2024 and February 2025, Solaris completed over 82,000 metres of infill drilling, positioning the Company to upgrade a substantial portion of Inferred Resources to the Measured and Indicated categories. An updated MRE, targeted for Q3 2025, will incorporate this data, adding precision and confidence ahead of economic studies and advancing the Warintza Project toward development. The drilling campaign also included more than 15,000 metres of geotechnical, hydrogeological and metallurgical holes that will support the technical studies for the project.

 

Solaris is simultaneously performing work to unlock value across its broader 100%-owned land package of over 260 km², which contains several high-priority regional targets. Step-out field exploration activities are ongoing.

 

As announced in May 2024, the Company has been working alongside leading international consulting firms, including: Ausenco Engineering, Knight Piésold Consulting and AMC Consultants to deliver a PFS. Solaris is advancing its PFS with completion targeted for Q3 2025. Work will then transition into the Bankable Feasibility Study, to advance a fully optimized and financeable development plan.

 

The receipt of the technical approval for the EIA for the Warintza Project in addition to the publication of the PFS will form the basis for the Exploitation permitting application, working alongside the Government of Ecuador’s technical teams. The Company will look to begin this process in late 2025.

 

Solaris remains committed to its participatory mining model, fostering strong local partnerships and social license while building long-term value for all stakeholders. With sustained progress across technical, environmental, and social fronts, the Company is on track to deliver a Final Investment Decision by year-end 2026, a pivotal milestone aligned with a robust global copper market outlook.

 

Warintza

 

Warintza is a large-scale porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold project located in southeastern Ecuador in the province of Morona Santiago, Canton Limon Indanza, north of the Mirador copper-gold mine (owned by CRCC-Tongguan) and the Fruta del Norte gold mine (owned by Lundin Gold) and adjacent to the San Carlos-Panantza copper project (owned by CRCC-Tongguan).

 

The property includes nine metallic mineral concessions covering 26,774 hectares. Four concessions with an area of 9,997 hectares are permitted for exploration activities including drilling and path construction. South32 Royalty Investments Pty Ltd holds a 2% net smelter royalty on the original four concessions. Concessions have a term of 25 years and can be renewed for additional periods of 25 years. In April 2024, the Company announced an option to acquire up to a 100% interest in 10 new explorations concessions, comprising a land package of ~40,000 hectares adjacent to Warintza and interpreted to host porphyry copper and epithermal gold potential. As at June 30, 2025, the Company has incurred approximately $224  ,000 in exploration expenses at Warintza.

 

Warintza enjoys the support of its local Shuar Centres of Warints and Yawi with whom the Company shares an Impact and Benefit Agreement (“IBA”), which was first signed in September 2020, renewed in March 2022 and again renewed in April 2024. The IBA provides certainty of community support for the responsible advancement of the Warintza Project from exploration and development through to production and is a major milestone in the Company’s innovative corporate social responsibility program. This was the first IBA established in Ecuador and set the precedent for industry best practice for inclusive and mutually beneficial resource development in partnership with Indigenous Peoples. The IBA formalizes commitments toward supporting partner communities in their social and cultural practices. It also provides for eliminating or mitigating adverse impacts, employment, contracting and business opportunities supported by a robust program of education, skills and training together with community infrastructure development and financial benefits to maximize community participation and positive outcomes for Indigenous Peoples. In March 2024, Solaris announced a trilateral cooperation agreement with FICSH, the highest authority and largest Shuar indigenous organization legally established by statute of the Ministry of Social Welfare of Ecuador in 1964 and includes 50 associations comprising 500 Shuar communities and approximately 143,000 Shuar indigenous people, and with the Alianza para el Emprendimiento e Innovación (“AEI”) of Ecuador. The agreement aims to promote the economic and social development of Shuar communities represented by FICSH, including the communities of Warints and Yawi, with programs in health, education, skills training, entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainable mineral resource development.

Further to the above, on January 18, 2025, at the Yawi Shuar Center, the Pueblo Shuar Arutam (“PSHA”) resolved to form the working group and on February 5, 2025, ratified this process by the signing of the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Solaris. The PSHA, located in the southeast of the province Morona Santiago, is made up of nearly ten thousand people organized into 47 Shuar centers. The objective of the Inter-Institutional working group and its subsequent ratification through the signing of the LOI is to develop transparent dialogue processes and workshops in order to promote the signing of a future Cooperation Agreement, under the consent of the communities.

 

In July 2024, the Company reported the results of an updated MRE for the Warintza Project with In-Pit Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 909 Mt at 0.53% CuEq (0.37% Cu, 0.02% Mo, 0.05 g/t Au) and additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 1,426 Mt at 0.37% CuEq (0.27% Cu, 0.01% Mo, 0.04 g/t Au) at a base case 0.25% CuEq cut-off grade.

 

The Warintza Project successfully completed a phase change of the environmental license from initial exploration to advanced exploration following the completion of an EIA and community consultation process in late 2022. The Company continues to work with the Government of Ecuador on obtaining key permits and licenses for the advancement of the Project.

 

In December 2022, Solaris and the Government of Ecuador signed an Investment Contract for the Warintza Project which provides for the following protections and incentives for the duration of the title of the Project which extends with renewal to 2066: security of investment, stability of mining law, stability of taxes at a reduced income tax rate of 20% (25% previously), exemption from capital outflow tax (5% previously), exemption from import duties (up to 5% previously), and detailed procedures for dispute resolution and international arbitration protection.

 

As part of the Royal Gold transaction, the Company issued a 0.3% net smelter return royalty (“NSR royalty”) to Royal Gold. The value of the NSR royalty was $10,000. The Company has accounted for the consideration given as a reduction $188 to the carrying value of the Warintza property and a $9,812 gain on the sale of a royalty interest. The NSR royalty value was determined, as per the contract and the cash received from the transaction.

 

La Verde

 

La Verde is situated in the Sierra Madre del Sur west of Mexico City in Michoacán State, Mexico and consists of the Unificación Santa Maria claim. The project is accessible year-round by paved roads and is strategically located next to key infrastructure with easy access to water, power and rail. The Company has recently completed desktop analysis regarding potential development options, utilizing underground mining methods.

 

The project is held 60% by the Company and 40% by a subsidiary of Teck Resources Ltd.

 

The joint venture agreement governing the operation and funding of La Verde was formalized effective February 28, 2015 (the “La Verde Agreement”). The La Verde Agreement provides that Solaris is the operator of the project. The La Verde Agreement further provides for dilution of either parties’ ownership should funding not be provided in accordance with their respective participating interests. La Verde is subject to a 0.5% net smelter royalty held by Minera CIMA, S.A. de C.V.

 

ENAMI CONCESSIONS

 

Solaris has entered an option agreement to acquire up to a 100% interest in 10 new explorations concessions from the Ecuadorian state-owned mining company, ENAMI EP. These concessions comprise a land package of ~40,000 hectares adjacent to the Warintza Project and the San Carlos-Panantza porphyry copper-molybdenum deposits in southeastern Ecuador. The new concessions are interpreted to host porphyry copper and epithermal gold potential.

 

The Company made an upfront payment to ENAMI EP of $250 and, in order to exercise the option to acquire one or more of the 10 concessions, the Company is required to (i) incur exploration expenditures of $25,000 during the exploration phase of the concessions, as defined by the Ecuadorian Mining Law; and (ii) pay the exercise price, the amount of which will be determined for each of the concessions that the Company elects to acquire by independent experts at the time of exercise. The term of the option agreement ends at the earlier of (i) the execution of the specific commercial agreement for each concession, which will stipulate a new term; or (ii) four years from May 7, 2024 and is renewable with the agreement of the parties.

(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)

 

 

Fieldwork at the new ENAMI EP exploration concessions have identified targets with a similar signature across multiple layers of data to Warintza. A number of porphyry copper targets have been identified by open-ended annular magnetic highs enclosing magnetic lows and erosional depressions, consistent with outcropping deposits within the Warintza porphyry cluster for follow-up.

 

Tamarugo

 

Tamarugo is a grass-roots copper porphyry target strategically located in northern Chile approximately 85 kilometres northeast of Copiapo and approximately 65 kilometres southwest of Codelco’s El Salvador Copper Mine. The Company owns a 100% interest in Tamarugo, which consists of claim blocks covering a total of approximately 12,300 hectares.

 

Other projects

 

Solaris has earn-in agreements on certain other projects including the Capricho and Paco Orco projects in Peru. The Capricho project is a 4,200-hectare copper-molybdenum-gold property. The Paco Orco project is a 4,400-hectare lead, zinc and silver property. Solaris is focused on obtaining surface access agreements with local landholders and communities for the purposes of permitting exploration programs at both Capricho and Paco Orco.

The decrease in exploration expenses to $8,025 and $20,384 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, from $14,384 and $24,577 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, was primarily related to the gradual reduction of the operations in the first quarter 2025 and no drilling activities in this second quarter of 2025. Also, there was a decrease in expenses at other projects.

 

Salaries, geological consulting and support, and travel costs were lower in Ecuador for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, due to the reduction of surface exploration (geochemical, supplies and rock dating) as the team focused on completing the PFS at Warintza. The decrease was also impacted by less catering services related to camps dismantling. There was also a reduction of ground transportation due to fewer internal mobilization (Quito-Macas-Quito) and lower helicopter costs attributed to a decrease in drilling activity.

 

The decrease in site preparation, supplies, field and general costs were lower primarily due to lower activity in the construction of the platforms budgeted. Also, lower supplies and materials for all the offices and core mining logistics, geological surveys and QCS and Kallpa personnel due to less drilling activities than budgeted.

 

Drilling and related costs at Warintza decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, due to the gradual reduction of the drilling activities.

 

Community relations, environmental and permitting costs increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to the higher community support payments made to the local communities with the signing of the updated IBA in April 2024 and all the studies and analysis required in order to obtain the advanced exploration environmental license.

Reclamation provision represents the estimated costs for restoration and rehabilitation for environmental disturbances at Warintza. The reclamation provision decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 due to the the impact of the change in cost estimates and the settlement of reclamation costs.

 

LOSS FROM OPERATIONS

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

 

The Company incurred exploration expenses of $8,850 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (June 30, 2024 – $14,384). The decrease is mainly attributable to lower drilling activities at Warintza in the first quarter of 2025.

 

The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $5,528 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (June 30, 2024 – $2,482). The increase is mainly due to a higher share-based compensation and higher professional fees related to the funding package with Royal Gold.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

 

The Company incurred exploration expenses of $21,167 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (June 30, 2024 – $24,577). The decrease is mainly attributable to lower exploration and drilling activities at Warintza.

 

The Company incurred general and administration expenses of $8,459 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (June 30, 2024 – $4,628). The increase is mainly due to higher share-based compensation and higher professional fees related to the funding package with Royal Gold.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

    June 30,
2025
    December 31,
2024
 
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 47,047     $ 31,738  
Prepaids and other     784       842  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities     6,833       12,839  
Other liability     248        
Lease liability – current     111       216  
Total current assets     47,831       32,580  
Total current liabilities   $ 6,944     $ 13,055  

 

Cash generated in operating activities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $84,713 and $67,190, respectively (June 30, 2024 – ($12,150) and ($22,378), respectively). As at June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and equivalents of $47,047. The increase of the cash inflows from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was mainly due to the receipt of the drawdown of the Senior Loan of $15,000 and in addition to that on May 21, 2025, the Company entered into a funding package with Royal Gold for the Warintza project. The total cash consideration under the Financing Agreements is $200,000, comprising a Stream and a Royalty. Royal Gold will pay Solaris a total cash consideration of $200,000 in three instalments as follows:

 

First tranche of $100,000 upon close of the transaction (funds received at closing which occurred concurrently with signing). $90,000 allocated to the Stream and $10,000 allocated to the Royalty;

 

Second tranche of $50,000 made available following the publication of the PFS and receipt of the technical approval of the EIA, which will be allocated to the Stream; and

 

Third tranche of $50,000 made available on the first anniversary of the closing date and completion of all filings necessary to fully perfect Royal Gold’s security, which will be allocated to the Stream.

 

The Company used the funds received from the Financing Agreement to repay the senior loan facility and accrued interest for a total amount of $67,257. The remaining funds will be utilised to complete technical studies, permitting activities, early infrastructure development, district exploration activities and general working capital requirements.

 

Stream Terms

 

Royal Gold will receive gold deliveries equivalent to 20 ounces per 1 million pounds of copper produced from the RGLD Gold AOI, which is expected to represent only a small percentage of the gold over the life of mine.

 

For each ounce of gold delivered under the Stream, Royal Gold will pay Solaris a purchase price equal to:

 

20% of spot price until 90,000 ounces have been delivered; and

 

60% of spot price thereafter.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)

 

 

Royalty Terms

 

Royal Gold will receive a 0.3% net smelter return royalty on all metal production from the RGLD Gold Expanded AOI

 

The Royalty will increase annually by 0.0375%, up to a maximum of 0.6%, until the earlier of:

 

the first delivery of gold under the Stream; or

 

eight years following the closing date.

 

If a change of control transaction occurs within five years of closing, or prior to the first delivery under the Stream (whichever is earlier), either party may elect to terminate the Stream and return all advance payments without penalty. Under a change of control, the Royalty would remain in place and, under certain circumstances, automatically increase to 0.6%.

 

The increase in cash outflows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, relates primarily to more purchases of equipment and infrastructure at Warintza compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

The Company does not generate operating cash flow from a producing mine and has incurred operating losses to date. Based on its current forecasted expenditures, the Company requires the additional financing from the second tranche of the Royal Gold funding package to fund ongoing operations for the next twelve months.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to a going concern, which assumes 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.

 

Management is committed to diligently managing its liquidity and capital resources, including prioritizing spending in the areas of the business with the highest impact, such as advancing the development of the Company’s Warintza Project. Should it be necessary, management has the ability to relatively quickly curtail cash outflows, including exploration expenditures, and to prudently manage the Company’s liquidity position to conserve cash resources.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful execution of its business plan, raising additional capital and/or evaluating strategic alternatives for its mineral property interests.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ. All estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about critical judgements and estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those described in the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Judgements and estimates that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:

 

a) Deferred revenue

 

Gold revenue subject to the streaming agreement

 

The Company recognized the advanced consideration as deferred revenue and will recognize the amounts in revenue as it satisfies its obligation to deliver gold to Royal Gold over the life of the contract.

 

The Company determines the amortization of deferred revenue to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss on a per unit basis. In streaming arrangements, the estimated total quantity of gold expected to be delivered to Royal Gold over the term of the contract is used. Subsequent changes to expected mine plan will result in an adjustment to revenue in the year of change and is prospectively adjusted for the quantity of gold expected to be delivered under the contract.

Solaris Resources Inc.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)

 

 

Where consideration is received in advance of the Company’s performance of its obligation, there is an inherent financing component in the transaction. When the period between the receipt of consideration and revenue recognition is greater than one year, the Company determines whether the financing component is significant to the contract.

 

Where a contract is determined to have a significant financing component, the transaction price is adjusted to reflect the financing. The discount rate used in adjusting the promised amount of consideration is the rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the Company and the customer at contract inception. This rate is not subsequently adjusted for any other changes over the contract term.

 

The accretion of the interest expense is recognized in the finance expense line in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

b) Sale of royalty interest

 

The Company records the proceeds from the sale of a royalty interest on a property against the value of the Exploration and Evaluation asset in the statement of financial position, with any excess once the value reaches $0 to be recognized as a gain in the statement of net loss. Refer to Notes 6 and 9 for details on the royalty agreement.

 

c) Accounting for streaming arrangements

 

Management has applied judgment in the assessment that the Stream (Note 9) constitutes a contract for the future sale of commodities to the counterparty. The contract will be settled through the delivery of commodity and in no event settled in cash except in the event of a change of control or exercise of the termination option. The deposit is therefore recorded as deferred revenue and is not a financial liability. Management assessed that the contract contained a significant financing component, which required making estimates, with information reasonably available to the parties at contract inception, of the quantity and the cash selling price of the promised goods to be delivered under the Stream in order to determine the implicit interest rate of the agreement. These estimates are subject to variability and may have an impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognized. Management exercised judgment in applying IFRS 15, as the treatment of the deposit given the contract liability is a key judgment and is based on the expected delivery of the Company’s future production.

 

d) Determination of functional currencies

 

The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The Company has determined the functional currency of Solaris is the Canadian dollar, and the functional currency of each subsidiary entity is the US dollar. Assessment of functional currency involves certain judgements to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.

 

e) Reclamation provision

 

The ultimate costs for reclamation and rehabilitation are uncertain, and cost estimates can vary in response to many factors, including estimates of the nature, extent and timing of rehabilitation activities, technological changes, regulatory changes, changes in inflation rates, the risk-free interest rate used for discounting future cash flows, foreign exchange rates, and estimates of the underlying currencies in which the provisions will ultimately be settled. The Company estimates its costs based on studies using current restoration standards and techniques, and the provision at the reporting date represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future rehabilitation costs required. Significant assumptions related to the reclamation provision are disclosed in Note 7 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)

 

 

f) Valuation of exploration and evaluation assets

 

The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets requires estimates in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Capitalized acquisition costs are assessed for impairment at least annually or when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. Judgement is required in determining whether indicators of impairment exist, including factors such as the period for which the Company has the right to explore, expected renewals of exploration rights, whether expenditures on further exploration and evaluation of resource properties are planned, results of exploration and evaluation activities on the exploration and evaluation assets and future commodity prices.

 

g) Share-based compensation

 

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that impact the value assigned to the stock options including the expected volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, the expected life of the stock options and the number of options expected to vest. The expected term of the options granted is determined based on historical data of the average hold period before exercise, cancellation or expiry. Expected volatility is estimated with reference to the historical volatility of the share price of a peer group of companies as applicable given the short period for which the Company’s shares have been publicly listed. Any changes in these assumptions could change the amount of share-based compensation recognized. Significant assumptions related to share-based payments are disclosed in Note 8 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

h) Going concern evaluation

 

As discussed in Note 1 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the assumptions applicable to a going concern. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the statement of financial position classifications used and such adjustments could be material. The Company reviews the going concern assessment at the end of each reporting period. The Company’s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern requires significant judgement about whether there are material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company must determine whether sufficient financing will be obtained in the near term.

 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK EXPOSURE AND RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management process.

 

a) Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s financial assets.

 

The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable. Credit risk exposure is limited through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. The carrying value of these financial assets of $47,788 represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)

 

 

b) Foreign currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to currency risk on transactions and balances in currencies other than the functional currency. At June 30, 2025, the Company had not entered into any contracts to manage foreign exchange risk.

 

The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar, therefore, the Company is exposed to currency risk from the assets and liabilities denominated in the US dollar. As at June 30, 2025, cash of $ 32,499 (December 31, 2024– $15,858), loans and borrowings of $0, (December 31, 2024 – $49,206, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $(86) (December 31, 2024 - $421) are denominated in the US dollar. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, if the US dollar to Canadian dollar currency exchange rate changes by 5% with all other variables held constant, the impact on the Company’s net gain would be $1,562 (six months ended June 30, 2024 – $352).

 

The Company is also exposed to currency risk on financial assets and liabilities denominated in Peruvian soles, Chilean pesos, Mexican pesos and Guatemalan quetzals. However, the impact on such exposure is not currently material.

 

c) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short term business requirements after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash (discussed in Note 1 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements). As at June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $47,047.

 

Capital management

 

The Company’s primary objective when managing capital is to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern and that it has the ability to satisfy its capital obligations and ongoing operational expenses, as well as having sufficient liquidity to fund suitable business opportunities as they arise.

 

The capital of the Company includes the components of deficit attributable to shareholders of the Company and loans and borrowings, net of cash and cash equivalents. Capital is summarized in the following table:

 

    June 30,
2025
    December 31,
2024
 
Deficit attributable to shareholders of the Company   $ (36,591 )   $ (17,201 )
Loans and borrowings           49,206  
      (36,591 )     32,005  
Less: Cash and cash equivalents     (47,047 )     (31,738 )
    $ (83,638 )   $ 267  

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it as necessary in light of economic conditions. In order to maintain the capital structure, the Company may, from time to time, issue or buy back equity, repay debt, or sell assets. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, intends to balance its overall capital structure through a combination of equity financing, debt and other forms of financing.

 

The Company did not have any externally imposed restrictions as at June 30, 2025. To effectively manage its capital requirements, the Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has appropriate liquidity to meet its business activities, including planned corporate expenditures, exploration expenses, as well as the development activities for the Warintza Project.

 

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

The risks related to Solaris’ business and those that are reasonable likely to affect the Company’s financial statements in the future, are described in the Company’s annual MD&A dated March 20, 2025, which is filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Additional risks include:

Royal Gold Financing Agreements

 

The Company’s indebtedness, including the Royal Gold Financing Agreements, could adversely affect its financial condition and prevent the Company from fulfilling its obligations under debt instruments. The Company is subject to restrictive covenants in the Royal Gold Financing Agreements that limit its ability to operate its business.

 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have designed or caused to be designed under their supervision the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) to provide reasonable assurance that material information regarding the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, in a timely manner. In addition, the CEO and CFO have designed or caused to be designed under their supervision internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements, as well as an evaluation on whether there were changes to its ICFR during most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.

 

The control framework used to design the Company’s ICFR is based on the 2013 control framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the DC&P have been designed effectively to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is made known to the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period in which the relevant annual filings are prepared and the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified. In addition, the ICFR has also been designed effectively to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements.

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives are met. Due to inherent limitations in all such systems, no evaluations of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company are detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, our DC&P and ICFR are effective in providing reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our control systems have been met.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings requires Canadian public companies to disclose any changes in ICFR during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, ICFR. No material changes were made to internal controls in the three months ended June 30, 2025.
