Accounting for the acquisition of Maverix Metals Inc.
Management determined that the Company’s acquisition of Maverix Metals Inc. (“Maverix”) (Note 4), which owned a portfolio of stream, royalty and other interests, did not meet the definition of a business combination under IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. The acquisition included amounts receivable, mineral interests, financial assets, loans receivable and liabilities. Streams and royalties are standard contractual entitlements and Triple Flag can continue to utilize its existing processes to manage royalty receipts. Accordingly, the acquisition was accounted for as the purchase of individual assets and liabilities in accordance with relevant IFRS standards (IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment, IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets). The identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were measured at their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of the relative fair values required management to make assumptions and estimates on the future production profiles, metal prices, discount rates, and exchange rates.
Impairment
As at June 30, 2023, the Company did not identify any indicators of impairment or reversal of impairment for any of its mineral interests and as a result, no impairment test was performed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
