Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated, unaudited) |
1. Corporate information
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (the “Company") was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on May 12, 1998 and conducts mining exploration, development and production in the Americas. The address of the Company’s registered office is 145 King Street West, Suite 2870, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 1J8. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “USA” and on the New York Stock Exchange American under the symbol “USAS”.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 9, 2025.
2. Basis of presentation and going concern
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) which the Canadian Accounting Standards Board has approved for incorporation into Part 1 of the Handbook of Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were summarized in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and further updated in Note 3 of these financial statements, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due for the foreseeable future. The Company had a working capital deficit of $27.8 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $8.8 million as at March 31, 2025. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $18.9 million, including loss on metals contract liabilities of $9.0 million. At March 31, 2025, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity on hand to fund its operations for the next twelve months and will require further financing to meet its financial obligations and execute on its business plans at its mining operations.
Continuance as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to achieve profitable operations, obtain adequate equity or debt financing, or, alternatively, dispose of its non-core properties on an advantageous basis, among other things. Since 2020 to 2024, the Company was successful in raising funds through equity offerings, debt arrangements, convertible debentures, and registered shelf prospectuses. On December 19, 2024, the Company completed an acquisition of the remaining 40% non-controlling interests of the Company’s Galena Complex via an agreement dated October 9, 2024 with Mr. Eric Sprott, and closed a bought deal private placement of subscription receipts for gross proceeds of $50 million CAD or $35.1 million USD (see Note 14). As part of the agreement, the Company also closed additional non-brokered private placements for total gross proceeds of $6.9 million CAD or $5.0 million USD through total issuance of 16,650,000 of the Company’s common shares priced at approximately $0.42 CAD per share for bridge financing purposes. While it has been successful in the past in obtaining financing for its operations, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future. The ability to raise additional financing, to achieve cash flow positive production at the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex, allowing the Company to generate sufficient operating cash flows, are significant judgments in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
As a result, several material uncertainties cast substantial doubt upon the going concern assumption, including cash flow positive production at the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex, and ability to raise additional funds as necessary to fund these operations and meet obligations as they come due.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position classification that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
3. Changes in accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company amended the application of its accounting policy for share-settled restricted share units where each share-settled restricted share unit is equivalent in value to the fair market value of a common share of the Company on the date of grant with the value of each award charged to compensation expense over the period of vesting with corresponding increase in equity reserve upon recognition (see Note 14).
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. The following standards have been issued by the IASB:
| - | Amendments to IFRS 9 and 7 – Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments with mandatory application of the standard in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. |
| - | IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements with mandatory application of the standard in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. |
These standards are being assessed for their impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.
4. Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024, in addition to the significant judgments mentioned in Note 2.

Non-current assets are tested for impairment or impairment reversals when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairment or impairment reversal were identified for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 for each of the Company’s cash-generating unit, including non-producing properties and properties placed under care and maintenance.
The carrying amounts of mineral interests, plant and equipment, and right-of-use lease assets from the Relief Canyon Mine is approximately $16.1 million, $6.4 million, and $0.9 million, respectively, as at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: $16.0 million, $7.0 million, and $1.2 million, respectively).
The Company completed the acquisition of the San Felipe property located in Sonora, Mexico on October 8, 2020. As at March 31, 2025, the carrying amount of this property was $12.5 million included in non-producing properties.
8. Precious metals delivery and purchase agreement
On April 3, 2019, the Company entered into a $25 million precious metals delivery and purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”). The Company initially recorded the advances received on precious metals delivery, net of transaction costs, as deferred revenue though subsequently amended its treatment and recognized the fixed deliveries of precious metals as a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss.
On March 21, 2024, the Company amended its Purchase Agreement with Sandstorm for the right to increase its advance payment by $3.25 million per calendar quarter or up to $6.5 million in aggregate during the first half of 2024 in order to satisfy the gold delivery obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The advances are to be repaid through balancing fixed deliveries of gold commencing at the end of the existing agreement within the 6-month period from November 2026 to April 2027. The first and second calendar quarter advances of $3.25 million per quarter were drawn in full in March and June 2024, respectively.

On September 24, 2024, the Company amended its Purchase Agreement with Sandstorm for the right to increase its advance payment by approximately $4.0 million in aggregate during the third quarter of 2024 in order to satisfy the gold delivery obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The advance is to be repaid through balancing fixed deliveries of gold commencing at the end of the existing agreement within the 3-month period from May to July 2027. The advance of approximately $4.0 million was drawn in full in September 2024.
On December 19, 2024, the Company amended its Purchase Agreement with Sandstorm to deliver its remaining fixed ounces of gold over a quarterly fixed deliveries schedule with final delivery in December 2027. For each calendar quarter during the 36-month period ending in December 2027, the Company shall have the right for Sandstorm to subscribe common shares of the Company for proceeds up to a maximum of $1.9 million per calendar quarter to satisfy the gold delivery obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

9. Silver metals delivery agreement
On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into a silver metals delivery agreement with Mr. Eric Sprott for monthly purchases and deliveries of 18,500 ounces of silver for a period of 36 months starting in January 2026 (the “Silver Agreement”). The Company recognized the fixed deliveries of precious metals as a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss as the Company expects metal deliveries to Mr. Eric Sprott will be satisfied through external purchase of silver. A fair value of the metals contract liability of $19.8 million was determined at inception using forward commodity pricing curves at the end of the fiscal 2024. As part of the Silver Agreement, outstanding indebtedness of $1.4 million from Mr. Eric Sprott related to the original joint venture agreement (see Note 16) will be used to offset the metals contract liability commencing with the initial monthly delivery starting in January 2026. A $1.9 million loss to fair value on metals contract liability due to changes in forward commodity pricing curves was recorded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 (2024: nil).
10. Convertible debenture
On April 28, 2021, the Company issued a $12.5 million CAD convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”) due April 28, 2024 with interest payable at 8% per annum secured by the Company’s interest in the Galena Complex and by shares of one of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries.
The Convertible Debenture was: redeemable at the Company’s option to prepay the principal amount subject to payment of a redemption premium of 30% during the first year, 20% during the second year, and 10% during the third year prior to maturity (the “Redemption Option”); retractable at the holder’s option at a cumulative $0.3 million CAD per month starting in the second month from inception where the Company may settle the retraction amount through either cash or issuance of the Company’s common shares determined by dividing 95% of the 20 day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares (the “Retraction Option”); and convertible at the holder’s option into the Company’s common shares at a conversion price of $3.35 CAD (the “Conversion Option”).
Page | 8 |
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated, unaudited) |
The Company has since amended the Convertible Debenture multiple times resultantly increasing the principal balance to total outstanding principal, net of retractions, of $16.8 million CAD or $11.7 million USD as at December 31, 2024, retractable at the holder’s option at a cumulative $1.75 million CAD per month, and convertible at the holder’s option at a conversion price of $0.52 CAD.
The Convertible Debenture was fully converted by the holders as of January 31, 2025 at the conversion price of $0.52 CAD resulting in the issuance of 32,307,692 of the Company’s common shares.
The Company recognized a gain of $0.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 (2024: loss of $1.1 million) as a result of the change in the estimated fair value of the combined Redemption Option and Retraction Option.
11. Pre-payment facility
On December 12, 2022, the Company amended its existing unsecured offtake agreement with Ocean Partners USA, Inc. of lead concentrates produced from the Galena Complex to include a pre-payment facility of $3.0 million with an initial term of three years at an interest of U.S. SOFR rate plus 6.95% per annum (the “Facility”) to fund general working capital at the Galena Complex. Principal on the Facility is repaid through semi-monthly installments deductible from concentrate deliveries or paid in cash and can be redrawn on a revolving basis. The Facility shall automatically extend for a full calendar year if there is an outstanding payment balance within 12 months of the maturity of the Facility. The Facility was drawn in full in February 2025.
12. Credit facility
On August 14, 2024, the Company signed a credit and offtake agreement with Trafigura PTE Ltd. (“Trafigura”) for a secured credit facility of up to $15 million to complete initial development of the Zone 120 and El Cajón silver-copper project (“EC120”) (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is secured by share and asset pledges of all the Company’s material Mexican subsidiaries with the Company’s existing Convertible Debenture holders agreeing to subordinate existing security. The term of the Credit Facility is for a period of 36 months which includes a principal repayment grace period of 12 months, and bears interest of U.S. SOFR rate plus 6% per annum on cumulative drawings up to $12 million and 6.5% thereafter. The Credit Facility was drawn for $10.0 million in August 2024 and will be amortized in equal monthly installments of $0.6 million commencing after expiry of the grace period once the Credit Facility is drawn in full. The Company also entered into an offtake agreement with Trafigura for all the copper concentrates produced from EC120 where Trafigura will pay for the concentrates at the prevailing market prices for silver and copper, less customary treatment, refining and penalty charges.
13. Royalty payable
On April 12, 2023, the Company entered into a $4.0 million net smelter returns royalty agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) with Sandstorm to be repaid through a 2.5% royalty on attributable production from the Galena Complex and Cosalá Operations. The royalty reduces to 0.2% on attributable production from the Galena Complex and Cosalá Operations after the aggregate repayment of $4.0 million and may be eliminated thereafter with a buyout payment of $1.9 million.
On inception, the Royalty Agreement was classified as a hybrid instrument of host financial liability with embedded derivatives from the reduced 0.2% royalty on attributable production and buyout payment. The Company elected at inception to designate the entire hybrid instrument at fair value through profit or loss with its initial fair value be representative of the $4.0 million in proceeds received. Subsequent measurement of fair value for the hybrid instrument was determined based on an income approach of expected future cash flows into a single current discounted amount. Key assumptions used in the fair value determination of the hybrid instrument as at December 31, 2023 include timing of repayment of the $4.0 million, which considers factors such as forecasted production and commodity prices in quantifying expected net smelter returns, feasibility of the reduced 0.2% royalty on attributable production versus the buyout payment, and applicable discount rates. The Company recognized a loss of $0.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 (2024: $0.3 million) as a result of the change in the estimated fair value of the Royalty Agreement.

14. Share capital
On March 27, 2024, the Company completed an equity offering of 26,000,000 units at a price of $0.30 CAD per unit for total gross proceeds of $5.8 million. Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant where each warrant is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $0.40 CAD for a period of three years starting March 27, 2024. As part of the equity offering, approximately $0.8 million in transaction costs were incurred and offset against share capital, and 150,000 common shares and 1,510,020 warrants for approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were issued to the Company’s advisors and offset against share capital where each warrant is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $0.30 CAD for a period of two years starting March 27, 2024.
On December 19, 2024, the Company completed an acquisition of the remaining 40% non-controlling interests of the Company’s Galena Complex in exchange for issuance of 170,000,000 of the Company’s common shares, and $10 million in cash, plus monthly deliveries of 18,500 ounces of silver for a period of 36 months starting in January 2026 (see Note 9). The Company also completed a concurrent bought deal private placement of subscription receipts raising gross proceeds of $50 million CAD or $35.1 million USD at an issue price of $0.40 CAD per subscription receipt resulting from total issuance of 125,000,000 of the Company’s common shares.
During fiscal 2024, the Company closed non-brokered private placements for total gross proceeds of $9.4 million through total issuance of 28,112,615 of the Company’s common shares priced at approximately $0.47 CAD per share.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company closed non-brokered private placements for total gross proceeds of $3.6 million through total issuance of 7,174,558 of the Company’s common shares priced at approximately $0.71 CAD per share. As part of the non-brokered private placements, 2,610,000 warrants for approximately $0.6 million were issued and offset against share capital where each warrant is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $1.00 CAD for a period of three years starting March 31, 2025.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company settled $1.4 million of transaction-related payables through issuance of 2,906,504 of the Company’s common shares.

Each non-voting preferred share is convertible, at the holder’s option, without payment of any additional consideration by the holder thereof, initially on a one-to-one basis into common shares, subject to adjustment, and in accordance with the terms of the non-voting preferred shares.
b. Stock option plan
The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s stock option plan is limited to 10% of the number of common shares which are issued and outstanding on the date of a particular grant of options. Under the plan, the Board of Directors determines the term of a stock option to a maximum of 10 years, the period of time during which the options may vest and become exercisable as well as the option exercise price which shall not be less than the closing price of the Company’s share on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the date immediately preceding the date of grant. The Compensation Committee determines and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors as to the recipients of, and nature and size of, share-based compensation awards in compliance with applicable securities law, stock exchange and other regulatory requirements.

e. Restricted share units:
The Company has a Restricted Share Unit Plan under which eligible directors, officers and key employees of the Company are entitled to receive awards of restricted share units settled in either cash or common shares at the Company’s discretion. Each restricted share unit is equivalent in value to the fair market value of a common share of the Company on the date of grant with the value of each award charged to compensation expense over the period of vesting. The Company recognizes a corresponding increase in trade and other payables upon recognition of cash-settled restricted share units, and a corresponding increase in equity reserve upon recognition of share-settled restricted share units (see Note 3). For cash-settled restricted share units, the compensation expense and associated liability are adjusted at each reporting date to reflect changes in market value. As at March 31, 2025, 234,076 (December 31, 2024: 234,076) cash-settled restricted share units are outstanding at an aggregate value of $0.1 million (December 31, 2024: $0.1 million) which is included in trade and other payables in the consolidated statement of financial position. As at March 31, 2025, 20,400,000 (December 31, 2024: nil) share-settled restricted share units are outstanding which are included in equity reserve in the consolidated statement of financial position.

f. Deferred Share Units:
The Company has a Deferred Share Unit Plan under which eligible directors of the Company receive awards of deferred share units on a quarterly basis as payment for 50% to 100% of their director fees earned. Deferred share units are settled in either cash or common shares at the Company’s discretion when the director leaves the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company recognizes a cost in director fees and a corresponding increase in equity reserve upon issuance of deferred share units. As at March 31, 2025, 7,806,408 (December 31, 2024: 3,562,917) deferred share units are issued and outstanding.

16. Non-controlling interests
The Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Mr. Eric Sprott effective October 1, 2019 for 40% non-controlling interests of the Company’s Galena Complex with initial contribution of $15 million to fund capital improvements and operations.
The Company recognized non-controlling interests of $14.3 million equal to the proportionate non-controlling interests’ carrying amount of the Galena Complex at initial recognition classified as a separate component of equity. Subsequent contributions and proportionate share changes in equity are recognized to the carrying amount of the non-controlling interests.
On December 19, 2024, the Company completed an acquisition of the remaining 40% non-controlling interests of the Company’s Galena Complex. The $18.3 million proportionate non-controlling interests’ carrying amount prior to the change in ownership was derecognized from the consolidated financial statements upon completion of the acquisition.

21. Financial risk management
a. Financial risk factors
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on its financial instruments are summarized below:
(i) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the Company invests its cash in deposits with well-capitalized financial institutions with strong credit ratings in Canada and the United States. Under current concentrate offtake agreements, risk on trade receivables related to concentrate sales is managed by receiving payments for 85% to 100% of the estimated value of the concentrate within one month following the time of shipment.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s exposure to credit risk with respect to trade receivables amounts to $5.7 million (December 31, 2024: $3.6 million). The Company believes credit risk is not significant and there was no significant change to the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses as at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company’s liquidity requirements are met through a variety of sources, including cash, cash generated from operations, credit facilities and debt and equity capital markets. The Company’s trade payables have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

(iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk.
(1)Interest rate risk
The Company is subject to interest rate risk of the 3 months U.S. LIBOR rate plus 7.2% per annum from Cosalá Operations’ advance payments of concentrate, and the 3 month U.S. SOFR rate plus 6.95% per annum from the Facility. Interest rates of other financial instruments are fixed.
(2)Currency risk
As at March 31 2025, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through financial assets and liabilities denominated in CAD and MXN:
Financial instruments that may impact the Company’s net loss or other comprehensive loss due to currency fluctuations include CAD and MXN denominated assets and liabilities which are included in the following table:

The Company may, from time to time, employ derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
As at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company does not have any non-hedge foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not settle any non-hedge foreign exchange forward contracts
(3) Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments in the market. As at March 31, 2025 the Company had certain amounts related to the sales of concentrates that have only been provisionally priced. A ±10% fluctuation in silver, zinc, lead, and gold prices would affect trade receivables by approximately $0.6 million (December 31, 2024: $0.4 million).
As at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company does not have any non-hedge commodity forward contracts outstanding. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not settle any non-hedge commodity forward contracts.
Net amount of gain or loss on derivative instruments from non-hedge foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts recognized through profit or loss during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 was nil (2024: nil). Total amount of gain or loss on derivative instruments including those recognized through profit or loss from the Company’s convertible debenture during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 was a gain of $0.7 million (2024: loss of $1.1 million).
b. Fair values
The fair value of cash, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, and other financial assets and liabilities listed below approximate their carrying amounts mainly due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are as follows:
| · | Cash and cash equivalents: The fair value of cash equivalents is valued using quoted market prices in active markets. |
| · | Trade and other receivables: The fair value of trade receivables from silver sales contracts that contain provisional pricing terms is determined using the appropriate quoted forward price from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular metal. As such, there is an embedded derivative feature within trade receivables. |
| · | Metals contract liabilities: Fixed and variable deliveries of precious metals are classified and measured as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss determined using forward commodity pricing curves at end of the reporting period. |
| · | Pre-payment and credit facilities, convertible debenture, and promissory notes: The principal portion of pre-payment and credit facilities, convertible debenture, and promissory notes are initially measured at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost. |
| · | Royalty payable: The financial liability is measured at fair value through profit or loss determined using discounted cash flows of expected future royalty payments at end of the reporting period. |
Page | 19 |
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated, unaudited) |
| · | Embedded derivatives: Revenues from the sale of metals produced from silver sales contracts since the commencement of commercial production are based on provisional prices at the time of shipment. Variations between the price recorded at the time of sale and the actual final price received from the customer are caused by changes in market prices for metals sold and result in an embedded derivative in revenues and accounts receivable. |
| · | Derivatives: The Company uses derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage financial risks, including commodity, interest rate, and foreign exchange risks. The use of derivative contracts is governed by documented risk management policies and approved limits. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and at market prices at the valuation date. |
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value:
| · | Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. |
| · | Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |

c. Major customers
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold concentrates and finished goods to two major customers accounting for 50% of revenues from Cosalá Operations and 40% of revenues from Galena Complex (2024: two major customers accounting for 59% of revenues from Cosalá Operations and 41% of revenues from Galena Complex).
23. Contingencies
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
In November 2010, the Company received a reassessment from the Mexican tax authorities related to its Mexican subsidiary, Minera Cosalá, for the year ended December 31, 2007. The tax authorities disallowed the deduction of transactions with certain suppliers for an amount of approximately $9.7 million (MXN 196.8 million), of which $4.2 million (MXN 84.4 million) would be applied against available tax losses. The Company appealed this reassessment and the Mexican tax authorities subsequently reversed $4.7 million (MXN 94.6 million) of their original reassessment. The remaining $5.0 million (MXN 102.2 million) consists of $4.2 million (MXN 84.4 million) related to transactions with certain suppliers and $0.9 million (MXN 17.8 million) of value added taxes thereon. The Company appealed the remaining reassessment with the Mexican Tax Court in December 2011. The Company may be required to post a bond of approximately $0.9 million (MXN 17.8 million) to secure the value added tax portion of the reassessment. The deductions of $4.2 million (MXN 84.4 million), if denied, would be offset by available tax losses. The Company accrued $1.0 million (MXN 19.9 million) in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2018 as a probable obligation for the disallowance of value added taxes related to the Mexican tax reassessment. As at March 31, 2025, the accrued liability of the probable obligation from the ongoing appeal was $1.0 million (December 31, 2024: $1.0 million).

Recent Developments and Operational Discussion
Q1-2025 Highlights
| · | Increase in revenue1 due to higher realized prices. Revenue increased to $23.5 million for Q1-2025 or 12% compared to $20.9 million for Q1-2024, with a higher realized silver price2 of $32.10/oz and a realized zinc price2 of $1.27/lb during the period. |
| o | Consolidated silver production of 446,000 ounces with approximately 838,000 ounces of silver equivalent2, including 6.7 million pounds of zinc and 3.8 million pounds of lead |
| · | Silver production is expected to increase steadily in fiscal 2025 as the development into EC120 Project progresses and mine continues to batch higher development grade ore through the mill, and operational improvements and efficiencies are realized at the Galena Complex. |
| o | Pre-production sales of EC120 silver-copper concentrate contributed $2.3 million to revenue during Q1-2025. |
| ·
| Inclusion in the Solactive Global Silver Miners Index on May 1, 2025. Inclusion in this major silver index is an important milestone validating Americas position as a growing silver focused miner and increases exposure to large institutional investors. |
| · | Significant progress has been made since the December transaction identifying opportunities and initiating action at the Galena Complex, including initiating capital orders for the #3 shaft upgrade, and the receipt of new mining equipment to boost productivity underground, among other actions. |
| · | Total liabilities have been reduced by approximately $34 million since the transaction close, primarily due to the repayments of metal liabilities, royalties, promissory notes, and transaction-related payables, and the full conversion of the Company’s convertible debenture. |
| · | Cost of sales1,2 per silver equivalent ounce produced, cash costs2 and all-in sustaining costs2 per silver ounce produced averaged $25.23, $25.04 and $35.67, respectively, in Q1-2025. |
| · | Net loss of $18.9 million for Q1-2025 (Q1-2024 net loss of $16.2 million), primarily due to the increasing precious metal prices on metals-based liabilities, and higher corporate general and administrative expenses, offset in part by higher net revenue, lower care and maintenance costs, higher foreign exchange gain, gain on disposal of assets, and a gain on derivatives. |
| · | Adjusted earnings2 for Q1-2025 was a loss of $11.5 million (adjusted loss of $10.5 million for Q1-2024) primarily due to lower production and higher corporate general and administrative expenses offset by higher net revenue. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA2 for Q1-2025 was a loss of $5.5 million (adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.3 million for Q1-2024) primarily due to higher corporate general and administrative expenses offset by higher net revenue. |
| · | Cash and cash equivalents balance of $8.8 million and working capital2 deficit of $27.8 million as at March 31, 2025. |

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2025 |
Acquisition Agreement
On December 19, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 40% non-controlling interests of the Company’s Galena Complex pursuant an agreement dated October 9, 2024 with Sprott. Mr. Paul Andre Huet was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective November 11, 2024 and Chairman of the Board of Directors following the close the transaction. Mr. Huet is focused on building a strong, experienced technical team to unlock the dormant value of the Galena Complex in pursuit of increased shareholder returns.
Following the close of the acquisition on December 19, 2024, significant progress has been made in identifying opportunities and initiating action as part of the Company’s technical review and optimization work to ensure that the Galena Complex reaches its full production potential, underscoring the Company's ongoing commitment to operational efficiency, safety, production growth, and maximizing value from existing assets. This progress includes initial work on the #3 shaft, a trade-off study currently underway at the mine, and new mining equipment to boost productivity underground, among other actions. The Company has released new drilling results that continue to demonstrate the geologic prospectivity of the deposit and identify new veins that could be brought into production with further drilling. The Company also initiated further test work to evaluate the potential to maximize recoveries of copper and antimony as a result of an initial review of byproduct metallurgical performance.
Metal Prices
Precious and base metals prices continued to increase during the Q1-2025 as investors adjusted capital flows and allocations in response to the monetary and fiscal policy plans of the new US administration, international trade tariff discussions, and recession and inflation expectations, among other macroeconomic events. The market price of silver increased by 37% year-over-year to average price of $31.91/oz in Q1-2025 compared to an average price of $23.36/oz in Q1-2024. The market price of copper and zinc also increased by 11% and 16%, respectively, year-over-year to average price of $4.24/lb and $1.29/lb, respectively, in Q1-2025 compared to an average price of $3.83/lb and $1.11/lb, respectively, in Q1-2024. The Company is dependant on both precious and base metal prices for profitability and liquidity.
In addition, the Company is benefiting from the USD/MXN exchange ratio increasing to above 21:1 during Q1-2025 from a low of approximately 16.5:1 during Q1-2024. The Company believes it is well positioned to significantly increase revenue for 2025 and beyond, supported by its planned growth in silver production at both of its producing operations and the assumption that market prices for silver, zinc, and copper remain at or above current levels.
Galena Complex
The Galena Complex produced approximately 314,000 ounces of silver in Q1-2025 compared to approximately 311,000 ounces of silver in Q1-2024 (a 1% increase in silver production), despite a 14-day shutdown for planned maintenance on the Coeur Hoist motor. The mine also produced 2.2 million pounds of lead in Q1-2025, compared to 1.9 million pounds of lead in Q1-2024 (a 17% increase in lead production). Cash costs per ounce of silver increased to $28.08 in Q1-2025 from $27.14 in Q1-2024, primarily due to a modest increases in salaries and employee benefits at the operations.
Despite it being early in the planned growth transition at Galena, development work in Q1-2025 met its planned targets, with major progress made on the 55-179 decline and supporting infrastructure. Notably, development costs came in below expectations on a per-foot basis. The 55-179 decline provided access to multiple high-grade silver-copper zones, including the 55-198 stope on the Silver Hanging Wall Vein — a key contributor to production during the quarter. Work also advanced on two major infrastructure projects to support operations in this area. These included completing excavations for two new 300-ton ore transfer points on the 5500 level to accommodate larger 20-ton haul trucks, as well as successfully completing a new ventilation and escape raise. In addition, development began on two horizontal drifts that will lead to the installation of two Alimak raises. One of these will improve ventilation and emergency access for deeper development of the 55-179 decline, while the other will serve as a new transfer raise to support future mining of high-grade silver-lead and silver-copper zones in the Central and Lower Country Lead areas.

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2025 |
Diamond drilling on the property has continued since the last mineral resource update and the Company has initiated the process of updating the mineral resources and reserves for the Galena Complex later this year.
Galena Exploration Update
Recent exploration diamond drilling from the 5200 Level of the Galena Mine has defined a new silver-copper vein adjacent to existing infrastructure, presenting a near-term mining opportunity for Galena. The 034 Vein was initially crosscut and drifted on from the 5200 Level. An exploration drill plan was designed, and 23 additional diamond drill holes ("DDH") were drilled to complete latest phase of the program. The drill campaign has yielded significant high-grade intercepts, including a highlight of 983 g/t silver over 3.44 metres (hole DDH 52-583, true width), demonstrating the potential of the 034 Vein. Key intercepts from the campaign, reported with true widths, are listed below:
| · | DDH 52-529: 1,624 g/t Ag and 1.23% Cu over 0.53 m |
| · | DDH 52-532: 1,171 g/t Ag and 0.80% Cu over 1.46 m |
| · | DDH 52-583: 983 g/t Ag and 0.74% Cu over 3.44 m |
| · | DDH 52-531: 734 g/t Ag and 0.90% Cu over 0.87 m |
| · | DDH 52-587: 539 g/t Ag and 1.07% Cu over 1.69 m |
| · | DDH 52-534: 466 g/t Ag and 0.49% Cu over 0.47 m |
| · | DDH 52-584: 354 g/t Ag and 0.43% Cu over 2.15 m |
A full table of the Company’s latest published drill results can be found at: https://americas-gold.com/site/assets/files/4297/dr20250422.pdf.
The drilling contract to infill existing wide-spaced drilling at the Coeur mine has been awarded. Drilling is scheduled to begin in early May, targeting three veins below the 3400 Level. The Coeur mine, developed down to the 3700 Level, has seen limited mining despite wide-spaced drilling that has intersected significant silver and copper mineralization in veins 356, 400, and 425. The four primary copper-silver veins at the Coeur mine remain open at depth, highlighting the potential for future resource growth. Key historical intercepts, reported with true widths, include:
| · | DDH C034-113 (Vein 400): 4,131 g/t Ag and 5.0% Cu over 0.32 m |
| · | DDH C037-039 (Vein 356): 1,982 g/t Ag and 3.2% Cu over 1.37 m |
| · | DDH C034-090 (Vein 425): 1,179 g/t Ag and 0.9% Cu over 1.18 m |
| · | DDH C034-127 (Vein 425): 1,001 g/t Ag and 1.1% Cu over 0.73 m |
| · | DDH C034-130 (Vein 400): 993 g/t Ag and 1.1% Cu over 1.2 m |
| · | DDH C034-117 (Vein 400): 903 g/t Ag and 1.0% Cu over 2.54 m |

Cosalá Operations
The Cosalá Operations are transitioning from the zinc-lead-silver San Rafael mine to the higher-grade silver-copper EC120 Project in fiscal 2025. The Company expects to continue to operate San Rafael throughout the EC120 Project development period and maximize cash flow by prioritizing the highest NSR ore through the mill as it develops sufficient working faces in the EC120 Project to reach commercial production by the end of 2025. During the quarter, mining took place in moderately lower silver grade areas of the San Rafael mine while capital development focused on the EC120 Project as well as development into a higher-grade silver level of the San Rafael Upper Zone. Silver grade processed is expected to increase quarter over quarter to EC120 resource grades as the proportion of EC120 production increases.
Development of the EC120 Project’s El Cajón mine began in late Q4-2024 and is being carried out by an external contractor with development rates increasing steadily through the quarter and are currently near expected levels. The EC120 Project’s Zone 120 development was slightly impacted by a delay in the arrival of the raise-bore machine required to complete a critical ventilation raise into the zone. As a result, the raise began drilling in mid-March and broke through in late April (currently being completed). Intermittent regional security disruptions in nearby areas also caused delays in contractor start-ups as well as receiving critical parts and supplies in Q1-2025. These concerns also impacted mill operations on isolated occasions in January and February with a resulting impact on milled tonnage, although a return to normal steady state milled throughput was achieved in March and April.
Silver production decreased in Q1-2025 by 55% to approximately 132,000 ounces of silver compared to approximately 297,000 ounces of silver in Q1-2024 primarily due to slightly lower tonnages, and lower grades and recoveries as development delays caused a higher portion of the mill feed to come from the San Rafael Main Central orebody which has lower grade and silver recoveries based on its minerology. Lower milled tonnage also caused base metals production to decrease to 6.7 million pounds of zinc and 1.6 million pounds of lead in Q1-2025, compared to 8.0 million pounds of zinc, and 2.8 million pounds of lead in Q1-2024. Silver production is expected to increase steadily as the development into EC120 Project progresses and mine continues to batch higher development grade ore through the mill.
The Cosalá Operations increased capital spend on the EC120 Project, incurring $1.0 million during Q1-2025. The EC120 Project contributed approximately 59,000 ounces of silver production in Q1-2025, 164,000 ounces of silver production project-to-date, as the Cosalá Operations milled and sold silver-copper concentrate during the EC120 Project’s development phase contributing $2.3 million to net revenue during Q1-2025. Cash costs per silver ounce increased during Q1-2025 to $19.86 per ounce from $16.44 per ounce in Q1-2024 due primarily to decreased silver production during the period.
Other Items During Fiscal 2025
Since the close to the December transaction, the Company has been strengthening its financial position with total liabilities reduced by approximately $34 million, primarily due to the repayments of metal liabilities, royalties, promissory notes, and transaction-related payables. The holders of the Company’s convertible debenture also converted their outstanding principal of $16.8 million CAD into the Company’s common shares during Q1-2025.

Consolidated silver production of 446,000 ounces during Q1-2025 was lower than Q1-2024 production of 484,000 ounces due to the previously noted impacts to tonnage at both operations and San Rafael’s slightly lower grades and recoveries. Lower tons mined also impacted zinc and lead production at both operations.
Revenue of $23.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was higher than revenue of $20.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting from higher realized silver and zinc prices, including pre-production revenue from the EC120 Project of $2.3 million during the period. The average realized silver and zinc prices3 increased by 38% and 14%, respectively, from Q1-2024 to Q1-2025, while the average realized lead price4 decreased by 4% during the same period. The average realized silver price of $32.10/oz for Q1-2025 (Q1-2024 – $23.21/oz) is comparable to the average London silver spot price of $31.91/oz for Q1-2025 (Q1-2024 – $23.36/oz).
The Company recorded a net loss of $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a net loss of $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net loss was higher primarily due to the impact of the gold price on metals contract liabilities, and higher non-cash corporate expenses, offset in part by higher net revenue, lower care and maintenance costs, higher foreign exchange gain, gain on disposal of assets, and higher gain on derivatives. These variances are further discussed in the following sections.

The Galena Complex produced approximately 314,000 ounces of silver in Q1-2025 compared to approximately 311,000 ounces of silver in Q1-2024 (a 1% increase in silver production), despite a 14-day shutdown for planned maintenance on the Coeur Hoist motor. The mine also produced 2.2 million pounds of lead in Q1-2025, compared to 1.9 million pounds of lead in Q1-2024 (a 17% increase in lead production). Cash costs per ounce of silver increased to $28.08 in Q1-2025 from $27.14 in Q1-2024, primarily due to a modest increases in salaries and employee benefits at the operations.
Despite it being early in the planned growth transition at Galena, development work in Q1-2025 met its planned targets, with major progress made on the 55-179 decline and supporting infrastructure. Notably, development costs came in below expectations on a per-foot basis. The 55-179 decline provided access to multiple high-grade silver-copper zones, including the 55-198 stope on the Silver Hanging Wall Vein — a key contributor to production during the quarter. Work also advanced on two major infrastructure projects to support operations in this area. These included completing excavations for two new 300-ton ore transfer points on the 5500 level to accommodate larger 20-ton haul trucks, as well as successfully completing a new ventilation and escape raise. In addition, development began on two horizontal drifts that will lead to the installation of two Alimak raises. One of these will improve ventilation and emergency access for deeper development of the 55-179 decline, while the other will serve as a new transfer raise to support future mining of high-grade silver-lead and silver-copper zones in the Central and Lower Country Lead areas.

Results of Operations
Analysis of the three months ended March 31, 2025 vs. the three months ended March 31, 2024
The Company recorded a net loss of $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a net loss of $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to increase in gold prices on the Company’s metals contract liabilities ($6.0 million), and higher non-cash corporate expenses ($4.8 million), offset in part by higher net revenue ($2.6 million), lower care and maintenance costs ($1.3 million), higher foreign exchange gain ($1.3 million), gain on disposal of assets ($1.0 million), and higher gain on derivatives ($1.8 million), each of which are described in more detail below.
Revenue increased by $2.6 million to $23.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $20.9 million December 31, 2024. The increase was due to $3.7 million higher revenue at the Galena Complex from higher silver realized price during the period and higher lead revenue from higher lead production during the period. Revenue at the Cosalá Operations decreased by $1.0 million during the period mainly due to lower silver revenue from lower silver production during the period for the previously noted reasons, offset by higher zinc realized price and higher zinc revenue, and EC120 Project pre-production revenue.
Care and maintenance costs decreased by $1.3 million mainly due to $0.5 million of prior period Relief Canyon surety premium refund and $0.3 million of prior period Relief Canyon refundable tax credits recognized during the period.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $4.8 million mainly due to the growth of the Company’s new management team, plus deferred non-cash share-based compensation in the form of deferred share units and restricted share units issued during the period.
Foreign exchange gain increased by $1.3 million to a $0.2 million gain for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from a $1.1 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 mainly due to material changes in foreign exchange rates during the period impacting valuation of non-functional currency instruments from the Company’s Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries.
Gain on disposal of assets of $1.0 million was recognized from proceeds received on sale of dormant equipment at Relief Canyon during the period.
Loss on fair value of metals contract liabilities increased by $6.0 million to a $9.0 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from a $3.0 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 mainly due to the impact of the increased gold price on metals contract liabilities during the period.
Other gain on derivatives increased by $1.8 million to a $0.7 million gain for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from a $1.1 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 mainly due to derecognition of derivative instruments from full conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible debenture during the period.

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2025 |
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance decreased from $20.0 million to $8.8 million since December 31, 2024 with a working capital deficit of $28.0 million. This decrease was mainly due to expenditures on property, plant and equipment, and metals contract liabilities. These outflows were mainly offset by non-brokered private placements and proceeds from exercise of options and warrants. Current liabilities as at March 31, 2025 were $57.5 million which is $11.9 million lower than at December 31, 2024, principally due to decreased balances in transaction-related trade and other payables and conversion the Company’s outstanding convertible debenture.
The Company operates in a cyclical industry where cash flow has historically been correlated to market prices for commodities. Several material uncertainties cast substantial doubt upon the going concern assumption, including cash flow positive production at the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex, and ability to raise additional funds as necessary to fund these operations and meet obligations as they come due. The Company’s cash flow is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, obtain adequate equity or debt financing, or, alternatively, dispose of its non-core properties on an advantageous basis to fund its near-term operations, development and exploration plans, while meeting production targets at current commodity price levels.
Management evaluates viable financing alternatives to ensure sufficient liquidity including debt instruments, concentrate offtake agreements, sale of non-core assets, private equity financing, sale of royalties on its properties, metal prepayment and streaming arrangements, and the issuance of equity. Several material uncertainties may impact the Company’s liquidity in the short term, such as: the price of commodities, general inflationary pressures, cash flow positive production at both the Company’s operating mines, the timing of the Galena shaft repair, and the expected increase in the Galena hoisting capacity. At March 31, 2025, the Company did not have sufficient liquidity on hand to fund its expected operations at the prevailing commodity prices for the next twelve months and will require further financing to meet its financial obligations and execute on its planned operations. The Company is currently in advanced discussions with a counterparty to provide additional debt funding to fund its mine optimizing capital, development, and infill drilling expenses at the Galena Complex and further restructure its existing debt.
From 2020 to 2024, the Company has been successful in raising funds through equity offerings (including bought deals and at-the-market offerings), debt arrangements, convertible debentures, prepayment arrangements, royalty sales, and non-core asset sales. The Company issued an aggregate of C$35.8 million in convertible debentures, raised an aggregate of $44.4 million through an at-the-market equity offering on the New York Stock Exchange American to fund the Company’s planned operations, amended its existing precious metals delivery and purchase agreement for the right to increase its advance payment up to $11.0 million during fiscal 2023 to satisfy current gold delivery obligations with draws made during each quarter of fiscal 2023 as allowed under the amendment, entered into a pre-payment facility, restructured a promissory note, and believes it will be able to raise additional financing as needed.
During 2024, the Company amended its existing precious metals delivery and purchase agreement for the right to increase its advance payment up to $10.5 million during 2024 and fully drew the advance under the agreement during the period and closed an equity offering for gross proceeds of C$7.8 million in March 2024. In August 2024, the Company signed the $15 million Credit Agreement with Trafigura for the capital requirements of the EC120 Project with an initial draw of $10 million under the facility. In December 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 40% interest of the Galena Complex and closed non-brokered private placements for total gross proceeds of $6.9 million CAD for bridge financing purposes, and a concurrent financing through bought deal private placement for gross proceeds of C$50 million. A portion of these funds were used to reduce the Company’s liabilities following the placement.
In the medium term, as the Cosalá Operations sustain full production, the optimization of the No. 3 shaft is completed allowing for greater hoisting capacity of ore and waste, the EC120 Project reaches commercial production, and the new Galena Complex strategy is executed in line with new plans currently being developed, along with positive metal prices, the Company believes that cash flow will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables, restricted cash, trade and other payables, and other long-term liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. The Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risk arising from financial instruments. The majority of the funds of the Company are held in accounts at major banks in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The following table sets out the disclosure the Company previously made about how it would use available funds or proceeds from any financing in the past 12 months, an explanation of any variances, and the impact of the variances, if any, on the Company’s ability to achieve its business objectives and milestones.

C$0.5 million June 2024 non-brokered private placements of common shares | For precious metals delivery commitments and general working capital purposes |
Post-Employment Benefit Obligations
The Company’s liquidity has been, and will continue to be, impacted by pension funding commitments as required by the terms of the defined benefit pension plans offered to both its hourly and salaried workers at the Galena Complex (see Note 17 in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024). Both pension plans are under-funded due to actuarial losses incurred from market conditions and changes in discount rates; the Company intends to fund to the minimum levels required by applicable law. The Company currently estimates total annual funding requirements for both Galena Complex pension plans to be approximately $1.3 million per year for each of the next 5 years (excluding fiscal 2024 funding requirements payable by September 2025). Effects from market volatility and interest rates may impact long term annual funding commitments.
The Company evaluates the pension funding status on an annual basis in order to update all material information in its assessment, including updated mortality rates, investment performance, discount rates, contribution status among other information. The pension valuation was remeasured at the end of Q1-2025 and adjusted by approximately $0.7 million as a result of decrease in discount rate and unrealized losses on returns. The Company expects to continue to review the pension valuation quarterly.

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2025 |
Capital Resources
The Company’s cash flow is dependent on delivery of its metal concentrates to market. The Company’s contracts with the concentrate purchasers provide for provisional payments based on timing of concentrate deliveries. The Company has not had any problems collecting payments from concentrate purchasers in a reliable and timely manner and expects no such difficulties in the foreseeable future. However, cash flow is dependent on continued mine production which can be subject to interruption for various reasons including fluctuations in metal prices and concentrate shipment difficulties, and, in the case of Relief Canyon, the suspension of mining operations. Additionally, unforeseen cessation in the counterparty’s capabilities could severely impact the Company’s capital resources.
The Company made capital expenditures of $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (2024: $4.8 million). Money was mostly spent on development work associated with the Galena Complex.
The following table sets out the Company’s contractual obligations as of March 31, 2025 (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

Risk Factors
The business of the Company is subject to a substantial number of risks and uncertainties. In addition to considering the information disclosed in the forward-looking statements, financial statements and the other publicly filed documentation regarding the Company available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, and on the Company’s website at www.americas-gold.com, the reader should carefully consider each of, and the cumulative effect of, the risk factors relating to the Company found under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2025 or the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024 dated March 27, 2025. Any of these risk elements could have material adverse effects on the business of the Company. See Note 27 – Financial risk management of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and Note 21 – Financial risk management of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 contain going concern disclosure
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 contain disclosure related to several material uncertainties casting substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital, achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations, and obtain the necessary financing to meet obligations and repay liabilities when they become due. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals. If the Company is unable to achieve these goals, its ability to carry out and implement planned business objectives and strategies will be significantly delayed, limited or may not occur. The Company’s financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. There are no guarantees that access to equity and debt capital from public and private markets in Canada or the U.S. will be available to the Company.
Accounting Standards and Pronouncements
Accounting standards issued but not yet applied
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company amended the application of its accounting policy for share-settled restricted share units where each share-settled restricted share unit is equivalent in value to the fair market value of a common share of the Company on the date of grant with the value of each award charged to compensation expense over the period of vesting with corresponding increase in equity reserve upon recognition.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. The following standards have been issued by the IASB:
| - | Amendments to IFRS 9 and 7 – Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments with mandatory application of the standard in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. |
| - | IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements with mandatory application of the standard in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. |
These standards are being assessed for their impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.

Financial Instruments
The Company may, from time to time, employ derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.
As at March 31, 2025, the Company does not have any non-hedge foreign exchange or commodity forward contracts outstanding.
Capital Structure
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common and preferred shares, where each common share provides the holder with one vote while preferred shares are non-voting. As at March 31, 2025, there were 649,092,939 common shares and nil preferred shares issued and outstanding.
As at May 9, 2025, there were 652,356,884 common shares and nil preferred shares issued and outstanding, and 25,526,666 options outstanding which are exchangeable in common shares of the Company. The number of common shares issuable on the exercise of warrants is 23,910,100. The increase in the common shares between March 31 and May 9 is primarily related to the exercise of the Company’s outstanding options, warrants, and DSUs.
Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR"), as defined under the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and those of the Canadian Securities Administrators.
The Company’s DC&P are designed to ensure that all important information about the Company, including operating and financial activities, is communicated fully, accurately and in a timely way and that they provide the Company with assurance that the financial reporting is accurate.
ICFR means a process by or under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.
As at March 31, 2025, the Company’s CEO and CFO have certified that DC&P and ICFR are effective and that during the period ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not make any material changes in the ICFR that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s ICFR.
The internal controls are not expected to prevent and detect all misstatements due to error or fraud.
Technical Information
The scientific and technical information relating to the operation of the Company’s material operating mining properties contained herein has been reviewed and approved by Chris McCann, P.Eng., Vice President, Technical Services of the Company.

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2025 |
Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial and other measures to supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, including the following:
| · | average realized silver, zinc and lead prices; |
| · | cost of sales/Ag Eq oz produced; |
| · | cash costs/Ag oz produced; |
| · | all-in sustaining costs/Ag oz produced; |
| · | net cash generated from operating activities; |
| · | working capital; |
| · | EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings; and |
| · | silver equivalent production (Ag Eq). |
Management uses these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, internally to better assess performance trends and understands that a number of investors, and others who follow the Company’s performance, also assess performance in this manner. These non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may differ from methods used by other companies with similar descriptions. Management's determination of the components of non-GAAP financial measures and other financial measures are evaluated on a periodic basis influenced by new items and transactions, a review of investor uses and new regulations as applicable. Any changes to the measures are duly noted and retrospectively applied as applicable. Subtotals and per unit measures may not calculate based on amounts presented in the following tables due to rounding.
Average Realized Silver, Zinc and Lead Prices
The Company uses the financial measures "average realized silver price", "average realized zinc price” and “average realized lead price” because it understands that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance vis-à-vis average market prices of metals for the period. The presentation of average realized metal prices is not meant to be a substitute for the revenue information presented in accordance with IFRS, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with such IFRS measure.
Average realized metal prices represent the sale price of the underlying metal excluding unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on provisional pricing and concentrate treatment and refining charges. Average realized silver, zinc and lead prices are calculated as the revenue related to each of the metals sold, e.g. revenue from sales of silver divided by the quantity of ounces sold.

Cash Costs and Cash Costs/Ag Oz Produced
The Company uses the financial measures “Cash Costs” and “Cash Costs/Ag Oz Produced” in accordance with measures widely reported in the silver mining industry as a benchmark for performance measurement and because it understands that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s underlying cash costs of operations.
Cash costs are determined on a mine-by-mine basis and include mine site operating costs such as: mining, processing, administration, production taxes and royalties which are not based on sales or taxable income calculations. Non-cash costs consist of: non-cash related charges to cost of sales including inventory movements, write-downs to net realizable value of concentrates, ore stockpiles, and spare parts and supplies, and employee profit share accruals.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Earnings
The Company uses the financial measures “EBITDA”, “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted earnings” as indicators of the Company’s ability to generate operating cash flows to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund exploration and evaluation, and capital expenditures. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and therefore is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operating activities as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate these financial measures differently.
EBITDA is net income (loss) under IFRS before depletion and amortization, interest and financing expense, and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes other non-cash items such as accretion expenses, impairment charges, and other fair value gains and losses.
