3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

New IFRS accounting standards and pronouncements – not yet adopted

 

IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

 

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”), which replaces IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company-specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management-defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are classified. Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB also made minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard.

 

The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this new standard to its financial statements.

 

New IFRS accounting standards and pronouncements –adopted

 

Amendments to IFRS 9: Financial Instruments and IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures

 

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to update classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9: Financial Instruments, and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. It also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features. The IASB added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs and amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 with early application permitted. The Company has adopted the amendments with no material impact to the current reporting period.

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that may have a material impact on the financial statements. Estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates. The Company’s critical accounting judgments and estimates have been consistently applied with those presented in Note 4 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024.

5. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

 

A summary of the Company’s trade and other receivables is as follows:

   December 31,
2025
 
   $   $ 
Trade receivables   31,117    20,371

Balance, non-current portion   41,624    36,249 
    135,884    124,648 

 

a)COMIBOL initial investment period CAPEX receivable

 

The COMIBOL initial investment period CAPEX receivable is a reimbursement of 22.5% of a pre-defined amount of capital investments made by the Company from 2012 to 2019 in the Illapa Joint Operation. The refundable amount becomes available for the Company to offset against amounts due to COMIBOL for its 55% interest in the operation over seven years from 2020 to 2026. If the joint operation does not produce sufficient positive cash flows, COMIBOL can defer payment until cash flows are positive at which point the amounts receivable can be used to reduce the amount due to COMIBOL for its 55% share of the interest in the operation. If the operation does not generate enough positive cash flows to offset amounts due, the outstanding amount receivable will be paid by COMIBOL at the end of the agreement. The classification between current and non-current has been made based upon management’s best estimate of when the receivable will be used to offset future payments to COMIBOL for its 55% interest.

 

The timing of the cash flows will vary depending on the operational results from the joint operation and how much is payable to COMIBOL for their 55% interest in the operation. Depending on estimates and actual results each period the asset will be revalued to reflect the timing of the expected cash flows and will be discounted using the same effective rate at acquisition resulting in recognizing a gain or loss on the re-estimation of cash flows related the CAPEX receivable.

9. CONSIDERATION PAYABLE

 

On March 18, 2022, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Sinchi Wayra and Illapa (the “Acquisition”) from Glencore plc (“Glencore”) under the terms and conditions outlined in the Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”). The SPA was amended on October 3, 2024 by entering into a definitive omnibus agreement.

 

The following table summarizes the consideration payable to Glencore under the omnibus agreement:

Balance, end of period   19,278    20,243 
Less: current portion   -    - 
Non-current portion   19,278    20,243 

 

a)Base purchase price

 

The base purchase price was to pay up to $80,000 in cash to Glencore in eight equal annual instalments of $10,000 each (the “Base Purchase Price” or “BPP”) with the first payment being made on or before November 1, 2025. The base purchase price obligation had an option to accelerate the payment of the outstanding balance reducing it to $40,000 if exercised prior to November 1, 2025. On September 4, 2025 the Company exercised the acceleration option and fully settled the base purchase price liability for $40,000.

 

b)Contingent value rights & additional payments

 

The Company granted a contingent value right (the “CVR”) to Glencore whereby the Company will pay Glencore a monthly payment of $1,333 (the “CVR Payment”), subject to a total cap of $77,700 (the “Valuation Cap”), in the event that in any calendar month after the date the parties enter into the Term Sheet, the average London Metal Exchange (“LME”) spot price of zinc (or the highest open hedge price if the Hedging Option (as defined below) has been exercised) in the calendar month is at least $3,850 per tonne (the “Base Price”). The CVR Payment will increase by $83 for each increase of $100 per tonne above the Base Price and up to a price of $5,049.99 per tonne.

9. CONSIDERATION PAYABLE (continued)

 

In addition to the CVR Payment, in the event the average LME spot price of zinc (or the highest open hedge price if the Hedging Option has been exercised) in a calendar month is at least $5,050 per tonne (the “Additional Payment Price”), the CVR Payment will increase by $83 for each increase of $100 per tonne above the Additional Payment Price and the Company will pay Glencore a monthly payment of $83 as a Bonus Payment that will increase by $83 for each increase of $100 per tonne above the Additional Payments Price. The Bonus Payment is not considered as part of the CVR Payment.

 

Upon the occurrence of the monthly average zinc LME spot price exceeding the Base Price, Glencore can require the Company to hedge a limited amount of zinc production from its Bolivian mining operations (so long as the hedging price would exceed the Base Price) subject to certain conditions (the “Hedging Option”).

 

The CVR and Additional Payments will be effective from the date of the omnibus agreement until the earlier of December 31, 2032 and the date the Valuation Cap is reached. The Additional Payments and the Hedging Option will terminate once the Company is no longer obligated to make CVR Payments.

 

The fair value at the initial recognition of the CVR was calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation with key inputs and assumptions including the zinc spot price ($2,974 per tonne), the expected price of zinc in each year until December 31, 2032, the market risk-free rate and credit spread and the volatility and variability of historical zinc prices.

 

The Company performed a valuation exercise as at March 31, 2026 and determined a fair value of the CVR of $19,278 (December 31, 2025 - $20,243). The gain on change in fair value attributed to the CVR was $965 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (2025 – loss of $359), which is recorded as an other expense (Note 17).

a)Bank facilities

 

The Company has a secured credit facility denominated in Bolivian Bolivianos with Banco BISA S.A. of BOB 55,000 ($6,064), which is comprised of 1) a revolving credit facility of BOB 48,800 ($5,380) for the financing of mining operations and working capital with a fixed interest rate between 6.0% and 10.00% per annum; and 2) a “loan guarantee” credit facility of BOB 6,200 ($684) for the purpose of providing collateral to the Bolivian government for VAT refunds collected prior to the completion of the audit process by the Bolivian tax authority. In Bolivia, companies have the option to receive VAT refunds in advance of the audit process being completed if a loan guarantee for the refund amount is provided. The BOB 55,000 ($6,064) total credit facility is secured by certain real estate assets in Bolivia.

 

The BOB 48,800 ($5,380) revolving credit facility for working capital purposes can be drawn down at BOB 3,480 ($384) increments and automatically rolls over at maturity once fully repaid. As at March 31, 2026, BOB 48,720 ($5,372) (December 31, 2025 – BOB 48,720 ($5,828)), was drawn down from this credit facility.

On April 24, 2025, Sociedad Minera Illapa S.A. obtained a 360-day bank loan from Banco BISA S.A. with a fixed interest rate of 6.0% per annum. The facility is secured by a standby letter of credit guarantee issued by Stifel Bank where the marketable securities are held as collateral (refer to note 20). As at March 31, 2026, the loan amount outstanding was BOB 90,500 ($9,978) (December 31, 2025 – BOB 90,500 ($10,825)).

 

The Company also has an unsecured revolving credit facility for working capital requirements and a loan guarantee with Banco de Crédito de Bolivia S.A. for a total of BOB 48,020 ($5,294). The credit facility has a weighted average fixed interest rate of 10.00% per annum and the weighted average interest rate on the loan guarantee facility is 2.0%.

 

As at March 31, 2026, BOB 50,078 ($5,521) (December 31, 2025 - BOB 50,078 ($5,990)) was drawn down on the credit facility and $208 (December 31, 2025 - $nil) was used on the loan guarantee. The credit facility has varying maturity dates between April and August 2026.

10. LOANS PAYABLE (continued)

 

c)Other loans payable

 

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company entered into contracts to sell trucks and machinery for net proceeds of $1,310. The Company subsequently leased the trucks and machinery back from the counterparty for a period of five years at a financing charge of 10.0% per annum and is required to make quarterly lease payments plus accrued interest. As the contracts provide the Company the right to repurchase the trucks and machinery at the end of the term for their residual value of 1%, the Company has an irrevocable right to repurchase the assets, and control of the assets did not transfer to the counterparty. Hence, these contracts are accounted for as financing transactions in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, rather than as sale and leaseback transactions under IFRS 16 - Leases. In accordance with IFRS 9, these contracts were recorded as a financial liability at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. As at March 31, 2026, the financial liability was $362 (December 31, 2025 - $446).

 

During December 2025, Sociedad Minera Illapa S.A. received BOB 20,000 ($2,392) from Banco BISA S.A. to cover payroll costs. The loan term is 180 calendar days and due on June 15, 2026. The loan is unsecured and has a fixed annual nominal rate of 10%.

 

d)Promissory notes

 

The San Lucas Promissory Notes Issuance program allows the Company to issue up to BOB 140,000 ($16,746) in the Bolivian stock market (Bolsa Boliviana de Valores). On February 20, 2025, the Company completed its first offering of BOB 70,000 ($7,718), the notes were denominated in Bolivian Bolivianos and had a 6.50% interest rate and a maturity date of February 15, 2026. On February 27, 2026, the Company repaid the notes settling the liability in full.

 

On August 8, 2025, the Company completed a second offering of BOB 70,000 ($7,718) in promissory notes under its San Lucas Promissory Notes Issuance program. The notes under the second offering have an interest rate of 7.00% and a maturity date of June 15, 2026 and are unsecured.

 

On April 8, 2026, the Company completed its third offering of BOB 70,000 ($7,718). The notes have an annual interest rate of 10.8168%, mature on March 22, 2027, and are unsecured.

 

In accordance with IFRS 9, these contracts were recorded as a financial liability at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The promissory notes require that San Lucas maintain a current ratio greater than 1.15, a debt service ratio greater than 1.5, and that the debt to equity ratio not exceed 1.85. The Company is fully compliant with all financial covenants stipulated as at March 31, 2026.

 

e)Bonds

 

On December 30, 2024, the Financial System Supervisory Authority (ASFI) authorized the San Lucas Bonds Program. The San Lucas Bonds program allows the Company to issue up to $40,000 of unsecured bonds in the Bolivian Stock market (Bolsa Boliviana de Valores), the bonds can be denominated in USD or Bolivian Bolivianos. As at March 31, 2026, no bonds have been issued under the program.

14. REVENUES

 

The Company’s sales revenue is generated from the following significant components:

 

   Three months ended March 31, 
   2026   2025 
   $   $ 
Sales revenue from mining operations (note 14(a))   68,601    52,491 
Sales revenue from ore processing (note 14(b))   58,928    17,823 
    127,529    70,314 

 

a)Sales revenue from mining operations

 

Sales revenue comes from the sale of metal concentrates which primarily contain silver and zinc but also includes lead and copper. All sales revenue from mining operations is generated from concentrate sales derived from ore that was extracted from the Company’s mineral properties. To generate revenues from the Company’s mineral properties, the Company is responsible and incurs costs for the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of those properties.

 

b)Sales revenue from ore processing

 

Sales revenue from ore processing comes from the San Lucas feed sourcing business located in Bolivia. The feed sourcing business generates revenue from the sale of metal concentrates derived from ore purchased from third-party miners. Third-party miners are paid based upon the metal content of the ore provided and the prevailing metal prices at the time of purchase. After purchasing the ore, the Company assumes full ownership of the ore and is responsible for the processing and sale of the final product which is metal concentrates. The San Lucas ore sourcing and trading business operates under a margin-based business model that maintains contribution margins by aligning ore purchase costs with its metallurgical content and optimizes mill capacity utilization.

18. INCOME TAX EXPENSE (continued)

 

c)Bolivia uncertain income tax position relating to tax year 2017

 

As part of the acquisition of the Bolivian operations, the Company assumed potential pre-acquisition income tax liabilities related to Bolivia’s 2017 tax year. The potential liability is from different tax positions regarding the deductibility of decommissioning and restoration provisions, depreciation of mineral properties, plant and equipment, undeclared income, and non-deductible expenses in the determination of the Bolivian current income tax.

 

As the matter relates to income tax, and there was uncertainty over whether the relevant authorities will accept the current tax treatment under the Bolivian tax law, management concluded that it meets the definition of an uncertain tax treatment within the scope of IAS 12 – Income Taxes and IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. In accordance with IFRIC 23, an entity shall consider whether it is probable (more likely than not) that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. If an entity concludes it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the entity shall determine the taxable income or loss consistent with the tax treatment applied in its income tax filings.

 

In 2023, the Bolivian tax authorities issued the tax reassessment of 132,559 BOB ($14,615), which included tax interest and penalties. The Company and the Bolivian tax authorities agreed on a financing arrangement (“financing arrangement”) by making an initial deposit of 40,479 BOB ($4,462) (which represented 35% of the total balance) in the second quarter of 2023, and monthly instalments for the remaining balance of 75,175 BOB ($8,288) were payable over five years until June 2028.

 

The Company successfully challenged the Bolivian tax authorities’ decision through legal proceedings with the Supreme Court of Justice and the Constitutional Court in Bolivia. On January 7, 2025 the Supreme Court of Justice ruled in favor of the Company by issuing sentence 188/2025 which nullified the previous rulings in favor of the tax authority and requires the tax authority issue a new assessment that is legally compliant. The tax authority appealed the decision during the second quarter of 2025, but the appeal was denied in October 2025. When the tax authority issues a new assessment updated for the items addressed by the court ruling management will determine whether or not to accept the new assessment or challenge it again. Management has concluded that the matter has been resolved, accordingly, the Company believes there is no current tax liability and has not recognized an expense or any liability related to this matter as at March 31, 2026.

 

Pursuant to the Sinchi Wayra and Illapa acquisition agreements, Glencore has agreed to indemnify the Company for up to a maximum of $25,000, in aggregate, for all claims and liabilities arising from the acquisition. Such indemnification would, subject to such cap and certain conditions, extend to income tax liabilities. In the unlikely event that the Company exhausts all avenues and receives an unfavourable ruling, the Company is indemnified by the acquisition agreements and would not be liable for any income tax liability up to $25,000.

 

As at March 31, 2026, the Company has remitted tax instalments totaling $8,624 inclusive of interest and penalties to the Bolivian tax authorities based on the financing arrangement mentioned in the third paragraph above. As the Company believes the current tax owing related to this matter is $nil and the amounts paid will ultimately be refunded to the Company, the total payment made to date of $8,624 has been recognized as “trade and other receivables” (Note 5). On February 27, 2026, the Company filed a formal refund request with the tax authority requesting the refund of the amounts paid. Due to the current legal status of the proceedings, management expects to receive the full amount and no valuation allowance has been recognized.

The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability based on unobservable market data.

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

 

Marketable securities consist of US treasury notes and US treasury bills which are held as part of the Company’s cash position and liquidity management strategy. The marketable securities are measured at fair value using level 1 inputs, the unrealized gain/loss is recorded as other comprehensive income and once the securities are sold or mature the corresponding gain/loss is recorded as other income/expense.

 

The securities are held with Stifel which uses a portion of the holdings as collateral for the Standby Letters of Credit that were issued to Banco BISA and Banco Credito de Bolivia (see note 10(a)). Although the securities held can be readily converted to cash, they are restricted to the extent that the amounts serve as collateral. The Standby Letter of credit issued to Banco BISA is for $10,000 and expires on May 26, 2026. The standby letter of credit issued to Banco Credito de Bolivia is for $5,800 and expires on March 26, 2026, and automatically renews each year. Since the standby letter of credit to Banco Credito de Bolivia will renew indefinitely, the amount held as collateral has been classified as non-current.

 

Trade receivables are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of trade receivables is measured based on inputs other than quoted prices for the underlying commodity prices (silver, lead, zinc, copper) to which the receivable relates as the trade receivables are provisionally priced at the time of sale.

 

The fair value of the loans payable for disclosure purposes is determined using discounted cash flows based on the expected amounts and timing of future cash flows discounted using a market rate of interest adjusted for appropriate credit risk.

 

Consideration payable, comprised of contingent value rights (see note 9(b)), is measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The fair value is calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation with key inputs and assumptions including the zinc spot price, the expected price of zinc in each year until December 31, 2032, the market risk-free rate and credit spread and the volatility and variability of historical zinc prices.

 

The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:

 

   March 31, 2026   December 31, 2025 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
   $   $   $   $   $   $ 
Assets                              
Marketable securities   22,232    -    -    22,462    -    - 
Trade and other receivables   -    31,117    -    -    20,371    - 
    22,232    31,117    -    22,462    20,371    - 
                               
Liabilities                              
Consideration payable   -    -    19,278    -    -    20,243 
    -    -    19,278    -    -    20,243 

 

The Company’s trade receivables arose from provisional concentrate sales and are valued using quoted market prices based on the forward London Metal Exchange for silver, zinc and lead and the London Bullion Market Association P.M. fix for silver.

 

The methodology and assessment of inputs for determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities as well as the levels of hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value remains unchanged from that at December 31, 2025.

 

The Company has exposure to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns. The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s trade receivables.

 

The Company has concentrate contracts to sell the zinc, lead and copper concentrates produced by all of the Company’s mines. Concentrate contracts are a common business practice in the mining industry. The terms of the concentrate contracts may require the Company to deliver concentrate that has a value greater than the payment received at the time of delivery, thereby introducing the Company to credit risk of the buyers of concentrates. Should any of these counterparties not honour purchase arrangements, or should any of them become insolvent, the Company may incur losses for products already shipped and be forced to sell its concentrates on the spot market or it may not have a market for its concentrates and therefore its future operating results may be materially adversely impacted. At March 31, 2026, the Company had receivable balances associated with buyers of its concentrates of $31,117 (December 31, 2025 - $20,371). The Company’s concentrate is sold to well-known and well-established international concentrate buyers.

 

The following financial assets represent the maximum credit risk to the Company:

 

  

March 31,

2026

   December 31,
2025
 
   $   $ 
Cash and cash equivalents   42,651    44,267 
Marketable securities   22,232    22,462 
Trade and other receivables   52,990    43,348 

 

Management constantly monitors and assesses the credit risk resulting from its concentrate sales, trading counterparties and customers. With the exception to the above, the Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows. The Company has in place a rigorous planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansion plans. The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations, its holdings of cash and marketable securities, and its committed loan facilities.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following tables summarize the remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities and operating and capital commitments on an undiscounted basis at March 31, 2026:

 

   <1
year
   1 – 2
years
   2 – 5

   >5

   Total 
   $   $   $   $   $ 
Trade payables and accrued liabilities   42,714    6,606    -    -    49,320 
Consideration payable – CVR & additional payments   2,319    5,372    11,927    6,840    26,458 
Loans payable   48,627    215    -    -    48,842 
Lease payments   39    35    35    -    109

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

 

Currency risk

 

The Company reports its financial statements in USD; however, the Company operates in jurisdictions that utilize other currencies. As a consequence, the financial results of the Company’s operations as reported in USD are subject to changes in the value of the USD relative to local currencies. Since the Company’s sales are denominated in USD and a portion of the Company’s operating costs and capital spending are in local currencies, the Company is negatively impacted by strengthening local currencies relative to the USD and positively impacted by the inverse.

 

The sensitivity of the Company’s net income to changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Bolivian boliviano, the Mexican peso and the Canadian dollar, would be as follows: a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Bolivian boliviano would change the Company’s net income by approximately $178, a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Mexican peso would change the Company’s net income by approximately $146, and a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Canadian dollar would change the Company’s net Income by approximately ($37).

 

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2026 are denominated in Canadian dollars, US dollars, Bolivian bolivianos and Mexican pesos and translated to US dollars as follows:

 

   CAD   BOB   USD   MXN   Total 
   $   $   $   $   $ 
Financial assets                         
Cash and cash equivalents   1,486    24,181    15,866    1,118    42,651 
Marketable securities   -    -    22,232    -    22,232 
Trade and other receivables   34    20,752    32,110    93    52,989 
    1,520    44,933    70,208    1,211    117,872 
                          
Financial liabilities                         
Trade payables and accrued liabilities   254    29,566    3,769    15,731    49,320 
Consideration payable   -    -    19,278    -    19,278 
Loans payable   -    48,842    -    -    48,842 
Other liabilities   -    10,265    6,901    2,079    19,245 
    254    88,673    29,948    17,810    136,685 
Net financial assets (liabilities)   1,266    (43,740)   40,260    (16,599)   (18,813)

 

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. As at March 31, 2026, the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk on interest bearing liabilities is limited to its consideration payable, debt facilities and lease liabilities. Based on the Company’s interest rate exposure at March 31, 2026, a change of 1% increase or decrease of market interest rate would impact the Company’s income or loss by approximately $489.

 

Price risk

 

Metal price risk is the risk that changes in metal prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its related financial instruments. The Company derives its revenue from the sale of silver, zinc, lead and copper. The Company’s sales are directly dependent on metal prices that have shown significant volatility and are beyond the Company’s control. Consistent with the Company’s mission to provide equity investors with exposure to changes in precious metal prices, the Company’s current policy is to not hedge the price of precious metal.

21. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND KEY MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION

 

The Company’s related parties include its subsidiaries, joint arrangements and key management personnel. During its normal course of operation, the Company enters into transactions with its related parties for goods and services. All related party transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, have been disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

 

These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the parties.

 

Remuneration of key management personnel

 

Key management includes directors of the Company, the COO, the CFO, the CEO and Executive Chairman, and other members of key management. Compensation to key management personnel was as follows:

 

   Three months ended March 31, 
   2026   2025 
   $   $ 
Management and consulting fees   695    682 
Share-based compensation   395    149 
    1,090    831 

 

Of the $695 in management and consulting fees incurred with related parties during the three months ended March 31, 2026, $57 (2025 - $56) was related to directors’ fees and $638 (2025 - $626) was related to management fees.

 

22. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief executive officer and the executive management team, collectively the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The Company primarily manages its business by looking at individual producing and developing resource projects as well as the aggregate of the exploration and evaluation properties and typically segregate these projects between production, development, and exploration.

 

Operating segments

 

Management has identified 5 reportable operating segments: the Bolivar mine and processing plant, the Porco mine and processing plant, the Caballo Blanco Group which includes the Tres Amigos, Colquechaquita mines and the Don Diego processing plant, the San Lucas Group which includes the Reserva mine and San Lucas feed sourcing business, Zimapan mine and processing plant, and Corporate and Other activities.

 

The Bolivar and Porco segment revenues, cost of sales, capital expenditures, total assets and total liabilities are presented on 100% basis even though the assets, liabilities, sales and expenses are recorded at 45% in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of comprehensive income because the Company’s interest meets the definition of a joint operation in accordance with IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements. The Illapa Joint Operations elimination column in the tables below shows the removal of COMIBOL’s 55% interest in Illapa’s operating results and assets and liabilities.

 

Under the Association Agreement, Illapa S.A. is the designated operator and holds exclusive, comprehensive responsibility for all technical, financial, labor, legal, and commercial aspects of the operations. The Agreement grants Illapa full control over the mining production chain, including the exclusive right to commercialize concentrates in both domestic and international markets and to manage all related commercial processes. Because the Company is responsible for overseeing all of the operations, the CODM evaluates the performance of the segment on a 100% gross basis.

Earnings per share – diluted   0.30    0.11 

 

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares of the Company outstanding during the period.

The following securities could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive:
