| 1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
GCM Mining Corp. (the “Company” or “GCM”) is a publicly listed entity incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The head office of the Company is located at 401 Bay Street, Suite 2400, PO Box 15, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2Y4 and its registered office is at 1166 Alberni Street, Suite 1604, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3Z3. The Company also has offices in Medellin and Bogota, Colombia and Georgetown, Guyana. The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and operation of mineral properties in Latin America.
| 2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
The interim financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, except as disclosed herein.
The interim financial statements do not include all the disclosures included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021. These interim financial statements were approved by the Audit Committee of the Company for issue on August 11, 2022.
The interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value, and are presented in U.S. dollars, rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated. They have been prepared on a going concern basis assuming that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due for the foreseeable future.
Consolidation
These financial statements comprise the financial results of the Company, including its subsidiaries, at June 30, 2022 as follows:

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries and associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
The consolidated financial statements also include the Company’s equity interests in associates as outlined in Note 5. Investments in Aris Gold Corporation (“Aris”), Denarius Silver Corp. (“Denarius”) and Western Atlas Resources Inc. (“Western Atlas”) are all accounted for using the equity method. As Denarius and Western Atlas are listed on the TSXV, pursuant to which financial reporting typically occurs later than it does for the Company, which is listed on the TSX, the Company uses the financial statements of Denarius and Western Atlas reported for the quarter ended three months earlier in determining its share of the comprehensive income or loss.

GCM Mining Corp.
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
(Unaudited; Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)
The Company adopted the following amendment to accounting standards, effective January 1, 2022:
IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment
In May 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS16”), to prohibit the offsetting to property, plant and equipment of amounts received from selling items produced while preparing an asset for its intended use. Instead, sales proceeds and related costs must be recognized in profit or loss. The amendment requires companies to distinguish between costs associated with producing and selling items before the item of property, plant and equipment is available for use and costs associated with making the item of property, plant and equipment available for its intended use. The Company adopted the revision to IAS 16 when it became effective on January 1, 2022, with no impact on adoption.
New accounting standards issued but not effective
IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements
The IASB has issued an amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements providing a more general approach to the classification of liabilities. The amendment clarifies that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current depends on the rights existing at the end of the reporting period as opposed to management’s intentions or expectations of exercising the right to defer settlement of the liability. Management would classify debt as non-current only when the Company complies with all the conditions at the reporting date. The amendments further clarify that settlement of a liability refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services to the counterparty.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and are to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The extent of the impact of adoption of this standard has not yet been determined.
IAS 8 – Definition of Accountings Estimates
The IASB has issued an amendment to IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to introduce a new definition for accounting estimates, clarifying that they are monetary amounts in the financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. The amendments also clarify the relationship between accounting policies and accounting estimates by specifying that a company develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective set out by an accounting policy.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The extent of the impact of adoption of this standard has not yet been determined.
IAS 12 – Income Taxes
The IASB has issued an amendment to IAS 12 – Income Taxes to narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption (IRE) so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The extent of the impact of adoption of this standard has not yet been determined.

| i. | Loss of control in Aris |
On February 4, 2021, Aris issued 37,777,778 common shares, decreasing the Company’s equity interest in Aris from 53.5% to 44.3%. The reduction in the Company’s equity interest and the change in management of Aris resulted in a loss of control. Accordingly, the Company derecognized related assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest related to Aris on February 4, 2021. These interim financial statements include the results of Aris from January 1 to February 4, 2021, which is the date of loss of control.
The gain on loss of control in Aris recognized in the statement of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $56.8 million represents the fair value of the investment on February 4, 2021 less the net assets of Aris, non-controlling interest and accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.
In addition, as result of the loss of control of Aris, $9.8 million in transaction costs associated with the change of control compensation to the previous management of Aris was recognized within Aris transaction costs in the statements of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $3.5 million of unrealized gains related to credit risk changes on the Aris Gold Notes accumulated in other comprehensive loss was recognized as a credit to deficit in the consolidated statement of equity during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

| (2) | Recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) during the six months ended June 30, 2022. |
As at June 30, 2022, the Company owns a total of 60,991,445 common shares of Aris representing a 44.3% equity interest in Aris (December 31, 2021 – 44.3%).

Aris Listed Warrants
The Aris Listed Warrants, which trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol ARIS.WT, entitle the Company to acquire one common share of Aris until July 29, 2025 at a price of CA$2.75. Aris may accelerate the expiry date of the Aris Listed Warrants after July 29, 2023 in the event that the closing price of the Aris common shares on the TSX is greater than CA$2.75 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. In such case, unless exercised, the Aris Listed Warrants will expire on the 30th day following the date on which such notice is given, and a press release is issued.
The Aris Listed Warrants are derivative instruments and have been designated at FVTPL. As such, they were recognized at fair value on initial recognition and subsequently they are remeasured with the change in fair value being recognized in the statement of operations. The fair value of the Aris Listed Warrants as at June 30, 2022 was determined based on their last traded price, a level 1 fair value input, of CA$0.31 (equivalent to approximately $0.24) per Aris Listed Warrant. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $0.1 million and a loss of $1.4 million, respectively, (2021 – a loss of $2.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively) related to its Aris Listed Warrants (Note 15).
Aris Unlisted Warrants
The Aris Unlisted Warrants entitle the Company to acquire one common share of Aris until December 19, 2024 at a price of CA$3.00. The Aris Unlisted Warrants are derivative instruments and have been designated at FVTPL. As such, they were recognized at fair value and subsequently they are remeasured with the change in fair value being recognized in the statement of operations. As at June 30, 2022, the fair value was determined by reference to the Aris Listed Warrants. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a gain of less than $0.1 million and a loss of $0.5 million, respectively, (2021 – a loss of $0.8 million and $1.4 million respectively) related to its Aris Unlisted Warrants (Note 15).
Aris Gold Notes
The Aris Gold Notes were issued in November 2020 and mature in November 2027. The Aris Gold Notes are secured over all the assets of Aris and receive interest monthly in cash at a rate of 7.5% per annum.
The Aris Gold Notes trade on the NEO Exchange under the symbol “ARIS.NT.U” and are a financial asset designated at FVTPL. The fair value of the Aris Gold Notes as at June 30, 2022 was determined based on their last traded price, a level 1 fair value input, of $98.50. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a loss of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively (2021 – a gain of $0.1 million and a loss of $0.1 million, respectively), representing the total fair value decrease of the Aris Gold Notes (Note 15).
Quarterly amortizing payments, including principal and gold premium (if applicable), commenced in November 2021 and are scheduled to be paid by Aris in February, May, August and November of each year to maturity. In February and May 2022, the Company received quarterly amortizing payment in the amount of approximately $0.2 million each.
Aris Debenture
On April 12, 2022, the Company acquired a $35.0 million convertible senior unsecured debenture from Aris (“Aris Debenture”). The Aris Debenture is due, in cash, on October 12, 2023. At any time after 12 months, the Aris Debenture may be converted, in whole or in part, at the Company’s sole discretion into common shares of Aris at a conversion price of $1.75 per share.

On August 9, 2021, the Company issued $300 million face value of Senior Notes for net cash proceeds of $286.0 million after discount and transaction costs. The Senior Notes mature on August 9, 2026. The Senior Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars and bear interest at the rate of 6.875% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears in equal semi-annual instalments on February 9 and August 9 of each year.
The Company’s subsidiaries which directly own the Segovia Operations and the Toroparu Project have provided unsecured guarantees for the Senior Notes.
Prior to August 9, 2023, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, prior to August 9, 2023, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the original

aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.875% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
On and after August 9, 2023, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the relevant redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Senior Notes) and accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes up to the redemption date. The redemption price for the Senior Notes during the 12-month period beginning on August 9 of each of the following years is: 2023 – 103.438%; 2024 – 101.719%; 2025 and thereafter – 100 %.
The prepayment options are options that represent an embedded derivative asset to the Company and are presented as an offset to the Senior Notes on the consolidated balance sheet. The debt component was initially recognized at $286.8 million, which represents the difference between the fair value of the financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the embedded derivative and transaction costs. Subsequently, the debt component is recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The embedded derivative represents the prepayment option and is considered to be a financial asset at FVTPL. The embedded derivative is recognized at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of earnings.
The discount and transaction costs incurred on issuance of the Senior Notes totaling $14.0 million have been offset against the carrying amount of the Senior Notes and are being amortized to net income using the effective interest method, resulting in an effective interest rate of 7.944%, including the 6.875% coupon.

| a) | Reclamation and rehabilitation provision (“ARO”) |
The ARO provision recorded by the Company represents management’s best estimate of the future reclamation and remediation obligation for its Segovia Operations and does not include any future costs related to reclamation and remediation in the Toroparu Project still to be constructed. The estimated amount, and timing thereof, of the future reclamation and remediation costs is inherently uncertain and will be revised as further

information becomes available. Actual future expenditures and timing may therefore differ materially from the amounts currently provided.
Environmental obligations for the Company’s Segovia Operations are governed by an environmental management plan which has been filed with the local environmental authority and is updated periodically. Although the Company is not currently required under its environmental management plan to prepare a comprehensive closure plan for its Segovia Operations, the Company has estimated the undiscounted costs to be incurred with respect to mine closure cost and reclamation activities, including tailings storage facilities, to be approximately COP 50.6 billion, equivalent to approximately $12.3 million at the June 30, 2022 exchange rate (December 31, 2021 – COP 50.6 billion, equivalent to $12.7 million).
Estimated costs underlying the Company’s ARO provision have been discounted to their present value using the following assumptions:
| Expected date of expenditures |
Inflation rate | Pre-tax risk free rate |
Undiscounted cash flow |
|||||||||||||
| Segovia Operations |
2022-2030 | 2.98 | % | 11.35 | % | $ | 12,255 | |||||||||
| b) | Environmental fees |
The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to Colombian laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. Colombian regulations provide for fees applicable to entities discharging effluents to river basins.
In July 2013, Corantioquia, the local environmental authority, issued a resolution assessing fees totalling COP 29.5 billion (equivalent to approximately $7.1 million at the June 30, 2022 exchange rate) for environmental discharges in 2010 and 2011 at tariff rates that significantly exceeded the applicable rates that the Company believes were in effect for those particular periods. In November 2013, after further appeal to Corantioquia to appropriately amend the assessments, the Company initiated proceedings in the Colombian judicial system to seek a reduction in the assessed fees. The matter is currently still in process in the judicial system. The Company has a provision in the amount of COP 13.7 billion (approximately $3.3 million at the June 30, 2022 exchange rate) related to the present value of its best estimate of the potential liability for these fees (December 31, 2021 – COP 13.7 billion equivalent to approximately $3.4 million).
The Company’s operations are monitored by Corantioquia in accordance with its environmental management plan and may be subject to investigations of its performance under the plan. The Company has taken steps over the years through capital investments in its gold processing plant, a water treatment facility and the expansion of its tailings storage facilities to minimize and eliminate effluent discharges and improve atmospheric emissions. In September 2021, the Company received notice from Corantioquia of a sanction in the amount of COP 5.1 billion (equivalent to approximately $1.2 million) related to an investigation of effluent discharges in 2016 that is currently under appeal from the Company. At June 30, 2022, the Company has a provision in the amount of $2.3 million (December 31, 2021 - $2.3 million) related to the present value of its best estimate of the potential liability for fees associated with this sanction and other investigations currently in process related to incidents in 2016 to 2018 for which Corantioquia has not yet reached a conclusion. There can be no assurance that ongoing or future investigations of the Company’s performance under its environmental management plan will not result in the assessment of fees and/or fines. In such cases, the Company will review the basis of environmental assessments and file appeals, if deemed appropriate for the circumstances, to reduce or cancel the amounts assessed.
| c) | Health plan obligations |
The Company has an obligation in connection with the 2010 acquisition of the assets of the Segovia Operations, as part of its purchase consideration, to fund the obligatory ongoing health premiums related to the participants of the previous owner’s pension plan. The health plan obligation of COP 40.5 billion (approximately $9.8 million) is based on an actuarial report prepared as at December 31, 2021 with an inflation rate of 3.4% and a discount rate of 8.5%. The Company is currently paying approximately COP 0.2 billion (approximately less than $0.1 million) monthly to fund the obligatory health plan contributions. At June 30, 2022, non-current cash in trust includes approximately $0.6 million deposited in a restricted cash account as security against this obligation (December 31, 2021 - $0.6 million).

Listed Warrants (GCM.WT.B)
The Listed Warrants expire on April 30, 2024 and represent a financial liability as the exercise price of CA$2.21 per share is denominated in Canadian dollars, different from the Company’s US dollar functional currency. As such, they were recognized at fair value at inception and subsequently they are remeasured with the change in fair value being recognized in the statement of operations. The fair value of the Listed Warrants as at June 30, 2022 was determined based on their last traded price, a level 1 fair value input, of CA$1.30 (equivalent to approximately $1.01) per 2024 Warrant.
Unlisted Warrants
The Company has unlisted share purchase warrants outstanding related to a private placement completed in 2019 (the “2019 PP Warrants”) and the 2020 PP Warrants. These unlisted warrants represent a financial liability as the exercise price is denominated in Canadian dollars, different from the Company’s US dollar functional currency. As such, they were recognized at fair value at inception and, subsequently, they are remeasured with the change in fair value being recognized in the statement of operations.
At June 30, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s Unlisted Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following inputs:

On April 1, 2022, a total of 163,686 PSUs were granted to executive officers and senior management at a price of CA$5.84 per share which will vest on March 31, 2025.
The changes to the PSU liability during the six months ended June 30, 2022 are summarized as follows:
| Amount | ||||
| Balance, January 1, 2022 |

The fair value of the PSU liability at June 30, 2022 was determined using the actual value of the PSUs which vested on June 30, 2022 and, for the PSUs that will vest in 2023 and 2024, using Monte Carlo simulations that capture all the features of the PSUs and level 2 fair value inputs.
| 11. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
The nature of the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of gold properties exposes the Company to risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and credit risk. The Company may at times enter into risk management contracts to mitigate these risks. It is the Company’s policy that no speculative trading in derivatives shall be undertaken.
| a) | Credit risk |

December 31, 2021 |
|||||||
| Trade accounts receivable |
$ | 226 | $ | 80 | ||||
| VAT receivable |

| Other, net of allowance for doubtful accounts |
1,157 | 2,256 | ||||||
| Total accounts receivable and other |
$ | 14,721 | $ | 29,566 | ||||
The exposure to credit risk arises through the failure of a third party to meet its contractual obligations to the Company. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from the Company’s cash balances, which are held with highly rated Canadian, U.S. and Colombian financial institutions, VAT and other accounts receivable. Timing of collection for the VAT receivables is in accordance with the local tax authority’s regulations. As at June 30, 2022, the Company expects to recover the outstanding amount in the next 12 months.
The Company delivers all of its production under a refining agreement with an international customer from whom it receives 99.5% of the sales proceeds upon delivery of its production to an agreed upon transfer point in Colombia and the balance within a short settlement period thereafter. In the event that this customer is unable to perform under the contractual arrangement, the Company does have other avenues through which it can sell its production.
| b) | Foreign currency risk |
The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Such exposure arises primarily from:
| • | translation of foreign currency components that have a functional currency, such as COP, which differ from the USD functional currency of the Company. The impact of such exposure is recorded through Other Comprehensive Income per IAS 21. |
| • | translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, such as the Canadian dollar (“CA”) and Guyanese Dollar (“GYD”). The impact of such exposure is recorded in the statement of operations. |

The following table summarizes, in USD equivalents, the Company’s major currency exposures as at June 30, 2022:

Based on the net exposure at June 30, 2022, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the CA against the USD would result in a $2.1 million increase or decrease in the Company’s after-tax net income and a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the COP against the USD would result in a $1.3 million decrease or increase in the Company’s other comprehensive income.
| c) | Price risk |
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Gold and silver prices can be subject to volatile price movements, which can be material and can occur over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors, all of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company has not designated commodity hedging contracts as accounting hedges under IFRS 9. As at June 30, 2022, the Company holds 1,500 ounces of gold bullion with a carrying value of approximately $2.7 million.
In January and early February 2022, the Company entered into a price protection program on 35,000 ounces of future gold production through zero cost collars, spread equally over the period from February 2022 through August 2022. The floor price of the gold collars varies with a range between $1,775 per ounce to $1,850 per ounce (a weighted average of $1,789 per ounce) and the ceiling price of the gold collars varies with a range between $1,875 per ounce to $1,950 per ounce (a weighted average of $1,889 per ounce). The gold collars represent European-style put and call options that are settled in cash as they expire at the end of each month. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, call options on 15,000 ounces of gold were exercised by the option holder and the Company recorded a loss on commodity hedging contracts of approximately $0.5 million. (Note 15). Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company exercised its put option at $1,800 per ounce at the end of July 2022 on 5,000 ounces of gold realizing a gain of $0.4 million. The remaining contracts in place cover 5,000 ounces of gold at the end of August 2022 with a put option at $1,850 per ounce and a call option at $1,950 per ounce.
| d) | Fair value risk |
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
IFRS requires an entity to classify financial assets and liabilities that are recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value in a hierarchy that is based on significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The levels in the hierarchy are:
| • | Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and, |
| • | Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs). |
For financial instruments that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing their classification (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting

period. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, cash in escrow, cash in trust, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and taxes payable, approximate their carrying values due to the short term to maturity of these financial instruments.
| e) | Capital management |
The Company’s objectives, when managing capital, are to safeguard cash as well as maintain financial liquidity and flexibility in order to preserve its ability to meet financial obligations and deploy capital to develop its mining properties into production and to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence to sustain the future development of the business. The Company considers its capital structure to include equity attributable to its shareholders and non-controlling interest of $507.4 million (2021 – $478.5 million) and its debt of $310.9 million (2021 – $314.3 million).
The Company’s financial strategy is designed to maintain a flexible capital structure consistent with the objectives stated above and to respond to business growth opportunities and changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may, from time to time, issue new shares, issue new debt (secured, unsecured, convertible and/or other types of debt instruments), acquire or dispose of assets or adjust its capital spending to manage its ability to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2022, other than certain restrictive covenants related to incurring additional indebtedness under the terms of the Senior Notes, the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
| f) | Liquidity risk |
The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast cash flow requirements. The Company’s financial obligations currently consist of the following:
| • | Accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These arise during the normal course of business and are paid from operating cash flow, and except under certain exceptions, are usually due within no later than one month. The Company from time to time may also enter into payment plans to pay these amounts over extended periods, typically less than 12 months. |
| • | Amounts payable for acquisitions of mining interests: Principally represents compensation agreements with artisanal miners in Zona Alta at Marmato. Payments related to these compensation agreements have been suspended by the Company since 2013 and the Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to these compensation agreements. |
| • | Lease obligations: These obligations represent lease payments related to ROU assets over the life of the lease contracts (Note 8). |
| • | Long-term debt: The Senior Notes are carried at amortized cost. The Convertible Debentures are carried at fair value and no principal repayment is required until the date of maturity on April 5, 2024. |
The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts payable for acquisitions of mining interests approximates their respective fair values as they are short-term in nature.
The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that are carried at fair value in accordance with the classification of fair value input hierarchy in IFRS 13, Financial Instruments – Disclosures.

The basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by adjusting the basic earnings per share to take into account the after-tax effect of interest and other finance costs associated with dilutive convertible debentures as if they were converted at the beginning of the period, and the effects of potentially dilutive stock options and share purchase warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. When the impact of potentially dilutive securities increases the earnings per share or decreases the loss per share, they are excluded for purposes of the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

(i) Mining title contracts – title transfers approved: As at June 30, 2022, the Company has a total of COP 0.8 billion, equivalent to $0.2 million (December 31, 2021 – COP 0.8 billion; $0.2 million), remaining to be paid under agreements to purchase additional mining titles related to the Marmato property which is included in amounts payable for acquisition of mining interests in current liabilities.
(ii) Mining title contracts – title transfers pending approval: the Company has three mining title contracts for which the approval for the transfer of title has not yet been obtained from the government authorities. If government approval is not obtained, the Company will no longer be required to make further payments. As at June 30, 2022, the Company has commitments under these contracts to spend an additional COP 14.9 billion ($3.6 million) (December 31, 2021 – COP 14.9 billion or $3.7 million) which has not been included in amounts payable for acquisition of mining interests.
(iii) Amounts payable related to acquisition of mining interests: As at June 30, 2022, a total of COP 7.0 billion ($1.6 million) including interest, is included in amounts payable for acquisition of mining interests related to agreements to compensate artisanal miners who would be required to cease mining activities at the Company’s Marmato Project (December 31, 2021 – COP 7.0 billion; $1.7 million). Payments related to these agreements have been suspended since 2013 and the Company is continuing to seek a resolution to the outstanding obligations.
| b) | Segovia social contributions |
With respect to Segovia Operations, the Company makes contributions to a trust account to fund local social programs in each quarter in which it produces a minimum of 15,000 ounces of gold. The contribution rate is $4 per ounce of gold production at the minimum gold price of $700 per ounce and increases by $2 per ounce for each $50 increment in the price of gold. Based on the Company’s gold production during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a total expense for social contributions of $2.3 million and $4.8 million (2021 – $2.6 million and $4.8 million).
| c) | Arbitration Proceedings under Free Trade Agreement |
In May 2018, as a consequence of ongoing impediments to establishing mining operations in Zona Alta and Echandia at Marmato due to the presence of illegal miners who have not only impeded mining operations in the area by the Company but also curtailed access to it, along with certain related matters associated with its Segovia Operations, the Company filed a request for institution of arbitration proceedings with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes against the Republic of Colombia (“FTA Claim”). The arbitration proceedings center on claims against Colombia for its non-compliance with its obligations under the Free Trade Agreement which effectively continues to preclude the Company from establishing operations in Zona Alta and Echandia. The arbitration proceedings are in process with hearings expected to take place in September 2022; however, a decision on the matter is not expected until 2023.
