Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2020 and 2019
(Unaudited - in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, tables stated in millions of United States dollars)
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
Alamos Gold Inc. ("Alamos"), a company incorporated under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and extraction of precious metals. The Company owns and operates the Young-Davidson and Island Gold mines in Canada, as well as the Mulatos mine in Mexico. In addition, the Company owns the Kirazlı, Ağı Dağı and Çamyurt gold development projects in Turkey, the Lynn Lake gold project in Canada, the Esperanza gold project in Mexico, as well as an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Quartz Mountain gold project in Oregon, USA.
Alamos is a publicly traded company with common shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: AGI) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AGI).
The Company’s registered office is located at 181 Bay Street, Suite 3910, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2T3.
2. | BASIS OF PREPARATION |
Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as noted below.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The Company adopted the following accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards, effective January 1, 2020:
On October 22, 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations, that seek to clarify whether a transaction results in an asset or a business acquisition. The amendments include an election to use a concentration test. This is a simplified assessment that results in an asset acquisition if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If a preparer chooses not to apply the concentration test, or the test is failed, then the assessment focuses on the existence of a substantive process. The amendments apply to businesses acquired in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and did not have any impact on the Company in the period.
On September 26, 2019, the IASB issued amendments for some of its requirements for hedge accounting in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, as well as the related Standard on disclosures, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures in relation to Phase 1 of IBOR Reform and its Effects on Financial Reporting project.
The amendments are designed to support the provision of useful financial information by companies during the period of uncertainty arising from the phasing out of interest-rate benchmarks such as interbank offered rates (IBORs). The amendments modify some specific hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the IBOR reform. In addition, the amendments require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments are effective from January 1, 2020, and did not have any impact on the Company.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on October 27, 2020.

Long term inventory consists of long-term stockpiles which are expected to be recovered after one year.
The amount of inventories recognized in mining and processing costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $74.6 million and $229.0 million (three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 - $84.4 million and $256.6 million). The amount of inventories recognized in amortization costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $43.6 million and $107.3 million (three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 - $40.1 million and $120.8 million).
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company temporarily suspended operations at Island Gold and Mulatos due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, indirect production costs that exceeded normal operating capacity were expensed as incurred and not including in the inventory valuation. The Company identified indirect production costs of gold of $5.4 million that were expensed as incurred and not included in inventory in the second quarter of 2020. In addition, amortization costs of $1.1 million were reclassified to COVID-19 costs in the second quarter of 2020. All operating costs incurred subsequent to the mine-sites returning to planned operating levels have been included in mining and processing costs. As a result, there were no amounts classified as COVID-19 costs for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Fair values of financial instruments
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company does not have any non-recurring fair value measurements as at September 30, 2020. Levels 1 to 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable or unobservable, as follows:
• | Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
• | Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the net asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and |
• | Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |

The methods of measuring financial assets and liabilities have not changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The fair value of option and forward contracts are determined using a market approach with reference to observable market prices for identical assets traded in an active market. These are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The use of reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not significantly affect the Company’s results.
Derivative Instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is as follows:

Currency derivative instruments
The Company enters into option and forward contracts to hedge against the risk of an increase in the value of the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso versus the US dollar. These option and forward contracts are for the purchase of local currencies and the sale of US dollars, which settle on a monthly basis, and the Company believes this is an appropriate manner of managing currency risk.
The effective portion of the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income is:
