SSR Mining Inc. (formerly Silver Standard Resources Inc.)
|
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 |
(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated) |
SSR Mining Inc. ("we", "us", "our" or "SSR Mining"), formerly Silver Standard Resources Inc., is a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and our shares are publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada and the NASDAQ Global Market in the United States. On May 4, 2017 our shareholders approved a name change to SSR Mining Inc., with the name change becoming effective on August 1, 2017. Together with our subsidiaries, we (the “Group”) are principally engaged in the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal resource properties located in the Americas. We have three producing mines and a portfolio of precious metal dominant projects located throughout the Americas. SSR Mining Inc. is the ultimate parent of the Group.
Our address is Suite 800, 1055 Dunsmuir Street, PO Box 49088, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1G4.
Our focus is on safe, profitable gold and silver production from our Marigold mine in Nevada, U.S., Seabee Gold Operation in Saskatchewan, Canada and our 75% owned Puna Operations in Jujuy, Argentina, and to advance, as market and project conditions permit, our other principal development projects towards development and commercial production.
| |
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are set out below.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been 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. The comparative information has also been prepared on this basis.
These statements were authorized for issue by our Board of Directors on November 7, 2017.
| |
b) | Significant accounting judgments and estimates |
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of assumptions, judgments and/or estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. These assumptions, judgments and estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to previous experience, but actual results may differ materially from the amounts included in the financial statements. The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are consistent with those applied and disclosed in note 2(u) to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 other than the following accounting estimates;
| |
(i) | Export duties on Pirquitas mine |
Following the resolution of the export duty claim (note 7), we have measured the resulting liability in Argentine pesos ("ARS") at net present value of estimated future cash outflows. This required an estimate of the most appropriate discount rate to use for such an ARS liability.

|
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 |
(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated) |
| |
(ii) | Mine life extension of the Pirquitas mine |
Following our exercise of the option to form the Puna Operations joint venture, and subsequent closure of the transaction (note 3), during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 we re-assessed our estimates for: (a) the recoverable amount of plant assets that were previously impaired; (b) depreciable lives of remaining plant assets; (c) value added tax ("VAT") collectability; (d) supplies inventory usage; and (e) timing of cash flows for our close down and restoration provision. The result of these changes in estimates was an impairment reversal of $24,357,000 (note 6) and a reduction to our close down and restoration provision of $5,377,000 (note 7).
| |
(iii) | Recognition of Puna Operations joint venture |
As a result of the formation of the Puna Operations joint venture we were required to recognize the acquired Chinchillas mineral property asset at fair value (note 3). The valuation required significant management judgment in determining an appropriate valuation approach, and furthermore significant estimation to determine appropriate assumptions for planned metal production and costs (operating and capital), metal prices, discount rate, VAT recoveries and other working capital movements.
| |
3. | PUNA OPERATIONS JOINT VENTURE |
On March 31, 2017, we exercised our option on the Chinchillas project and on May 31, 2017 formed a jointly owned company with Golden Arrow Resources Corporation ("Golden Arrow") called Puna Operations Inc. ("Puna Operations") for the development of the property. The jointly owned company, holding the Pirquitas and Chinchillas properties, is owned 75% by SSR Mining and we are the operator. This transaction is expected to extend the Puna Operations operating life by approximately eight years.
Under the terms of the arrangement we paid the option exercise payment to Golden Arrow of $12,972,000, net of cash acquired.
At May 31, 2017 we recognized an asset of $28,839,000 representing the fair value of the Chinchillas mineral property acquired. In addition, we recognized a non-controlling interest of $18,572,000. As we retain control of Puna Operations, the difference between the carrying value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the non-controlling interest, was recognized in equity attributable to our shareholders; this totaled $1,341,000.

The carrying value of the asset was reclassified from an asset held for sale of $8,098,000 to marketable securities received of $1,098,000, and deferred consideration of $7,246,000. A gain on sale of $246,000 was recorded in other income.
In addition, during the period we also sold one ball mill that had been classified as held for sale, and wrote down the carrying value of a second mill to reflect its fair value based upon sales proceeds received for the first mill.

Impairment reversal of non-current assets
On May 31, 2017 we formed the Puna Operations joint venture (note 3), which is estimated to have an operating life of approximately eight years. As a result of this transaction the operating life extension was considered to be an indicator of reversal of previous impairments that had been recognized against Pirquitas plant assets.
The maximum impairment reversal that is permitted is to return the asset balance to the carrying value at which it would have been had no previous impairments been recorded, which was $24,357,000 higher than the existing carrying value.
We determined that the fair value less cost to dispose of the cash generating unit significantly exceeded the maximum permitted impairment reversal. A discounted cash flow analysis was performed using a discount rate of 10% and the following estimated metal prices;
|
| | | | | |
| 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | LT |
Silver / oz | $17.93 | $18.72 | $19.14 | $19.53 | $19.65 |

Zinc / lb | $1.27 | $1.31 | $1.24 | $1.18 | $1.06 |
As a result we recognized an impairment reversal of $24,357,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

(1) | We entered into a fiscal stability agreement with the Federal Government of Argentina in 1998 for production from the Pirquitas mine. In December 2007, the National Customs Authority of Argentina (Dirección Nacional de Aduanas) ("Customs") levied an export duty of approximately 10% from concentrate for projects with fiscal stability agreements pre-dating 2002 and Customs had asserted that the Pirquitas mine was subject to this duty. We had previously challenged the legality of the export duty applied to silver concentrate. |
On March 31, 2017, we entered into the tax moratorium system in Argentina to resolve the export duty dispute. Under the conditions of the moratorium, which converts the export duty liability to ARS, we have agreed to pay ARS 1,057,444,000 ($68,621,000 undiscounted) with a 5% down payment initially and the balance in installments over 60 months. Outstanding ARS amounts are subject to interest at a minimum rate of 1.5% per month.
With our entry into the tax moratorium for resolution of our export duty dispute, we are no longer challenging the legality of the application of the export duty other than with respect to our right for reimbursement of the $6,646,000 of export duty that we paid. Export duties were removed effective February 12, 2016. At December 31, 2016 we had accrued a provision for $67,130,000 for unpaid duties but had not accrued for potential interest and penalties.
Entering the tax moratorium resolves the existing liability, and we have recognized the new ARS liability at estimated net present value of future cash outflows by discounting expected future payments using a discount rate of 20% per annum over the 60-month period. We paid 5%, or $3,431,000, when entering the moratorium on March 31, 2017 and recognized the reduction in the liability of $4,303,000 within cost of sales. We subsequently paid principal and interest of $9,168,000

(2) | As at September 30, 2017, all employee termination benefits as a result of the Pirquitas pit closure in 2017 were paid, and the remaining provision of $1,105,000 was released in the period. |
| |
(3) | Following notice of our intent to exercise our option on the Chinchillas project (note 3), we re-assessed the estimated timing of reclamation cash flows for the Pirquitas property. The extension of the life of the Pirquitas plant has resulted in cash flows related to decommissioning the plant, being delayed by approximately eight years. The impact was a net reduction of our close down and restoration provision of $5,377,000, of which there was a reduction recorded against the carrying value of the plant of $8,954,000, and an increase in other costs of reclamation due to inflation in our cost estimates of $3,577,000. |

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 we transferred $2,057,000 from Level 3 to Level 1 following the reverse take-over ("RTO") of Huayra Minerals Corporation ("HMC"), as discussed below; the shares of a previously private company that we classified as Level 3 became publicly traded and the fair value is now based upon observable market data. There were no reclassifications during 2016.
Reverse takeover of HMC
On April 24, 2017, HMC completed a RTO with AbraPlata Resource Corp. ("AbraPlata"). As a result of the RTO, our shares in HMC were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for 11,295,000 common shares of AbraPlata, representing 19.9% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of AbraPlata as of April 24, 2017. We also received a cash installment of $500,000 on April 30, 2017.
