AMERICAN
BATTERY MATERIALS INC.
Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For
the Nine months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited)
Note
1 - Nature of the Business
American
Battery Materials Inc. (the “Company”) is a US based renewable energy company focused on the extraction, refinement and distribution
of technical minerals in an environmentally responsible manner.
The
Company formerly developed, marketed and distributed various self-serve electronic kiosks and mall/airport co-branded islands throughout
North America. Due to the nationwide shutdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company spent a portion of 2020 restructuring and
retiring certain corporate debt and obligations, while focusing on implementing a new operational direction.
Through
the corporate reorganization and repositioning process, the Company found itself with the unique opportunity to expand its management
team and acquire mining claims that historically reported high levels of Lithium and other tech minerals. The Company hired and affiliated
itself with industry veterans that bring decades of experience, credibility and relationships.
On
November 5, 2021, the Company acquired the rights to 102 Federal Mining Claims located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah for $ 100,000 . The
acquisition was driven by historical mineral data from seven (7) existing wells with brine aquifer access. The independent third-party
Technical Report indicated that further investment and development in the claims were warranted.
On
April 25, 2023, the Company formed Mountain Sage Minerals, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, of which it is the 100 % owner. The
Company will look to expand its holdings in the Lisbon Valley area with the acquisition of additional mineral claims and joint venture
opportunities through this new LLC.
On
May 1, 2023, FINRA completed the processing of our application for a name change, and our name was officially changed to American Battery
Materials Inc. At the same time, the Company’s trading symbol was changed to BLTH. These changes better reflect the business of
the Company.
On
June 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Seaport Global Acquisition
II Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SGI I ”), and Lithium Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of SGII (“Merger Sub”). SGII is a blank check company, also referred to as a special purpose acquisition company, formed
for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar
business combination with one or more businesses. Following material changes to the transaction proposed by SGII making the transaction
untenable to us, on November 20, 2023, SGII notified us that it had elected to terminate the Merger Agreement.
On
August 4, 2023, the Company filed an Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) in order to effect a
reverse stock split in the ratio of 1-for-300 (the “Reverse Split”). The Company and its shareholders holding a majority
of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote previously approved a reverse stock split for not less
than 1-for-10 and not more than 1-for-1,000, at any time prior to October 20, 2023, with the Company’s Board having the discretion
to determine whether or not the Reverse Split is to be effected, and if effected, the exact ratio for the Reverse Split within the above
range. On August 1, 2023, the Company’s unanimously approved the Reverse Split and authorized the filing of the Amendment. On December
8, 2023, the company effectuated the reverse split of the common stock by a ratio of one-for-300 (the “Reverse Split”). All
per share amounts and number of shares in the consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively restated to
reflect the Reverse Split.
On
January 16, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a reverse stock split
of the issued and outstanding shares of its common stock at a ratio of one share for every 5 shares outstanding prior to the effective
date of the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split became effective on January 24, 2025. The total number of authorized shares
of common stock was reduced from 4,500,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares. The par value of the class Common Stock will remain the
same at $ 0.001 per share. The 10,000,000 authorized shares of the Corporation’s preferred stock, par value $ 0.001 per share will
not change. All per share amounts and number of shares in the consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively
restated to reflect the Reverse Split.
The
Company has been moving forward with its strategy of employing advanced brine extractive technology methodologies and has been in talks
with numerous extraction providers. Selective mineral extraction is clearly the most cost-effective and ESG friendly approach currently
available. Technologies are being utilized that can extract the desired minerals and metals from the brine and then re-inject the brines
back down into the aquifer. The prospective partners have been provided the analytical results from the technical reports, but will soon
provide current results, analytical, geotech modeling, aquifer modeling, recharge, flows and depth.

Note
2 - Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company had a net loss of $ 4,283,772
during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, has accumulated losses totaling $ 28,830,329 , and has a working capital deficit of $ 9,237,497
as of September 30, 2025. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Until
the Company can generate significant cash from operations, its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional
financing. The Company hopes to raise additional financing, potentially through the sale of debt or equity instruments, or a combination,
to fund its operations for the next 12 months and allow the Company to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its
obligations on a timely basis. Should additional financing not be available, the Company will have to negotiate with its lenders to extend
the repayment dates of its indebtedness. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully restructure its debt
obligations in the event it fails to obtain additional financing. These conditions have raised substantial doubt as to the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements, which has not been alleviated.
Note
3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on
events different from those assumptions. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; estimating, therefore, requires
the exercise of judgment. Thus, accounting estimates change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, or as additional information
is obtained.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of the assets. Equipment has estimated useful lives between three 3 and seven years . Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are
charged to expense as incurred.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and
used is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset
group. If it is determined that an asset group is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value.
Mineral
Rights and Properties
The
Company capitalizes acquisition costs until the Company determines the economic viability of the property. Since the Company does not
have proven and probable reserves as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-K Item 1300, exploration
expenditures are expensed as incurred. The Company expenses mineral lease costs and repair and maintenance costs as incurred. The Company
reviews the carrying value of our properties for impairment, including mineral rights, upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances
that indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. During the period ending December 31, 2023, the Company took action
to expand on its rights to 102 federal mining claims located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah that it purchased on November 5, 2021, for
$ 100,000 . The Company acquired and staked additional lithium mining claims adjacent to its Lisbon Valley Project in Utah for $ 106,000 .
The new claims have been registered with the Bureau of Land Management. The Company now owns a total of 743 placer claims over 14,320
acres, comprised of (i) the 102 original claims held; and (ii) the 641 new claims. No impairment or capitalizable costs related to the
mineral claims were noted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
6
Earnings
Per Share
The
Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per
share reflect the actual weighted average of shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed
including the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued. In a loss period,
the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive.
As
of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were approximately 0 and 285,728 shares respectively, potentially issuable under convertible debt
agreements, options, warrants and preferred stock that could dilute basic earnings per share if converted that were excluded from the
nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses
.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives. Certain warrants issued by the Company contain terms that result in the warrants being classified as derivative liabilities
for accounting purposes. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially
recorded at its fair market value and then is revalued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated
statement of operations. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency
risks.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
For
certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable,
accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC 820, “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC 825,
“Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value
measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
●
Level
1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and
volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
●
Level
2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially
the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that the Company values using observable
market data. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the derivative instruments,
can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
●
Level
3: Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less
observable from objective sources (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). Level 3 instruments include derivative warrant
instruments. The Company does not have sufficient corroborating evidence to support classifying these assets and liabilities as Level
1 or Level 2.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which requires
all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and non-employees to be measured at grant date fair value of the equity instrument
issued and recognized as expense. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
period of the award, which is generally equivalent to the vesting period. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The measurement date for the non-forfeitable awards to non-employees that vest immediately is
the date the award is issued.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” the core principle of which is that an entity should
recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control for promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the revenue recognition principles, an
entity is required to identify the contract(s) with a customer, identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price,
allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied (i.e.,
either over time or at a point in time). ASC 606 further requires that companies disclose sufficient information to enable readers of
financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
The
Company recognized $ 0 revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
7
Convertible
Debt
The
Company issues convertible notes as part of its financing strategy, which may contain embedded features such as conversion options, redemption
provisions, and contractual adjustments like most favored nations clauses. Convertible debt is accounted for under ASC 470, Debt, as
amended by ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options, adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2024. This standard
simplifies the accounting by eliminating certain separation models for convertible instruments, requiring the Company to evaluate the
debt as a single instrument unless bifurcation of embedded derivatives is required under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
Convertible
notes are initially recorded at their principal amount, net of issuance costs or discounts, and classified as liabilities unless specific
features mandate equity classification. Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method over the notes’ terms.
The
Company’s convertible debt instruments are debt host financial instruments containing embedded features, some of which would otherwise
be required to be bifurcated from the debt-host and recognized as separate derivative liabilities subject to initial and subsequent periodic
estimated fair value measurements under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Embedded features are assessed to determine if they require
bifurcation as derivatives. Features are bifurcated if their economic characteristics and risks are not clearly and closely related to
the debt host, the hybrid instrument is not remeasured at fair value through earnings, and the feature would qualify as a standalone
derivative. Bifurcated derivatives are recorded at fair value, with subsequent changes recognized in earnings. However, features contingent
on events with low probability (e.g., uplisting or an event of default) are assigned immaterial value. The Company continues to monitor
its facts and circumstances in each reporting period to evaluate whether each immaterial embedded feature’s fair value or change
to it is significant and would therefore need to be ascribed value.
Common
stock issued with convertible notes are treated as freestanding equity instruments under ASC 815-40, recorded at fair value in additional
paid-in capital, with proceeds allocated between the debt and shares using the relative fair value method. The fair value of the shares
issued are treated as a discount to the value of the convertible debt issued.
Debt
issuance costs are capitalized and amortized as additional interest expense over the debt term, unless allocated to bifurcated derivatives,
in which case they are expensed immediately if material.
Refinancings
of convertible and promissory notes previously issued by the Company are evaluated under ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments,
or ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors. A refinancing is accounted for as an extinguishment if the present value of cash
flows under the new terms differs by at least 10% from the original terms or if a substantive conversion option is added or eliminated.
When an extinguishment occurs, the original debt is derecognized and the new debt is recorded at fair value, recognizing any gain or
loss in earnings. If not extinguished, a refinancing is treated as a modification with no gain or loss recognition. If the Company were
to experience multiple changes to the same debt within a one-year period, and the first of those changes were determined to be a modification,
the Company would then evaluate the changes within the one-year period on a cumulative basis.
A
refinancing is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the Company is experiencing financial difficulty and the creditor
grants a concession (e.g., reduced effective interest rate). For TDRs, the carrying amount is adjusted only if undiscounted future cash
flows fall below the net carrying value of the original debt. When the undiscounted future cash flows of refinanced debt fall below the
net carrying value of the original debt, the Company would record a gain for the difference. It would further adjust the carrying value
of the debt to the future undiscounted cash flow amount with no interest expense recorded going forward. All future interest payments
would then reduce the carrying value of the respective debt modified. If the undiscounted future cash flows are greater than the carrying
value of the original debt, no gain would be recorded. The Company would then calculate a new effective interest rate based upon the
carrying value of the original debt and the revised future cash flows under the terms of the new debt.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which
simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates certain models that require separate accounting for embedded
conversion features, in certain cases. Additionally, among other changes, the guidance eliminates certain of the conditions for equity
classification for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance also requires entities to use the if converted method for
all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of share settlement for instruments
that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. This guidance is effective
beginning after December 15, 2023 and must be applied using either a modified or full retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company adopted this guidance and applied it to its convertible notes issued throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2025
and 2024.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic
740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances disclosure requirements related to income taxes, including rate reconciliation
and taxes paid by jurisdiction. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect
a material impact upon adoption.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Liabilities—Joint
Venture Formations (Subtopic 405-50): Recognition and Initial Measurement, clarifying accounting by a joint venture upon formation and
requiring fair value measurement of contributed assets and liabilities. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
31, 2024, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company does not expect a material impact upon adoption.
In April 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Investments—Equity
Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method,
expanding the use of this method to additional tax credit structures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2025. The Company does not expect a material impact upon adoption.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Taxes (Topic 740):
Disclosure Framework—Changes to Income Tax Disclosure Requirements, which further refines disclosure requirements to improve consistency
and comparability. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is evaluating the impact
of this guidance.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, Leases (Topic 842): Disclosures
about Leasing Arrangements, which enhances qualitative and quantitative lease disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
The
Company has examined recent accounting pronouncements and determined that they will not have a material impact on its financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.

Options
Stock
options are awarded to the Company’s employees, consultants and non-employee members of the board of directors under the Equity
Incentive Plan and are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the
date of grant. The aggregate fair value of these stock options granted by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2025,
was determined to be $ 20,023 using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i) volatility rate
of 31 %, (ii) discount rate of 0 %, (iii) zero expected dividend yield, (iv) risk-free rate of 3.88 %, (v) price of $ 7.5 , and (vi) expected
life of 10 years. A summary of option activity under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan as of September 30, 2025, and changes

Equity
Incentive Plan
On
July 22, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
and on July 26, 2011, stockholders holding a majority of shares of the Company approved, by written consent, the Plan and the issuance
under the Plan of 16,667 shares. On November 16, 2017, the Board of Directors approved an increase of 33,333 shares to be made available
for issuance under the Plan. Accordingly, the total number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 50,000
shares. On August 13, 2024, the Board of Directors adopted the American Battery Materials Inc. 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan, which
was deemed desirable and in the best interests of the Corporation, authorizing the executive officers to implement and administer this
new plan, reserving 800,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance. Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants,
agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its related companies. Such options may be designated at the time of
grant as either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Stock-based compensation includes expense charges related to
all stock-based awards. Such awards include options, warrants and stock grants. Generally, the Company issues stock options that vest
over three years and expire in 5 to 10 years. As of September 30, 2025, all outstanding awards have been granted under
the Plan.
Note
8 – Earnings Per Share
Earnings
per share calculations are performed in accordance with ASC 260, ‘Earnings Per Share’. Basic earnings per share is calculated
using the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, which were 2,699,784 and 2,314,020 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of
potential common shares, such as those issuable under convertible debt agreements, stock options, warrants, and preferred stock, unless
their inclusion is anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, approximately 0 and 285,728 potential
common shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation due to the Company’s reported net losses,
as their inclusion would have reduced the loss per share, rendering them anti-dilutive. The determination of anti-dilution was based
on the application of the treasury stock method for options and warrants and the if-converted method for convertible debt and preferred
stock, as applicable.

Overview
and Outlook
We
are a U.S. based renewable energy company focused on the extraction, refinement and distribution of technical minerals in an environmentally
responsible manner. We formerly developed, marketed and distributed various self-serve electronic kiosks and mall/airport co-branded
islands throughout North America. Due to the nationwide shutdown related to the Covid-19 pandemic, we spent a portion of 2020 restructuring
and retiring certain corporate debt and obligations and focusing on implementing a new operational direction.
Through
the corporate reorganization and repositioning process, we found ourselves with the unique opportunity to acquire mining claims that
historically reported high levels of lithium and other technical minerals crucial to produce batteries used in many technology products
and markets. We hired and affiliated ourselves with industry veterans that bring decades of experience, credibility and relationships.
On
November 5, 2021, we acquired the rights to 102 federal mining claims located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah for $100,000 plus the future
payment of royalties based on a percentage of the net revenue from the sale of lithium produced from a portion of the mining property.
The acquisition was driven by historical mineral data from seven existing wells with brine aquifer access. We are defined as an exploration
stage issuer, under SEC Regulation S-K Item 1300. An independent third-party technical report indicated that further investment and development
in the claims was warranted, although no determination has been made whether we have any reserves of minerals. Similarly, no determination
has been made whether mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted. We have no mineral reserves as defined
by Regulation S-K Item 1300 and have had no mining revenue to date.
In
July 2023, we acquired and staked additional lithium mining claims adjacent to our Lisbon Valley Project in Utah. The new claims have
been registered with the BLM. We now own a total of 743 placer claims over 14,320 acres (approximately 22 square miles), comprised of
the 102 original mining claims and 641 new claims.
On
April 25, 2023, we formed Mountain Sage Minerals, LLC, a Utah limited liability company. We plan to expand our holdings in the Lisbon
Valley area with the acquisition of additional mineral claims and joint venture opportunities through this entity.
On
June 1, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Seaport Global Acquisition II
Corp. (“SGII”) and Lithium Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SGII. SGII is a blank check company, also referred
to as a special purpose acquisition company, formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. As a result of the Merger Agreement,
we would have become a wholly owned subsidiary of SGII. Following material changes to the transaction proposed by SGII making the transaction
untenable to us, on November 20, 2023, SGII notified us that it had elected to terminate the Merger Agreement.
We
have been moving forward with our strategy of employing advanced brine extractive technology methodologies and have been in talks with
numerous extraction providers. Selective mineral extraction is the most cost-effective and ESG friendly approach currently available.
Technologies are being utilized that can extract the desired minerals and metals from the brine and then re-inject the brines back down
into the aquifer. The prospective partners have been provided the analytical results from the technical reports, but will soon provide
current results, analytical, geotech modeling, aquifer modeling, recharge, flows and depth. We will need funding to support continuing
operations and support our growth strategy and we will need to finance operations by offering any combination of equity offerings, debt
financing, collaborations, strategic alliances or other licensing arrangements. There is no assurance we will be able to raise sufficient
capital to finance our operations.

and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $1,509,194, an increase of $293,349 or 24%, compared to
$1,215,845 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to an increase in share-based
compensation.
Gain
(Loss) on Extinguishment

the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $990,109 and $516,083, respectively.
Fair
Value of Stock Issued for Note Modification
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a fair value of stock issued for note modification of $1,273,659
and $14,382, respectively.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $510,810, as compared to $295,572 during the nine months ended September 30,
2024.
Net
Loss
As
a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $4,283,772 as compared to the net loss of $2,041,882
during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for capital expenditures. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Our company had a net loss of $4,283,772 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2025, had accumulated losses totaling $28,830,329, and a working capital deficit of $9,237,497 as of September
30, 2025. These factors, among others, indicate that our company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Since
we acquired our first mining claims in November 2021, we have faced an increasingly challenging liquidity situation that has limited
our ability to execute our operating plan. Our company will need to raise additional financing in order to fund its operations for the
next 12 months and to allow us to continue the development of its business plans and satisfy its obligations on a timely basis. Should
additional financing not be available, we will have to negotiate with its lenders to extend the repayment dates of its indebtedness.
There can be no assurance that our company will be able to successfully restructure its debt obligations in the event it fails to obtain
additional financing.
17
Sources
of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing,
bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required
or at all and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. Unless we can attract additional investment, our operating as
a going concern is in doubt.
If
we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may have to cease filing the required reports and cease operations
completely. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future
obligations, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity
securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock.
Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our company used $483,456 of cash in operating activities as a result of our net loss of $4,283,772,
offset by loss on debt settlement of $990,109, fair value of stock issued for note modification of $1,273,659, share-based compensation
of $785,181, accrued interest of $494,766, and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $256,601.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our company used $585,876 of cash in operating activities as a result of our net loss of $2,041,882,
offset by loss on debt settlement of $516,083 and amortization of debt discount of $28,497, fair value of stock issued for note modification
of $14,382, share-based compensation of $14,261, accrued interest of $219,910, and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of
$662,783.

4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
David
Graber, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Sebastian Lux, who serves as our President and Chief Operating
Officer and Agustin Cabo, who serves as our Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial Officer (collectively referred to herein
as “Senior Management”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025.
The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other
procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms. Senior Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on its evaluation, Senior Management concluded as of September 30, 2025 that
our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting:
●
We
do not have controls designed to validate the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the determination of accounting
transactions. Accordingly, we believe we have a material weakness because there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
to the interim or annual consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
18
●
We
do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls
over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which is applicable to us. Management
evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our
disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represents a material weakness.
●
We
do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and
nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent
possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate
individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls
and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represents a material weakness.
●
We
have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.
●
We
do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal
controls and procedures.
Notwithstanding
the identified material weaknesses, Senior Management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods
presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Changes
in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, Senior Management
is currently seeking to improve our controls and procedures in an effort to remediate the deficiencies described above.
