Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the effect of changes in metal prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. Derivative gains and losses are included in operating cash flows in the period in which they contractually settle. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives designated as hedges to either recognized assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions and assessing, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the hedging relationships.
Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Strategies
To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices, particularly during times of elevated capital expenditures, in the past the Company has entered into forward contracts. The contracts were net settled monthly, and if the actual price of gold or silver at the time of expiration is lower than the fixed price or higher than the fixed price, it resulted in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding derivative cash flow hedge instruments.
The effective portions of cash flow hedges were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) until the hedged item was recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of metal sales revenue were recognized as a component of Revenue in the same period as the related sale is recognized.
The following table sets forth the after-tax gains (losses) on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that have been included in AOCI and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively (in thousands):

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Provisional Metal Sales
The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters, refiners and off-take customers which, in some cases, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable recorded at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked to market through earnings each period until final settlement.
The Company acquired existing zero cost collar hedges for 1,600 ounces of gold and 200,000 ounces of silver on February 14, 2025 as part of its acquisition of SilverCrest that settled monthly through March 2025. The Company had no outstanding gold or silver hedging contracts at June 30, 2025.

Credit Risk
The credit risk exposure related to any derivative instrument is limited to the unrealized gains, if any, on outstanding contracts based on current market prices. To reduce counter-party credit exposure, the Company enters into contracts with institutions management deems credit-worthy and limits credit exposure to each institution. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties.
