NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in US dollars – Unaudited)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (“ITH” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s head office address is 1570 – 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. consists of ITH and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Tower Hill Mines, Inc. (“TH Alaska”) (an Alaska corporation), Tower Hill Mines (US) LLC (“TH US”) (a Colorado limited liability company), and Livengood Placers, Inc. (“LPI”) (a Nevada corporation). The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties, and either joint venturing or developing these properties further or disposing of them when the evaluation is completed. At June 30, 2025, the Company has a 100% interest in its Livengood Gold Project in Alaska, U.S.A (the “Livengood Gold Project”).
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
As at June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,845,065 compared to $992,487 at December 31, 2024. The Company has no revenue generating operations from which it can internally generate funds.
The Company will require significant additional financing to continue its operations (including general and administrative expenses) in connection with advancing activities at the Livengood Gold Project and the development of any mine that may be built at the Livengood Gold Project. There is no assurance that the Company will make a decision to build a mine at the Livengood Gold Project and, if so, that it will be able to obtain the additional financing required on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, any significant delays in the issuance of required permits for the ongoing work at the Livengood Gold Project, or unexpected results in connection with the ongoing work, could result in the Company being required to raise additional funds to advance permitting efforts. The Company’s review of its financing options includes considering a future strategic alliance to assist in further development, permitting and future construction costs, although there can be no assurance that any such strategic alliance will, in fact, be pursued or realized.
Despite the Company’s success to date in raising significant equity financing to fund its operations, there is significant uncertainty that the Company will be able to secure any additional financing in the current or future equity markets. The amount of funds to be raised and the terms of any proposed equity financing that may be undertaken will be negotiated by management as opportunities to raise funds arise. Specific plans related to the use of proceeds will be devised once financing has been completed and management knows what funds will be available for these purposes. As at August 7, 2025, management believes that the Company has sufficient financial resources to maintain its operations for the next twelve months.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2025 and the results of its operations for the six months then ended. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
9
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. While management believes the estimates to be reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.
On August 7, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
All currency amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless noted otherwise. References to C$ refer to Canadian currency.
Basis of consolidation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of ITH and its wholly-owned subsidiaries TH Alaska, TH US, and LPI. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the significance of the inputs used in making the measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
There were no financial instruments measured at fair value.
4. MINERAL PROPERTY

Livengood Gold Project Property
The Livengood property is located in the Tintina gold belt approximately 70 miles (113 kilometers) northwest of Fairbanks, Alaska. The property consists of land leased from the Alaska Mental Health Trust, a number of smaller private mineral leases, Alaska state mining claims purchased or located by the Company and patented ground held by the Company.
Details of the leases are as follows:
11
Title to mineral properties
The acquisition of title to mineral properties is a detailed and time-consuming process. The Company has taken steps to verify title to all mineral properties in which it has an interest. Although the Company has taken reasonable precautions to ensure that legal title to its properties is properly recorded in the name of the Company, there can be no assurance that such title will ultimately be secured.
5. ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Stock options
The Company adopted an incentive stock option plan in 2006, as amended September 19, 2012, and reapproved by the Company’s shareholders on May 28, 2015, May 30, 2018, May 25, 2021, and May 29, 2024 (the “Stock Option Plan”). The essential elements of the Stock Option Plan provide that the aggregate number of common shares of the Company that may be issued pursuant to options granted under the Stock Option Plan and any other share-based compensation arrangements may not exceed 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company at the time of the granting of options. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan will have a maximum term of ten years. The exercise price of options granted under the Stock Option Plan shall be fixed in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) Company Manual in force at the time of grant and, in any event, shall not be less than the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX on the trading day immediately preceding the day on which the option is granted, or such other price as may be agreed to by the Company and accepted by the TSX. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan vest immediately, unless otherwise determined by the Board at the date of grant.

Deferred Share Unit Incentive Plan
On April 4, 2017, the Company adopted a Deferred Share Unit Plan (the “DSU Plan”). The DSU Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders on May 24, 2017 and reapproved by the Company’s shareholders on May 27, 2020, May 25, 2021, and May 29, 2024. The maximum aggregate number of common shares that may be issued under the DSU Plan and the Stock Option Plan is 10% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares (on a non-diluted basis).
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, in accordance with the DSU Plan, the Company granted each of the members of the Board (other than those directors nominated for election by Paulson & Co. Inc.) 66,400 DSUs for a total of 332,000 DSUs with a grant date fair value (defined as the weighted average of the prices at which the common shares traded on the exchange with the most volume for the five trading days immediately preceding the grant) of C$1.25 per DSU, representing C$83,000 per director or C$415,000 in the aggregate.
Each DSU entitles the holder to receive one common share of the Company’s stock without the payment of any consideration. The DSUs vest immediately upon being granted, but the common shares underlying the DSUs are not deliverable to the grantee until the grantee is no longer serving on the Board.

8. COMMITMENTS
The following table discloses the Company’s contractual obligations as of June 30, 2025, including future anticipated mineral property payments. Under the terms of the Company’s mineral property purchase agreements, mineral leases and unpatented mineral claims, the Company is required to make certain scheduled acquisition payments, incur certain levels of expenditures, make lease or advance royalty payments, make payments to government authorities and incur assessment work expenditures (as summarized in the table below) in order to maintain and preserve the Company’s interests in the related mineral properties. If the Company is unable or unwilling to make any such payments or incur any such expenditure, it is likely that the Company would lose or forfeit its rights to acquire or hold the related mineral properties. The following table assumes that the Company retains the rights to all of its current mineral properties, but does not exercise any lease purchase or royalty buyout options:

Mineral property expenditures were $801,909 and $628,951 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The increase of $172,958 was primarily due to a higher advance minimum royalty payment for an increase of $150,724 and timing variances for land-related legal services for an increase of $32,136, partially offset by a decrease of $9,902 for environmental activities.
Excluding share - based costs of $382,682 and $296,510 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, consulting fees were $56,672 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $58,538 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The increase of $14,555 was primarily due to timing of payroll benefits.
Insurance costs were $65,136 and $51,211 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The increase of $13,925 was primarily due to a timing variance due to a change in insurance providers.
Regulatory costs were $32,966 and $26,689 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The increase of $6,277 was primarily due to timing variances for expenses related to services provided by the Company’s stock transfer agency.
Travel costs were $2,305 and $10,583 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease of $8,278 was primarily due to timing variances of actual travel.
Professional fees were $56,572 and $76,637 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease of $20,065 was primarily due to timing variances for legal services for a decrease of $19,868, accounting and tax services for a decrease of $2,503, and XBRL services for an increase of $2,306.
Excluding share-based payments, all other operating expense categories reflected only moderate changes period over period.

Excluding share-based costs of $430,979 and $297,373 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, consulting fees were $118,419 and $115,238 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The increase of $3,181 was primarily due to services provided to determine valuation of options granted to certain contractors that vest if certain market conditions are met.
Excluding share-based costs of $73,735 and $57,829 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, wages and benefits were $417,921 and $410,016 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

5,267
4,131

Share-based payment charges were $509,981 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $359,333 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $150,648 was mainly the result of equity compensation issued or granted to certain contractors of the Company on December 2, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Other items amounted to total other expense of $168,365 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to total other income of $121,809 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. As a result of the impact of exchange rates on certain of the Company’s U.S. dollar cash balances, the Company had a foreign exchange loss of $208,431 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a gain of $64,435 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The average exchange rate during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was C$1 to $0.7098, compared to C$1 to $0.7361 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Interest income was $40,066 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $57,374 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of $17,308 was primarily due to short-term investment certificates being invested at a lower interest rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has no revenue generating operations from which it can internally generate funds. To date, the Company has predominantly financed its ongoing operations through the sale of its equity securities by way of public offerings and private placements and the subsequent exercise of share purchase and broker warrants and options issued in connection with such private placements.
As at June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,845,065 compared to $992,487 at December 31, 2024. The increase of approximately $1.9 million resulted mainly from net financing activities of $3.8 million, partially offset by operating activities of $1.7 million and negative foreign exchange impact of $0.2 million.
19
Financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of the Private Placement pursuant to which the Company issued 8,192,031 common shares to existing major shareholders to raise gross proceeds of approximately $3.9 million.
Financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of a private placement that closed in January 2024 pursuant to which the Company issued 3,807,911 common shares to existing major shareholders to raise gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million.
The Company had no cash flows from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024.
As at June 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $2,902,972 compared to working capital of $959,703 at December 31, 2024. The Company expects that it will operate at a loss for the foreseeable future but believes the current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to cover the anticipated 2025 work plan at the Livengood Gold Project and satisfy its currently anticipated general and administrative costs through at least the next 12 months.
The Company will require significant additional financing to continue its operations (including general and administrative expenses) in connection with advancing activities at the Livengood Gold Project and the development of any mine that may be built at the Livengood Gold Project. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional financing required on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, any significant delays in the issuance of required permits for the ongoing work at the Livengood Gold Project, or unexpected results in connection with the ongoing work, could result in the Company being required to raise additional funds to advance permitting efforts. The Company’s review of its financing options includes considering a future strategic alliance to assist in further development, permitting and future construction costs, although there can be no assurance that any such strategic alliance will, in fact, be pursued or realized.
Despite the Company’s success to date in raising significant equity financing to fund its operations, there is significant uncertainty that the Company will be able to secure any additional financing in the current or future equity markets. See “Risk Factors – We will require additional financing to fund exploration and, if warranted, development and production. Failure to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation and could cast uncertainty on our ability to continue as a going concern” included in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Other than cash held by its subsidiaries for their immediate operating needs in the United States, all of the Company’s cash reserves are on deposit with a major Canadian chartered bank. The Company does not believe that the credit, liquidity or market risks with respect thereto have increased as a result of current market conditions.
Our anticipated expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2025 are approximately $3.7 million, which are expected to be funded from cash on hand. These expenditures include $0.9 million for mineral property leases and mining claim government fees and $2.8 million for general corporate and administrative purposes. Expenditures for mineral property leases and mining claims government fees are anticipated to be approximately $0.9 million in 2026 and $0.9 million in 2027. See Note 8 to the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information regarding the Company’s known contractual obligations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
For a discussion of the accounting judgments and estimates that the Company’s management has identified as critical in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, please see “Critical Accounting Estimates” under Part II. Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Environmental Regulations
The operations of the Company may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders
The Company believes that it has been a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes in recent years and expects to continue to be a PFIC in the future. Current and prospective U.S. shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of PFIC classification and the U.S. federal tax treatment of PFICs. Additional information on this matter is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, under Part II. Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders.”
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2025, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act: (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
The effectiveness of our or any system of disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the system will be met and is subject to certain limitations, including the exercise of judgement in designing, implementing and evaluating controls and procedures and the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under the heading “Risk Factors.”
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, issuers that are operators, or that have a subsidiary that is an operator, of a coal or other mine in the United States are required to disclose specified information about mine health and safety in their periodic reports. These reporting requirements are based on the safety and health requirements applicable to mines under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”) which is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”). During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries were not subject to regulation by MSHA under the Mine Act and thus no disclosure is required under Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
