2. COVID-19 UNCERTAINTIES AND LIQUIDITY RISK
COVID-19 Uncertainties
The Company is managing the necessary country-by-country restrictions related to the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 in order to assist in the protection of those most vulnerable. In 2021, the Company has experienced an increase in COVID-19 cases in Argentina and Peru which has affected operations at the Lindero Mine and the Caylloma Mine and has resulted in a reduced workforce and quarantine periods for those affected. Each of the Company’s mine sites is, at the date of these interim financial statements, operating with a reduced workforce. Worker availability continues to be a challenge but is currently being mitigated by increasing the use of temporary workers and contractors. Health protocols are in place at each mine site for control, isolation and quarantine, as necessary, and these continue to be reviewed and adjusted accordingly based on the circumstances at each location. The Company’s focus is the health and safety of the workforce and on measures to prevent and manage the transmission of COVID-19 amongst the workforce and the communities in which the Company operates.
The Company’s operations and financial performance are dependent on it being able to operate at each of its mines and projects. Given the fast-changing situation with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, including further waves of the virus and the emergence of variant forms of the virus, it is difficult to predict the exact nature and extent of the impact the pandemic may have on the Company’s operations and its business. Until the number of cases and death rate starts to flatten and decline, there is no certainty that the governments of countries in which the Company operates will not mandate another round of extreme measures, including the suspension of business activities, which could include mining. Outbreaks of COVID-19 in areas where the Company operates or further restrictive directives of government and public health authorities could cause delays or disruptions in the Company’s supply chain, restrict access to its mine sites, restrict its ability to transport and ship gold doré and/or metal concentrates, restrict access to processing and refinery facilities, or impediments to market logistics. Further suspensions of operations or curtailment of commissioning activities at the Company’s mines remains a significant risk to its business and operations.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages liquidity risk by the preparation of internally generated cash flow forecasts. These short-term cash flow forecasts consider the estimation of future operating costs, financing costs, development capital and cash receipts from sales revenue. Sensitivity analyses are also performed, including the impact of volatility in estimated commodity prices.
The Company had $135.8 million of liquidity comprised of cash and cash equivalents as at September 30, 2021, and believes that its cash and cash equivalents will provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company’s minimum obligations for at least the next 12 months from September 30, 2021. On November 4, 2021, the Company entered into a fourth amended and restated credit agreement, effective as of November 5, 2021, which converts the Company’s existing non-revolving and revolving facility into a revolving term credit facility in the amount of $200.0 million, with a term of four years and a step down to $150.0 million after three years. On closing of the amended credit facility, $120.0 million was available for drawdown and was drawn down in full. If a new environmental impact authorization for the San Jose mine (“San Jose EIA”) has not been approved or the existing San Jose EIA has not been extended by January 23, 2022, the availability of the amended credit facility will be reduced to $100.0 million. The total amended credit facility of up to $200.0 million will only become available upon receipt of the new San Jose EIA approval or San Jose EIA extension. Under the terms of the amended credit facility, the Company must obtain by November 20, 2021 a permanent injunction or equivalent protection, in form and substance acceptable to the lenders acting reasonably, which allows the Company to continue to operate the mine.
On November 10, 2021, written notification was received from Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (“SEMARNAT”) that confirmed the application for an extension to the San Jose EIA had been denied. SEMARNAT denied the application for the extension citing a pending evaluation by SEMARNAT related to the regularization of ancillary infrastructure at the mine site. In addition, it cited non receipt of requested information, which the Company has already provided to the authority. The Company is reviewing the reasons for the denial with its advisors, but believes that it is fundamentally in compliance with all material aspects of the San Jose EIA and is entitled to an extension.
The San Jose mine is currently operating under the protection of the Mexican courts which allows the continued operation of the San Jose mine beyond the expiry date of the San Jose EIA. The Company has the right and intends to appeal the decision of SEMARNAT and will continue to pursue all legal protection available to it in order to continue to operate pending the appeal of the decision of SEMARNAT.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which includes information necessary for understanding the Company’s business and financial presentation.
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements, except as described below.
In 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4, and IFRS 16) (“Phase 2 amendments”) to address the financial reporting impacts of replacing one benchmark interest rate with an alternative rate and became effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of these amounts did not have a significant effect on the Company’s interim financial statements.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
On November 10, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved these interim financial statements for issuance.
Accounting policies adopted in conjunction with the acquisition of Roxgold
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the acquisition-date fair value. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference, or gain, is recognized directly in the consolidated statement of operations. The results of businesses acquired during the period are included in the interim financial statements from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs, are expensed as incurred. Provisional fair values are finalized within 12 months of the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

| b) | Non-Controlling interests |
Non-controlling interest represents equity interests in subsidiaries owned by outside parties. Non-controlling interests are recorded at their proportionate share of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired on initial recognition. The share of net assets of subsidiaries attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as a component of equity. Their share of net income and other comprehensive income is recognized directly in equity even if the results of the non-controlling interest have a deficit balance.
The Company recognises transactions with non-controlling interest as transactions with equity shareholders. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
| c) | Consolidation, functional and presentation currency |
These interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“$” or “US$” or “US dollars”), which is the functional currency of the Company. Reference to C$ are to Canadian dollars. All amounts in these interim financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand US dollars, unless otherwise stated.
The functional currency for each entity consolidated within the Company's financial statements is determined by the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. The functional currency of subsidiaries acquired in the period are identified in the table below:

Basis of Measurement
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value (Note 27) at the end of each reporting period.
| 4. | USE OF ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS |
The preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the period end date and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Such judgements and estimates are, by their nature, uncertain. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
The impact of such judgements and estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. These judgements and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and are accounted for prospectively.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
(Unaudited – tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
In preparing these interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company applied the same critical estimates and judgements as disclosed in note 4 of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as described below.
Fair Value Estimates in the Acquisition of Roxgold (Note 5)
Accounting for acquisitions requires estimates with respect to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The determination of fair value requires management to use valuation methods including discounted cash flow models, comparable transactions and other market-based information, and to make assumptions and estimates about future events, such as production, future metal prices, production costs, capital expenditures, discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these assumptions or estimates could affect the fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. These provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. The measurement period ends as soon as the Company receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable and shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
| 5. | ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY |
On July 2, 2021 (the “Closing Date"), the Company completed the acquisition of Roxgold (the "Transaction") and its underground producing Yaramoko mine in Burkina Faso, the Séguéla development project in Côte d’Ivoire, and the Boussoura exploration property in Burkina Faso. The Transaction was completed by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) pursuant to the Arrangement agreement between Fortuna and Roxgold dated effective April 26, 2021. Under the terms of the Transaction, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares ("Roxgold Shares") of Roxgold in exchange for 0.283 of a common share of Fortuna and C$0.001 in cash for each Roxgold Share. Upon completion of the transaction, Roxgold became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortuna.
On the closing of the Transaction, the Company issued 106,106,224 common shares and paid $0.3 million in cash in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding Roxgold Shares. In addition, the Company made the following cash payments:
| • | $29.3 million in change of control payouts to non-continuing executives and directors relating to severance and vested RSUs, PSUs, and DSUs, of which $23.7 million has been determined to form part of the consideration; and |
| • | $4.6 million to continuing employees and executives related to the 2021 grants of RSUs, PSUs, and DSUs, which were not assumed by Fortuna (see discussion following), $1.3 million of which has been determined to form part of the consideration and $3.3 million was expensed as Roxgold transaction costs. |
Under the terms of the Arrangement, all Roxgold stock options, RSUs and PSUs issued in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to continuing employees and executives outstanding as at the effective time of the Arrangement were assumed by the Company having the same terms and conditions as the original respective Roxgold long-term incentive plans (including with respect to vesting and settlement), except that on settlement thereof the holder will receive 0.283 of a Fortuna common share or the cash equivalent at the time of settlement. Following the acquisition of Roxgold, the Company assumed 405,240 options, 1,023,696 PSUs and 1,419,649 RSUs.

The Company advanced a promissory note of $35.3 million to Roxgold on June 29, 2021 in advance of closing of the Transaction, to cover expected cash consideration, transaction costs, and liabilities in relation to the Transaction. The promissory note was effectively settled upon closing of the Transaction.
The Company has determined that the Transaction represents a business combination, with the Company identified as the acquirer. Based on the share price of the Company’s common shares immediately prior to the Closing Date, the estimated fair value of the of the Options, RSUs, and PSUs assumed, the cash consideration paid, and settlement of the pre-existing promissory note between Roxgold and Fortuna, the total consideration of the acquisition was determined to be $655.3 million. The Company began consolidating the operating results, cash flows, and net assets of Roxgold from July 2, 2021.
In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the acquisition cost was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The consideration paid has been allocated on a provisional basis to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the Closing Date as follows:
Consideration paid: |
Fortuna shares issued to Roxgold shareholders | | $ | 582,523 | |
Options, RSUs, and PSUs assumed by Fortuna | | | 12,143 | |

(Unaudited – tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
The fair value of mineral properties exploration and evaluation assets (Level 3), debt (Level 2), and lease liabilities (Level 2) were estimated using discounted cash flow models, comparable transactions and other market-based information. The fair value of property, plant, and equipment (Level 3) were estimated using either market or cost approaches. Expected future cash flows are based on estimates of future gold prices and projected revenues, estimated quantities of mineral reserves and mineral resources, expected future production costs and capital expenditures based on life-of-mine plans at the acquisition date. The fair value of inventory (Level 3) was based on forward gold prices and the cost to complete.
The non-controlling interest represents a 10% interest in the legal entities that own the Yaramoko and Séguéla properties, by the Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire governments, respectively. The fair value (Level 3) was determined based on the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Roxgold have been provisionally determined at the end of the reporting period. The fair values will remain preliminary until the Company completes its valuation of the mineral properties and exploration and evaluation assets, property, plant and equipment, deferred taxes, and non-controlling interest. The final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which is expected to be no later than 12 months from the Closing Date, could differ significantly from the provisional amounts presented. Any adjustments made will be recognized retrospectively and comparative information will be revised.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, transaction and integration costs in the form of continuing employee payouts, advisory, legal and other professional fees of $10.5 million and $14.1 million, respectively, were expensed as incurred and included in the Roxgold transaction costs the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Consolidated revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes revenue from the properties acquired in the Transaction of $49.0 million. Consolidated net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes net income before tax from Roxgold of $4.4 million. Had the transaction occurred on January 1, 2021, pro-forma unaudited consolidated revenue and net income before tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 would have been approximately $505.8 million and $84.7 million, respectively.

We are exposed to metal price risk with respect to our sales of silver, gold, zinc, and lead. A 10% change in metal prices from the prices used at September 30, 2021 would result in the following change to sales and accounts receivable for sales which are still based on provisional prices as at September 30, 2021.
Metal | | Change | | Effect on Sales |
Silver | | +/- 10% | | $ | 1,118 |
Gold | | +/- 10% | | $ | 537 |
Lead | | +/- 10% | | $ | 459 |
Zinc | | +/- 10% | | $ | 333 |
| | | | | |
From time to time, the Company mitigates the price risk associated with its base metal production by entering into forward sale and collar contracts for some of its forecasted base metal production and non-metal commodities.

| • | zero-cost collar for 12,300 tonnes of zinc with a floor price of $2,600 per tonne and a cap of $2,900 per tonne, maturing monthly from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021; |
| • | zero-cost collar for 720,000 gallons of heating oil with a floor price of $1.40 per gallon and a cap of $1.6150 per gallon, maturing monthly from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021; |
| • | zero-cost collar for 1,680,000 gallons of jet fuel with a floor price of $1.30 per gallon and a cap of $1.4775 per gallon, maturing monthly from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021; |
| • | forward-swap for 720,000 gallons of heating oil with a price of $1.52 per gallon, maturing monthly from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022; and |

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the derivatives are credited or charged to profit or loss.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company recognized $872 thousand and $83 thousand of realized loss and gain respectively on settlement of swaps, and $2,452 thousand and $ 1,701 thousand of unrealized loss and gains respectively, from changes in the fair value of the open positions (three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 – nil and nil, respectively).

| 27. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.
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 (interest rate, yield curves), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated 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 following sets up the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments.

(Unaudited – tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Financial asset or liability | Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value |
Trade receivables | Trade receivables arising from the sales of metal concentrates are subject to provisional pricing, and the final selling price is adjusted at the end of a quotational period. These are marked to market at each reporting date based on the forward price corresponding to the expected settlement date. |
Investments in equity securities | Investments in equity securities are recorded at fair value based on the quoted market price at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair value through other comprehensive income. |
Interest rate swap, metal and fuel contracts | Fair value is calculated as the present value of the estimated contractual cash flows. Estimates of future cash flows are based on quoted swap rates, futures prices and interbank borrowing rates. These are discounted using a yield curve, and adjusted for credit risk of the Company or the counterparty. |
Convertible Debentures | The fair value of the convertible debentures represents both the debt and equity components of the convertible debentures and has been determined with reference to the quoted market price of the convertible debentures. |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, there were no transfers of amounts between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value is not presented if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

| 30. | CONTINGENCIES AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS |
| (a) | Caylloma Letter of Guarantee |
The Caylloma Mine closure plan was updated in December 2018, with total undiscounted closure costs of $11.4 million consisting of progressive closure activities of $3.5 million, final closure activities of $7.2 million, and post-closure activities of $0.8 million, pursuant to the closure regulations.
The Company is required to provide a guarantee of $9.7 million to the Peruvian Government for 2021, therefore, in January 2021, the Company established a security bond in the amount of $1.5 million and a bank letter of guarantee in the amount of $8.4 million, in compliance with local regulation and to collateralize Bateas’ mine closure plan. The security bond and the letter of guarantee expire on January 28, 2022.
On August 19, 2021, the Peruvian Government approved Law N° 31347, which modifies the Mine Closing Law. This new law adds, among other things, new criteria for the calculation of the bond required to be placed for the closing of a mine. With this update, a full mine closure plan guarantee is required. As a result, the Company will be required to provide a guarantee of $13.0 million to the Peruvian Government for 2022, and issue an updated security bond on or before January 29, 2022.
In December 2020, the Company updated the Bateas closure plan which was submitted to the Mining Ministry for approval. The Company expects the approval to occur during 2021.
| (b) | San Jose Letter of Guarantee |
The Company has established three letters of guarantee in the aggregate amount of $1.1 million to fulfill its environmental obligations under the terms and conditions of the Environmental Impact Statements issued by the Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (“SEMARNAT”) in 2009 in respect of the construction of the San Jose mine, and in 2017 and 2020 with respect to the expansion of the dry stack tailings facility at the San Jose mine. The letters of guarantee expire on December 31, 2023, June 15, 2022, and August 13, 2022, respectively.
As at September 30, 2021, the Company had capital commitments of $6.6 million and $0.7 million for civil work, equipment purchases and other services at the Lindero and San Jose Mines, respectively, which are expected to be expended within one year.
The Company entered into an agreement with a service provider wherein the Company would be required to make an early termination payment, which is reduced monthly over 30 months, if the Company terminates the agreement, and in certain circumstances, could be required to make other payments that will be negotiated between the Company and the service provider. If the Company had terminated the agreement at September 30, 2021 it would have been subject to an early termination payment of $9.6 million.
In Burkina Faso, all shipments with gold spot prices lower or equal to $1,000 per ounce are subject to a royalty rate of 3%, a 4% rate is applied to all shipments with gold spot prices between $1,000 and $1,300 per ounce, and a 5% royalty rate is applied to all shipments with a gold spot price greater than $1,300 per ounce. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company was subject to royalty rates of 5%. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, government royalties amounting to $2.5 million were incurred with the Government of Burkina Faso. The Company is also subject to a 1% contribution to a mining fund for local development. This amounted to $0.5 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
(Unaudited – tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
The Company was assessed $1.2 million (4.3 million Peruvian soles), including interest and penalties of $0.6 million (2.4 million Peruvian soles), for the 2010 tax year by SUNAT, the Peruvian tax authority, with respect to the deduction of certain losses arising from derivative instruments. The Company has applied to the Peruvian tax court to appeal the assessment.
On January 22, 2019, the Peruvian tax court reaffirmed SUNAT’s position and denied the deduction. The Company believes the assessment is inconsistent with Peruvian tax law and that it is probable the Company will succeed on appeal through the Peruvian legal system. The Company has paid the disputed amount in full and has initiated proceedings through the Peruvian legal system to appeal the decision of the Peruvian tax court.
As at September 30, 2021, the Company has recorded the amount paid of $1.2 million (4.3 million Peruvian soles) in long-term receivables and other, as the Company believes it is probable that the appeal will be successful (Note 10).
In January 2020, the Company received notice from the Dirección General de Minas (“DGM”) seeking to cancel one of the Company’s mining concessions at the San Jose Mine in Oaxaca, Mexico if a disputed royalty, in the Mexican peso equivalent of $30 million plus VAT (being the amount of the claimed royalty from 2011 to 2019), was not paid before March 15, 2020. In early February 2020, the Company began legal proceedings (the “Amparo Proceedings”) to contest the initiation of the cancellation procedure taken by the DGM on the Company’s mining concession, if the royalty claimed by the Mexican Geological Service (the “SGM”) was not paid. Effective May 27, 2021, the DGM provided notice to the Company of the termination of the cancellation procedure, as it had determined that the required cause for the cancellation of the concession was not established. As a result the Company discontinued the Amparo Proceedings in the Collegiate Court in Mexico. Further, on advice received from Mexican counsel, the Company withdrew the administrative and legal proceedings that it had initiated in the Mexican Fedreal Administrative Court to remove reference to the royalty on the title register.
On October 7, 2021, the Company and the SGM entered into a settlement agreement, pursuant to which the Company paid to the SGM the amount of $9.6 million, plus value added tax (which is included in Other Expenses) to end any prior dispute, and agreed to pay to the SGM a three percent royalty on the billing value of minerals obtained from the concession from May 1, 2021 on an ongoing basis, on terms to be set out in a royalty agreement to be negotiated by the parties. The terms of the settlement are confidential and the Company has not admitted any liability.
The Company is subject to various investigations, royalties and other claims, legal, labor, and tax proceedings covering matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably for the Company. Certain conditions may exist as of the date these interim financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company. None of these matters is expected to have a material effect on the results of operations or financial conditions of the Company.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
(Unaudited – tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
On November 4, 2021, the Company entered into a fourth amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”) effective November 5, 2021, with a syndicate of Banks led by BNP Paribas, and including The Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal and Société Générale, which converted the Company’s prior non-revolving and revolving facilities with the Bank of Nova Scotia and BNP Paribas (the “Scotiabank Facility”) into a revolving term credit facility and increased the amount of the facility from $120.0 million to $200.0 million, subject to the conditions described below. The facility has a term of four years and steps down to $150.0 million after three years. Interest accrues on LIBOR loans under the facility at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of between two and three percent which varies according to the consolidated leverage levels of the Company.
On closing of the Amended Credit Facility, $120.0 million was available for drawdown and was drawn down in full. If a new San Jose EIA has not been approved or the existing San Jose EIA has not been extended by January 23, 2022, the availability of the Amended Credit Facility will be reduced to $100.0 million (see Note 31(b)). The total Amended Credit Facility of up to $200.0 million will only become available upon receipt of the new San Jose EIA or San Jose EIA extension.
On November 10, 2021, Compania Minera Cuzcatlan, S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Cuzcatlan”), the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, received written notification from SEMARNAT that its application to extend the San Jose EIA had been denied. The San Jose mine is currently operating under the protection of the Mexican courts which allows the continued operation of the San Jose mine beyond the expiry date of the EIA. Minera Cuzcatlan has the right and intends to appeal the decision of SEMARNAT and will continue to pursue all legal protection available to it in order to continue to operate pending the appeal of the decision of SEMARNAT (see Note 31(b)).
Under the terms of the amended credit facility, the Company must obtain by November 20, 2021 a permanent injunction or equivalent protection, in form and substance acceptable to the lenders acting reasonably, which allows the Company to continue to operate the mine.
The Company’s principal operating subsidiaries in Mexico, Peru, Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso, and their respective direct and indirect holding companies, have guaranteed the obligations of the Company contemplated by the Amended Credit Facility. The Company has pledged all of its assets to secure the payment of its obligations contemplated by the Amended Credit Facility and the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries in Mexico and Peru, as well as the direct and indirect holding companies of the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries in Mexico, Peru, Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso, have pledged all of their respective assets to secure their respective guarantees of such payment, including the shares of the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries in Mexico, Peru, Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso. The Company’s principal operating subsidiary in Burkina Faso has pledged its bank accounts to secure the obligations under its guarantee.
The Amended Credit Facility includes covenants customary for a facility of this nature, which are substantially similar to those that governed the Scotiabank Facility. The Company must comply with the terms of the Amended Credit Facility relating to, among other matters, reporting requirements, and positive, negative, and financial covenants set out in therein. As at September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Scotiabank Facility.
Immediatley prior to the completion of the Amended Credit Facility, the Company repaid the existing Roxgold credit facility in the amount of $28.4 million.
| (b) | Environmental impact authorization at San Jose Mine |
In 2009, SEMARNAT granted an Environmental Impact Authorization (“EIA”) to Fortuna’s Mexican subsidiary, Companía Minera Cuzcatlán (“CMC”), which authorized the construction, execution and maintenance of the San Jose Mine for a period of 12 years effective until October 23, 2021. In May 2021, CMC filed an application to extend the term of the EIA for an additional period of 10 years. SEMARNAT requested additional information pertaining to the application which has been provided.
On November 10, 2021, Minera Cuzcatlan received written notification from SEMARNAT that its application, made in May 2021, for a 10 year extension to its Environmental Impact Authorization for the San Jose Mine which expired on October 23, 2021 had been denied. SEMARNAT denied the application for the extension citing a pending evaluation by SEMARNAT related to the regularization of ancillary infrastructure at the mine site. In addition, it cited non receipt of requested information, which the Company has already provided to the authority. The Company is reviewing the reasons for the denial with its advisors, but believes that it is fundamentally in compliance with all material aspects of the San Jose EIA and is entitled to an extension.
The San Jose mine is currently operating under the protection of the Mexican courts which allows the continued operation of the San Jose mine beyond the expiry date of the EIA. Minera Cuzcatlan has the right and intends to appeal the decision of SEMARNAT and will continue to pursue all legal protection available to it in order to continue to operate pending the appeal of the decision of SEMARNAT.
