| 3. | NEW STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED |
IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 which replaces 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. The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier adoption permitted.
IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”)
In May 2014, IASB issued IFRS 15 to replace IAS 18 – Revenue, which establishes a new single five-step control-based revenue recognition model for determining the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted.
IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”) and IAS 38 – Intangibles (“IAS 38”)
IAS 16 and IAS 38 were issued in May 2014 and prohibit the use of revenue-based depreciation methods for property, plant and equipment and limit the use of revenue-based amortization for intangible assets. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 and are to be applied prospectively.
The Company has not yet completed the process of assessing the impact that IFRS 9, IFRS 15, IAS 16 and IAS 38 will have on its consolidated financial statements, or whether to early adopt these new requirements.

| | $ | 9,180,004 | | | $ | 8,287,598 | |
Value added taxes receivable (“VAT”) are taxes paid in Mexico, and are due to be refunded or deducted from income taxes payable. The Company is advised that delayed VAT refunds are currently pervasive in Mexico. The Company is working with its advisors and the authorities to expedite VAT refunds. The Company believes the balance is fully recoverable and has not provided an allowance.

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.

Ermitaño Property, Sonora, Mexico
In January 2014, SilverCrest signed an option agreement with Evrim Resources Corp. (“Evrim”) whereby the Company can acquire a 100% interest in Evrim’s Ermitaño Property in the State of Sonora, Mexico. The Ermitaño Property consists of two concessions (I and II) contiguous to the Santa Elena Mine. SilverCrest can earn a 100% interest in the Ermitaño Property by paying $75,000 upon signing (paid) and $50,000 each anniversary thereafter, completing a minimum of $500,000 in exploration expenditures in the first year (completed), and delivering a Production Notice within five years specifying mine and construction plans with accompanying permits. Upon delivery of the Production Notice, the annual payments will cease and Evrim will retain a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) on revenues from production of minerals.

La Joya Project, Mexico
The La Joya Project, located southeast of Durango City, Durango State, Mexico is comprised of fifteen mineral concessions. Nine of the 15 mineral concessions are known as the La Joya West concessions, which the Company acquired on May 24, 2013, pursuant to the Company’s full exercise of an option granted in 2010 by the original vendors of the concessions. Three of the 15 mineral concessions are known as the La Joya East concessions, for which the Company still maintains an option to purchase from the original owners. The remaining three contiguous mineral concessions were acquired directly by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SilverCrest de Mexico S.A. de C.V.
Prior to 2013, the Company held an option to acquire a 100% interest in the La Joya West concessions, which option was exercised in full on May 24, 2013 by making staged payments totaling $2,680,000 over a three year period commencing June 2010. The final payment of $2,500,000 was settled on May 24, 2013, by a combination of cash payment ($1,250,000) and the issuance of a total of 615,776 common shares of the Company at a value of $1,250,000. In March 2014, the Company released the final payment on the La Joya West concessions upon verification of title registration in Mexico. There is a 2% NSR on revenues from production of minerals.
On November 25, 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the three La Joya East concessions. Under the terms of the original option agreement, the Company may exercise its option to acquire the La Joya East concessions by making staged payments totaling $1,500,000 over a three year period commencing January 2011 (of which $912,500 has been paid). On November 6, 2013, the Company amended the La Joya East option agreement so that the final payment of $1,175,000 may be paid in two equal cash payments in the amount of $587,500 each, with the first payment having been made on May 6, 2014 and the second and final payment due May 6, 2015. In March 2015, the Company renegotiated the final payment on the La Joya East option agreement, whereby 30% of the $587,500, or $176,250, was paid on May 6, 2015, and the remaining balance plus an additional 5% interest, or $431,813, is due on May 6, 2016. There is a 2% NSR on revenues from production of minerals. Of the total option payments, $750,000 shall be deemed to be advanced royalty payments made on account of the NSR.
On May 14, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Purchase Agreement”) under which the Company’s wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary, Nusantara de Mexico S.A. de C.V., agreed to sell 20% of future gold production from the Santa Elena Project to Sandstorm in exchange for of $12,000,000 (“Upfront Deposit”) and 3,500,000 common shares of Sandstorm and ongoing per-ounce payments by Sandstorm equal to the lesser of $350 and the prevailing spot gold market price upon delivery of gold until a total of 50,000 ounces of gold have been delivered. The per ounce price of $350 is subject to an increase of 1% per annum commencing April 1, 2014.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company could have been required to return a portion of the Upfront Deposit if certain production levels were not achieved. Therefore, the Upfront Deposit and fair value of the shares were treated as deferred revenue. As deliveries of gold are made to Sandstorm, the Company recognizes a portion of the deferred revenue as operating revenue. The amount recognized for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, is based on the proportion of gold ounces sold to Sandstorm in the period, to 50,000 (2014 – 50,000) ounces of gold deliverable to Sandstorm.
In February 2014 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company received notice of Sandstorm’s election to participate in the underground mine in exchange for an additional upfront deposit of $10 million and an increase to $450 per ounce of gold once a total of 50,000 ounces of gold has been delivered under the Purchase Agreement. The Company recorded the additional $10 million upfront deposit as a reduction to the carrying value of the Santa Elena EIP asset (note 6) as there are no requirements to return any portion of the deposit.

On July 11, 2013, SilverCrest entered into a three year $40 million secured corporate credit facility (the “Facility”) with the Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”). The Facility is principally secured by a pledge of the Company’s equity interests in its material subsidiaries, including Nusantara de Mexico S.A. de C.V., and SilverCrest de Mexico S.A. de C.V., and their assets. SilverCrest drew down $15 million from the Facility in February, 2014 to fund Santa Elena expansion expenditures.
On July 11, 2014, the available credit limit of the Facility was reduced by $10 million to $30 million leaving $15 million available for further drawdown. The credit limit will reduce by a further $10 million on July 11, 2015, and then mature on July 11, 2016, subject to a one year extension of these dates by mutual agreement.
Depending on the Company’s total indebtedness to EBITDA ratio, the interest rate margin on the Facility will, at the Company’s election, range from 3.00% to 4.25% over LIBOR, or 2.00% to 3.25% over Scotiabank’s Base Rate in Canada. The Facility is subject to standby fees and interest is currently payable at the rate of 3.26% per annum.
The availability of the Facility is subject to various qualitative and quantitative covenants, including a current ratio, a debt to EBITDA leverage ratio, interest service coverage ratio and a tangible net worth calculation. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants as at March 31, 2015. During the three month period ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred $117,600 (2014 – $53,931) in interest expense under the Facility, of which $nil (2014 – $53,931) was capitalized to Santa Elena EIP and $117,600 (2014 – $nil) was included in “Finance costs” in the statement of operations and comprehensive earnings. During the three month period ended March 31, 2015, standby fees on the Facility amounted to $29,287 (2014 – $61,699) which is included in Finance costs.
In fiscal 2013, the Company deferred $514,758 of incremental costs associated with the set-up of the Facility. These costs are being amortized over the three year term of the Facility. During the three month period ended March 31, 2015, the Company amortized $42,309 (2014 – $42,309), included in Finance costs in the statement of operations and comprehensive earnings. The unamortized portion as at March 31, 2015, amounting to $219,536 (December 31, 2014 – $261,845), is included in “Deferred finance costs” on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Financial instruments carrying value and fair value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and credit facility. The fair values of amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the credit facility 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 are measured using Level 1 inputs.
The composition of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
| | March 31, 2015 | | | December 31, 2014 | |

The Company has three reportable segments, those being the mine operations at Santa Elena, Mexico; mine exploration and evaluation properties at Ermitaño, La Joya and other exploration properties, Mexico; and Corporate. The Company has identified these reporting segments based on the internal reports reviewed and used by the Chief Operating Officer, its chief operating decision maker, in allocating resources and assessing performance. Operations whose revenue, earnings or losses or assets exceed 10% of the total consolidated revenues, earnings or losses, or assets are reportable segments. The Company does not treat gold and silver concentrate production as separate operating segments as they are the output of the same production process and only become separately identifiable as finished goods and are not reported separately from a management perspective. Exploration and evaluation properties have been aggregated into a single reportable segment where they have similar characteristics and do not have assets which exceed 10% of total reportable assets. The Corporate segment is responsible for the evaluation and acquisition of new mineral properties, management of cash and cash equivalents, regulatory reporting and general corporate activities conducted in Canada and Mexico.
