1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
SilverCrest Mines Inc. (“SilverCrest” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the jurisdiction of the Province of British Columbia, Canada pursuant to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. The Company is engaged in mining at the Santa Elena Mine in Mexico and is involved in related activities including acquisition, exploration, development, extraction, processing and reclamation.
The head office and principal address of the Company is 570 Granville Street, Suite 501, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3P1. The address of the Company’s registered and records office is 19th Floor, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3E8. SilverCrest is a public company which is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (under the symbol SVL) and the NYSE MKT (under the symbol SVLC).
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the board of directors of the Company on May 14, 2013.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of Compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with SilverCrest’s most recently issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies, use of judgments and estimates were presented in Note 2 of these consolidated financial statements, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Basis of Preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of SilverCrest and its wholly-owned subsidiaries NorCrest Silver Inc., and SVL Minerals Ltd. (both incorporated under the laws of Canada), and Nusantara de Mexico S.A. de C.V., Santa Elena Oro y Plata S.A. de C.V., Minera de Cerro Santo S.A. de C.V., Magellan Exploracion S.A. de C.V. and SilverCrest de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (all incorporated under the laws of Mexico). All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses, and profits or losses have been eliminated on consolidation.
SilverCrest consolidates subsidiaries where the Company has the ability to exercise control. Control is achieved when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity. Control is normally achieved through ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the voting power. Control can also be achieved through power over more than half of the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other investors or through the exercise of de facto control.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
Use of Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the valuation of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the period.
These judgments and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. Actual results may differ from the amounts included in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
The key areas where judgments, estimates and assumptions have been made are summarized as follows:
· | Estimates of the quantities of proven and probable reserves and the portion of resources considered to be probable of economic extraction, which are used in: the calculation of depletion expense; the capitalization of production phase stripping costs; and, forecasting the timing of the payments related to the asset retirement obligations. SilverCrest estimates ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by qualified persons as defined in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects requirements; |
· | Estimates of ounces of gold/silver ore in stockpiles and on leach pads that are based on the number of tonnes added, the gold/silver contained therein and the metallurgical recovery rate; |
· | The determination of the date on which a mine commences commercial production, since capitalization of certain costs and revenues ceases upon commencing commercial production; |
· | The determination that costs related to exploration drilling, evaluation studies and other development work that have been capitalized have probable future benefit and are economically recoverable; |
· | The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and the measurement of depreciation expense; |
· | The estimated fair values of cash generating units for non-current asset impairment tests; |
· | Recognition of provisions for asset retirement obligations, including the estimation of the rehabilitation costs, timing of expenditures, the impact of changes in discount rates, and changes in environmental and regulatory requirements; |
· | The determination of the Company’s functional currencies; |
· | The estimation of the tax basis of assets and liabilities and related deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the measurement of income tax expense, and indirect taxes; |
· | The determination of the fair value of derivative instruments, agent warrants in capital stock, and inputs used in accounting for share-based compensation; and |
· | The recoverability of amounts receivable and value added taxes receivable. |
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company has adopted the following new standards, along with any consequential amendments, effective January 1, 2013. These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements to replace IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The new consolidation standard changes the definition of control so that the same criteria apply to all entities, both operating and special purpose entities, to determine control. The revised definition focuses on the need to have both power and variable returns before control is present. Management conducted a review of all of the Company’s entities and determined that the adoption of IFRS 10 did not result in any change in the consolidation status of any of the Company’s subsidiaries.

THREE MONTHS ENDED March 31, 2013 and 2012 | TSX.V:SVL NYSE MKT: SVLC |
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements to replace IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures. The new standard defines two types of arrangements: Joint Operations and Joint Ventures. The focus of the standard is to reflect the rights and obligations of the parties involved in the joint arrangement, regardless of whether the joint arrangement operates through a separate legal entity. Joint arrangements that are classified as joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Joint arrangements that are classified as joint operations require the venturers to recognize the individual assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses to which they have legal rights or are responsible. The adoption of IFRS 11 had no impact as SilverCrest does not currently hold interests in Joint Arrangements.
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities to create a comprehensive disclosure standard to address the requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates including the reporting entity’s involvement with other entities. It also includes the requirements for unconsolidated structured entities (i.e. special purpose entities). We have adopted IFRS 12 effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of IFRS 12 will result in incremental disclosures in our annual consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement as a single source of guidance for all fair value measurements required by IFRS to reduce the complexity and improve consistency across its application. The standard provides a definition of fair value and guidance on how to measure fair value as well as a requirement for enhanced disclosures. We have adopted IFRS 13 on a prospective basis. Refer to disclosures on fair value measurement in note 16.

In October 2011, the IASB issued IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine. IFRIC 20 provides guidance on the accounting for the costs of stripping activities during the production phase of surface mining when two benefits accrue to the entity as a result of the stripping: useable ore that can be used to produce inventory and improved access to further quantities of material that will be mined in future periods. IFRIC 20 was adopted effective January 1, 2013 and had no impact in comparative periods.
4. NEW STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
In November 2009, the IASB issued IFRS 9 Financial Instruments as the first step in its project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on an entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow of the financial asset. Classification is made at the time the financial asset is initially recognized, namely when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
IFRS 9 amends some of the requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, including added disclosures about investments in equity instruments measured at fair value in other comprehensive income, and guidance on financial liabilities and derecognition of financial instruments. In December 2011, the IASB issued an amendment that adjusted the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 from January 1, 2013 to January 1, 2015.
IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation (“IAS 32”) - The IASB amended IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation” to clarify certain aspects because of diversity in application of the requirements on offsetting, focused on four main areas:
· | the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’; |
· | the application of simultaneous realization and settlement; |
· | the offsetting of collateral amounts; and |
· | the unit of account for applying the offsetting requirements. |
The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.
The Company has not yet completed the process of assessing the impact that IFRS 9 and IAS 32 will have on its consolidated financial statements, or whether to early adopt these new requirements.

7. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing except as otherwise disclosed. However, this should not be considered as a guarantee of title. The mineral properties may be subject to prior claims or agreements, or transfers and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company is exposed to various financial instrument risks and assesses the impact and likelihood of this exposure. These risks include liquidity risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company maintains adequate cash balances in order to meet short and long term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations, and believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the likely short and long term cash requirements. The Company’s cash is invested in business accounts with quality financial institutions and is available on demand for the Company’s programs, and is not invested in any asset backed commercial paper.
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and value added taxes receivable. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash and cash equivalents and short term investments with high-credit quality financial institutions. Receivables are due primarily from government agencies in Canada and Mexico.
The Company operates in Canada and Mexico, and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency. The operating results and the financial position of the Company are reported in United States dollars. The fluctuations of the operating currencies in relation to the United States dollar will, consequently, have an impact upon the reporting results of the Company, and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.
At March 31, 2013, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities held in the following United States dollar equivalents:
| | Canadian Dollar | | | US Dollar | | | Mexican Peso | | | Total | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 3,556,673 | | | $ | 17,545,963 | | | $ | 14,084 | | | $ | 21,116,720 | |
Short term investments | | | - | | | | 20,000,000 | | | | - | | | | 20,000,000 | |
Amounts receivable | | | 287,152 | | | | 137,727 | | | | 17,611 | | | | 442,490 | |
Value added taxes receivable | | | - | | | | - | | | | 6,584,018 | | | | 6,584,018 | |
Total Assets | | | 3,843,825 | | | | 37,683,690 | | | | 6,615,713 | | | | 48,143,228 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | | 1,547,957 | | | | 1,741,254 | | | | 793,462 | | | | 4,082,673 | |
Total Liabilities | | | 1,547,957 | | | | 1,741,254 | | | | 793,462 | | | | 4,082,673 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net Assets | | $ | 2,295,868 | | | $ | 35,942,436 | | | $ | 5,822,251 | | | $ | 44,060,555 | |
Based on the above net exposures at March 31, 2013, a 10% appreciation (depreciation) of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar and Mexican Peso, with all other variables held constant, would result in approximately an $812,000 decrease (increase) in the Company’s comprehensive earnings for the period.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
At December 31, 2012, the Company was exposed to foreign currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities held in the following United States dollar equivalents:
| | Canadian Dollar | | | US Dollar | | | Mexican Peso | | | Total | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 4,662,882 | | | $ | 23,330,312 | | | $ | 153,855 | | | $ | 28,147,049 | |
Short term investments | | | - | | | | 20,000,000 | | | | - | | | | 20,000,000 | |
Amounts receivable | | | 309,707 | | | | 184,674 | | | | 2,623 | | | | 497,004 | |
Value added taxes receivable | | | - | | | | - | | | | 6,355,457 | | | | 6,355,457 | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | | 972,464 | | | | 1,575,816 | | | | 1,027,762 | | | | 3,576,042 | |
Total Liabilities | | | 972,464 | | | | 1,575,816 | | | | 1,027,762 | | | | 3,576,042 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net Assets | | $ | 4,000,125 | | | $ | 41,939,170 | | | $ | 5,484,173 | | | $ | 51,423,468 | |
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the interest rate impact on its cash and cash equivalents and short term investments. The Company’s practice has been to invest cash at floating rates of interest, in cash equivalents and short term investments, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. There is minimal risk that the Company would recognize any loss as a result of a decrease in the fair value of any term deposit or guaranteed bank investment certificate as they are held with large and stable financial institutions. At March 31, 2013, with all other variables unchanged, a 1 percentage point change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the Company’s comprehensive earnings for the period.
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The commodity price risk could affect the completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. The Company closely monitors prices of precious metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. At March 31, 2013, the Company has not entered into any agreement or purchased any instruments to hedge possible commodity risks.
Financial instruments carrying value and fair value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, amounts receivable, value added taxes receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair values of amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short term to maturities of these financial instruments.
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short term investments are classified as Level 1 financial instruments.

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
a) | 25,000 incentive stock options were exercised at CAD$1.05 per share for cash proceeds of $25,725. |
b) | On April 2, the Company became aware of a claim commenced by the Agrarian Community of Banamichi against SilverCrest's subsidiary, Nusantara de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. before the Agrarian Tribunal for the State of Sonora, Mexico (the "Agrarian Lawsuit"). The Agrarian Lawsuit seeks, among other things, a) rescission of the Land Occupation Agreement at Santa Elena claiming default by Nusantara in making certain payments and b) termination of the Land Occupation Agreement for failure to comply with certain formal requirements. The Company has made all payments and complied with all formalities as required. The Company's Mexican counsel is of the view that the Company's Land Occupation Agreement is valid and enforceable and that the claim has very little likelihood of succeeding. In the unlikely event that the claim were to succeed, under Mexican law, surface access for exploitation of mining rights has priority over all other surface land use. In the absence of a negotiated Land Occupation Agreement, the Mexican mining authorities will impose a mandatory land occupation agreement based on market fees for usage which are substantially below those paid by SilverCrest under the current Land Occupation Agreement. The Company is defending this claim and does not consider it would have a material impact on its operations, even in the unlikely event it were successful. |
