FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurement establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy’s three tiers are based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market, and are as follows:

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

	Level 2:	Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

	Level 3:	One or more significant inputs used in a valuation technique are unobservable in determining fair values of the asset or liability.

Determination of fair value and the resulting hierarchy requires the use of observable market data whenever available. The classification of an asset or liability in the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature and therefore have been excluded from the table below. A summary of the carrying value and fair value of other financial instruments were as follows:

				March 31, 2025								December 31, 2024
		Classification		Carrying Value $				Fair Value $				Carrying Value $				Fair Value $
DSU liability		Level 1			930,840				930,840				941,664				941,664
Vehicle financing		Level 2			216,454				216,454				246,137				246,137
Term loan		Level 3			-				-				18,983,212				20,862,478
NSR option liability		Level 2			2,750,000				2,750,000				2,750,000				2,750,000

DSU liability – the fair value of the DSUs is measured using the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares at the end of each reporting period.

Vehicle financing – The fair values approximate carrying values as the interest rates are comparable to current market rates.

Term loan – the term loan was carried at amortized cost. The fair value measurement of the term loan was based on an income approach.

NSR option liability – The fair value of the NSR options is determined using a valuation model that incorporates such factors as discounted cash flow projections, metal price volatility, and risk-free interest rate. As the NSR options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of Cymbria and the underlying projects are in the exploration stage, the fair value of the call and put on the options as at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is $nil.
