Summary of significant accounting policies [Abstract]
Summary of significant accounting policies	3. Summary of significant accounting policies The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are as follows: a. Consolidation These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries, including special purpose entities). Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Where the Company’s interest in a subsidiary is less than 100%, the Company recognizes non-controlling interests. All intercompany transactions and balances, income and expenses have been eliminated. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company elects on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis whether to measure non-controlling interest at its fair value, or at its proportionate share of the recognized amount of identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Special Purpose Entities (“SPE’s”) as defined by the IASB in SIC 12 Consolidation–Special Purpose Entities b. Segment reporting An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. Determination of operating segments are based on the reports reviewed by the chief operating decision makers that are used to make strategic decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and performance assessment, and for which discrete financial information is available. Unallocated items not directly attributable to a segment comprise mainly of corporate assets and head office expenses. c. Presentation currency and functional currency The Company’s presentation currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), and the functional currency of its U.S. and Mexican subsidiaries and SPE’s is the USD. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated into the presentation currency. Assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate at period end, and income, expenses and cash flow items are translated using the rate that approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions (the average rate for the period). All resulting exchange differences are recorded in the foreign currency translation reserve. d. Foreign currency translations Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the entities’ functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated at the rate in effect at the statement of financial position date, and non-monetary items at historic exchange rates at each transaction date. Revenue and expense items are translated at average exchange rates of the reporting period. Gains and losses on translation are charged to the statements of loss and comprehensive loss. e. Revenue recognition The Company applies the following five-step approach in recognizing revenue from contracts with customers: ● Identify the enforceable contract with the customer. ● Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract from transferring the distinct good or service. ● Determine the transaction price for consideration of transferring the good or service. ● Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations identified. ● Recognize revenue when each separate performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue through entering into concentrate sales contracts with customers with the performance obligation of delivering its concentrate production in exchange for consideration valued initially under provisional pricing arrangements. Revenue from sales is recorded at the time of delivery based on forward prices for the expected date of final settlement. The final sale prices are determined by quoted market prices in a period subsequent to the date of sale. Subsequent variations in metal prices are recognized as embedded derivative pricing adjustments at fair value from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes deferred revenue from advanced consideration received for fixed and variable precious metals deliveries over a specified period. Deferred revenue is recognized into revenue as performance obligations to metals delivery are satisfied over the term of the delivery contract. The Company recognizes revenue when control of finished gold and silver, shipped in doré form, has transferred to the customer. The sale price is fixed on the date of sale primarily based on the gold and silver spot price in the London spot market. f. Defined benefit plans The cost of defined benefit plans is determined using the projected unit credit method. The related pension liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. Actuarial valuations for defined benefit plans are carried out annually. The discount rate applied in arriving at the present value of the pension liability represents the yield on high quality corporate bonds denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability. Actuarial gains and losses arise from the difference between the actual long-term rate of return on plan assets for a period and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for that period, or from changes in actuarial assumptions used to determine the accrued benefit obligation. Actuarial gains and losses arising in the year are recognized in full in the period in which they occur, in other comprehensive income and retained earnings without recycling to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss in subsequent periods. Current service cost, the recognized element of any past service cost, interest expense arising on the pension liability and the expected return on plan assets are recognized in the same line items in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as the related compensation cost. The values attributed to plan liabilities are assessed in accordance with the advice of independent qualified actuaries. Service costs arising from plan amendments are recognized immediately. g. Share-based payments The Company’s stock option plan allows its employees (including directors and officers) and non-employees to acquire shares of the Company. Accordingly, the fair value of the option is either charged to operations or capitalized to exploration or development expenditures, depending on the accounting for the optionee’s other compensation, with a corresponding increase in equity reserve. The costs of equity-settled transactions with employees are measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity reserve, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the “vesting date”). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date up to the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding amount is represented in equity reserve. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. h. Income taxes Income tax comprises of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income (loss) or directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in other comprehensive income (loss) or equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable profit. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses to the extent it is probable future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. The Company did not recognize any deferred income taxes relating to its investments in subsidiaries. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company has the legal right and intent to offset. i. Earnings/loss per share Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated by dividing the net earnings/loss for the period attributable to equity owners of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings/loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for dilutive instruments. The number of shares included with respect to options, warrants and similar instruments is computed using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method, which assumes that outstanding stock options and warrants with an average exercise price below the market price of the underlying shares, are exercised and the assumed proceeds are used to repurchase common shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive common shares comprise stock options granted to employees, and warrants. j. Comprehensive income (loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in the Company’s net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than the Company’s shareholders and includes items that would not normally be included in net earnings such as foreign currency gains or losses related to the Company’s net investment in foreign operations and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities net of tax. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss), components of other comprehensive income (loss) and cumulative translation adjustments are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and the consolidated statements of changes in equity. k. Inventories Concentrates, ore stockpile, and spare parts and supplies are valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. Cost for concentrates and ore stockpile includes all direct costs incurred in production including direct labour and materials, freight, depreciation and amortization and directly attributable overhead costs determined on a weighted average basis for the Mexican operations and first in, first out method for the U.S. operations. Cost for spare parts and supplies are determined using the first in, first out method. Net realizable value is calculated as the estimated price at the time of sale based on prevailing and future metal prices less estimated future production costs to convert inventories into saleable form. Any write-downs of inventory to net realizable value are recorded as cost of sales. If there is a subsequent increase in the value of inventories, the previous write-downs to net realizable value are reversed to the extent that the related inventory has not been sold. Ore stockpile represents ore that has been extracted from the mine and is available for further processing. Costs added to ore stockpile are valued based on current mining cost per tonne incurred up to the point of stockpiling the ore and are removed at the average cost per tonne. Ore stockpile is verified by periodic surveys. Materials and supplies inventory are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, where cost is determined using the first-in-first-out method. Any provision for obsolescence is determined by reference to specific items of stock. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of any provision for obsolescence by comparing those items to their net realizable value. If carrying value exceeds net realizable value, a write-down is recognized. Finished goods, in-circuit work in progress, and ore on leach pads are valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. Cost for in-circuit work in progress and ore on leach pads includes all direct costs incurred in production including direct labour and materials, freight, depreciation and amortization and directly attributable overhead costs determined on a first in, first out method. Net realizable value is calculated as the estimated price at the time of sale based on prevailing and future metal prices less estimated future production costs to convert inventories into saleable form. l. Investments An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint arrangement. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. Investments in companies over which the Company exercises neither control nor significant influence and are designated as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Related unrealized gains (losses) are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and are never reclassified to profit or loss. m. Property, plant and equipment (i) Producing mining interests Producing mining interests are carried at cost less accumulated depletion and amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Following the completion of commissioning, the costs related to the mining interests are depleted and charged to operations on the unit of production method as a proportion of estimated recoverable mineral reserves. Completion of the commissioning is deemed to have occurred when major mine and processing plant components are completed, operating results are being achieved consistently for a period of time and that there are indicators that these operational results, including mill capacity and recovery, will be sustainable in the future. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use. (ii) Non-producing mining interests The Company follows the method of accounting for its non-producing mining interests whereby all costs relating to the acquisition and development are deferred and capitalized by property until the property to which they directly relate is placed into production, sold, discontinued or subject to a condition of impairment. Exploration expenses not related to placing the property into production are expensed as incurred. In the event that a mining interest is placed into production, capitalization of costs ceases, the costs are transferred to producing mining interests and the mining interest is depleted on a unit of production basis. The recoverability of amounts is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to finance the development of the properties, and on the future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. (iii) Plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate assets (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within that part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss during the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows: ● Mining interests – unit of production based upon estimated proven and probable reserves. ● Plant and equipment – 3-30 years over straight line basis. ● Corporate office equipment – 3-10 years over straight line basis. Residual values, method of amortization and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate. (iv) Impairment and reversal of impairment The Company reviews and evaluates the carrying values of its property, plant and equipment to determine whether there is an indication of impairment or reversal of impairment. For exploration and evaluation assets, indication includes but is not limited to expiration of the right to explore, substantive expenditure in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned, and if the entity has decided to discontinue exploration activity in the specific area. When the carrying value of assets exceeds the recoverable amount, the carrying value of the assets is reduced to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use of the asset. To achieve this, the recoverable amount is the higher of value in use (being the net present value of expected pre-tax future cash flows of the relevant asset) and fair value less costs to dispose the asset. If, after the Company has previously recognized an impairment loss, circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the impaired assets is greater than the carrying amount, the Company reverses the impairment loss by the amount the revised fair value exceeds its carrying amount, to a maximum of the previous impairment loss. In no case shall the revised carrying amount exceed the original carrying amount, after depreciation or amortization, that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized. (v) Care and maintenance The Company may elect to place its mining operations in care and maintenance if continued operation is no longer economically feasible due to change in circumstances. During care and maintenance, depreciable property, plant and equipment continue to be depreciated over their useful lives. n. Decommissioning provision The Company recognizes contractual, statutory and legal obligations associated with retirement of mining properties when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. Initially, the decommissioning provision is recognized at its fair value in the period in which it is incurred. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the corresponding decommissioning provision is added to the carrying amount of that asset and the cost is amortized as an expense over the economic life of the related asset. Following the initial recognition of the decommissioning provision, the periodic unwinding of the discount is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss and adjusted for changes to the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows to settle the obligation. o. Financial instruments The Company classifies and measures its financial instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss as they arise. Unless restrictive criteria regarding the objective and contractual cash flows of the instrument are met then classification and measurement are at either amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. Cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables are classified and measured as financial assets at amortized cost. Embedded derivatives arising from subsequent adjustments in provisional sales revenue are classified and measured as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other payables are classified and measured as financial liabilities at amortized cost. Loans receivable are classified and measured as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans payable are classified as financial liabilities initially at fair value through profit or loss and subsequently carried at amortized cost. Investment in equity instruments are classified and measured as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Loans from the government are accounted for as a loan payable until forgiveness is reasonably assured and the loan is derecognized through the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. p. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset and amortized over the expected useful life of that asset. Other borrowing costs not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are expensed in the period incurred. q. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. r. Related party transactions Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, and related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related party transactions that are in the normal course of business and have commercial substance are measured at the exchange amount. s. Restricted cash Restricted cash includes cash that has been pledged for reclamation and closure activities which are not available for immediate disbursement.

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates [Abstract]
Significant accounting judgments and estimates	4. Significant accounting judgments and estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to: (i) Reserves and resources Proven and probable reserves are the economically mineable parts of the Company’s measured and indicated mineral resources. The Company estimates its proven and probable reserves and measured and indicated and inferred mineral resources based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons. The information relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore bodies requires complex geological judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of future cash flows related to proven and probable reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of commodity prices, future capital requirements and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size, grade and recovery of the ore bodies. Changes in the proven and probable reserves or measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources estimates may impact the carrying value of mining properties and equipment, depletion and amortization, impairment assessments and the timing of decommissioning provisions. (ii) Depletion and amortization Mining properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method over a period not to exceed the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable reserves. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated, net of residual value over their estimated useful life but do not exceed the related estimated life of the mine based on estimated recoverable mineral reserves. The calculation of the units of production rate, and therefore the annual depletion and amortization expense, could be materially affected by changes in the underlying estimates. Changes in estimates can be the result of actual future production differing from current forecasts of future production and expansion of mineral reserves through exploration activities. (iii) Decommissioning provision The Company assesses its decommissioning provision on an annual basis or when new material information becomes available. Mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. In general, these laws and regulations are continually changing and the Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Accounting for decommissioning provision requires management to make estimates of the time and future costs the Company will incur to complete the rehabilitation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations at each mining operation. Also, future changes to environmental laws and regulations could increase the extent of rehabilitation work required to be performed by the Company. Increases in future costs could materially impact the amounts charged to operations for decommissioning provision. The provision represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future decommissioning provision. The actual future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided. (iv) Share-based payments The amount expensed for share-based compensation is based on the application of a recognized option valuation formula, which is highly dependent on, among other things, the expected volatility of the Company’s registered shares, estimated forfeitures, and the expected life of the options. The Company uses an expected volatility rate for its shares based on past stock trading data, adjusted for future expectations, and actual volatility may be significantly different. The resulting value calculated is not necessarily the value that the holder of the option could receive in an arm’s length transaction, given that there is no market for the options and they are not transferable. It is management’s view that the value derived is highly subjective and dependent entirely upon the input assumptions made. (v) Income taxes Preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires an estimate of income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The process involves an estimate of the Company’s current tax exposure and an assessment of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depletion and amortization, for tax and accounting purposes, and when they might reverse. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities that are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. An assessment is also made to determine the likelihood that the Company’s future tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent that recovery is not considered likely, the related tax benefits are not recognized. Judgment is required to continually assess changing tax interpretations, regulations and legislation, to ensure liabilities are complete and to ensure assets, net of valuation allowances, are realizable. The impact of different interpretations and applications could be material. (vi) Assessment of impairment and reversal of impairment indicators The Company applies judgment in assessing whether indicators of impairment or reversal of impairment exist for a cash generating unit which would require impairment testing. Internal and external sources such as changes in use of an asset, capital and production forecasts, commodity prices, quantities of reserves and resources, and changes in market, economic, and legal environment are used by management in determining whether there are any indicators. The Company determines recoverable amount based on the after-tax discounted cash flows from a cash generating unit’s life-of-mine cash flow projection which incorporates management’s best estimates of commodity prices, future capital requirements and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size, grade and recovery of the ore bodies. Absent a life-of-mine cash flow projection, a market approach of comparable companies is used to determine recoverable amount of in-situ ounces from the cash generating unit. (vii) Commercial production The determination of timing on which a mining property enters into commercial production is a significant judgment since capitalization of development costs ceases upon declaration of commercial production. As a mining property is constructed, development costs incurred are capitalized while pre-production costs and revenues are capitalized and accumulated into such development costs. Commercial production is declared once the mining property is available for its intended use on a commercial scale as defined by management. Revenue recognition, cost of sales, and depletion of the mining property begins when commercial production has been achieved, and are recognized into the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. (viii) Cash flows from ongoing production and impact on operations The Company had negative operating cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2022 with a working capital deficit as at December 31, 2022. The ability to maintain cash flow positive production through meeting production targets at the Cosalá Operations, and through implementing the Galena Recapitalization Plan, including the completion and commissioning of the Galena hoist which is expected to increase hoisting capacity, allowing the Company to generate sufficient operating cash flows, while facing market fluctuations in commodity prices and inflationary pressures, and maintaining access to capital markets, are significant judgments in these consolidated financial statements with respect to the Company’s liquidity. Should the Company experience lower commodity prices and negative operating cash flows in future periods, the Company may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities which funding cannot be assured.

Changes in accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements [Abstract]
Changes in accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements	5. Changes in accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements The following are changes in accounting policies effective as of January 1, 2022: (i) Property, plant and equipment Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before Intended Use - The standard is amended to prohibit deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, the Company recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss. The amendments to IAS 16 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The amendments apply retrospectively only to property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the Company first applies the amendments. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2022 and retrospectively recognized $0.2 million in proceeds and costs related to sales from the Relief Canyon Mine prior to its declaration of commercial production during fiscal 2021 (see Note 19 and 20).

As a result, the Company transferred from non-producing properties $29.3 million and $67.6 million in net book value to inventories and mining interests, respectively. Non-current assets are tested for impairment or impairment reversals when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators were identified during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 caused by market capitalization decline during the period. The Company assessed the recoverability of the $56.7 million carrying amount of the Relief Canyon Mine cash-generating unit and a $13.4 million impairment to the carrying value was identified. The Company allocated $3.5 million of the impairment against mineral interests and $9.9 million to plant and equipment relating to the Relief Canyon Mine as at September 30, 2022. The $43.3 million recoverable amount of the Relief Canyon Mine’s net assets was determined based on a market approach of trading multiples of comparable companies. Publicly traded companies with gold mining assets of similar development and production stages to the Relief Canyon Mine were identified and assessed for total enterprise value and contained gold equivalent ounces to derive at an implied valuation multiple. The derived implied valuation multiples of production stage companies ranging from $64 per contained gold equivalent ounce to $77 per contained gold equivalent ounce were compared to that of the Relief Canyon Mine in assessing the recoverability of its carrying amount. Fair value models are considered to be Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions used in Relief Canyon Mine’s fair value model as at September 30, 2022 include estimation of total enterprise value and contained gold equivalent ounces of publicly traded companies based on observable market data. Total enterprise value was derived from market capitalization adjusted for a control premium while excluding cash and cash equivalents and book value of other non-mining assets and discounting for production delays. An increase and decrease in market capitalization of 1% would impact the recoverable amount by estimates of approximately $0.4 million increase and $0.4 million decrease, respectively. This impairment was assessed on the extrapolation of data from market capitalization decline during the period. If a subsequent impairment test indicated further changes in market capitalization, it could result in a material recovery or impairment to the carrying amount. Impairment indicators were identified during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 from gold production of the Relief Canyon Mine due to differences observed between the modelled (planned) and mined (actual) ore tonnage and carbonaceous material identified in the early phases of the mine plan. The Company assessed the recoverability of the $121.8 million carrying amount of the cash-generating unit and a $55.6 million impairment to the carrying value of the Relief Canyon Mine was identified. The Company allocated $41.2 million of the impairment against mineral interests, $10.7 million to plant and equipment, and $3.7 million to right-of-use lease assets relating to the Relief Canyon Mine as at March 31, 2021. The $66.2 million recoverable amount of the Relief Canyon Mine’s net assets was determined based on the after-tax discounted cash flows expected to be derived from this property’s fair-market value less estimated costs of disposal. The after-tax discounted cash flows were determined based on an updated life-of-mine cash flow projection which incorporated management’s best estimates of commodity prices, future capital requirements and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size, grade and recovery of the ore bodies. Fair value models are considered to be Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions used in Relief Canyon Mine’s fair value model as at March 31, 2021 include estimation of production profile and reserves from its life-of-mine plan, operating and capital costs to extract the reserves, discount rate of 6-8% based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, gold price from $1,860 per ounce in 2021 down to $1,608 per ounce in 2025 and beyond based on observable market data including spot price and industry analyst consensus, and mine life of 5 years. An increase and decrease in discount rate of 1% would impact the recoverable amount by estimates of approximately $2.3 million decrease and $2.4 million increase, respectively, an increase and decrease in gold recovery rate of 1% would impact the recoverable amount by estimates of approximately $4.7 million increase and $4.7 million decrease, respectively, and an increase and decrease in long-term gold price of $100 per ounce would impact the recoverable amount by estimates of approximately $16.6 million increase and $17.3 million decrease, respectively. This impairment was assessed on the extrapolation of data from the initial phases of mining onto the remaining mining phases with additional leaching test work ongoing. If a subsequent impairment test indicated further changes in the expected cash flows, gold production, and commodity prices, it could result in a material recovery or impairment to the carrying amount. The carrying amounts of mineral interests, plant and equipment, and right-of-use lease assets from the Relief Canyon Mine is approximately $22.5 million, $12.4 million, and $3.0 million, respectively, as at December 31, 2022 (2021: $26.8 million, $27.4 million, and $4.1 million, respectively). The Company recognized an impairment loss of $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 related to damaged equipment from the Cosalá Operations. No other impairment or impairment reversal were identified for each of the Company's cash-generating unit, including non-producing properties and properties placed under care and maintenance as at December 31, 2022. On March 2, 2017, the Company entered into an option acquisition agreement with Impulsora Minera Santacruz S.A. de C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd., to acquire an existing option with Minera Hochschild Mexico S.A. de C.V. (“Hochschild”) for the right to acquire a 100% interest of the San Felipe property located in Sonora, Mexico. On October 8, 2020, the Company settled its remaining contractual option payments with Hochschild to acquire the 100% interest of the San Felipe property. As at December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the San Felipe property was $12.5 million included in non-producing properties. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized as property, plant and equipment was nil

Precious Metals Delivery and Purchase Agreement [Abstract]
Precious metals delivery and purchase agreement	9. Precious metals delivery and purchase agreement On April 3, 2019, the Company entered into a $25 million precious metals delivery and purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) for the construction and development of the Relief Canyon Mine. The Purchase Agreement consists of a combination of fixed and variable deliveries from the Relief Canyon Mine. The Purchase Agreement has a repurchase option for the Company exercisable at any time to reduce the variable deliveries to Sandstorm from 4% to 2% by delivering 4,000 ounces of gold plus additional ounces of gold compounded annually at 10%. On initial recognition and as at December 31, 2022, the fair value of the repurchase option was nil. The Company recorded the advances received on precious metals delivery, net of transaction costs, as deferred revenue and would recognize the amounts in revenue as performance obligations to metals delivery are satisfied over the term of the metals delivery and purchase agreements. The advances received on precious metals delivery is expected to reduce to nil through deliveries of the Company’s own production to Sandstorm. As at December 31, 2021, the Company derecognized the outstanding carrying value of deferred revenue, net of transaction costs, and recognized the fixed and variable deliveries of precious metals as a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss as the Company expects that metal deliveries to Sandstorm may no longer be satisfied through internal gold production alone. The fair value of the metals contract liability was determined using forward commodity pricing curves at the end of the fiscal 2021 reporting period resulting in $20.8 million loss to fair value on metals contract liability. A $0.7 million loss to fair value on metals contract liability due to changes in forward commodity pricing curves was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022. The following are components of deferred revenue and metals contract liability: Advances received, April 3, 2019 $ 25,000 Recognition of revenue (6,777 ) Deferred revenue 18,223 Deferred transaction costs (332 ) Accretion on significant financing component 1,902 Net deferred revenue 19,793 Interest and financing expense 332 Loss on metals contract liability 20,780 Net metals contract liability, December 31, 2021 40,905 Delivery of metals produced (3,278 ) Delivery of metals purchased (7,436 ) Revaluation of metals contract liability 798 Net metals contract liability, December 31, 2022 $ 30,989 Current portion $ 11,324 Non-current portion 19,665 $ 30,989

Roycap Convertible Debenture Disclosure [Abstract]
RoyCap convertible debenture	10. RoyCap convertible debenture On April 28, 2021, the Company issued a $12.5 million CAD convertible debenture (the “RoyCap Convertible Debenture”) to Royal Capital Management Corp. (“RoyCap”) due April 28, 2024 with interest payable at 8% per annum secured by the Company’s interest in the Galena Complex and by shares of one of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries. The RoyCap Convertible Debenture is redeemable at the Company’s option to prepay the principal amount subject to payment of a redemption premium of 30% during the first year, 20% during the second year, and 10% during the third year prior to maturity (the “Redemption Option”), is retractable at RoyCap’s option at a cumulative $0.3 million CAD per month starting in the second month from inception where the Company may settle the retraction amount through either cash or issuance of the Company’s common shares determined by dividing 95% of the 20 day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares (the “Retraction Option”), and convertible at RoyCap’s option into the Company’s common shares at a conversion price of $3.35 CAD (the “Conversion Option”). On inception, the RoyCap Convertible Debenture, which may be settled through a fixed amount of the Company’s own equity instruments, was treated as a compound financial instrument with the principal portion classified as a liability component and the Conversion Option as an equity component. The initial fair value of the principal portion was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument at the issue date. The principal portion is subsequently recognized on an amortized cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity. The remainder of the proceeds were allocated to the Conversion Option as equity. A net derivative liability of $1.4 million was recorded on initial recognition based on the estimated fair value of the combined Redemption Option and Retraction Option. On November 12, 2021, the Company amended the RoyCap Convertible Debenture by increasing the principal balance by $6.3 million CAD to a total outstanding principal of $18.8 million CAD, in addition to amending its conversion price of $3.35 CAD to $1.48 CAD, and the terms to its Retraction Option retractable at a cumulative $0.3 million CAD per month to a cumulative $0.45 million CAD per month. All other material terms of the RoyCap Convertible Debenture remain unchanged. The Company derecognized the associated carrying values of the RoyCap Convertible Debenture prior to amendment and recognized an amended compound financial instrument with the amended principal portion classified as a liability component and the amended Conversion Option as an equity component. The fair value of the amended principal portion was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument at the date of the amendment. A net derivative liability of $2.1 million was recorded on amendment date based on the estimated fair value of the combined Redemption Option and Retraction Option. On October 20, 2022, the Company amended the RoyCap Convertible Debenture by increasing the principal balance by $7.0 million CAD to a total outstanding principal of $25.8 million CAD, in addition to amending its interest rate of 8% per annum to 9.5% per annum, its conversion price of $1.48 CAD to $1.00 CAD, and the terms to its Retraction Option retractable at a cumulative $0.45 million CAD per month to a cumulative $0.5 million CAD per month with a beginning cumulated retraction balance of $1.5 million CAD. All other material terms of the RoyCap Convertible Debenture remain unchanged. The Company derecognized the associated carrying values of the RoyCap Convertible Debenture prior to amendment and recognized an amended compound financial instrument with the amended principal portion classified as a liability component and the amended Conversion Option as an equity component. The fair value of the amended principal portion was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument at the date of the amendment. A net derivative liability of $1.3 million was recorded on amendment date based on the estimated fair value of the combined Redemption Option and Retraction Option. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the principal amount of the RoyCap Convertible Debenture was reduced by $7.2 million CAD through partial exercises of the Retraction Option by RoyCap settled through issuance of 11,240,839 of the Company’s common shares (2021: $0.9 million CAD settled through issuance of 798,579 common shares). The Company recognized a gain of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31 2022 (2021: loss of $0.2 million) as a result of the change in the estimated fair value of the combined Redemption Option and Retraction Option.

Decommissioning Provision [Abstract]
Decommissioning provision	15. Decommissioning provision The decommissioning provision consists of land rehabilitation, demolition of buildings and mine facilities, and related costs. Although the ultimate amount of the decommissioning provision is uncertain, the fair value of these obligations is based on information currently available, including closure plans and the Company’s interpretation of current regulatory requirements. Fair value is determined based on the net present value of future cash expenditures upon reclamation and closure. Reclamation and closure costs are capitalized into property, plant and equipment depending on the nature of the asset related to the obligation and amortized over the life of the related asset. The decommissioning provision relates to reclamation and closure costs of the Company’s Cosalá Operations, Galena Complex, and Relief Canyon Mine. The decommissioning provision is estimated at an undiscounted amount of $19.9 million over a period of 5 to 15 years, and discounted using a risk-free rate varying from 2.3% to 10.0% (2021: estimated at an undiscounted amount of $17.4 million over a period of 4 to 16 years, and discounted using a risk-free rate varying from 1.3% to 7.6%).

Financial risk management [abstract]
Financial risk management	24. Financial risk management a. Financial risk factors The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on its financial instruments are summarized below: (i) Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the Company invests its cash in deposits with well-capitalized financial institutions with strong credit ratings in Canada and the United States. Under current concentrate offtake agreements, risk on trade receivables related to concentrate sales is managed by receiving payments for 85% to 100% of the estimated value of the concentrate within one month following the time of shipment. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s exposure to credit risk with respect to trade receivables amounts to $5.6 million (2021: $4.7 million). The Company believes credit risk is not significant and there was no significant change to the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses as at December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. (ii) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company’s liquidity requirements are met through a variety of sources, including cash, cash generated from operations, credit facilities and debt and equity capital markets. The Company’s trade payables have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The following table presents the contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities and provisions on an undiscounted basis: December 31, 2022 Less than Over Total 1 year 2-3 years 4-5 years 5 years Trade and other payables $ 27,060 $ 27,060 $ - $ - $ - Promissory note 2,500 2,500 - - - Interest on promissory note 35 35 - - - RoyCap convertible debenture 13,069 - 13,069 - - Interest on RoyCap convertible debenture 1,652 1,241 411 - - Government loan 222 222 - - - Metals contract liability 30,989 11,324 19,665 - - Projected pension contributions 5,316 840 1,695 1,819 962 Decommissioning provision 19,915 - - - 19,915 Other long-term liabilities 1,815 - 737 517 561 $ 102,573 $ 43,222 $ 35,577 $ 2,336 $ 21,438 Minimum lease payments in respect to lease liabilities are included in trade and other payables and other long-term liabilities as follows: December 31, 2022 Less than Over Total 1 year 2-3 years 4-5 years 5 years Trade and other payables $ 1,862 $ 1,862 $ - $ - $ - Other long-term liabilities 1,280 - 737 517 26 $ 3,142 $ 1,862 $ 737 $ 517 $ 26 The following table summarizes the continuity of the Company’s total lease liabilities discounted using an incremental borrowing rate ranging from 5% to 16% applied during the year: December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Lease liabilities, beginning of year $ 4,774 $ 6,377 Additions 720 1,123 Lease principal payments (2,352 ) (2,720 ) Lease interest payments (1,040 ) (507 ) Accretion on lease liabilities 1,040 501 Lease liabilities, end of year $ 3,142 $ 4,774 (iii) Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk. (1) Interest rate risk The Company is subject to interest rate risk of the 3 months U.S. LIBOR rate plus 7% per annum from the Cosalá Operations’ advance payments of concentrate and the 1 month U.S. SOFR rate plus 4% per annum from the Galena Complex's advance payments of concentrate. Interest rates of other financial instruments are fixed. (2) Currency risk As at December 31, 2022, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through financial assets and liabilities denominated in CAD and Mexican pesos (“MXN”): Financial instruments that may impact the Company’s net loss or other comprehensive loss due to currency fluctuations include CAD and MXN denominated assets and liabilities which are included in the following table: As at December 31, 2022 CAD MXN Cash and cash equivalents $ 87 $ 174 Trade and other receivables 38 592 Trade and other payables 2,691 12,089 As at December 31, 2022, the CAD/USD and MXN/USD exchange rates were 1.35 and 19.36, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not settle any non-hedge foreign exchange forward contracts. Price risk Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments in the market. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had certain amounts related to the sales of concentrates that have only been provisionally priced. A ±10% fluctuation in silver, zinc, lead, and gold prices would affect trade receivables by approximately $0.6 million (2021: $0.5 million). As at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company does not have any non-hedge commodity forward contracts outstanding. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not settle any non-hedge commodity forward contracts. Net amount of gain or loss on derivative instruments from non-hedge foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts recognized through profit or loss during the year ended December 31, 2022 was nil nil b. Fair values The fair value of cash, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, and other financial assets and liabilities listed below approximate their carrying amounts mainly due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are as follows: ● Cash and cash equivalents: The fair value of cash equivalents is valued using quoted market prices in active markets. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market accounts held at financial institutions which have original maturities of less than 90 days. ● Trade and other receivables: The fair value of trade receivables from silver sales contracts that contain provisional pricing terms is determined using the appropriate quoted forward price from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular metal. As such, there is an embedded derivative feature within trade receivables. ● Metals contract liability: Fixed and variable deliveries of precious metals are classified and measured as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss determined using forward commodity pricing curves at end of the reporting period. ● Convertible debentures and promissory note: The principal portion of the convertible debentures and promissory note are initially measured at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost. ● Embedded derivatives: Revenues from the sale of metals produced from silver sales contracts since the commencement of commercial production are based on provisional prices at the time of shipment. Variations between the price recorded at the time of sale and the actual final price received from the customer are caused by changes in market prices for metals sold and result in an embedded derivative in revenues and accounts receivable. ● Derivatives: The Company uses derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage financial risks, including commodity, interest rate, and foreign exchange risks. The use of derivative contracts is governed by documented risk management policies and approved limits. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and at market prices at the valuation date. 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).

Disclosure of Objectives Policies and Processes for Managing Capital [Abstract]
Capital management	26. Capital management Capital is defined as equity. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maximize the value for its shareholders. The Company’s activities have been funded so far through debt and equity financing based on cash needs, and through operations. The Company typically sells its shares by way of private placement. There were no changes in these objectives, policies and processes used to manage capital during the year. The Company manages its capital structure and determines its capital requirements in light of the changing economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its assets. To reach its objectives the Company may have to maintain or adjust its capital structure by issuing new share capital or new debt. At this stage of its development, it is the policy of the Company to preserve cash to fund its operations and complete its capital projects and not to pay dividends. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. The following summarizes the Company’s capital structure: December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Equity attributable to shareholders of the Company $ 81,227 $ 93,070

Contingencies [Abstract]
Contingencies	27. Contingencies Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In November 2010, the Company received a reassessment from the Mexican tax authorities related to its Mexican subsidiary, Minera Cosalá, for the year ended December 31, 2007. The tax authorities disallowed the deduction of transactions with certain suppliers for an amount of approximately $10.2 million (MXN 196.8 million), of which $4.4 million (MXN 84.4 million) would be applied against available tax losses. The Company appealed this reassessment and the Mexican tax authorities subsequently reversed $4.9 million (MXN 94.6 million) of their original reassessment. The remaining $5.3 million (MXN 102.2 million) consists of $4.4 million (MXN 84.4 million) related to transactions with certain suppliers and $0.9 million (MXN 17.8 million) of value added taxes thereon. The Company appealed the remaining reassessment with the Mexican Tax Court in December 2011. The Company may be required to post a bond of approximately $0.9 million (MXN 17.8 million) to secure the value added tax portion of the reassessment. The deductions of $4.4 million (MXN 84.4 million), if denied, would be offset by available tax losses. The Company accrued $1.0 million (MXN 19.9 million) in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2018 as a probable obligation for the disallowance of value added taxes related to the Mexican tax reassessment. As at December 31, 2022, the accrued liability of the probable obligation was $1.0 million (2021: $1.0 million).

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent events	28. Subsequent events On December 12, 2022, the Company amended its existing offtake agreement with Ocean Partners USA, Inc. (“Ocean”) of lead concentrates produced from the Galena Complex for a pre-payment facility of $3.0 million to fund general working capital at the Galena Complex (“Ocean Facility”). The Ocean Facility was drawn in full in February 2023 with an initial term of three years at an interest of U.S. SOFR rate plus 6.95% per annum. Principal on the Ocean Facility is repaid through monthly installments deductible from concentrate deliveries or paid in cash and can be redrawn on a revolving basis. On February 26, 2023, the Company amended its Purchase Agreement with Sandstorm for the right to increase its advance payment up to $11.0 million or $2.75 million per calendar quarter during fiscal 2023. The advance is repaid through fixed deliveries of gold commencing within the 12-month period from November 2025 to October 2026. The first calendar quarter advance of $2.75 million was drawn in full early March 2023.

Accounting Policies, by Policy

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation	a. Consolidation These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries, including special purpose entities). Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Where the Company’s interest in a subsidiary is less than 100%, the Company recognizes non-controlling interests. All intercompany transactions and balances, income and expenses have been eliminated. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company elects on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis whether to measure non-controlling interest at its fair value, or at its proportionate share of the recognized amount of identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Special Purpose Entities (“SPE’s”) as defined by the IASB in SIC 12 Consolidation–Special Purpose Entities
Segment reporting	b. Segment reporting An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. Determination of operating segments are based on the reports reviewed by the chief operating decision makers that are used to make strategic decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and performance assessment, and for which discrete financial information is available. Unallocated items not directly attributable to a segment comprise mainly of corporate assets and head office expenses.
Presentation currency and functional currency	c. Presentation currency and functional currency The Company’s presentation currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), and the functional currency of its U.S. and Mexican subsidiaries and SPE’s is the USD. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated into the presentation currency. Assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate at period end, and income, expenses and cash flow items are translated using the rate that approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions (the average rate for the period). All resulting exchange differences are recorded in the foreign currency translation reserve.
Foreign currency translations	d. Foreign currency translations Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the entities’ functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated at the rate in effect at the statement of financial position date, and non-monetary items at historic exchange rates at each transaction date. Revenue and expense items are translated at average exchange rates of the reporting period. Gains and losses on translation are charged to the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Revenue recognition	e. Revenue recognition The Company applies the following five-step approach in recognizing revenue from contracts with customers: ● Identify the enforceable contract with the customer. ● Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract from transferring the distinct good or service. ● Determine the transaction price for consideration of transferring the good or service. ● Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations identified. ● Recognize revenue when each separate performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue through entering into concentrate sales contracts with customers with the performance obligation of delivering its concentrate production in exchange for consideration valued initially under provisional pricing arrangements. Revenue from sales is recorded at the time of delivery based on forward prices for the expected date of final settlement. The final sale prices are determined by quoted market prices in a period subsequent to the date of sale. Subsequent variations in metal prices are recognized as embedded derivative pricing adjustments at fair value from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes deferred revenue from advanced consideration received for fixed and variable precious metals deliveries over a specified period. Deferred revenue is recognized into revenue as performance obligations to metals delivery are satisfied over the term of the delivery contract.
Defined benefit plans	f. Defined benefit plans The cost of defined benefit plans is determined using the projected unit credit method. The related pension liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. Actuarial valuations for defined benefit plans are carried out annually. The discount rate applied in arriving at the present value of the pension liability represents the yield on high quality corporate bonds denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability. Actuarial gains and losses arise from the difference between the actual long-term rate of return on plan assets for a period and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for that period, or from changes in actuarial assumptions used to determine the accrued benefit obligation. Actuarial gains and losses arising in the year are recognized in full in the period in which they occur, in other comprehensive income and retained earnings without recycling to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss in subsequent periods. Current service cost, the recognized element of any past service cost, interest expense arising on the pension liability and the expected return on plan assets are recognized in the same line items in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as the related compensation cost. The values attributed to plan liabilities are assessed in accordance with the advice of independent qualified actuaries. Service costs arising from plan amendments are recognized immediately.
Share-based payments	g. Share-based payments The Company’s stock option plan allows its employees (including directors and officers) and non-employees to acquire shares of the Company. Accordingly, the fair value of the option is either charged to operations or capitalized to exploration or development expenditures, depending on the accounting for the optionee’s other compensation, with a corresponding increase in equity reserve. The costs of equity-settled transactions with employees are measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity reserve, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the “vesting date”). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date up to the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding amount is represented in equity reserve. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.
Income taxes	h. Income taxes Income tax comprises of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income (loss) or directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in other comprehensive income (loss) or equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable profit. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses to the extent it is probable future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. The Company did not recognize any deferred income taxes relating to its investments in subsidiaries. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company has the legal right and intent to offset.
Earnings/loss per share	i. Earnings/loss per share Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated by dividing the net earnings/loss for the period attributable to equity owners of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings/loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for dilutive instruments. The number of shares included with respect to options, warrants and similar instruments is computed using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method, which assumes that outstanding stock options and warrants with an average exercise price below the market price of the underlying shares, are exercised and the assumed proceeds are used to repurchase common shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive common shares comprise stock options granted to employees, and warrants.
Comprehensive income (loss)	j. Comprehensive income (loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in the Company’s net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than the Company’s shareholders and includes items that would not normally be included in net earnings such as foreign currency gains or losses related to the Company’s net investment in foreign operations and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities net of tax. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss), components of other comprehensive income (loss) and cumulative translation adjustments are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and the consolidated statements of changes in equity.
Inventories	k. Inventories Concentrates, ore stockpile, and spare parts and supplies are valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. Cost for concentrates and ore stockpile includes all direct costs incurred in production including direct labour and materials, freight, depreciation and amortization and directly attributable overhead costs determined on a weighted average basis for the Mexican operations and first in, first out method for the U.S. operations. Cost for spare parts and supplies are determined using the first in, first out method. Net realizable value is calculated as the estimated price at the time of sale based on prevailing and future metal prices less estimated future production costs to convert inventories into saleable form. Any write-downs of inventory to net realizable value are recorded as cost of sales. If there is a subsequent increase in the value of inventories, the previous write-downs to net realizable value are reversed to the extent that the related inventory has not been sold. Ore stockpile represents ore that has been extracted from the mine and is available for further processing. Costs added to ore stockpile are valued based on current mining cost per tonne incurred up to the point of stockpiling the ore and are removed at the average cost per tonne. Ore stockpile is verified by periodic surveys. Materials and supplies inventory are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, where cost is determined using the first-in-first-out method. Any provision for obsolescence is determined by reference to specific items of stock. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of any provision for obsolescence by comparing those items to their net realizable value. If carrying value exceeds net realizable value, a write-down is recognized. Finished goods, in-circuit work in progress, and ore on leach pads are valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. Cost for in-circuit work in progress and ore on leach pads includes all direct costs incurred in production including direct labour and materials, freight, depreciation and amortization and directly attributable overhead costs determined on a first in, first out method. Net realizable value is calculated as the estimated price at the time of sale based on prevailing and future metal prices less estimated future production costs to convert inventories into saleable form.
Investments	l. Investments An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint arrangement. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. Investments in companies over which the Company exercises neither control nor significant influence and are designated as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Related unrealized gains (losses) are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment	m. Property, plant and equipment (i) Producing mining interests Producing mining interests are carried at cost less accumulated depletion and amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Following the completion of commissioning, the costs related to the mining interests are depleted and charged to operations on the unit of production method as a proportion of estimated recoverable mineral reserves. Completion of the commissioning is deemed to have occurred when major mine and processing plant components are completed, operating results are being achieved consistently for a period of time and that there are indicators that these operational results, including mill capacity and recovery, will be sustainable in the future. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use. (ii) Non-producing mining interests The Company follows the method of accounting for its non-producing mining interests whereby all costs relating to the acquisition and development are deferred and capitalized by property until the property to which they directly relate is placed into production, sold, discontinued or subject to a condition of impairment. Exploration expenses not related to placing the property into production are expensed as incurred. In the event that a mining interest is placed into production, capitalization of costs ceases, the costs are transferred to producing mining interests and the mining interest is depleted on a unit of production basis. The recoverability of amounts is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to finance the development of the properties, and on the future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. (iii) Plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate assets (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within that part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss during the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows: ● Mining interests – unit of production based upon estimated proven and probable reserves. ● Plant and equipment – 3-30 years over straight line basis. ● Corporate office equipment – 3-10 years over straight line basis. Residual values, method of amortization and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate. (iv) Impairment and reversal of impairment The Company reviews and evaluates the carrying values of its property, plant and equipment to determine whether there is an indication of impairment or reversal of impairment. For exploration and evaluation assets, indication includes but is not limited to expiration of the right to explore, substantive expenditure in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned, and if the entity has decided to discontinue exploration activity in the specific area. When the carrying value of assets exceeds the recoverable amount, the carrying value of the assets is reduced to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use of the asset. To achieve this, the recoverable amount is the higher of value in use (being the net present value of expected pre-tax future cash flows of the relevant asset) and fair value less costs to dispose the asset. If, after the Company has previously recognized an impairment loss, circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the impaired assets is greater than the carrying amount, the Company reverses the impairment loss by the amount the revised fair value exceeds its carrying amount, to a maximum of the previous impairment loss. In no case shall the revised carrying amount exceed the original carrying amount, after depreciation or amortization, that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized. (v) Care and maintenance The Company may elect to place its mining operations in care and maintenance if continued operation is no longer economically feasible due to change in circumstances. During care and maintenance, depreciable property, plant and equipment continue to be depreciated over their useful lives.
Decommissioning provision	n. Decommissioning provision The Company recognizes contractual, statutory and legal obligations associated with retirement of mining properties when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. Initially, the decommissioning provision is recognized at its fair value in the period in which it is incurred. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the corresponding decommissioning provision is added to the carrying amount of that asset and the cost is amortized as an expense over the economic life of the related asset. Following the initial recognition of the decommissioning provision, the periodic unwinding of the discount is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss and adjusted for changes to the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows to settle the obligation.
Financial instruments	o. Financial instruments The Company classifies and measures its financial instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss as they arise. Unless restrictive criteria regarding the objective and contractual cash flows of the instrument are met then classification and measurement are at either amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. Cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables are classified and measured as financial assets at amortized cost. Embedded derivatives arising from subsequent adjustments in provisional sales revenue are classified and measured as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss. Trade and other payables are classified and measured as financial liabilities at amortized cost. Loans receivable are classified and measured as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans payable are classified as financial liabilities initially at fair value through profit or loss and subsequently carried at amortized cost. Investment in equity instruments are classified and measured as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Loans from the government are accounted for as a loan payable until forgiveness is reasonably assured and the loan is derecognized through the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
Borrowing costs	p. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset and amortized over the expected useful life of that asset. Other borrowing costs not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are expensed in the period incurred.
Provisions	q. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Related party transactions	r. Related party transactions Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, and related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related party transactions that are in the normal course of business and have commercial substance are measured at the exchange amount.
Restricted cash	s. Restricted cash Restricted cash includes cash that has been pledged for reclamation and closure activities which are not available for immediate disbursement.

Description of discount rate				Key assumptions used in Relief Canyon Mine’s fair value model as at March 31, 2021 include estimation of production profile and reserves from its life-of-mine plan, operating and capital costs to extract the reserves, discount rate of 6-8% based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, gold price from $1,860 per ounce in 2021 down to $1,608 per ounce in 2025 and beyond based on observable market data including spot price and industry analyst consensus, and mine life of 5 years. An increase and decrease in discount rate of 1% would impact the recoverable amount by estimates of approximately $2.3 million decrease and $2.4 million increase, respectively, an increase and decrease in gold recovery rate of 1% would impact the recoverable amount by estimates of approximately $4.7 million increase and $4.7 million decrease, respectively, and an increase and decrease in long-term gold price of $100 per ounce would impact the recoverable amount by estimates of approximately $16.6 million increase and $17.3 million decrease, respectively.
