Scientific and Technical Information

The scientific and technical information contained in this offering document relating to the Company’s mineral properties has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Jason Weber, P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company, a “qualified person” (“QP”) within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). Historical data contained in this offering document has not been verified.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

What is our business?

The Company is an exploration stage company and is engaged principally in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Silver North’s primary assets are its 100% owned Haldane silver project (next to Hecla Mining Inc.’s Keno Hill Mine project) and the Tim silver project (under option to Coeur Mining, Inc.). Silver North also holds gold and base metal projects in Yukon Territory, Colorado and Nevada, and is actively seeking partners for them. Silver North also plans to acquire additional silver properties in favourable jurisdictions.

The Company does not hold any interests in producing or commercial mineral deposits. The Company has no production or other material revenue. Commercial development of any kind will only occur in the event that sufficient quantities of mineral resources containing economic concentrations of minerals are discovered. If, in the future, a discovery is made, substantial financial resources will be required to establish mineral resources and/or mineral reserves. Additional substantial financial resources will be required to develop mining and processing facilities for any mineral resources and/or mineral reserves that may be discovered. If the Company is unable to finance the establishment of mineral reserves or the development of mining and processing facilities it may be required to sell all or a portion of its interest in such property to one or more parties capable of financing such development.

Recent developments

There are no material recent developments in respect of the Company that have not been disclosed in this offering document or in any other document filed by the Company in the 12 months preceding the date of this offering document.

Material facts

There are no material facts about the securities being distributed that have not been disclosed in this offering document or in any other document filed by the Company in the 12 months preceding the date of this offering document and the date the Company’s most recent audited annual financial statements were filed.

What are the business objectives that we expect to accomplish using the available funds?

Business Objectives and Milestones

The Company intends to use the gross proceeds from the sale of the CFT Units to incur Qualifying Expenditures related to the Company's projects in the Yukon, on or before December 31, 2025. This includes programs and expenditures to:  

 

Expected Time Period for Event

Cost related to Event(1)

Exploration and drilling at the Haldane property

12 months

$750,000

Exploration at the GDR property

12 months

$250,000

 

 

$1,000,000

Notes:

(1)Should the Company raise less than the maximum amount under the CFT Offering it will reduce its exploration expenses accordingly. 

 

Funds from the CFT Offering will be used for exploration at the Company’s Haldane and GDR properties in the Yukon. The primary expenditures at the Haldane property will be related to follow up drilling at the West Fault target, testing extensions of this zone to the southwest along strike and down dip (`4 holes). Drilling will also take place at the Bighorn target (~1 hole), targeting silver mineralization identified in the Company’s 2019 drilling program. The Company also intends to undertake additional drilling at West Fault and/or Bighorn targets and potentially one hole testing the West Fault and continuing to depth to also test the parallel Main Fault target.

Funds from the CFT Offering will also be used for exploration and drill target development at the GDR property. Mapping, prospecting and geochemical sampling may be undertaken on all three claim groups within the GDR property in order to identify drilling targets. The distribution of funds for exploration of the properties will be determined by results of the programs and the size of the completed CFT Offering.

The Company intends to use the funds from NFT Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

USE OF AVAILABLE FUNDS

The above noted allocation of capital and anticipated timing represents the Company’s current intentions based upon its present plans and business condition, which could change in the future as its plans and business conditions evolve. Although the Company intends to spend the proceeds from the Offering as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary and may vary materially from that set forth above, as the amounts actually allocated and spent will depend on a number of factors, including the Company’s ability to execute on its business plan. See the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” section above.

The most recent audited annual financial statements and interim financial report of the Company included a going-concern note. The Company is still in the exploration stage and the Company has not yet generated positive cash flows from its operating activities, which may cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Offering is intended to permit the Company to continue its exploration and drilling efforts at its Yukon mineral projects and is not expected to affect the decision to include a going-concern note in the next annual financial statements of the Company.
