Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Gold Resource Corporation (the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on August 24, 1998. The Company is a producer of doré containing gold and silver and metal concentrates that contain gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc in Oaxaca, Mexico. The Company also has 100% interest in the Back Forty Project, an advanced Exploration Stage Property, located in Menominee County, Michigan, USA. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements included herein are expressed in United States dollars and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its Mexican subsidiary, Don David Gold Mexico S.A. de C.V., and Aquila Resources Inc (“Aquila) and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Segment Reporting The Company has organized its operations into three geographic regions. The geographic regions include Oaxaca, Mexico, Michigan, U.S.A., and Corporate and Other. Oaxaca, Mexico represents the Company’s only production stage property. Michigan, U.S.A. is an advanced exploration stage property. The Company’s business activities that are not considered production stage or advanced exploration stage properties are included in Corporate and Other . Please see Note 21—Segment Reporting below for additional information. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates utilized in impairment calculations and units-of-production depreciation calculations; future metal prices; environmental remediation, reclamation and closure obligations; estimates of recoverable gold and other minerals in stockpiles; write-downs of inventory stockpiles to net realizable value; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and liabilities; valuation of contingent considerations and gold and silver stream agreements; provisional amounts related to income tax effects of newly enacted tax laws; and stock-based compensation. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revisions of Previously Issued Financial Statements for Correction of Immaterial Errors In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s management identified an immaterial error in prior period financial statements, whereby deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets attributable to different tax-paying components of the entity or to different tax jurisdictions were incorrectly offset. The Company has corrected the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022, for this immaterial error. The effects of these revisions are as follows. Revision to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022: As filed as of Revised as of December 31, Adjustments December 31, 2022 2022 ASSETS Current assets: Total current assets $ 46,099 $ - $ 46,099 Property, plant, and mine development, net 152,563 - 152,563 Deferred tax assets, net - 5,927 5,927 Other non-current assets 5,509 - 5,509 Total assets $ 204,171 $ 5,927 $ 210,098 LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Current liabilities: Total current liabilities $ 24,682 $ - $ 24,682 Reclamation and remediation liabilities 10,366 - 10,366 Gold and silver stream agreements liability 43,466 - 43,466 Deferred tax liabilities, net 9,224 5,927 15,151 Contingent consideration 2,179 - 2,179 Other non-current liabilities 2,490 - 2,490 Total liabilities 92,407 5,927 98,334 Shareholders' equity: Total shareholders' equity 111,764 - 111,764 Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $ 204,171 $ 5,927 $ 210,098 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash held in Mexican Pesos or Canadian Dollars is converted to U.S. Dollars at the closing exchange rate at year end. Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables, which are recorded net of allowance for credit losses from the sale of doré and metals concentrates, as well as net of an embedded derivative based on mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding provisional invoices based on forward metal prices. Please see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 13. Derivatives Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 19. Fair Value Measurement Inventories The major inventory categories are set forth below: Stockpile Inventories : Concentrate Inventories Doré Inventory: Materials and Supplies Inventories Write-downs of inventory, when needed, are charged to production costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Property, Plant, and Mine Development Land and Mineral Interests Mine Development Drilling costs incurred during the production phase for operational ore control are recorded as mine development and amortized using UOP. All other drilling and related costs are expensed as incurred. Mine development costs are amortized using the UOP method based on estimated recoverable ounces in Mineral Reserves. Property and Equipment Construction in Progress Depreciation and Amortization Range of Lives Asset retirement costs UOP Furniture, computer and office equipment 3 to 10 years Light vehicles and other mobile equipment 4 years Machinery and equipment UOP to 8 years Mill facilities and related infrastructure UOP Mine development and mineral interests UOP Buildings and infrastructure UOP to 4 years Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the asset. If an impairment is indicated, a determination is made whether an impairment has occurred. Impairment losses are measured either 1) as the excess of carrying value over the total discounted estimated future cash flows, or 2) as the excess of carrying value over the fair value, using the expected fair value technique in the absence of an observable market price. Losses are charged to expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. Existing Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves are included when estimating the fair value in determining whether the assets are impaired. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions, including expected gold and other commodity prices, production levels and costs, processing recoveries, capital requirements, and estimated salvage values. It is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different from the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and costs, and capital requirements are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables from provisional concentrate sales, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The recorded amount for the equity investment in the common shares of Maritime is based on the closing share price of MAE.V on TSX-V. The company elected the fair value measurement option as the measurement basis for the equity investment in the common shares of Green Light Metals. Treasury Stock Treasury stock represents shares of the Company’s common stock which have been repurchased on the open market at the prevailing market price at the time of purchase and have not been canceled. Treasury stock is shown at cost as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from doré and concentrate sales. Doré sales Concentrate sales Production Costs Production costs include labor and benefits, royalties, concentrate and doré shipping costs, mining costs, fuel and lubricants, legal and professional fees related to mine operations, stock-based compensation attributable to mine workers, materials and supplies, repairs and maintenance, explosives, site support, housing and food, insurance, reagents, travel, medical services, security equipment, office rent, tools, and other costs that support mining operations. Exploration Costs Exploration costs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs to identify new Mineral Resources and to evaluate potential Mineral Resources are considered exploration costs. Exploration activities conducted within the defined Mineral Resources are capitalized. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition and measurement provisions of U.S. GAAP. Those provisions require all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”), and deferred share units (“DSUs”) to be measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards, with the resulting expense generally recognized on a straight-line basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the period during which services are performed in exchange for the award. The majority of the awards are earned over a service period of three years. DSUs are earned immediately at grant and are expected to be paid out in cash in the future. PSUs and DSUs are considered liability instruments and marked-to-market each reporting period. The Company's estimates may be impacted by certain variables including, but not limited to, stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors, additional stock option grants, and estimates of forfeitures. Reclamation and Remediation Costs Reclamation costs are allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation and remediation costs. Reclamation obligations are based in part on when the spending for an existing environmental disturbance will occur. The Company reviews the reclamation obligation at least on an annual basis. In 2014, the Company became a production stage company and therefore, started capitalizing asset retirement costs along with the asset retirement obligation. Please see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 10. Reclamation and Remediation Accounting for reclamation and remediation obligations requires management to make estimates unique to each mining operation of the future costs expected to be incurred to complete the reclamation and remediation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations. Actual costs incurred in future periods could differ from the amounts estimated. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations could increase the extent of reclamation and remediation work required. Any such increases in future costs could materially impact the amounts charged to operations for reclamation and remediation. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Accumulated other comprehensive loss is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is composed of foreign currency translation adjustment effects related to the historical adjustment when the functional currency was the Mexican peso for our Mexico subsidiary. This loss will remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets until the sale or dissolution of our Mexico subsidiary. Income and Mining Royalty Taxes Income and Mining Royalty Taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes and the effect of net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are evaluated to determine if it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets attributable to different tax-paying components of the entity or to different tax jurisdictions are not netted against each other. Please see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 4. Income Taxes Net Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities, as determined using the treasury stock method, are converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, such as periods when a net loss is reported or when the exercise price of the instrument exceeds the average fair market value of the underlying common stock. Foreign Currency The functional currency for all of the Company’s subsidiaries is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has considered and assessed the credit risk resulting from its concentrate sales and doré sales arrangements with its customers. In the event that the Company’s relationships with its customers are interrupted for any reason, the Company believes that it would be able to locate another entity to purchase its metals concentrates and doré bars; however, any interruption could temporarily disrupt the Company’s sale of its products and materially adversely affect operating results. Currently 100% of the Company’s total net sales from operations are coming from the Arista and Alta Gracia mines at DDGM, the Company’s Oaxaca, Mexico business segment. Sales from significant customers as a percentage of sales for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were the following: For the year ended December 31, 2023 2022 Customer A 48 % 38 % Customer B 24 % 33 % Customer C 25 % - % Customer D - % 24 % The following table shows accounts receivable from significant customers as a percentage of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023 and 2022: As of As of December 31, December 31, 2023 2022 Customer A 46 % 47 % Customer B 33 % 33 % Customer C 21 % - % Customer D - % 20 % Some of the Company’s operating cash balances are maintained in accounts that currently exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes that the financial strength of the depositing institutions mitigates the underlying risk of loss. To date, these concentrations of credit risk have not had a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Streaming Liabilities The Company presents the gold and silver streaming liabilities initially at fair value and subsequently accreted using a discount rate and risk factor probabilities. The discount rate is the Company’s estimated borrowing rate, and the probabilities consider the completion of the feasibility study, obtaining necessary permits, and the completion of the mine facilities. The adjustment in the value is the accretion of interest, which is included in other expense, net. New Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods The FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures in November 2023, amending reportable segment disclosure requirements to include disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis.

For financial reporting purposes, total (loss) income before income taxes includes the following components. Years Ended December 31, 2023 2022 (in thousands) U.S. Operations $ (8,958) $ (18,317) Foreign Operations (1) (12,794) 20,555 Total (loss) income before income taxes $ (21,752) $ 2,238 (1) Foreign operations are predominantly in Mexico, as activities in Canada are minimal. The Company's total income tax (benefit) provision consists of the following: Years ended December 31, 2023 2022 (in thousands) Current taxes: State $ (3) $ (254) Foreign 906 12,358 Total current taxes $ 903 $ 12,104 Deferred taxes: Federal $ (691) $ (895) State - 25 Foreign (5,947) (2,675) Total deferred tax benefits $ (6,638) $ (3,545) Total income tax (benefit) provision $ (5,735) $ 8,559 The (benefit) provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable United States statutory federal income tax rate to pre-tax income from operations as a result of the following differences: For the year ended December 31, 2023 2022 (in thousands) Tax at statutory rates $ (4,568) $ 470 Foreign rate differential (1,006) 1,867 Changes in valuation allowance (3,521) (5,115) Tax losses subject to limitation 2,708 8,306 Mexico mining tax 301 2,168 Foreign exchange (904) 311 Stock option expiration 237 519 Mexico withholding tax 102 1,328 Deduction for inflation in Mexico (1,043) (1,083) U.S. state income tax (288) (786) Foreign tax credit expirations 2,118 - Other 129 574 Tax (benefit) provision $ (5,735) $ 8,559 In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company completed a study of the Internal Revenue Code section 382 (“382”) net operating loss limitations related to ownership changes in connection with the Back Forty Project acquisition. The study found that approximately $45.1 million of federal net operating losses and $12.3 million of Michigan net operating losses would be subject to potential limitation under 382. The study also concluded that, of those losses, $30.8 million of federal losses and $35.9 million of Michigan losses would be unable to offset future taxable income by the Company due to loss limitations under 382 and loss carryforward expirations. The annual limitation for the Company under 382 is $1.3 million. The following table sets forth deferred tax assets and liabilities: As of December 31, 2023 2022 (in thousands) Deferred tax assets: Tax loss carryforward $ 28,888 $ 25,626 Property, plant, and mine development 5,880 1,429 Share-based compensation 131 511 Foreign tax credits 1,971 4,089 Inventory 197 45 Foreign Mining Tax 264 1,106 Accrued Expenses 5,529 5,606 Gold and silver stream agreements liability 3,472 2,144 Employee profit sharing obligation 20 663 Other 300 1,344 Total deferred tax assets $ 46,652 $ 42,563 Valuation allowance (28,297) (31,818) Deferred tax assets after valuation allowance $ 18,355 $ 10,745 Deferred tax liability – Property, plant and mine development (17,713) (17,724) Deferred tax liability – Other (1,418) (2,245) Total deferred tax liabilities $ (19,131) $ (19,969) Net deferred tax liability $ (776) $ (9,224) In accordance with ASC 740, the Company presents deferred tax assets net of its deferred tax liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets on a jurisdictional basis. The net deferred tax liability of $0.8 million as of December 31, 2023 shown in the table above is comprised of a $14.1 million deferred tax liability related to the US entities and a $13.3 million deferred tax asset related to Don David Gold Mine S.A. de C.V. (“DDGM”) in Mexico. No net deferred tax balances exist in Canada due to the existence of a full valuation allowance. The Company evaluates the evidence available to determine whether a valuation allowance is required on deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company determined that a valuation allowance of $28.3 million was necessary due to the uncertain utilization of specific deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carryforwards, with $18.8 million in U.S. and $9.5 million in Canada; $19.5 million of the total valuation allowance of $28.3 million is related to Aquila in the U.S. and Canada. As of December 31, 2022, the Company determined that a valuation allowance of $31.8 million was necessary due to the uncertain utilization of specific deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carryforwards, with $21.2 million in U.S. and $10.6 million in Canada; $21.8 million of the valuation allowance is related to Aquila. The net change in the Company’s valuation allowance was a decrease of $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in valuation allowance is primarily explained by expiration of foreign tax credits and the write-off of net operating losses now expected to expire unutilized under 382 on a tax-effected basis as discussed above. At December 31, 2023, the Company has available U.S. federal loss carryforwards of $76.8 million, of which $56.2 million have no expiration date, and $20.6 million that expire at various dates between 2027 and 2037; U.S. Foreign Tax Credits of $2.0 million that expire at various dates between 2024 and 2026; state of Colorado tax loss carryforwards of $53.0 million, of which $29.8 million expire at various dates between 2024 and 2037 and $23.1 million that have no expiration; available state of Michigan tax loss carryforwards of $16.8 million expiring at various dates between 2024 and 2033; Wisconsin tax loss carryforwards of $4.0 million expiring in 2042; and Canadian tax loss carryforwards of $23.0 million that expire between 2026 and 2043. Mexico Mining Taxation Mining entities in Mexico are subject to two mining duties, in addition to the 30% Mexico corporate income tax: (i) a “special” mining duty of 7.5% of taxable income as defined under Mexican tax law (also referred to as “mining royalty tax”) on extraction activities performed by concession holders, and (ii) the “extraordinary” mining duty of 0.5% on gross revenue from the sale of gold, silver, and platinum. The mining royalty tax is generally applicable to earnings before income tax, depreciation, depletion, amortization, and interest. In calculating the mining royalty tax, there are no deductions related to depreciable costs from operational fixed assets, but prospecting and exploration expenses are amortized at 10% rate in a straight line. Both duties are tax deductible for income tax purposes. As a result, our effective tax rate applicable to the Company’s Mexican operations is substantially higher than Mexico’s statutory rate. The Company periodically transfers funds from its Mexican wholly-owned subsidiary to the U.S. in the form of dividends. Mexico requires a 10% withholding tax on dividends on all post-2013 earnings. The Company began distributing post-2013 earnings from Mexico in 2018. According to the existing U.S. – Mexico tax treaty, the dividend withholding tax between these countries is reduced to 5% if certain requirements are met. The Company determined that it had met such requirements and paid a 5% withholding tax on dividends received from Mexico, and as a result, paid $0.1 million and $1.3 million for years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Other Tax Disclosures The Company files U.S. and various state income tax returns, as well as foreign income tax returns in Canada and Mexico, with varying statutes of limitations. In general, the statute of limitations is three years in the United States and in Canada. However, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carryforward balances beginning in the tax year ended December 31, 2007 for the United States and in the tax year ended December 31, 2006 for Canada. As a result, all tax years since 2007 remain open to examination in the United States and all tax years since 2006 remain open to examination in Canada. In Mexico, the statute of limitations is generally five years, which currently is 2018 and forward. The Company is under audit for the tax year ended December 31, 2015. All other years are closed to inspection outside of the standard statute of limitations window in Mexico. The U.S. Treasury Department issued final regulations in July 2020 concerning global intangible low-taxed income, commonly referred to as GILTI tax, which was introduced by the Tax Act of 2017. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The final tax regulations allow income to be excluded from GILTI tax that are subject to an effective tax rate higher than 90% of the U.S. tax rate. The Company determined that it is not subject to GILTI tax due to this high tax exception rule. In October 2023, the Company received a notification from the Mexican Tax Administration Services (“SAT”) with a sanction of 331 million pesos (approximately $19.5 million) as the result of a 2015 tax audit that began in 2021. The 2015 tax audit performed by SAT encompassed various tax aspects, including but not limited to intercompany transactions, mining royalty tax, and extraordinary mining tax. Management is in process of disputing this tax notification and sent a letter of protest to the tax authorities along with providing all requested documentation. Management intends to pursue legal avenues of protest, including filing a lawsuit with the Mexico court system if necessary, to ensure that these adjustments are removed. Management believes the position taken on the 2015 income tax return meets the more likely than not threshold and that as of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions. If the Company were to determine there was an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize the liability and related interest and penalties within income tax (benefit) provision. |

Likewise, businesses owe IVA taxes as the business sells a product and collects IVA taxes from its customers. Businesses are generally entitled to recover the taxes they have paid related to purchases of materials and services, either as a refund or credit to IVA tax payable. Amounts recorded as IVA taxes in the consolidated financial statements represent the net estimated IVA tax receivable or payable, since there is a legal right of offset of IVA taxes. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, this resulted in an asset balance of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which is included in other current assets above. |

The 47 million shares purchased represented 9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Maritime at the time of purchase. As of both December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the fair value of this investment was $1.6 million. On December 28, 2022, Gold Resource Corporation received 12.25 million common shares of Green Light Metals as a settlement for a promissory note receivable acquired with the Aquila acquisition. This represented approximately 28.5% ownership in Green Light Metals at the time. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of this equity investment was $3.6 million. The contract included a top-up provision that would result in additional common shares being issued to the Company if any Green Light Metals financing was raised at less than C$0.40 per share before March 31, 2023. After this settlement and before March 31, 2023, additional financing was raised by Green Light Metals at C$0.40 per share. Therefore, the top-up provision was not triggered, and no additional shares were received. As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the fair value of this equity investment was $3.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively. |

The required cash payment to employees in the aggregate is equal to 10% of their employer’s profit subject to PTU, which differs from profit determined under U.S. GAAP. In 2023, $0.1 million for PTU was recorded in current liabilities and production costs, as well as $1.2 million for statutory employee severance benefits recorded in other long-term liabilities and other expenses. In 2022, $2.2 million for PTU was recorded in current liabilities and production costs, as well as $1.1 million for statutory employee severance benefits recorded in other long-term liabilities and other expenses.

Gold and Silver Stream Agreements | 9. Gold and Silver Stream Agreements The following table presents the Company’s liabilities related to the Gold and Silver Stream Agreements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022: As of As of December 31, December 31, 2023 2022 (in thousands) Liability related to the Gold Stream Agreement $ 21,002 $ 20,881 Liability related to the Silver Stream Agreement 23,930 22,585 Total liability $ 44,932 $ 43,466 Periodic interest expense incurred based on an implied interest rate. The implied interest rate is determined based on the timing and probability of future production and a 6% discount rate. Interest expense is recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the gold and silver stream agreement liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The stream agreements contain customary provisions regarding default and security. In the event that our subsidiary defaults under the stream agreements, including by failing to achieve commercial production by an agreed upon date, it may be required to repay the deposit plus accumulated interest at a rate agreed with Osisko. If the Company fails to do so, Osisko may elect to enforce its remedies as a secured party and take possession of the assets that comprise the Back Forty Project. Gold Streaming Agreement In November 2017, Aquila entered into a stream agreement with Osisko Bermuda Limited (“OBL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (TSX & NYSE: OR), pursuant to which OBL agreed to commit approximately $55 million to Aquila through a gold stream purchase agreement. In June 2020, Aquila amended its agreement with Osisko, reducing the total committed amount to $50 million, as well as adjusting certain milestone dates under the gold stream to align with the current project development timeline. Aquila had received a total of $20 million of the committed funds at the time of the Gold Resource Corporation acquisition. Remaining deposits from OBL are $5 million upon receipt of permits required for the development and operation of the Back Forty Project and $25 million upon the first drawdown of an appropriate project debt finance facility. OBL has been provided a general security agreement over the Back Forty Project, which consists of the subsidiaries of Gold Resource Acquisition Sub. Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of Gold Resource Corporation. The initial term of the agreement is for 40 years, automatically renewable for successive ten-year periods. The agreement is subject to certain operating and financial covenants, which are in good standing as of December 31, 2023. Subsequent to year end, the Company secured an amendment to the stream agreement that deferred the required completion of certain operational milestones related to permitting from 2024 to 2026. The $20 million received from OBL through December 31, 2023 is shown as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, along with an implied interest. The implied interest rate is applied on the OBL advance payments and calculated on the total expected life-of-mine production to be deliverable using an estimated gold price and a discount rate of 6%. As the remaining $30 million deposit is subject to the completion of specific milestones and the satisfaction of certain other conditions, this amount is not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Per the terms of the gold stream agreement, OBL will purchase 18.5% of the refined gold from Back Forty (the “Threshold Stream Percentage”) until the Company has delivered 105,000 ounces of gold (the “Production Threshold”). Upon satisfaction of the Production Threshold, the Threshold Stream Percentage will be reduced to 9.25% of the refined gold (the “Tail Stream”). In exchange for the refined gold delivered under the Stream Agreement, OBL will pay the Company ongoing payments equal to 30% of the spot price of gold on the day of delivery, subject to a maximum payment of $600 per ounce. Where the market price of gold is greater than the price paid, the difference realized from the sale of the gold will be applied against the deposit received from Osisko. Please see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies . Silver Stream Agreement Through a series of contracts, Aquila executed a silver stream agreement with OBL to purchase 85% of the silver produced and sold at the Back Forty Project. A total of $17.2 million has been advanced under the agreement as of December 31, 2023. There are no future deposits remaining under the agreement. The initial term of the agreement is for 40 years, automatically renewable for successive ten-year periods. The agreement is subject to certain operating and financial covenants, which are in good standing as of December 31, 2023. Subsequent to year end, the Company secured an amendment to the stream agreement that deferred the required completion of certain operational milestones related to permitting from 2024 to 2026. Per the terms of the silver stream agreement, OBL will purchase 85% of the silver produced from the Back Forty Project at a fixed price of $4 per ounce of silver. Where the market price of silver is greater than $4 per ounce, the difference realized from the sale of the silver will be applied against the deposit received from Osisko. The $17.2 million received from OBL through December 31, 2023 is shown as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and includes an implied interest rate. The implied interest rate is applied on the OBL advance payments and calculated on the total expected life-of-mine production to be deliverable using an estimated silver price and a discount rate of 6%.

Reclamation and Remediation | 10. Reclamation and Remediation The following table presents the changes in the Company’s reclamation and remediation obligations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022: 2023 2022 (in thousands) Reclamation liabilities – balance at beginning of period $ 1,949 $ 1,833 Foreign currency exchange loss 284 116 Reclamation liabilities – balance at end of period 2,233 1,949 Asset retirement obligation – balance at beginning of period (1) 8,417 1,279 Changes in estimate (1) (1,221) 6,384 Liability for Aquila drillhole capping (2) 404 - Accretion 689 668 Foreign currency exchange loss 1,273 86 Asset retirement obligation – balance at end of period 9,562 8,417 Total period end balance $ 11,795 $ 10,366 (1) In 2022, the Company updated its closure plan study, which resulted in a $6.4 million increase in the estimated liability and ARO asset. This increase is a result of formalizing a tailings storage facility closure plan, the addition of the dry stack facility and the filtration plant, and the increase of inflation in Mexico. In 2023, the Company updated its closure plan study to include current disturbances, which resulted in a $1.2 million decrease in the estimated liability and ARO asset. (2) As of December 31, 2022, the Company reported the liability of $0.4 million to remediate exploration drill holes at the Back Forty Project in Michigan, USA in other non-current liabilities. As of March 31, 2023, this liability of $0.4 million was reclassified to non-current reclamation and remediation liabilities. The Company’s undiscounted reclamation liabilities of $2.2 million and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, are related to DDGM in Mexico. These represent reclamation liabilities that were expensed through 2013 before proven and probable Mineral Reserves were established and the Company was considered to be a development stage entity; therefore, most of the costs, including asset retirement costs, were not allowed to be capitalized as part of our property, plant, and mine development. The Company’s asset retirement obligations reflect the additions to the asset for reclamation and remediation costs in property, plant & mine development, post 2013 development stage status, which were discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free rate of 8%. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s asset retirement obligation related to the Don David Gold Mine in Mexico was $9.6 million and $8.4 million, respectively. |

Commitments and Contingencies | 11. Commitments and Contingencies As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had equipment purchase commitments aggregating approximately $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Contingent Consideration With the Aquila acquisition, the Company assumed a contingent consideration. On December 30, 2013, Aquila’s shareholders approved the acquisition of 100% of the shares of HudBay Michigan Inc. (“HMI”), a subsidiary of HudBay Minerals Inc. (“HudBay”), effectively giving Aquila 100% ownership in the Back Forty Project (the “HMI Acquisition”). Pursuant to the HMI Acquisition, HudBay’s 51% interest in the Back Forty Project was acquired in consideration for the issuance of common shares of Aquila, future milestone payments tied to the development of the Back Forty Project and a 1% net smelter return royalty on production from certain land parcels in the project. The issuance of shares and 1% net smelter obligations were settled before the Company acquired Aquila. The contingent consideration is composed of the following: The value of future installments is based on C$9 million tied to the development of the Back Forty project as follows: a. C $3 million payable on completion of any form of financing for purposes including the commencement of construction of Back Forty, up to 50% of the C $3 million can be paid, at the Company’s option in Gold Resource Corporation shares with the balance payable in cash; b. C $2 million payable in cash 90 days after the commencement of commercial production; c. C $2 million payable in cash 270 days after the commencement of commercial production, and; d. C $2 million payable in cash 450 days after the commencement of commercial production. Initially, the company intended to pay the first C$3 million in 2023 to prevent HudBay’s 51% buy-back option in the Back Forty Project. Management later decided that it was more likely than not that HudBay would not exercise its buy-back option, and consequently, this amount was not paid. Additionally, since financing of the project is not expected in 2024, this liability was moved to long-term. As of the end of January 2024, by the contractual deadline, HudBay did not exercise its buy-back option, and thus, it is forfeited. The total value of the contingent consideration at December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $3.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively. The contingent consideration is adjusted for the time value of money and the likelihood of the milestone payments. Any future changes in the value of the contingent consideration is recognized in other expense, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations . The following table shows the change in the balance of the contingent consideration: 2023 2022 (in thousands) Beginning Balance of contingent consideration: Current contingent consideration $ 2,211 $ - Non-current contingent consideration 2,179 4,603 $ 4,390 $ 4,603 Change in value (842) (213) Ending Balance of contingent consideration: Current contingent consideration $ - $ 2,211 Non-current contingent consideration 3,548 2,179 $ 3,548 $ 4,390 Other Contingencies The Company has certain other contingencies resulting from litigation, claims, and other commitments and is subject to a variety of environmental and safety laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. The Company currently has no basis to conclude that any or all of such contingencies will materially affect its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in the future, there may be changes to these contingencies, or additional contingencies may occur, any of which might result in an accrual or a change in current accruals recorded by the Company, and there can be no assurance that their ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow. With the acquisition of Aquila Resources Inc. on December 10, 2021, the Company assumed substantial liabilities that relate to the gold and silver stream agreements with Osisko Bermuda Limited. Under the agreements, Osisko deposited a total of $37.2 million upfront in exchange for a portion of the future gold and silver production from the Back Forty Project. The stream agreements contain customary provisions regarding default and security. In the event that our subsidiary defaults under the stream agreements, including failing to achieve commercial production at a future date, it may be required to repay the deposit plus accumulated interest at a rate agreed with Osisko. If it fails to do so, Osisko may be entitled to enforce its remedies as a secured party and take possession of the assets that comprise the Back Forty Project. |

At the end of each reporting period, the Company records an adjustment to accounts receivable and revenue to reflect the mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding provisional invoices based on forward metal prices. Please see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 19. Fair Value Measurement The following table summarizes the Company’s unsettled sales contracts at December 31, 2023, with the quantities of metals under contract subject to final pricing occurring through February 2023: Gold Silver Copper Lead Zinc Total (ounces) (ounces) (tonnes) (tonnes) (tonnes) Under contract 2,908 252,324 217 1,678 2,236 Average forward price (per ounce or tonne) $ 1,983 23.45 8,337 2,151 2,499 Unsettled sales contracts value (in thousands) $ 5,767 $ 5,917 $ 1,809 $ 3,609 $ 5,588 $ 22,690 Other Derivatives Zinc zero cost collar Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value impact the Company’s earnings through mark-to-market adjustments until the physical commodity is delivered or the financial instrument is settled. As of December 31, 2022, the hedge program concluded, but the Company may utilize similar programs in the future to manage near-term exposure to cash flow variability from metal prices. Effective May 18, 2021, GRC entered into a Trading Agreement with Auramet International LLC that governs nonexchange traded, over-the-counter, spot, forward, and option transactions on both a deliverable and non-deliverable basis involving various metals and currencies, and these contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Due to the conclusion of the current program, in 2023, the Company had neither realized nor unrealized gains or losses, compared to a realized loss of $2.0 million and an unrealized gain of $1.8 million in 2022. The Company manages credit risk by selecting counterparties that it believes to be financially strong, by entering into netting arrangements with counterparties, and by requiring other credit risk mitigants, as appropriate. The Company actively evaluates the creditworthiness of its counterparties, assigns appropriate credit limits, and monitors credit exposures against those assigned limits. |

Employee Benefits | 14. Employee Benefits Effective October 2012, the Company adopted a profit-sharing plan (the “Plan”) which covers all U.S. employees. The Plan meets the requirements of a qualified retirement plan pursuant to the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan also provides eligible employees the opportunity to make tax deferred contributions to a retirement trust account up to 90% of their qualified wages, subject to the IRS annual maximums. On April 23, 2021, a decree that reforms labor outsourcing in Mexico was published in the Federation’s Official Gazette. This decree amended the outsourcing provisions, whereby operating companies can no longer source their labor resources used to carry out the core business functions from service entities or third-party providers. Under Mexican law, employees are entitled to receive statutory profit sharing (Participacion a los Trabajadores de las Utilidades or “PTU”) payments. The required cash payment to employees in the aggregate is equal to 10% of their employer’s profit subject to PTU, which differs from profit determined under U.S. GAAP. Please see Item 8.

Stock-Based Compensation | |
Stock-Based Compensation | 15. Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s compensation program comprises three main elements: base salary, an annual short-term incentive plan (“STIP”) cash award, and long-term equity-based incentive compensation (“LTIP”) in the form of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”), and deferred stock units (“DSUs”). The Gold Resource Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) allows for the issuance of up to 5 million shares of common stock in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, stock grants, stock units, performance shares, PSUs, and performance cash. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, implemented a program to issue DSUs, which are qualifying instruments under the terms of the Company’s Incentive Plan, to eligible directors. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan, any award outstanding under the prior plan that is terminated, expired, forfeited, or canceled for any reason, will be available for grant under the Incentive Plan. The Company’s STIP provides for an annual cash bonus payable upon achievement of specified performance metrics for its management team. As of December 31, 2023, we accrued $ 0.8 million payable in cash related to the STIP program. As of December 31, 2022, we accrued $ 1.0 million related to the program Stock-Based Compensation Expense Stock-based compensation expense for stock options, RSUs, PSUs, and DSUs is as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2023 2022 (in thousands) Stock options $ 342 $ 646 Restricted stock units 537 631 Performance stock units (168) 332 Deferred stock units (30) 346 Total $ 681 $ 1,955 The estimated unrecognized stock-based compensation expense from unvested options and RSUs, as of December 31, 2023, was nil and $0.7 million, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining periods of nil Stock Options A summary of stock option activity under the Incentive Plan for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is presented below: Stock Options Weighted Average Exercise Price (per share) Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 2,454,700 $ 4.62 4.58 $ 109 Granted 320,816 2.41 Exercised (355,000) 1.31 Expired or Forfeited (945,200) 7.78 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 1,475,316 $ 2.90 7.38 $ 18 Expired or Forfeited (634,704) 2.79 Outstanding as of December 31, 2023 840,612 $ 2.99 7.38 $ - Vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2023 593,740 $ 2.98 7.36 $ - During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 stock options of nil and 320,816, respectively, were granted.

The weighted-average fair value per share of RSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.92 and $1.97, respectively. The grant date fair value of RSUs is determined by the 20-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares at grant date. The total intrinsic value of RSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 0.1 million and 39 thousand RSUs were deferred, respectively.

PSUs cliff vest in three years based on the relative total shareholder return of a predetermined peer group and are expected to be settled in cash. These awards contain a cash settlement feature and are therefore classified as liability and are marked to fair value each reporting period based on the relative total shareholder return of a predetermined peer group and the Company’s stock price. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has liability of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to PSUs. As of December 31, 2023, of the $0.2 million liability, $0.1 million is short-term and expected to be paid out in 2024 according to the terms of the grant agreements. PSUs of 534,890 and 695,041, respectively, were granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, with weighted-average fair value of $0.90 and $1.99 per unit, respectively.

Additionally, members of the Board may elect, at the beginning of each year, that a portion of their board fees be paid in DSUs rather than in cash. DSUs are qualifying instruments under the terms of the Company’s Incentive Plan, and therefore, do not require additional shareholder approval. The vesting and settlement terms of the DSUs are determined by the Compensation Committee at the time the DSUs are awarded. DSUs are vested immediately at grant and are redeemable in cash or shares—at the discretion of the Company—at the earlier of 10 years or upon the eligible directors’ termination and expected to be paid in cash. Termination is deemed to occur on the earliest of (1) the date of voluntary resignation or retirement of the director from the Board; (2) the date of death of the director; or (3) the date of removal of the director from the Board whether by shareholder resolution, failure to achieve re-election, or otherwise; and on which date the director is not a director or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates. These awards contain a cash settlement feature and are therefore classified as a liability and are marked to fair value each reporting period. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of other non-current liability related to the DSUs, based on the fair value of the Company’s stock price. DSUs of 278,663 and 214,357 were granted to the Board of Directors during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, DSUs of 108,011 and 14,382 were granted to the Board of Directors in lieu of board fees at their request during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. DSUs of 212,407 and nil, respectively, were granted in lieu of executive bonuses during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of DSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.83 and $2.93, respectively. The grant date fair value of DSUs is determined by the 20-day forfeited |

Net Loss per Common Share | |
Net Loss per Common Share | 18. Net Loss per Common Share Basic loss per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted Loss per common share is calculated based on the assumption that stock options outstanding, which have an exercise price less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period, would have been exercised on the later of the beginning of the period or the date granted and that the funds obtained from the exercise were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. All of the Company’s restricted stock units are considered to be dilutive. The effect of the Company’s dilutive securities is calculated using the treasury stock method, and only those instruments that result in a reduction in net income per common share are included in the calculation. Options to purchase 0.8 million shares of common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $2.99 were outstanding as of December 31, 2023 but had no dilutive effect due to the net loss. Options to purchase 1.5 million shares of common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $2.90 were outstanding as of December 31, 2022 but had no dilutive effect due to the net loss. Basic and diluted net loss per common share is calculated as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2023 2022 Numerator: Net loss (in thousands) $ (16,017) $ (6,321) Denominator: Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 88,514,243 88,368,250 Basic and diluted net loss per common share $ (0.18) $ (0.07) |

Fair Value Measurement | |
Fair Value Measurement | 19. Fair Value Measurement Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity.) As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. These assets and liabilities are remeasured for each reporting period. The following tables set forth certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023 and 2022: As of As of December 31, December 31, Input Hierarchy Level 2023 2022 (in thousands) Cash and cash equivalents $ 6,254 $ 23,675 Level 1 Accounts receivable, net $ 4,335 $ 5,085 Level 2 Investment in equity securities-Maritime $ 1,596 $ 1,559 Level 1 Investment in equity securities-Green Light Metals $ 3,698 $ 3,611 Level 3 The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: Cash and cash equivalents Accounts receivable, net provisionally priced sales have not yet settled as of the reporting date, the mark-to-market adjustment related to these invoices is included in accounts receivable as of each reporting date. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had an unrealized gain of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, included in its accounts receivable on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets related to mark-to-market adjustments.

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Nature of Operations | Nature of Operations Gold Resource Corporation (the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on August 24, 1998. The Company is a producer of doré containing gold and silver and metal concentrates that contain gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc in Oaxaca, Mexico. The Company also has 100% interest in the Back Forty Project, an advanced Exploration Stage Property, located in Menominee County, Michigan, USA. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements included herein are expressed in United States dollars and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its Mexican subsidiary, Don David Gold Mexico S.A. de C.V., and Aquila Resources Inc (“Aquila) and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company has organized its operations into three geographic regions. The geographic regions include Oaxaca, Mexico, Michigan, U.S.A., and Corporate and Other. Oaxaca, Mexico represents the Company’s only production stage property. Michigan, U.S.A. is an advanced exploration stage property. The Company’s business activities that are not considered production stage or advanced exploration stage properties are included in Corporate and Other . Please see Note 21—Segment Reporting below for additional information. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates utilized in impairment calculations and units-of-production depreciation calculations; future metal prices; environmental remediation, reclamation and closure obligations; estimates of recoverable gold and other minerals in stockpiles; write-downs of inventory stockpiles to net realizable value; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and liabilities; valuation of contingent considerations and gold and silver stream agreements; provisional amounts related to income tax effects of newly enacted tax laws; and stock-based compensation. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Reclassifications | Revisions of Previously Issued Financial Statements for Correction of Immaterial Errors In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s management identified an immaterial error in prior period financial statements, whereby deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets attributable to different tax-paying components of the entity or to different tax jurisdictions were incorrectly offset. The Company has corrected the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022, for this immaterial error. The effects of these revisions are as follows. Revision to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022: As filed as of Revised as of December 31, Adjustments December 31, 2022 2022 ASSETS Current assets: Total current assets $ 46,099 $ - $ 46,099 Property, plant, and mine development, net 152,563 - 152,563 Deferred tax assets, net - 5,927 5,927 Other non-current assets 5,509 - 5,509 Total assets $ 204,171 $ 5,927 $ 210,098 LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Current liabilities: Total current liabilities $ 24,682 $ - $ 24,682 Reclamation and remediation liabilities 10,366 - 10,366 Gold and silver stream agreements liability 43,466 - 43,466 Deferred tax liabilities, net 9,224 5,927 15,151 Contingent consideration 2,179 - 2,179 Other non-current liabilities 2,490 - 2,490 Total liabilities 92,407 5,927 98,334 Shareholders' equity: Total shareholders' equity 111,764 - 111,764 Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $ 204,171 $ 5,927 $ 210,098 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash held in Mexican Pesos or Canadian Dollars is converted to U.S. Dollars at the closing exchange rate at year end. |
Accounts Receivable, net | Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables, which are recorded net of allowance for credit losses from the sale of doré and metals concentrates, as well as net of an embedded derivative based on mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding provisional invoices based on forward metal prices. Please see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 13. Derivatives Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 19. Fair Value Measurement |
Inventories | Inventories The major inventory categories are set forth below: Stockpile Inventories : Concentrate Inventories Doré Inventory: Materials and Supplies Inventories Write-downs of inventory, when needed, are charged to production costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Property, Plant and Mine Development | Property, Plant, and Mine Development Land and Mineral Interests Mine Development Drilling costs incurred during the production phase for operational ore control are recorded as mine development and amortized using UOP. All other drilling and related costs are expensed as incurred. Mine development costs are amortized using the UOP method based on estimated recoverable ounces in Mineral Reserves. Property and Equipment Construction in Progress Depreciation and Amortization Range of Lives Asset retirement costs UOP Furniture, computer and office equipment 3 to 10 years Light vehicles and other mobile equipment 4 years Machinery and equipment UOP to 8 years Mill facilities and related infrastructure UOP Mine development and mineral interests UOP Buildings and infrastructure UOP to 4 years |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the asset. If an impairment is indicated, a determination is made whether an impairment has occurred. Impairment losses are measured either 1) as the excess of carrying value over the total discounted estimated future cash flows, or 2) as the excess of carrying value over the fair value, using the expected fair value technique in the absence of an observable market price. Losses are charged to expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. Existing Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves are included when estimating the fair value in determining whether the assets are impaired. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions, including expected gold and other commodity prices, production levels and costs, processing recoveries, capital requirements, and estimated salvage values. It is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different from the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and costs, and capital requirements are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables from provisional concentrate sales, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The recorded amount for the equity investment in the common shares of Maritime is based on the closing share price of MAE.V on TSX-V. The company elected the fair value measurement option as the measurement basis for the equity investment in the common shares of Green Light Metals. |
Treasury Stock | Treasury Stock Treasury stock represents shares of the Company’s common stock which have been repurchased on the open market at the prevailing market price at the time of purchase and have not been canceled. Treasury stock is shown at cost as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from doré and concentrate sales. Doré sales Concentrate sales |
Production Costs | Production Costs Production costs include labor and benefits, royalties, concentrate and doré shipping costs, mining costs, fuel and lubricants, legal and professional fees related to mine operations, stock-based compensation attributable to mine workers, materials and supplies, repairs and maintenance, explosives, site support, housing and food, insurance, reagents, travel, medical services, security equipment, office rent, tools, and other costs that support mining operations. |
Exploration Costs | Exploration Costs Exploration costs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs to identify new Mineral Resources and to evaluate potential Mineral Resources are considered exploration costs. Exploration activities conducted within the defined Mineral Resources are capitalized. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition and measurement provisions of U.S. GAAP. Those provisions require all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”), and deferred share units (“DSUs”) to be measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards, with the resulting expense generally recognized on a straight-line basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the period during which services are performed in exchange for the award. The majority of the awards are earned over a service period of three years. DSUs are earned immediately at grant and are expected to be paid out in cash in the future. PSUs and DSUs are considered liability instruments and marked-to-market each reporting period. The Company's estimates may be impacted by certain variables including, but not limited to, stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors, additional stock option grants, and estimates of forfeitures. |
Reclamation and Remediation Costs | Reclamation and Remediation Costs Reclamation costs are allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation and remediation costs. Reclamation obligations are based in part on when the spending for an existing environmental disturbance will occur. The Company reviews the reclamation obligation at least on an annual basis. In 2014, the Company became a production stage company and therefore, started capitalizing asset retirement costs along with the asset retirement obligation. Please see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 10. Reclamation and Remediation Accounting for reclamation and remediation obligations requires management to make estimates unique to each mining operation of the future costs expected to be incurred to complete the reclamation and remediation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations. Actual costs incurred in future periods could differ from the amounts estimated. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations could increase the extent of reclamation and remediation work required. Any such increases in future costs could materially impact the amounts charged to operations for reclamation and remediation. |
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Accumulated other comprehensive loss is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is composed of foreign currency translation adjustment effects related to the historical adjustment when the functional currency was the Mexican peso for our Mexico subsidiary. This loss will remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets until the sale or dissolution of our Mexico subsidiary. |
Income and Mining Royalty Taxes | Income and Mining Royalty Taxes Income and Mining Royalty Taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes and the effect of net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are evaluated to determine if it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets attributable to different tax-paying components of the entity or to different tax jurisdictions are not netted against each other. Please see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 4. Income Taxes |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities, as determined using the treasury stock method, are converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, such as periods when a net loss is reported or when the exercise price of the instrument exceeds the average fair market value of the underlying common stock. |
Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency The functional currency for all of the Company’s subsidiaries is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has considered and assessed the credit risk resulting from its concentrate sales and doré sales arrangements with its customers. In the event that the Company’s relationships with its customers are interrupted for any reason, the Company believes that it would be able to locate another entity to purchase its metals concentrates and doré bars; however, any interruption could temporarily disrupt the Company’s sale of its products and materially adversely affect operating results. Currently 100% of the Company’s total net sales from operations are coming from the Arista and Alta Gracia mines at DDGM, the Company’s Oaxaca, Mexico business segment. Sales from significant customers as a percentage of sales for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were the following: For the year ended December 31, 2023 2022 Customer A 48 % 38 % Customer B 24 % 33 % Customer C 25 % - % Customer D - % 24 % The following table shows accounts receivable from significant customers as a percentage of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023 and 2022: As of As of December 31, December 31, 2023 2022 Customer A 46 % 47 % Customer B 33 % 33 % Customer C 21 % - % Customer D - % 20 % Some of the Company’s operating cash balances are maintained in accounts that currently exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes that the financial strength of the depositing institutions mitigates the underlying risk of loss. To date, these concentrations of credit risk have not had a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. |
Streaming Liabilities | Streaming Liabilities The Company presents the gold and silver streaming liabilities initially at fair value and subsequently accreted using a discount rate and risk factor probabilities. The discount rate is the Company’s estimated borrowing rate, and the probabilities consider the completion of the feasibility study, obtaining necessary permits, and the completion of the mine facilities. The adjustment in the value is the accretion of interest, which is included in other expense, net. |

This increase is a result of formalizing a tailings storage facility closure plan, the addition of the dry stack facility and the filtration plant, and the increase of inflation in Mexico. In 2023, the Company updated its closure plan study to include current disturbances, which resulted in a $1.2 million decrease in the estimated liability and ARO asset. (2) As of December 31, 2022, the Company reported the liability of $0.4 million to remediate exploration drill holes at the Back Forty Project in Michigan, USA in other non-current liabilities. As of March 31, 2023, this liability of $0.4 million was reclassified to non-current reclamation and remediation liabilities. |
