Overview

The Company is a precious metals producer with two operations in the world's leading silver mining regions: the Galena Complex in Idaho, USA and the Cosalá Operations in Sinaloa, Mexico, and is advancing technical studies at the Relief Canyon mine (“Relief Canyon”) in Nevada, USA following a suspension of mining activities in August 2021.

In Idaho, USA, the Company operates the 60%-owned producing Galena Complex (40% owned by Mr. Eric Sprott (“Sprott”)) whose primary assets are the operating Galena mine, the Coeur mine, and the contiguous Caladay development project in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District of the northern Idaho Silver Valley. The Galena Complex has recorded production of over 230 million ounces of silver along with associated by-product metals of copper and lead over a production history of more than sixty years. The Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Sprott effective October 1, 2019 for a 40% non-controlling interest of the Galena Complex. The goal of the joint venture agreement is to position the Galena Complex to significantly grow resources, increase production, and reduce operating costs at the mine (the “Recapitalization Plan”).

In Sinaloa, Mexico, the Company operates the 100%-owned Cosalá Operations, which includes the San Rafael silver-zinc-lead mine (“San Rafael”), after declaring commercial production in December 2017. Prior to that time, it operated the Nuestra Señora silver-zinc-copper-lead mine after commissioning the Los Braceros processing facility and declaring commercial production in January 2009. The Cosalá area land holdings also host several other known precious metals and polymetallic deposits, past-producing mines, and development projects including the Zone 120 silver-copper deposit and the El Cajón silver-copper deposit. These properties are located in close proximity to the Los Braceros processing plant. The Company also owns a 100% interest in the San Felipe development project in Sonora, Mexico, which it acquired on October 8, 2020.

In Nevada, USA, the Company is advancing technical studies at the 100%-owned, Relief Canyon located in Pershing County. The mine poured its first gold in February 2020 and declared commercial production in January 2021. Operations were suspended in August 2021 in order to resolve technical challenges related to the metallurgical characteristics of the deposit. The past-producing mine includes three historic open-pit mines, a crusher, ore conveying system, leach pads, and a refurbished heap-leach processing facility. The landholdings at Relief Canyon and the surrounding area cover over 11,700 hectares, providing the Company the potential to expand the Relief Canyon deposit and to explore for new discoveries close to existing processing infrastructure.

Recent Developments and Operational Discussion

Q3-2023 Highlights

Revenue of $18.3 million for Q3-2023 compared to revenue of $18.3 million for Q3-2022, resulting from higher silver production and silver price from the Galena Complex, offset by slighly lower base metal production and lower zinc prices from the Cosalá Operations during the most recent period.
A net loss of $10.4 million for Q3-2023, or an attributable loss of $0.04 per share representing a decrease in net loss of $14.1 million compared to Q3-2022, primarily due to the prior period’s recognition of an impairment to property, plant and equipment at Relief Canyon of $13.4 million.
Consolidated attributable production of approximately 1.0 million ounces of silver equivalent1, including 0.4 million ounces of silver, 9.0 million pounds of zinc and 4.7 million pounds of lead, with cost of sales of $14.52/oz silver equivalent produced1, cash costs of $19.01/oz silver produced1 and all-in sustaining costs of $29.55/oz silver produced1 during the quarter.
Production was negatively impacted early in the quarter by a planned 5-day electrical shutdown at the Galena Complex to allow necessary hoist switchgear upgrades, as well as mobile equipment availability. The Cosalá Operations had various mill outages totalling 14 days due to heavy rain and tailings work during the Q3-2023 period.
In Q3-2023, the Company developed to the transition zone between the San Rafael Upper Zone and Zone 120 and mined approximately 10,000 tonnes to-date with an average grade in excess of 200 grams per tonne. The Company expects to realize an increase in silver production in the near term due the higher-grade silver areas in the Upper Zone and this transition zone.
Following the end of the quarter, the Company commenced discussions with interested metal traders to provide concentrate prepayment financing for the capital requirements at its 100%-owned El Cajón and Zone 120 silver-copper project (“EC120 Project”) at the Cosalá Operations. The 2019 Preliminary Feasibility Study for the project forecasted production of 12 million ounces of silver and 23 million pounds of copper over a 5-year mine life.
Cash used in operating activities1 improved by $1.7 million to $3.9 million during Q3-2023 compared to cash used in operating activities of $5.6 million during Q3-2022 before changes in non-cash working capital items.
The Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $0.9 million and working capital1 deficit of $25.3 million as at September 30, 2023.

Q3-2023 continued to be challenging due to the decrease in base metals prices as investors adjusted capital flows and allocations in response to heightened recession expectations, inflationary impacts, general overall increased global interest rates, and the continuing conflict in the Ukraine, among other macroeconomic events. The market price of silver significantly increased by 23% quarter-to-quarter to average price of $23.57/oz in Q3-2023 compared to an average price of $19.22/oz in Q3-2022. However, the market price of zinc significantly decreased by 26% quarter-to-quarter to average price of $1.10/lb in Q3-2023 compared to an average price of $1.48/lb in Q3-2022. The Company is dependant on both precious and base metal prices for profitability and liquidity. In addition, the USD/MXN exchange ratio decreased during the period to a low of approximately 16.6:1 during Q3-2023 from over 20:1 during Q3-2022.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

Galena Complex

The Galena Complex produced approximately 348,500 ounces of silver and 3.1 million pounds of lead in Q3-2023, compared to approximately 242,000 ounces of silver (a 44% increase in silver production) and 3.5 million pounds of lead in Q3-2022 (a 13% decrease in lead production). The increase in silver production highlights the continuing benefit and further potential of increased production following completion of the Galena Recapitalization Plan. Production was negatively impacted early in the quarter by a planned 5-day electrical shutdown at the Galena Complex to allow necessary hoist switchgear upgrades. Towards the end of Q3-2023, the Galana Complex was unable to maintain targeted ore production due to unavailability of mine mobile equipment. The availability issue has been largely resolved and, while improvements were too late to positively impact Q3-2023 results, ore production in October has provided a strong start for the final quarter of 2023. Cash costs decreased to $22.91 per ounce silver in Q3-2023 from $28.51 per ounce silver in Q3-2022 with a similar decrease in all-in sustaining costs due to the increased silver production.

The Company began mining high-grade silver ore from the 3700 Level in mid-December 2022 and started development on the 4300 Level to access the Upper 360 Complex reserves area. The 4300 Level mining front will increase the number of producing stopes and boost production throughput to coincide with the completion of the Galena hoist project. The Galena hoist was operational by the end of Q2-2023. The Company is focused on finishing the remaining shaft repair work. The shaft was fully inspected with a LIDAR survey scan showing less than a few hundred feet of the shaft requiring more extensive repair. The Galena hoist will increase hoisting capacity at the Galena Complex, support plans to increase production and improve operational flexibility. Cash costs per ounce at the Galena Complex are also anticipated to decrease with the completion of the Galena hoist replacement as the benefits of economies of scale on the existing cost base with higher grade silver ore are realized.

Cosalá Operations

The Cosalá Operations produced approximately 177,500 ounces of silver, 9.0 million pounds of zinc and 2.8 million pounds of lead in Q3-2023, compared to approximately 186,000 ounces of silver, 9.4 million pounds of zinc, and 3.8 million pounds of lead in Q3-2022. Production during the quarter was negatively impacted by a cumulative 14 days of lost mill operating time due to heavy rainfall and tailings maintenance. Cash costs per silver ounce increased significantly in the quarter to $14.42 per ounce from $(4.43) per ounce in Q3-2022 due to the lower price of zinc (primarily) combined with lower base metal production, and the devaluation of the USD relative to the Mexican peso.

Production at the Cosalá Operations during YTD-2023 was impacted by a 17-day maintenance shutdown of the Cosalá Operations tailings facility in February in order to perform remedial work on a decant tunnel as part of the long-term environmental plan at the operations, and various mill outages totalling 14 days during Q3-2023 due to heavy rain and tailings work. The Cosalá Operations has accumulated an ore stockpile of approximately 25,000 tonnes since the beginning of the year. Further, mining has begun in the transition zone between the San Rafael Upper Zone and Zone 120 with approximately 10,000 tonnes mined to-date with an average grade in excess of 200 grams per tonne. The Company expects to realize an increase in silver production in the near term due the higher-grade silver areas in the Upper Zone and the transition zone.

El Cajón and Zone 120 Silver-Copper Deposits (“EC120”, “Project”)

With the current higher silver price and lower zinc price, the Company decided to expedite the development of its 100%-owned EC120 Project at the Cosalá Operations in late Q2-2023. Initial access to the Zone 120 deposit occurred in Q3-2023 from the San Rafael Upper Zone development and approximately 10,000 tonnes of high-grade material was stockpiled from the transition area between the deposits.

The Company has commenced discussions in Q4-2023 with interested metal traders to provide concentrate prepayment financing options for the capital requirements at the EC120 Project. The 2019 Preliminary Feasibility Study entitled “Americas Silver Corporation Technical Report on the San Rafael Mine and the EC120 Preliminary Feasibility Study, Sinaloa, Mexico” dated May 17, 2019 (with an effective date of April 3, 2019) (the “PFS”) capital estimate assumed a standalone project including initial access, development, and equipment (other than the Los Braceros mill). The current EC120 Project will take advantage of existing infrastructure, facilities, and equipment currently in use at the Cosalá Operation’s San Rafael Mine. Assuming the Company’s ability to bring to expected production, the EC120 Project is expected to provide significantly improved cash flow to the Company given the shared infrastructure, capital reductions, and the higher silver and copper prices which have improved since the date of the study.

Highlights of the standalone 2019 PFS are as follows:
Probable mineral reserve of approximately 2.9 million tonnes with a grade of 157g/t silver and 0.42% copper containing approximately 14.5 million ounces of silver and 26.5 million pounds of copper.
Average annual metal production of 2.5 million ounces of silver and 4.5 million pounds of copper with a total of over 12 million ounces of silver and 23.0 million pounds of copper over a mine life of approximately 5 years.
Pre-tax net present value with a 5% discount rate (“NPV5%”) of approximately $43 million and internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 61% or after-tax NPV5% of $33 million and IRR of 47% at long term consensus prices of $17.50 per ounce silver and $3.00 per pound copper.
Standalone initial capital expenditure of approximately $17 million with life of mine sustaining capital of approximately $15 million.
Life of mine cash costs of approximately $9.60 per silver ounce and average all-in sustaining costs of approximately $10.80 per silver ounce.
Processing is planned to take place at the existing Los Braceros facility to produce a silver-bearing copper concentrate with only minor modifications to the plant expected to be required.

The Company expects to have Board approval for proceeding with the development and capital expenditure budget required for the EC120 Project before the end of the year with financing available. The EC120 Project is expected to stockpile sliver-copper ore from the transition area and EC120 through the beginning of 2024 until mining rates can be increased to mill throughput capacity which is expected in Q3-2024. For further information on the EC120 Project, please visit the Technical Reports section of the Company’s website.

Relief Canyon Update

The Company is continuing efforts to resolve metallurgical challenges experienced at Relief Canyon. Relief Canyon suspended mining operations as of August 13, 2021 with approval by the Board of Directors. The Company continued leaching operations through Q3-2023 and continued working to improve recovery through ongoing technical studies and metallurgical test programs. These technical studies have not yet identified an economical path to resuming near-term production. The Company discontinued leaching and heap rinsing operations in Q4-2023. The Company will reassess the status of the operation as the results of these efforts (and others) become available and the results are evaluated.

Other Items During Fiscal 2023

On May 17, 2021, the Company announced it had entered into an at-the-market offering agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC, acting as the lead agent, and Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as agent, pursuant to which the Company established an at-the-market equity program for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $50.0 million. This agreement expired on February 28, 2023 and approximately 44.1 million common shares were sold pursuant to the ATM Agreement with an average price per common share of approximately $1.01 for gross proceeds of approximately $44.4 million.

The Company’s production guidance for 2023 remains unchanged but the Company expects to be at the lower end of both the consolidated attributable silver production range between 2.2 and 2.6 million ounces and consolidated attributable silver equivalent production range between 5.5 to 6 million ounces.

The Company anticipates consolidated silver equivalent production to further increase in 2024 benefitting from increased hoisting capacity following the completion of the Galena hoist and higher silver contribution from the Cosalá Operations. Consolidated silver equivalent production for 2024 is expected to range between 6.5 to 7 million ounces.

Throughout this MD&A, consolidated production results and consolidated operating metrics are based on the attributable ownership percentage of each operating segment (100% Cosalá Operations and 60% Galena Complex).
2
Throughout this MD&A, silver equivalent production was calculated based on all metals production at average realized silver, zinc, and lead prices during each respective period. 
3
This is a supplementary or non-GAAP financial measure or ratio. See “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” section for further information. 

Consolidated attributable silver production during Q3-2023 increased by 17% compared to the same period in Q3-2022. Consolidated attributable silver equivalent production during Q3-2023 decreased by 26% compared to Q3-2022. The reported silver equivalent production was impacted by higher silver prices and lower zinc prices in Q3-2023 compared to Q3-2022 as the Company uses realized quarterly prices in its calculations. These price changes negatively impacted the silver equivalent production calculation by approximately 0.3 million ounces in Q3-2023 relative to Q3-2022.

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

Despite the increase in silver production, YTD-2023 production was impacted by a 17-day maintenance shutdown of the Cosalá Operations tailings facility in February in order to perform remedial work on a decant tunnel as part of the long-term environmental plan at the operations, and various mill outages totalling 14 days during Q3-2023 due to heavy rain and tailings work. Production at the Galena Complex was negatively impacted early in Q3-2023 by a planned 5-day electrical shutdown at the Galena Complex to allow necessary hoist switchgear upgrades. Towards the end of Q3-2023, the Galana Complex was unable to maintain targeted ore production due to unavailability of mine mobile equipment. The availability issue has been largely resolved and, while improvements were too late to positively impact Q3-2023 results, October production has provided a strong start for the final quarter of 2023.

Revenue of $18.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was unchanged compared to revenue of $18.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Higher revenue from the Galena Complex was recognized from higher silver production during the period, offset by lower revenue from the Cosalá Operations due to lower zinc prices and lower base metal production. The average realized silver, zinc, and lead prices1 increased by 25%, decreased by 25%, and increased by 10%, respectively, from Q3-2022 to Q3-2023. The average realized silver price of $23.77/oz. for Q3-2023 (Q3-2022 – $19.07/oz.) is comparable to the average London silver spot price of $23.57/oz. for Q3-2023 (Q3-2022 – $19.22/oz.).

The Company recorded a net loss of $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $24.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to lower foreign exchange loss, and prior period’s recognition of an impairment to property, plant and equipment at Relief Canyon, offset in part by higher interest and financing expense. These variances are further discussed in the following sections.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

Production during the quarter was negatively impacted by a cumulative 14 days of lost mill operating time due to heavy rainfall and tailings maintenance. Cash costs per silver ounce increased significantly in the quarter to $14.42 per ounce from $(4.43) per ounce in Q3-2022 due to the lower price of zinc (primarily) combined with lower base metal production, and the devaluation of the USD relative to the Mexican peso, partially.

Production at the Cosalá Operations during YTD-2023 was impacted by a 17-day maintenance shutdown of the Cosalá Operations tailings facility in February in order to perform remedial work on a decant tunnel as part of the long-term environmental plan at the operations, and various mill outages totalling 14 days during Q3-2023 due to heavy rain and tailings work. The Cosalá Operations has accumulated an ore stockpile of approximately 25,000 tonnes since the beginning of the year. Further, mining has begun in the transition zone between the San Rafael Upper Zone and Zone 120 with approximately 10,000 tonnes mined to-date with an average grade in excess of 200 grams per tonne. The Company expects to realize an increase in silver production in the near term due the higher-grade silver areas in the Upper Zone and the transition zone.

This is a supplementary or non-GAAP financial measure or ratio. See “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” section for further information.

The Galena Complex increased silver production by 44% in Q3-2023, producing approximately 348,500 ounces of silver and 3.1 million pounds of lead. The increase in silver production highlights the continuing benefit and further potential of increased production following completion of the Galena Recapitalization Plan which includes rehabilitation of the Galena shaft. Production was negatively impacted early in the quarter by a planned 5-day electrical shutdown at the Galena Complex to allow necessary hoist switchgear upgrades. Towards the end of Q3-2023, the Galana Complex was unable to maintain targeted ore production due to unavailability of mine mobile equipment. The availability issue has been largely resolved and, while improvements were too late to positively impact Q3-2023 results, October production has provided a strong start for the final quarter of 2023. Cash costs decreased to $22.91 per ounce silver in Q3-2023 from $28.51 per ounce silver in Q3-2022 with a similar decrease in AISC due to the increase silver production.

The Company began mining high-grade silver ore from the 3700 Level in mid-December 2022 and started development on the 4300 Level to access the Upper 360 Complex reserves area. The 4300 Level mining front will increase the number of producing stopes and boost production throughput to coincide with the completion of the Galena hoist project.  The Company is focused on finishing the remaining shaft repair work. The shaft was fully inspected with a LIDAR survey scan showing less than a few hundred feet of the shaft requiring more extensive repair. The Galena hoist will increase hoisting capacity at the Galena Complex, support plans to increase production and improve operational flexibility. Cash costs per ounce at the Galena Complex are also anticipated to decrease with the completion of the Galena hoist replacement as the benefits of economies of scale on the existing cost base with higher grade silver ore are realized.

Results of Operations

Analysis of the three months ended September 30, 2023 vs. the three months ended September 30, 2022

The Company recorded a net loss of $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $24.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to lower foreign exchange loss ($1.9 million), and prior period’s recognition of an impairment to property, plant and equipment at Relief Canyon ($13.4 million), offset in part by higher interest and financing expense ($1.6 million), each of which are described in more detail below.

Interest and financing expense increased by $1.6 million mainly due to higher interest and financing expense recognized during the period through cash generated from financing activities.

Foreign exchange loss decreased by $1.9 million to a $0.5 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from a $2.4 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 mainly due to material changes in foreign exchange rates during the period impacting valuation of non-functional currency instruments from the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries.

Impairment to property, plant and equipment of $13.4 million was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2022 to Relief Canyon due to the assessment of an impairment indicator as previously noted.  There were no comparable impairments during Q3-2023.

Analysis of the nine months ended September 30, 2023 vs. the nine months ended September 30, 2022

The Company recorded a net loss of $28.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $34.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to lower foreign exchange loss ($3.5 million), and prior period’s recognition of an impairment to property, plant and equipment at Relief Canyon ($13.4 million), offset in part by higher cost of sales ($3.3 million), higher interest and financing expense ($3.6 million), and prior period’s gain on government loan forgiveness ($4.3 million), each of which are described in more detail below.

Cost of sales increased by $3.3 million to $56.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $53.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to $3.2 million and $2.0 million increase in cost of sales from the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex, respectively, due to increase in operating costs, primarily related to increases in employee costs and the USD/MXN exchange rate, offset in part by $2.0 million decrease in inventory net realizable value write-downs at Relief Canyon recognized during the period.

Interest and financing expense increased by $3.6 million mainly due to higher interest and financing expense recognized during the period through cash generated from financing activities.

Foreign exchange loss decreased by $3.5 million to a $0.1 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from a $3.6 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 mainly due to material changes in foreign exchange rates during the period impacting valuation of non-functional currency instruments from the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance decreased from $2.0 million to $0.9 million since December 31, 2022 with a working capital deficit of $25.3 million. This decrease was mainly due to expenditures of property, plant and equipment (including the Galena hoist project), and increased operating costs, offset by increases in cash from net proceeds received from the at-the-market offering, pre-payment facility, convertible debenture, metals contract liability, royalty payable, and contributions from non-controlling interests. Current liabilities as at September 30, 2023 were $43.9 million which is $1.8 million higher than at December 31, 2022, principally due to an increase balance in the metals contract liability and revolving pre-payment facility.

The Company operates in a cyclical industry where cash flow has historically been correlated to market prices for commodities. Several material uncertainties cast substantial doubt upon the going concern assumption, including cash flow positive production at the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex, and ability to raise additional funds as necessary to fund these operations and meet obligations as they come due. The Company’s cash flow is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, obtain adequate equity or debt financing, or, alternatively, dispose of its non-core properties on an advantageous basis to fund its near-term operations, development and exploration plans, while meeting production targets at current commodity price levels.

Management evaluates viable financing alternatives to ensure sufficient liquidity including debt instruments, concentrate offtake agreements, sale of non-core assets, private equity financing, sale of royalties on its properties, metal prepayment and streaming arrangements, and the issuance of equity. Several material uncertainties may impact the Company’s liquidity in the short term, such as: the price of commodities, general inflationary pressures, cash flow positive production at both the Company’s operating mines, the Galena Complex Recapitalization Plan, the timing of the shaft repair, and the expected increase in hoisting capacity. At September 30, 2023, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity on hand to fund its expected operations for the next twelve months and will require further financing to meet its financial obligations and execute on its planned operations. From 2020 to year-to-date 2023, the Company has been successful in raising funds through equity offerings (including at-the-market offerings), debt arrangements, convertible debentures, prepayment arrangements, royalty sales, and non-core asset sales. The Company issued an aggregate of $33.75 million CAD in convertible debentures, raised an aggregate of $44.4 million through an at-the-market equity offering on the New York Stock Exchange American to fund the Company’s planned operations, amended its existing precious metals delivery and purchase agreement for the right to increase its advance payment up to $11.0 million during fiscal 2023 to satisfy current gold delivery obligations with draws expected during each quarter of fiscal 2023 as allowed under the amendment, entered into a pre-payment facility, restructured a promissory note, and believes it will be able to raise additional financing as needed. In the longer term, as the Cosalá Operations sustain full production, the Galena hoist project and shaft repair are finalized on the currently anticipated timing and budget and the Galena Complex is optimized on our current plans, and the outlook for silver, zinc, copper, and lead prices remains positive, the Company believes that cash flow will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations. However, additional impairments to the carrying value of the Company’s mining interests and property and equipment may also be required depending on ongoing technical studies at Relief Canyon, or if precious and/or base metal prices decrease from their current levels.

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables, restricted cash, trade and other payables, and other long-term liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. The Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risk arising from financial instruments. The majority of the funds of the Company are held in accounts at major banks in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

The Company received confirmation via letters from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that $5.3 million in refunds were approved through the Employee Retention Credit from the U.S. CARES Act to assist with payroll and other expenses at the Galena Complex during the COVID-19 pandemic. A refund of $3.5 million was received in January 2023 with the remaining $1.8 million received in April 2023.

Post-Employment Benefit Obligations

The Company’s liquidity has been, and will continue to be, impacted by pension funding commitments as required by the terms of the defined benefit pension plans offered to both its hourly and salaried workers at the Galena Complex (see Note 14 in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022). Both pension plans are under-funded due to actuarial losses incurred from market conditions and changes in discount rates; the Company intends to fund to the minimum levels required by applicable law. The Company currently estimates total annual funding requirements for both Galena Complex pension plans to be approximately $0.9 million per year for each of the next 5 years (excluding fiscal 2022 funding requirements paid in January 2023), with approximately $0.4 million funded during fiscal 2023 (as of November 14, 2023). Effects from market volatility and interest rates may impact long term annual funding commitments.

The Company evaluates the pension funding status on an annual basis in order to update all material information in its assessment, including updated mortality rates, investment performance, discount rates, contribution status among other information. The pension valuation was remeasured at the end of Q3-2023 and adjusted by approximately $2.2 million as a result of unrealized gains on returns net of increases to interest rates set by central banks and governments globally. The Company expects to continue to review the pension valuation quarterly.

Capital Resources

The Company’s cash flow is dependent on delivery of its metal concentrates to market. The Company’s contracts with the concentrate purchasers provide for provisional payments based on timing of concentrate deliveries. The Company has not had any problems collecting payments from concentrate purchasers in a reliable and timely manner and expects no such difficulties in the foreseeable future. However, this cash flow is dependent on continued mine production which can be subject to interruption for various reasons including fluctuations in metal prices and concentrate shipment difficulties, and, in the case of Relief Canyon, the suspension of mining operations. Additionally, unforeseen cessation in the counterparty’s capabilities could severely impact the Company’s capital resources.

The Company made capital expenditures of $15.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (2022: $13.8 million). Money was spent on purchase of property, plant and equipment mostly associated with the Galena Complex Recapitalization Plan.

Risk Factors

The business of the Company is subject to a substantial number of risks and uncertainties. In addition to considering the information disclosed in the forward-looking statements, financial statements and the other publicly filed documentation regarding the Company available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, and on the Company’s website at www.americas-gold.com, the reader should carefully consider each of, and the cumulative effect of, the risk factors relating to the Company found under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 30, 2023 or the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2022 dated March 15, 2023. Any of these risk elements could have material adverse effects on the business of the Company. See note 24 – Financial risk management of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and note 20 – Financial risk management of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 contain going concern disclosure

The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 contain disclosure related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital, achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations, and obtain the necessary financing to meet obligations and repay liabilities when they become due. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals. If the Company is unable to achieve these goals, its ability to carry out and implement planned business objectives and strategies will be significantly delayed, limited or may not occur. These circumstances cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and ultimately on the appropriateness of the use of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. There are no guarantees that access to equity and debt capital from public and private markets in Canada or the U.S. will be available to the Company.

Accounting Standards and Pronouncements

Accounting standards issued but not yet applied

The Company adopted amendments to IAS 12 - Income Taxes requiring companies to recognize deferred tax on transactions that give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences on initial recognition. The amendments were effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.

Financial Instruments
The Company may, from time to time, employ derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

As at September 30, 2023, the Company does not have any non-hedge foreign exchange or commodity forward contracts outstanding.

Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR"), as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings ("NI 52109").

The Company’s DC&P are designed to ensure that all important information about the Company, including operating and financial activities, is communicated fully, accurately and in a timely way and that they provide the Company with assurance that the financial reporting is accurate.

ICFR means a process by or under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

As at September 30, 2023, the Company’s CEO and CFO have certified that the DC&P are effective and that during the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not make any material changes in the ICFR that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s ICFR.

The internal controls are not expected to prevent and detect all misstatements due to error or fraud.

Technical Information

The scientific and technical information relating to the operation of the Company’s material operating mining properties contained herein has been reviewed and approved by Chris McCann, P.Eng., Vice President, Technical Services of the Company. Mr. McCann is a "qualified person" for the purposes of NI 43-101.
 
The Company’s current Annual Information Form and the NI 43-101 Technical Reports for its other material mineral properties, all of which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, contain further details regarding mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, classification and reporting parameters, key assumptions and associated risks for each of the Company’s material mineral properties, including a breakdown by category.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial and other measures to supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, including the following:

average realized silver, zinc and lead prices;
cost of sales/Ag Eq oz produced;

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

Management uses these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, internally to better assess performance trends and understands that a number of investors, and others who follow the Company’s performance, also assess performance in this manner. These non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may differ from methods used by other companies with similar descriptions.  Management's determination of the components of non-GAAP financial measures and other financial measures are evaluated on a periodic basis influenced by new items and transactions, a review of investor uses and new regulations as applicable. Any changes to the measures are duly noted and retrospectively applied as applicable. Subtotals and per unit measures may not calculate based on amounts presented in the following tables due to rounding.

Average Realized Silver, Zinc and Lead Prices

The Company uses the financial measures "average realized silver price", "average realized zinc price” and “average realized lead price” because it understands that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance vis-à-vis average market prices of metals for the period. The presentation of average realized metal prices is not meant to be a substitute for the revenue information presented in accordance with IFRS, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with such IFRS measure.

Average realized metal prices represent the sale price of the underlying metal excluding unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on provisional pricing and concentrate treatment and refining charges. Average realized silver, zinc and lead prices are calculated as the revenue related to each of the metals sold, e.g. revenue from sales of silver divided by the quantity of ounces sold.

Throughout this MD&A, consolidated production results and consolidated operating metrics are based on the attributable ownership percentage of each operating segment (100% Cosalá Operations and 60% Galena Complex).

Cash Costs and Cash Costs/Ag Oz Produced

The Company uses the financial measures “Cash Costs” and “Cash Costs/Ag Oz Produced” in accordance with measures widely reported in the silver mining industry as a benchmark for performance measurement and because it understands that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s underlying cash costs of operations.

Cash costs are determined on a mine-by-mine basis and include mine site operating costs such as: mining, processing, administration, production taxes and royalties which are not based on sales or taxable income calculations. Non-cash costs consist of: non-cash related charges to cost of sales including inventory movements, write-downs to net realizable value of concentrates, ore stockpiles, and spare parts and supplies, and employee profit share accruals.

Throughout this MD&A, consolidated production results and consolidated operating metrics are based on the attributable ownership percentage of each operating segment (100% Cosalá Operations and 60% Galena Complex).

All-In Sustaining Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs/Ag Oz Produced

The Company uses the financial measures “All-In Sustaining Costs” and “All-In Sustaining Costs/Ag Oz Produced” in accordance with measures widely reported in the silver mining industry as a benchmark for performance measurement and because it understands that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s total costs of producing silver from operations.

All-in sustaining costs is cash costs plus all development, capital expenditures, and exploration spending, excluding costs related to the Galena Recapitalization Plan implementation.
