5.Segment information

The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CEO makes decisions with respect to allocation of resources and assesses performance of the Group. The Group is organised and operates in one single operating segment focused on the mining and production of copper and silver from the CSA mine. As such the performance of the Group is assessed and managed in totality.

The CEO primarily uses a non-IFRS measure of adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (see Adjusted EBITDA below) to assess the performance of the Group. The CEO also receives information about the Group’s revenue on a monthly basis. Information about the Group’s revenue is disclosed in Note 6.

​

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of significant items of income and expenditure which might have an impact on the quality of earnings such as restructuring costs, legal expenses and impairments where the impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring event. It also excludes the effects of equity-settled share-based payments and unrealised gains or losses on financial instruments.
