Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
As at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and for the
three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
(unaudited with tabular amounts in thousands of USD$ except number of shares,
options and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
1. Nature of Operations
SilverCrest Metals Inc. (the "Company" or "SilverCrest") is a corporation governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company’s corporate office and principal address is located at 501-570 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3P1. The Company’s registered office is 19th Floor, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3H4. SilverCrest shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol SIL and the NYSE-American under the symbol SILV.
SilverCrest engages in silver and gold mining and related activities, including exploration and mine development from its Las Chispas mine located in Sonora, Mexico.
2. Basis of Preparation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, under International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and have been condensed with certain disclosures from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Annual Financial Statements") omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2023 Annual Financial Statements.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2024.
3. Material Accounting Policies
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, with the exception of those described in Note 4, are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the 2023 Annual Financial Statements.
4. Changes in Accounting Standards
Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards
Presentation of Financial Statements (Amendments to IAS 1)
We have adopted the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements regarding the classification of liabilities as current or non-current based on contractual rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement. A liability not due over the next twelve months is classified as non-current even if management intends or expects to settle the liability within twelve months. The amendment also introduces a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. The amendment issued in October 2022 also clarifies how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. Covenants to be compiled with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. These amendments did not have a material impact on the Company.
Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Applied
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18)
IFRS 18 has been issued to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities. The standard, which replaces IAS 1, impacts the presentation of primary financial statements and notes, mainly the income statement where companies will be required to present separate categories of income and expense for operating, investing, and financing activities with prescribed subtotals for each new category. IFRS 18 will require management-defined performance measures to be explained and included in a separate note within the consolidated financial statement. The standard is effective for financial statements beginning on January 1, 2027, including interim financial statements and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this amendment.

There are no other standards or amendments or interpretations to existing standards issued but not yet effective that are expected to have a material impact on the Company.
5. Significant Judgments and Estimates
In preparing the Company’s unaudited condensed interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company applied the critical judgements and estimates, and key sources of estimation uncertainty disclosed in Notes 5 and 6, respectively, of its 2023 Annual Financial Statements.

b)Derivative Instruments
The Company's derivatives are comprised of bullion and foreign currency contracts. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold call options and purchased put options on bullion and foreign currency. The Company receives an option premium in cash on selling the option, which is recorded as either an asset or a liability. The value of the option is remeasured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at each reporting date, with gains or losses recorded as other expense, along with a corresponding increase or decrease to the derivative assets or liabilities.
The gains on derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were as follows:

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
As at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and for the
three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
(unaudited with tabular amounts in thousands of USD$ except number of shares,
options and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
c)Fair Value Information
i.Fair Value Measurement
The categories of the fair value hierarchy of inputs used in the valuation techniques are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices 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 or indirectly; and
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability based on unobservable market data
The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:
At March 31, 2024At December 31, 2023
Level 1Level 2Level 1Level 2
Assets and Liabilities:
Derivative assets 548 — — 
Derivative liabilities 344 — 168 
The methodology and assessment of inputs for determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities as well as the levels of hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value remain unchanged from that at December 31, 2023.
ii.Valuation Techniques
Derivative assets and liabilities
The Company’s derivatives were comprised of bullion and foreign currency contracts which are valued using observable market prices.
d)Financial Instruments and Related Risks
The Company has exposure to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns. The principle financial risks to which the Company is exposed are:
i)Credit risk
ii)Liquidity risk
iii)Market risk
1.Currency risk
2.Interest rate risk
3.Price risk
The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.
i.Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may fail to satisfy its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. Credit risk results from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.
The Company manages credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents by diversifying these asset holdings with multiple highly rated financial institutions, including the Bank of Montreal ("BMO") and the Bank of Nova Scotia (“BNS”) in Canada and BNS in Mexico. Further, credit risk on trade and other receivables is managed by ensuring amounts are receivable from highly rated financial institutions. The Company has not recognized any expected credit losses with respect to trade and other receivables. For cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables, credit risk exposure equals the carrying amount on the balance sheet.
ii.Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company's cash and cash

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
As at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and for the
three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
(unaudited with tabular amounts in thousands of USD$ except number of shares,
options and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
equivalents are invested in business accounts with quality financial institutions and are available on demand to fund the Company's operations.
The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2024 of $71.1 million, bullion of $20.0 million, undrawn $70.0 million Revolving Facility, and continuing revenue and profitable operations are sufficient to settle its commitments through the next 12 months.
iii.Market Risk
1.Currency Risk
The functional and reporting currency of the Company including its subsidiaries is the United States dollar ("USD") and the Company reports results using USD; however, the Company operates in jurisdictions that utilize the Canadian dollar ("CAD") and Mexican peso ("MXN"). As a consequence, the financial results of the Company’s operations as reported in USD are subject to changes in the value of the USD relative to these local currencies. Since the Company’s sales are denominated in USD and a portion of the Company’s operating costs and capital spending are in local currencies, the Company is negatively impacted by changes in local currencies relative to the USD.
In order to mitigate its exposure to currency risk, the Company has entered into option contracts designed to limit the effective exchange rate between the Mexican peso and US dollar. The notional value of open contracts as at March 31, 2024 totaled $34 million, with maturities from April 2024 until January 2025 and exchange rates between 17.06 and 17.74. The positive mark-to-market on open contracts at March 31, 2024 was $0.5 million.
2.Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The average interest rate earned by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2024 on its cash and cash equivalents was 5.3% (2023 - 5.09%).
On November 29, 2022, the Company's entered into a $120 million senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") comprised of a $50 million term facility (the "Term Facility") and a $70 million revolving facility (the "Revolving Facility") (Note 11). The Company repaid the Term Facility during the first five months of 2023 and incurred a weighted average interest rate of 7.79% during that time. There were no amounts drawn on the Revolving Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or comparative period.
3.Price Risk
The Company is exposed to price risk on precious metals that impact the valuation of the Company’s derivative positions, comprised of gold and silver call options written, which has a direct and immediate impact on net earnings. The prices of precious metals are volatile and affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control, and there can be no assurance that precious metal prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended change in precious metal prices could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, income, and cash flows.
7. Bullion
The Company purchases gold and silver bullion from a bullion bank as part of its liquidity management program.
Bullion held by the Company was comprised of the following:
March 31, 2024December 31, 2023
CostFair valueCostFair value
Gold bullion$5,535 $6,166 $5,535 $5,743

$18,674 $20,039 $18,674 $19,191 
The Company records bullion at fair value with gains of $0.8 million included in other income (note 22) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and no amount recorded in the comparative period.

On closing the Credit Facility, the Company drew $50 million from the Term Facility and used $40 million of available cash to repay its $92.9 million secured project financing facility.
The Company fully repaid the Term Facility during the first five months of 2023 and has not drawn from the Revolving Facility in 2024 or 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the $70 million Revolving Facility.
The Revolving Facility bears interest, and the Term Facility when outstanding bore interest, at a rate based initially on an adjusted Term secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.75%. The undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility is subject to a standby fee ranging from 0.5625% to 0.8428% per annum.
