Americas Gold and Silver Corporation

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated, unaudited)

 

 

1.

Corporate information

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on May 12, 1998 and conducts mining exploration, development and production in the Americas. The address of the Company’s registered office is 145 King Street West, Suite 2870, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 1J8. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “USA” and on the New York Stock Exchange American under the symbol “USAS”.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 14, 2020.

 

2.

Basis of presentation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) which the Canadian Accounting Standards Board has approved for incorporation into Part 1 of the Handbook of Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were summarized in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis.

 

3.

Changes in accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements

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.

 

4.

Significant accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Despite the increase in gold and silver prices, there are uncertainties related to the timing and use of the Company’s cash resources because of the illegal blockade at the Cosalá Operations and ongoing ramp up at the Relief Canyon Mine. As a result, the Company does not currently generate sufficient short-term operating cash flow to fund capital expenditures to take its mines to commercial production and therefore, is required to access capital markets or enter into other transactions including financing with strategic shareholders from time to time. Failure to obtain adequate financing on satisfactory terms could have a material adverse effect to the Company’s results of operations or its financial condition. The Company has considered the above factors, in addition to its ability to further reduce expenditures if necessary, in assessing and concluding on its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has been closely monitoring developments in the COVID-19 outbreak declared as a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. Preventive measures to ensure the safety of the Company’s workforce and local communities have been implemented and there have been no outbreaks of COVID-19 at any of the Company’s operations to date. All of the Company’s mining and corporate operations continue to operate with the exception of mining operations in Cosalá halted by illegal blockade. The Company continues to manage and respond to COVID-19 to mitigate and minimize potential impacts of this global pandemic, in addition to other uncertainties, such as the price of commodities, gold recovery from Relief Canyon Mine, and illegal blockade at the Cosalá Operations.

As at January 1, 2019, the Company recognized $0.9 million of right-of-use assets from leases upon adoption of IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, where $0.1 million were from the Cosalá Operations, $0.3 million were from the Galena Complex, and $0.5 million were from Corporate and Other. The associated lease liabilities were classified into trade and other payables and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

On March 2, 2017, the Company entered into an option acquisition agreement with Impulsora Minera Santacruz S.A. de C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (“Santacruz”), to acquire an existing option with Minera Hochschild Mexico S.A. de C.V. (“Hochschild”) for the right to acquire a 100% interest of the San Felipe property located in Sonora, Mexico. As at December 31, 2018, the property purchase option was reclassified as an asset held-for-sale as its carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale. A write-down of $3.7 million was recorded for the year-ended December 31, 2018 to measure the asset held-for-sale at the lower of its carrying amount of $10.6 million and fair value less estimated costs to sell of $6.9 million. The Company made three of the

remaining eight contractual quarterly option payments of $0.75 million to Hochschild during the year ended December 31, 2019. As at December 31, 2019, the property purchase option was reclassified to property, plant and equipment as its carrying amount of $9.3 million will be recovered principally through continuing use. On July 9, 2020, the Company has agreed with Hochschild to settle its remaining contractual option payments through issuance of the Company’s common shares to acquire the 100% interest of the San Felipe property (see Note 23).

Non-current assets are tested for impairment or impairment reversals when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairment or impairment reversal were identified for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

The Company recognized a gain of approximately $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 related to proceeds received through the sale of plant and equipment.

The amount of borrowing costs capitalized as property, plant and equipment was $0.7 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 (2019: $0.1 million) and $1.4 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 (2019: $0.1 million).

The carrying amount of property and equipment from the developing Relief Canyon Mine is approximately $37.4 million as at June 30, 2020.

Deferred revenue

On April 3, 2019, the Company entered into a $25 million precious metals delivery and purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) for the construction and development of Pershing Gold’s Relief Canyon Mine. The Purchase Agreement consists of a combination of fixed and variable deliveries from the Relief Canyon Mine. The Purchase Agreement has a repurchase option for the Company exercisable at any time to reduce the variable deliveries to Sandstorm from 4% to 2% by delivering 4,000 ounces of gold plus additional ounces of gold compounded annually at 10%. On initial recognition and as at June 30, 2020, the fair value of the repurchase option was nil.

On January 16, 2020, the Company entered into a $5 million precious metals delivery and purchase agreement with Macquarie Bank Ltd. (“Macquarie”) for working capital purposes at the Relief Canyon Mine. The $5 million advance was amended to be settled through monthly fixed cash payments totaling $7.2 million payable over a 6 month period commencing October 2020 (see Note 23).

The Company recorded the advances received on precious metals delivery, net of transaction costs, as deferred revenue and will recognize the amounts in revenue as performance obligations to metals delivery are satisfied over the term of the metals delivery and purchase agreements. The advances received on precious metals delivery is expected to reduce to nil through deliveries of the Company’s own production to Sandstorm and Macquarie. The Company determined the amortization of deferred revenue on a per unit basis to be equal to the expected total deliveries of gold ounces over the term of the precious metals delivery and purchase agreements.

Interest expense of $0.5 million was capitalized as borrowing costs to property, plant and equipment during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 (2019: nil) and $1.1 million (2019: nil) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 in connection with the accretion of a significant financing component determined from the advances received on precious metals delivery.

Convertible debenture

On April 3, 2019, the Company issued a $10 million convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”) to Sandstorm due April 3, 2023 with interest payable at 6% per annum and repayable at the Company’s option prior to maturity. The funds available under the Convertible Debenture included the principal amount of the $3 million unsecured, promissory note previously issued to Sandstorm by the Company.

The Convertible Debenture may be converted into common shares of the Company at Sandstorm’s option at a conversion price of $2.14 and may be prepaid at the Company’s option at any time prior to the maturity date. The Company recorded a net derivative liability of nil on initial recognition based on the estimated fair value of the conversion and prepayment option and recognized a loss of $1.9 million in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 (2019: loss of $1.6 million) and a gain of $2.1 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 (2019: loss of $1.6 million) as a result of the change in the estimated fair value of the conversion and prepayment option.

Interest expense of $0.2 million was capitalized as borrowing costs to property, plant and equipment for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 (2019: $0.1 million), and $0.3 million (2019: $0.1 million) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 in connection with the Convertible Debenture.

The initial fair value of the principal portion of the Convertible Debenture was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument at the issue date. The principal portion is subsequently recognized on an amortized cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option.

Glencore pre-payment facility

On January 29, 2017, the Company entered into a pre-payment facility for $15.0 million with Metagri S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of Glencore PLC (“Glencore”), to fund a portion of the development costs for the San Rafael project within the Cosalá district of Sinaloa, Mexico (the “Pre-Payment Facility”). The Pre-Payment Facility was drawn in full on March 30, 2017, has a term of four years at an interest of U.S. LIBOR rate plus 5% per annum, and is secured by a promissory note in the amount of up to $15.0 million issued by the Company, a corporate guarantee in favour of Glencore, and limited asset level security on the San Rafael project. The Company has also entered into four-year offtake agreements with Glencore for the zinc and lead concentrates produced from the San Rafael Mine where Glencore will pay for the concentrates at the prevailing market prices for silver, zinc and lead, less customary treatment, refining and penalty charges. Repayment of principal on the Pre-Payment Facility began in January 2018 as an additional tonnage charge on shipments of concentrate where $3.9 million and $5.5 million were paid during the year ended December 31, 2018, and 2019, respectively. The Company paid $1.5 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

 

12.

Government loan

On May 11, 2020, the Company received approximately $4.5 million in loan through the Paycheck Protection Program from the U.S. CARES Act (the “Government Loan”) to assist with payroll and other expenses at the Galena Complex during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Government Loan has a term of two years at an interest rate of 1% per annum and may be forgiven if proceeds are used for payroll and other specifically defined expenses and employee and compensation levels are maintained. The Government Loan will be recognized as a reduction of related payroll and other expenses incurred once forgiveness is reasonably assured.

 

13.

Share capital

On April 3, 2019, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Sandstorm to issue $10 million CAD of the Company’s common shares based on the 5-day volume weighted average price at approximately $2.09 CAD per share, resulting in the issuance of 4,784,689 of the Company’s common shares.

On July 26, 2019, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement with Mr. Eric Sprott for gross proceeds of $10 million through issuance of 3,955,454 of the Company’s common shares priced at approximately $3.30 CAD per share. As part of the non-brokered private placement, $0.4 million in transaction costs was incurred and 118,664 warrants were issued to the Company’s advisor where each warrant is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $3.37 CAD for a period of three years starting July 25, 2019.

e. Restricted Share Units:

The Company has a Restricted Share Unit Plan under which eligible directors, officers and key employees of the Company are entitled to receive awards of restricted share units. Each restricted share unit is equivalent in value to the fair market value of a common share of the Company on the date of grant with the value of each cash settled award charged to compensation expense over the period of vesting. At each reporting date, the compensation expense and associated liability (which is included in trade and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position) are adjusted to reflect changes in market value. As at June 30, 2020, 276,762 (December 31, 2019: 89,196) restricted share units are outstanding at an aggregate value of $0.7 million (December 31, 2019: $0.3 million).

f. Deferred Share Units:

The Company has a Deferred Share Unit Plan under which eligible directors of the Company receive awards of deferred share units on a quarterly basis as payment for 20% to 100% of their director fees earned. Deferred share units are settled in either cash or common shares at the Company’s discretion when the director leaves the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company recognizes a cost in director fees and a corresponding increase in equity reserve upon issuance of deferred share units. As at June 30, 2020, 435,116 (December 31, 2019: 323,333) deferred share units are issued and outstanding.

15. Non-controlling interests

The Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Mr. Eric Sprott effective October 1, 2019 for 40% non-controlling interest of the Company’s Galena Complex with initial contribution of $15 million to fund capital improvements and operations. Mr. Eric Sprott committed to contributing additional funds to support the ongoing operations alongside the Company in proportion of their respective ownership up to $5 million for the first year of operations with the Company contributing any potential excess as necessary. After the first year, contributions revert to the proportional percentage of ownership interests to fund capital projects and operations.

The Company recognized non-controlling interests of $14.3 million equal to the proportionate non-controlling interests’ carrying amount of the Galena Complex at initial recognition classified as a separate component of equity. Subsequent contributions and proportionate share changes in equity are recognized to the carrying amount of the non-controlling interests.

20. Financial risk management

a. Financial risk factors

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on its financial instruments are summarized below:

(i) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the Company invests its cash in deposits with well-capitalized financial institutions with strong credit ratings in Canada and the United States. Under current concentrate offtake agreements, risk on trade receivables related to concentrate sales is managed by receiving payments for 85% to 100% of the estimated value of the concentrate within one month following the time of shipment.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s exposure to credit risk with respect to trade receivables amounts to $1.4 million (December 31, 2019: $4.6 million). The Company believes credit risk for Mexican Value Added Taxes of $0.6 million (December 31, 2019: $0.6 million) is not significant as they relate to current amounts receivable from Mexican taxation authorities. There is no significant provision recorded for expected credit losses at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company’s liquidity requirements are expected to be met through a variety of sources, including cash, cash generated from operations (including Relief Canyon Mine upon reaching commercial production), credit facilities, and debt and equity capital markets. The Company’s trade payables have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

(iii)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk.

(1) Interest rate risk

The Company is subject to the interest rate risk of U.S. LIBOR rate plus 5% per annum from the existing Pre-Payment Facility. Interest rates of other financial instruments are fixed.

(2) Currency risk

As at June 30, 2020, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through financial assets and liabilities denominated in CAD and Mexican pesos (“MXP”):

Financial instruments that may impact the Company’s net loss or other comprehensive loss due to currency fluctuations include CAD and MXP denominated assets and liabilities which are included in the following table:

As at June 30, 2020, the CAD/USD and MXP/USD exchange rates were 1.36 and 22.97, respectively. The sensitivity of the Company’s net loss and comprehensive loss due to changes in the exchange rates for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 is included in the following table:

   $ 376      $ 414  

Other comprehensive loss

     24        (71

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

As at June 30, 2020, the Company does not have any non-hedge foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding (2019: 96.0 million MXP at average exchange rate of 20.00 MXP/USD with unrealized gain of nil recorded during the six-month period). During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company settled non-hedge foreign exchange forward contracts to buy approximately 26.0 million MXP (2019: 120.0 million MXP) and recorded a realized gain of nil through profit or loss (2019: realized gain of $0.4 million).

(3) Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments in the market. As at June 30, 2020, the Company had certain amounts related to the sales of concentrates that have only been provisionally priced. A ±10% fluctuation in silver, zinc, lead, copper and gold prices would affect trade receivables by approximately $0.1 million.

As at June 30, 2020, the Company does not have any non-hedge commodity forward contracts outstanding (2019: 10.9 million pounds of zinc at $1.22 per pound with unrealized gain of $0.8 million recorded during the six-month period). During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company settled non-hedge commodity forward contracts for approximately 1.6 million and 3.3 million pounds of pounds of zinc and lead, respectively, (2019: 1.4 million pounds of zinc) and recorded a realized gain of nil through profit or loss (2019: realized loss of $ 0.1 million).

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated, unaudited)

 

 

Net amount of gain or loss on derivative instruments from non-hedge foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts recognized through profit or loss during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was nil (2019: gain of $1.1 million). Total amount of gain or loss on derivative instruments including those recognized through profit or loss from the Company’s Convertible Debenture during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was gain of $2.1 million (2019: loss of $0.6 million).

b. Fair values

The fair value of cash, restricted cash, trade and other payables, and other long-term liabilities approximate their carrying amounts. The methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of other financial assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

   

Cash and cash equivalents: The fair value of cash equivalents is valued using quoted market prices in active markets. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market accounts held at financial institutions which have original maturities of less than 90 days.

 

   

Trade and other receivables: The fair value of trade receivables from silver sales contracts that contain provisional pricing terms is determined using the appropriate quoted forward price from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular metal. As such, there is an embedded derivative feature within trade receivables.

 

   

Convertible debenture: The principal portion of the Convertible Debenture is carried at amortized cost.

 

   

Embedded derivatives: Revenues from the sale of metals produced since the commencement of commercial production are based on provisional prices at the time of shipment. Variations between the price recorded at the time of sale and the actual final price received from the customer are caused by changes in market prices for metals sold and result in an embedded derivative in revenues and accounts receivable.

 

   

Derivatives: The Company uses derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage financial risks, including commodity, interest rate, and foreign exchange risks. The use of derivative contracts is governed by documented risk management policies and approved limits. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and at market prices at the valuation date.

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 (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means.

 

   

Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

c. Major customers

The Company sold concentrates to one customer during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 (2019: one customer) accounting for 100% (2019: 100%) of revenues.

22. Contingencies

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

In November 2010, the Company received a reassessment from the Mexican tax authorities related to its Mexican subsidiary, Minera Cosalá, for the year ended December 31, 2007. The tax authorities disallowed the deduction of transactions with certain suppliers for an amount of approximately $8.6 million (MXP 196.8 million), of which $3.7 million (MXP 84.4 million) would be applied against available tax losses. The Company appealed this reassessment and the Mexican tax authorities subsequently reversed $4.1 million (MXP 94.6 million) of their original reassessment. The remaining $4.4 million (MXP 102.2 million) consists of $3.7 million (MXP 84.4 million) related to transactions with certain suppliers and $0.8 million (MXP 17.8 million) of value added taxes thereon. The Company appealed the remaining reassessment with the Mexican Tax Court in December 2011. The Company may be required to post a bond of approximately $0.8 million (MXP 17.8 million) to secure the value added tax portion of the reassessment. The deductions of $3.7 million (MXP 84.4 million), if denied, would be offset by available tax losses. The Company accrued $0.9 million (MXP 19.9 million) in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2018 as a probable obligation for the disallowance of value added taxes related to the Mexican tax reassessment.

23. Subsequent events

On July 9, 2020, the Company completed the outstanding option acquisition agreement to acquire a 100% interest of the San Felipe property with Hochschild where the Company has agreed to issue to Hochschild 1,687,401 of the Company’s common shares with a value equal to the outstanding payment of $3.75 million plus VAT using the 5-day volume-weighted average price on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of the date of the parties’ agreement, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

On July 31, 2020, the Company amended the $5 million precious metals delivery and purchase agreement with Macquarie which was to be settled through monthly fixed deliveries commencing July 31, 2020 of gold production ounces from the Relief Canyon Mine to monthly fixed cash payments totaling $7.2 million payable over a 6 month period commencing October 2020, among other terms. The Company also entered into gold collar options over the same period as the fixed cash payments.
