AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES LTD. Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted) |
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
|
|
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company” or “Avino”) was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of silver, gold, and copper and the acquisition, exploration, and advancement of mineral properties. | |
|
|
The Company’s head office and principal place of business is Suite 900, 570 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada and the United States, and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”), the NYSE MKT, and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges. | |
|
|

|
2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
|
|
Statement of Compliance | |
|
|
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Company, except as described under “Basis of Presentation”. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all of the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2017, annual consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. | |
|
|
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expressed in US dollars and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting on a going concern basis. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements as if the policies have always been in effect, other than those described below: | |
|
|
Adoption of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) | |
|
|
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the requirements of IFRS 15. IFRS 15 covers principles that an entity shall apply to report useful information to users of the financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The Company elected to apply IFRS 15 using a full retrospective approach. | |
|
|
IFRS 15 requires companies to recognize revenue when “control” of goods or services transfers to the customer, whereas the previous standard, IAS 18, required entities to recognize revenue when the “risks and rewards” of the goods or services transfer to the customer. The Company concluded that there is no change to the timing of revenue recognition of its concentrate sales under IFRS 15 compared to the previous standard. As such, no adjustment was required to the Company’s financial statements. | |
|
|
Additionally, IFRS 15 requires companies to apportion the transaction price attributable to contracts from customers with distinct performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Certain of the Company’s concentrate agreements stipulate that the Company must pay the shipping and insurance costs necessary to bring the goods to the named destination. As such, a portion of revenue earned under these contracts, representing the obligation to fulfill the shipping and insurance services that occur after the transfer of control, is deferred and recognized over time as the obligations are fulfilled. The impact of this change is not significant to the Company’s financial statements. |
- 6 - |
AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES LTD. Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted) |
| IFRS 15 requires that variable consideration should only be recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company concluded that the adjustments relating to the final assay results for the quantity and quality of concentrate sold are not significant and do not constrain the recognition of revenue.
Adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the requirements of IFRS 9. IFRS 9 provides a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward-looking “expected-loss” impairment model. The Company adopted a retrospective approach, other than for hedge accounting, which is applied prospectively.
IFRS 9 did not impact the Company’s classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, and there was no significant impact on the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments at the transition date. The Company had the option to designate its current equity securities as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss. The Company chose not to make this election, and changes in the fair value of its current equity securities will continue to be recognized in profit or loss in accordance with the Company’s current policy.
The introduction of the new ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model had negligible impact on the Company, given the Company sells its concentrate to large international organizations with no historical level of customer default, and the corresponding receivables from these sales are short-term in nature.
The Company currently has no hedging arrangements, and will apply the new accounting requirements under IFRS 9 as required.
Additional Disclosures
Additional disclosures have been presented in Note 14 as a result of adopting IFRS 15.
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The Company’s management makes judgments in its process of applying the Company’s accounting policies to the preparation of its condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In addition, the preparation of financial data requires that the Company’s management make assumptions and estimates of the impacts on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period from uncertain future events and on the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting impacts on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.
The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018, are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, other than those described below: |

| Revenue Recognition as a Result of Adoption IFRS 15
Performance Obligations
Based on the criteria outlined in IFRS 15, the Company applied significant judgment in determining that the primary performance obligation relating to its sales contracts is the delivery of concentrates. Shipping and insurance services arranged by the Company for concentrate sales that occur after the transfer of control are also considered performance obligations.
Transfer of Control
Based on the criteria outlined in IFRS 15, the Company applied significant judgment in determining when the transfer of control occurs. Management based its assessment on a number of indicators of control, which include but are not limited to, whether the Company has the present right of payment and whether the physical possession of the goods, significant risks and rewards, and legal title have been transferred to the customer.
Provisional Pricing
Based on the criteria outlined in IFRS 15, the Company applied significant judgment in determining variable consideration. The Company identified two provisional pricing components in concentrate sales, represents variable consideration in the form of a) adjustments between original and final assay results relating to the quantity and quality of concentrate shipments, as well as b) pricing adjustments between provisional and final invoicing based on market prices for base and precious metals.
Based on the Company’s historical accuracy in the assay process, as evidenced by the negligible historical adjustments relating to assay differences, the Company concluded the variability in consideration caused by the assaying results is negligible. The Company does not expect a significant amount of reversal related to assaying differences. The Company records revenues based on provisional invoices based on quoted market prices of the London Bullion Market Association and the London Metal Exchange during the quotation period outlined in the concentrate sales agreement. The Company applied judgment to determine the amount of variable consideration to be recognized during the period for which the likelihood of significant reversal is low.
Changes in accounting standards not yet effective:
The Company has not early adopted any amendment, standard or interpretation that has been issued by the IASB but is not yet effective. The following accounting standards were issued and are effective as of June 30, 2018:
IFRS 16 – Leases
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”) which replaces IAS 17 – Leases and its associated interpretative guidance, and will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided the Company has adopted IFRS 15. This standard sets out a new model for lease accounting. A lessee can choose to apply IFRS 16 using either a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. The Company plans to apply IFRS 16 at the date it becomes effective and has not yet selected a transition approach.
The Company is in the process of identifying and collecting data relating to existing agreements that may contain right-of-use assets. At this time it is not possible for the Company to make reasonable quantitative estimates of the effects of the new standard, and is currently evaluating its expected impact on the consolidated financial statements. |

3. | VOLUNTARY CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY |
|
|
Upon review of the Company’s experience at the Avino and San Gonzalo mines, on a retrospective basis, we have changed our accounting policy under IFRS 6 and IAS 16 in accounting for our Exploration and Evaluation Assets and Development Costs. The change in accounting policy resulted in a reassessment of the commencement of production date from April 1, 2016 to July 1, 2015, at the Avino Mine. The voluntary change in accounting policy is intended to provide shareholders with a better reflection of our business activities to enhance the comparability of our consolidated financial statements to our peers and to make the consolidated financial statements more relevant to the economic decision-making needs of users. | |
|
|
Accordingly, the Company has adopted the following exploration and evaluation assets and development costs accounting policy as at June 30, 2018: | |
|
|
Exploration and Evaluation Assets and Development Costs | |
|
|
(i) Exploration and evaluation expenditures | |
|
|
The Company capitalizes all costs relating to the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral claims. Expenditures incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore a specific area are expensed. The Company’s capitalized exploration and evaluation costs are classified as intangible assets. Such costs include, but are not limited to, certain camp costs, geophysical studies, exploratory drilling, geological and sampling expenditures, and depreciation of plant and equipment during the exploration stage. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the period in which they occur. Proceeds from the sale of mineral products or farm outs during the exploration and evaluation stage are deducted from the related capitalized costs. | |
|
|
The carrying values of capitalized amounts are reviewed annually, or when indicators of impairment are present. In the case of undeveloped properties, there may be only inferred resources to allow management to form a basis for the impairment review. The review is based on the Company’s intentions for the development of such properties. If a mineral property does not prove to be viable, all unrecoverable costs associated with the property are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) at the time the determination is made. |
- 9 - |
AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES LTD. Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted) |
| When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources have been demonstrated, exploration and evaluation costs are assessed for impairment, reclassified to mining properties and become subject to depletion. Management considers the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource to be demonstrable upon the completion of a positive feasibility study and the establishment of mineral reserves. For certain mineral projects, management may determine the completion of a feasibility study to be cost prohibitive, unnecessary or to present undue risk to the structural integrity of the ore body. Under such circumstances, management considers technical feasibility to be demonstrable when the Company has obtained the necessary environmental and mining permits, land surface and mineral access rights, and the mineral project can be physically constructed and operated in a technically sound manner to produce a saleable mineral product. In assessing whether commercial viability is demonstrable, management considers if its internal economic assessment indicates that the mineral project can be mined to generate a reasonable return on investment for the risk undertaken, and markets or long-term contracts for the product exist.
(ii) Development Expenditures
Mine Development Costs are capitalized until the mineral property is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The Company evaluates the following factors in determining whether a mining property is capable of operating in the manner intended by management: | |
|
|
|
| · | The completion and assessment of a reasonable commissioning period of the mill and mining facilities; |
| · | Consistent operating results are achieved during the test period; |
| · | Existence of clear indicators that operating levels intended by management will be sustainable for the foreseeable future; |
| · | Plant / mill has reached a pre-determined percentage of design capacity; |
| · | Adequate funding is available and can be allocated to the operating activities; and, |
| · | Long term sales arrangements have been secured. |
|
|
|
| The carrying values of capitalized development costs are reviewed annually, or when indicators are present, for impairment. |

| Effect of Change in Accounting Policy
As a result of applying the change in accounting policy, we have determined that the production phase would have commenced effective July 1, 2015. Accordingly, we have determined that the accumulated impact on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position would be an increase in Plant, equipment and mining properties, and the impact of our Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) would be an increase in Revenue from Mining Operations and Costs of Sales as such amounts are not offset during production, resulting in a decreased in Accumulated deficit. The retrospective application of this change in accounting policy on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at December 31, 2017, is as follows: |

| The Unification La Platosa properties, consisting of three leased concessions in addition to the leased concession described in note (i) above, are situated within the Avino mine area property near the towns of Panuco de Coronado and San Jose de Avino and surrounding the Avino Mine. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| In February 2012, the Company’s wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary entered into a new agreement with Minerales de Avino, S.A. de C.V. (“Minerales”) whereby Minerales has indirectly granted to the Company the exclusive right to explore and mine the La Platosa property known as the “ET zone”. The ET zone includes the Avino Mine, where production at levels intended by management was achieved on July 1, 2015. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| Under the agreement, the Company has obtained the exclusive right to explore and mine the property for an initial period of 15 years, with the option to extend the agreement for another 5 years. In consideration of the granting of these rights, the Company issued 135,189 common shares with a fair value of C$250 during the year ended December 31, 2012. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Company has agreed to pay to Minerales a royalty equal to 3.5% of net smelter returns (“NSR”). In addition, after the start of production, if the minimum monthly processing rate of the mine facilities is less than 15,000 tonnes, then the Company must pay to Minerales a minimum royalty equal to the applicable NSR royalty based on the processing at a monthly rate of 15,000 tonnes. |

|
| Minerales has also granted to the Company the exclusive right to purchase a 100% interest in the property at any time during the term of the agreement (or any renewal thereof), upon payment of $8 million within 15 days of the Company’s notice of election to acquire the property. The purchase would be subject to a separate purchase agreement for the legal transfer of the property. |
| (b) British Columbia, Canada | ||

|
|
|
|
| (i) | Bralorne Mine |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Company owns a 100% undivided interest in certain mineral properties located in the Lillooet Mining Division. There is an underlying agreement on 12 crown grants in which the Company is required to pay 1.6385% of net smelter proceeds of production from the claims, and pay fifty cents Canadian (C$0.50) per ton of ore produced from these claims if the ore grade exceeds 0.75 ounces per ton gold. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Company also owns land and mineral claims for the Bralorne Mine project in connection with ongoing plans for exploration and potential expansion, which include nine mineral claims covering approximately 2,114 hectares in the Lillooet Mining Division of British Columbia (the “BRX Property”).The BRX Property carries a 1% net smelter returns royalty to a maximum of C$250, and a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| (ii) | Minto and Olympic-Kelvin properties |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Company’s mineral claims in British Columbia encompass two additional properties, Minto and Olympic-Kelvin, each of which consists of 100% owned Crown-granted mineral claims located in the Lillooet Mining Division. |
| (b) | Yukon, Canada |
|
|
|
| The Company has a 100% interest in 14 quartz leases located in the Mayo Mining Division of Yukon, Canada, which collectively comprise the Eagle property. | |
|
|
|
| During the year ended December 31, 2017, an option agreement was signed between Avino and Alexco Resource Corp. (“Alexco”), granting Alexco the right to acquire a 65% interest in all 14 quartz mining leases. To exercise the option, Alexco must pay Avino a total of C$70 in instalments over 4 years, issue Avino a total of 70,000 Alexco common shares in instalments over 4 years, incur C$550 in exploration work by the second anniversary of the option agreement date, and a further C$2.2 million in exploration work on the Eagle Property by the fourth anniversary of the option agreement date. | |
|
|
|
| In the event that Alexco earns its 65% interest in the Eagle Property, Alexco and Avino will form a joint venture for the future exploration and development of the Eagle Property, and may contribute towards expenditures in proportion to their interests (65% Alexco / 35% Avino). If either company elects to not contribute its share of costs, then its interest will be diluted. If either company’s joint venture interest is diluted to less than 10%, its interest will convert to a 5.0% net smelter returns royalty, subject to the other’s right to buy-down the royalty to 2.0% for C$2.5 million. | |
|
|
|
| The Eagle Property was previously inactive and held by Avino as a non-essential asset to its current operations. |

9. | TERM FACILITY |
|
|
| In July 2015, the Company entered into a $10 million term facility with Samsung C&T U.K. Limited (“Samsung”). Interest is charged on the facility at a rate of US dollar LIBOR (3 month) plus 4.75%, and the facility was to be repaid in 15 consecutive equal monthly instalments starting in June 2016. Pursuant to the agreement, in August 2015, Avino commenced selling concentrates produced during ramp advancement and ongoing evaluation and extraction at the Avino Mine on an exclusive basis to Samsung. Samsung pays for the concentrates at the prevailing metal prices for their silver, copper, and gold content at or about the time of delivery, less interest, treatment, refining, shipping, and insurance charges.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company and Samsung agreed to amend the Company’s existing term facility by extending the repayment period. Repayments of the remaining balance will be made in 13 equal monthly instalments commencing in July 2018 and ending July 2019. The Company will sell the Avino Mine concentrates on an exclusive basis to Samsung until December 31, 2021.
The facility is secured by the concentrates produced under the agreement and by the common shares of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. The facility with Samsung relates to the sale of concentrates produced from the Avino Mine only and does not include concentrates produced from the San Gonzalo Mine that are sold to Samsung.
The continuity of the term facility with Samsung is as follows: |

10. | WARRANT LIABILITY |
|
|
The Company’s warrant liability arises as a result of the issuance of warrants exercisable in U.S. dollars. As the denomination is different from the Canadian dollar functional currency of the entity issuing the underlying shares, the Company recognizes a derivative liability for these warrants and re-measures the liability at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes model. A reconciliation of the changes in the warrant liability during the six months ended June 30, 2018, and year ended December 31, 2017, is as follows: |

As at June 30, 2018, the weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding was 1.41 years (December 31, 2017 – 1.91 years). | |
|
|
Valuation of the warrant liability requires the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The expected volatility used in valuing warrants is based on volatility observed in historical periods. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of the warrant liability was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions and resulting fair values: |

The present value of the obligation in Mexico of $1,631 (December 31, 2017 – $1,584) was calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 7.50% (December 31, 2017 – 7.68%) and an inflation rate of 4.60% (December 31, 2017 – 6.77%). Reclamation activities are estimated to begin in 2019 for the San Gonzalo Mine and in 2028 for the Avino Mine. | |
|
|
The present value of the obligation for Bralorne of $9,749 (December 31, 2017 – $10,054) was calculated using a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 3.46% (December 31, 2017 – 3.46%) and a weighted average inflation rate of 1.67% (December 31, 2017 – 1.67%). Reclamation activities are estimated to begin in 2021. | |

| (d) | Restricted Share Units: |
|
|
|
|
| On May 27, 2016, the Company’s Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) Plan was approved by its shareholders. The RSU Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee under the supervision of the Board of Directors as compensation to officers, directors, consultants, and employees. The Compensation Committee determines the terms and conditions upon which a grant is made, including any performance criteria or vesting period.
Upon vesting, each RSU entitles the participant to receive one common share, provided that the participant is continuously employed with or providing services to the Company. RSUs track the value of the underlying common shares, but do not entitle the recipient to the underlying common shares until such RSUs vest, nor do they entitle a holder to exercise voting rights or any other rights attached to ownership or control of the common shares, until the RSU vests and the RSU participant receives common shares.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, no RSUs (year ended December 31, 2017 – 80,500) were granted. All RSUs granted vest one-third annually from the date of the grant until fully vested at the end of the three-year term. For the RSUs issued in the year ended December 31, 2017, the weighted average fair value at the measurement date was C$1.98, based on the TSX-V market price of the Company’s shares on the date the RSUs were granted. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 60 RSUs are, and were, available for issuance under the plan. |

18. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
|
|
The fair values of the Company’s amounts due to related parties and accounts payable approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash, amounts receivable, short- and long-term investments, and warrant liability are recorded at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s term facility, equipment loans, and finance lease obligations are a reasonable approximation of their fair values based on current market rates for similar financial instruments. | |
|
|
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. |
| (a) | Credit Risk |
|
|
|
| Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company has exposure to credit risk through its cash, short-term investments and amounts receivable. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash and short-term investments, by maintaining the majority of cash and short-term investments at highly rated financial institutions. | |
|
|
|
| The Company is exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its trade accounts receivable balance because all of its concentrate sales are with six (December 31, 2017 – three) counterparties (see Note 19). However, the Company has not recorded any allowance against its trade receivables because to-date all balances owed have been settled in full when due (typically within 60 days of submission) and because of the nature of the counterparties. | |
|
|
|
| The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of any period is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets as recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. At June 30, 2018, no amounts were held as collateral. |

| (b) | Liquidity Risk |
|
|
|
| Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company had cash at June 30, 2018, in the amount of $4,766 and working capital of $10,020 in order to meet short-term business requirements. Accounts payable have contractual maturities of approximately 30 to 90 days, or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms. The current portions of term facility, equipment loans, and finance lease obligations are due within 12 months of the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position date. Amounts due to related parties are without stated terms of interest or repayment. | |
|

| The maturity profiles of the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments as at June 30, 2018, are summarized as follows: |

|
| (c) | Market Risk |
|
|
|
| Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk. These are discussed further below. | |
|
|
|
| Interest Rate Risk | |
|
|
|
| Interest rate risk consists of two components: |
|
| (i) | To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk. |
|
|
|
|
|
| (ii) | To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rates on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk. |
|
|
|
|
|
| In management’s opinion, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate cash flow risk as the Company’s term facility, equipment loans, and finance lease obligations bear interest at fixed rates. |

Foreign Currency Risk | |
|
|
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that the following monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Mexican pesos and Canadian dollars: |

Based on the net US dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at June 30, 2018, a 10% fluctuation in the US/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2018, by approximately $780 (year ended December 31, 2017 - $327). The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk. | |
|
|
Price Risk | |
|
|
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. | |
|
|
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its accounts receivable, as certain trade accounts receivable are recorded based on provisional terms that are subsequently adjusted according to quoted metal prices at the date of final settlement. Quoted metal prices are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control and are subject to volatility, and the Company does not employ hedging strategies to limit its exposure to price risk. At June 30, 2018, based on outstanding accounts receivable that were subject to pricing adjustments, a 10% change in metals prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $93 (December 31, 2017 - $224). | |
|
|
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its long-term investments, as these investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Changes in market prices result in gains or losses being recognized in net income (loss). At June 30, 2018, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings of approximately $Nil (December 31, 2017 - $3). | |
|
|
The Company’s profitability and ability to raise capital to fund exploration, evaluation and production activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in mineral prices. Management closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. |

| (d) | Classification of Financial Instruments |
|
|
|
|
| IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at June 30, 2018: |
|
| Level 1 |
|
| Level 2 |
