The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Reconciliations and descriptions can be found under “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures”.

 

This MD&A contains statements about the Company’s future or expected financial condition, results of operations and business. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above for more information on forward-looking statements.

  

Overview

 

The Company is a silver-focused producer with two operations in the world's leading silver mining regions: the Galena Complex in Idaho, USA and the Cosalá Operations in Sinaloa, Mexico, and the Company also owns Relief Canyon mine (“Relief Canyon”) which is currently on care and maintenance in Nevada, USA.

 

In Idaho, USA, the Company operates the 100%-owned producing Galena Complex whose primary assets are the operating Galena mine, the Coeur mine, and the contiguous Caladay development project in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District of the northern Idaho Silver Valley. The Galena Complex has recorded production of over 230 million ounces of silver along with associated by-product metals of copper and lead over a production history of more than sixty years. The Company is currently underway with a new strategy at Galena aimed at increasing production and lowering operating costs following the consolidation transaction and concurrent C$50 million financing which closed in December 2024.

 

In Sinaloa, Mexico, the Company operates the 100%-owned Cosalá Operations, which includes the San Rafael silver-zinc-lead mine (“San Rafael”), after declaring commercial production in December 2017. Prior to that time, it operated the Nuestra Señora silver-zinc-copper-lead mine after commissioning the Los Braceros processing facility and declaring commercial production in January 2009. The Cosalá area land holdings also host several other known precious metals and polymetallic deposits, past-producing mines, and development projects, including the 100%-owned Zone 120 and the El Cajón silver-copper deposits (“EC120 Project”). The Company is currently in the process of developing the EC120 mine which is expected to reach full production by year end 2025. These properties are located in close proximity to the Los Braceros processing plant. The Company also owns a 100% interest in the San Felipe development project in Sonora, Mexico.

 

In Nevada, USA, the Company has the 100%-owned, Relief Canyon located in Pershing County, which is currently on care and maintenance. Operations were suspended in August 2021 in order to resolve technical challenges related to the metallurgical characteristics of the deposit; leaching and heap rinsing operations were discontinued in Q4-2023. The landholdings at Relief Canyon and the surrounding area cover over 11,700 hectares.

 

The Company’s management and Board of Directors (the “Board”) are comprised of senior mining executives who have extensive experience identifying, acquiring, developing, financing, and operating precious metals deposits globally. The Company’s registered office is located at 145 King Street West, Suite 2870, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 1J8.

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.

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.

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

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.

Throughout this MD&A, tonnes milled, silver grade and recovery, silver production and sales, silver equivalent production, and cost per ounce measurements during fiscal 2025 and 2024 include EC120 Project pre-production from the Cosalá Operations.

4

Throughout this MD&A, contract services related to transportation costs were reclassified from treatment and selling costs in revenue to cost of sales in fiscal 2024.

 

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.

Throughout this MD&A, tonnes milled, silver grade and recovery, silver production and sales, silver equivalent production, and cost per ounce measurements during fiscal 2025 and 2024 include EC120 Project pre-production from the 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.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three months ended March 31, 2025

 

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.

 

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.

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.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three months ended March 31, 2025

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Throughout this MD&A, contract services related to transportation costs were reclassified from treatment and selling costs in revenue to cost of sales in fiscal 2024.

 

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.

Net Cash Generated from Operating Activities

 

The Company uses the financial measure “net cash generated from operating activities” 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 liquidity, operational efficiency, and short-term financial health.

 

This is a financial measure disclosed in the Company’s statements of cash flows determined as cash generated from operating activities, after changes in non-cash working capital items.

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.

Supplementary Financial Measures

 

The Company references certain supplementary financial measures that are not defined terms under IFRS to assess performance because it believes they provide useful supplemental information to investors.

 

Silver Equivalent Production

 

References to silver equivalent production are based on all metals production at average realized silver, zinc, and lead prices during each respective period, except as otherwise noted.
