Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated, unaudited) |
1. Corporate information
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (formerly Americas Silver Corporation) (the “Company") was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on May 12, 1998 and conducts mining exploration, development and production in the Americas. The address of the Company’s registered office is 145 King Street West, Suite 2870, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 1J8. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “USA” and on the New York Stock Exchange American under the symbol “USAS”.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 13, 2019.
2. Basis of presentation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) which the Canadian Accounting Standards Board has approved for incorporation into Part 1 of the Handbook of Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were summarized in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements with the exception of “Leases”, which has been replaced by recent changes in accounting policies under Note 3 below. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis.
3. Changes in accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has adopted the following new accounting standard effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019:
(i) Leases
IFRS 16 - Leases - The standard on leases was issued in January 2016 and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 for public entities with early adoption permitted, provided IFRS 15 has been applied or is applied at the same date as IFRS 16. The standard requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach resulting in the recognition of additional assets and liabilities from right-of-use assets identified on the consolidated statement of financial position at January 1, 2019 with no restatement of prior year comparatives. Effective January 1, 2019, the adoption of IFRS 16 increased assets, liabilities, depreciation, interest and financing expense, and decreased corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company applied practical expedients to not recognize short-term leases or leases of low-value items on transition under IFRS 16.
From January 1, 2019, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception which is the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. A right-of-use lease asset and lease liability is recognized at the inception of a lease where the right-of-use lease asset is measured at cost and depreciated over a straight-line basis while the lease liability is measured as the present value of lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease and accreted using the effective interest method. Lease payments on short-term leases or leases of low-value items are expensed to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

4. Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018.
5. Acquisition of Pershing Gold Corporation
On April 3, 2019, the Company obtained control and completed the acquisition of Pershing Gold Corporation (“Pershing Gold”) via an agreement and plan of merger dated September 28, 2018. The merger was completed by the Company acquiring all the outstanding common and preferred shares of Pershing Gold through exchanging each outstanding Pershing Gold common share for 0.715 common shares of the Company and exchanging each outstanding Pershing Gold preferred share for 461.44 common or preferred shares of the Company. Outstanding Pershing Gold options and restricted share units were exchanged for the Company’s common share considerations and outstanding Pershing Gold warrants became exercisable for the Company’s common shares under the same exchange ratio.
The merger has been accounted for as a business combination with the Company identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes.
The consideration paid is calculated as follows:
Non-diluted Pershing Gold common shares outstanding, April 3, 2019 | 33,686,921 | |||
Implicit share exchange ratio | 0.715 | |||
The Company's common shares exchanged for Pershing Gold common shares | 24,085,928 | |||
The Company's common share price, April 3, 2019 (USD) | 1.55 | |||
Total common share consideration | $ | 37,418 | ||
Consideration on the exchange of Pershing Gold for the Company's equity instruments: | ||||
Preferred shares exchanged for common shares | 383 | |||
Preferred shares exchanged for preferred shares | 5,714 | |||
Restricted share units exchanged for common shares | 803 | |||
Warrants exchanged for warrants | 1 | |||
Total equity consideration | 44,319 | |||
Pre-existing convertible loan from the Company to Pershing Gold | 2,913 | |||
Total consideration | $ | 47,232 |
For the purpose of these financial statements, the purchase consideration has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s best estimates and taking into account all available information at the time of the acquisition as well as applicable information at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. Due to the underlying assumptions made in the valuation process, the determination of those fair values requires estimations of the effects of uncertain future events at the acquisition date and as a result the carrying amounts of some assets, particularly, property, plant and equipment, acquired through a business combination could therefore differ significantly in the future. As prescribed by IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, if the initial accounting for a business combination can be determined only provisionally by the end of the reporting period in which the combination is effected, the acquirer must account for the business combination using those provisional values and has a period, not to exceed twelve months, to complete the purchase price allocation. Any adjustment of the provisional amount of an identifiable asset acquired or liability assumed made as a result of completing the final accounting will be accounted for retrospectively to the original acquisition date.

The preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to final adjustments, is as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 241 | ||
Prepaid expenses | 609 | |||
Restricted cash | 3,787 | |||
Property, plant and equipment | 54,059 | |||
Trade and other payables | (5,454 | ) | ||
Decommission provision | (1,223 | ) | ||
Deferred tax liabilities | (4,787 | ) | ||
Net assets acquired | $ | 47,232 |
The acquisition of Pershing Gold by the Company was completed on April 3, 2019. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the determination of fair value of assets and liabilities acquired is based on preliminary estimates and has not been finalized. In particular, the fair values of the mining interests, property, plant and equipment, and related tax consequences and exposures have been determined provisionally. The actual fair values of these assets and liabilities may differ materially from the amounts disclosed in the preliminary fair value above and are subject to change. Management will complete its review of the fair values within twelve months of the acquisition date, in particular, the fair values of the mining interests, and property, plant and equipment with consideration to any resulting tax impact.
Acquisition related expenses of $2.4 million have been charged to transaction costs in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019.
These consolidated financial statements include Pershing Gold results from April 3, 2019 to September 30, 2019. The revenue from the sale of precious metals and net loss before income taxes included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss since April 3, 2019 contributed by Pershing Gold was nil and $1.0 million, respectively.
If Pershing Gold had been consolidated from January 1, 2019, on a pro forma basis, the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss would have included revenue of nil and net loss before income taxes of $2.8 million. In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the fair value adjustments that arose on the date of acquisition would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019.

As at January 1, 2019, the Company recognized $0.9 million of right-of-use assets from leases upon adoption of IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, where $0.1 million were from the Cosalá Operations, $0.3 million were from the Galena Complex, and $0.5 million were from Corporate and Other. The associated lease liabilities were classified into trade and other payables and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
On March 2, 2017, the Company entered into an option acquisition agreement with Impulsora Minera Santacruz S.A. de C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (“Santacruz”), to acquire an existing option with Minera Hochschild Mexico S.A. de C.V. (“Hochschild”) for the right to acquire a 100% interest of the San Felipe property located in Sonora, Mexico. As at December 31, 2018, the property purchase option was reclassified as an asset held-for-sale as its carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale. A write-down of $3.7 million was recorded for the year-ended December 31, 2018 to measure the asset held-for-sale at the lower of its carrying amount of $10.6 million and fair value less estimated costs to sell of $6.9 million. The Company made two of the remaining eight contractual quarterly option payments of $0.75 million to Hochschild during the first three quarters of 2019. Further details of the option are disclosed in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Non-current assets are tested for impairment or impairment reversals when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A write-down of $0.1 million was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of writing down carrying amounts of equipment to recoverable amounts. No other impairment or impairment reversal indicators were identified for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

The Company recognized a gain of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2018 related to proceeds received through
an insurance claim for equipment damaged from mining operations during fiscal 2017.
The amount of borrowing costs capitalized as property, plant and equipment was $0.2 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 (2018: nil) and $0.3 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 (2018: nil).
9. Convertible loans receivable and payable
On October 1, 2018, in connection with the acquisition with Pershing Gold (see Note 5), the Company entered into short-term secured convertible loan agreements with Mr. Pierre Lassonde and two other lenders (the “Lenders”) for $5.5 million CAD due July 1, 2019 with interest payable at 15% per annum (the “Convertible Loans Payable”). The Convertible Loans Payable had an extension option to mature on October 1, 2019 with interest payable at 18% per annum upon election by the Company.
The Company recorded a derivative asset of $0.2 million on initial recognition based on the estimated fair value of the extension option and recognized a loss of $0.2 million in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 as a result of the change in estimated fair value of the extension option (for the year ended December 31, 2018: $0.1 million loss).
The Convertible Loans Payable had an option to convert into common shares of the Company upon mutual election at a conversion price determined as the lower of $3.1231 CAD or the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common shares for five trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise. On initial recognition and as at December 31, 2018, the fair value of the conversion option was nil. Interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.3 million was recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively, in connection with the Convertible Loans Payable (for the year ended December 31, 2018: $0.2 million).
On April 3, 2019, the Company along with the Lenders have mutually elected to convert the Company’s outstanding Convertible Loans Payable into common shares of the Company in accordance with the Convertible Loans Payable agreement terms, resulting in the issuance of 2,763,518 of the Company’s common shares priced at approximately $2.09 CAD per share.
Under the terms of the Convertible Loans Payable, the Company issued 1,074,999 warrants to the Lenders where each warrant is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $3.1231 CAD for a period of 5 years. The holders of the warrants had a cashless exercise option to receive common shares of the Company equal to the fair value of the warrants, in lieu of exercising the warrants for cash. If so elected, the fair value of the warrants was determined by multiplying the number of warrants to be exercised by the market price of a common share less the warrants exercise price with the difference divided by the market price of the common share. There would be variability in the number of shares issued per warrant if a warrant holder exercises this option.
The Company recorded a derivative warrant liability on initial recognition of $1.3 million based on the estimated fair value of the warrants determined using the Black-Scholes warrant pricing model and recognized nil and a $0.1 million gain in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as a result of the change in estimated fair value of the derivative warrant liability (for the year ended December 31, 2018: $0.6 million gain). The derivative warrant liability was reclassified to equity reserve at fair value of $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2019 as the terms of the warrants were amended to remove the cashless exercise option available to the holders.
The net proceeds of the Convertible Loans Payable were used by the Company to fund a short-term secured first lien convertible loan to Pershing Gold due June 1, 2019 with interest payable at 16% per annum (the “Convertible Loan Receivable”) to address Pershing Gold’s near-term working capital requirements. The Company had funded $2.8 million of the Convertible Loan Receivable to Pershing Gold prior to acquisition on April 3, 2019. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Convertible Loan Receivable was consolidated on presentation with Pershing Gold’s respective convertible loan payable to the Company.
Further details of the Convertible Loans Payable and Convertible Loan Receivable are disclosed in Note 9 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

10. Sandstorm deferred revenue
On April 3, 2019, the Company entered into a $25 million precious metals delivery and purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) for the construction and development of Pershing Gold’s Relief Canyon Mine. The Purchase Agreement consists of a combination of fixed and variable deliveries from the Relief Canyon Mine. The $25 million advance is conditional upon, among other things, commencement of construction of the Relief Canyon Mine and the associated development plan and operational contracts. As at September 30, 2019, the Company obtained $10 million in advances from Sandstorm through the Purchase Agreement. The remaining $15 million in advances was obtained subsequent to September 30, 2019.
The Company recorded the advances received on precious metals delivery, net of transaction costs, as deferred revenue and will recognize the amounts in revenue as performance obligations to metals delivery are satisfied over the term of the Purchase Agreement. The advances received on precious metals delivery is expected to reduce to nil through deliveries of the Company’s own production to Sandstorm. The Company determined the amortization of deferred revenue on a per unit basis to be equal to the expected total deliveries of gold ounces over the term of the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement has a repurchase option for the Company exercisable at any time to reduce the variable deliveries to Sandstorm from 4% to 2% by delivering 4,000 ounces of gold plus additional ounces of gold compounded annually at 10%. On initial recognition and as at September 30, 2019, the fair value of the repurchase option was nil.
Interest expense of $0.1 million was capitalized as borrowing costs to property, plant and equipment for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 in connection with the accretion of a significant financing component determined from the advances received on precious metals delivery.
The following are components of deferred revenue as at September 30, 2019:
Advances received | $ | 10,000 | ||
Deferred transaction costs | (466 | ) | ||
Accretion on significant financing component | 80 | |||
Deferred revenue | 9,614 | |||
Less: current portion | (886 | ) | ||
Non-current portion | $ | 8,728 |
11. Convertible debenture
On April 3, 2019, the Company issued a $10 million convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”) to Sandstorm due April 3, 2023 with interest payable at 6% per annum and repayable at the Company’s option prior to maturity. The funds available under the Convertible Debenture included the principal amount of the $3 million unsecured, promissory note previously issued to Sandstorm by the Company.
The Convertible Debenture may be converted into common shares of the Company at Sandstorm’s option at a conversion price of $2.14 and may be prepaid at the Company’s option at any time prior to the maturity date. The Company recorded a net derivative liability of nil on initial recognition based on the estimated fair value of the conversion and prepayment option and recognized a loss of $1.6 million in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 as a result of the change in the estimated fair value of the conversion and prepayment option.
Interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million were capitalized as borrowing costs to property, plant and equipment for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively, in connection with the Convertible Debenture.
The initial fair value of the principal portion of the Convertible Debenture was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument at the issue date. The principal portion is subsequently recognized on an amortized cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option.

12. Glencore pre-payment facility
On January 29, 2017, the Company entered into a pre-payment facility for $15.0 million with Metagri S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of Glencore PLC (“Glencore”), to fund a portion of the development costs for the San Rafael project within the Cosalá district of Sinaloa, Mexico (the “Pre-Payment Facility”). The Pre-Payment Facility was drawn in full on March 30, 2017, has a term of four years at an interest of U.S. LIBOR rate plus 5% per annum, and is secured by a promissory note in the amount of up to $15.0 million issued by the Company, a corporate guarantee in favour of Glencore, and limited asset level security on the San Rafael project. The Company has also entered into four-year offtake agreements with Glencore for the zinc and lead concentrates produced from the San Rafael Mine where Glencore will pay for the concentrates at the prevailing market prices for silver, zinc and lead, less customary treatment, refining and penalty charges. Repayment of principal on the Pre-Payment Facility began in January 2018 as an additional tonnage charge on shipments of concentrate where $3.9 million was paid during the year ended December 31, 2018. Minimum annual principal repayments of $5.5 million are due during 2019 and $5.5 million are due during 2020. The Company paid $4.1 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.
13. Share capital

On July 26, 2019, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement with Mr. Eric Sprott for gross proceeds of $10 million through issuance of 3,955,454 of the Company’s common shares priced at approximately $3.30 CAD per share. As part of the non-brokered private placement, $0.4 million in transaction costs was incurred and 118,664 warrants were issued to the Company’s advisor where each warrant is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $3.37 CAD for a period of three years starting July 25, 2019.

The Company recognizes a cost in director fees and a corresponding increase in equity reserve upon issuance of deferred share units. As at September 30, 2019, 316,597 (December 31, 2018: 337,137) deferred share units are issued and outstanding.

19. Financial risk management
a. Financial risk factors
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on its financial instruments are summarized below:
(i) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the Company invests its cash in deposits with well-capitalized financial institutions with strong credit ratings in Canada and the United States. Under current concentrate offtake agreements, risk on trade receivables related to concentrate sales is managed by receiving payments for 85% to 100% of the estimated value of the concentrate within one month following the time of shipment.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s exposure to credit risk with respect to trade receivables amounts to $4.4 million (December 31, 2018: $6.1 million). The Company believes credit risk for Mexican Value Added Taxes of $0.6 million (December 31, 2018: $1.5 million) is not significant as they relate to current amounts receivable from Mexican taxation authorities. There is no significant provision recorded for expected credit losses at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company’s liquidity requirements are met through a variety of sources, including cash, cash generated from operations, existing credit facilities and debt and equity capital markets. The Company’s trade payables have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.
The following table presents the contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities on an undiscounted basis:

(iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk.
(1) | Interest rate risk |
The Company is subject to the interest rate risk of U.S. LIBOR rate plus 5% per annum from the existing Pre-Payment Facility. Interest rates of other financial instruments are fixed.
(2) | Currency risk |
As at September 30, 2019, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through financial assets and liabilities denominated in CAD and Mexican pesos (“MXP”):
Financial instruments that may impact the Company’s net loss or other comprehensive loss due to currency fluctuations include CAD and MXP denominated assets and liabilities which are included in the following table:
As at September 30, 2019 | ||||||||
CAD | MXP | |||||||

Trade and other receivables | 46 | 799 | ||||||
Trade and other payables | 1,332 | 6,893 |
As at September 30, 2019, the CAD/USD and MXP/USD exchange rates were 1.32 and 19.64, respectively. The sensitivity of the Company’s net loss and comprehensive loss due to changes in the exchange rates for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 is included in the following table:

The Company may, from time to time, employ derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had non-hedge foreign exchange forward contracts to buy approximately 104.0 million MXP at average exchange rate of 19.81 MXP/USD to be settled within the next year valued at approximately $5.3 million. The average forward exchange rate on settlement as at September 30, 2019 was approximately 19.81 MXP/USD with the currencies having a fair value of approximately $5.3 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of nil through profit or loss during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 (2018: unrealized gain of $0.2 million).
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company settled non-hedge foreign exchange forward contracts to buy approximately 32.0 million MXP (2018: 44.1 million MXP) and recorded a realized gain of $0.1 million through profit or loss (2018: realized gain of $0.2 million). During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company settled non-hedge foreign exchange forward contracts to buy approximately 152.0 million MXP (2018: 68.9 million MXP) and recorded a realized gain of $0.4 million through profit or loss (2018: realized gain of $0.1 million).
(3) | Price risk |
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments in the market. As at September 30, 2019, the Company had certain amounts related to the sales of concentrates that have only been provisionally priced. A ±10% fluctuation in silver, zinc, lead, copper and gold prices would affect trade receivables by approximately $0.4 million.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had non-hedge commodity forward contracts for approximately 4.4 million and 3.3 million pounds of zinc and lead, respectively, at average price of $1.21 and $0.95 per pound, respectively, to be settled within the next year valued at approximately $5.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The average forward prices on settlement as at September 30, 2019 was approximately $1.08 and $0.97 per pound of zinc and lead, respectively, with the commodities having a fair value of approximately $4.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively. Accordingly, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $0.5 million through profit or loss during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 (2018: nil).
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company settled non-hedge commodity forward contracts for approximately 6.5 million pounds of zinc (2018: 0.7 million pounds of zinc) and recorded a realized gain of $0.7 million through profit or loss (2018: realized gain of $0.1 million). During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company settled non-hedge commodity forward contracts for approximately 7.9 million pounds of zinc (2018: 1.4 million pounds of zinc and 2.6 million pounds of lead) and recorded a realized gain of $0.6 million through profit or loss (2018: realized gain of $0.5 million).
Net amount of gain or loss on derivative instruments from non-hedge foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts recognized through profit or loss during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 was gain of $1.4 million (2018: gain of $0.9 million). Total amount of gain or loss on derivative instruments including those recognized through profit or loss from the Company’s Convertible Debenture during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 was loss of $0.2 million (2018: nil).

b. Fair values
The fair value of cash, restricted cash, trade and other payables, and other long-term liabilities approximate their carrying amounts. The methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of other financial assets and liabilities are as follows:
● | Cash and cash equivalents: The fair value of cash equivalents is valued using quoted market prices in active markets. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market accounts held at financial institutions which have original maturities of less than 90 days. |
● | Trade and other receivables: The fair value of trade receivables from silver sales contracts that contain provisional pricing terms is determined using the appropriate quoted forward price from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular metal. As such, there is an embedded derivative feature within trade receivables. |
● | Convertible debenture: The principal portion of the convertible debenture is carried at amortized cost. |
● | Embedded derivatives: Revenues from the sale of metals produced since the commencement of commercial production are based on provisional prices at the time of shipment. Variations between the price recorded at the time of sale and the actual final price received from the customer are caused by changes in market prices for metals sold and result in an embedded derivative in revenues and accounts receivable. |
● | Derivatives: The Company uses derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage financial risks, including commodity, interest rate, and foreign exchange risks. The use of derivative contracts is governed by documented risk management policies and approved limits. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and at market prices at the valuation date. |
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value:
● | Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. |
● | Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |

21. Contingencies
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
In November 2010, the Company received a reassessment from the Mexican tax authorities related to its Mexican subsidiary, Minera Cosalá, for the year ended December 31, 2007. The tax authorities disallowed the deduction of transactions with certain suppliers for an amount of approximately $10.0 million (MXP 196.8 million), of which $4.3 million (MXP 84.4 million) would be applied against available tax losses. The Company appealed this reassessment and the Mexican tax authorities subsequently reversed $4.8 million (MXP 94.6 million) of their original reassessment. The remaining $5.2 million (MXP 102.2 million) consists of $4.3 million (MXP 84.4 million) related to transactions with certain suppliers and $0.9 million (MXP 17.8 million) of value added taxes thereon. The Company appealed the remaining reassessment with the Mexican Tax Court in December 2011. The Company may be required to post a bond of approximately $0.9 million (MXP 17.8 million) to secure the value added tax portion of the reassessment. The deductions of $4.3 million (MXP 84.4 million), if denied, would be offset by available tax losses. The Company accrued $1.0 million (MXP 19.9 million) in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2018 as a probable obligation for the disallowance of value added taxes related to the Mexican tax reassessment.
22. Subsequent events
The Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Mr. Eric Sprott effective October 1, 2019 for 40% non-controlling interest of the Company’s Galena Complex with initial contribution of $15 million to fund capital improvements and operations. Mr. Eric Sprott committed to contributing additional funds to support the ongoing operations alongside the Company in proportion of their respective ownership up to $5 million for the first year of operations with the Company contributing any potential excess as necessary. After the first year, contributions revert to the proportional percentage of ownership interests to fund capital projects and operations.
