MAGELLAN GOLD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Nature of Operations

Organization and Nature of Operations

Magellan Gold Corporation (“we” “our”, “us”, the “Company” or “Magellan”) was incorporated on September 28, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mining rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiaries, Clearwater and M Gold. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Net Loss per Common Share

We compute basic net loss per common share by dividing our net loss attributable to common shareholders by our weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Computation of diluted net loss per common share adds the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding to the weighted-average common shares outstanding, as calculated for basic net loss per share, except for instances in which there is a net loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 72,000 stock options, 117,500 warrants, and 2,518,755 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 72,000 stock options, 117,500 warrants, and 1,916,904 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815. The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40-35-12 to determine the order in which each convertible instrument would be evaluated for derivative classification. The Company’s sequencing policy is to evaluate for reclassification contracts with the earliest maturity date first.

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $1,778,602, we had not yet generated any significant revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $19,789,476. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due, of which there can be no assurance.

We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock but cannot assure that any future financing will occur.

Note 3 – Mineral Rights and Properties

Center Star Gold Mine

On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation (“Clearwater”) which owns certain unpatented mining claims in Idaho County, Idaho that include the historic Center Star Gold Mine (“Center Star”) near Elk City, Idaho. As a result of the Clearwater acquisition, Gregory Schifrin, the sole shareholder of Clearwater, was appointed to serve as a member of the Company’s Board on July 1, 2020. In consideration for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Clearwater, the Company has agreed to pay Clearwater’s sole shareholder 1,000,000 shares of Magellan common stock, $125,000 convertible note and $25,000 in cash. The 1,000,000 shares are to be issued to the shareholder on and under the terms as follows: 250,000 shares at the time of closing, 250,000 shares at the time the Center Mine receives its permit to reopen the main portal of the mine, 250,000 shares at the point the main portal have been reopened and 250,000 shares two-years from closing concurrent the pay-off of the $125,000 convertible note.

On January 3, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Gold Express Mines, Inc (“Golden Express”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Seller sold the following 1) Golden, Idaho Project located in Idaho County, Idaho and consisting of seventy-two unpatented mining claims 2) Seafoam District - located in Custer County, Idaho and consisting of five unpatented mining claims 3) Blacktail District - located in Lemhi County, Idaho and consisting of eight unpatented mining claims 4) Big-it Project- located in Shoshone County, Idaho consisting of twenty-five unpatented mining claims and a mineral lease over three unpatented mining claims and 94.86 acres of real property and 5) Terror Gulch (Capparelli Group) located in Shoshone County, Idaho consisting of twelve unpatented mining claims.

The Company concluded the transaction qualified as an asset acquisition and all such acquisition costs have been capitalized. The Company concluded the purchase of a single set of assets qualified as an asset acquisition and all such acquisition costs have been capitalized as mineral rights and properties on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2023, the Gold Express mineral rights and properties balance totaled $1,000,000.

Kris Project

On June 6, 2023, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding for earn-in agreement(“MOU”) with Gold Express Mines, Inc. Per the MOU, the Company agreed to earn-in for up to 50% working interest in Kris Project, which has 69 unpatented mining claims located in Plumus County, CA. In March 2023, the Company paid Gold Express Mines, Inc. $100,000, which was recorded as a deposit, and shall spend $400,000 on the Kris Project in allowable expenditures over the next thirty-six months, assuming permitting for the work is obtained. In the event that permitting delays the exploration and other work programs, the earn-in period shall be extended accordingly. Allowable expenditures are sampling, drilling, assaying, geologic mapping and mine site improvements made or performed directly on the existing mine site or expanded mine site. Consulting fees for work directly benefiting the Project are also allowed including management of work, preparation of reports, and planning for Future work. Claim maintenance fees on the existing claims are also allowable expenditures, as are the costs of future land acquisitions which are deemed to benefit the Kris Project, and which are approved by both parties beforehand. As part of the agreement, the Company shall make the Bureau of Land Management claim maintenance fees on the existing claims no later than August 15, 2023, and by August 15^th in ensuing years during the earn-in period. The Company shall pay for the annual Plumus County “notice of intent to hold” recording costs and any other Plumus County fees or taxes which accrue during the earn-in period. These shall all be allowable expenses under the earn-in agreement. As of September 30, 2023, the $100,000 deposit paid to Golden Express for the MOU was reclassed to mineral rights and properties on the balance sheet.

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Inputs reflecting management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party line of credit and notes payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company’s estimated level within the fair value hierarchy of those assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Schedule of fair value of liabilities
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair value at September 30, 2023
Liabilities:

The day one derivative liability of $95,715 was recorded as a discount on the convertible notes payable. On February 9, 2022, the Company extended the maturity to May 10, 2022. In consideration of the extension, the Company issued the debt holder 180,000 shares of common stock valued at $54,000.

The incremental value of the debt modification of $56,000 will be recorded over the remaining life of the note ending November 9, 2022. Th AJB Convertible Note is due and payable in November 2023. In January 2023, the Note was extended to August 11, 2023 and is currently past due. In consideration for the extension, the principal amount of the note was increased by $10,000. The incremental value of the debt modification of $10,000 will be recorded as a debt discount and amortized over the remaining life of the note ending August 11, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company amortized $10,000 of debt discount. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repaid $100,000 of principal on this note.

The debt discount will be amortized over the remaining life of the note ending August 11, 2023. The fair value of the conversion option was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following range of assumptions during the period: fair value of stock $0.12 - $0.20, volatility of 237.73% -250.85% based on a comparable company peer group, expected term of 0.50 years, risk-free rate of 4.76% - 5.47% and a dividend yield of 0%.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance on the loan was $110,000 and $200,000, net of discount of $0, with accrued interest of $17,300 and $7,400, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We use the terms “Magellan,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to Magellan Gold Corporation.

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. This information should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and our interim unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included with this report in Part I, Item 1.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged in China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The outbreak has now spread to the United States and infections have been reported globally.

The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly evolving. The information in this Quarterly Report is based on data currently available to us and will likely change as the pandemic progresses. As COVID-19 continues to spread throughout areas in which we operate, we believe the outbreak has the potential to have a material negative impact on our operating results and financial condition. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our operators, employees and vendors, and the impact on the Company’s ability to obtain debt and equity financing to fund ongoing exploration activities, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Given these uncertainties, we cannot reasonably estimate the related impact to our business, operating results and financial condition.

We expect the trends highlighted above with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to continue and, in some cases, accelerate. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s continued effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, the pace at which jurisdictions across the country re-open and restrictions begin to lift, the availability of government financial support to our business, tenants and operators and whether a resurgence of the outbreak occurs. Due to these uncertainties, we are not able at this time to estimate the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows but it could be material.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information presented in this Form 10-Q constitutes “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that include terms such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “believe,” “plan,” or the like, as well as all statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.

Overview

We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mineral rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

We have only had limited operations to date, and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant investors to fund our operations, as we have not generated any revenue.

Effective July 1, 2020, Magellan entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation (“Clearwater”) which owns certain unpatented mining claims in Idaho County, Idaho that include the historic Center Star Gold Mine near Elk City, Idaho. The Center Star Mine hosts high grade gold mineralization that was discovered in the early 1900’s. There was periodic historic production and development work done under different ownership through the 1980s. With the high-grade gold mineralization present, Magellan will be evaluating the historic mine data to assess the potential to develop a gold resource at Center Star. The project area is located 45 miles from Grangeville, Idaho and near the town of Elk City, Idaho.

In consideration for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Clearwater, Magellan has agreed to pay its sole shareholder 1,000,000 shares of Magellan common stock and $150,000 in cash. The cash consideration of $25,000 was paid and the balance of $125,000 is evidenced by a secured promissory note due in two years. The Note is secured by the Clearwater shares and assets.

Our primary focus is to advance our Idaho gold project towards resource definition and eventual development, and possibly to acquire additional mineral rights and conduct additional exploration, development and permitting activities. Our permitting applications and exploration and development efforts will require additional capital. We rely upon the sale of our securities as well as advances and loans from executive management and significant shareholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any significant revenue.

Operating expenses

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, our total operating expenses included general and administrative expenses of $59,194 as compared to $33,313 during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The $25,881 increase is primarily associated with increases in professional and consulting fees.

Operating expenses

The $27,638 increase is primarily associated with increases in professional and consulting fees.

Other income (expense)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, total other income was $98,975 as compared to other expense of $480,436 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $381,461 decrease was mainly related to the change in derivative liability and decrease of the amortization of debt discount in 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2023, we had not yet generated sufficient revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $19,789,476. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due, of which there can be no assurance.

Cash Flows

A summary of our cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities is as follows:

	Nine months ended September 30,

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have and have never had any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto. We consider critical accounting policies to be those that require more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements, including the following: long lived assets; intangible assets valuations; and income tax valuations. Management relies on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable in making its judgment and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Management believes its application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are periodically reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including Michael Lavigne, our Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to lack of segregation of duties, a limited corporate governance structure, and lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review as discussed in Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, there is an insufficient volume of transactions at this point in time to justify additional full time staff. We believe that this is typical in many exploration stage companies. We may not be able to fully remediate the material weakness until we commence mining operations, at which time we would expect to hire more staff. We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Sep. 30, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	*Basis of Presentation* We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiaries, Clearwater and M Gold. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Net Loss per Common Share	*Net Loss per Common Share* We compute basic net loss per common share by dividing our net loss attributable to common shareholders by our weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Computation of diluted net loss per common share adds the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding to the weighted-average common shares outstanding, as calculated for basic net loss per share, except for instances in which there is a net loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 72,000 stock options, 117,500 warrants, and 2,518,755 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 72,000 stock options, 117,500 warrants, and 1,916,904 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects.
Derivative Financial Instruments	*Derivative Financial Instruments* Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815. The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40-35-12 to determine the order in which each convertible instrument would be evaluated for derivative classification. The Company’s sequencing policy is to evaluate for reclassification contracts with the earliest maturity date first. Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	*Recent Accounting Pronouncements* The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Liquidity and Going Concern	*Liquidity and Going Concern* Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $1,778,602, we had not yet generated any significant revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $19,789,476. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due, of which there can be no assurance. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock but cannot assure that any future financing will occur.
