DOLLY VARDEN SILVER CORPORATION Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars | Unaudited) |
1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (the "Company" or "Dolly Varden") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on March 4, 2011 and is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") under the symbol "DV". In addition, the Company trades on the NYSE American, LLC under the symbol "DVS" and on the Frankfurt Exchange under the trading symbol "DVQ ". The Company's primary business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. The Company's head office is Suite 3123, 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7X 1J1. The registered address and records office of the Company is located at Suite 1700 Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2X8.
The Company owns interests in multiple mineral titles and claims in British Columbia, Canada. On February 25, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Homestake Resource Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Homestake Royalty Corporation (collectively, "Homestake") in exchange for common shares of the Company. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements and to complete the development of properties, as well as upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. Management believes that the Company has sufficient working capital to maintain its operations and activities for the next fiscal year.
On April 7, 2025, the Company completed a consolidation of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at a ratio of four pre-consolidation common shares for one post-consolidation common share. All share figures and per share figures in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the share consolidation.
2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
(a) Statement of Compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2024 and for the fiscal year then ended, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on August 13, 2025.
(b) Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
DOLLY VARDEN SILVER CORPORATION Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars | Unaudited) |
3 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
(a) Basis of Consolidation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions, balances, revenue and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.
The legal subsidiaries of the Company are as follows:
Name of Subsidiary | Place of Incorporation | Beneficial Ownership Interest | |
June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||
Homestake Resource Corporation | British Columbia, Canada | 100% | 100% |
Homestake Royalty Corporation | British Columbia, Canada | 100% | 100% |
(b) Functional and Foreign Currency
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's and its subsidiaries' functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at year-end or period-end rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.
(c) Use of Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. These and other estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of changes in these estimates could be material. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized during the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Significant Accounting Judgments
Significant accounting judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
i) Recoverability of the carrying value of the Company's exploration and evaluation assets
Recorded costs of exploration and evaluation assets are not intended to reflect present or future values of these properties. The recorded costs are subject to measurement uncertainty and it is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that a change in future conditions could require a material change in the recognized amount.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
i) Share-based payments
The fair value of share-based payments is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Such option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility, option life, dividend yield, risk-free rate and estimated forfeitures at the initial grant date.

(c) Use of Estimates and Judgments (cont'd)
Critical Accounting Estimates (cont'd)
ii) Estimating useful life of property and equipment
Depreciation of property and equipment is charged to write-down the value of those assets to their residual value over their respective estimated useful lives. Management is required to assess the useful economic lives and residual values of the assets such that depreciation is charged on a systematic basis to the current carrying amount. The useful lives are estimated having regard to such factors as asset maintenance, rate of technical and commercial obsolescence, and asset usage. The useful lives of key assets are reviewed annually.
iii) Deferred income taxes
Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable earnings in future periods, in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the date of the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position could be impacted.
iv) Accrual of British Columbia Mineral Exploration Tax Credit ("BC METC")
The provincial government of British Columbia provides for a refundable tax on net qualified mining exploration expenditures incurred in British Columbia. The credit is calculated as 20% of qualified mining exploration expenses less the amount of any assistance received or receivable. The determination of the expenditures that would qualify as mining exploration expenses was based on the previous years' tax filings and subsequent reviews by government auditors. BC METC will be recorded in profit or loss upon cash receipt or when reasonable assurance exists that the tax filings are assessed and the expenditures are qualified as mining exploration expenses.
(d) Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards
Future Standards not yet Adopted
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This standard aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss, in particular additional defined subtotals, disclosures about management-defined performance measures and new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. IFRS 18 is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. IFRS 18 is effective from January 1, 2027. Companies are permitted to apply IFRS 18 before that date. The Company is currently assessing the impact the new standard will have on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
(e) Reclassification of prior period figures
Certain comparative balances in the consolidated interim statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the period ended June 30, 2024 have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

5 EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims, as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristics of many exploration and evaluation assets. The Company has investigated title to all of its exploration and evaluation assets and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties is in good standing.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 to 2020, the Company purchased the Dolly Varden (or "DV") property, consisting of fee simple titles, mineral claims and mineral tenures in respect of certain lands located in the Kitsault area of British Columbia. The property is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") of which one-half (or 1%) of the NSR can be repurchased by the Company for $2,750,000 at any time.

The 2% NSR on the Crown Grants includes an annual advanced minimum royalty of $50,000 payment obligations. Ten business days after commencement of commercial production, approximately 17,300 shares of the Company are to be issued to the NSR holders. Additionally, a small area of the Homestake Ridge property is subject to a 3% royalty. The Company refers to the combination of its Homestake Ridge and DV properties as the KV Project.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, or acquire or dispose of assets.
The Company is dependent on the capital markets as its main source of operating capital.

There have been no changes to the Company's approach to capital management During the six months ended June 30, 2025.

DOLLY VARDEN SILVER CORPORATION Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars | Unaudited) |
9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd)
Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash, short-term investments, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or market rates of interest. The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below.
Credit Risk
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, short-term investments, deposits and Goods and Services Tax ("GST") receivable. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Cash consists of bank balances and demand GICs at reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. GST receivable and deposits are due from government agencies. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk for cash by placing it with high quality financial institutions.
Liquidity Risk
The Company's ability to remain liquid over the long-term depends on its ability to obtain additional financing through the issuance of additional securities, entering into credit facilities, or entering into joint ventures, partnerships or other similar arrangements. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing in the future to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. As at June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $52,504,523 settle current liabilities of $5,245,251 (excluding liability on flow-through share issuances).
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has cash and cash equivalent balances subject to fluctuations in the prime rate. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. Management believes that interest rate risk is remote, as investments are redeemable at any time and interest can be earned up to the date of redemption.
