Each Unit consisted of one common share of CML and one-half share purchase warrant of CML (each whole warrant, a “Subscription Warrant”). Each Subscription Warrant has an exercise price of C$3.25 with an expiry date on April 25, 2024.

The Warrants are classified as derivative financial liabilities as they are denominated in Canadian dollars and the Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. Proceeds from the October 2022 Offering are allocated between Common Shares and Subscription Warrants based on the residual fair value method within the unit.

The issue date fair value of the Warrants was determined to be C$0.55 per warrant with the resulting allocation of the total proceeds for the October 2022 Offering being:

Fair value for the Subscription Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions as at March 31, 2024:

Weighted average share price |  |  | C$4.00 |
Weighted average risk-free interest rate |  |  | 4.19 | %
Weighted average dividend yield |  |  | Nil |
Weighted average stock price volatility |  |  | 57 | %
Weighted average period to expiry (years) |  |  | 0.07 |

Each Unit was comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (“Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share, subject to standard anti-dilution provisions, at a price of $5.01 until March 4, 2027, however the Company has the right to accelerate the expiry of the Subscription Warrants in the event that the Company’s closing price on the TSXV remains equal to or higher than $6.00 for 20 consecutive trading days following the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date, the Company may accelerate the Warrant Term to the date which is 30 trading days following the date a notice is provided to holders of Warrants and a press release is issued by the Company announcing the accelerated Warrant Term.

The Warrants are classified as derivative financial liabilities as they are denominated in Canadian dollars and the Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. Proceeds from the March 2024 Offering are allocated between Common Shares and Subscription Warrants based on the residual fair value method within the unit.

The issue date fair value of the Warrants was determined to be C$0.72 per warrant with the resulting allocation of the total proceeds for the March 2024 Offering being:

|  | C$ |  |  | $ |
Warrants liability – Subscription Warrants |  |  | 1,620,000 |  |  |  | 1,193,634 |

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a derivative loss of $566,418 in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the revaluation of the Warrants.

Fair value for the Subscription Warrants was determined using the FINCAD option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions as at March 31, 2024:

Weighted average share price |  |  | C$4.00 |
Weighted average risk-free interest rate |  |  | 4.19 | %
Weighted average dividend yield |  |  | Nil |
Weighted average stock price volatility |  |  | 76 | %

| 11. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Instrument Disclosures

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted (including the criteria for recognition, the bases of measurement and the bases for recognition of income and expenses) for each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 4 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Fair value measurement

Fair market value represents the amount that would be exchanged in an arm's length transaction between willing parties and is best evidenced by a quoted market price, if one exists.

Fair value measurement is determined based on the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

The carrying values for financial assets and liabilities for cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values as at March 31, 2024.

Other financial liabilities as at March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – $1,638,808) were as follows:

As at March 31, 2024 |  | FVTPL |  |  | FVOCI |  |  | Amortized Cost |  |  | Total |
|  | $ |  |  | $ |  |  | $ |  |  | $ |
Financial liabilities |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Warrants liability (level 2) |  |  | 2,329,693 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 2,329,693 |

There were no transfers between the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

| 12. | FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

| (a) | Financial Risk Management

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, which include currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management with guidance from and policies approved by the Board of Directors.

Financial Risk Factors

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company conducts some of its operating, financing and investing activities in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company is therefore subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter party’s inability to fulfil its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from its properties. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held with banks in Canada and Colombia. Funds held in banks in Colombia are limited to yearly forecasted Colombian denominated expenses. The Company limits material counterparty credit risk on these assets by dealing with financial institutions with credit ratings of at least “A” or equivalent, or those which have been otherwise approved. Receivables mainly consist of receivables for refundable commodity taxes in Canada and Colombia. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to remaining amounts receivable is minimal.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as maintenance of liquidity. The Company manages its liquidity risk by proactively mitigating exposure through cash management, including forecasting its liquidity requirements with available funds and anticipated investing and financing activities.

As at March 31, 2024, the cash balance was $23,735,889. However, the cash balance is not sufficient to meet all of its future obligations in respect of the option contracts in Note 18 if the Company elects to exercise all its options in respect of all the contracts. Thus, continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to develop a sufficient financing plan, receive continued financial support from existing shareholders and/or new shareholders or through other arrangements, complete sufficient public equity financing, or generate profitable operations in the future.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the impact that changes in interest rates could have on the Company’s earnings and liabilities. The Company’s cash balances are not subject to significant interest rate risk as balances are current.

| (b) | Capital Management

The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration and evaluation of its mineral interests. The Company mainly relies on equity issuances to raise new capital. The capital structure of the Company includes the components of equity as well as cash and cash equivalents.

On November 10, 2021, the Company filed a short form base shelf prospectus which will allow the Company to issue common shares, warrants, subscriptions receipts, units of debt securities among others for up to an aggregate total of C$100,000,000. The initial base shelf prospectus was effective until December 2023.

In connection with the initial base shelf prospectus:

| - | On October 25, 2022, the Company closed the October 2022 Offering for a total of $7,891,000 (C$10,763,000) which consisted of the sale of 4,783,400 units at a price of C$2.25 per unit.

| - | On March 22, 2023, the Company closed the March 2023 Offering for a total of $21,882,311 (C$30,005,000) which consisted of the sale of 7,060,000 shares at a price of C$4.25 per share.

On December 6, 2023, the Company filed a new short form base shelf prospectus which will allow the Company to issue common shares, warrants, subscriptions receipts, units or debt securities, or a combination thereof up to an aggregate total of C$200,000,000. The new base shelf prospectus replaces the one approved on November 10, 2021 and remains effective until January 2026.

The Company prepares annual estimates of exploration and administrative expenditures and monitors actual expenditures compared to estimates to ensure that there is sufficient capital on hand to meet ongoing obligations. The Company maintains its cash in highly liquid short-term deposits which can be liquidated immediately without interest or penalty.

The Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management has remained consistent for the period ended March 31, 2024.

| 13. | SHARE CAPITAL

| 14. | EARNINGS PER SHARE

| (a) | Basic

Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as follows:

For the three months ended March 31 |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Net loss |  | $ | (4,725,236 | ) |  | $ | (3,973,790 | )
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding |  |  | 63,415,998 |  |  |  | 53,635,831 |
Basic net loss per common share |  | $ | (0.07 | ) |  | $ | (0.07 | )

| (b) | Diluted

The Company incurred a net loss for each of the periods of three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023; therefore, all outstanding stock options and share warrants have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

| 15. | SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

The Company adopted a stock option plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to the Securities Act of Ontario (the “Act”). The aggregate maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and all other security-based compensation arrangements (together “Share Compensation Arrangements”) at any given time is 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares as at the date of the grant of the Share Compensation Arrangement. Any shares subject to a stock option under the Plan which have been exercised, cancelled, repurchased, expired or terminated in accordance with the Plan will again be available under the Plan.

Under the Plan, the Company may grant to directors, officers, employees, and consultants stock options to purchase common shares of the Company. Stock options granted under the Plan will be for a term not to exceed 10 years.
