BASIS OF PRESENTATION (a) Statement of compliance These audited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance These audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments, which are stated at their fair value. These audited consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on March 18, 2024. (b) Principles of consolidation These audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Control exists when the Company has power over the investee, is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Subsidiaries and controlled entities are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date that control is obtained up to the effective date of disposal or loss of control. The principal wholly-owned subsidiary as at December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 These audited consolidated financial statements also include the Company’s 44% interest in each of Minera Juanicipio, S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Juanicipio”) and Equipos Chaparral, S.A. de C.V.

Disclosure of material accounting policy information [text block] | 3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these audited consolidated financial statements have been applied consistently for all years presented except as disclosed in Note 4 The significant judgements the Company made in applying its accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty arising in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are discussed in Note 5. (a) Foreign currencies (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each statement of financial position date, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the period end foreign exchange rate whereas non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are stated at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the rate on the date that the fair value was determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. (ii) Functional currency and presentation currency The functional currency of the parent, its subsidiaries, and its associates, including the Juanicipio Mine, is the United States dollar (“US$”). The Company’s reporting and presentation currency is the US$. (b) Inventories Inventories at Juanicipio include production inventory, and materials and supplies inventory. All inventories at Juanicipio are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method and includes all costs incurred, based on a normal production capacity, in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any further costs expected to be incurred to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. (i) Production inventories Production inventory consists of stockpiled ore, work-in-process, and concentrate. The cost of production inventories includes: ● operating costs, which include employee costs, material costs and contractor expenses which are directly attributable to the extraction and processing of mineralized material; ● amortization of property, plant and equipment used in the extraction and processing of mineralized material; and ● related production overheads. The assumptions used in the valuation of inventories include estimates of the amount of recoverable metal in the stockpile and an assumption of the metal prices expected to be realized when the metal is recovered. (ii) Materials and supplies inventory An allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories is determined by reference to specific items of inventory based on usage profile. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of such an allowance. (c) Investments in associates The Company conducts the majority of its business through an equity interest in associates. An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence, and is neither a subsidiary nor a joint arrangement, and includes the Company’s 44% interest in each of Minera Juanicipio, S.A. de C.V. and Equipos Chaparral, S.A. de C.V., both Mexican incorporated companies (Note 9, not The Company accounts for its investment in associates using the equity method. The Company aggregates its disclosures required under IFRS for interests in associates effectively involved in advancing the same business objective. Under the equity method, the Company’s investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and subsequently increased or decreased to reflect additional contributions or distributions and to recognize the Company's share of earnings and losses of the associate and for impairment losses after the initial recognition date. The Company's share of earnings and losses of associates are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income during the year. Intercompany interest on loans from the Company to its associates is recorded against its share of income from equity accounted investment, rather than as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Distributions received from an associate are accounted for as a reduction in the carrying amount of the Company’s investment. Impairment At the end of each reporting year, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that an investment in associate is impaired. The Company has performed an assessment for impairment indicators of its investments in associates as of December 31, 2023 no not not (d) Exploration and evaluation assets With respect to its exploration activities, the Company follows the practice of capitalizing all costs relating to the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of its mining rights. Option payments made by the Company are capitalized until the decision to exercise the option is made. If the option agreement is to exercise a purchase option in an underlying mineral property, the costs are capitalized and accounted for as an exploration and evaluation asset. If a mineable ore body is discovered, exploration and evaluation costs are reclassified to mining properties. At such time as commercial production commences, the capitalized costs will be depleted on a units-of-production method (“UOP”). If no no Exploration and evaluation expenditures include acquisition costs of rights to explore; topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies; exploratory drilling; trenching and sampling; all costs incurred to obtain permits and other licenses required to conduct such activities, including legal, community, strategic and consulting fees; and activities involved in evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources. This includes the costs incurred in determining the most appropriate mining/processing methods and developing feasibility studies. Expenditures incurred on a prospective property prior to the Company obtaining the right to explore it, are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable, the underlying project enters the development phase and exploration and evaluation assets are reclassified to mine development costs. Key considerations in concluding a project has entered development phase include, but are not Impairment Management reviews the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets for impairment when facts or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount is not no may not not (e) Property, plant and equipment and mine development costs Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate equipment items (major components). Amortization is based on the depreciable amount, which is the cost of the asset, less its expected residual value. Amortization of the 44% The mine entered commercial production in January 2022 June 2023. Amortization on 100% The amortization rates for 100% Building 4% declining balance Computer and office equipment 30% declining balance Exploration camp and equipment 30% declining balance Right-of-use asset straight-line over the earlier of the end of the lease term or useful life of the asset Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting year and adjusted if appropriate. (f) Provisions Provisions are liabilities that are uncertain in timing or amount. The Company records a provision when and only when: (i) The Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; (ii) It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Constructive obligations are obligations that derive from the Company’s actions where: (i) By an established pattern of past practice, published policies or a sufficiently specific current statement, the Company has indicated to other parties that it will accept certain responsibilities; and (ii) As a result, the Company has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it will discharge those responsibilities. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting year and adjusted to reflect management’s current best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting year. If it is no Closure and reclamation A provision for mine closure cost is made in respect of the estimated future costs of closure, restoration and for environmental rehabilitation costs (which include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure, removal of residual materials and remediation of disturbed areas) based on a mine closure plan, in the accounting year when the related environmental disturbance occurs. The provision is discounted and the unwinding of the discount is included within finance costs. At the time of establishing the provision, a corresponding asset is capitalized where it gives rise to a future economic benefit and is depreciated over future production from the mine to which it relates. The provision is reviewed on an annual basis for changes in cost estimates, discount rates or life of operations. Changes to estimated future costs are recognized in the statement of financial position by adjusting the mine closure cost liability and the related asset originally recognized. Decommissioning assets depreciate over the estimated production period of the mining and processing facilities. The depreciation and amortization charge is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as part of production costs. (g) Income taxes Income tax is comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year of each entity in the consolidated group, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting year. Deferred income taxes relate to the expected future tax consequences of unused tax losses and unused tax credits and differences between the carrying amount of statement of financial position items and their corresponding tax values. Deferred tax assets, if any, are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available to recover the asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of substantive enactment. (h) Financial instruments Financial assets Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (“FVTPL”), fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. (i) Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Equity instruments that are held for trading and all equity derivative instruments are classified as FVTPL. (ii) Financial assets at FVTOCI Equity instruments that are designated at FVTOCI are initially recorded at fair value plus transaction costs with all subsequent changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). For investments in equity instruments that are not not (iii) Financial assets at amortized cost Financial assets are classified at amortized cost if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of contractual cash flows, and the assets’ contractual cash flows are comprised solely of payments of principal and interest. The Company’s loans to Mineria Juanicipio, S.A. de C.V. and Equipos Chaparral, S.A. de C.V., and accounts receivable are recorded at amortized cost as they meet the required criteria. A provision is recorded based on the expected credit losses for the financial asset and reflects changes in the expected credit losses at each reporting year (see impairment below). Impairment IFRS 9 Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as derivatives) or the Company has elected to measure at FVTPL. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables which are classified at amortized cost. (i) Debt Debt is initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Debt is subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income over the period of the debt using the effective interest method. (j) Share capital The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of issue costs. The Company records proceeds from the exercise of stock options as share capital in the amount for which the option enabled the holder to purchase a share in the Company. Share capital issued for non-monetary consideration is recorded at the fair value of the non-monetary consideration received, or at the fair value of the shares issued if the fair value of the non-monetary consideration cannot be measured reliably, on the date of issue. (k) Share-based compensation The fair value of equity-settled share-based compensation awards are estimated as of the date of the grant and recorded as share-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income over their vesting periods, with a corresponding increase in equity. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met. Market price performance conditions are included in the fair value estimate on the grant date with no The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of restricted and deferred share units, is based on the fair market value of a common share equivalent on the date of grant. The fair value of performance share units awarded with market price conditions is determined using the Monte Carlo pricing model and the fair value of performance share units with non-market performance conditions is based on the fair market value of a common share equivalent on the date of grant. (l) Revenue The Juanicipio Mine recognizes revenue for silver, gold, lead and zinc from concentrate sales, net of treatment and refining charges, when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring control of the concentrate to the customer. This generally occurs as material is received at the customer’s plant, as the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the material and the customer has the risk of loss. The Juanicipio revenues are based on estimated metal quantities based on assay data and on a provisional price. The receivable is marked to market for changes in price differences each year prior to final settlement. The Juanicipio Mine also adjusts estimated metal quantities used in computing provisional revenues based on new information and assay data from the smelter/refinery as it is received (if any). MAG only includes in the transaction price the amount which is not 15th (m) Income per common share Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, and upon the assumed conversion of deferred share units and units issued under the Company’s share unit plan, to the extent their inclusion is not (n) Asset acquisitions Upon the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets and liabilities that does not not |

Disclosure of accounting judgements and estimates [text block] | 5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES (a) Significant judgements In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company makes judgments when applying its accounting policies. The judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are outlined below. (i) Equity investments In the normal course of operations, the Company may not ● The purpose and design of the investee entity. ● The ability to exercise power, through substantive rights, over the activities of the investee entity that significantly affect its returns. ● The size of the company’s equity ownership and voting rights, including potential voting rights. ● The size and dispersion of other voting interests, including the existence of voting blocks. ● Other investments in or relationships with the investee entity including, but not ● Other relevant and pertinent factors. If the Company determines that it controls an investee entity, it consolidates the investee entity’s financial statements as further described in Note 3. 3. 3. (ii) Impairment of non-current assets Non-current assets are tested for impairment at the end of each reporting year if, in management’s judgement, there is an indicator of impairment. Management applies significant judgment in assessing whether indicators of impairment exist that would necessitate impairment testing.

These risks may (a) Market risk The Company conducts the majority of its business through its equity interest in its associates, Juanicipio (Note 9 not not December 31, 2023. (b) Credit risk Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on its obligations under the contract. This includes any cash amounts owed to the Company by those counterparties, less any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Company where a legal right of set-off exists and also includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are recorded in the financial statements. (i) Trade credit risk Juanicipio, in which the Company has a 44% interest, has revenue from its operations as described in Note 9. not (ii) Cash In order to manage credit and liquidity risk, the Company’s practice is to invest only in highly rated investment grade instruments backed by Canadian commercial banks, and in the case of its Mexican and US operations, the Company maintains minimal cash in its US and Mexican subsidiaries. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of its cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable from Juanicipio which is classified as an Investment in Juanicipio in the audited consolidated statements of financial position, as follows: December 31, December 31, 2023 2022 $ $ Cash 68,707 29,955 Accounts receivable (Note 8) 1,559 708 Juanicipio loans (Notes 9 & 18) 94,414 104,653 164,680 135,316 (c) Liquidity risk The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements, its exploration and mineral projects advancement plans, and its various optional property and other commitments (Notes 9, 10 18 To increase its flexibility with regards to access to capital, on October 4, 2023 13 The Company estimates it has the ability to fund the next 12 not December 31, 2022. may (d) Currency risk The Company is exposed to the financial risks related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates, both in the Mexican peso and C$, relative to the US$.

Alternatively, a depreciation in the Mexican peso relative to the US$ will decrease the Company’s cost of operations in Mexico (reported in US$) related to those operating costs denominated and determined in Mexican pesos.

Description of accounting policy for foreign currency translation [text block] | (a) Foreign currencies (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each statement of financial position date, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the period end foreign exchange rate whereas non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are stated at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the rate on the date that the fair value was determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. (ii) Functional currency and presentation currency The functional currency of the parent, its subsidiaries, and its associates, including the Juanicipio Mine, is the United States dollar (“US$”). The Company’s reporting and presentation currency is the US$. |
Description of accounting policy for measuring inventories [text block] | (b) Inventories Inventories at Juanicipio include production inventory, and materials and supplies inventory. All inventories at Juanicipio are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method and includes all costs incurred, based on a normal production capacity, in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any further costs expected to be incurred to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. (i) Production inventories Production inventory consists of stockpiled ore, work-in-process, and concentrate. The cost of production inventories includes: ● operating costs, which include employee costs, material costs and contractor expenses which are directly attributable to the extraction and processing of mineralized material; ● amortization of property, plant and equipment used in the extraction and processing of mineralized material; and ● related production overheads. The assumptions used in the valuation of inventories include estimates of the amount of recoverable metal in the stockpile and an assumption of the metal prices expected to be realized when the metal is recovered. (ii) Materials and supplies inventory An allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories is determined by reference to specific items of inventory based on usage profile. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of such an allowance. |
Description of accounting policy for investment in associates [text block] | (c) Investments in associates The Company conducts the majority of its business through an equity interest in associates. An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence, and is neither a subsidiary nor a joint arrangement, and includes the Company’s 44% interest in each of Minera Juanicipio, S.A. de C.V. and Equipos Chaparral, S.A. de C.V., both Mexican incorporated companies (Note 9, not The Company accounts for its investment in associates using the equity method. The Company aggregates its disclosures required under IFRS for interests in associates effectively involved in advancing the same business objective. Under the equity method, the Company’s investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and subsequently increased or decreased to reflect additional contributions or distributions and to recognize the Company's share of earnings and losses of the associate and for impairment losses after the initial recognition date. The Company's share of earnings and losses of associates are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income during the year. Intercompany interest on loans from the Company to its associates is recorded against its share of income from equity accounted investment, rather than as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Distributions received from an associate are accounted for as a reduction in the carrying amount of the Company’s investment. Impairment At the end of each reporting year, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that an investment in associate is impaired. The Company has performed an assessment for impairment indicators of its investments in associates as of December 31, 2023 no not not |
Description of accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures [text block] | (d) Exploration and evaluation assets With respect to its exploration activities, the Company follows the practice of capitalizing all costs relating to the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of its mining rights. Option payments made by the Company are capitalized until the decision to exercise the option is made. If the option agreement is to exercise a purchase option in an underlying mineral property, the costs are capitalized and accounted for as an exploration and evaluation asset. If a mineable ore body is discovered, exploration and evaluation costs are reclassified to mining properties. At such time as commercial production commences, the capitalized costs will be depleted on a units-of-production method (“UOP”). If no no Exploration and evaluation expenditures include acquisition costs of rights to explore; topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies; exploratory drilling; trenching and sampling; all costs incurred to obtain permits and other licenses required to conduct such activities, including legal, community, strategic and consulting fees; and activities involved in evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources. This includes the costs incurred in determining the most appropriate mining/processing methods and developing feasibility studies. Expenditures incurred on a prospective property prior to the Company obtaining the right to explore it, are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable, the underlying project enters the development phase and exploration and evaluation assets are reclassified to mine development costs. Key considerations in concluding a project has entered development phase include, but are not Impairment Management reviews the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets for impairment when facts or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount is not no may not not |
Description of accounting policy for property, plant and equipment [text block] | (e) Property, plant and equipment and mine development costs Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate equipment items (major components). Amortization is based on the depreciable amount, which is the cost of the asset, less its expected residual value. Amortization of the 44% The mine entered commercial production in January 2022 June 2023. Amortization on 100% The amortization rates for 100% Building 4% declining balance Computer and office equipment 30% declining balance Exploration camp and equipment 30% declining balance Right-of-use asset straight-line over the earlier of the end of the lease term or useful life of the asset Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting year and adjusted if appropriate. |
Description of accounting policy for provisions [text block] | (f) Provisions Provisions are liabilities that are uncertain in timing or amount. The Company records a provision when and only when: (i) The Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; (ii) It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Constructive obligations are obligations that derive from the Company’s actions where: (i) By an established pattern of past practice, published policies or a sufficiently specific current statement, the Company has indicated to other parties that it will accept certain responsibilities; and (ii) As a result, the Company has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it will discharge those responsibilities. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting year and adjusted to reflect management’s current best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting year. If it is no Closure and reclamation A provision for mine closure cost is made in respect of the estimated future costs of closure, restoration and for environmental rehabilitation costs (which include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure, removal of residual materials and remediation of disturbed areas) based on a mine closure plan, in the accounting year when the related environmental disturbance occurs. The provision is discounted and the unwinding of the discount is included within finance costs. At the time of establishing the provision, a corresponding asset is capitalized where it gives rise to a future economic benefit and is depreciated over future production from the mine to which it relates. The provision is reviewed on an annual basis for changes in cost estimates, discount rates or life of operations. Changes to estimated future costs are recognized in the statement of financial position by adjusting the mine closure cost liability and the related asset originally recognized. Decommissioning assets depreciate over the estimated production period of the mining and processing facilities. The depreciation and amortization charge is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as part of production costs. |
Description of accounting policy for deferred income tax [text block] | (g) Income taxes Income tax is comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year of each entity in the consolidated group, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting year. Deferred income taxes relate to the expected future tax consequences of unused tax losses and unused tax credits and differences between the carrying amount of statement of financial position items and their corresponding tax values. Deferred tax assets, if any, are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available to recover the asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of substantive enactment. |
Description of accounting policy for financial instruments [text block] | (h) Financial instruments Financial assets Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (“FVTPL”), fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. (i) Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Equity instruments that are held for trading and all equity derivative instruments are classified as FVTPL. (ii) Financial assets at FVTOCI Equity instruments that are designated at FVTOCI are initially recorded at fair value plus transaction costs with all subsequent changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). For investments in equity instruments that are not not (iii) Financial assets at amortized cost Financial assets are classified at amortized cost if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of contractual cash flows, and the assets’ contractual cash flows are comprised solely of payments of principal and interest. The Company’s loans to Mineria Juanicipio, S.A. de C.V. and Equipos Chaparral, S.A. de C.V., and accounts receivable are recorded at amortized cost as they meet the required criteria. A provision is recorded based on the expected credit losses for the financial asset and reflects changes in the expected credit losses at each reporting year (see impairment below). Impairment IFRS 9 Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as derivatives) or the Company has elected to measure at FVTPL. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables which are classified at amortized cost. |
Description of accounting policy for debt [text block] | (i) Debt Debt is initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Debt is subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income over the period of the debt using the effective interest method. |
Description of accounting policy for share issuances [text block] | (j) Share capital The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of issue costs. The Company records proceeds from the exercise of stock options as share capital in the amount for which the option enabled the holder to purchase a share in the Company. Share capital issued for non-monetary consideration is recorded at the fair value of the non-monetary consideration received, or at the fair value of the shares issued if the fair value of the non-monetary consideration cannot be measured reliably, on the date of issue. |
Description of accounting policy for share-based payment transactions [text block] | (k) Share-based compensation The fair value of equity-settled share-based compensation awards are estimated as of the date of the grant and recorded as share-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income over their vesting periods, with a corresponding increase in equity. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met. Market price performance conditions are included in the fair value estimate on the grant date with no The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of restricted and deferred share units, is based on the fair market value of a common share equivalent on the date of grant. The fair value of performance share units awarded with market price conditions is determined using the Monte Carlo pricing model and the fair value of performance share units with non-market performance conditions is based on the fair market value of a common share equivalent on the date of grant. |
Description of accounting policy for recognition of revenue [text block] | (l) Revenue The Juanicipio Mine recognizes revenue for silver, gold, lead and zinc from concentrate sales, net of treatment and refining charges, when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring control of the concentrate to the customer. This generally occurs as material is received at the customer’s plant, as the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the material and the customer has the risk of loss. The Juanicipio revenues are based on estimated metal quantities based on assay data and on a provisional price. The receivable is marked to market for changes in price differences each year prior to final settlement. The Juanicipio Mine also adjusts estimated metal quantities used in computing provisional revenues based on new information and assay data from the smelter/refinery as it is received (if any). MAG only includes in the transaction price the amount which is not 15th |
Description of accounting policy for earnings per share [text block] | (m) Income per common share Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, and upon the assumed conversion of deferred share units and units issued under the Company’s share unit plan, to the extent their inclusion is not |
