CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain of the statements and information in this document constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States "Private Securities Litigation Reform Act" of 1995 and “forward-looking information” within Canadian securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, addressing activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the words “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “likely”, “plans”, “intends”, “expects”, “may”, “forecast”, “project”, “budgets”, “potential”, and “outlook”, or similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions “may”, “might”, “could”, “can”, “would”, or “will” occur. Forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations and assumptions, and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In particular, this Annual Report on Form 40-F includes forward-looking statements as noted throughout the document. These relate to estimates, forecasts, and statements as to management’s expectations, opinions and assumptions with respect to the future production of gold, silver lead and zinc; profit, operating costs and cash flows; grade improvements; sales volume and selling prices of products; capital and exploration expenditures, plans, timing, progress, and expectations for the development of the Company’s mines and projects; the timing of production and the cash and total costs of production; sensitivity of earnings to changes in commodity prices and exchange rates; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates; expenditures to increase or determine reserves and resources; sufficiency of available capital resources; title to claims; expansion and acquisition plans; and the future plans and expectations for the Company’s properties and operations. Examples of specific information in this Annual Report on Form 40-F that may constitute forward-looking statements are:

· Expectations that the Company’s operations will not be impacted by government or industry measures to control the spread of COVID-19;

· Estimates made by management in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements relating to the assessments of provisions for loss and contingent liabilities relating to legal proceedings and the estimation of the carrying value of the Company’s mineral properties;

· Expectations in respect of permitting and development activities; and

· Expectations that metallurgical, environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, political, marketing or other issues will not materially affect the Company’s estimates or mineral reserves and mineral resources or its future mining plans.

These forward-looking statements and information reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant operational, business, economic and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies. These assumptions include: the accuracy of the Company’s mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates and the assumptions upon which they are based; ore grades and recoveries; prices for silver, gold, and base metals remaining as estimated; currency exchange rates remaining as estimated; capital, decommissioning and reclamation estimates; prices for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including transportation); all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals for the Company’s operations are received in a timely manner, including the permit for the Phase III Topia tailings storage facility; the Topia Phase II tailings storage facility can be remediated as planned; the Company’s ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws; management’s estimates in connection with the assessment of provisions for loss and contingent liabilities relating to legal proceedings may differ materially from the ultimate loss or damages incurred by the Company; the Company’s inability to meet its production forecasts or to generate the anticipated cash flows from operations in 2020 could result in the Company’s inability to meet its scheduled debt payments when due; management’s estimates regarding the carrying value of the its mineral properties may be subject to change in future financial periods, which may result in further write-downs and consequential impairment loss; the accuracy of the information included or implied in the various published technical reports; the geological, operational and price assumptions on which these technical reports are based; conditions in the financial markets; the ability to attract and retain skilled staff; the ability to procure equipment and operating supplies and that there are no material unanticipated variations in the cost of energy or supplies; the ability to secure contracts for the sale of the Company’s products (metals concentrates and gold dore); the execution and outcome of current or future exploration activities; the ability to obtain adequate financing for planned activities and to complete further exploration programs; the possibility of project delays and cost overruns, or unanticipated excessive operating cost and expenses, the Company’s ability to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures; the ability of contractors to perform their contractual obligations; and operations not being disrupted by issues such as mechanical failures, labour disturbances, illegal occupations or mining, seismic events, and adverse weather conditions.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements to be materially different. Such factors include, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to: the inherent risk that estimates of mineral reserves and resources may not be accurate and accordingly that mine production will not be as estimated or predicted; gold, silver and base metal prices may decline or may be less than forecasted; fluctuations in currency exchange rates (including the U.S. dollar to Brazilian real exchange rate) may increase costs of operations; operational and physical risks inherent in mining operations (including pit wall collapses, tailings storage facility failures, environmental accidents and hazards, industrial accidents, equipment breakdown, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, cave-ins, flooding and severe weather) may result in unforeseen costs, shut downs, delays in production and exposure to liability; planned exploration activities may not result in conversion of existing mineral resources into mineral reserves or discovery of new mineral resources; potential political and social risks involving Great Panther’s operations in a foreign jurisdiction; the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; employee relations; relationships with, and claims by, local communities and indigenous populations; the Company’s ability to obtain all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals in a timely manner; changes in laws, regulations and government practices in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; legal restrictions related to mining; the inability to remediate the UCS pit at the Tucano Gold Mine and the Topia tailings storage facility as planned; diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; acts of foreign governments; political risk; labour or social unrest; uncertainties related to title to the Company’s mineral properties and the surface rights thereon, including the Company’s ability to acquire, or economically acquire, the surface rights to certain of the Company’s exploration and development projects; unanticipated operational difficulties due to adverse weather conditions, failure of plant or mine equipment and unanticipated events related to health, safety, and environmental matters; failure of counterparties to perform their contractual obligations; uncertainty of Mineral Resource estimates; deterioration of general economic conditions; the Company’s ability to operate as anticipated; and the Company’s ability to appropriately capitalize and finance its operations, and other risks and uncertainties, including those described in respect of Great Panther in its AIF for the year ended December 31, 2019 and material change reports filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators available at www.sedar.com and reports on Form 40-F and Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements or information. Forward-looking statements or information are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements or information.

Readers are advised to carefully review and consider the risk factors identified in the Company’s AIF for the year ended December 31, 2019 under the heading “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to be materially different from any anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. It is recommended that prospective investors consult the more complete discussion of the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects that is included in this Annual Report on Form 40-F.

The Company’s forward-looking statements and information are based on the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and opinions of management as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 40-F. The Company will update forward-looking statements and information if and when, and to the extent, required by applicable securities laws. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements and information contained herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS CONCERNING
ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES

As a British Columbia corporation and a “reporting issuer” under Canadian securities laws, the Company is required to provide disclosure regarding its mineral properties in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. In accordance with NI 43-101, the Company uses the terms Mineral Reserves and Resources as they are defined in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Reserves and Resources (the “CIM Definition Standards”) adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum.

The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the U.S. Exchange Act. These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”). The SEC Modernization Rules have replaced the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7 (“Guide 7”), which have been rescinded. The Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules as the Company is presently a “foreign issuer” under the U.S. Exchange Act and entitled to file continuous disclosure reports with the SEC under the MJDS Disclosure System between Canada and the United States.

The SEC Modernization Rules include the adoption of terms describing Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources that are substantially similar to the corresponding terms under the CIM Definition Standards. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, SEC will now recognize estimates of Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of Proven Mineral Reserves and Probable Mineral Reserves to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definitions.

United States investors are cautioned that while the above terms are substantially similar to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any Mineral Reserves or Mineral Resources that the Company may report as Proven Reserves, Probable Reserves, Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.

United States investors are also cautioned that while the SEC will now recognize Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources, investors should not to assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of Mineral Resources or into Mineral Reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources, or Inferred Mineral Resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable.

Further, Inferred Mineral Resources have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the Inferred Mineral Resources exist. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.

For the above reasons, information contained in this Annual Report and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS REGARDING DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES

The Company is permitted to prepare this Annual Report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which differ in certain respects from United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and from practices prescribed by the SEC. Therefore, the Company’s financial statements incorporated by reference in this Annual Report may not be comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

CURRENCY

Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this Annual Report are in United States dollars. The exchange rate of United States dollars into Canadian dollars on December 31, 2019 (the last business day of the year), based upon the closing rate published by the Bank of Canada, was US$1.00=CDN$1.2988. The exchange rate of United States dollars into Canadian dollars, on March 30, 2020, based upon the closing rate as published by the Bank of Canada, was US$1.00=CDN$1.4156.  

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act to mean controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F, being the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s management (“Management”), including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act is:

· recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and

· accumulated and communicated to Management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

· pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

· provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

· provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that may have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to Management and the board of directors (“Board of Directors”) regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation, Management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.

The Company acquired Beadell Resources Limited (“Beadell”) (the “Acquisition”) during 2019, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, Beadell’s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $178,575 and total revenues of $149,390 included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that Management fulfills its responsibilities. The Company’ audit committee (“Audit Committee”) fulfills its role of ensuring the integrity of the reported information through its review of the interim and annual financial statements. Management reviewed the results of their assessment with the Company’s Audit Committee.

Attestation Report

KPMG LLP has audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which is included with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements which are attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F. KPMG LLP also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Beadell in their audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company as of December 31, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.

For accounting purposes, the Acquisition was completed on March 5, 2019. As permitted by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and applicable SEC and Canadian Securities Commission rules related to business acquisitions, the Company excluded Tucano from its annual assessment of internal controls over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2019.

NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR

The Company did not send any notices required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR during the year ended December 31, 2019 concerning any equity security subject to a blackout period under Rule 101 of Regulation BTR.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company is subject to corporate governance requirements prescribed under applicable Canadian securities laws, rules and policies. The Company is also subject to corporate governance requirements prescribed by the listing standards of the NYSE AMERICAN, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act (including those applicable rules and regulations mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002).

Section 110 of the NYSE AMERICAN Company Guide permits NYSE AMERICAN to consider the laws, customs and practices of foreign issuers in relaxing certain NYSE AMERICAN listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from NYSE AMERICAN listing criteria based on these considerations. A company seeking relief under these provisions is required to provide written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by home country law.

Section 123 of the NYSE AMERICAN Company Guide recommends that the quorum for meetings of shareholders of a listed company be not less than 33-1/3% of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders. Upon listing, the Company received an exemption from this listing standard. The Company’s quorum requirement is specified in its corporate charter as two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders.

Section 713 of the NYSE AMERICAN Company Guide requires that the Company obtain the approval of its shareholders for share issuances equal to 20 percent or more of presently outstanding shares for a price which is less than the greater of book or market value of the shares. This requirement does not apply to public offerings. There are no such requirements under British Columbia corporate law. However, under the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), the Company’s home stock exchange, shareholder approval is required for certain issuances of shares that (i) materially affect control of the Company, or (ii) provide consideration to insiders in aggregate of 10% or greater of the market capitalization of the Company in transactions that have not been negotiated at arm’s length.  Shareholder approval is also required under TSX rules for private placements in circumstances where (i) the aggregate number of listed securities issuable is greater than 25% of the number of securities of the listed issuer which are outstanding, on a non-diluted basis, prior to the date of closing of the transaction if the price per security is less than the market price, and (ii) there are issuances during any six month period to insiders for listed securities or options, rights or other entitlements to listed securities greater than 10% of the number of securities of the listed issuer which are outstanding, on a non-diluted basis, prior to the date of the closing of the first private placement to an insider during the six month period. The Company intends to seek a waiver from NYSE AMERICAN’s section 713 requirements should a dilutive private placement financing trigger the NYSE AMERICAN shareholders’ approval requirement in circumstances where the same financing does not trigger such a requirement under British Columbia law or under TSX rules.

The Company believes that there are otherwise no significant differences between its corporate governance policies and those required to be followed by United States domestic issuers listed on the NYSE AMERICAN. In particular, in addition to having a separate Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors has established a separately-designated Compensation Committee that materially meets the requirements for a compensation committee under section 805 of the NYSE AMERICAN Company Guide, as currently in force.

Copies of the Company’s corporate governance materials are available on the Company’s website at www.greatpanther.com (under the Corporate/Governance/Governance and Policies tab). In addition, the Company is required by National Instrument 58-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, to describe its practices and policies with regard to corporate governance in management information circulars that are furnished to the Company’s shareholders in connection with annual meetings of shareholders.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Composition of the Audit Committee

The Company's Board of Directors has a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act and Section 803(B)(2) of the NYSE AMERICAN Company Guide. The Company's Audit Committee comprises three directors that the Board of Directors have determined are independent as determined under each of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Section 803(A) of the "NYSE American" Company Guide:

· Elise Rees (Chair)

· R. W. (Bob) Garnett

· John Jennings

All three members of the Audit Committee are financially literate, meaning they are able to read and understand the Company's financial statements and to understand the breadth and level of complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements. The Audit Committee meets the composition requirements set forth by Section 803(B)(2) of NYSE AMERICAN Company Guide.

Audit Committee Charter

The full text of the Charter of the Audit Committee is attached as Schedule A to the Company's Annual Information Form which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report. The Charter of the Audit Committee is also available on the Company’s website at www.greatpanther.com (under the links Corporate > Corporate Governance and Policies).

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that both Elise Rees and Bob Garnett, are audit committee financial experts (as that term is defined in General Instruction B(8) of Form 40-F).

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

Adoption of Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) for all its directors, executive officers and employees. The Code of Ethics materially complies with Section 807 of the NYSE AMERICAN Company Guide. The Code of Ethics meets the requirements for a “code of ethics” within the meaning of that term in Form 40-F. The text of the Code of Ethics is posted on the Company's website at www.greatpanther.com (under the links Corporate > Corporate Governance and Policies).

Amendments or Waivers

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the Company did not substantively amend, waive or implicitly waive any provision of the Code of Ethics with respect to any of the directors, executive officers or employees subject to it.

To the extent that the Company's board or a board committee determines to grant any waiver of the Code of Ethics for an executive officer or director, the commentary to Section 807 of the NYSE AMERICAN Company Guide requires that the waiver must be disclosed to shareholders within four business days of such determination.

All amendments to the Code of Ethics, and all waivers of the Code of Ethics with respect to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or other persons performing similar functions, will be posted on the Company’s website, submitted to the SEC on Form 6-K and provided in print to any shareholder that provides the Company with a written request addressed to the Company’s Corporate Secretary.

1.	PRELIMINARY NOTES
1.A.	DATE OF INFORMATION

Unless otherwise identified, all information contained in this Annual Information Form (“AIF”) is as at December 31, 2019.

1.B. NOMENCLATURE

In this AIF, unless the context otherwise dictates, “Great Panther” or the “Company” refers to Great Panther Mining Limited, and its subsidiaries, as detailed in Section 2.B. Intercorporate Relationships. 

1.C. CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain of the statements and information in this AIF constitute “forward-looking statements” the United States "Private Securities Litigation Reform Act" of 1995 and “forward-looking information” within Canadian securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, addressing activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the words “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “likely”, “plans” and similar words. Forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations and assumptions, and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In particular, this AIF includes forward-looking statements as noted throughout the document. These relate to estimates, forecasts, and statements as to management’s expectations, opinions and assumptions with respect to the future production of gold, silver lead and zinc; profit, operating costs and cash flows; grade improvements; sales volume and selling prices of products; capital and exploration expenditures, plans, timing, progress, and expectations for the development of the Company’s mines and projects; the timing of production and the cash and total costs of production; sensitivity of earnings to changes in commodity prices and exchange rates; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates; expenditures to increase or determine reserves and resources; sufficiency of available capital resources; title to claims; expansion and acquisition plans; and the future plans and expectations for the Company’s properties and operations. Examples of specific information in this AIF that may constitute forward-looking statements are:

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 4

Regarding general corporate matters:

• Guidance for production, cash cost, all-in sustaining cost, capital expenditures and other expenditures for 2020 in respect of the individual mines;

• Expectations that along with its cash flows generated from mining activities, and its current cash and other net working capital, including cash raised from equity and debt financing and the at-the-market facility, that it will have sufficient capital resources in the next twelve months to fund capital investments and projects and to repay indebtedness;

• Expectations that the Company’s operations will not be impacted by government or industry measures to control the spread of Covid-19;

• Estimates made by management in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements relating to the assessments of provisions for loss and contingent liabilities relating to legal proceedings and the estimation of the carrying value of the Company’s mineral properties;

• Expectations in respect of permitting and development activities; and

• Expectations that metallurgical, environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, political, marketing or other issues will not materially affect the Company’s estimates or mineral reserves and mineral resources or its future mining plans.

These forward-looking statements and information reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant operational, business, economic and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies. These assumptions include: the accuracy of the Company’s mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates and the assumptions upon which they are based; ore grades and recoveries; prices for silver, gold, and base metals remaining as estimated; currency exchange rates remaining as estimated; capital, decommissioning and reclamation estimates; prices for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including transportation); all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals for the Company’s operations are received in a timely manner, including the permit for the Phase III Topia tailings storage facility; the Topia Phase II tailings storage facility can be remediated as planned and the Company’s ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws; management’s estimates in connection with the assessment of provisions for loss and contingent liabilities relating to legal proceedings may differ materially from the ultimate loss or damages incurred by the Company; the Company’s inability to meet its production forecasts or to generate the anticipated cash flows from operations in 2020 could result in the Company’s inability to meet its scheduled debt payments when due; management’s estimates regarding the carrying value of the its mineral properties may be subject to change in future financial periods, which may result in further write-downs and consequential impairment loss; the accuracy of the information included or implied in the various published technical reports; the geological, operational and price assumptions on which these technical reports are based; conditions in the financial markets; the ability to attract and retain skilled staff; the ability to procure equipment and operating supplies and that there are no material unanticipated variations in the cost of energy or supplies; the ability to secure contracts for the sale of the Company’s products (metals concentrates and gold doré); the execution and outcome of current or future exploration activities; the ability to obtain adequate financing for planned activities and to complete further exploration programs; the possibility of project delays and cost overruns, or unanticipated excessive operating cost and expenses, the Company’s ability to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures; the ability of contractors to perform their contractual obligations; and operations not being disrupted by issues such as mechanical failures, labour disturbances, illegal occupations or mining, seismic events, and adverse weather conditions.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements to be materially different. Such factors include, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to: the inherent risk that estimates of mineral reserves and resources may not be accurate and accordingly that mine production will not be as estimated or predicted; gold, silver and base metal prices may decline or may be less than forecasted; fluctuations in currency exchange rates (including the U.S. dollar to Brazilian real exchange rate) may increase costs of operations; operational and physical risks inherent in mining operations (including pit wall collapses, tailings storage facility failures, environmental accidents and hazards, industrial accidents, equipment breakdown, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, cave-ins, flooding and severe weather) may result in unforeseen costs, shut downs, delays in production and exposure to liability; planned exploration activities may not result in conversion of existing mineral resources into mineral reserves or discovery of new mineral resources; potential political and social risks involving Great Panther’s operations in a foreign jurisdiction; the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; employee relations; relationships with, and claims by, local communities and indigenous populations; the Company’s ability to obtain all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals in a timely manner; changes in laws, regulations and government practices in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; legal restrictions related to mining; the inability to remediate the UCS pit at Tucano and the Topia tailings storage facility as planned; diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; acts of foreign governments; political risk; labour or social unrest; uncertainties related to title to the Company’s mineral properties and the surface rights thereon, including the Company’s ability to acquire, or economically acquire, the surface rights to certain of the Company’s exploration and development projects; unanticipated operational difficulties due to adverse weather conditions, failure of plant or mine equipment and unanticipated events related to health, safety, and environmental matters; failure of counterparties to perform their contractual obligations; deterioration of general economic conditions; the Company’s ability to operate as anticipated; and the Company’s ability to appropriately capitalize and finance its operations.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements or information. Forward-looking statements or information are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements or information.

Readers are advised to carefully review and consider the risk factors identified in this AIF under the heading “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to be materially different from any anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. It is recommended that prospective investors consult the more complete discussion of the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects that is included in this AIF.

The Company’s forward-looking statements and information are based on the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and opinions of management as of the date of this AIF. The Company will update forward-looking statements and information if and when, and to the extent, required by applicable securities laws. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements and information contained herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

1.D. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). IFRS differs in some respects from US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and thus the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of US companies.

The Company’s financial statements are presented in United States dollars (the reporting and functional currency of the Canadian parent company). Financial, share price and operating information presented in this AIF is presented in US dollars unless otherwise noted.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 5

1.E. TECHNICAL INFORMATION

The technical information in this AIF relating to the Company’s mineral projects has been reviewed and approved by Robert Brown, P. Eng., a “Qualified Person” under National Instrument 43-101, Neil Hepworth, M.Sc., C. Eng. (the Company’s Chief Operating Officer (“COO”)) and Fernando Cornejo, M. Eng., P. Eng. (the Company’s Vice President of Operations, Brazil ).

1.F. CANADIAN MINERAL PROPERTY STANDARDS AND RESERVE/ RESOURCE ESTIMATES

As a Canadian issuer, the Company is required to comply with reporting standards in Canada that require that it makes disclosure regarding our mineral properties, including any estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all resource estimates contained in or incorporated by reference in this AIF have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101.

This AIF uses certain technical terms presented below defined in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the “CIM Definition Standards”) adopted by the CIM on May 10, 2014 (“CIM 2014”), as required by NI 43-101. The following definitions are reproduced from CIM 2014:

Feasibility Study

A comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of applicable modifying factors together with any other relevant operational factors and detailed financial analysis that are necessary to demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable).  The results of the study may reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project.  The confidence level of the study will be higher than that of a pre-feasibility study.

Indicated Mineral Resource

That part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.  Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to assume geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation.  An Indicated Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to a Measured Mineral Resource and may only be converted to a Probable Mineral Reserve.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 6

Inferred Mineral Resource	That part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling.  Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity.  An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource and may not be converted to a Mineral Reserve.  It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
Measured Mineral Resource	That part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of modifying factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation.  A Measured Mineral Resource has a higher level of confidence than that applying to either an Indicated Mineral Resource or an Inferred Mineral Resource.  It may be converted to a Proven Mineral Reserve or to a Probable Mineral Reserve.
Mineral Reserve	The economically mineable part of a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility level as appropriate that include application of modifying factors.  Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified.  The reference point at which Mineral Reserves are defined, usually the point where the ore is delivered to the processing plant, must be stated. It is important that, in all situations where the reference point is different, such as for a saleable product, a clarifying statement is included to ensure that the reader is fully informed as to what is being reported.  The public disclosure of a Mineral Reserve must be demonstrated by a Pre-Feasibility Study or Feasibility Study.
Mineral Resource	A concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling.
Modifying Factors	Considerations used to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves.  These include, but are not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 7

Pre-Feasibility Study	A comprehensive study of a range of options for the technical and economic viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where a preferred mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration, in the case of an open pit, is established and an effective method of mineral processing is determined.  It includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions on the modifying factors and the evaluation of any other relevant factors which are sufficient for a Qualified Person, acting reasonably, to determine if all or part of the mineral resource may be converted to a mineral reserve at the time of reporting.  A Pre-Feasibility Study is at a lower confidence level than a Feasibility Study.
Probable Mineral Reserve	The economically mineable part of an Indicated, and in some circumstances, a Measured Mineral Resource.  The confidence in the modifying factors applying to a Probable Mineral Reserve is lower than that applying to a Proven Mineral Reserve.
Proven Mineral Reserve	The economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource.  A Proven Mineral Reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the modifying factors.

This AIF also uses the term “Preliminary Economic Assessment”, which is defined in NI 43-101 to mean a study that includes an economic analysis of the potential viability of Mineral Resources, but that does not meet the definition of either a Pre-Feasibility Study or a Feasibility Study, as such terms are defined above.

1.G. CAUTIONARY NOTES TO U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the U.S. Exchange Act. These amendments were effective February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”). The SEC Modernization Rules replaced the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7 (“Guide 7”), which have been rescinded.

The SEC Modernization Rules include the adoption of terms describing Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources that are “substantially similar” to the corresponding terms under the CIM Definition Standards. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, SEC now recognizes estimates of Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of Proven Mineral Reserves and Probable Mineral Reserves to be “substantially similar” to the corresponding CIM Definitions.

United States investors are cautioned that while the above terms are “substantially similar” to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any Mineral Reserves or Mineral Resources that the Company may report as Proven Mineral Reserves, Probable Mineral Reserves, Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 8

United States investors are also cautioned that while the SEC will now recognize Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of Mineral Resources or into Mineral Reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as Reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources, or Inferred Mineral Resources reported by the Company are or will be economically or legally mineable.

United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the Inferred Mineral Resources exist. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.

For the above reasons, information contained in this AIF containing descriptions of the Company’s mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

3.	GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS
3.A.	GENERAL

Great Panther Mining Limited is an intermediate precious metals mining and exploration company listed on the TSX trading under the symbol GPR, and on the NYSE American trading under the symbol GPL.

The Company has three wholly-owned mining operations, including the Tucano Gold Mine (“Tucano”) in Brazil acquired in March 2019. In Mexico, Great Panther operates the Topia Mine (“Topia”) and the Guanajuato Mine Complex (“the GMC”). The GMC comprises the Guanajuato Mine (“Guanajuato”), the San Ignacio Mine (“San Ignacio”), and the Cata processing plant. The Company also owns several exploration properties which are discussed below.

Tucano is an open pit gold mine approximately 200 kilometres from Macapá, the state capital of Amapá in Brazil. It produces gold doré and is expected to produce 120,000 to 130,000   ounces of gold in calendar 2020 with ore processed through a primary crusher, SAG mill, ball mill and CIL infrastructure, capable of treating both oxide and sulphide ore. Current combined Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at Tucano are approximately 646,000 ounces of gold, as detailed below in Section 5.C.2 under “2019 Tucano Technical Report – Mineral Reserve Estimate as of September 30, 2019”. Tucano sits in an underexplored greenstone belt and there is potential to increase reserve quantity and quality both at surface and underground.

The GMC  produces silver and gold concentrate and is located in central Mexico, approximately 380 kilometres north-west of Mexico City, and approximately 30 kilometres from the Guanajuato International Airport. Topia is located in the Sierra Madre Mountains in the state of Durango in northwestern Mexico and produces metallic concentrates containing silver, gold, lead and zinc at its own processing facility.

Topia and the GMC are underground mines and the production process consists of conventional mining incorporating cut and fill, and resue methods. Extracted mineralized material is trucked to on-site conventional processing plants which consist of zinc and lead-silver flotation circuits at Topia, and a pyrite-silver-gold flotation circuit at the GMC.

On June 30, 2017, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Coricancha Mine Complex (“Coricancha”). Coricancha is a gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc underground mine, located in the Peruvian province of Huarochirí, approximately 90 kilometres east of Lima, and has been on care and maintenance since August 2013. In May 2018, the Company completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) to evaluate the restart of Coricancha, and completed a bulk sample program in 2019 to further test assumptions in the PEA (the “Bulk Sample Program” or “BSP”) and continues to evaluate the conditions for a restart of Coricancha. The Company does not currently plan to complete a feasibility study in connection with any production decision due to (i) the existing processing plant facility, (ii) the ability to continue on to development and production based on low initial capital costs, and (iii) the Company’s knowledge of the mine and mineral resource base.

The Company’s exploration properties include multiple near mine infill and step out targets around the existing mining corridors at Tucano, the GMC and Topia and regional targets across the greater than 2,000 square kilometre land package in which Tucano is located. Additional exploration properties include: El Horcón, Santa Rosa and Plomo in Mexico; and Argosy in Canada, all of which are wholly owned. El Horcón is located 100 kilometres by road northwest of Guanajuato city, Santa Rosa is located approximately 15 kilometres northeast of Guanajuato city, and the Plomo property is located in the state of Sonora, Mexico. The Argosy property is in the Red Lake Mining District in northwestern Ontario, Canada. The Company has not undertaken any significant exploration programs on El Horcón, Santa Rosa, Plomo and Argosy in the last three years, and none of these properties is considered material.

Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 14

The GMC, Topia, El Horcón and Santa Rosa are held by Minera Mexicana El Rosario SA de CV (“MMR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary acquired in February 2004. In 2005, the Company incorporated Metálicos de Durango SA de CV., and Minera de Villa Seca SA de CV., which are responsible for the day-to-day affairs and operations of Topia and the GMC, respectively, through service agreements with MMR.

Argosy is held by Cangold Limited, and Plomo is held by Coboro Minerales de Mexico SA de CV. Each company is a wholly owned subsidiary.

3.B. THREE-YEAR HISTORY

3.B.1 Year ended December 31, 2019 and Subsequent to the 2019 Year-end

Overall metal production for 2019 was 147,000 gold equivalent ounces, representing an increase of 182% over the prior year. The increase was due primarily to the acquisition of Tucano.

On March 5, 2019, Great Panther completed the acquisition of Tucano by acquiring 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Beadell Resources Limited (“Beadell”). Refer to the Significant Acquisitions section below and Form 51102F4 filed on SEDAR by the Company on May 17, 2019 for more information.

On April 3, 2019, all holders of Beadell’s senior secured convertible debentures maturing on June 30, 2023 (the “Convertible Debentures”) accepted the Company’s repurchase offer made under the terms of the indenture governing the Convertible Debentures upon a change of control. The repurchase was completed for an aggregate price of $10.5 million, plus accrued interest.

On May 7, 2019, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Kevin Ross to its Board of Directors. Mr. Ross is a mining engineer with over 40 years of experience leading mining operations in Africa, Europe, North America and Latin America. 

On July 9, 2019, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co. and Eight Capital. Under the ATM Agreement, the Company is entitled, at its discretion and from time-to-time during the term of the ATM Agreement, to sell common shares of the Company equal to the lesser of i) 10% of the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common shares as at the last trading day of the month before the month in which the first trade under the offering is made, and ii) aggregate gross proceeds of US$25 million.  No shares have been sold under the ATM Agreement to the date of this AIF.

On August 8, 2019, the Company announced that it closed a bought deal financing for aggregate gross proceeds of US$17,250,000, pursuant to which the Company issued 23,000,000 common shares of the Company at the price of US$0.75 per Share.

On October 6, 2019, the west wall of the Urucum Central South pit (“UCS”) at Tucano underwent slope displacement. Since then, the pit has been closed to mining and the Company has deployed significant effort and resources toward a remediation plan with the assistance of the independent consulting firm Knight Piésold & Co. (“Knight Piésold”).

Pending completion of the remediation plan, UCS continues to be included in the Company’s Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimate, with a Mineral Reserve Estimate (Proven and Probable) of approximately 88,000 ounces of gold. Current estimates for UCS include conservative adjustments to pit wall configurations based on preliminary geotechnical findings.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 15

Initial remedial unloading work at UCS was started in the first quarter of 2020 to remove free diggable material at the top of the slope. Continued remedial unloading work involving drilling and blasting is expected to start in third quarter following protocols from Knight Piésold, and subject to favourable results from geotechnical data gathering now underway, including information from five geotechnical core holes to be drilled commencing in April 2020. If the remediation plan is determined not to be feasible, then the current UCS reserves may not be mined.

On October 30, 2019, the Company announced that Mr. James Bannantine, President & CEO, departed the Company following a determination by the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) to effect a leadership change. Following this,  Board Chair, Jeffrey Mason, assumed the additional role of Interim President & CEO until a permanent successor is in place.  

On October 31, 2019, the Company announced the appointment of Neil Hepworth, Chartered Engineer, UK, as COO.

On November 8, 2019, the Company reported that a fatal accident involving a contractor's employee occurred due to an isolated rock fall at San Ignacio.

On November 18, 2019, the Company reported a second fatal accident, this time at the Coricancha processing plant.

On December 30, 2019 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, MMR, entered into a US$10 million concentrate prepayment agreement with the IXM Group, a physical metals trader headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.

On February 4, 2020, the Company completed a $11.25 million gold doré prepayment agreement (the "Advance") with Samsung C&T U.K. Ltd. ("Samsung"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung C&T Corporation, headquartered in Seoul, South Korea and a part of the Samsung Group, in consideration of delivery and sale of approximately 3,000 ounces of gold contained in doré per month over a two-year period commencing January 2020 from Tucano. Gold deliveries are sold at a 0.65% discount to the benchmark price of gold at the time of delivery. The Advance will be repaid in equal instalments of $0.8 million per month commencing December 2020 until January 2022 such that all amounts outstanding to Samsung will be repaid in full. The Advance bears interest at an annual rate of 3-month USD LIBOR plus 5% and is secured by a pledge of all equity interests in Great Panther's Brazilian subsidiary that owns Tucano. Great Panther has a full option for early re-payment of the Advance, subject to a 3% penalty applied to the outstanding balance. The agreement also provides Samsung a right of offer for concentrates produced from Coricancha in certain circumstances.

On February 6, 2020, Great Panther announced plans for a $6.6 million (55,000 metre) 2020 drill program for Tucano for completion in 2020 and comprising both "near-mine" and "regional" targets.

On March 9, 2020 the Company announced its inaugural Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimate (the “MRMR”) for Tucano. The MRMR has an effective date of September 30, 2019 and uses a more rigorous approach to mineral resource and reserve estimation compared with the June 30, 2017 estimate of the previous operator. The MRMR reflects operating experience since acquiring the mine in 2019 and a better understanding of the mine’s geology, and is therefore expected to improve mine forecasting reliability. Internationally recognized mining consultants Roscoe Postle & Associates (“RPA”) acted as independent technical qualified persons for the MRMR. The announcement also included an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the GMC and an update on the status of the Topia TSF. Further discussion of these can also be found in subsections 5.A.10 and 5.B.9, respectively.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 16

At Tucano as of the effective date of the MRMR, after adjustments for mining depletion since June 30, 2017, Mineral Reserves are estimated to be approximately 646,000 gold ounces, a decline of approximately 489,000 gold ounces relative to the June 30, 2017 estimate. Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources (excluding Mineral Reserves) declined by approximately 500,000 gold ounces. Based on a preliminary analysis of the updated Mineral Reserve estimate (without consideration of resource conversion or underground mining), the Company estimates that its current open pit Mineral Reserves will continue to be mined to the fourth quarter of 2021. Refer to the Company’s press release dated March 9, 2020 and subsection 5.C.2 for more details of the update.

In connection with the announcement of the MRMR, and the Company announced a further refinement of the near mine program and other opportunities to increase the mine life including possible further evaluation and the enhancement of an existing Prefeasibility Study supporting the development of an underground mining operation below the Urucum North pit, which comprises the 288,000 ounces of underground Mineral Reserves. A decision on whether to proceed with a Feasibility Study for an underground mine is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2020, following an underground targeted drill program.

3.B.2 Year ended December 31, 2018

Overall metal production for 2018 was 4,170,966 Ag eq oz, representing an increase of 5% over the prior year. The increase in production was primarily due to the current year revision in the Ag eq oz conversion ratios due to higher gold to silver price ratio, and higher silver and lead recoveries at Topia. These factors were partly offset by lower silver and gold grades at both the GMC and Topia, and lower gold recovery at Topia.

The Company undertakes ongoing exploration of the GMC with the objective of replacing mined resources and expanding the Mineral Resource base. On January 25, 2019, the Company provided an update to the Mineral Resource at the GMC which reported an increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 91%. During 2018, exploration at San Ignacio consisted of both surface and underground drilling which totaled 7,085 metres.

Late in the third quarter of 2018, in order to lower costs and mitigate the impact of lower metal prices, the Company undertook a restructuring at the GMC to reduce mining from Guanajuato and to increase output from San Ignacio. In addition, the Company undertook other cost reduction measures and started to see the impact of these measures in the fourth quarter of 2018. Further restructuring measures were taken at the start of 2019 which included an optimization strategy under which the entire production for the GMC will be sourced from the lower cost San Ignacio operation, enabling a focused exploration program for Guanajuato aimed at growing higher margin resources.

On January 29, 2019, the Company reported an update to the Mineral Resource at Topia which increased the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources by 28% to 14,770,000 Ag eq oz compared to the previous estimate reported in 2014.

In December 2017, the Company announced that SEMARNAT, the Mexican environmental authority, had granted all permits for the construction and operation of Phase II of the Topia TSF. Phase II is not a conventional tailings dam, but instead a dry stack operation using filter cake. The deposition includes stacking and compaction of the material. While detailed design and engineering of the under drainage of the lower bench of Phase II is underway, the Company is utilizing the upper bench of Phase II for the deposition of dry stack tailings and expects to continue to do so throughout 2019.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 17

Phase I of the Topia TSF was closed and contoured during 2018. Based upon recommendations from an independent consulting firm, three additional instrumentation stations in the footprint of the Topia TSF will be put in place in 2019 for the purposes of continuous monitoring. An independent consulting firm will continue to perform an annual review of Phase I, as well as conduct geotechnical reviews and provide design considerations for Phase II.

On May 31, 2018, the Company reported the results of a positive PEA for Coricancha and filed a full PEA technical report on SEDAR on July 13, 2018. Following this, the Company initiated a 6,000 tonne trial stope and bulk sample program to further de-risk the project. The objective of the Bulk Sample Program is to confirm expectations regarding throughput, grades, and recoveries.

On September 23, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a scheme implementation deed (the "Implementation Deed") with Beadell, to acquire all of the issued ordinary shares of Beadell by means of the Scheme under the Australian Corporations Act 2001. (see "Significant Acquisitions" below).

On February 22, 2018, Great Panther regretfully announced the passing away of Mr. Kenneth W. Major, who served as Director of the Company since March 2011, including distinguished service as Chair of the Safety, Health and Environment Committee (“SHEC”), in addition to service on other committees of the board of directors. In Ken’s honour, the Company has established the Kenneth W. Major Safety Award to recognize Great Panther employees annually who exemplify Ken’s value of safety in the workplace.

On May 7, 2018, the Company announced that Mr. Ali Soltani would be stepping down from his role as Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective May 31, 2018. Mr. Soltani continued to provide services to the Company on a part-time basis as Senior Technical Advisor for several months thereafter.

3.B.3 Year ended December 31, 2017

Overall metal production for 2017 was 3,978,731 Ag eq oz, a 2% increase over the prior year despite a slight decrease in tonnes milled. This was due to an increase in production from the higher grade Topia operation, which benefited from higher throughput and increase in ore grades.

The Company introduced and implemented additional safety measures during 2017, including the SafeStart program, with the objective of further educating workers and their families about the importance of operating a safe work environment.

The Company completed 22,207 metres of exploration drilling at the GMC during 2017, a significant increase over 15,685 metres in 2016. On January 25, 2018, the Company provided an update to the Mineral Resource at the GMC which reported an increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 91%. During 2017, exploration at San Ignacio consisted of both surface and underground drilling which totaled 17,885 metres. This drilling resulted in the extension and continued delineation of the Melladito and Nombre de Dios zones at San Ignacio, and a significant increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources. Underground drilling at Guanajuato totaled 4,322 metres, and was focused on the Cata, Los Pozos, Guanajuatito, San Cayetano, Santa Margarita and Valenciana mining areas.

The Company completed 2,485 metres of surface exploration drilling at Topia during 2017, while no such drilling was completed in 2016.

In June 2017, the Company successfully completed the commissioning phase of the refurbished processing plant at Topia and the plant was operating at planned capacity. Milling operations had been suspended from early December 2016 until early April 2017 to facilitate the construction of a tailings filtration plant, and completion of plant upgrades. In December 2017, SEMARNAT granted the Company all permits for the construction and operation of the new Phase II TSF at Topia. The Company was utilizing the existing Phase I TSF during the construction of Phase II.

On June 30, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Coricancha from subsidiaries of Nyrstar NV (see "Significant Acquisitions" below).

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 18

On August 14, 2017, the Company announced the results of the exploration drilling program conducted at Coricancha which focussed on three main veins – Wellington, Constancia and Colquipallana, in addition to a new exploration target, the Animas vein.

On August 16, 2017, James Bannantine was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, succeeding Robert Archer. Mr. Archer remains on the board of directors.

On December 20, 2017, the Company completed an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Coricancha. The Measured and Indicated tonnes and grades in the updated Mineral Resource Estimate compared well with those from the historical resource estimate of 2012.

The Company compiled supplemental information requested by CONAGUA during its inspections conducted during 2016 and submitted it in December 2017.

3.C. SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITIONS

On September 23, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into an Implementation Deed with Beadell to acquire all of the issued ordinary shares of Beadell by means the Scheme under the Australian Corporations Act 2001.

On February 11, 2019, the Scheme was approved by the Company’s shareholders (96% in favour) and on February 12, 2019, the Scheme was also approved by 97% of the number of votes cast, and 75% of the number of Beadell shareholders present and voting, at the meeting of Beadell shareholders. On March 5, 2019, the acquisition of Beadell (the “Acquisition”) was completed.

Pursuant to the Implementation Deed and Scheme:

·  Beadell shareholders received 0.0619 of the Company’s common shares for each Beadell share held (the “Exchange Ratio”). Upon completion of the Scheme, Beadell shareholders received approximately 103.6 million of the Company’s common shares equal to approximately 38% of the Company’s pro-forma outstanding common shares.

·  Under concurrent arrangements, each Beadell warrant holder received a number of Company share purchase warrants equal to the number of their Beadell warrants multiplied by the Exchange Ratio at a price adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the original warrant. The Company issued the following pursuant to these arrangements on completion of the Scheme: (a) warrants to purchase 3,428,032 Great Panther Shares with an exercise price of $1.317 and an expiry date of May 17, 2022; and (b) warrants to purchase 6,321,695 Great Panther Shares with an exercise price of $1.317 and an expiry date of June 27, 2022.

Some of the key closing conditions that were completed or satisfied included:

4.	DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
4.A.	PRINCIPAL MARKETS

In 2019, Great Panther produced gold doré as a result of the acquisition of Tucano in Brazil. The gold doré is refined and sold directly to refiners or metal traders. The Company also continued to produce metallic concentrates containing silver, gold, lead and zinc at its Mexican operations. These concentrates are then sold to metal traders or directly to smelters and refiners that extract the metals from the concentrates (see “Product Marketing, Sales and Distribution”). In 2019, gold accounted for 85% of the Company’s revenues, and silver accounted for 11%. The remaining 4% of the Company’s revenues are from the production of lead and zinc at Topia.

Gold and silver are precious metals traded as commodities primarily on the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”) and Comex in New York (the “CME”). The LBMA is an international trade association, representing the London market for gold and silver bullion which has a global client base. This includes the majority of the gold-holding central banks, private sector investors, mining companies, producers, refiners and fabricators. The on-going work of the LBMA covers a number of areas, among them refining standards, trading documentation and the development of good trading practices. The maintenance of the “Good Delivery List”, including the accreditation of new refiners and the regular retesting of listed refiners, is the most important core activity of the LBMA.

The LBMA gold price auction takes place twice daily by ICE Benchmark Administration at 10:30 and 15:00 London time with the price set in US dollars per ounce. The price is displayed on the LBMA'S website with a 30-minute delay. The LBMA silver price auction is operated by CME and administered by Thomson Reuters. The price is set daily in US dollars per ounce at 12:00 noon London time and is displayed on the LBMA's website with a 15-minute delay. Reference prices for both gold and silver are also available in British Pounds and in Euros.

The gold and silver business is cyclical as smelting and refining charges rise and fall depending upon the demand for, and supply of, gold bullion and silver-gold concentrates in the market. In addition, the market prices of gold and silver have historically fluctuated widely, and are affected by numerous global factors beyond the control of the Company and the mining industry in general. A decline in such market prices may have an adverse effect on revenues from the sale of gold and silver.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 20

Gold demand comprises four primary categories: jewelry, investment, central banks and other financial institutions, and technology. Jewelry has always been a dominant source of demand for gold and accounts for approximately half of world gold demand. Investment in gold by institutional and private investors accounts for around one third of global demand and is made up of direct ownership of bars and coins, or indirect ownership via Exchange-Traded Funds and similar products. Gold is also one of the few assets that is universally permitted by the investment guidelines of the world’s central banks due, in part, to the gold market being deep and liquid. Around 9% of the world demand for gold is for technical applications. The electronics industry accounts for the majority of this, where gold’s conductivity and resistance to corrosion make it the material of choice for manufacturers of high-specification components. In addition, the metal’s excellent biocompatibility means that it continues to be used in dentistry. Beyond electronics and dentistry, gold is used across a variety of high-technology industries, in complex and difficult environments, including the space industry and in fuel cells. Gold’s catalytic properties are also beginning to create demand both within the automotive sector, as the metal has now been proven to be a commercially viable alternative to other materials in catalytic converters, and within the chemical industry.

In 2018, total physical silver demand accounted for 1,033.5 million ounces per the Silver Institute, World Silver Survey 2019, and comprised the following end markets categories: industrial use (56.0%), coins and bars (17.5%), and silver jewelry (20.6%) and silverware (5.9%). Approximately 42.9% of the industrial use is for electrical and electronic components and 13.9% is accounted for by use in the manufacturing of photovoltaics (solar cells). Silver has many key, and in some cases unique, properties such as durability, malleability, ductility, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, and antibacterial properties, which makes it valuable in numerous industrial applications. The applications include: circuit boards, electrical wiring, superconductors, brazing and soldering, mirror and window coatings, electroplating, chemical catalysts, pharmaceuticals, filtration systems, solar panels, batteries, televisions, household appliances and automobiles. The unique properties of silver also make it difficult to substitute the element in its industrial applications.

The principal customers for the Company’s gold and metallic concentrates are international traders, smelters and refineries in Europe, Mexico, and Asia. For the year ended December 31, 2019, five customers accounted for all of the Company’s revenues.

There is a global market for refined gold and metallic concentrates and the Company continues to identify and evaluate new buyers for its refined gold and metallic concentrates through an active marketing process. Great Panther’s head office in Vancouver provides sales and marketing services to its mining operations in respect of the sale of refined gold and metallic concentrates produced by its operations. The Company’s gold is typically sold once it has been refined to LBMA Good Delivery form. There is an active and liquid global market for the Company’s refined gold, with price quotations that can be referenced on a real-time basis, and the Company’s refined gold is sold on a spot or forward basis. During 2019, the Company entered into a contract with an international trader for exclusive sale of the gold produced by Tucano until December 31, 2019. For the metallic concentrates, the sales and marketing generally involves an annual competitive tendering process and marketing and relationship development throughout the year. The tendering process culminates in the Company’s Mexican subsidiary entering into contracts with metal traders or smelting and refining companies for generally a one-year term. The tendering process enables the Company to review and renegotiate the terms of its contracts annually to ensure that it receives the most competitive pricing and terms possible. In 2019, the Company entered into a two-year agreement with an international trader for 100% of concentrate production from the GMC.

Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 21

For the Company’s sale of metallic concentrates, the smelters and international traders pay the Company for an agreed upon percentage of the contained gold and other metals contained in the Company’s concentrates, net of refining, smelting, and other applicable charges. Revenues reported by the Company are net of these charges. The pricing for the contained metals in the concentrate is typically the average of all the daily quoted market prices within a specific month or other agreed period of time.

For the Company’s sale of refined gold, the delivery of gold doré is made via land and air to a refinery, and is then refined to LBMA Good Delivery form. Typically, the refinery then allocates the refined gold to the end customer that the Company has sold the refined gold to. The price for the refined gold is based on the prevailing market price of gold at the time of trading, and no adjustments to revenue are made subsequent to the initial recognition. For the Company’s metallic concentrates, the delivery is typically made by truck to customers' warehouses. As concentrates can vary in terms of grade and quality from shipment to shipment, the sales are subject to a final settlement process to adjust for any variances. After the physical transfer of the metal concentrate, the Company has the right to request advance payments based on the provisional value of shipments calculated at spot prices for the contained metals. Such advances are typically 90% to 95% of the provisional value, and are typically payable within 15 days from the date of the provisional invoice, depending on the specific contract. A final payment or adjustment is made on the date of final settlement, once all information regarding concentrate content is known, typically within 5 business days after the final weights, assays and prices are known and invoiced.

4.C. SEASONALITY

The Company’s Tucano operation is subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of weather conditions. Specifically, Tucano’s production is typically stronger in the second half of a calendar year (normally August until January) as the dry season enables higher rates of mining productivity and the mine plan is characterized by lower strip ratios and access to higher grades in the open pits. Accordingly, Tucano typically has more favourable operating results in the second half of the year. The climate in Mexico allows exploration, mining and milling operations to be carried out year-round. Therefore, revenue and cost of sales generally do not exhibit variations due to seasonality. The exceptions are periods of excessive drought which may limit or defer processing of mineralized material and/or concentrate. The dry season in Mexico generally extends from October through April. The Company has not experienced a suspension of mining and processing activities due to drought in any of the last three fiscal years.

The climate in Peru at the location of Coricancha, which is currently on care and maintenance, also allows mining activities to be carried out year-round. There is a rainy season from January to March that has in the past caused flooding and disruptions to operations in the area where Coricancha is located.

4.D. SPECIALIZED SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE

The Company’s business requires specialized skills and knowledge in the areas of geology, mining, metallurgy, social and environmental studies, permitting, claim management and finance. The Company has a number of employees with extensive experience in mining, engineering, finance, geology, exploration and development, including but not limited to, Jeffrey Mason, Interim President & Chief Executive Officer and non-independent director; Jim Zadra, Chief Financial Officer & Corporate Secretary; Neil Hepworth, Chief Operating Officer; Fernando Cornejo, Vice President of Operations, Brazil; and Brian Peer, Vice President, Operations Mexico & Peru.

4.E. COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS

The Company’s business is to mine and process mineralized material and sell gold doré and precious and base metals concentrates. Prices for its products are determined by world markets over which it has no influence or control. The Company also competes with other mining companies, some of which have greater financial resources and technical facilities, for the acquisition of mineral interests, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.

4.F. DOING BUSINESS IN BRAZIL, MEXICO AND PERU

4.F.1 Mining in Brazil

The National Mining Agency (“ANM”) is the federal agency entitled to regulate mining activities in Brazil. ANM was created in 2017, through Law No. 13.575/2017, replacing the National Department of Mines.

In addition to the Federal Constitution, mining activities are mainly regulated by Decree-Law No. 227/1967 (the Brazilian Mining Code), and its Regulations (Decree No. 9,406/2018). Nonetheless, mining activities are also subject to state and municipal laws, particularly on taxes and environment.

Exploration activities are authorised by Exploration Licences granted by the ANM. In general, such licences are valid for a three-year period. Licences are usually renewable upon request for an additional three years, at ANM’s discretion. Exploitation activities are authorised by Mining Concessions, granted by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. Mining Concessions have no expiration date, being valid until the depletion of mineral deposit.

Mining activities are subject to a statutory royalty, CFEM, on the revenue arising from the sale of mineral product. Federal Law No. 13,540/2017 increased the CFEM rate for gold from 1.0% to 1.5% on the gross revenue.

4.F.2 Mining in Mexico

The mining industry in Mexico is controlled by the Secretaría de Economía – Dirección General de Minas which is located in, and administered from, Mexico City. Mining concessions in Mexico may only be obtained by Mexican nationals or Mexican companies incorporated under Mexican laws. The construction of processing plants requires further governmental approval.

In Mexico, surface land rights are distinct from the mining concessions.

The holder of a mining concession is granted the exclusive right to explore and develop a designated area. Mining concessions are granted for 50 years from the date of their registration with the Public Registry of Mining to the concession holder as a matter of law, if all regulations have been complied with. During the final five years of this period, the concession holder may apply for one additional 50-year period, which is automatically granted provided all other concession terms have been complied with. Mining rights in Mexico can be transferred by their private holders with no restrictions or requirements other than to register the transaction with the Public Registry of Mining.

In accordance with the Federal Duties Law, the holder of a mining concession is obligated to pay biannual duties in January and July of each year based upon the number of hectares covered by the concession area.

Concessionaires must perform work each year that must begin within 90 days of the concession being granted. Concessionaires must file proof of the work performed each May. Non-compliance with these requirements is cause for cancellation only after the secretary of economy communicates in writing to the concessionaire of any such default, granting the concessionaire a specified time frame in which to remedy the default.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 24

If a concession holder does not carry out exploration and exploitation activities for two continuous years within the first 11 years of its concession title, it will be required to pay an additional charge equal to 50% of the two-year concession duty. The concession duty increases to 100% for continued inactivity after the 12th year. Payment of the additional concession duty is due 30 days after the end of the two-year period.

In Mexico, there are no limitations on the total amount of mining concessions or on the amount of land that may be held by an individual or a company. Excessive accumulation of concessions is regulated indirectly through the duties levied on the property and the production and exploration requirements as outlined above.

Mexican mining law requires the payment of a discovery premium related to National Mineral Reserves, Concessions in Marine Zones, and Allotments to the Council of Mineral Resources.

Environmental protection regulations in Mexico require permits for mine operations and exploration, for operating a processing plant, for the discharge and/or deposition, and for changes to grandfathered projects. There are four government departments that deal with and regulate such affairs.

Mining companies are subject to a special mining duty of 7.5% on profits derived from the sale of minerals, and an extraordinary mining duty of 0.5% on the gross value of sales of gold, silver and platinum.

4.F.3 Mining in Peru  

In Peru, the General Mining Law allows mining companies to obtain clear and secure title to mining concessions. Surface land rights are distinct from mining concessions. The government retains ownership of all subsurface land and Mineral Resources, but the titleholder of the concessions retains ownership of extracted Mineral Resources. Peruvian law requires that all operators of mines in Peru have an agreement with the owners of the land surface above the mining rights or to establish an easement upon such surface for mining purposes. Mining concessions allow for both exploration and for exploitation.

Mining rights in Peru can be transferred by their private holders with no restrictions or requirements other than to register the transaction with the Public Mining Register. The sale of mineral products is also unrestricted, so there is no obligation to satisfy the internal market before exporting products.

Peru enacted environmental laws whereby the Ministry of Energy and Mines and the Environmental Ministry have issued regulations mandating environmental standards for the mining industry. Under these standards, new mining development and production requires mining companies to file and obtain approval for an Environmental Impact Assessment, which incorporates technical, environmental and social matters, before being authorized to commence operations.

The Environmental Evaluation and Oversight Agency, OEFA, monitors environmental compliance. OEFA has the authority to carry out audits and levy fines on companies if they fail to comply with prescribed environmental standards and permits. The Supervisory Organism of Investment in Energy and Mines, OSINERGMIN, is the government agency in charge of supervising the compliance of safety and technical regulations. In a similar way to OEFA, the OSINERGMIN may impose fines and sanctions in case such regulations are not complied with.

In addition, there is regulation for obtaining permits for the use and acquisition of explosives for civilian use, through SUCAMEC, the National Superintendency of Control of Security Services, Weapons, Ammunition, and Explosives for Civilian Use authority, a specialized technical institution attached to the Ministry of the Interior.

The following permits are generally needed for a project: Certificate for the Inexistence of Archaeological Remains, CIRA; Environmental Impact Assessment; Mine Closure Plan; Establishment of a Financial Guarantee for Closure; Beneficiation Concession; Mining Transportation Concession; Permanent Power Concession; Water Usage and discharge Permits; Easements and Rights-of-way; District and Provincial Municipality Licenses and Construction and Operation Permits within its jurisdiction.

Companies incorporated in Peru are subject to income tax on their worldwide taxable income, while foreign companies that are located in Peru and non-resident entities are taxed on income from Peruvian sources only. The corporate income tax is 29.5%, in addition 8% of profit sharing to employees. In general terms, mining companies in Peru are subject to the general corporate income tax regime. If the taxpayer has elected to sign a Stability Agreement, an additional 2% premium is applied on the regular corporate income tax rate. The Company has not signed a Stability Agreement. Also, 50% of income tax paid by a mine to the Central Government is remitted as “Canon” by the Central Government back to the regional and local authorities of the area where the mine is located.

In Peru, a dividend tax rate of 5.0% is imposed on distributions of profits to non-residents and domiciled individuals by resident companies and by branches, permanent establishments and agencies of foreign companies.

Peru has a royalty referred to as the Modified Mining Royalty (“Peruvian Royalty”) that applies to operating income at marginal rates ranging from 1% to 12%, and is payable quarterly. Operating income is defined as revenues from the sale of Mineral Resources, less cost of goods sold, less operating expenses, based on Peruvian statutory reporting regulations, with minor adjustments for interest and exploration expenditures.

Under the Peruvian Royalty regime, an “operating income” to “mining operating revenue” measure (operating profit margin) is calculated each quarter and the royalty rate increases with the increase in operating margin. Although the Peruvian Royalty is based on operating income, a company must pay at least 1% of sales, regardless of its profitability.

In addition, a Special Mining Tax (“SMT”) is a tax imposed in parallel with the Peruvian Royalty. The SMT is applied on operating mining income based on a progressive scale, with marginal rates ranging from 2.0% to 8.4%. The SMT is also payable on a quarterly basis.

4.G. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The Company has taken a proactive approach to managing environmental risk. In Mexico, it is participating in a voluntary environmental audit of its GMC and Topia operations. The outcomes of these audits are multi-year environmental programs, working in cooperation with PROFEPA to ensure compliance with regulations governing the protection of the environment in Mexico.

In Peru, the Company is in compliance with the environmental requirements of its mining permit, having relocated the majority of historic tailings facilities to the Chinchan site while it awaits the results of its application for a modified closure plan.

In Brazil, all licences required by various government agencies covering the operation of Tucano and its mill, and processing plant have been obtained or applications for renewals have been filed. The complete environmental studies, permitting, and social or community impact was carried out by SRK Consultants, in 2011, for the Operating Licence issued by the State Secretariat of Environment in Amapá, SEMA to operate a SAG mill/CIL processing plant.

Groundwater and surface water monitoring is performed through field checking of daily monitoring activities and collection of samples for chemical analysis at Tucano’s facilities. There are also monthly, quarterly, and half-yearly sample collections as required by environmental agencies, which are required to be sent to a certified external laboratory.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company has a provision of $50.6 million on its Statement of Financial Position for the estimated present cost of reclamation and remediation expenditures associated with the future closure of its mineral properties, and plant and equipment its mineral properties, and plant and equipment, at the GMC, Topia, Tucano and Coricancha. The estimated expenditures are to commence near the end of each mine’s useful life.

4.I. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Great Panther is committed to promoting sustainable development and believes that sharing the value created by the Company's activities contributes to the social and economic development of its host communities. The Company prioritizes social investment initiatives that contribute to improving the quality of life of the communities surrounding its operations, and that continue to make positive impacts beyond its participation.

The Company’s approach to sustainable development is planned to ensure that programs are designed as catalysts for mutual and lasting socio-economic benefits. These initiatives are based on active collaboration with host communities and aimed to contribute to healthy and sustainable societies. Great Panther believes that two-way engagement builds trust and fosters genuine partnerships with local stakeholders, and consequently relies on respectful, open and frequent communication with the members of its neighbouring communities.

Stakeholder engagement and social investment programs implemented by the Company in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru include partnerships with local governments and civil society organizations and are focused in three main areas: socio-economic development, public health and safety, and natural and cultural heritage.

Great Panther’s community relations teams implement wide stakeholder engagement initiatives with the local communities to create and to maintain mutually beneficial relationships by understanding and optimizing the positive influence that mines and projects can have on local development. 

Specifically at Tucano, as part of the requirements of its operation licence, the Company annually contributes capital to the Social and Environmental Compensation Funds of the local municipalities of Pedra Branca and Serra do Navio in the state of Amapá.  An elected council with representatives of the communities, City Hall, City Council, and the Company reviews and analyzes the community development programs that will be executed under this agreement in their respective municipalities.

5. MINING PROPERTIES

Great Panther has two active mining properties in Mexico: the GMC and Topia. The Company holds a 100% interest in the properties through its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary, MMR.

In addition, the Company acquired Tucano in Brazil on March 5, 2019 (see Significant Acquisitions).

5.A. GUANAJUATO MINE COMPLEX

5.A.1 The GMC

On October 25, 2005, the Company signed a formal purchase agreement with the Sociedad Cooperativa Minero Metalúrgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato (the “Cooperative”) to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in a group of producing and non-producing silver-gold mines in the Guanajuato Mining District. The total purchase price was $7.3 million, which included 1,107 hectares in two main properties (the Guanajuato and San Ignacio claims), the Cata processing plant (which has a nameplate capacity of 1,200 tpd), workshops and administration facilities, complete mining infrastructure, mining equipment, and certain surface rights. The final payment under this purchase agreement was made in November 2006.

In May 2006, the Company purchased 3.88 hectares of real estate adjacent to the plant at the GMC for a total of $0.7 million from the Cooperative. The decision to buy the extra land was made in order to facilitate any future expansion of the processing plant facilities and to buffer the processing plant site from any possible development nearby.

On December 27, 2007, the Company purchased an additional 0.28 hectares of land immediately adjacent to the plant and below the tailings dam at the GMC from the Cooperative for a total of $0.3 million. The land was primarily purchased to buffer the area from any possible development.

In August 2012, the Company signed a definitive agreement for the purchase of a 100% interest in certain surface rights to a total of 19.4 hectares at San Ignacio, for the construction of a mine portal and ancillary surface facilities.

5.A.2 Current Technical Reports

5.A.3 Property Description, Location, and Access

Central Mexico has a dry climate with an annual precipitation of about 600 millimetres per year generally falling between June and October. The annual mean temperature is 25°C, but winters can be cool with lows approaching 0°C. Exploration and mining work can be conducted year-round, uninterrupted by weather.

The GMC is located on the Central Plateau of Mexico in the Sierra Guanajuato, approximately 380 km by road northwest of Mexico City. The terrain is moderately rugged, with elevations on the property ranging from 1,600 masl to 2,200 masl. Hillsides are deeply incised by drainage and slopes are moderately to extremely steep. Vegetation consists of grasses, small trees, shrubs, and cacti. Larger  trees grow in the valley bottoms where there is more water.

Guanajuato Mine

The property is accessible via city streets in the city of Guanajuato, in Guanajuato State, Mexico. Guanajuato has a population of approximately 180,000 and is located within 50 kilometres, by road, of an international airport at León, Mexico. The mine is easily accessible from major population centres in central Mexico via a system of modern roads.

San Ignacio Mine

The mine is located approximately 8 km northwest of the city of Guanajuato. Access to the property is provided via a 35-minute drive from the outskirts of the city of Guanajuato (approximately 22 km), mostly by paved road through the towns of Santa Ana and Cristo del Rey. The Company has negotiated surface rights sufficient for mining operations.

The area where Guanajuato and San Ignacio are located is characterized by rolling hills with small-incised drainages, which generally provide windows through thin soil cover to good bedrock exposures.

5.A.3.a Guanajuato Mine

Guanajuato is an underground silver-gold mine situated along the north-eastern side of Guanajuato. The mine consists of a number of mineralization zones along an approximately 4.2-kilometre strike length, which is mined from two operating shafts and two ramps. The location of Guanajuato falls within the second largest (historically) producing silver district in Mexico and the deposits on the Veta Madre trend, the principal host structure, have been mined since the 16th century.

Claim boundaries have been legally surveyed. The 19 mineral claims comprise 680 hectares in a contiguous claim block and expire between 2024 and 2057. The TSF and waste rock dump are contained within the property boundaries in areas where the Company holds surface rights at Guanajuato. There are no known environmental liabilities associated with the mineral claims, other than the provision recognized on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position for the estimated present value of future reclamation and remediation. This value comprises the provision associated with the Cata plant, TSF area and related infrastructure of the GMC, as well as the provision for Guanajuato.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 30

5.A.3.b San Ignacio Mine

San Ignacio lies within La Luz mining camp of the Guanajuato Mining District, located in the southern part of the Mesa Central physiographic province. The Mesa Central is an elevated plateau located in central Mexico. The mineralization on the property consists of epithermal silver-gold veins.

Surface rights owned by the Company are limited to blocks of ground around the old San Ignacio shaft and an additional block over the present underground development (new roads, mine rock dumps, and surface infrastructure). The nine mineral claims comprise 398 hectares and expire between 2031 and 2041. The Company has acquired surface rights sufficient for mining operations. There are no known environmental liabilities associated with the mineral claims, other than the provision recognized on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position for the estimated present value of future reclamation and remediation associated with the future retirement of San Ignacio.

5.A.4 History

Exploration in the Guanajuato area dates back to 1548 when silver mineralization was first discovered in the La Luz area by Spanish colonists. Two years later an outcrop of the Veta Madre was found near the current site of the Rayas Mine. Mining took place on a relatively small scale until the early 1700s when the application of explosives for tunneling resulted in a significant increase in production capacity. In the latter portion of the 18th century, Antonio Obregón y Alcocer financed the discovery and development of the Valenciana Mine. This mine became one of the premier silver mines in the world, at the time accounting for a third of global annual silver production. The Spanish controlled mining in the district until 1816 when mining ceased and all production facilities were destroyed during the Mexican War of Independence. The Valenciana Mine was reopened in 1868 with British capital. The British interests operated the mines for ten years but did not result in much success, losing a considerable amount of money. Operations at that time were hampered by a lack of rail facilities and the necessity of hauling heavy equipment from the coast by mule. Mining production declined during the early 1900s due to low prices. At that time, American interests acquired and reopened many of the mines. Old ore dumps and tailings were reprocessed to extract gold and silver; however, the onset of the Civil War in 1910 severely curtailed mining activity in the country, resulting in a decades-long slump in production.

The Company acquired the GMC from the Cooperative in 2005. At the time of the purchase, the GMC suffered from lack of investment and working capital, and had not run at full capacity since 1991. The Company resumed production in 2006 and the GMC  has operated continuously since that time.

5.A.5 Geological Setting and Mineralization

The GMC is in the Guanajuato Mining District, which is located in the southern part of the Mesa Central physiographic province. The Mesa Central is an elevated plateau of Cenozoic volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks located in central Mexico. It is bounded to the north and east by the Sierra Madre Oriental, to the west by the Sierra Madre Occidental, and to the south by the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.

Rocks within the Mesa Central consist of a Paleocene to Pliocene sequence of dacite-rhyolite, andesite, and basalt, with related intrusive bodies and intercalated local basin fill deposits of coarse sandstones and conglomerates. This Cenozoic volcanic-sedimentary sequence overlies a package of deformed and weakly metamorphosed Mesozoic submarine mafic volcanic and turbidite rocks.

Within the Mesa Central, the GMC is located in the Sierra de Guanajuato, a northwest-trending anticlinal structure approximately 100 km long and 20 km wide. The strata within the belt are transected by northwest, north, east-to-west, and northeast-trending regional scale faults. It is predominantly the northwest-trending structures, however, which control the position of mineralization. Normal fault movement along northeast-trending faults resulted in the downward displacement of certain blocks and the preservation of strata that was eroded in other areas. The northeast faults are therefore important locators of mineral camps within the belt.

Cretaceous volcanic rocks of La Luz Basalt underlie San Ignacio. These rocks are part of a volcanic-sedimentary complex that has various tectonic interpretations, but in general preserves a tectonic history probably related to northeastward tectonic thrust emplacement. By contrast, much of the area to the south-east (e.g., in and around Guanajuato) is underlain by a series of Tertiary volcanic rocks that lie unconformably on La Luz Basalt. The lower Guanajuato conglomerate is widespread and is of mid-Eocene to early Oligocene. Later, volcanic rocks were deposited unconformably on the Guanajuato conglomerate in a caldera setting at the intersection of regional northeast and northwest trending mid-Oligocene extensional fracture systems.

Three main northwest-trending precious metal-bearing vein systems occur in the district: the Sierra, Veta Madre, and La Luz systems.

5.A.5.a Guanajuato Mine

At Guanajuato, mineralization occurs within fault zones along the Veta Madre vein system as discontinuous shoots and tabular bodies. It is apparent from mine plans that stopes can be in the order of 700 m long and extend for 400 m vertically. Fauil zone thickness ranges from centimetre-scale to tens of metres. A series of mineralizing events is thought to have taken place during the Oligocene, a period of intense felsic volcanic activity in the area, and comprised three stages termed pre-ore, ore, and post-ore. Pre-ore mineralization consists of trace silver and gold with accessory quartz and adularia. Mineralized material comprises an early silver-rich phase associated with adularia, as well as a later low-silver variant, which is typified by calcite and quartz. The post-ore mineralization is also precious metal-poor, with accessory calcite, dolomite, and fluorite.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 32

The primary economic components are silver and gold, with silver the more important of the two. Base metals do not normally occur in economic concentrations. Average silver grades of the ore are typically in the 100 g/t Ag to 500 g/t Ag range but locally can be over 1,000 g/t Ag. Gold grades are generally in the 0.5 g/t Au to 2 g/t Au range, with the exception of the Santa Margarita vein where average grades are in the range of 5 g/t Au to 7 g/t Au. Within the mine, drill core and channel samples are not normally analysed for base metals so average grades for Cu, Pb or Zn have not been obtained.

Mineralization at Guanajuato is closely associated with the structural history. The “Veta Madre” quartz-adularia vein/breccia system is closely associated with the Madre fault and an associated diorite dyke (thickness varying from discontinuous lenses at Guanajuatito to a 50 – 100 m thick body in the Cata, Los Pozos, and Santa Margarita areas), oriented 325 degree azimuth with a 45 degree southwest dip. The Veta Madre forms along the dyke contacts, and in the Esperanza Formation, the footwall rocks to the Madre fault. At the Guanajuatito zone the main mineralization occurs in the deformed siltstone and shale of the Esperanza Formation contiguous with the Veta Madre Fault. Four zones were modeled at Guanajuatito, with the Veta Madre and the closely associated footwall ("FW") zone being dominant below the 80 level. At the Cata zone, Veta Madre mineralization occurs along the base of the diorite dyke with the Esperanza Formation, and as seven separately modelled zones within the diorite. A number of these zones are shallow dipping structural splays. The Los Pozos and Los Pozos SE zones are vein stockwork to breccia systems (Veta Madre) at the base of the diorite dyke and into the Esperanza Formation. The Santa Margarita zones form a complex structural set of four bodies within the diorite dyke and at its upper contact with the Guanajuato Formation conglomerates or basal andesite. These are above the Veta Madre breccia which is at the diorite contact with the footwall Esperanza Formation, but in this area is barren. The San Cayetano zone occurs deep in the Veta Madre south of the Rayas shaft, and tends to be narrow and often in the upper portion of the Veta Madre. The Promontorio zone occurs in the hanging-wall Guanajuato Formation conglomerates immediately above the Veta Madre structure at the contact of the Guanajuato Formation and the diorite dyke. At Valenciana there are parallel mineralized structures (Veta Madre) at the Esperanza Formation – diorite contact and into the Esperanza Formation.

The best mineralization is often found related to bends in the Veta Madre orientation such as at San Vicente in the Rayas area, and at Cata and Santa Margarita. These structural bends may be due to changes in rock type competencies, and varying thickness of the diorite dyke.

The vertical extent of the deposits at Guanajuato spans over 700 m (2,200 m to 1,500 m elevations and open to depth). Mineralization occurring above 2,100 m elevation was termed “upper ore”, between 2,100 m and 1,700 m “lower ore”, and below the 1,700 m elevation “deep ore”. Fluid inclusion microscope work from over 850 samples gathered through the mine and in deep drilling from the Santa Margarita area, indicated boiling zones from the 2,100 m to 1500 m (deepest drilling at the GMC) elevations. Structural observations of up to eight stages of crosscutting brecciation, and the variable range of Ag:Au ratios indicate that the mineralization along the Veta Madre is associated with multi-phase structural activity and fluid flow.

5.A.5.b San Ignacio Mine

San Ignacio is underlain by a package of basalt and andesite volcanic rocks belonging to the lower Cretaceous La Luz andesite. The basalt generally has subtle to well-developed pillow structures that are locally flattened. In a few localities, inter-pillow hyaloclastite is present and is characterized by a fine breccia composed of devitrified glass shards in a fine groundmass. Primary layering and way up indicators are generally difficult to determine from the small outcrops typical of the property, but the San Ignacio stratigraphy is not overturned.

San Ignacio contains structures of the La Luz vein system comprising numerous mineralized fractures in a northwesterly-trending orientation and extending for a known strike length of approximately eight kilometres. Historically productive veins on the property include the Veta Melladito and Veta Plateros. Veins identified in the recent Great Panther drilling are the Melladito, Melladito BO, Intermediate, Intermediate 2, Nombre de Dios, Nombre de Dios 1.5, Nombre de Dios 2N, Nombre de Dios 2S, Melladito South, Purisima, and Purisima BO. Mineralization is contained within tabular veins, vein stockwork, and breccias. The 11 veins with structural continuity inferred from surface mapping and diamond drilling from surface, and now with extensive underground development, have been defined up to 2,200 meters along strike and 150 meters down dip. Seven of the veins are very steeply dipping and four are shallowly dipping and are likely off-shoots of the other veins. The veins are accompanied by hydrothermal alteration, consisting of argillic, phyllic, silicic, and propylitic facies.

The primary economic components are silver and gold with approximately equal contributions of each. Economic mineralization consists of fine-grained disseminations of acanthite and pyrargyrite (silver minerals), electrum (gold-silver mineral), with accessory pyrite, and very minor sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Mineral textures in this zone are typically fracture filling, drusy, and colloform masses.

Average silver grades of the eight veins range from 58 g/t to 237 g/t Ag, while average gold grades range from 1.65 g/t to 3.84 g/t Au.

5.A.5.c Deposit Types

The mineral deposits in the Guanajuato area are classic fissure-hosted low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver-bearing quartz veins and stockwork. Mineralization consists of fine-grained disseminations of acanthite, electrum, aguilarite, and naumannite with accessory pyrite, and relatively minor sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite. Gangue minerals include quartz, calcite, adularia, and sericite. The veins are accompanied by hydrothermal alteration consisting of argillic, phyllic, silicic, and propylitic facies. Mineral textures in this zone are typically fracture-filling, drusy, and coliform masses.

Epithermal systems form near surface, usually in association with hot springs, and at depths of several hundreds metres below the paleosurface. Hydrothermal processes are driven by remnant heat from volcanic activity, which in the case of Guanajuato occurred in the middle to late Tertiary. Circulating thermal waters, rising up through fissures, eventually reach the “boiling level” where the hydrostatic pressure is low enough to allow boiling to occur. This can impart a limit to the vertical extent of the mineralization as the boiling and deposition of minerals is confined to a relatively narrow band of thermal and hydrostatic conditions. In many cases, however, repeated healing and reopening of host structures can occur, which causes cyclical vertical movement of the boiling zone, resulting in mineralization that spans a much broader range of elevations. This appears to have occurred at the Guanajuato Mine.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 34

Epithermal type precious metal deposits in the La Luz vein system and specifically in San Ignacio are strongly vertically controlled and pinch to centimetre scale at surface, associated with weak shear zones, minor argillic alteration, and weakly anomalous precious metal values. The mineralized vertical interval typically is 100 metres to 150 metres; however, it can range from 50 metres to well beyond 250 metres.

5.A.6 Exploration

5.A.6.a Guanajuato Mine

Exploration work conducted by Great Panther has consisted almost exclusively of diamond drilling, primarily from underground. In late 2018 with the imminent closure of Guanajuato, the old stopes program was re-initiated using geological staff from Guanajuato being seconded into the Exploration group. This program of geological mapping and sampling was carried out on all accessible levels from November 2018 to July 2019 and will continue as further historical levels are checked and rehabilitated.

Underground exploration sampling since the last technical report (effective date August 31, 2017) until October 31, 2019 totals 5,222 samples. The sampling was done as part of a comprehensive review of historical data, and re-mapping and re-sampling of accessible historical areas to develop zones of interest for targeting by core drilling.

Three underground drill rigs were contracted in May 2019 to begin an aggressive drilling program based on historical and recently acquired data. The drilling program is focused on the upper levels of the mine in the Promontorio, Los Pozos and Valenciana areas.

5.A.6.b San Ignacio Mine

Great Panther has conducted geological and structural mapping, including sampling of outcrops and from exposures in historical underground workings. Subsequently, the Company completed underground development, geological mapping, sampling and selective mining.

Great Panther completed detailed surface mapping and outcrop rock chip sampling, including mapping and sampling all accessible underground workings pre-2014. Further detailed geological structural mapping was completed in 2015 and was ongoing through 2018.

During 2018 and 2019, exploration efforts were focused on both surface and underground drilling at San Ignacio. Mining is on-going in the northern extent of the project along the Nombre de Dios veins, and an exploration / development ramp is being driven south into the old San Pedro mine area, where the Purisima vein system merges with the Melladito vein system. In 2019 surface exploration efforts were focused on both the Nombre de Dios vein extension north, and on the Melladito and Purisima veins orientation in the old San Pedro Mine area.

5.A.7 Drilling

5.A.7.a Guanajuato Mine

Diamond drilling at Guanajuato is conducted under two general modes of operation: one by the exploration staff (exploration drilling) and the other by the mine staff (production and local expansion drilling). Production drilling is predominantly concerned with definition and extension of the known zones, to guide development and mining and is generally carried out to provide additional confirmation of vein location and geometry as the veins tend to regularly pinch and swell.

Exploration drilling is conducted further from the active mining area with the goal of expanding the Mineral Resource base. Drilling results from both programs along with underground drift samples are used in the estimation of Mineral Resources.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 36

Since the start of 2019 exploration staff have made a concerted effort compiling historical data, geological mapping, sampling and drilling to find extensions of various orebodies and new targets for exploration. Drilling to date in 2019 has been focused in the Promontorio, Los Pozos and Valenciana areas.

Exploration drilling is carried out with the use of three underground contract drills. The three contract drills are focused on upgrading mineral resource definition, and in drilling new targets. Upgrading of resources is being carried out at the Los Pozos, Valenciana, and Promontorio zones.

The management, monitoring, surveying, and logging of the current 2010 to 2019 series of UGG prefix exploration holes and production drill holes was carried out under the supervision of the mine geological staff.

Up to mid-2016 all sample and geological data was entered into a DataShed© database via the LogChief software. The GMC geological staff now use an in-house software that loads data directly into Microsoft SQL. The contents of the SQL databases are copied daily to a master SQL database in the Great Panther head office in Vancouver with a backup made every evening.

Assay data files are sent directly from the Cata laboratory into a specific site on the Cata server. Database management personnel take the assays from this site and merge them with the sampling information in the SQL database. The Cata laboratory was managed by SGS until December 31, 2018, and presently by in-house personnel.

5.A.7.b San Ignacio Mine

Great Panther has completed 437 diamond drill holes at San Ignacio. Drilling commenced in October 2010 and the last hole into the database was completed on July 31, 2019. From the total, 278 holes were drilled from surface and 159 from underground.

Drill holes were usually oriented to intersect the veins at a high angle. A total of 148 additional drill holes have been completed at San Ignacio since the previous Mineral Resource Estimate.

The drilling and development programs since 2017 provided the geological information to support a re-interpretation of the mineralized zones. This included the delineation of eight veins in the northern portion of the property between grid line 100N and 1150N where 299 of the 440 holes were completed, and 3 veins in the southern part of the property (San Pedro area) between 100N and 1100S where 124 holes were completed. The eight northern veins demonstrating structural continuity were identified from diamond drill hole intersections, underground mapping and sampling, and to some extent surface mapping. These veins have a demonstrated a strike length of up to 1,000 meters and a dip length of up to 350 meters.

Overall, the core recovery of mineralized zones was excellent averaging 91%. There are no factors related to drilling or sampling that could materially influence the accuracy and reliability of the results.

Procedures related to sample and geological data integrity are consistent with those described for the Guanajuato Mine.

5.A.8 Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security

5.A.8.a Guanajuato Mine

The drill core samples were prepared by technicians working under the direction of the mine and exploration geologists. The exploration diamond drill core is of HQ and NQ diameter while the production holes drilled prior to July 2011 generally have an AQ diameter. During July 2011, a BQ diameter rig (Diamec) was added to the production drilling capacity. Until the end of 2018, most of the analytical work was carried out at an on-site laboratory managed for Great Panther by SGS Group which is located within the confines of the Cata Facility. The laboratory is equipped to perform Aqua Regia digest, fire assay, gravimetric and AAS. The laboratory reverted to Company management at the beginning of 2019, and therefore lost its accreditation that was gained under the SGS Group. The Company has adopted appropriate quality assurance and quality control procedures to compensate. These include sending samples to SGS Group for assay.

Both the Geology Department core shed and the Cata laboratory are located within the Cata Facility which is fenced and guarded around the clock. The site security is consistent with common practical industry standards.

5.A.8.b San Ignacio Mine

All sampling and analytical work was conducted by employees, contractors, or designates of Great Panther.

Sample preparation prior to dispatch to the analytical laboratories consisted of splitting the sample in half by cutting the core using a rock saw. Quality control measures included the insertion of quarter-core duplicates, standard reference materials, and blanks into the sample stream.

Chain of custody was established upon sample collection with the use of unique sample ID, documentation of samples per shipment to the lab, and sign-off forms for receipt of samples by the laboratory.

Prior to dispatch, the samples were stored within the core storage and logging facility located at the Company’s Cata processing plant site.

Until the end of 2018, most of the analytical work was carried out at a laboratory managed for Great Panther by SGS Group which is located within the confines of the Cata Facility. The laboratory is equipped to perform Aqua Regia digest, fire assay, gravimetric and AAS. The laboratory reverted to Company management at the beginning of 2019, and therefore lost its accreditation that was gained under the SGS Group. The Company has adopted appropriate quality assurance and quality control procedures to compensate. These include sending samples to SGS Group for assay.

5.A.9 Mineral Resource Estimates

5.A.9.a Guanajuato Mine

The Guanajuato Mine Mineral Resource Estimate has an effective date of October 31, 2019 and updates the previous resource estimate to reflect depletion due to mining and resource definition resulting from successful exploration activities.

There are no known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political or other factors that could materially affect these Mineral Resource Estimates.

2. Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resources are reported at a full cost cut-off Net Smelter Return (NSR) of US$100/tonne.

3. Totals may not agree due to rounding.

4. Grades in metric units; and contained silver and gold in troy ounces.

5. A minimum mining width of 0.50 meters was used.

6. Mineral Resources are estimated using metal prices of US$15.80/oz Ag and US$1,290/oz Au (based on 3 year back averages); and metallurgical recoveries of 88% for Ag, 87% for Au.

7. 2019 Mineral Resource Ag Eq oz were calculated using 80:1 Ag:Au ratio.  The ratios are reflective of average metal prices for 2019.

The Mineral Resource Estimates for Guanajuato and San Ignacio were completed using MicroMine 3D geological software, and the inverse distance cubed estimation technique was utilized in the estimation of grade to each of the blocks in the block models. An NSR calculator was used to convert block grades into NSR (USD/tonne) values (considering mill recoveries, smelter terms, and designated metal prices). Only blocks with NSR values over the designated full operational cost cut-off were used in the Mineral Resource Estimates.

5.A.10 Mineral Reserve Estimates

There are no Mineral Reserve estimates for the GMC. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The Company made production decisions to enter production at the GMC at both Guanajuato, in 2006, and San Ignacio in 2013. The Company did not base these production decisions on any feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability of the mines. Thus, there may be increased uncertainty and risks of achieving any level of recovery of minerals from the mines at the GMC or the costs of such recovery.  As the GMC does not have established reserves, the Company faces higher risks that anticipated rates of production and production costs will be achieved, each of which risks could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to continue to generate anticipated revenues and cash flows to fund operations from the GMC and ultimately the profitability of these operations.

5.A.11 Mining Operations

5.A.11.a Guanajuato Mine

Guanajuato was placed on a care and maintenance basis as of December 31, 2018 to allow for a focussed exploration program. Limited stoping of remnants and development of ore drifts is ongoing. Guanajuato consists of a series of interconnected, previously independent, mines including Promontorio, Santa Margarita, Rayas, Los Pozos, Cata, Valenciana and Guanajuatito.

Mining at Guanajuato predominantly comprises cut and fill stoping, with some pillar recovery in historic workings, and a few zones where ore extensions are discovered and mined over a period of a few months. Mining is generally more selective using jacklegs. However, where possible, mechanized cut and fill is utilized.

Two main shafts serve access to the active mine areas, while several other old shafts provide ventilation support. The Rayas shaft is used for transportation of personnel and supplies, while the Cata shaft, located just above the processing plant is used to transport the mineralized material for milling. These are currently de-energized and access of men and materials and egress of ore is via the Rayas ramps, San Vicente and Guanajuatito that provide the access at each end of the mine network, including for mobile equipment.

Rock integrity at Guanajuato is considered favorable, but occasionally roof support, in form of rock bolting, and very occasionally wire mesh, is required.

Mining is conducted by contractors, primarily sourced from nearby communities, utilizing equipment owned by the Company and the contractors. Mine contractors and equipment are alternated between the mines, including San Ignacio, to accommodate the mining sequencing.

5.A.11.b San Ignacio Mine

Mining at San Ignacio started in the third quarter of 2013 and commercial production was declared in the second quarter of 2014.

The mining method is mechanized cut and fill, with fill provided by waste development. Jacklegs are used in stopes for vertical to 70 degree production holes, and if necessary the hanging wall can be blasted to create a 2.0 metre wide stope. Forced air ventilation uses electric fans, and sump pumps operate at 50-60 gpm removing mine water. The two electric air compressors deliver 1,000 cfm at 100 psi. The mine’s electric power is supplied by the Mexican national grid.

Mineralized material is trucked to the Cata processing plant using highway rated trucks with 20 tonne payload.

5.A.12 Recovery Methods

Mineralized material from both Guanajuato and San Ignacio is blended and processed at the Cata processing plant at Guanajuato.

The three-stage crushing plant is designed to produce ball mill feed that is less than 3/8 inch in size. Run-of-mine material is passed through a grizzly, into the 1,000 tonne coarse material bin. Oversize is broken manually or with a backhoe-mounted rock-hammer. The coarse material is approximately minus 18 inch material. From the coarse bin the material is taken by an apron feeder and over a vibrating grizzly to the Pettibone (24 inches by 36 inches) primary jaw crusher. The jaw crusher has a closed setting of four inches. A second 500 tonne capacity coarse material bin is available, complete with a smaller crusher to enable separate handling of material if desired.

The flotation section was greatly improved with the installation of five automated Outotec cells in 2012, which replaced the old sections of rougher cells. The flotation products of these cells are sent, according to their quality, to cleaning cells or recirculated with scavenger products and cleaner tails for regrinding. After the cleaning step, the concentrate is sent to the concentrate thickener section and filtered to remove excess water, leaving final average moisture content of 11%. Final product concentrate is transported by highway trucks to the point of sale according to existing contracts.

In addition, a small mill for regrinding was installed in April 2012. The middling products (i.e. cleaning cell tails together with the scavenger products) are reground to liberate the valuable sulfides before being recirculated to the head of the flotation circuit.

Over the last eight years, other improvements include (i) installation of a new electrical substation, (ii) total change of electrical cables, (iii) new tailings pumping system to the tailings dam (fully instrumented), and (iv) the implementation of a single pump station to replace the old system with five pumping stations to reduce electrical consumption.

5.A.13 Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities

The GMC also includes ancilliary infrastructure for senior management, technical services, assay laboratory, warehousing, finance, and other administrative services, and are located adjacent to the Cata processing plant. There are other smaller mine buildings located at San Vicente and San Ignacio.

The GMC enjoys proximity to urban development, including power and road infrastructure. Medical facilities are available at a short distance.

In 2016, the Company entered a voluntary environmental audit program in cooperation with PROFEPA, the compliance arm of the SEMARNAT environmental authority. Following the audit, and identification of improvement areas, a mitigation plan was devised to resolve all outstanding improvements over the next few years. This voluntary program was chosen as a proactive measure to correct any deficiencies during which the Company would enjoy a cooperative relationship with the authority, while limiting its exposure to any new citations and penalties.

In a February 2016 meeting, CONAGUA, required that the Company make formal applications for permits associated with the occupation and construction of the TSF at the GMC. Following the meeting, the Company filed its applications and CONAGUA carried out an inspection of the TSF and requested further technical information which the Company submitted. In December 2017, the Company also filed with the Mexican environmental permitting authority, SEMARNAT, an amendment to the environmental impact statement reflecting the proposed normal TSF construction activities. This is under review by the regulator, and once approved, will satisfy a requirement by CONAGUA for the processing of its permits. The Company believes its current tailings footprint can be maintained and can support operations at the GMC from 1.5 years from January 1, 2020. The Company also believes, based on its meetings and other communication with CONAGUA, that it will be able to obtain all the above noted permits as required, with no suspension of the GMC operations. While the Company is confident that it will obtain the tailings permits, the Company cannot provide complete assurance that it will complete the review process with CONAGUA without any actions that may suspend its operations. The Company cannot assure that the tailings permits will be obtained or renewed on reasonable terms, or at all. Delays or a failure to obtain such required permits, or the issuance of permits on unfavourable terms or the expiry, revocation or failure by the Company to comply with the terms of any such permits, if obtained, could limit the ability of the Company to expand the tailings facility and could adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue operating at the GMC. In either case, the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected.

In June 2016, the Company filed a request for authorization to discharge wastewater in San Ignacio. The authority conducted a technical visit in November 2016. In April 2018, the authority requested additional information, which the Company promptly submitted. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company received the authorization to legally discharge wastewater from San Ignacio.

5.B. TOPIA

5.B.1 Topia Mine

Effective February 18, 2004, the Company entered into an option agreement, which granted it the right and option, for a term of one year, to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to all the fixed assets, machinery, equipment (including the mill, buildings, offices, houses and quarters for the workers) and Topia Mining Concessions located in the Municipality of Topia, state of Durango, Mexico from Compañía Minera de Canelas y Topia, as optionor, by making cash payments totalling $1.7 million. The Company completed the cash payments on exercise of the option in February 2005. In addition to the payments to the optionor, the Company agreed to assume debt encumbering the property totalling $0.8 million upon signing of the purchase agreement. The debt owing was secured by Topia’s assets. The balance of the debt was repayable out of production from concentrate sales as a 10% NSR royalty. After the debt was repaid, there was no further royalty. The remaining debt balance was fully paid and there are no outstanding conditions to retain title to the property.

The Company has mineral rights covering the operating mines and associated properties. The Company has surface rights for the land on which the plant sits and agreements for the properties covering the operating mines and tailings facilities.

Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 45

5.B.3 Project Description, Location and Access

Great Panther holds a 100% interest in Topia through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, MMR.

Topia is situated in the Sierra Madre, around the town of Topia, Durango State, Mexico, approximately 235 kilometres northwest of the city of Durango. Ground access is provided via 350 kilometres of paved and gravel road, travelling north from the city of Durango, via Highway 23 to Santiago Papasquiaro, and then west to Topia. Total travel time by road is approximately eight hours. Small aircraft flights from Culiacán and Durango service the town of Topia daily.

The property encompasses 53 contiguous concessions that total approximately 6,686 hectares. The Topia mill and office complex is located at approximately 25° 12' 54" N latitude and 106° 34' 20" W longitude.

The Topia area lies within the Sierra Madre Occidental (“SMO”), in a remote region of rugged terrain. Hillsides are quite steep with elevations ranging from 600 masl up to over 2,000 masl.

The climate is generally dry for most of the year, with a wet season from June to September, during which time 200 millimetres to 500 millimetres of rain may fall. The annual mean temperature is 17°C, but winters can be cool with frosts and light snow, particularly at higher elevations. Exploration and mining work can be conducted year-round.

Vegetation consists of thickly inter-grown bush, comprising mesquite, prickly pear, nopal and agave, giving way to pine and oak forest at higher elevations.

Land use in the area is predominantly mining, forestry and agriculture.

5.B.4 History

Mining in the region predates European colonization and was first reported in the Topia area in 1538. The first mineral concessions were granted at Topia in the early 1600s.

Production from Topia during the period spanning the latter portion of the 19th century until the Mexican Revolution in 1910 was reportedly between $10 million and $20 million. This is estimated to have been the equivalent of between 15 million and 30 million ounces of silver.

Compañía Minera Peñoles SA (“Peñoles”) acquired the mines in the district in 1944 and completed the construction of a flotation plant in 1951. Peñoles operated at Topia from 1951 to 1990 when the operations were sold to Compañía Minera de Canelas y Topia which carried on operations privately until 1999 when the mine was shut down due to low metal prices. Production for the period 1952 to 1999 totalled 17.6 million ounces of silver and 18,500 ounces of gold.

The Company acquired Topia in 2004 as noted in 5.B.1. During the second half of 2005, Great Panther refurbished and recommissioned the mill and gradually increased the throughput at the plant. At the end of 2005, the mine was put back into production, after having been on care and maintenance for the prior six years. Since 2005, the Company has undertaken the rehabilitation of many of the mines in order to re-access the Argentina, La Dura, Don Benito, El Rosario, San Gregorio, San Miguel, San Jorge, La Prieta, Cantarranas, Animas, Oliva, Las Higueras, San Pablo, Oxi, Oxidada and Recompensa veins and resample parts of the veins as part of a due diligence on sampling carried out by Peñoles. This resampling, combined with the sampling carried out by Peñoles, forms a partial basis for the current Mineral Resource estimate.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 46

Since 2006, underground exploration and production channel samples have been collected by Great Panther from all stopes and development drifts. This work included new development along the San Gregorio, El Rosario, Cantarranas, Don Benito, Las Higueras, San Pablo, Oxi, Oxidada, La Prieta and Recompensa veins. Exploration diamond drilling programs have targeted the various vein structures.

5.B.5 Geological Setting, Mineralization and Deposit Types

The Topia district lies within the SMO, a north-northwest-trending belt of Cenozoic-age rocks extending from the US border southwards to approximately 21°N latitude. The belt measures roughly 1,200 km long by 200 km to 300 km wide. Rocks within the SMO comprise Eocene to Miocene age flows and tuffs of basaltic to rhyolitic composition with related intrusive bodies. The property is underlain by a kilometre-thick package of Cretaceous and Tertiary andesite lavas and pyroclastic rocks which are, in turn, overlain by younger rhyolitic flows and pyroclastics. The volcanic sequence is transected by numerous faults, some of which host the mineralized veins in the district. There are two sets of faults: one striking 320° to 340° and dipping northeast and the other striking 50° to 70° and dipping steeply southeast to vertically. The northeast-trending faults are the principal host structures for precious and base metal mineralization.

The mineral deposits at Topia are adularia-sericite-type, silver-rich, polymetallic epithermal veins. Silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization is found in fissure-filling veins along sub-parallel faults. Mineralization within the veins consists mainly of massive galena, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite in a gangue of quartz, barite, and calcite. The vein constituents often include adularia and sericite, and the wider fault zones contain significant proportions of clay as both gouge and alteration products.

Ore minerals occur as cavity-filling masses, comprising millimetre-scaled crystals of galena and sphalerite. No definitive metal zoning has been discerned, but the lower parts of the mines are reported to contain higher gold content than at higher elevations.

The veins range in thickness from a few centimetres to three metres. They are very continuous along strike, with the main veins extending more than four kilometres. The Madre vein has been mined for 3.5 kilometres and the Cantarranas vein for 2.4 kilometres. Many of the other veins have been mined intermittently over similar strike lengths. Vertically, the veins grade downward to barren coarse-grained quartz-rich filling and upwards to barren cherty quartz-calcite-barite vein filling. The main host rock is andesite of the Lower Volcanic Series, which is usually competent, making for generally good ground conditions within the mine. In wider sections, with greater clay content and/or zones of structural complexity, ground conditions are less favourable.

5.B.6 Exploration

Exploration work carried out at Topia by Great Panther has comprised diamond drilling, chip sampling, mapping, and underground development. The underground drilling from 2006 to 2014 was focused on short term production and local expansion of the mineralized veins in all mining areas at Topia. Typically, these include interpretation of fault offsets, gaining a better understanding of multiple splays from the primary veins, and a better understanding of grade/width of veins before exploitation. Underground drilling re-commenced in July 2018 and is ongoing as of the date of this AIF.

5.B.7 Drilling

Great Panther has been diamond drilling at Topia since 2004. Drill programs were planned and supervised by personnel employed by the Company, its subsidiaries, and/or contractors. The surface drilling programs conducted from 2004 to 2012 and in 2017 were carried out under contract. Underground drill programs were carried out by Topia drillers. Core logging and collar surveys were carried out by Great Panther personnel. All surface holes are NQ-size, although some surface holes were collared as HQ (6.35 cm diameter) and reduced to NQ. Underground drill holes are A size core.

Core logs, sample intervals, and surveys are entered into a Microsoft SQL database using a proprietary logger. The database is managed and validated by Great Panther mine staff, with the assistance of exploration personnel based in Vancouver.

The core logging and sampling is carried out within a fenced compound at the mill site. Access to the core is restricted to Great Panther employees or contractors. The core shack and sampling facility are adequately equipped and secure. Core recovery in those sections reviewed by the Topia Qualified Person was appropriate, and the sampling was done correctly.

5.B.8 Sampling, Analysis and Data Verification

Sampling comprises both diamond drill and channel samples. Drill holes provide a reliable indication of the vein locations but drifting and raising on vein was required to fully evaluate the quantity and grade of the Mineral Resources.

The channel sampling was conducted either across the back or at waist height across the drift face using a hammer and moil. The protocol for sample lengths was that they were to be no longer than two metres. Sample spacing was in the order of 1.5 metres to 2.5 metres in the more densely sampled areas. The veins tend to be very steeply dipping to vertical, and so these samples are reasonably close to representing the true width of the structure.

The channel samples were processed and assayed at the Topia laboratory. Samples were dried, crushed in two stages, riffle split and pulverized. A sample was taken from the pulp and weighed, while the rest was kept in storage. Samples were analyzed for gold and silver by fire assay and gravimetric finish, or for base metals by atomic absorption.

Diamond drill core samples were marked on the core by geologists. Samples did not cross lithological limits and their lengths were constrained to within a minimum of 10cm and a maximum of two metres. Mineralized structures and the material adjacent to them were always sampled. For sets of veins with less than five metres separation, the material between veins was sampled entirely. Samples were taken using a diamond saw to split the core. The samples were prepared at the Topia laboratory.

The total database encompasses three components: diamond drilling, production channel sampling, and the historical development channel sampling completed by the former owner, Peñoles. All three datasets were variably used in the modeling of the various veins and vein splays. Peñoles data in certain mines were minimal.

In the opinion of the Qualified Person at the time, the sampling at Topia was conducted in an appropriate fashion using techniques that are commonly used in the industry. The samples were properly located and oriented and were representative of the mineralization. Assaying is being conducted using conventional methods, in facilities that are properly configured and managed. Performance of the laboratory is being monitored by both internal QA/QC protocols and comparison with an external laboratory.

All phases of the sampling, transport and assaying were carried out under the supervision of Great Panther authorized personnel or authorized contractors. The Topia lab and core handling facility are enclosed within the mill compound, which was constantly supervised and reasonably secure. The sample preparation, analysis, and security procedures at Topia were adequate and consistent with common industry standards.

The resources were estimated from seven area-specific block models. A set of 52 wireframes representing the mineralized zones (veins) served to constrain both the block models and data subsequently used in Inverse Distance Cubed (ID3) gold, silver, lead and zinc grade interpolations. Each block residing at least partly within one of the 52 wireframes received a grade estimate.

5.B.10 Mineral Reserve Estimates

There are no Mineral Reserve estimates for Topia.

5.B.11 Mining Operations

Topia consists of several mines, which comprise Argentina, 15-22, San Miguel, 9 North, San Juan, Recompensa, Hormiguera, El Rosario, La Prieta, El 80, and Durangueno.

Mining at Topia generally consists of development along very narrow veins. Mining is selective using jacklegs, however, where possible, mechanized cut and fill is deployed. All mines are accessed via adits and ramps, although internal passes are constructed to access the upper and lower ore zones. Rock integrity at the mines at Topia is considered favorable, but on rare occasions roof support, in the form of rock bolting, and occasionally wire mesh, is required.

Mining is conducted by contractors and in-house miners sourced from nearby communities and outside cities, and utilizes equipment owned mostly by the Company. Mine contractors and equipment are alternated between the mines to accommodate the variations in production plans.

For the narrower veins at Topia, mining is conducted by overhand cut and fill stoping with resuing to selectively mine the mineralized material separate from the waste to minimize dilution. Drilling is performed with jackleg drills and mineralized material is hand mucked in the stope and dropped down timber crib muck passes which are developed upwards as the stoping advances. Mineralized material is hand sorted at the face so that only the higher-grade material is removed from the stope. Worker access and ventilation is provided in timber crib man-ways adjacent to the muck passes. The level interval for the stopes is typically 40 m.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 49

The use of ground support in the small tunnels and narrow stopes is infrequent as the small headings require little support.

From the muck passes the mineralized material is pulled via manual chutes, loaded into small rail cars and hand trammed to a stockpile at the portal. At the surface ore stockpile, the mineralized material may again be hand sorted to remove waste material. The mineralized material is then picked up by front end loader and loaded into highway-style 10 ton to 20 ton capacity dump trucks to be hauled to the mill.

Along the Argentina and Don Benito veins, in the Argentina and 15-22 Mines respectively, there are significant areas with vein widths ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 metre. In these wider areas, mechanized cut and fill mining is applied with resuing to control ore dilution with waste. Mobile equipment used includes small 2 cubic yard LHDs for development and 1 cubic yard and 0.5 cubic yard LHDs for mucking in the stopes. Development access is provided via decline. Ground support consists of rock bolts and mesh as required.

Sublevels are 40 metres apart in the mechanized cut and fill areas. Waste is either generated from material beside the vein, which is blasted separately from the mineralized material, or elsewhere from waste development within the mine to remain as backfill.

Lifts in the mechanized cut and fill stope are taken with horizontal holes (breasting) instead of drilling uppers (which is more productive) since it generates a ragged back leading to problems with ground support.

Mineralized material is hauled from the mechanized cut and fill stopes by LHD and then loaded into a truck for haulage to the mill.

5.B.12 Processing and Recovery Operations

The mill employs conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation to produce lead and zinc sulfide concentrates. The operation normally runs seven days a week, 24 hours per day, with a weekly maintenance shift. The conventional wet tailings handling system was transitioned to dry stack by construction of a filtration facility that commenced operation in 2017.

5.B.13 Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities

Topia is a relatively small town of approximately 3,500 people. However, a good portion of the population has worked in mining and there is a good local source of labour. The town is serviced by road, chartered air service, power grid, telephone, and a high-speed microwave communication system. There are restaurants, hostels, and medical services; however there are no banks or automated banking machines. Great Panther uses a microwave point-to-point service for telephone and internet, and also maintains fixed telephone lines for redundancy. Water is available from numerous springs, streams and adits.

The surface and underground infrastructure at Topia includes the following:

· Extensive underground workings;

· Multiple adits from surface as well as raises, drifts, cross-cuts, sub-levels and ramps;

· Mine ventilation, dewatering and compressed air facilities;

· Conventional and mechanized underground mining equipment;

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 50

· Mine, geology, processing and administrative offices;

· A flotation concentrator with surface bins, crushing facilities, grinding mills, flotation cells and concentrate dewatering circuit;

· A tailings filtration and dry stack storage facility; and

· Connection to the national grid for the supply of electric power.

There are no known environmental liabilities associated with the mineral claims, other than the provision recognized on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position for the estimated present value of future reclamation and remediation associated with the future retirement of Topia.

All permits are in place for Topia, the latest being the permit issued by SEMARNAT in December 2017 for use of the Phase II TSF for deposition of filtered tailings. Phase II is a dry stack operation using filter cake with an underdrainage system to assist in removing water from Phase I. The deposition includes stacking and compaction of the material.

Phase I of the TSF was closed and contoured during 2018. Based upon recommendations from an independent consulting firm, three additional instrumentation stations in the footprint of the TSF were put in place in 2019 for the purposes of continuous monitoring.

An independent consulting firm will continue to perform an annual review of Phase I, as well as conduct geotechnical reviews and provide design considerations for Phase II.

On March 9, 2020, the Company announced it had temporarily ceased tailings deposition at its Topia Phase II TSF following receipt of a report on the TSF from the independent tailings management and geotechnical consultants engaged by the Company to evaluate the TSF. The report recommended that stacking of tailings of the Phase II area of the TSF be discontinued based on evidence of mass movement underlying Phase I and Phase II of the TSF. Mining and processing activities are expected to continue uninterrupted until the end of April 2020, with tailings being deposited at alternative temporary locations.

The Company is continuing discussions with geotechnical consultants regarding ongoing observations and assessments, while monitoring ongoing conditions at the TSF. The Company is implementing precautionary measures to mitigate the risk of movement of the TSF material, including notification and relocation of certain inhabitants who moved back to live below the TSF after having previously been relocated away from the TSF. Alternatives to minimize any potential cessation of processing activities in 2020 are being evaluated, including re-commencement of tailings deposition at the Phase II TSF (if satisfactory mitigation measures can be achieved), and prioritizing of permitting for the Phase III TSF. Phase III is on top of the old Peñoles TSF and the stacking of filtered tails would also form part of the remediation work required for this TSF. As at the date of this AIF, the Company expects it can obtain the necessary permit within the next three to six months, but cannot provide complete assurance. Both of the Phase II (if available) and Phase III TSFs have dry stacking capacity for several years. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to resume depositing tailings at Phase II.

If the aforementioned alternatives are not in place by the end of April, mill processing activities will temporarily cease until either Phase III is permitted or suitable mitigation of Phase II can be achieved.

Reviews by the regulatory authorities dating back to 2015, coupled with permitting work undertaken by the Company in connection with the expansion of the Topia TSF, have led to a broader review by the PROFEPA and by the Company of the permitting status for all of Topia operations, environmental compliance (including the historical tailings dating back to periods prior to Great Panther’s ownership) and a clarification of land titles. Devised as a cooperative management strategy, Topia was accepted into a voluntary environmental audit program supported by PROFEPA which commenced during the second quarter of 2017. The Company is working on a compliance program authorized by PROFEPA to address the audit findings and has until January 2021 to complete this. This compliance program includes remediation, and technical reviews as defined by the audit. Progress updates will be submitted to PROFEPA for further review. The Company anticipates that it will be able to achieve full compliance..

5.B.15 Production, Exploration and Development

5.B.15.a Production

The Company has established a Life of Mine (“LOM”) estimate for Topia of 4.0 years as at December 31, 2019 for the purposes of depleting the current mineral inventory. This LOM estimate does not take into account any additional resources which may be discovered through recent and future exploration drilling. The Company re-evaluates its LOM estimate on an annual basis. The Company will commence reclamation and remediation at Topia shortly before the end of its mine life and carries a provision of $4.7 million to cover these costs. The provision is based on a closure cost estimate discounted to present value. If no further resources are defined, reclamation and remediation at Topia are anticipated to commence in 2024 and continue through to 2047. However, the timing and amount of reclamation and remediation is subject to future changes in the LOM estimate. For example, the addition of resources through recent and future exploration drilling could extend the LOM estimate.

During 2018 and 2019, 1.5 million Ag eq oz and 1.8 million Ag eq oz, respectively, were produced at Topia. For 2020, the Company has not provided any production outlook or guidance due to the matter regarding the TSF noted in 5.B.13.

¹ Milling opverations at Topia were suspended for the duration of the first quarter of 2017. Tonnes milled and metal produced were incidental and related to the testing of plant upgrades. Consequently, cost per tonne milled, cash cost, cash cost per Ag eq oz, AISC and ASIC per Ag eq oz, are not meaningful (“nm”) for this period.

5.C.4 History

Anglo American Plc discovered a mineralized shear zone in 1994, undertook extensive exploration between 1995 and 2002, and through AngloGold, completed an Feasibility Study (“FS”)of the oxide Mineral Resources in October 2002.

In May 2003, Tucano was acquired by EBX Gold Ltd (EBX). EBX carried out a FS for the oxide mineral resources and a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for mining the sulphide mineralization.

In January 2004, Tucano was acquired by Wheaton River Minerals Ltd (which later merged with Goldcorp Inc (Goldcorp) in 2005). Mine construction began in July 2004, with the first gold poured in late 2005. Goldcorp sold Tucano to Peak Gold Limited in April 2007.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 56

The operation did not reach the predicted gold production due to issues related to the clayey nature of the saprolite mineralization. In response, metallurgical test work was conducted during 2007 to investigate the potential improvements of installing a wash-plant to remove fines and clays to improve heap percolation. Given that the results from the test work were inconclusive, and considering the relative amount of oxide resource available, the plans for an integrated wash-plant and oxide and sulphide milling circuit were put aside in favour of a milling and carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuit to treat predominantly sulphide, and remnant oxide material.

Tucano was later operated by Mineração Pedra Branca do Amapari, a company created in 2003 by EBX, as a heap leach operation until January 2, 2009, when it was placed on care and maintenance due to the inability to treat transition material (not fully oxidized) in the deeper portions of the pits.

Until the closure of Tucano in 2009, mining operations extracted 8.8 (Mt) of ore from four areas, Tap AB (pits 1, 2, and 3), Tap C, Tap D, and Urucum. Total gold production from the heap leach operations was approximately 316,000 ounces of gold.

In 2010, Beadell, through Beadell Brasil, a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired Tucano and commenced construction of a CIL plant to augment the existing process infrastructure. Mining and stockpiling of ore commenced in 2011 and the CIL plant was commissioned in November 2012. Beadell upgraded the plant from 2018 to 2019 including a ball mill, pre-leach thickener, leach tank, and oxygen plant.

Great Panther acquired Tucano in March 2019 and holds a 100% interest.

5.C.5 Geological Setting, Mineralization and Deposit Types

The South American Precambrian Shield comprises approximately 50% of the bedrock in Brazil and consists of major Proterozoic deformation zones surrounding cratonic nuclei of Archean age. The three principal cratons are the Guyana Craton in the north, the Amazon (or Guapore) craton immediately south of the Amazon River, and the São Francisco Craton situated between the Amazon Craton and the coast. The cratons are mostly a granite gneiss complex including some highly metamorphosed supracrustal belts, of which greenstone belts represent a small portion. Remoteness and lack of outcrops due to deep weathering prevent detailed stratigraphic and structural mapping across most of the greenstone belts. However, stratigraphic and structural elements typical for greenstone belts worldwide are well recognized in most South American examples.

The mineralization at Tucano occurs in a series of deposits over a seven-kilometre strike length associated with a north-south trending shear zone occurring coincident with a north-south line of topographic ridges. From south to north, these deposits have been named Tap A, B, C, and Urucum. Tap D is a separate structure in the west. Higher grades are associated with the more intensely hydrothermally altered rocks.

Deep weathering is present in most of the deposits with high grade mineralization extending to the surface through a layer of colluvium several metres thick. Gold mineralization can be found in the fresh rock at depth, in the saprolite zone created by in-situ weathering of the underlying rocks, and in colluvial deposits which overlie the saprolite mineralization as a blanket, spreading out over the hill slopes.

Sulphide zones follow shear plane foliation, often crosscutting the BIF and other host meta-sediments and as bedding parallel lenses dipping either east or west along the limbs of the folded BIF units. Outside the shears and faulted zones, host rocks are poor in sulphide and gold. The accumulation of auriferous massive and/or disseminated sulphides in zones of fractures and folds, and forming plunging mineralized shoots, often crossing lithological contacts, suggests an epigenetic event.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 57

The gold mineralization at the Urucum and Tap AB deposits is observed to be related to elevated abundances of pyrrhotite that occurs in both stratiform and cross-cutting relationships with the host rocks. The primary host rock has been a Banded Iron Formation (BIF), with other host rocks containing lesser quantities of gold.

Digital interpretations of the distribution of the gold mineralization for the Urucum and Tap AB deposits were prepared by RPA using Seequent Limited’s Leapfrog software package. The mineralization wireframes were created using a nominal cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au across a minimum width of three metres to align with the cut-off grade and minimum width criteria that are currently being employed by the Mine staff for establishing the ore/waste dig packets at the Urucum deposit.

Review of the resulting contoured grade longitudinal sections for the selected lodes at the Urucum deposit suggests that, in general, the higher gold grades occur as small pockets up to a few tens of metres in size. In places, these higher-grade pockets are contained within broader, lower grade zones which locally exhibit shallow northerly plunges. Flat-lying plunges, and steep southerly plunges are also suggested on a more local scale.

The down-plunge limits of many of the higher-grade mineralized shoots at Urucum do not appear to be defined by drilling in the wireframes examined.

Examination of the grade distribution for wireframe S03 of the Tap AB deposit reveals that this wireframe has been systematically evaluated by diamond drilling at a spacing of approximately 50 m x 50 m to a depth of approximately 200 m below the current mining surface. The density of drill hole and sample information increases at shallow levels where information from grade control drilling programs is available. The drilling has identified several zones of elevated gold grades. In general, these higher-grade zones appear to be oriented along a moderate to steep north plunge. The higher-grade zones located immediately below the mining surface in the AB 1 portions of the zone occur as pods approximately 25 m to 50 m in size.

The down-plunge limits of many of the higher-grade mineralized shoots within the S03 wireframe of the Tap AB deposit do not appear to be defined by drilling in the wireframes examined.

5.C.6 Exploration

Exploration work on the property by previous operators includes geological mapping, rock and soil sampling, ground and airborne geophysical surveys, petrophysics, and diamond drilling with detailed core logging. The focus of the exploration programs has been towards identifying and delineating mineralized gold zones for subsequent production activities. Additional exploration activities have been carried out elsewhere on the property to evaluate selected exploration targets for their potential of hosting new gold mineralized zones.

5.C.7 Mineral Resources

The Mineral Resources for Tucano include contributions from four deposits as well as material contained within various stockpiles present throughout the property. The Mineral Resources from these four deposits are composed of mineralized material that is envisioned to be extracted by both open pit and underground mining methods. Gold mineralization is contained within oxidized lithologies as well as their fresh, un-weathered equivalents.

Updated grade-block models were prepared for the open pit component of the Urucum deposit, as well as the open pit and the underground component of the Tap AB deposit using drill hole, sample information, and topography that was current as of September 30, 2019. The underground component of the Mineral Resource estimate for the Urucum North deposit was prepared from a grade-block model that used the drill hole and sample information that was current as of November 2, 2015. Drilling completed since the 2015 was reviewed and in RPA’s opinion does not materially impact the Mineral Resource estimate.

7. Average metallurgical process recovery: 93%.

8. Bulk density is 2.19 t/m³.

9. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

As of the effective date of the MRMR, after adjustments for mining depletion since June 30, 2017, Mineral Reserves are estimated to be approximately 646,000 gold ounces, a decline of approximately 489,000 gold ounces relative to the June 30, 2017 estimate. Mineral Resources (excluding Mineral Reserves) declined by approximately 500,000 gold ounces. Based on a preliminary analysis of the updated Mineral Reserve estimate (without consideration of resource conversion or underground mining), the Company estimates that its current open pit Mineral Reserves will continue to be mined to the fourth quarter of 2021.

Mining Operations

Open Pit Mining

The Mine is a mature open pit mining operation in a steady state of mining production. The operations are sufficiently established to provide the basis of much of the technical and economic inputs required for this study.

Individual pit shell selection was made based on a gold price of US$1,250/oz Au for Urucum Central South and Urucum Central North, US$1,350/oz Au for Tap AB 1, Tap AB 3 and Duckhead, US$1,450/oz Au for Urucum North and Urucum East, and US$1,500/oz Au for Urucum South. These pit shells were used to guide the ultimate pit design.

The mine planning block model is based on the resource model regularized to the minimum practical size dig block (i.e., selective mining unit), that can be selectively excavated by mining equipment currently employed on site. Each block in the regularized model contains the quantities of diluted mineralized tonnes and grades including the tonnages of mining dilution and ore loss, where ore loss (%) = 100% - mining recovery (%). Mining dilution comprises internal dilution inherited during the model regularization and external (contact) dilution resulting from geological/geometric contacts with waste rock.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 61

Geotechnical and pit design parameters are based on data, information, and results from previous geotechnical studies and incorporate the pre-split drilling and controlled blasting. There is a risk that the failure to attain the design pit slopes could result in pit wall instability and the loss of ore at the pit bottom.

All pits have been designed with 4 m operating bench heights. To maximize ore selectivity and minimize dilution, it is expected that ore will be mined on 4 m benches.

The catch-berms in fresh rock are stacked at 24 m intervals (Urucum) and 20 m intervals (other pits). It is believed that it may be possible in some higher elevation areas to mine fresh waste rock on 8 m or 12 m high benches, which is more cost effective and may facilitate higher pit sinking rates in terms of vertical metres per year. This is considered a future opportunity that has not been incorporated into the base case mine plan.

The ultimate pit design contained sufficient run-of-mine (ROM) quantities to support a 10,000 tonnes per day (tpd) processing rate proposed to achieve by late 2021. ROM quantities and plant feed estimates are based on Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources. The open pit Mineral Reserves are included in eight pits, with two largest pits, Urucum and Tap AB containing 95% of the total open pit Mineral Reserves. Oxide ore contributes 22% of the total open pit ore mined. The LOM average strip ratio is 6:1.

Mine waste dumps are located adjacent to the pits, to minimize hauling requirements. Waste dumping platforms are laid out to facilitate dump re-sloping at mine closure.

The LOM production schedule has been prepared quarterly based on the mining activities commencing in Q4 2019. The pit production is founded on mining the ultimate pit bench-by-bench without phases or subdivisions. The LOM pit mining rate averages approximately 66,000 tpd and includes both mineralization and waste material.

OPEN PIT LOM PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 62

The plant feed comprises the ROM ore from the pit and from the stockpiles. The pit ROM production is projected to be a direct feed to the crusher, complemented with the ROM from the stockpiles re-handled on as needed basis.

The contract-operated mining is carried out using conventional open pit methods, consisting of the following activities:

· Drilling performed by conventional production drills.

· Blasting using emulsion explosives and a downhole delay initiation system.

· Loading and hauling operations performed with hydraulic shovel, front-end loader, and rigid frame and articulated haulage trucks.

Open pit mining is currently being undertaken by a mine contractor U&M, one of the largest mining contractors in Brazil. The mining operations are based on the use of hydraulic excavators and a haul truck fleet engaged in conventional open pit mining techniques. Excavated material is loaded to trucks and hauled to either the ROM, ore stockpiles, or the waste dump.

The Company’s personnel monitor the mining contractor and provide engineering support including survey and grade control. Operations run 24 hours per day, seven days a week, on an eight-hour shift rotation. The open pit is scheduled to operate 365 days per year, 24 hours per day and the U&M work schedule utilizes four crews working eight-hour shifts.

Equipment productivity and utilization factors and equipment operating hour estimates are based on seasonal conditions (dry, transitional, or wet season during the calendar year), rock type, and various mining conditions including different bench mining width and ramp width.

The mine manpower at the end of September 2019 is estimated at approximately 1,500 employees. This includes owner’s and contractor’s workforce. The ongoing pit operations will require this level of manpower for most of the next two years.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 63

Open pit operating costs are estimated to average BRL13.35/t mined ($3.51/t moved at a BRL/US$ exchange rate 3.8:1) and includes owner and contract mining operating costs. The cost is estimated based on material quantities and unit costs supplied from existing operations comprised of actual 2019 operating costs, projected operating costs, and the current mining contracted rates. The pit operating cost estimate was developed based on cost for drilling, blasting, loading, and hauling and includes labour costs and costs for consumables (diesel, explosive, parts, etc.).

Underground Mining

The underground mine project is located below the Urucum North open pit. Access would be via a portal located at the north end of the Urucum North pit. A portal on the south would be mined to provide access to the ventilation shaft on the south. The mine layout is based on the following criteria:

• Twin declines accessing the north and south parts of the orebody.

• Portal situated on the north side of the Urucum North open pit.

• North and south exhaust ventilation raises.

• 20 m sublevel interval.

• Stopes accessed by a footwall drive and crosscuts on every sublevel.

• Decline development initiates in Year 1.

• Mine plan targets Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resources down to 500 mRL (750 metres below sea level (mbs)).

Geotechnical data from an infill drill program below the Urucum North Pit indicates that the ground conditions at the Urucum North are suitable for open stoping mining methods. Furthermore, stopes measuring 50 m in length and 20 m in height will be feasible. It will be possible to mine multiple benches simultaneously in the same ore block. As the ore lodes are steeply dipping and relatively narrow, they are suitable for longitudinal longhole open stoping.

Up-hole retreat will be used in the upper levels of the northern part of the mine. This method permits ore production to commence early in the LOM schedule because mining proceeds in a top-down sequence. Moreover, it can achieve high rates of production as backfill is not required in the mining cycle. A disadvantage of the method, however, is that it requires leaving rib pillars for supporting the sidewalls, which results in an 86% ore recovery.

Conventional Avoca will be used for mining the remainder of the orebody. It permits high ore recovery as it does not require leaving pillars along strike. A pastefill plant will not be needed as the method uses rockfill for backfilling. The Tucano site has an abundance of stockpiled waste from open pit mining available as a source of rockfill.

Sill pillars will be left between ore blocks to permit simultaneous production in multiple mining elevations. These pillars will be partially recovered (estimated at 65% recovery) towards the end of the mine life using Up-hole retreat. As additional information about the resource is acquired, it should be possible to reposition some of the sill pillars in low-grade zones.

The mine design uses a 20 m sublevel interval. This sublevel interval favours accurate drilling of longholes, which will help minimize dilution. The ore drives will be 5 m high; consequently, the typical height of an Up-hole Retreat stope or Avoca bench will be 15 m. A minimum mining width of 2.0 m has been assumed.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 64

With assumed skin dilution of 0.5 m from each of the footwall and hanging wall, the actual minimum stope width will be 3.0 m.

The design of the declines allows the mobile equipment to access each of the production levels. Footwall drives and crosscuts on the sublevels provide access to the stopes. The cross-sectional dimensions of the declines and crosscuts will be 5.0 m high x 5.0 m wide, which is adequate for accommodating Volvo AD35 articulated trucks. The ore drives will have a cross-section of 5.0 m high x 4.0 m wide, which is enough for 10-tonne-capacity LHDs as well as the proposed production drill. The trucks will not enter the ore drives.

The following assumptions, based on industry benchmarks, were used to determine the production and development rates and schedules:

• Decline and crosscut advance of 140 m/month.

• Ore drive advance of 60 m/month.

• Production rate from stoping of 10,000 t/month for both Up-Hole retreat and Conventional Avoca.

• Backfilling rate of 12,000 m3 per month per stope for Conventional Avoca.

The schedule is based on operating three development jumbos and two LHDs for both the north and south declines. The annual ore production tonnages vary depending on the number of production fronts that are available in any given year.

5.C.9 Mineral Processing

The new grinding configuration (semi-autogenous grinding mill+ ball mill) has allowed Tucano to increase the percentage of sulphide ore in the overall plant blend without substantially affecting their target throughput. This was done while maintaining the % passing at 75 µm to 85 µm.

The plant was originally designed to run at 3.4 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) considering 90% Sulphide in the blend. The plant blend from May to September 2019 was close to 95% sulphide ore and 5% oxide material and the average annual plant throughput was 3.1 Mtpa, however, this annual figure was affected by lower plant availabilities (i.e. 89%) due to other issues experienced in the plant such as mill grate breakages, power issues and also, issues with the old primary crusher.

The new oxygen plant commissioned in April 2019 has contributed to higher metal recoveries, which resulted in an average gold recovery of 93% from May to December 2019.

5.C.10 Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities

Tucano is currently operating and has all of the required infrastructure to carry on operations. Additional surface infrastructure will be required to support the underground operation.

The remaining TSF capacity is 1,879 Mm3, which is sufficient for eight months from December 2019. The mine plans to extend the tailings storage capacity by commissioning three new TSFs, East Dam, East-NW Extension, and West Pond Phase 2 (WPP2), which together will provide approximately 32 Mm³ of tailings storage.

Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 65

Tucano is in possession of all licences required for the operation of the mine, mill, processing plant, and its TSFs in compliance with Brazilian regulations. There is currently one licence that is in the process of being renewed and is expected by the third quarter of 2020. While in the process of renewal the current licence remains valid.

Continuous monitoring programs are carried out at Tucano, which confirm that there are no material concerns pertaining to non-compliance.

6. ADVANCED-STAGE PROJECTS

6.A. CORICANCHA MINE COMPLEX ("CORICANCHA")

6.A.1 Coricancha Mine Complex

Coricancha is a polymetallic mine that includes a 600 tonne per day flotation and gold BIOX® bio-leach plant along with supporting mining infrastructure. Coricancha has been on care and maintenance since August 2013 when it was closed due to falling commodity prices. The Coricancha property comprises more than 3,700 hectares in the prolific Central Polymetallic Belt and production at the mine dates back to 1906. Gold-silver-lead-zinc-copper mineralization (approximately 80% gold-silver by value) occurs as massive sulphide veins that have been mined underground by cut and fill methods.

The Company’s Peruvian subsidiary, Great Panther Silver Peru SAC (“GP Peru”), completed the acquisition (the “Coricancha Acquisition”) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Nyrstar Coricancha SA from Nyrstar International B.V. and Nyrstar Netherlands (Holdings) B.V., as sellers (together “Nyrstar”) on June 30, 2017 (the “Completion”). Nyrstar Coricancha SA was the 100% owner of the Coricancha gold-silver-lead-zinc-copper mine and mill complex in Peru at Completion.

The Coricancha Acquisition was completed pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) originally dated December 19, 2016, among the Company, GP Peru, Nyrstar and Nyrstar Coricancha SA (the “Original SPA”). The SPA was amended and restated on June 9, 2017 (the “Amended and Restated SPA”) and further amended by agreement dated June 28, 2017 (the “Second Amendment Agreement”).

The legal name of Nyrstar Coricancha SA., was changed to Great Panther Coricancha SA., (“GP Coricancha”) subsequent to the Coricancha Acquisition. In this AIF, Nyrstar Coricancha SA is also referred to as GP Coricancha.

6.A.1.a The SPA

The parties entered into the Amended and Restated SPA in order to incorporate certain amendments to facilitate the reorganization of Nyrstar’s investments in Peru in connection with its planned divestitures. The amendments in the Amended and Restated SPA did not materially impact the terms of the acquisition under the Original SPA. The parties entered into the Second Amendment Agreement in order to defer payment of the initial $0.1 million portion (the “Completion Price”) of the Purchase Price (defined in 6.A.1.c below) from Completion to a date no later than five business days following the receipt of a final cost certificate from the Peruvian tax authority that related to the cost base of Nyrstar’s shares in GP Coricancha. The Second Amendment Agreement also included corresponding agreements relating to certain tax matters.

• the Date of Commencement of Commercial Production will be the date after Completion which is the first day of the first three month period (whether calendar months or otherwise) during which period the average rate of production at Coricancha is at least 400 tonnes per day (with production calculated on the basis of mined material processed through the plant).

The Company will guarantee to Nyrstar the payment by GP Coricancha of the Earn-Out Consideration under the Earn-Out Agreement. To date, no consideration has been paid under the terms of the Earn-Out Agreement.

6.A.1.e Reclamation Agreements

The SPA includes agreements between the Company, GP Peru, GP Coricancha and Nyrstar regarding legacy environmental matters relating to Coricancha. These agreements became effective on Completion and relate to the reclamation of tailings facilities at Coricancha and the funding of the corresponding reclamation costs. These terms include the following material provisions:

• GP Peru will cause GP Coricancha to reclaim the Cancha 1 and Cancha 2 TSF (being part of Coricancha), in accordance with the mine closure plan approved by Ministerio de Energia y Minas of Peru (“MEM”) (the “Cancha Tailings Reclamation Plan”);

• GP Peru will cause GP Coricancha to reclaim the Triana TSF (being part of Coricancha), in accordance with the mine tailings abandonment plan approved by MEM (the “Triana Reclamation Plan”);

• Nyrstar will fund the payment of the Reclamation Costs associated with undertaking the reclamation work required to complete the Cancha Tailings Reclamation Plan and the Triana Reclamation Plan, to a maximum of $20 million; and   

• Nyrstar will advance funds to GP Coricancha to fund the Reclamation Costs on a quarterly basis in accordance with agreed upon mechanics set forth in the SPA.

Great Panther Mining Limited

In addition, Nyrstar has agreed to settle all outstanding fines or sanctions relating to Coricancha, to a maximum of $4.0 million (subject to certain exclusions to which the maximum will not apply).

To date, the Company has completed some of the reclamation work under the Cancha Tailings Reclamation Plan and the Triana Reclamation Plan, and Nyrstar has funded these works in accordance with the SPA.

6.A.1.f Mine Closure Agreement

The Mine Closure Agreement relates to the mine closure bond required to be maintained by GP Coricancha for Coricancha (the “Mine Closure Bond”) in order to comply with the mine closure bond requirements imposed by MEM. Under the Mine Closure Agreement, Nyrstar has agreed to maintain the required Mine Closure Bond up to an amount of $9.7 million for a three year period following Completion (the “Mine Closure Period”). During this Mine Closure Period, GP Coricancha will be responsible for any portion of the Mine Closure Bond required by MEM that is in excess of this $9.7 million amount. In accordance with these obligations, Nyrstar is responsible, at its expense, for providing security for the initial $9.7 million amount of the Mine Closure Bond and GP Coricancha is responsible, at its expense, for providing security for any excess amount.

In the event that GP Coricancha makes a final, irrevocable decision to permanently close Coricancha during the Mine Closure Period, the following will apply:

• Nyrstar will pay to GP Coricancha the amount of $9.7 million in full and final release of its obligations under the Mine Closure Bond (the “Closing Contribution”);

• GP Coricancha will take all steps necessary to establish a new Mine Closure Bond in the amount of $9.7 million;

• Nyrstar will terminate its original Mine Closure Bond in the amount of $9.7 million;

• GP Coricancha will proceed with the mine closure plan for Coricancha secured by the Closing Contribution paid to Coricancha by Nyrstar;

• if the costs of closing Coricancha are less than the Closing Contribution paid by Nyrstar, GP Coricancha will return to Nyrstar the difference; and

• if the costs of closing Coricancha are greater than the Closing Contribution paid by Nyrstar, Coricancha will be responsible for any excess closure costs.

In the event that GP Coricancha does not make a final, irrevocable decision to permanently close Coricancha during the Mine Closure Period, GP Coricancha will make arrangements for the release of the obligations of Nyrstar under its portion of the Mine Closure Bond, which arrangements will be in effect upon expiry of the Mine Closure Period, and Nyrstar will then have no further responsibility or liability in connection with the Mine Closure Bond.Nyrstar will however, retain obligation to fund the payment of the Reclamation Costs associated with undertaking the reclamation work required to complete the Cancha Tailings Reclamation Plan and the Triana Reclamation Plan, to a maximum of $20 million.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 69

In December 2017, the Mine Closure Bond requirement was increased by $1.2 million. This additional amount was funded by GP Coricancha at that time in accordance with the Mine Closure Agreement.

6.A.1.g Parent Company Guarantee of Nyrstar NV

Under the Nyrstar Parent Guarantee, Nyrstar NV has guaranteed to the Company, GP Peru and GP Coricancha, as beneficiaries, the punctual payment and performance by Nyrstar of the obligations of Nyrstar under:

• Clause 2 of the Mine Closure Agreement relating to the obligations of Nyrstar to post the Mine Closure Bond and advance the Closure Contribution, in each case to a maximum of $9.7 million;

• Clause 5(h) of the SPA relating to tax indemnification matters; and

• $20.0 million with respect to the guaranteed obligations under clause 6 of the SPA relating to Reclamation Costs.

The guaranteed obligations with respect to the tax indemnification under clause 5(h) of the SPA will not be subject to the foregoing maximum guaranteed amounts and will be subject to the indemnification provisions of the SPA with respect to these obligations.

The Nyrstar NV guarantee was assigned to a newly incorporated subsidiary of Trafigura in connection with the acquisition by Trafigura of the operating assets of Nyrstar.

6.A.2 Current Technical Report

The information on Coricancha in this section of the AIF is based on the technical report entitled “Technical Report Summarizing the Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Coricancha Mine Complex”, dated July 13, 2018. The technical report was submitted by Golder Associates Inc. as Report Assembler of the work prepared by, or under the supervision of, the following Qualified Persons named as authors: Ronald Turner, MAusIMM CP(Geo); Daniel Saint Don, P. Eng.; and Jeffrey Woods, P.E. (collectively, the “Coricancha Qualified Persons”). The effective date of the report is July 13, 2018.

6.A.3 Project Description, Location and Access

Coricancha is located in the central Andes of Perú in the District of San Mateo, Huarochirí Province, Department of Lima. The mine has been on care and maintenance since August 2013.

The plant and main site office are located adjacent to the Central Highway, 90km east of the city of Lima, next to the Rímac River in an area known as Tamboraque, and adjacent to the confluence of the Rímac River and its tributary, the Aruri River. The plant is located at 3,000 masl, and the mine accesses are located between 3,140 masl and 3,980 masl.

The mine includes 127 mining concessions, one mining transport concession, and one processing concession. All mining concessions are for metallic substances.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 70

By agreement entered into with Biomin Technologies SA (“Biomin”, now owned by Outotec) dated February 5, 1995, Coricancha was granted the right to use BIOX® technology. There are no other agreements or encumbrances known that would affect the current mine.

A 1% NSR royalty in favour of Global Resource Fund is payable on production from most of the mining licences, and a royalty of $1/ounce exists for gold processed using BIOX® technology.

Legacy tailings are stored at Cancha 1 and 2¹ at the Coricancha site – Tamboraque, and at Chinchan Tailings Storage – Phase I.

The property is subject to the following environmental liabilities:

• Coricancha has an approved mining closure plan for mining and processing components, including tailings storage areas Cancha 1 and 2. The closure plan was updated three times to (i) include Chinchan Tailing Storages Phase I and II, (ii) modify the tailings removal of Cancha 1 and 2 and transfer to Chinchan Tailings Storage, and (iii) modify the waste rock dump closure schedule. Coricancha, in the third Closure Plan Amendment (2014), has assumed a total commitment of $10.9 million of closure warranty on behalf of MEM. A process is underway to modify the closure plan as it relates to the handling of some of the remaining tailings. Of this $10.9 million commitment, the previous owner (Nyrstar) has funded $9.7 million while the Company has funded the remaining $1.2 million.

• Coricancha has declared 14 surface waste rock storage sites in its 2010 mining closure plan. Four of them have been reported to have potential economic value. There are an additional four waste dumps that are considered marginal in that the recovered metal content does not cover processing costs, but dealing with them in the plant is cheaper than storage and treatment on surface. In addition, there are six waste dumps that do not have potential for processing. Nevertheless, the 1996 Estudio Impacto Ambiental declared that all waste rock from mine activities would be stored in the underground mine upon final closure. The Company is reviewing alternate solutions to address this issue.

• Other closure liabilities including the plant, roads, infrastructure, legacy waste dumps and tailings storage, mine openings, and mine water management exist. Some of these require further definition and permitting updates.

The estimated present value of reclamation and remediation costs associated with the future retirement of Coricancha is recognized as a provision on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position. This value comprises the provision associated with the mine, the plant, and tailings storage facilities of Coricancha. The cost of removal of Cancha 1 & 2 tailings to store at Chinchan and to restore Triana is the responsibility of Nyrstar to a maximum of $20 million. An alterative to close the Cancha 1 & 2 tailings storage facilities in situ is awaiting permitting.

A number of permits are in place. The following permits would be necessary if the Company decides to advance Coricancha into production:

• The Chinchan TSFs have limited capacity. The Company must develop a balance between the actual allowed and available capacity of Chinchan Phase I and Chinchan Phase II TSFs and the amount of tailings that must be transferred from Cancha 1 and 2, including any future tailings generated from future mining/processing.

¹ Cancha 1 and 2 may also have been referred to as Deposito 1 and 2 in past disclosures regarding Coricancha by other owners.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 71

• Any exploration activities require an Environmental Certificate,. The Company can request an environmental impact declaration, or Declaracion Impacto Ambiental ("DIA") or Estudio Impacto Ambiental semi detailed ("EIA-sd") depending on the extent of work and the potential environmental impact. A DIA could be approved in seven working days, if the permits are for 20 sites or less and if no archeological site is encountered, while an EIA-sd can take an additional 55 working days.

• A future mining plan would likely require new waste dump facilities, which themselves would need to be permitted some time during the life of the operations. These details are presently under study.

6.A.4 History

Coricancha is part of the Viso-Aruri mining district located in the San Mateo District, Department of Lima, Province of Huarochirí, in the central Andes of Peru. Coricancha has been exploited almost continuously since the colonial times. The historical Coricancha mine production for the 60 years prior to 1996 is reported to have ranged from 2,600 to 5,000 tonnes per month.

In late 1995, Coricancha underwent a considerable expansion ofprocess plant capacity from 200 tpd to 600 tpd and the installation of a modern BIOX® plant. After completion of the expansion in 1997, the reported monthly production increased slightly over historic levels, but was not sustainable. The mine was shut down in September 2000 as the owner of Coricancha for the past 45 years, Minera Lizandro Proaño, was forced into bankruptcy due to low metal prices, labour shortages, and operational difficulties in the mine and concentrator.

At the beginning of 2001, Wiese Sudameris Leasing SA, a Peruvian bank which was the major secured creditor, took control of the assets and properties from the bankrupt Minera Lizandro Proaño. Later that year, it entered into an agreement with Peruvian contractor Larizbeascoa & Zapata SAC, to redesign the Coricancha operation.

After the mine reopened in 2002, the monthly production tonnage increased dramatically to 12,500 tpm. The monthly production then decreased to just over 8,000 tpm during the seven months of operation before being shut down in October 2002 by the government due to environmental issues associated with the Mayoc TSF. In November 2002, the Coricancha mine and mill were shut down and put on care and maintenance. A water treatment plant to neutralize the mine water has been in continuous operation.

Gold Hawk Resources Inc. acquired Coricancha in early 2007 and commenced development work, then restarted operations in June of 2007 at a production rate of 600 tpd until operations were suspended again in May of 2008 due to surface ground movement observed on the natural hillside above the nearby TSF.

Nyrstar acquired Coricancha in November 2009, and recommenced operations in late 2010 following construction of a new TSF at the Chinchan location and the addition of a copper circuit. Operations at the plant were temporarily reduced to 30% of capacity in the first half of 2011, due to an increased moisture level and compaction problem at the newly commissioned Chinchan TSF resulting from heavy rainfall. During 2012, milling operations temporarily ceased due to concerns about the storage and planned movement of legacy tailings to the new Chinchan facility. At the end of 2012, as part of cost cutting measures, Nyrstar ceased mining mineralized material from Coricancha’s underground deposits and focused on treating historical tailings before moving the waste material to the tailings pond. In August 2013, operations were halted due to the sustained lower precious metal prices, and Coricancha was placed on care and maintenance.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 72

Exploration by the previous owners was very limited and focused on underground drifting and raising on vein structures. A limited, short-hole diamond drilling program was conducted in 2002.

The first formal documented exploration program was conducted by Nyrstar in 2010 and consisted of field mapping, ground magnetic and induced polarization surveys and diamond drilling.

There have been seven independent Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates prepared for the Coricancha property since 1995. Previous resource estimates (2007, 2009, 2011, and 2013) were prepared using industry standard best practices for exploration and Mineral Resource estimation (i.e., CIM 2003 and CIM 2014) and reported in accordance with internationally recognized guidelines for disclosure of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (i.e. NI 43-101, or JORC). All previous estimates are considered as historical.

6.A.5 Geological Setting, Mineralization and Deposit Types

The regional geology of the Viso-Aruri mining district comprises a package of andesitic volcanic rocks and local basal sedimentary units intruded by monzonite stocks. The Jumasha Formation is found at the base of the Viso-Aruri volcanic sequence and is characterized by tightly folded beds of grey limestone. The limestone outcrops in the Rímac River valley, near the town of San Miguel de Viso.

The approximately 1,500 m thick Rímac Formation overlies the Jumasha limestones and consists of Tertiary-age andesitic volcanics, characterized by alternating layers of massive and porphyritic, grey to greenish-grey-purple andesite. The volcanic beds are approximately 10 m to 40 m thick and are roughly sub-horizontal, dipping slightly to the SW at 15°.

There are two occurrences of intrusive rocks in the area which are thought to have been the source of the polymetallic mineralization, although this has not been confirmed. The first is a small, altered, intrusive stock that has been mapped near the village of Viso on the south side of the mountain (Coricancha is on the north side). The other occurrence consists of the NE-NNE trending, sub-vertical intrusive dikes cutting the volcanic rocks.

The area has been exposed to tremendous structural compression, which has produced a strong regional scale fracturing pattern and allowed the emplacement of the polymetallic mineralization within quartz (Qtz) sulphide veins as fracture filling. Some of the identified features include the NW-SE Pariachaca-Matucana fault, the NS and NNE trending San Pablo and Huamuyo faults, and the NNE-SSE mineralized fracture zones.

The Coricancha property is almost entirely underlain by the Rímac Formation andesitic volcanics. The base of the sequence consists of brecciated volcanics overlain by andesitic flows, agglomerate and tuff towards the top of the Cerro Huamanjune at approximately 4,500 masl elevation.

Mineralization at Coricancha is that of an anastomosing polymetallic quartz vein system where most of the secondary and tertiary veins branch off either from the main vein or the secondary veins, respectively. The overall system trends towards the NE at approximately 15°, and the veins are primarily sub-vertical to steeply NW dipping. It is thought that the anastomosed vein system is part of a larger tectonic shear zone with associated secondary and tertiary tensional veins.

The three main veins on the Coricancha property include the Wellington, Constancia, and Animas veins. These veins define three structurally dislocated blocks from which a series of secondary and tertiary tensional veins split off. The veins are extensive and are known to extend over 4 km along strike and more than 1.5 km down dip.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 73

Typically, the veins show Qtz-clay-pyrite argillic alteration, which extends up to 2.0 m into the footwall and hanging wall of the veins. The alteration does not contain any significant economic mineralization of note.

Coricancha is a polymetallic hydrothermal, brittle low sulphidation deposit hosted in the andesitic rocks of the Rímac Formation. The veins exhibit pinch-swell type behavior typical of hydrothermal systems found within compressional and extensional structural environments. Vein widths reach upwards of 2.0 m, with a mean width of approximately 0.6 m. The veins are known to split into two or more branches separated by waste rock materials.

The mineralization observed at Coricancha typically comprises the following: Pyrite (iron sulphide); Sphalerite (Zn sulphide); Galena (Pb sulphide); Chalcopyrite (Cu-Fe sulphide); Arsenopyrite (Fe-arsenic sulphide); Tennatite (Cu-As sulfosalt); Tetrahedrite (Cu-Fe-Zn-Ag antimony sulfosalt); Native Au; Native Ag; and Quartz.

6.A.6 Exploration

Prior to Nyrstar’s acquisition of Coricancha, exploration was primarily conducted by mining of veins, horizontal tunnels and vertical raises, but no systematic formal exploration activities were completed. The first formal documented exploration program was conducted by Nyrstar in 2010 and consisted of field mapping, ground magnetic and induced polarization (“IP”) surveys and diamond drilling.

6.A.7 Drilling

Prior to 2010 and Nyrstar’s acquisition of Coricancha, no systematic drilling was performed on-site. However, some historical drilling was completed, primarily as short holes. Unfortunately, limited or no records exist related to this drilling. None of the pre-2010 drilling has been included in the geological database or geological model due to the lack of information and inability to confirm this data.

Since 2010, several drilling programs have been completed with the primary focus of verifying the lateral and depth continuity of the main veins including, Wellington, Constancia, Animas and Colquipallana. Nyrstar conducted three independent drilling campaigns in 2010, 2011 and 2013. Drilling programs were also completed in 2015 and 2016 in conjunction with Great Panther. From 2010 to 2016, a total of 83 diamond drill holes, totaling 28,197 m of NQ sized core (47.6 millimetre core diameter) have been drilled within the Coricancha property boundaries. Drill holes were either drilled from surface or underground depending on the target and accessibility.

The results of the drilling programs at Coricancha verify the continuity of the vein system, both laterally and at-depth. The mineralization is shown to extend beyond the previously known limits and has opened up the targets both along strike and at depth.

6.A.8 Sampling, Analysis and Data Verification

The Coricancha core facility is a secure (gated and guarded) facility, with staff and security onsite. The core logging area was arranged to provide areas for logging, core splitting and sampling. Core is stored on covered core racks whilst awaiting logging and sampling; once sampled, the remaining unsampled core was carefully reorganized in the core box and the lids were returned to the boxes before they were transported to the secure core storage facility.

Drill core sampling is conducted in such a manner to ensure that all mineralized intervals are captured and sent to the lab for analysis. Sample intervals are defined such that they do not cross lithological boundaries, with a minimum sample length of 0.35 m and a maximum sample length of 1.5 m.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 74

Core cutting and sample packaging was performed by the Company’s core technicians under the supervision of its geologists. The sealed plastic sample bags were placed in large neoprene rice bags, sealed using zip ties, and labelled clearly to identify the final shipping destination. The full rice bags were stored in a secured and closed room within the core logging facility until a shipment batch was ready for transport. Only designated personnel have access to the storage room. Only employees of the geology area are involved with the sample preparation and sample delivery at the laboratory.

Nyrstar and Great Panther implemented a comprehensive analytical QA/QC program for the drilling and sampling programs, which included the insertion of blind certified reference material (CRM) standards, duplicates and blanks to evaluate analytical precision, accuracy and potential contamination during the sample preparation and analytical process.

Underground chip samples (channel) are collected for grade control and for Mineral Resource estimation purposes. The sample length is defined according to the lithological breaks and vein continuity. Samples are collected from a 5 centimetre (cm) deep by 20 cm wide channel cut perpendicular to the vein direction. The material is typically chipped out of the channel in small fragments and collected into a maximum 2 kilogram (kg) sample. To ensure representative grade continuity, samples are collected at a distance interval of every 10 m along the target vein.

Each 2 kg sample is sealed in a plastic sample bag with a sample tag and the number recorded in indelible ink on the outside of the bag. Sample bags are placed in rice bags and sealed with zip ties. QA/QC samples were inserted at prescribed intervals into the sample sequence and included with the sample shipment.

For both core and channel samples, a sample shipment form is prepared for each sample batch prior to shipping to SGS, detailing the included sample numbers per batch. At the laboratory, the sample list is verified against the received samples to confirm the shipment.

During the 2010 and 2011 drilling programs, Nyrstar sent samples to ALS and to SGS del Perú SA (SGS) in Callao (Lima). As of 2013, all samples were sent to the SGS laboratory in Lima. The SGS laboratory is internationally accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 standard.

The data from drilling, logging and surface/underground sampling programs were reviewed and interpreted independently by Great Panther’s senior geologist and by the Golder Qualified Person. Drill hole lithology and assay data was used to confirm the target intercepts and to reconcile against the surface and underground sampling.

It is the Coricancha Qualified Persons’ opinion that the Nyrstar and Great Panther drilling, core logging and sampling programs were carried out according to appropriate professional methodologies and procedures, including those presented in the CIM Exploration Best Practice Guidelines (August 2000 edition).

Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 76

The Company's QA/QC program includes the regular insertion of blanks, duplicates, and standards into the sample shipments; diligent monitoring of assay results; and necessary remedial actions. Sample assaying was completed at the independent SGS-Lima lab in Lima, Peru. The gold was analyzed by fusion with 30 g fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish, with the resulting values reported in parts per million (code FAA313). The remaining 52 elements were analyzed by mass spectrometry of inductively coupled plasma (ICPMS) and the resulting values were reported in parts per million (code IMC12B). Any gold results that exceeded the limit of detection were re-analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish (code FAG303). Any silver results that exceeded the limit of detection (>10g/t) were re-analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish (code FAG313). Any other metals that exceeded the limit of detection were re-analyzed by ICP-AAS (code AAS11B).

There are no Mineral Reserve estimates for Coricancha.

6.A.10 Mining Operations

Historical mining methods at Coricancha include cut and fill, shrinkage stoping and variations of resue mining techniques. The latter method is highly selective and applied to maximize grade and minimize dilution in narrow vein mines. Mining methods will be the subject of future studies and will consider similar narrow vein methods of extraction.

6.A.11 Processing and Recovery Operations

The current mineral processing flow sheet at Coricancha includes base metal sulfide flotation for the production of Pb, Zn, Cu and arsenopyrite concentrates. Also, differential flotation is used to separate the Au bearing arsenopyrite (AsPy) from pyrite (Py) with subsequent processing by BIOX® and CIL cyanidation for the recovery of Au and Ag. The most recent series of metallurgical test work was completed in 2009 by SGS Lakefield. The goal of the testing program was to optimize the process flow sheet, grind size and reagent scheme. Implementation of the SGS recommendations was completed before restarting plant operations in 2010. Operating data show that the changes were successful in improving the metal recovery, improving base metal concentrate grades and increasing Au production.

Review of the most recent Coricancha operating data indicate that the metallurgical performance of the processing plant is very stable with metal recoveries and concentrate grades being very consistent. Owing to the presence of AsPy, arsenic (As) is present as a deleterious element in most of the flotation products.

The front end of the plant is a base metal polymetallic sulfide concentrator producing Pb, Cu, and Zn concentrates. The process plant was expanded to include production of an AsPy concentrate, which is treated via BIOX® to recover refractory Au via CIL technology. The original plant was designed and commissioned in 1999 to process 600 tpd of ore primarily from the Wellington and Constancia Veins. Operations have been intermittent since then and are currently under care and maintenance status. There are no major modifications or additions required to put the plant back into production.

The final tailings consist of the AsPy/Py flotation tailings, Py concentrate, neutralized BIOX® liquor sludge, CIL residue, and mine dewatering neutralization sludge. These are thickened using the tailings thickeners with the addition of flocculant before final dewatering in the tailings plate and frame filters. The tailings filter cake is shipped to the Chinchan TSF.

6.A.12 Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities

Coricancha is located next to the Central Highway, 90 km east of the city of Lima, adjacent to the Rímac River in an area known as Tamboraque. The mine area is situated near the confluence of the Rímac River and its tributary, the Aruri River. The project infrastructure covers the area of the mining concessions and has the following facilities:

• Crushing and grinding equipment;

• Flotation and bio-oxidation circuits;

• Access road to the mine;

• Historical TSF and waste storage areas;

• Electrical power supply and distribution for the plant and mine, along with power systems including transformers and electrical distribution cables from historical mining activities;

• Water and compressed air distribution systems;

• Utility water is available for the mine and plant;

• Communications Systems (internet based);

• Mine light rail haulage network;

• Camp and kitchen facilities for mine and plant personnel; and

• First aid facilities/Mine rescue equipment.

Future plans will consider the use of the existing facilities as well as the need for additional infrastructure.

Coricancha has all environmental permits and operation licenses required such as an environmental impact assessment ("EIA"), water supply licenses, mining effluents discharge authorization, certificate of inexistence of archaeological remains, and operation and concession licenses.

A recent environmental monitoring review identified some deficiencies which are being addressed as detailed below.

Cancha 1 and 2 TSFs represent the most important environmental and social risk for Coricancha. This is due to their location (130 m from Rímac River and 50 m above) and the fact that the Rímac River is a source for Lima’s water. To manage that risk, following ground instability in 2008 above the tailings site, MEM ordered the tailings removed and transferred from Cancha 1 and 2 to Chinchan TSF (Phase I and II). To date, the Company has removed a significant portion of the tailings. The Company is seeking approval of a modification to the remediation plan from MEM in accordance with the recommendations of an independent consultant to leave the remainder of the tailings in place to preserve the stability of the hillside. The Company has requested a change of the scheduling of the reclamation work, pending a decision from MEM regarding the proposal to modify the approved remediation plan. Concurrently, the Company has undertaken various legal measures to protect itself from any pending or future fines, penalties, regulatory action or charges from government authorities which may be initiated as a result of the change in timing of the reclamation under the approved plan. The Company believes this matter can be resolved favorably but cannot provide any assurance. If it is not resolved favorably, it may result in fines and impact the Company’s stated plans and objectives for Coricancha.

Other historical tailings storage locations in the area include Triana (which is approximately 5 m above the Rímac River) and Mayoc (which is approximately 1.3 km from Coricancha). The Triana site has been closed with high density polyethylene and is buttressed with a new upgraded concrete retaining wall, and the deposit itself may require resurfacing work in the future. Mayoc tailings were removed from the area and the site is currently under rehabilitation and remediation.

The location of tailings in the vicinity of the primary waterways and water sources, the regional seismic and atmospheric conditions, and the related past environmental, legal, and social issues, combine to form the most significant risk to the project and its future development, and which is continually under review for assessment and control.

7. PRIMARY EXPLORATION PROPERTIES

The Company has two primary exploration projects in Mexico, El Horcón and Santa Rosa. Given the proximity to the GMC, mineralization from both these projects could conceptually be trucked to and processed at the Cata processing plant. Considering that El Horcón and Santa Rosa could in future form part of the GMC’s operations, the information for these properties (as disclosed in this section of the AIF) is contained in the GMC Technical Report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Guanajuato Mine Complex Claims and Mineral Resource Estimations for the Guanajuato Mine, San Ignacio Mine, and El Horcón and Santa Rosa Projects”, dated February 25, 2017. The effective date of the information related to the El Horcón and Santa Rosa Projects in that Technical Report is August 31, 2016.

Portions of the following information are based on assumptions, qualifications and procedures which are not fully described herein. The information below is presented in summarized form and reference should be made to the full text of the GMC Technical Report which is available for review under the Company’s profile on SEDAR located at www.sedar.com.

7.A.1 El Horcón Project

Property Description and Location

The El Horcón Project is situated north of the city of Leon (Guanajuato State), in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, approximately 470 km northwest of Mexico City. The 16 claims expire between 2051 and 2056. There are no known environmental liabilities associated with the mineral claims.

On December 6, 2017, the Company filed an application to reduce the land holdings in the area; specifically to cancel the Horcón 4 Fraccion 1 concession. After dropping the Horcón 4 Fraccion 1 concession, the Company retains 15 contiguous claims and one isolated claim, totalling 3,520.72 hectares. The official resolution related to this application is pending.

The principal metals of interest are gold, silver, lead, and zinc. Mineralization occurs along structures, the largest of which is the Veta Madre with a strike length of 5 km.

History

The earliest known exploitation of veins on the El Horcón Project area was conducted by the Jesuits, during the Spanish reign, from the late 1500’s to their expulsion from Mexico in 1767. No production records are available, and various shallow southwest dipping veins were mined all to the immediate northeast of Great Panther’s drilling. Minor amounts of exploitation have been conducted, both by drifting along the veins and by stoping, on the Diamantillo and San Guillermo veins (including but not limited to the El Horcón, La Luz and Diamantillo underground access tunnels).

In 1932, a mining engineer Charles E. Pouliot, completed a mining study and evaluation of pillars, fill and remaining portions of the Diamantillo, San Guillermo and veins exploited by the Jesuits. It is not known if exploitation ensued. During the latter part of the 20th century, several bulk samples were shipped to various mills for metallurgical evaluation of the sulfide rich veins.

A number of academic geological studies were completed in the late 20th century by the Mexican Geological Survey. In 2004 and 2005, Mauricio Hochschild Mexico (“MHM”) conducted significant geological, structural, and geochemical studies on the veins of the Comanja area, followed by drilling of 12 core holes totalling 3,570 m. In 2008 and 2009, Exmin Resources Inc. ("Exmin") conducted further geological and geochemical studies, including underground mapping and sampling, and core drilling (5 holes totaling 1,052 m) in an effort to move the project to exploitation, without success.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 79

The Company purchased 100% of the El Horcón Project in 2012, which included most of the exploited veins mentioned above, except for certain internal claims covering portions of the veins.

Geological Setting and Mineralization

The El Horcón Project area is underlain by Mesozoic marine sediments and predominantly mafic submarine lava flows, of the La Luz and Esperanza Formations; these are weakly metamorphosed and intensely deformed. This basal sequence is cut by a variety of intrusive bodies ranging in composition from pyroxenite to granite with tonalitic and dioritic intrusive being the most volumetrically significant.

Cenozoic volcanic and volcanogenic sediments unconformably overlie the Mesozoic basement rocks. In the area, the oldest Cenozoic unit is the Paleocene Comanja granite. This was followed by the Eocene extrusion of andesite which was sporadically deposited and contemporaneous with the deposition of the Guanajuato conglomerate in localized grabens. The Guanajuato conglomerate underlies an unconformity beneath a sequence of felsic to mafic volcanic rocks that consists of Oligocene ignimbrites, lava flows and domes.

Within the El Horcón Project area quartz-dominated veins follow fractures and faults and are hosted within the Comanja granite, as well as the surrounding Mesozoic meta-volcanic and meta-sedimentary rocks.

The vein system at El Horcón is a quartz-chalcedony-dominated, structurally-controlled, epithermal system hosted by Paleocene Comanja granitic rocks and Mesozoic low-grade metamorphic metasedimentary / metavolcanic basement and consists of three principal vein sets that formed in faults and extension fractures.

• NW-striking, SW-dipping veins with dips generally ranging from 45°-70°+,

• NW-striking, SW-dipping low-dip veins (20°-30°), and

• NE-striking generally steep transverse veins.

Gangue minerals associated with the quartz veining include minor fluorite, hematite, chlorite, calcite, and pyrite, while minerals of economic interest include galena (lead), sphalerite (zinc), and minor chalcopyrite (copper). Petrographic work by MHM indicates that silver is present as acanthite. This undated (likely 2005) MHM report (un-acknowledged author) also indicated four stages of Phase 1, and three stages of Phase 2 vein mineralization. Phase 1 includes base metal and precious metal introduction into the vein structures (gold minerals unknown), while Phase 2 stages include calcite and further barren quartz. Beside silicified cataclastic quartz breccia (sealed fault structures), the quartz-chalcedony shows typical epithermal coliform textures.

The primary vein structures on the El Horcón Project include the Diamantillo, San Guillermo, El Ratones, Madre, Crucero, Del Alto, and Alaska veins. Based upon assay results from the channel samples across the surface expressions of these veins, vein widths, and underground exposures by Exmin, MHM, and the Company, it was decided to focus the initial core drill-hole program on the Diamantillo and San Guillermo veins. The narrow Natividad and Diamantillo HW veins were found both from drill site preparation and core drilling. The veins extend in a NW-SE orientation for approximately 7 km in strike and across approximately 2.5 km in width.

Exploration

Exploration work conducted by the Company has consisted of an initial thorough re-evaluation of the project by geological mapping, vein re-sampling both on surface and of all accessible underground openings in 2012-2013 (1,623 samples), followed by a surface core diamond drilling program of 24 drill holes totalling 2,160 metres (1,177 samples). In 2018, a mapping and sampling surface campaign was completed (558 samples). The mapping is intended to define alteration and geochemical anomalies along veins previously unmapped and sampled by the Company, while fully exploring the potential of the project.

Drilling

Diamond drilling at El Horcón was conducted by the Company’s exploration staff. The exploration drilling was conducted on 50-100 m spaced sections, with one to three holes drilled per section, as well as at approximately 50 m spacing vertically between holes. The Company’s 2013 drilling was focused from surface to approximately 100 m below surface along a strike length of 650 metres.

The Company’s Phase 1 drill-holes completed from mid-April to mid-June 2013 are prefixed by EH13 and include holes 1-24. Only the relevant MHM drilling was used in the Mineral Resource estimation (no records for the Exmin drilling). The drill contractor for the Company was G4 Drilling based in Hermosillo, Sonora.

The management, monitoring, surveying, and logging of the 2013 series “EH13” prefix exploration holes was carried out under the supervision of the Company’s exploration geological staff.

Procedures related to sample and geological data integrity are consistent with those described for the Guanajuato Mine.

Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security

The drill core samples were prepared by technicians working under the direction of the Exploration Department geologists. The exploration diamond drill core was HQ diameter.

All of the analytical work was completed by the SGS GTO laboratory and the quality control measures and data verification procedures are consistent with those described for Guanajuato.

Mineral Resource Estimates

Mineral Resources were estimated from four area-specific block models. A set of wireframes representing the mineralized zones served to constrain both the block models and data subsequently used in Inverse Distance Cubed (ID3) Au, Ag, Pb, and Zn grade interpolation. The effective date of the estimate is August 31, 2016.

Great Panther Mining Limited

Mineral Reserve Estimates

There is no Mineral Reserve estimate for the El Horcón Project.

Mining Operations

The mining method considered when estimating the Mineral Resource is standard cut and fill with waste provided by the development.

Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities

The El Horcón Project is situated along the eastern side of the Sierra Guanajuato mountain range and is accessible via a rough access road 10 km north of Comanja, Jalisco. Comanja is a small village and has a population of approximately 500 people and is located within 40 km, by road, of an international airport at León, Mexico.

In 2017, the Environmental Assessment Manifest and Change of Land Use applications were approved by SEMARNAT. These authorizations allow the future exploration and exploitation on the property.

Exploration and Development

During July and August of 2016, a program of detailed surface geological mapping (1:500 scale) was continued, along with rock sampling of prospective veins approximately one kilometre southeast along the trends of the Diamantillo / Madre veins. Vein swarms and stockwork were noted with generally weakly anomalous gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper values.

During 2018, work included finalizing the details on the SEMARNAT application regarding exploration and exploitation permits and a work program that included additional surface mapping and sampling to prioritize targets for possible follow-up drilling.

7.A.2 Santa Rosa Project

In 2011, the Company purchased a 100% interest in the Santa Rosa silver-gold property in Guanajuato State, Mexico, for total consideration of $1.5 million in cash.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 82

Property Description and Location

The Santa Rosa Project includes a cluster of non-contiguous mineral claims to the northeast of Guanajuato. Most cover segments of historically known veins within the Sierra vein system., as well as two claims located further north staked more from a regional conceptual nature.

The four mineral claims comprise an area of 1,513.8 hectares and expire between 2040 and 2064. There are no known environmental liabilities associated with the mineral claims.

The claims of the Santa Rosa Project are situated along the eastern side of the Sierra Guanajuato mountain range, northeast of Guanajuato, Guanajuato.

History

The core of the Santa Rosa Project claims covers vein exposures along the Sierra vein system, along the eastern flank of the central Veta Madre vein. Minor amounts of pitting, short adits, and shallow vertical shafts have been completed with a minor amount of vein exploitation. No records are available as to these activities. The Company completed due diligence sampling during 2011 and purchased the Santa Rosa claims during the same year. The Cañada de la Virgen claim was part of the Cooperative claim block (Guanajuato Mine) purchased by the Company in 2005.

Geological Setting and Mineralization

The stratigraphy of the area presents to the Company basement rocks of the older units including Mesozoic age La Luz and La Esperanza Formations. These formations consist of meta-sedimentary sequences, including shale, andesite and felsic dykes deformed and folded by regional metamorphism. Upper volcanic package rocks in concordant contact include a sequence of the lithic tuff, ignimbrites, and also in some places rhyolite dykes and jasperoids. The area generally presents a strong NW structural orientation, with normal faults and a dextral component.

In the second phase of exploration (July 2014), detailed mapping was completed in the Cañada de la Virgen claim and in the Virgin vein development tunnel. The Virgin vein structure with minor quartz is oriented around 320-330° with a dip of 35-45°NE, and an average width of 0.50 m. The vein, inside the tunnel, occurs at the contact of a diorite dike. On surface, there are two separate structures enveloping a quartz stockwork hosted in the meta-sedimentary rocks. The tunnel is 60 m long and there are several inclined shafts where mineralization has been extracted. The average grade of samples is 457 g/t Ag eq. The wall-rock of the Virgin vein, which outcrops for 400 m, shows propylitic alteration along its length. Host rocks include lithic tuffs, ignimbrites, and associated dykes.

Another vein structure identified during the mapping extends for more than 600 m and is exposed in the Salaverna North tunnel. It is a vein structure of 0.40 m width, with strong silicification and hosted in the meta-sedimentary package. The vein structure, when it reaches the upper rhyolite volcanic rocks becomes a stockwork with hematite, limonite, clays, and fine disseminated pyrite.

Exploration

In the first stage of the Company’s exploration (2012) on the Cañada de la Virgen claim, a total of 168 rock samples from surface, and 537 core samples from the five diamond drill holes were collected.

During the second stage of the Company’s exploration (2014), a total of 140 samples were taken from surface and underground.

8. RISK FACTORS

The operations of the Company are characterized by a number of risks inherent to the nature of the mining industry and to the nature of the Company’s business in particular. The following risk factors, as well as other risks discussed in this AIF, could materially affect the Company’s future operating results and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones faced by the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to management or that management currently consider immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operations. If any of these events actually occur, the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows and operating results could be materially harmed. Before deciding to invest in securities of the Company, investors should carefully consider such risks and uncertainties.

Metals and Mineral Prices Are Subject to Dramatic and Unpredictable Fluctuations

The market prices of precious metals and other minerals are volatile and cannot be controlled. If the prices of precious metals and other minerals drop significantly, the economic prospects of the Company’s operating mines and projects could be significantly reduced or rendered uneconomic. There is no assurance that even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered, a profitable market may exist for the sale of same. Mineral prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. The marketability of minerals is also affected by numerous other factors beyond the control of the Company, including government regulations relating to royalties, allowable production and importing and exporting of minerals, the effect of which cannot be accurately predicted.

The Company has recently entered into hedging arrangements for precious metals production, and from time to time has sought arrangements to price a proportion of the silver and gold content of its production in advance of contractual pricing periods which can be two to three months from the time of shipment. The arrangements entered into to date have not exceeded more than 33% of the Company’s annual production and have not exceeded more than six months in duration. The Company may enter into similar arrangements in the future which may exceed the levels and duration of past arrangements. These arrangements may also be subject to realized losses as can involve fixing a future price for a given metal.

Current Global Financial Conditions

In recent years, global financial markets have experienced increased volatility and global financial conditions have been subject to increased instability. These had a profound impact on the global economy. Many industries, including the mining sector, were impacted by these market conditions. Some of the key impacts of financial market turmoil include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations and high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange and precious metal markets and a lack of market liquidity. These factors may impact the ability of the Company to obtain equity or debt financing and, if available, to obtain such financing on terms favourable to the Company. If these increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company’s operations and planned growth could be adversely impacted and the trading price of the securities of the Company may be adversely affected.

Tucano Mine Life

The Company has significantly reduced its reserve and resources estimates with the publication of the updated Tucano technical report in March 2020. The reductions in mineral reserves have resulted in a shorter open pit mine plan for Tucano that currently forecasts production from mineral reserves through the end of 2021. In order to continue open pit mine at Tucano beyond 2021, the Company will need to expand its reserve base or otherwise establish that the material currently classified as mineral resources can be economically mined. The Company is adopting a near-mine drilling plan that is focused on converting existing mineral resources into mineral reserves, and a regional exploration plan that is focused on increasing the Tucano resource base. There is however no assurance that these development and exploration plans will ultimately be successful in increasing the mine life of Tucano. As a consequence, the Company may be required to evaluate whether to cease operations at Tucano if it cannot economically operate the mine. Any shut-down or curtailment of Tucano would materially and adversely impact on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and may result in the Company not being able to pay its obligations, including outstanding debt.

Inaccuracies in Production and Cost Estimates

The Company prepares estimates of future production and future production costs for specific operations. No assurance can be given that these estimates will be achieved. Production and cost estimates are based on, among other things, the following: the accuracy of Mineral Reserve and Resource estimates; the accuracy of assumptions regarding ground conditions and physical characteristics of mineralization, equipment and mechanical availability, labour, and the accuracy of estimated rates and costs of mining and processing. Actual production and costs may vary from estimates for a variety of reasons, including actual mineralization mined varying from estimates of grade, tonnage, dilution and metallurgical and other characteristics, short-term operating factors relating to the Mineral Reserve and Resources, such as the need for sequential development of mineralized zones and the processing of new or different grades of mineralization; and the risks and hazards associated with mining described below under “Mining and Mineral Exploration Have Substantial Operational Risks”. In addition, there can be no assurance that silver recoveries or other metal recoveries in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during production, or that the existing known and experienced recoveries will continue. Costs of production may also be affected by a variety of factors, including: variability in grade or dilution, metallurgy, labour costs, costs of supplies and services (such as, fuel and power), general inflationary pressures, changes in regulations and currency exchange rates. Failure to achieve production or cost estimates, or increases in costs, could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

Uncertainty Regarding Resource Estimates

Only Mineral Resources have been determined for certain of the Company’s properties, and other than Tucano, no estimate of Mineral Reserves on any property has been completed. Mineral Resource estimates are based on interpretation and assumptions and may yield less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated. In making determinations about whether to advance any projects to development, the Company must rely upon estimated calculations as to the Mineral Resources and grades of mineralization on its properties. Until mineralized zones are mined and processed, Mineral Resources and grades of mineralization must be considered as estimates only. These estimates are imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling which may prove to be unreliable. The Company cannot assure that:

• Mineral Resource or other mineralization estimates will be accurate; or

• Mineralization can be mined or processed profitably.

Any material changes in Mineral Resource estimates and grades of mineralization will affect the economic viability of a mine or a project and its return on capital. The Company’s resource estimates have been determined and valued based on assumed future prices, cut-off grades and operating costs that may prove to be inaccurate. Extended declines in market prices for silver, gold, zinc and lead may render portions of the Company’s mineralization uneconomic and result in reduced reported Mineral Resources.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 86

Any material reductions in estimates of Mineral Resources, or of the Company’s ability to extract such Mineral Resources, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The Company cannot assure that mineral recovery rates achieved in small scale tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale.

Production Decisions Made without Identified Mineral Reserves

There are no current estimates of Mineral Reserves for any of the Company’s Mexican mines and Coricancha. The Company made decisions to enter into production at Topia, Guanajuato and San Ignacio without having completed final feasibility studies. Accordingly, the Company did not base its production decisions on any feasibility studies of Mineral Reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability of the mines. In addition, the Company may at some point in the future make decisions to extend mine operations at Tucano beyond the mine life of its current Mineral Reserves by mining material that is classified as Mineral Resources without the completion of a feasibility study that would be required to establish whether these Mineral Resources can be converted to Mineral Reserves. As a result, there may be increased uncertainty and risks of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals from the Company’s mines or the costs of such recovery. As the Company’s mines do not have established Mineral Reserves, except for Tucano, the Company faces higher risks that anticipated rates of production and production costs will not be achieved, each of which risks could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to continue to generate anticipated revenues and cash flows to fund operations from and ultimately achieve or maintain profitable operations.

Sufficiency of Current Capital and Ability to Obtain Financing

The further exploitation, development and exploration of mineral properties in which the Company holds interests or which the Company acquires may depend upon its ability to obtain financing through equity financing and/or debt financing, to enter into joint venture arrangements or to obtain other means of financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining required financing as and when needed. Volatile precious metals markets may make it difficult or impossible for the Company to obtain financing on favourable terms, or at all.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $37 million of cash and short-term deposits. During 2019 the Company generated positive cash flow from operating activities, however, this was not sufficient to make scheduled debt repayments and capital investments and the Company needed to raise other souces of capital. There is no assurance that the Company’s cash flows generated from mining activities, along with its current cash and other net working capital, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations without requiring any additional capital to meet its planned initiatives, and to fund investment and exploration, evaluation, and development activities for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to fund its operations without additional capital will be highly dependent on metal prices and the ability of the Company to maintain cost and grade controls at its operations, and is subject to the Company’s plans and strategy.

In addition, the Company has outstanding debt of $43 million as at December 31, 2019 and entered into other debt facilities following the end of 2019. This debt includes debt payable to Brazilian banks and other lenders. The Company will be dependent upon its future ability to maintain production at its mines in order to generate the cash flow required to repay this indebtedness in accordance with the requirement payment schedules. In the event production cannot be maintained, the Company may be required to complete additional equity financings or sell assets in order to repay these creditors and avoid enforcement actions by these creditors or an insolvency event. There is no assurance that any equity financing would be available to the Company in these circumstances or that the Company would be able to market and sell assets at the prices that the Company would consider to be fair and representative of their market value.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 87

The Company has completed acquisitions to achieve growth, and accordingly, may continue to evaluate opportunities to execute and complete additional acquisitions, and these may require additional capital. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital when required. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis may limit, expansion, development and exploration plans, or even to suspend operations.

Mining and Mineral Exploration Have Substantial Operational Risks

Mining and mineral exploration involve many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. These risks include but are not limited to:

• major or catastrophic equipment failures;

• mine failures and slope failures;

• failure of tailings facilities;

• ground fall and cave-ins;

• deleterious elements materializing in the mined resources;

• environmental hazards;

• industrial accidents and explosions;

• encountering unusual or unexpected geological formations;

• labour shortages or strikes;

• government regulations;

• civil disobedience and protests; and

• natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods, droughts, rock slides and earthquakes.

Tucano recently experienced a pit slope displacement at UCS, as described in this AIF. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to develop a remediation plan that would place the Company in a position where it could recommence mining activities at UCS. If a remediation plan is not feasible, then the Company may not be able to access the UCS Mineral Reserves which may adversely impact the Company’s production plans and future revenues. In addition, the Company may experience similar pit wall displacements or other failures at the Tucano open pit mines, with further negative impact to the Company’s ability to mine its reserves. Any such events may increase the Company’s costs of operations, delay production plans and reduce potential production.

Monitoring of the TSF at Topia by the Company’s geotechnical consultants has detected mass movement of the material underlying the TSF. As a result, the consultants have issued a report recommending that the Company cease further deposit of tailings on the TSF. While the Company is working with the consultant to assess these observations and develop a remediation plan, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to resume the deposit of tailings on the TSF. Further, there is no assurance that any remediation plan will be successful in preventing further movement of the tailings. Any movement of the material underlying the TSF could result in significant environmental damage, potential loss of life and property and consequential liability to the Company.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 88

These occurrences could result in environmental damage and liabilities, work stoppages and delayed production, increased production costs, damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, asset write-downs, monetary losses, loss of or suspension of permits as a result of regulatory action, reputational damage and other liabilities. The nature of these risks is such that liabilities could exceed policy limits of the Company’s insurance coverage, in which case the Company could incur significant costs that could prevent profitable operations.

Political Risk and Government Regulations

The Company’s mining, exploration and development activities are focused in Brazil, Mexico and Peru, and are subject to national and local laws and regulations governing prospects, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and others which currently or in the future may have a substantial adverse impact on the Company. To comply with applicable laws, the Company may be required to make significant capital or operating expenditures. Existing and possible future environmental legislation, regulation and action could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restriction and delays in the activities of the Company, the extent of which cannot be reasonably predicted. Violators may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the Company’s mining activities and may be fined if convicted of an offence under such legislation.

Mining and exploration activities in the countries where the Company operates may be affected in varying degrees by political instabilities and government regulations relating to the mining industry or business activities in general. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the Company’s control and may adversely affect the business. Operations may also be affected to varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety. The status of Brazil, Mexico and Peru as developing countries may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain any required financing for projects. The effect of all these factors cannot be accurately predicted. Notwithstanding the progress achieved in improving Brazilian, Mexican and Peruvian political institutions and in revitalizing their economies, the present administrations or any successor governments may not be able to sustain the progress achieved. The Company does not carry political risk insurance. Risks Associated with Obtaining and Complying with Tailings and Other Permits

The Company’s operations are subject to obtaining and maintaining permits (including environmental permits) from appropriate governmental authorities. There is no assurance that necessary permits will be obtained or that delays will not occur in connection with obtaining all necessary renewals of such permits for the existing operations, or additional permits for any possible future changes to operations, or additional permits associated with new legislation. Additionally, it is possible that previously issued permits may become suspended for a variety of reasons, including through government or court action. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to hold or obtain, if required to, all permits necessary to develop or continue operating at any particular property.

The Company has been advised by CONAGUA, that the Company is required to make applications for permits associated with the occupation and construction of the TSF at the GMC. Subsequently, the Company filed its applications and CONAGUA officials carried out an inspection of the TSF and requested further technical information, which the Company submitted in December 2017. The duration and success of efforts to obtain the tailings permits are contingent upon many variables not within the Company’s control.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 89

The tailings storage capacity at the GMC’s TSF as at January 1, 2020 is 280,000 tonnes providing approximately 1.5 years of tailings storage. Current approved lifts with SEMARNAT   are from current lift 17 to lift 19, which will provide capacity for several years of tailings storage, however, this approval needs to be ratified by CONAGUA. A ruling is expected by mid-2020, but the Company  cannot provide any assurance of timing and whether a favorable ruling will be granted. An unfavorable ruling could negatively impact ongoing operations at the GMC.

The Company cannot assure that any tailings permits will be obtained or renewable on reasonable terms, or at all. Delays or a failure to obtain such required permits, or the expiry, revocation or failure by the Company to comply with the terms of any such permits, if obtained, would adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue operating or expand the TSF at the GMC and could result in a halt of mining operations at the GMC, each of which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

The Company may require additional water use and discharge permits for its operations at the GMC, particularly during of periods of excessive drought. The Company continues to evaluate whether such permits are necessary. If such permits prove necessary, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such permits, which could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Risks Associated with Continued use of Topia Tailings and Expansion

In December 2017, SEMARNAT granted all permits for the construction and operation of Phase II of the Topia TSF.  Phase II is not a conventional tailings dam, but instead a dry stack operation using filter cake.  The deposition includes stacking and compaction of the material.

Phase I of the TSF was closed and contoured during 2018 and requires ongoing monitoring consisting of primarily of piezometers and inclinometers, and independent third party geotechnical reviews.

The planned capacity of the Phase II TSF is sufficient to handle the processing of several years of mined material. Additional longer term storage capacity is under permitting for Phase III. Phase III is on top of the legacy TSF managed by a former owner of the mine, where the proposed tails stacking will be part of the remediation. There are risks associated with future expansions including, but not limited to, identifying and procuring suitable sites, and obtaining the necessary permits for construction and operation. The Company is currently in the process of permitting the Phase III TSF. While the Company currently anticipates a timeline of three to six months for the issuance of this permit, there is no assurance that a permit will be granted at all or will be granted within this timeline. Due to the suspension in the use of the use of Phase II, a delay in permitting of Phase III could result in a shut-down of mining operations at Topia if alternate, temporary tailings storage solutions cannot be found. Any shut-down of Topia due to permitting delays or lack of alternate tailings storage solutions would have a material impact on the Company’s revenues and may adversely impact on the financial condition of the Company.

On March 9, 2020, the Company announced it had temporarily ceased tailings deposition at its Topia Phase II TSF following receipt of a report on the TSF from an independent tailings management and geotechnical consultant engaged by the Company to regularly evaluate the TSF. Mining and processing activities are expected to continue uninterrupted until the end of April 2020, at alternative temporary locations.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 90

The Company is continuing discussions with geotechnical consultants regarding ongoing observations and assessments, while monitoring ongoing conditions at the TSF. Alternatives to minimize any potential cessation of processing activities in 2020 are being evaluated, including advancement of the permitting of Phase III and re-commencement of tailings deposition at the Phase II TSF (if satisfactory mitigation measures can be achieved). As at the date of this AIF the Company expects it can obtain the necessary permit within the next three to six months, but cannot provide assurance. If alternatives are not in place by the end of April, mill processing activities will temporarily cease until either Phase III is permitted or suitable mitigation of Phase II can be achieved and would have a material impact on the Company’s revenues and may adversely impact on the financial condition of the Company

In addition, reviews by the regulatory authorities dating back to 2015, coupled with permitting work undertaken by the Company in connection with the expansion of the Topia TSF have led to a broader review by PROFEPA of the permitting status for all of Topia operations, environmental compliance (including the historical tailings dating back to periods prior to Great Panther’s ownership) and a clarification of land titles. Devised as a cooperative management strategy, the Topia Mine was accepted into a voluntary environmental audit program supported by PROFEPA which commenced during the second quarter of 2017. The Company is working on a compliance program authorized by PROFEPA to address the audit findings and has until January 2021 to complete this. This compliance program includes remediation, and technical reviews as defined by the audit. Progress updates will be submitted to PROFEPA for further review. The Company anticipates that it will be able to achieve full compliance; however, the Company cannot provide complete assurance that upon conclusion of the compliance program further reviews will not lead to future suspensions of operations.

Factors Beyond the Company’s Control

There are a number of factors beyond the Company’s control. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in government regulation, political changes, high levels of volatility in metal prices, availability of markets, availability of adequate transportation and smelting facilities, availability of capital, environmental and social factors, acts of nature, catastrophic risks, and amendments to existing taxes and royalties. These factors and their effects cannot be accurately predicted.

Environmental and Health and Safety Risks

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. There is no assurance that environmental regulations will not change in a manner that could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations, and a breach of any such regulation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties.

Environmental legislation is constantly expanding and evolving in ways that impose stricter standards and more rigorous enforcement, with higher fines and more severe penalties for non-compliance, and increased scrutiny of proposed projects. There is an increased level of responsibility for companies, and trends towards criminal liability for officers and directors for violations of environmental laws, whether inadvertent or not. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the profitability of the Company’s operations.

Exploration activities and/or the pursuit of commercial production of the Company’s mineral claims may be subject to an environmental review process under environmental assessment legislation. Compliance with an environmental review process may be costly and may delay commercial production. Furthermore, there is the possibility that the Company would not be able to proceed with commercial production upon completion of the environmental review process if government authorities do not approve the proposed mine, or if the costs of compliance with government regulation adversely affect the commercial viability of the proposed mine.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 91

The development and operation of a mine involves significant risks to personnel from accidents or catastrophes such as fires, explosions or collapses. These risks could result in damage or destruction of mineral properties, production facilities, casualties, personal injury, environmental damage, mining delays, increased production costs, monetary losses and legal liability. The Company may not be able to obtain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance against certain environmental risks, including potential liability for pollution and other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from production, is not generally available to companies within the mining industry. The Company may be materially adversely affected if it incurs losses related to any significant events that are not covered by its insurance policies.

The Company has safety programs in place and continues to pursue further improvements on an ongoing basis. Safety meetings with employees and contractors are held on a regular basis to reinforce standards and practices. However, there is no assurance that safety incidents will not be experienced in the future, or that operations might not be materially affected by their occurrence. Further, a safety incident could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations, and may result in the imposition of fines and penalties.

COVID 19 Disruptions

The Company has been closely monitoring the effects of the spread of the coronavirus respiratory disease (COVID-19) with a focus on the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and its head office location in Canada.

The rapid worldwide spread of COVID-19 is prompting governments to incrementally implement restrictive measures in an attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19. During this period of uncertainty, Great Panther’s priority is to safeguard the health and safety of personnel and host communities, support and enforce government actions to slow the spread of COVID-19, and to continually assess and mitigate the risks to the business operations.

The Company has implemented a COVID-19 response plan that includes a number of measures to safeguard against the spread of the virus at its offices and sites and is also maintaining regular communications with legal and government representatives, suppliers, customers and business partners to monitor any potential risks to its ongoing operations. Broader government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 have not impacted the Company’s operating mines in Mexico and Brazil to date and there are no confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 across the Company’s corporate offices and operations. In accordance with government-mandated restrictions in response to COVID-19, Coricancha, which has been on care and maintenance with some limited mining operations, will conduct exclusively care and maintenance activities to sustain the appropriate safety and environmental systems during the 28-day National State of Emergency announced on March 16 and on March 26, 2020. Coricancha is not material to the Company’s operations.

Although there have not been any impacts to the Company’s operations to date, the Company cannot provide assurance that there will not be disruptions to its operations in the future. If the Company’s operations are impacted or expected to be impacted, the Company seek measures to preserve cash resources including suspension of discretionary spending and other legal means to reduce and minimize contractual spending. However, any extended suspension of operations may ultimately impact on the Company’s ability to repay its debt obligations and other creditors, with the result that the Company’s financial position may be seriously jeopardized.

Risks Which Cannot Be Insured

The Company maintains appropriate insurance for liability and property damage; however, the Company may be subject to liability for hazards that cannot be insured against, which if such liabilities arise, could impact profitability and result in a decline in the value of the Company’s securities. The Company’s operations may involve the use of dangerous and hazardous substances; however, extensive measures are taken to prevent discharges of pollutants in the ground water and the environment. Although the Company will maintain appropriate insurance for liability and property damage in connection with its business, the Company may become subject to liability for hazards that cannot be insured against or which the Company may elect not to insure itself against due to high premium costs or other reasons. In the course of mining and exploration of mineral properties, certain risks and, in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes, may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and the Company may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons.

Risk of Secure Title of Property Interest

There can be no assurance that title to any property interest acquired by the Company or any of its subsidiaries is secured. Although the Company has taken reasonable precautions to ensure that legal title to its properties is properly documented, there can be no assurance that its property interests may not be challenged or impugned. Such property interests may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or other land claims, and title may be affected by undetected defects and adverse laws and regulations.

In the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, legal rights applicable to mining concessions are different and separate from legal rights applicable to surface lands; accordingly, title holders of mining concessions in such jurisdictions must agree with surface land owners on compensation in respect of mining activities conducted on such land.

Unauthorized Mining

The mining industries in Brazil and Mexico are subject to incursions by illegal miners or “garimperos” or “lupios” who gain unauthorized access to mines or exploration areas to steal mineralized material mainly by manual mining methods. The Company has experienced such incursions including an incident in the first quarter of 2014 at the GMC which resulted in both a significant financial loss to the Company and a material impact to the Company’s operations. Beadell also experienced this over the past three years at the Tartaruga exploration project in Brazil. In addition to the risk of losses and disruptions, these illegal miners pose a safety and security risk. The Company has taken security measures at its sites to address this issue and ensure the safety and security of its employees, contractors and assets. These incursions and illegal mining activities can potentially compromise underground structures, equipment and operations, which may lead to production stoppages and impact the Company’s ability to meet production goals.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 93

Commercialization Risk of Development and Exploration Stage Properties and Ability to Acquire Additional Commercially Mineable Mineral Rights

The Company’s primary mineral properties in Mexico, Topia and the GMC (excluding San Ignacio), have been in the production stage for more than ten years under the ownership of the Company, and have generated positive cash flow from operating activities. However, the commercial viability of these mines was not established by a feasibility study or preliminary economic assessment. Similarly, San Ignacio commenced production in 2014 and has generated positive cash flow from operating activities; however, the commercial viability of this mine was not established by a feasibility study or preliminary economic assessment. Coricancha was a past producing mine that is currently on care and maintenance. There is no assurance that the Company’s evaluation efforts will be sufficient to bring Coricancha into production.

Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk. There is no assurance that commercially viable quantities of ore will be discovered at Coricancha, or the Company’s other exploration projects, or that its exploration or development projects will be brought into commercial production.

Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable ore deposits and no assurance can be given that any anticipated level of recovery of ore reserves will be realized or that any identified mineral deposit will ever qualify as mineable. Estimates of mineral reserves and resources, and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, social dynamics in local communities, negotiations with land owners, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions.

Material changes in commodity prices, Mineral Resources, grades, dilution or recovery rates, or other project parameters may affect the economic viability of any project. The Company’s future growth and productivity will depend, in part, on the ability to identify and acquire additional commercially mineable mineral rights, and on the costs and results of continued exploration and potential development programs. Mineral exploration and development is highly speculative in nature and is frequently non-productive. Substantial expenditures are required to:

• establish Mineral Resources through drilling and metallurgical and other testing techniques;

• determine metal content and metallurgical recovery processes to extract metal from the ore;

• evaluate the economic feasibility; and

• construct, renovate, expand or modify mining and processing facilities.

In addition, if potentially economic mineralization is discovered, it would take several years from the initial phases of exploration until production is possible. During this time, the economic feasibility of production may change. As a result of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully acquire additional commercially mineable properties.

Development projects usually have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future cash flow. Estimates of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, and Inferred Mineral Resources are, to a large extent, based upon detailed geological and engineering analysis. Further, Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. At this time, other than Tucano, the Company’s properties do not have defined Mineral Reserves. Due to the uncertainty of Inferred Mineral Resources, there is no assurance that Inferred Mineral Resources will ever be upgraded to either Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources or to Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 94

Because mines have limited lives, the Company must continually replace and expand its Mineral Resources as production continues. The LOM estimates for the Company’s mines may not be correct. The ability of the Company to maintain or increase its annual production of metals and the Company’s future growth and productivity will be dependent in significant part on its ability to identify and acquire additional commercially mineable mineral rights, to bring new mines into production, to expand Mineral Resources at existing mines, and on the costs and results of continued exploration and potential development programs. The inability to identify Mineral Resources in quantities sufficient to bring a mineral property into production may result in the write down of the value of the mineral property.

Risks Associated with the Coricancha Acquisition

The Company completed the acquisition of Coricancha on June 30, 2017. The Company’s decision to acquire Coricancha was subject to a number of assumptions, including anticipated exploration results, the expected cost and timing of restarting operations, anticipated processing and production rates that may be achieved at Coricancha upon reactivation, the working capital position of Coricancha at closing, the ultimate cost of reclaiming legacy tailings facilities, potential increases to the Coricancha resource base, the anticipated cost of the mine closure bond, the indemnification obligations of Nyrstar under the Share Purchase Agreement and current environmental conditions and liabilities at Coricancha. While Nyrstar, as the former owner of Coricancha, has agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to certain reclamation costs, these indemnification obligations are capped. While the Company presently believes the ultimate reclamation costs will be less than amount of the indemnity cap, there is no assurance that this will be the case. In addition, there may be disagreements between the Company and Nyrstar as to the amount of Nyrstar’s indemnification obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement. In addition, the parent guarantor of the Nyrstar entities has been replaced with a subsidiary of Trafigura that has acquired the Nyrstar entities as part of a sale by Nyrstar NV of its assets in a reorganization transaction with Trafiguira. There is no assurance that the Trafigura guarantor will have the financial resources necessary to discharge any claim under the guarantee should the Nyrstar entities fail to discharge their obligations.

If any of these assumptions prove incorrect, the Company may not be able to achieve profitable operations at Coricancha. The acquisition of Coricancha is subject to a number of risks that may result in a materially adverse impact on the Company, including potential political risks involving the Company's operations in a foreign jurisdiction, technical and operational difficulties that may be encountered with reactivation of Coricancha, uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses, uncertainty in Mineral Resource estimation, physical risks inherent in mining operations, currency fluctuations, fluctuations in the price of silver, gold and base metals, completion of economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, permitting risks, the inability or failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, unanticipated increases in the cost of the tailings reclamation, increased mine closure costs and related bond requirements, and the other risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this AIF, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the Company and its results of operations.

The Company is required to make a decision as to whether to permanently close the Coricancha mine under its Mine Closure Agreement with Nyrstar by June 30, 2020. If a decision to permanently close the mine is made, Nyrstar will fund closure costs up to $9.7 million but Coricancha will be required to post a $9.7 million bond with Peruvian government authorities. If no decision is made to permanently close Coricancha, then Coricancha will likewise be required to post the $9.7 million bond. Accordingly, either option will require a financial commitment from the Company which may divert capital and management time away from the funding of mining operations and other revenue generating activities. In addition, any costs of permanently closing Coricancha may be greater than the $9.7 million that Nyrstar would be required to fund in the event of a decision to permanently close the mine by June 30, 2020.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 95

In addition, although the Company has completed a Technical Report in the form of a Preliminary Economic Assessment at Coricancha it is currently evaluating the conditions under which a restart of Coricancha production can be implemented. The Company may not conduct a preliminary feasibility study or feasibility study in connection with its decision. Mineral properties that are placed into production without the benefit of a feasibility study have historically had a higher risk of failure. There is no assurance the Company will achieve any particular level of production at Coricancha or that operations there will be profitable.

Financing Risks Associated with Tucano

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure the funds necessary to finance the optimization, planned exploration, further capital investment and development of Tucano and scheduled debt repayments in a manner that will increase value to shareholders. In addition, Tucano will have significant working capital needs, given its 2020 production profile with a much greater proportion of production in the second half of the year.

Substantial expenditures will be required to optimize, develop and to continue with the exploration of Tucano and near mine exploration targets. In order to explore and develop Tucano, the Company may be required to expend significant amounts for, among other things, geological, geochemical and geophysical analysis, drilling, assaying, and, if warranted, further mining and infrastructure feasibility studies. The Company may not benefit from any of these investments if it is unable to identify commercially exploitable mineralized material. If successful in identifying reserves, it may require additional capital to construct infrastructure necessary to extract recoverable metal from those reserves.

The ability of the Company to achieve sufficient cash flows from internal sources and obtain necessary funding through equity financing, joint ventures, debt financing, or other means, depends upon a number of factors, including the state of the worldwide economy and the price of gold, silver and other metals. The Company may not be successful in achieving sufficient cash flows from internal sources and obtaining the required financing as and when needed for these or other purposes on terms that are favorable to it or at all, in which case its ability to continue operating may be adversely affected. Failure to achieve sufficient cash flows and obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration or potential development and may cause the Company to forfeit rights in some or all of its properties or reduce or terminate some or all of its planned operations.

In addition, any determination to proceed with the development of the Urucum underground mine at Tucano will require the completion of a feasibility study to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of the project. There is no assurance that this feasibility will be established or that the Company will be able to raise the capital to fund the development of the Urucum underground mine should feasibility be established.

Exploration and Development Risks Associated with Tucano

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company with respect to Tucano may be affected by numerous factors that are beyond the control of the Company and that cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.

The business of exploration for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that the mineral exploration and development activities of the Company will result in discoveries of commercial bodies of ore. The long-term profitability of the Company’s operations will in part be directly related to the costs and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.

Ability to Service Debt

Prior to the Acquisition, Great Panther did not historically have any material debt. The Company has incurred significant debt on the acquisition of Tucano, on a consolidated basis, and anticipates continuing to rely on debt financing to support mining operations at Tucano. Great Panther’s ability to continue to service this debt and other obligations will depend on its future performance and cash flows which to a certain extent are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors, including the price of gold, silver and other metals, many of which are beyond its control. Great Panther’s historical financial results (on a pro forma basis) have been, and it is anticipated that Great Panther’s future financial results will continue to be, subject to fluctuations. Cash flows can vary and the Company’s business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to enable it to satisfy its debt and other obligations. Any inability to secure sufficient debt funding (including to refinance on acceptable terms) or to service its existing and new debt may have a material adverse effect on Great Panther’s financial performance and prospects.

Litigation Risk

As discussed in Item 15 of this AIF, the Company is party to various legal proceedings in connection with its mining properties. The Company has disclosed certain of these legal proceedings, but has not disclosed other legal proceedings on the basis that they do not claims in excess of 10% of the assets of the Company. The Company has made various assessments as to the probability of the outcomes of these legal proceedings in connection with the preparation of its Audited Financial Statements. There is no assurance that the Company’s assessment of the probability of these outcomes, and the amounts for which the Company may become liable to pay, will be accurate and representative of the actual outcomes in these legal proceedings. Adverse decisions in these legal proceedings could result in significant damages being awarded against the Company which could in have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. While the Company may be able to appeal any awards of decisions against the Company, there is no assurance that these appeals would be successful. In addition, the Company’s inability to overturn the decision of the federal labour court regarding the prohibition of cyanide usage at Tucano following the date that is one year following the date of any final appeal could result in the Company being required to cease operations at Tucano if an alternative to cyanide treatment cannot be identified and implemented in a cost-effective manner (of which there is no assurance). While the Company views such an order as being unprecedented in Brazil, the Company’s failure to over-turn the order on appeal would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

All industries, including the mining industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. The Company may become involved in additional legal disputes in the future. Defence and settlement costs can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding may have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company may be subject to governmental and regulatory investigations, civil claims, lawsuits and other proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. The results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty due to the uncertainty inherent in regulatory actions and litigation, the difficulty of predicting decisions of regulators, judges and juries and the possibility that decisions may be reversed on appeal.

Management is committed to conducting business in an ethical and responsible manner, which it believes will reduce the risk of legal disputes. However, if the Company is subject to legal disputes, there can be no assurances that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

Corruption and Fraud in Brazil relating to Ownership of Real Estate

Under Brazilian law, real property ownership is normally transferred by means of a transfer deed, and subsequently registered at the appropriate real estate registry office under the corresponding real property record. There are uncertainties, corruption and fraud relating to title ownership of real estate in Brazil, mostly in rural areas. In certain cases, a real estate registry office may register deeds with errors, including duplicate and/or fraudulent entries, and, therefore, deed challenges frequently occur, leading to judicial actions. Property disputes over title ownership are frequent in Brazil, and, as a result, there is a risk that errors, fraud or challenges could adversely affect the Company’s ability to operate, although ownership of mining rights are separate from ownership of land.

Restrictions to the Acquisition of Rural Properties by Foreign Investors or Brazilian Companies under Foreign Control

Non-resident individuals and non-domiciled foreign legal entities are subject to restrictions for the acquisition or lease for agricultural purpose, or arrendamento, of rural properties in Brazil. Limitations also apply to legal entities domiciled in Brazil controlled by foreign investors, such as the Company’s subsidiaries through which the Company will operate in Brazil. The limitations are set forth mainly in Law No. 5,709/1971 and in Decree No. 74,965/1974.

Until 2010, limitations imposed on the acquisition of rural property did not apply to Brazilian companies under foreign control. However, an opinion issued by the General Counsel of the Federal Government Office of Brazil significantly changed the interpretation of the applicable laws at the time. Accordingly, Brazilian companies that have the majority of their capital stock owned by foreign individuals and legal entities domiciled abroad are deemed “foreign investors” for the purposes of application of the restrictions on the acquisition of rural property in Brazil. The legality of such opinion has been and is currently being challenged, however prior challenges to the opinion have been unsuccessful.

A foreign investor or a Brazilian company under foreign control may only acquire rural property in Brazil without breaching the aforementioned opinion if certain conditions are met, including, among others, prior approval by the Brazilian Ministries or, in certain cases, by the Brazilian Congress. Pursuant to applicable legislation, any agreements regarding the direct or indirect ownership of rural properties by foreign individuals or entities may be considered null and void, as well as any agreements regarding corporate changes which might result in indirect acquisition or arrendamento of rural lands by foreign investors. Accordingly, the Company’s ownership of any such rural properties in Brazil may be subject to legal challenges which could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Termination of Mining Concessions

The Company’s mining concessions may be terminated in certain circumstances. Under the laws of Brazil, Mineral Resources belong to the federal government and governmental concessions are required to explore for, and exploit, Mineral Reserves. The Company will hold mining, exploration and other related concessions in each of the jurisdictions where the Company operates and where it will carry on development projects and prospects. The concessions the Company will hold in respect of its operations, development projects and prospects may be terminated under certain circumstances. Termination of any one or more of the Company’s mining, exploration or other concessions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Inflation in Brazil

In the past, high levels of inflation have adversely affected the economies and financial markets of Brazil, and the ability of its government to create conditions that stimulate or maintain economic growth. Moreover, governmental measures to curb inflation and speculation about possible future governmental measures have contributed to the negative economic impact of inflation in Brazil and have created general economic uncertainty. As part of these measures, the Brazilian government has at times maintained a restrictive monetary policy and high interest rates that have limited the availability of credit and economic growth. Brazil may experience high levels of inflation in the future. Inflationary pressures may weaken investor confidence in Brazil and lead to further government intervention in the economy, including interest rate increases, restrictions on tariff adjustments to offset inflation, intervention in foreign exchange markets and actions to adjust or fix currency values, which may trigger or exacerbate increases in inflation, and consequently have an adverse impact on the Company. In an inflationary environment, the value of uncollected accounts receivable, as well as of unpaid accounts payable, declines rapidly. If Brazil experiences high levels of inflation in the future and price controls are imposed, the Company may not be able to adjust the rates the Company charges the Company’s customers to fully offset the impact of inflation on the Company’s cost structures, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Fluctuations in the Price of Consumed Commodities

Prices and availability of commodities or inputs consumed or used in connection with exploration, development and mining, such as natural gas, diesel, oil, electricity, and reagents fluctuate and affect the costs of production at the Company’s operations. These fluctuations can be unpredictable, are beyond the control of the Company, can occur over short periods of time and may have a materially adverse impact on operating costs or the timing and costs of various projects.

Fluctuation in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The Company maintains bank accounts in Canadian, US, Australian, Mexican, Brazilian and Peruvian currencies. The Company earns revenue in US dollars while its costs are incurred in local currencies such the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Mexican peso, Brazilian real and Peruvian sol. An appreciation of these local currencies against the US dollar will increase operating, financing and capital expenditures as reported in US dollars. A decrease of these local currencies against the US dollar will result in a loss to the Company to the extent that the Company holds funds in such currencies.

The Company has, from time to time, used hedging instruments to manage its foreign exchange risk. Such instruments can be subject to material gains and losses.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 99

Dependence on Key Personnel

The Company’s success and viability depends, in large part, on its ability to attract and maintain qualified key management personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and may impact the ability to attract and retain such personnel. The Company’s growth and viability has depended, and will continue to depend, on the efforts of key personnel. The loss of any key personnel may have a material adverse effect on the Company, its business and its financial position. The Company has employment contracts with these employees but does not have key-man life insurance. The Company provides these employees with long-term incentive compensation which generally vests over several years and is designed to retain these employees and align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders.

Conflicts of Interest of Directors and Officers

Certain of the Company’s directors and officers may continue to be involved in a wide range of business activities through their direct and indirect participation in corporations, partnerships or joint arrangements, some of which are in the same business as the Company. Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions and investments where the other interests of these directors and officers may conflict with the interests of the Company. The directors and officers of the Company are required by law and the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to act in the best interests of the Company. They may have the same obligations to the other companies and entities for which they act as directors or officers. The discharge by the directors and officers of their obligations to the Company may result in a breach of their obligations to these other companies and entities and, in certain circumstances, this could expose the Company to liability to those companies and entities. Similarly, the discharge by the directors and officers of their obligations to these other companies and entities could result in a breach of their obligation to act in the best interests of the Company. Such conflicting legal obligations may expose the Company to liability to others and impair its ability to achieve its business objectives.

Concentration of Customers

The Company sells gold doré and refined concentrates containing silver, gold, lead and zinc to metals traders and smelters. During the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 97% of the Company’s revenues. The Company believes that a limited number of customers will continue to represent a significant portion of its total revenue. The Company does not consider itself economically dependent upon any single customer or combination of customers due to the existence of other potential metals traders or smelters capable of purchasing the Company’s supply. However, the Company could be subject to limited refinery or smelter availability and capacity, it could face the risk of a potential interruption of business from a third party beyond its control, or it may not be able to maintain its current significant customers or secure significant new customers on similar terms, any of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

Risks Associated with Transportation and Storage of Doré or Concentrate

The doré and concentrates produced by the Company have significant value and are transported by road, by air, and/or by ship to refineries and smelters in local countries and overseas. The geographic location of the Company’s operating mines in Brazil and Mexico, and air and trucking routes taken through the country to the refinery, smelters and ports for delivery, give rise to risks including doré or concentrate theft, road blocks and terrorist attacks, losses caused by adverse weather conditions, delays in delivery of shipments, and environmental liabilities in the event of an accident or spill.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 100

Theft of Doré or Concentrate

The Company may have significant doré and concentrate inventories at its facilities or on consignment at other warehouses awaiting shipment. The Company has experienced theft of concentrates in the past and has taken additional steps to secure its doré and concentrate, whether in storage or in transit. The Company has insurance coverage; however, recovery of the full market value may not always be possible. Despite risk mitigation measures, there remains a continued risk that theft of doré or concentrate may have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

Illegal Activity in the Countries in which the Company Operates Could Have an Adverse Effect on Operations

The Company’s primary mineral exploration and exploitation activities are conducted in Brazil, Mexico and Peru and are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks include but are not limited to, hostage taking, murder, illegal mining, high rates of inflation, corruption of government officials, blackmail, extortion and other illegal activity. Corruption of foreign officials could affect or delay required permits, service levels by foreign officials, and protection by police and other government services.

Mexico continues to undergo sometimes violent internal struggles between the government and organized crime with drug cartel relations and other unlawful activities. The number of kidnappings, violence and threats of violence throughout Mexico is of particular concern and appears to be on the rise. While the Company takes measures to protect both personnel and property, there is no guarantee that such measures will provide an adequate level of protection for the Company or its personnel. The occurrence of illegal activity against the Company or its personnel cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

In January 2016, a small amount of explosives was stolen from the GMC. While the Company has taken additional security measures, there is no assurance that theft of explosives will not occur again. Explosives are highly regulated, and any theft or loss of explosives may be subject to investigation by Mexican regulatory authorities. The Mexican regulatory authorities may elect at their discretion to exercise administrative action during or after such an investigation. Administrative action could include fines and possibly suspension of the Company’s explosives permit during the investigation period or longer, which would negatively impact the Company’s operations.

Compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws

The Company's operations are governed by, and involve interaction with, many levels of government in Brazil, Mexico and Peru. The Company is subject to various anti-corruption laws and regulations such as the Canadian Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act and the United States’ Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, each of which prohibit a company and its employees or intermediaries from bribing or making improper payments to foreign officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. In addition, the Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act recently introduced by the Canadian government contributes to global efforts to increase transparency and deter corruption in the extractive sector by requiring extractive entities active in Canada to publicly disclose, on an annual basis, specific payments made to all governments in Canada and abroad. According to Transparency International, Brazil, Mexico and Peru are each perceived as having fairly high levels of corruption relative to Canada. The Company cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which the Company's operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 101

Failure to comply with the applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations could expose the Company and its senior management to civil or criminal penalties or other sanctions, which could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Likewise, any investigation of any alleged violations of the applicable anti-corruption legislation by Canadian or foreign authorities could also have an adverse impact on the Company's business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. Although the Company has adopted policies to mitigate such risks, such measures may not be effective in ensuring that the Company, its employees or third-party agents will comply with such laws.

Acquisition Strategy

As part of Great Panther’s business strategy, the Company has made acquisitions in the past and continues to seek new acquisition opportunities in the Americas. The opportunities sought by the Company include operating mines, as well as exploration and development opportunities, with a primary focus on silver and/or gold. As a result, the Company may from time to time acquire additional mineral properties or the securities of issuers which hold mineral properties. In pursuit of such opportunities, the Company may fail to select appropriate acquisition candidates or negotiate acceptable arrangements, including arrangements to finance acquisitions or integrate the acquired businesses and their personnel into the Company, and may fail to assess the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition candidates, or to achieve identified and anticipated operating and financial synergies, and may incur unanticipated costs, diversion of management attention from existing businesses, the potential loss of the Company’s key employees or of those of the acquired business. Acquisitions may also lead to the issuance of a large number of the Company’s common shares, which would result in dilution to existing shareholders. The Company cannot assure that it can complete any acquisition or business arrangement that it pursues, or is pursuing, on favourable terms, or that any acquisitions or business arrangements completed will ultimately benefit the Company. Acquisitions may involve a number of special risks, circumstances or legal liabilities. These and other risks related to acquiring and operating acquired properties and companies could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Further, to acquire properties and companies, the Company may be required to use available cash, incur debt, issue additional securities, enter into off-take, royalty agreements or metal streaming agreements, or a combination of any one or more of these. This could affect the Company’s future flexibility and ability to raise capital, to operate, explore and develop its properties and could dilute existing shareholders and decrease the price of the common shares of the Company. There may be no right for the Company’s shareholders to evaluate the merits or risks of any future acquisition undertaken by the Company, except as required by applicable laws and regulations.

Community Relations and Social License to Operate

The Company’s relationship with the communities in which it operates is important to ensure the future success of its existing operations and the construction and development of its projects. While the Company believes its relationships with the communities in which it operates are strong, there is an increasing level of public concern relating to the perceived effect of mining activities on the environment and on communities impacted by such activities. Certain non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”), some of which oppose globalization and resource development, are often vocal critics of the mining industry and its practices. Adverse publicity generated by such NGOs or others related to extractive industries generally, or its operations specifically, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s reputation or financial condition and may impact its relationship with the communities in which it operates. While the Company believes that it operates in a socially responsible manner, there is no guarantee that the Company’s efforts in this respect will mitigate this potential risk.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 102

Volatility of Share Price

Trading prices of Great Panther’s shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for precious metals producers in particular has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s shares, regardless of operating performance.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation has been known to be initiated. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

Substantial Decommissioning and Reclamation Costs

The Company reviews and reassesses its reclamation obligations at each of its mines based on updated mine life estimates, rehabilitation and closure plans. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded a provision in the amount of $56 million for the estimated present value of future reclamation and remediation costs associated with the expected retirement of its mineral properties, plants, and equipment.

The costs of performing the decommissioning and reclamation must be funded by the Company’s operations. These costs can be significant and are subject to change. The Company cannot predict what level of decommissioning and reclamation may be required in the future by regulators. If the Company is required to comply with significant additional regulations or if the actual cost of future decommissioning and reclamation is significantly higher than current estimates, this could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

Officers and Directors Are Indemnified Against All Costs, Charges and Expenses Incurred by Them

The Company’s articles contain provisions limiting the liability of its officers and directors for all acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of themselves and all the other officers or directors for any other loss, damage or expense incurred by the Company which happen in the execution of the duties of such officers or directors, as do indemnification agreements between the directors and officers and the Company. Such limitations on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against the Company’s officers and directors and may discourage or deter shareholders from suing the officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to the Company, though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its shareholders.

Enforcement of Legal Actions or Suits

It may be difficult to enforce suits against the Company or its directors and officers. The Company is organized and governed under the laws of under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia, Canada and is headquartered in this jurisdiction. Primarily all the Company’s directors and officers are residents of Canada, and all of the Company’s assets are located outside of the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There is substantial doubt whether an original action could be brought successfully in Canada against any of such persons predicated solely upon such civil liabilities.

Dilution of Shareholders’ Interests as a Result of Issuance of Incentive Stock Options, Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") and Deferred Share Units ("DSUs") to Employees, Directors, Officers and Consultants

The Company has granted, and in the future may grant, to directors, officers, insiders, employees, and consultants, options to purchase common shares as non-cash incentives to those persons. Such options have been, and may in future be, granted at exercise prices equal to market prices, or at prices as allowable under the policies of the TSX. The issuance of additional shares will cause existing shareholders to experience dilution of their ownership interests. As at December 31, 2019, there are outstanding share options exercisable into 5,209,831 common shares which, if exercised, would represent approximately 2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares as of that date.

The Company has also granted, and in the future may grant, to directors, officers, insiders, and employees, RSUs and DSUs as incentive awards for service to those persons. Upon settlement, these awards entitle the recipient to receive common shares, a cash equivalent, or combination thereof. The choice of settlement method is at the Company’s sole discretion. As at December 31, 2019, there are vested RSUs and DSUs outstanding which could result in the issuance of up to 1,263,580 common shares. If exercised, these would represent approximately 0.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares as of that date.   

If all these incentive awards are exercised and issued, such issuance will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. The dilution may result in a decline in the market price of the Company’s common shares.

Dilution of Shareholders’ Interests as a Result of Issuances of Additional Shares

Depending on the Company’s exploration, development and capital investment plans, acquisition activities, and operating and working capital requirements, the Company may issue additional common shares as a means of raising capital. In the event that the Company is required to issue additional shares or decides to enter into joint venture arrangements with other parties in order to raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors’ interests in the Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold.

Trading of the Company’s Shares May Be Restricted by the SEC's “Penny Stock” Regulations Which May Limit a Stockholder’s Ability to Buy and Sell the Shares

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The Company’s securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (as defined). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to provide very specific disclosure to a customer who wishes to purchase a penny stock, prior to the purchase. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade the Company’s securities.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 104

The Company Does Not Expect to Declare or Pay Any Dividends

The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its common stock since inception, and does not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future.

Credit and Counterparty Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk relates primarily to cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables in the ordinary course of business, and value added tax refunds primarily due from the Mexico taxation authorities, and other receivables. The Company sells and receives payment upon delivery of its doré and concentrates primarily through international organizations. These are generally large and established organizations with good credit ratings. Payments of receivables are scheduled, routine and received within the specific terms of the contract. If a customer or counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations, or if they become insolvent, the Company may incur losses for products already shipped and be forced to sell greater volumes of concentrate than intended in the spot market, or there may be no market for the concentrates, and the Company’s future operating results may be materially adversely impacted as a result.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansion plans. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had net working capital (current assets in excess of current liabilities) of approximately $13 million, including approximately $37 million in cash and short term deposits. At December 31, 2019, the Company has total borrowings of $43 million, of which $38 million is due over the next twelve months.

Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the Company completed an $11.25 million gold doré prepayment facility with Samsung and completed an increase in its credit facility with Banco Bradesco in Brazil in March 2020.

The Company believes it has sufficient net working capital to meet operating requirements as they arise for at least the next twelve months, but there can be no assurance that a sudden significant decrease in gold or silver prices, or unforeseen liability, or other matters affecting the operations of the business might arise which will have a material impact on the Company’s sufficiency of cash reserves to meet operating requirements. In addition, further acquisitions or significant change in capital plans could significantly change the cash and working capital required by the Company. Government and industry measures to contain the spread of Covid-19 could also cause disruption to the Company’s operations and adversely impact cash-flow and liquidity.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company documented and tested its internal control procedures during its most recent fiscal year in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”). SOX requires an annual assessment by management and an independent assessment by the Company’s independent auditors of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company qualified as an “emerging growth company” under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and therefore is eligible to forego the requirements for independent assessment of its internal control procedures under SOX. Notwithstanding, the Company has undergone an independent assessment of its internal control procedures under SOX for the year ended December 31, 2019 by its independent auditors, but to the extent it retains its “emerging growth company” status, may not do so in future periods.

Great Panther Mining Limited
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 105

The Company may fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of its internal controls over financial reporting as such standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, and the Company may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that its internal controls over financial reporting are effective. The Company’s failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of its financial statements, which in turn could harm the Company’s business and negatively impact the trading price of its common shares. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the Company’s operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to remediate material weaknesses, if any, identified in future periods, or maintain all the controls necessary for continued compliance, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain sufficient skilled finance and accounting personnel, especially in light of the increased demand for such personnel among publicly traded companies. Future acquisitions of companies may provide the Company with challenges in implementing the required processes, procedures and controls in its acquired operations. Acquired companies may not have disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting that are as thorough or effective as those required by the securities laws currently applicable to the Company.

No evaluation can provide complete assurance that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be reported. The effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures could also be limited by simple errors or faulty judgment. The challenges involved in implementing appropriate internal controls over financial reporting will likely increase with the Company’s plans for ongoing development of its business and this will require that the Company continues to improve its internal controls over financial reporting. Although the Company intends to devote substantial time and incur costs, as necessary, to ensure ongoing compliance, the Company cannot be certain that it will be successful in complying with SOX.

Climate Change

Extreme weather events (for example, prolonged drought, or the increased frequency and intensity of storms) have the potential to disrupt the Company's operations and the transportation routes that the Company uses. The Company's ability to conduct mining operations depends upon access to the volumes of water that are necessary to operate its mines and processing facilities. Changes in weather patterns and extreme weather events, either due to normal variances in weather or due to global climate change, could adversely impact the Company's ability to secure the necessary volumes of water to operate its facilities.

The Coricancha mine has in the past experienced damage from flooding during periods of excessive rain. Increased precipitation, either due to normal variances in weather or due to global climate change, could result in flooding that may adversely impact mining operations and could damage the Company's facilities, plant and operating equipment. Accordingly, extreme weather events and climate change may increase the costs of operations and may disrupt operating activities, either of which would adversely impact the profitability of the Company.

Mr. Mason was a director commencing in March 2015 of the online shoe retailer Shoes.com Technologies Inc., a private BC company, and was a director commencing in September 2016 of certain of its whollyowned private subsidiary companies, including Shoes.com, Inc., a Delaware company, and Onlineshoes.com, Inc., a Washington company, but not, nor ever a director of Shoeme Technologies Limited, a Canadian Federal private company (together the “Shoes Private Companies”). In September 2016, following the resignation of the prior CFO, Mr. Mason assumed the role of interim CFO of the Shoes Private Companies. Due in part to an increasing competitive landscape, the Shoes Private Companies became insolvent, and were not believed to be financeable. The Boards of directors of the Shoes Private Companies determined that the interests of stakeholders would be best protected by placing the Shoes Private Companies into receivership in February 2017. Mr. Mason resigned as interim CFO and director of the Shoes Private Companies in February 2017.

Mr. Mason was a director of TSX-listed Company Red Eagle Mining Corporation (“Red Eagle”) commencing on January 1, 2010 continuing to his resignation on June 22, 2018. On November 9, 2018, Red Eagle’s secured lenders gave default notice and a demand letter under a secured credit facility and advised of their intention to appoint FTI Consulting as receiver over Red Eagle’s assets. Red Eagle had negotiated a restructuring, announced August 24, 2018, under which the secured lenders would write off a significant part of their debt to enable Red Eagle to recommence operations, but the restructuring was contingent upon a $38 million equity financing from Annibale SAC, personally guaranteed by its principal Fernando Palazuelo. Annibale SAC defaulted on that commitment and as a result, the restructuring could not proceed.

Mr. Ross is a Director of the Company. Mr. Ross was previously the Chief Operating Officer of RB Energy Inc. (“RBI”) from April 2014 to May 2015. On October 14, 2014, RBI applied for and obtained an Initial Order (the "Order") to commence proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA") in the Québec Superior Court (the "Court"). On October 15, 2014, RBI announced that the Court issued an Amended and Restated Initial Order in respect of RBI and certain of its subsidiaries under the CCAA, which granted an initial stay of creditor proceedings to November 13, 2014. The Order was subsequently extended to April 30, 2015. On May 8, 2015, the Court appointed a receiver, Duff & Phelps Canada Restructuring Inc., under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, and terminated the CCAA proceedings. The TTSX-de-listed RBI’s common shares effective at the close of business on November 24, 2014 for failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the TSX. Mr. Ross ceased employment as Chief Operating Officer of RBI in May 2015.

14.D. EXTERNAL AUDITOR SERVICE FEES

The following table sets out the aggregate fees billed to the Company by its external auditor, KPMG LLP, in each of the last two fiscal years:

“Audit Fees” include fees billed by the Company’s auditor related to the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, and the reviews of the Company’s interim financial statements. The increase in Audit Fees are reflective of the growth in the size of the Company as a result of the Acquisition, and also reflects some non recurring audit costs associated with the acquired company.

“All Other Fees” include fees for reviews of the Company’s filings made in relation to the Acquisition, as well as involvement with payroll audits of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries.

Various Claims related to Brazil Indirect Taxes and Labour Matters

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company has various litigation claims for a number of governmental assessments related to indirect taxes, and labour disputes associated with former employees and contract labor in Brazil.

The indirect tax matter principally relates to claims for the state sales tax, Imposto Sobre Operações Relativas à Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços de Transporte Interestadual de Intermunicipal e de Comunicações (“ICMS”), which are mostly related to rate differences. For these claims, the possibility of loss was not considered probable by the Company’s attorneys, and no provision has been recognized in the Audited Financial Statements.

The labour matters principally relate to claims made by former employees and contract labour for the equivalent payment of all social security and other related labour benefits, as well as consequential tax claims, as if they were regular employees. A provision for loss was recognized as of December 31, 2019 based on the Company’s assessment that a loss was probable related to the labor disputes.

Environmental Damages - William Creek

In May 2009, The State of Amapá Public Prosecutor (“MPAP”) filed a public civil action seeking payment for environmental damages caused to William Creek, as well as to other creeks located in the region of influence of the Zamin Amapá Mineração (“Zamin”) and Tucano mines. The alleged damage is related to the modification of the creek’s riverbed, soiling and sedimentation. In January 2018, the Amapá State Court ordered the Company to pay a fine of approximately $1.5 million plus interest and inflation counted as from the date of the damage) to the State Environmental Fund. The updated value with interest and inflation is approximately $6.7 million. The Company is in the process of appealing and the likelihood of total loss is not considered probable based on legal advice received. However, an adjusted lower fine is considered probable and the Company has accrued the amount payable considered more likely than not in long-term other liabilities, representing the Company’s best estimate of the cost to settle the claim. The Company does not expect to make any payments during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Archeological Sites Damage

Amapá-MMX Iron Ore Project

In May 2016, The Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor (“MPF”) filed a public civil action seeking compensation to be paid by Zamin, the State of Amapá and Tucano for damages to 19 archaeological sites as a result of activities in 2006-2009 at the Amapá-MMX Iron Ore Project currently owned by Zamin. MPF also claimed that the State of Amapá failed to take proper action during the environmental licensing procedure. MPF claims (i) to hold Zamin and Tucano jointly and severally liable for all alleged damages, (ii) compensatory damages according to the following parameters: (a) compensation of BRL 167 million for damages based on parameters of a report issued by the Federal Police; or (b) compensation of BRL 23.4 million; corresponding to the cost of the rescue archaeology actions that should have been carried out; or (c) the equivalent to the operating income of the defendants regarding the impacted archeological sites, from 2006 to November 2009; and (iii) compensation of BRL 10 million of each defendant for collective nonpecuniary loss to Amapá’s citizens and Brazilians in general. In March 2019, the Lower Court added Anglo Ferrous Brazil Participações and Anglo American Investimentos – Minério de Ferro Ltda (together, the “Anglo Group”) as defendants (as predecessors of Zamin), as requested by the MPF.

MPF also claimed that the State of Amapá failed to take proper action during the environmental licensing procedure. MPF claims (i) to hold Zamin and Tucano jointly and severally liable for all alleged damages, (ii) compensatory damages to be determined at the stage of liquidation of the award; and (iii) compensation of BRL 10 million of each defendant for collective nonpecuniary loss to Amapá’s citizens and Brazilians in general.

These claims against Tucano are being defended on the basis that (i) Tucano has no involvement in the Amapá-MMX Iron Ore Project and, therefore, should not have any liability for archaeological damages; (ii) the environmental licenses for the operation of the Amapari Gold Project have been duly obtained and all obligations have been fulfilled by Tucano; (iii) measures to protect the archaeological heritage were duly implemented; and (iv) there is no evidence of the damage. The likelihood of total loss is not considered probable. However, the likelihood of a partial loss with the imposition of some compensation obligations is considered probable, and, accordingly, the Company has accrued the amount payable considered more likely than not representing the Company’s best estimate of the cost to settle these claims. The Company expects any settlement to be in the form of community works or services to be undertaken over a period of 3 to 4 years.

Cyanide Usage

In October 2018, the public prosecutor’s office of labor affairs for the State of Amapá filed a public civil action seeking payment for potential damages and medical costs in relation to the Company’s employees’ exposure to cyanide used in the processing of its gold. In August 2019, a regional labour court ordered Tucano to pay compensation of approximately BRL 4 million plus interest and inflation for these damages, in addition to surveillance and funding medical costs of any diseases to Tucano’s internal and outsourced employees and former employees, and to stop using cyanide in its production process within one year from the final non-appealable decision on the proceedings. Tucano is in the process of appealing to a federal court and is not aware of any circumstances of former or current employees who have suffered health consequences from exposure to cyanide at the Company’s operations. In addition, the Company notes that the use of cyanide in the processing of gold is common in the industry within Brazil and is not prohibited by any federal law in Brazil and that the Company complies with proper safety standards in the use and handling of cyanide in its operations. The Company believes the claims are without merit and that it is too early in the process to be able to determine the ultimate outcome.  This assessment will be reviewed after a decision is reached on whether an appeal will be admitted to Superior Labor Court.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED

DECEMBER 31, 2019 and 2018

Expressed in US Dollars

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of Great Panther Mining Limited is responsible for the presentation and preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Great Panther Mining Limited and all related financial information contained in the Annual Report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. They include certain amounts that are based on estimates and judgments of management. Financial information presented elsewhere in the Annual Report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated financial statements.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has a process in place to evaluate internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO 2013"), the Internal Control-Integrated Framework. We, as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, will certify our annual filings with the CSA and SEC as required in Canada by National Instrument 52-109 and in the United States as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Company’s Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors annually and is comprised of three independent directors. The Audit Committee meets quarterly to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and on an annual basis, the independent auditors’ report. The Audit Committee recommends to the Board of Directors the independent auditors to be appointed by the shareholders at each annual meeting and reviews the independence and effectiveness of their work. The independent auditors have unrestricted access to the Company, the Audit Committee, and the Board of Directors.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2019, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO 2013"). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.

The Company acquired Beadell Resources Limited during 2019, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, Beadell Resources Limited’s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $178,575 and total revenues of $149,390 included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, as stated in their report which appears herein. KPMG LLP also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Beadell Resources Limited in their audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company as of December 31, 2019.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 16, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its accounting policies for leases as of January 1, 2019 due to the adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We are uncertain as to the year we or our predecessor firms began serving consecutively as the auditor of the Company’s financial statements; however, we are aware that we have been Great Panther Mining Limited’s auditor consecutively since at least 1997.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

Great Panther Mining Limited:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Great Panther Mining Limited’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 16, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

The Company acquired Beadell Resources Limited during 2019, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, Beadell Resources Limited’s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $178,575,000 and total revenues of $149,390,000 included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Beadell Resources Limited.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Great Panther Mining Limited (the “Company” or “Great Panther”) is a public company which is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) trading under the symbol GPR, and on the NYSE American trading under the symbol GPL and is incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The Company’s registered and records office is located at 1330 – 200 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC.

On March 5, 2019, the Company changed its name from Great Panther Silver Limited to Great Panther Mining Limited following the completion of the acquisition of Beadell Resources Limited (“Beadell”) (the “Acquisition”), a gold mining company that was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and operated the wholly-owned Tucano Gold Mine (“Tucano”) in Amapá state, northern Brazil (note 5).

The Company has two wholly-owned mining operations in Mexico: the Topia Mine (“Topia”), and the Guanajuato Mine Complex (“the GMC”) which comprises the Company’s Guanajuato Mine, the San Ignacio Mine (“San Ignacio”), and the Cata processing plant. Topia is located in the Sierra Madre Mountains in the state of Durango in northwestern Mexico, and produces concentrates containing silver, gold, lead and zinc. The GMC produces silver and gold concentrate and is located in central Mexico.

The Company also wholly-owns the Coricancha Mine Complex (“Coricancha”), a gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc mine and 600 tonnes per day processing facility, located in the central Andes of Peru, approximately 90 kilometres east of Lima. Coricancha was acquired by the Company in June 2017, having been placed on care and maintenance by its previous owner in August 2013. The Company filed a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment on Coricancha in May 2018, and in July 2018 commenced a trial stope and bulk sample program (the “BSP”) in order to further de-risk the project. The BSP was completed in June 2019, and the Company is currently running an ore processing campaign utilizing approximately 25,000 tonnes of old ore stockpiles.

The Company also owns several exploration properties: El Horcón, Santa Rosa, and Plomo in Mexico; and Argosy in Canada. The El Horcón property is located 100 kilometres by road northwest of Guanajuato, Santa Rosa is located 15 kilometres northeast of Guanajuato, and the Plomo property is located in Sonora, Mexico. The Argosy property is located in the Red Lake Mining District in northwestern Ontario, Canada.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Based on the projected operating cash flows and anticipated capital expenditures after the acquisition of Beadell, the Company obtained equity and debt financing during the year ended December 31, 2019. On July 9, 2019, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co. and Eight Capital (the “ATM Agreement”) under which it can sell common shares equal to the lesser of i) 10% of the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common shares as at the last trading day of the month before the month in which the first trade under the offering is made, and ii) aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000 (the “ATM Facility”). On August 8, 2019, the Company completed a bought deal financing, for aggregate gross proceeds of $17,250, pursuant to which the Company issued 23,000,000 common shares of the Company at the price of $0.75 per share. The Company paid a cash commission to the underwriters equal to 5% of the gross proceeds of the financing and recognized net proceeds of $15,939 after deducting share issuance costs. On December 27, 2019, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Minera Mexicana el Rosario, S.A. de C.V., was loaned and received $10,000 upon entering into a $10,000 promissory note agreement with the IXM Group (“IXM”), a metal trader (note 12(f)). Additionally, on January 6, 2020, the Company entered into a $11,250 loan and gold doré prepayment agreement with Samsung C&T U.K. Ltd. (“Samsung”) (note 26) which includes the requirement to deliver and sell approximately 3,000 ounces of gold contained in doré per month over a two-year period from Tucano to Samsung. Samsung advanced the $11,250 prepayment to Great Panther on February 4, 2020.

Great Panther MINING Limited

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

As disclosed above and in note 5, the Company acquired Beadell on March 5, 2019 (the “Acquisition Date”). On acquisition, the Company assumed $69,473 of borrowings, of which $54,748 was classified as current liabilities. Between the Acquisition Date and December 31, 2019, the Company repaid $22,529 ($32,343 Australian dollars (“A$”)) on the loan payable to MACA Limited (“MACA”), $10,524 (A$15,000) of which was settled via the issuance of 14,077,806 common shares of the Company (note 12 (a)). The Company also repaid the convertible debentures for $10,500 in cash (note 12 (b)), and the Santander – Itaú Facility in full for $5,000 in principal plus accrued interest (note 12 (c)). The Company had net new borrowings of $900 of the unsecured bank facilities (note 12(d)). Between January 1, 2020 and the date hereof, the company has repaid, in cash, a further $2,513 (A$3,714) of monthly repayments to MACA, and an additional $1,000 subsequent repayment which represented 10% of the net cash proceeds from the IXM Group Promissory Note (note 12(f)) required to be repaid to MACA and applied against the outstanding balance of the loan under the amended loan agreement (note 26(c)).

The Company has been deferring certain discretionary spending and undertaking cost reduction measures in order to minimize cash outflow requirements anticipated under the current business plan. In particular, this includes the date of the expected restart of Coricancha. The Company expects to generate positive cash flow from its mining operations in 2020. Based on the Company’s asset base and liquidity at the date of these consolidated financial statements and the funds it expects to generate from operations and financing activities, inclusive of the Samsung loan and the ATM Facility, the Company expects it will have adequate resources to meet scheduled debt repayment obligations over the next twelve months to January 1, 2021. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the longer term is dependent on successful execution of its business plan including extending the life of its mines and ultimately generating net income and positive cash flow from mining operations.

The Company has been closely monitoring the effects of the spread of the coronavirus respiratory disease (“COVID-19”) with a focus on the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and its head office location in Canada.

The rapid worldwide spread of COVID-19 is prompting governments to incrementally implement restrictive measures in an attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19. During this period of uncertainty, Great Panther’s priority is to safeguard the health and safety of personnel and host communities, support and enforce government actions to slow the spread of COVID-19, and to continually assess and mitigate the risks to the business operations.

The Company has implemented a COVID-19 response plan that includes a number of measures to safeguard against the spread of the virus at its offices and sites and is also maintaining regular communications with legal and government representatives, suppliers, customers and business partners to monitor any potential risks to its ongoing operations. Broader government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 have not impacted the Company’s operating mines in Mexico and Brazil to date and there are no confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 across the Company’s corporate offices and operations. In accordance with Peru government-mandated restrictions in response to COVID-19, Coricancha, which has been on care and maintenance with some limited mining operations, will conduct exclusively care and maintenance activities to sustain the appropriate safety and environmental systems during the National State of Emergency currently in effect until April 12, 2020 announced on March 26, 2020.

Although there have not been any impacts to the Company’s operations to date, the Company cannot provide assurance that there will not be disruptions to its operations in the future. If the Company’s operations are impacted or expected to be impacted, the Company will seek measures to preserve cash including suspension of discretionary spending and other legal means to reduce and minimize contractual spending.

(b) Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items in the statement of financial position:

· Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value;

· Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value; and

· Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value.

(c) Foreign currency translation

These consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars which is the Canadian parent company’s presentation currency and functional currency. The functional currency of ten of the Company’s subsidiaries is also the US dollar (“USD”). The functional currency of three of the Company’s Australian subsidiaries is the Australian dollar. The functional currency of five of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries is the Brazilian real (“BRL”). The functional currency of two of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries is the Mexican peso (“MXN”).

(i) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in net income.

(ii) Translation of subsidiary results into the presentation currency

The operating results and statements of financial position of the Company’s subsidiaries which have a functional currency that differs from the Company’s presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

· Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position;

· Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates, unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions; and

· All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are recognized in a separate component of equity, foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognized in net income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and money market instruments, with maturities from the date of acquisition of 90 days or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant changes in value. Transaction costs are expensed when incurred. Cash and cash equivalents are designated as financial assets at amortized cost.

(e) Inventories

Inventories consist of:

· Gold bullion, gold in circuit, ore stockpiles and concentrate inventories which are stated at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Costs include production costs and amortization and depletion directly attributable to the inventory production process. Net realizable value is the expected selling price for the finished product less the costs to put the product into saleable form and delivery to the selling location.

· Materials and supplies inventory, which includes the cost of consumables used in operations are stated at the lower of weighted average cost and replacement cost which approximates net realizable value. Major spare parts and standby equipment are included in property, plant, and equipment when they are expected to be used over more than one period, if they can only be used in connection with an item of property, plant and equipment.

· Silver bullion coins and bars are recorded at lower of cost and net realizable value.

(f) Mineral properties, plant and equipment

(i) Mineral properties

Mine development costs are capitalized if management determines that there is sufficient evidence to support probability of generating positive economic returns in the future. A mineral resource is considered to have economic potential when the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extraction of the mineral resource is demonstrable considering long-term metal prices. Therefore, prior to capitalizing such costs, management determines whether the following conditions have been met: there is a probable future benefit that will contribute to future cash inflows; the Company can obtain the benefit and control access to it; and the transaction or event giving rise to the benefit has already occurred.

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

In the event that the Company does not have sufficient evidence to support the probability of generating positive economic returns in the future, mine development costs are expensed to profit or loss. The Company expenses mine development costs for San Ignacio. In September 2015, the Company commenced expensing mine development costs for Guanajuato when the published Measured and Indicated Resources for Guanajuato represented less than twelve months of remaining production. Mine development costs incurred at the GMC includes expenditures associated with accessing mineral resources and gaining further information regarding the ore body, whether by means of ramp development, drilling or sampling. Development costs at Coricancha are expensed to date.

Producing mineral properties acquired through business acquisitions are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Where applicable, the estimated cost of mine reclamation and remediation for the property is included in the cost of mineral properties.

(ii) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is originally recorded at cost at the time of construction, purchase, or acquisition, and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Cost includes all costs required to bring the plant and equipment into a condition and location where it is capable of operating according to its intended use.

Costs incurred for major overhaul of existing equipment or infrastructure are capitalized as plant and equipment and are subject to amortization once they are commissioned. Costs associated with routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

(iii) Amortization and depletion

The Company's mineral properties in Mexico are depleted using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining life of the mine. The Company’s mineral properties at Tucano are depleted on a units of production basis over the economically recoverable reserves.

Plant and equipment directly related to the Mexico mining operations is amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated remaining life of the mine and the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. Plant and equipment directly related to the Tucano mining operations is amortized on a units of production basis over the economically recoverable reserves of the mine concerned, except in the case of assets whose useful life is shorter than the estimated remaining life of the mine, in which case the straight line method over the remaining useful life of the asset is used.

All other equipment, buildings and furniture and fixtures which do not relate directly to the mining operations are amortized over the useful life of the asset. Land is not amortized.

The following amortization rates are used by the Company for plant, equipment, buildings and furniture and fixtures which do not relate specifically to mining activities:

Computers	straight line over estimated useful life of 3 years
Furniture	straight line over estimated useful life of 5 years
Office	straight line over estimated useful life of 5 years
Software	straight line over estimated useful life of 3 years
Leasehold improvements	straight line over term of the lease

When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in profit or loss.

(g) Exploration and evaluation assets

(i) Exploration properties

Exploration properties represent properties for which the Company has not yet performed sufficient exploration work to determine whether significant mineralization exists. Exploration properties are carried at the cost of acquisition and included in exploration and evaluation assets. Exploration expenditures incurred on such properties are expensed as incurred as exploration expenditures in profit or loss. Examples of exploration expenditures that are expensed under this policy include topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies; exploratory drilling; trenching; and sampling. The Company considers its Coricancha, Santa Rosa, El Horcón, Plomo and Argosy projects to be in this category as at December 31, 2019, and consequently, expenses all costs associated with these projects as they are incurred.

(ii) Evaluation properties

Evaluation properties represent properties for which the Company has identified a mineral resource of such quantity and grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. A mineral resource is considered to have reasonable prospects for economic extraction when the Company has sufficient information to determine that extraction is viable and feasible at expected long-term metal prices. Expenditures made in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are capitalized and included in exploration and evaluation assets. Evaluation expenditures include the costs of drilling, sampling and other costs related to defining and delineating the mineral deposit.

When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources associated with the Company’s evaluation properties are demonstrable and management has made a decision to proceed with development, the capitalized costs associated with evaluation assets are reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets to mineral properties. They are tested for impairment at that time.

(iii) Amortization and depletion

Exploration and evaluation assets are not subject to depletion or amortization, but rather are tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

(h) Leased assets

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting standard IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”), which replaced IAS 17 Leases (“IAS 17”). The Company’s accounting policy for leases upon adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 is outlined in 3(r) below.

(i) Impairment of non-financial assets

Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the Company performs an impairment test by comparing the recoverable amount to the carrying amount of the relevant exploration and evaluation property. When the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount of the relevant exploration and evaluation property, an impairment charge is recorded and the property is written down to its recoverable amount. In addition, exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment at the date they are transferred to mineral properties, plant and equipment.

The Company’s mineral properties, plant and equipment are reviewed for any indication of impairment at each financial reporting date or at any time if an indicator of impairment is considered to exist. If any such indicators exist, an estimate of the recoverable amount is undertaken, being the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and the asset’s value in use. If the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount then an impairment loss is recognized in net income or loss for the period, and the carrying value of the asset on the statement of financial position is reduced to its recoverable amount. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Fair value of mineral properties is generally determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset, including any expansion prospects, discounted by an appropriate pre-tax discount rate to arrive at a net present value.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

Value in use is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and from its ultimate disposal. Value in use is determined by applying assumptions specific to the Company’s continued use which includes future development. As such, these assumptions may differ from those used in calculating fair value.

In testing for indicators of impairment and performing impairment calculations, assets are grouped into cash-generating units, which are identified as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. The estimates of future discounted cash flows are subject to risks and uncertainties including estimated production, grades, recoveries, future metals prices, discount rates, exchange rates and operating costs.

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that have suffered an impairment are evaluated for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed. When a reversal of a previous impairment is recorded, the reversal amount is adjusted for depreciation that would have been recorded had the impairment not been recorded.

(j) Share-based compensation

Equity-settled share-based compensation arrangements such as the Company’s stock option plan, restricted share unit plan, and deferred share unit plan are measured at fair value at the date of grant and recorded within equity. The fair value at grant date of all share-based compensation is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to shareholders’ equity. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect share options forfeited. The Company estimates the fair value of share options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

(k) Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of precious metals, consisting of metal concentrates and refined gold, when the customer obtains control.

For the metal concentrates sales, the customer obtains control upon delivery at the customer’s designated warehouse. The amount of revenue recorded upon initial recognition is based on the forward metal prices at that time and the estimated metal content. The payment terms are based on the individual customer contracts. For provisional payments, terms are typically 15 days from the date of provisional invoice, and for final payments, terms are typically 5 business days after the final weights, assays and prices are known and invoiced. Adjustments related to changes in metal prices and metal content up to the final settlement are recorded in revenue.

For the refined gold, the customer obtains control when the refined gold has been physically delivered, which is also the date when title has passed to the buyer and the Company has issued an invoice pursuant to a transaction confirmation that fixes the quantity and price of the gold for each delivery. The amount of revenue recorded upon delivery is based on this transaction confirmation. The Company has no significant continuing involvement after delivery and no adjustments to revenue are made subsequent to initial recognition.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(l) Reclamation and remediation provisions

The Company's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Company recognizes the cost of future reclamation and remediation as a liability when: the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and a reasonable estimate of the obligation can be made. The liability is measured initially by discounting expected costs to the net present value using pre-tax rates and risk assumptions specific to the liability. The resulting cost is capitalized to the carrying value of the related assets or expensed to profit or loss where there is no carrying value of the related assets, or where the cost is not recoverable. In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for accretion of the discount with the offsetting amount charged to the statement of comprehensive income as finance cost. Any change in the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows is adjusted to the carrying value of the liability, with the offsetting amount recorded as an adjustment to the reclamation and remediation provision cost included in mineral properties or exploration, evaluation and development expenses. Any amount charged to the carrying value of assets is depreciated over the remaining life of the relevant assets.

It is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost of remediation and reclamation could change in the future due to uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental disturbance, the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities, changes in remediation technology and changes in discount rates. The Company reviews its reclamation and remediation provision at least annually and as evidence becomes available indicating that its expected reclamation and remediation costs may have changed. Any such changes in costs could materially impact the future amounts recorded as reclamation and remediation provision.

(m) Financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, marketable securities, trade and other receivables, loan receivable, restricted cash, trade and other payables, as well as derivative instruments.

(i) Classification

The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), or fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVOCI”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial liability is classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

· it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

· its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

· it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

· its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

An equity investment that is held for trading is measured at FVTPL. For other equity investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to designate them as FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has elected to measure them at FVTPL.

(ii) Measurement

Initial measurement

On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets and liabilities classified as FVTPL, in which case the transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Subsequent measurement

The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial instruments:

Financial assets at FVTPL	These assets are subsequently measured at fair value.  Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost	These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses.  Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss.  Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVOCI	These assets are subsequently measured at fair value.  Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.  Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI	These assets are subsequently measured at fair value.  Interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss.  Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI.  On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Impairment of financial instruments

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, and debt investments at FVOCI, the Company applies the expected credit loss model. On adoption of the expected credit loss model there was no material adjustment.

(n) Income taxes

Income tax is recognized in net income or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized directly in equity.

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (temporary differences), and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in net income in the period in which the change is substantively enacted. The amount of deferred tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is, in management’s estimation, probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset (i) when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, (ii) when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority, and (iii) the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(o) Earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Company follows the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Under this method, dilution is calculated based upon the net number of common shares issued should “in-the-money” options and warrants be exercised and the proceeds be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Dilution from convertible securities is calculated based on the number of shares to be issued after taking into account the reduction of the related after-tax interest expense.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from restricted and deferred stock units and the assumed exercise of share options and warrants, if dilutive.

(p) Segment reporting

The Company has identified operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Executive Officer and the executive management team (the chief operating decision maker – “CODM”) in assessing performance and in determining allocation of resources. The CODM considers the business from both a geographic and product perspective and assesses the performance of the operating segments based on measures such as net property, plant and equipment, as well as operating results. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company’s senior management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company has determined operating segments based on this information.

Segment results that are reported to senior management include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items are comprised mainly of corporate office expenses.

(q) Deferred stripping

The Company defers certain related stripping costs during the production phase of its Tucano surface mine operation to future periods. Stripping costs that generate a benefit of improved access to future components of an ore body and meet the definition of an asset are recognized as stripping activity assets. Stripping activity assets are depreciated on a units of production basis over the useful life of the identifiable component of the ore body that becomes more accessible as a result of the stripping activity. Stripping activity assets form part of mineral properties, plant and equipment.

(r) Accounting standards issued and adopted

IFRS 16, Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, which replaced IAS 17 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees: leases of low-value assets; and short-term leases. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, at the commencement date, a lessee recognizes a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. Lessees are required to separately recognize the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. IFRS 16 also requires lessees to make more extensive disclosures than under IAS 17.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the cumulative impact of adoption is recognized as at January 1, 2019, and the comparatives are not restated. The comparatives remain as previously reported under IAS 17 and related interpretations.

Accounting Policy on Leases

The Company’s accounting policy effective January 1, 2019 upon adoption of IFRS 16 is as follows:

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

- The contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

- The Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

- The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used.

This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after January 1, 2019.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. The right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

17

Great Panther MINING Limited

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with these leases is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Impact of transition to IFRS 16

On initial application, the Company has elected to record right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability. Right-of-use assets of $1,150 and lease obligations of $1,227 were recorded as of January 1, 2019, and deferred rent liability of $77 was derecognized, with no net impact on retained earnings. When measuring lease liabilities, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied was 6.2%.

The following table reconciles the Company’s operating lease obligations at December 31, 2018, as previously disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, to the lease obligations recognized on initial application of IFRS 16 at January 1, 2019.

Operating lease commitments at December 31, 2018	$	1,383
Excluded from lease commitments due to cancellation clauses		70
Recognition exemption for low-value assets		(11	)
		1,442
Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019		(215	)
Lease obligations recognized at January 1, 2019	$	1,227

IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

Effective January 1, 2019, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) issued IFRIC 23 that sets out how to determine the accounting tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. As at January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard and there was no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

(s) Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amendments are intended to assist entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 2020 and apply prospectively. Earlier application is permitted. The Company currently does not believe the amendments will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Estimates are based on historical experience and other factors considered to be reasonable and are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.

The Company has identified the following areas where significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are made and where actual results may differ from the estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results of the Company reported in future periods.

(a) Resource estimation

The accuracy of resource estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and assumptions made and judgments used in the geological and engineering interpretation and may be subject to revision based on various factors. Changes in resource estimates may impact the carrying value of mineral property, plant and equipment, the calculation of amortization and depletion, the capitalization of mine development costs, and the timing of cash flows related to reclamation and remediation provision.

(b) Useful lives of mineral properties, plant and equipment

The Company estimates the remaining life of its producing mineral properties on an annual basis using a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors including historical results, mineral resource estimates, and management’s intent to operate the property. The estimated remaining life of the producing mineral property is used to calculate amortization and depletion expense, assess impairment charges and the carrying values of assets, and for forecasting the timing of the payment of reclamation and remediation costs.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of the remaining lives of the producing mineral properties, and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, or production costs may change the economic status of the resources, estimates of production from areas not included in the National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) reports, and management’s intent to operate the property, and may ultimately have a material impact on the estimated remaining lives of the properties.

(c) Reclamation and remediation provision

The amounts recorded for reclamation and remediation provisions are based on estimates prepared by third party environmental specialists, if available, or by persons within the Company who have the relevant skills and experience. These estimates are based on remediation activities required by environmental laws, the expected timing of cash flows, and the pre-tax risk-free interest rates on which the estimated cash flows have been discounted. These estimates also include an assumption of the rate at which costs may inflate in future periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The estimates require extensive judgment about the nature, cost and timing of the work to be completed, and may change with future changes to costs, environmental laws and regulations and remediation practices.

(d) Review of asset carrying values and assessment of impairment

The Company reviews each asset or cash generating unit at each reporting date to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any such indication exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

The determination of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use requires management to make estimates and assumptions about expected production and sales volumes, metal prices, ore tonnage and grades, recoveries, operating costs, reclamation and remediation costs, future capital expenditures and appropriate discount rates for future cash flows. The estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, and as such there is the possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further impaired or the impairment charge reduced with the impact recorded in profit or loss.

(e) Revenue from sale of precious metals

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of precious metals, consisting of metal concentrates and refined gold, when the customer obtains control, which occurs upon delivery. The determination of the point in time in which the Company transfers control of the precious metal to the customers for revenue recognition requires significant judgment.

(f) Income taxes and recoverability of deferred tax assets

In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets, the Company makes estimates related to expected future taxable income, potential tax planning opportunities, estimated timing of reversals of temporary differences, and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur which may materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company’s ability to realize the benefits from deferred tax assets.

(g) Determination of functional currencies

The determination of an entity’s functional currency is a matter of judgment based on an assessment of the specific facts and circumstances relevant to determining the primary economic environment of each individual entity within the group. The Company reconsiders the functional currencies used when there is a change in events or conditions considered in determining the primary economic environment of each entity.

(h) Lessee accounting

The determination of whether a contract contains a lease under IFRS 16 is a matter of judgment based on the assessment of the specific terms and conditions in the contract.

(i) Purchase price accounting

Significant judgments were made by management on the purchase price accounting in arriving at estimated acquisition date fair values for the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Acquisition of Beadell.

(j) Contingencies

Significant judgments were made by management in the determinations of the likelihood of loss for provisions and contingent liabilities related to the litigation and matters assumed upon the Acquisition (note 5) and acquisition of Coricancha (note 21(b)(iv)).

5. ACQUISITION OF BEADELL RESOURCES LIMITED

On the Acquisition Date, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Beadell through the issuance of 103,593,043 Great Panther common shares to Beadell shareholders, representing approximately 38% of the post-Acquisition issued and outstanding Great Panther shares. The share exchange represented a ratio of 0.0619 Great Panther shares for each Beadell share (the “Exchange Ratio”). Additionally, the Company issued 9,749,727 share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $1.317 per share to replace the warrants previously issued by Beadell. The number of Company share purchase warrants issued were equal to the number of the outstanding Beadell warrants on the Acquisition Date multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, at a price adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, on the same terms and conditions as the original warrants.

The Acquisition is a business combination and has been accounted for in accordance with the measurement and recognition provisions of IFRS 3, Business Combinations. IFRS 3 requires that the purchase consideration be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Acquisition costs consisting of advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees directly associated with the transaction to acquire Beadell of $2,923 were expensed as incurred during the year ended December 31, 2019.

On December 5, 2018, prior to the Acquisition, the Company entered into a loan agreement pursuant to which the Company advanced Beadell and its subsidiary, Mina Tucano Ltda (formerly Beadell Brasil Ltda) (“Mina Tucano”), as joint and several borrowers, a non-revolving term loan in the principal amount of $5,000 for their general working capital requirements. Prior to the Acquisition, the Company received partial repayment of $3,000 of the principal amount advanced and payment of accrued interest of $69, and the remaining principal balance of $2,000 was paid on July 11, 2019. Additionally, prior to the Acquisition, the Company also made a cash advance to Beadell of $354 in February 2019. The total outstanding balance at Acquisition of $2,370 (after adjusting for foreign exchange differences) was considered part of the exchange in the business combination and was therefore included in the liabilities assumed on the Acquisition Date.

Pursuant to IFRS 3, adjustments made within the measurement period of one year from the Acquisition Date, which ends on March 5, 2020, are recognized as if the accounting for the business combination had been completed at the acquisition date. In March 2020, the Company received a mineral resource and reserve estimate report for Tucano prepared by independent mining consultant firm, Roscoe Postle & Associates (“RPA”).  The report is dated effective September 30, 2019 and provides updated information regarding the resources and reserves at Tucano that was not available at the initial reporting of the preliminary purchase price allocation at March 31, 2019.  The Company also received an updated reclamation obligation report for Tucano during the fourth quarter of 2019. The revised resource and reserve estimates presented in the report by RPA and the revised reclamation obligation gave rise to adjustments to amounts recognized for net identifiable assets and liabilities compared to those previously recognized on acquisition on a preliminary basis. The most significant changes to the purchase price allocation includes a decrease in mineral property, plant and equipment of $29,492, an increase in the reclamation and remediation provision of $6,534, an increase in deferred income tax liability of $3,457, and an adjustment to increase goodwill by $38,682. 

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the preliminary estimates of fair value and the adjustments made pursuant to the revised estimate of mineral resources and reserves and reclamation obligation, at the Acquisition Date to arrive at the final purchase price allocation:

⁽¹⁾ The common shares were valued at the closing price of the Company’s shares on the NYSE American on March 5, 2019 was ($0.90).

The report by RPA identified a significant difference in the amount of economically recoverable resources and reserves acquired and as a result of this difference, the fair value of the mineral properties was re-measured. The decrease in fair value for the mineral properties and recognition of a higher reclamation obligation resulted in goodwill being recognized. The goodwill was determined to be impaired during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

The Company’s reported consolidated statement of profit (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as originally reported has been adjusted as if the adjustment to the purchase price allocation and the accounting for the business combination had been completed at the Acquisition Date. The following table details amounts previously reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 together with the profit or loss adjustments arising on the finalization of the accounting for the business combination:

(a) PIS/COFINS

The PIS (Program of Social Integration) and COFINS (Contribution for the Financing of Social Security) are Brazil federal input taxes that all companies in the private sector are subject to. The PIS is a mandatory employer contribution to an employee savings initiative and COFINS is a contribution to finance the social security system. Companies are required to calculate and remit PIS and COFINS based on gross revenues on a monthly basis. The Company’s Brazilian gold sales are zero-rated for PIS/COFINS purposes, however the current legislation allows for input tax credits to offset the amounts due by applying rates of 1.65% for PIS and 7.65% for COFINS, respectively, to some of the purchases in Brazil. As such, the Company has PIS/COFINS credits recorded as receivables.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The Company continues to pursue the refund of its PIS/COFINS receivables. To the extent the Company is unable to receive refunds for all of its PIS/COFINS assets, the Company expects that PIS/COFINS assets will be recovered through the Company generating future Brazilian federal tax liabilities, which can be offset against the Company’s PIS/COFINS assets if the Company elects to do so. The current portion relates to the recovery expected in 2020.

In January 2019, Beadell received a refund of $10,300 (BRL 37,900). In October 2019, the Company received an additional refund of $3,125 (BRL 13,000).

(b) Judicial deposits - Brazil

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company has various litigation claims for numerous governmental assessments related to indirect taxes, and labour disputes associated with former employees and contract labour in Brazil (note 21(b)(iv)).

Customary local regulations typically require judicial deposits. In connection with these claims, the Company has made judicial deposits totaling $1,243 to prevent the addition of any fines or penalties, pending the outcome of a Federal Supreme Court decision. Of the $1,243, $389 were related to indirect tax matters and $854 were related to labour matters. A provision of $854 was recognized for the labour matters (note 21(b)(iv)); as such, this amount was netted against the judicial deposit.

(c) Income taxes recoverable – Brazil

In Brazil, if there are income taxes payable and social contribution on net profits (“CSLL”) payable, companies are required to remit the balances owing to the tax authorities on a monthly basis. During 2017, the Company paid $785 of income taxes and CSLL, and in the third quarter of 2019, the Company paid $367 of income taxes and CSLL. However, at each of the respective fiscal year ends, upon the filing of the tax returns, it was subsequently determined that the Company was in a taxable loss position. Therefore, a total of $1,152 is recoverable from the tax authorities. As the Company is not expecting to receive the refunds within one year, this balance has been classified as non-current.

(a) MACA Limited

Prior to the Acquisition, Beadell had an outstanding loan in the amount of $38,822 (A$54,700) due to MACA. Under its original terms, the loan was to become due and payable on a change of control of Beadell, absent MACA’s consent to the change of control. One of the key closing conditions of the Acquisition was the negotiation of a modification on MACA’s outstanding loan due from Beadell on terms satisfactory to the Company. The Company reached an agreement with MACA on November 19, 2018 on the modifications of the loan. Under the agreement, MACA agreed to consent to the change of control, keep the loan in place with a term to June 2022 and make the following amendments effective from the date of the Acquisition:

(All dollar amounts in millions of A$)	Original Loan	As Amended
Principal Amount	A$54.7	A$54.7
% of the net cash proceeds from any third-party debt or equity financing required to be paid to MACA and applied against the outstanding balance of the loan	30%	10%
% of the net proceeds from any exercise of warrants required to be paid to MACA and applied against the outstanding balance of the loan	30%	20%
Principal repayment of loan during 2019	A$12.0	A$16.5
Ultimate parent guarantee	Full balance	First A$6.0 of repayments
Principal repayment of Loan during 2020	A$18.0	A$18.0
Conversion right	100% of Loan (1)	A$15.0 (2)

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

⁽¹⁾ Conversion subject to shareholder approval.

⁽²⁾ MACA's conversion right under the amended terms provides for a limit of A$5.0 million in each quarter following the date of the Acquisition at a 5% discount to the 20-day volume weighted average price. Any principal amount of the loan which is converted to Great Panther shares will reduce the outstanding balance of the loan, with 50% to be applied to reduce the remaining monthly payments on a pro-rata basis with the exception of the A$6.0 million guaranteed payments. 

Interest is payable on the MACA loan at the Reserve Bank of Australia reserve rate plus 5% per annum. To December 31, 2019, MACA exercised, in full, its conversion rights on $10,524 (A$15,000) of its loan, converting this amount into 14,077,806 common shares of the Company. The Company also made cash repayments to MACA totaling $12,005 (A$17,343) from the date of the Acquisition to December 31, 2019, including $1,619 (A$2,385) which represented 10% of the net cash proceeds from the bought deal financing (note 15(f)) required to be paid to MACA and applied against the outstanding balance of the loan under the amended loan agreement. Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the Company made monthly principal repayments to MACA totaling $2,513 (A$3,714), and an additional $1,000 repayment which represented 10% of the net cash proceeds from the IXM Group Promissory Note (note 12(f)) required to be repaid to MACA and applied against the outstanding balance of the loan under the amended loan agreement (note 26(c)). The Company must make monthly principal repayments of A$1,238 until the loan is repaid. As the Company has completed the first A$6,000 of repayments, the loan is no longer subject to a guarantee by Great Panther Mining Limited and is not secured by any assets of the Company.

(b) Convertible Debentures (“Convertible Debentures”)

Prior to the Acquisition, Beadell had Convertible Debentures of $10,000 outstanding, maturing on June 30, 2023. As defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Debentures (“Debenture Indenture”), upon the occurrence of a change of control, Beadell was required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Purchase Offer”) to purchase all Convertible Debentures at a price per Convertible Debenture equal to 105% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company assumed the obligations of Beadell under the Debenture Indenture, including funding the Change of Control Purchase Offer.

On April 3, 2019, all holders of the Convertible Debentures accepted the Company’s Change of Control Purchase Offer and the Company repurchased all of the Convertible Debentures for an aggregate price of $10,500 ($10,000 principal and $500 change of control premium), plus accrued interest of $155.

(c) Santander – Itaú Facility

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company assumed Beadell’s credit facility with Santander – Itaú which was interest bearing at a fixed interest rate of 5.9% per annum and fully secured by a charge over the Tucano mining concession. In June 2019, the Company repaid the facility in full (principal of $5,000 plus accrued interest).

(d) Unsecured bank facilities

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company assumed Beadell’s unsecured, revolving, interest-bearing bank facilities totaling $15,000, the maximum amount available under these facilities, plus accrued interest of $29. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company obtained an additional $1,500 of bank facilities, and received net proceeds of $900 during the year ended December 31, 2019. The unsecured bank facilities are interest bearing at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 5.3% per annum and are repayable from January 2020 to December 2020. These facilities have a history of being rolled over and it is the expectation of the Company that this continues.

(e) Bank overdraft

The Company has a bank overdraft with a maximum amount of $744 (BRL 3,000) of which $589 (BRL 2,370) was drawn as at December 31, 2019. This overdraft account is interest bearing at a fixed rate of 1.00% per month, payable monthly.

(f) IXM Group Promissory Note

On December 27, 2019, Minera Mexicana El Rosario, S.A. de C.V. (“MMR”), the Mexican operating subsidiary of Great Panther, received a loan and issued a promissory note (“Promissory Note”) in the amount of $10,000 to IXM S.A. (“IXM”). The Promissory Note matures on December 31, 2020 and bears interest at an annual rate of 3-month USD LIBOR plus 5%, accruing daily. Any loan principal and accrued interest not previously repaid are repayable on December 31, 2020. The Promissory Note is supported by a guarantee from Great Panther. Under the terms of the Promissory Note, Great Panther is required to comply with the following financial covenants:

· Consolidated cash and cash equivalents of not less than $10,000 on a quarterly basis as at the balance sheet date;

· Consolidated net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of not more than 2 to 1, as measured on a quarterly basis as at the balance sheet date for the trailing 12 months period then ended; and

· Consolidated total debt to total assets ratio of not more than 0.5 to 1, as measured on a quarterly basis as at the balance sheet date.

Great Panther was in compliance with all of these covenants as at December 31, 2019.

MMR also entered into an offtake agreement dated December 27, 2019 (the “Offtake Agreement”) for the sale of silver-gold concentrate produced at the GMC to Compromin S.A. de C.V. (“Compromin”), IXM’s subsidiary. As stated in the Offtake Agreement, IXM, at its sole discretion, may set off any payment obligation under the Offtake Agreement against any amount outstanding under the Promissory Note. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Promissory Note), the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Note with any accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable to IXM’s subsidiary become immediately due and payable.

13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

A significant portion of the Company’s capital, exploration, operating and administrative expenditures are incurred in BRL and MXN, while revenues from the sale of refined gold and metal concentrates are denominated in USD. The fluctuation of the USD in relation to the BRL and MXN, consequently, impacts the reported financial performance of the Company. To manage the Company’s exposure to changes in the BRL and MXN exchange rate, the Company enters into forward contracts to purchase foreign currencies in exchange for USD at various rates and maturity dates.

As at December 31, 2019, non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts for BRL against USD totaling BRL 418,238 (December 31, 2018 – $nil) at various pre-determined rates ranging from BRL 4.03/USD to BRL 4.32/USD, at various maturity dates until September 2020, were outstanding. The fair value of these outstanding non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts resulted in an asset of $3,454 at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $nil). A non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contract does not require physical delivery of the designated currencies at maturity.

As at December 31, 2019, there were no outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of MXN in exchange for USD (December 31, 2018 – MXN 345,000 of forward contracts outstanding for which the fair value resulted in an asset of $738).

14. RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION PROVISION

The Company’s reclamation and remediation provision relates to site restoration, clean-up, ongoing treatment, and monitoring at Tucano in Brazil, the GMC and Topia in Mexico, and Coricancha in Peru.

Reclamation and remediation provision, end of period	$	55,574	$	27,420

In 2019, the change in reclamation estimates at the GMC were $6,829 (2018 –$214) and the change in reclamation estimates at Topia were $2,923 (2018 – $nil). These were expensed to exploration, evaluation and development expenses as development costs are expensed for the site or the costs are not recoverable.

The reclamation and remediation provision for the GMC and Topia operations is based on the following assumptions:

	2019			2018
Total estimated cash flows	$	13,255		$	3,684
Expected settlement of obligations (years)		2021 – 2045			2021 – 2044
Weighted average risk-free rate (discount rate)
GMC		1.9	%		2.7	%
Topia		2.1	%		2.8	%

A 1% change in the discount rate while holding the other assumptions constant would decrease or increase the provision by $1,131.

The reclamation and remediation provision for Coricancha is based on the following assumptions:

	2019			2018
Total estimated cash flows	$	33,795		$	33,941
Expected settlement of obligations (years)		2020 – 2049			2019 – 2047
Weighted average risk-free rate (discount rate)		3.4	%		5.4	%

A 1% change in the discount rate would decrease or increase the provision by $1,479 while holding the other assumptions constant.

15. SHARE CAPITAL

(a) Authorized share capital

The Company has an unlimited number of common shares without par value authorized for issue. The Company has an unlimited number of Class A and Class B preferred shares without par value authorized for issue. Each class can be issuable in series. No preferred shares have ever been issued.

(b) Share options

In June 2017, upon approval by shareholders, the Company adopted an Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) to supplement and eventually replace the then-existing stock option plan (the "2016 Plan"). Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, the Company may grant stock options (“Options”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance based restricted share units (“PSUs”), and deferred share units (“DSUs”) to eligible employees, officers, directors, or consultants. The maximum number of common shares that the Company may issue is limited to 10% of the outstanding common shares, less the number of stock options already outstanding pursuant to the 2016 Plan and the Omnibus Plan, less twice the number of common shares counted as RSU, PSU, and DSU awards. There are additional limits with respect to insiders, individual grants, annual grants, and the number of which may be awarded to non-executive directors.

Options granted under the 2016 Plan will remain outstanding and be governed by the terms of the 2016 Plan. Options granted after the adoption of the Omnibus Plan will be governed by the Omnibus Plan.

Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, options are non-transferable. The exercise price of options shall not be less than the closing price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the last business day immediately preceding the date of grant. Grant date share price is the closing market price on the day the options were granted. Options have expiry dates of no later than 10 years after the date of grant and will cease to be exercisable three months following the termination of the participant’s employment or engagement.

Pursuant to the 2016 Plan, options are non-transferable, subject to permitted transferees, and the aggregate may not exceed 10% of the outstanding shares at the time of an option grant and the aggregate to any one person may not exceed 5% of the outstanding shares. The exercise price of options is determined by the Board but shall not be less than the closing price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the last business day immediately preceding the date of grant. Grant date share price is the closing market price on the day the options were granted. Options have expiry dates of no later than 5 years after the date of grant and cease to be exercisable 90 days following the termination of the participant’s employment or engagement.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense relating to share options of $552 (2018 – $611).

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 was C$0.38 (2018 – C$0.66). The grant date fair value of share options granted was determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

	2019			2018
Risk-free interest rate		1.36	%		1.95	%
Expected life (years)		3.05			2.89
Annualized volatility		54	%		62	%
Forfeiture rate		15	%		14	%

The annualized volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common share price on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

(c) Restricted share units ("RSUs"), Performance based restricted share unit (“PSUs”) and Deferred share units ("DSUs")

RSUs are awards for service which upon vesting and settlement entitle the recipient to receive common shares, a cash equivalent, or a combination thereof. Vesting conditions for RSUs are set by the Board but cannot exceed three years. The choice of settlement method is at the Company's sole discretion. The RSUs granted to date vest in several tranches over three years. An estimated forfeiture rate calculated and updated based on historical forfeitures and cancellations was used in the determination of fair value for the purposes of computing share-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements.

PSUs are a subset of RSUs, however PSUs have one or more performance conditions. PSUs may only be settled through the issuance of common shares.

DSUs are awards to participants for directorship which settle upon termination of service of the participant. Vesting conditions for DSUs are set by the Board. Upon settlement, DSUs entitle the recipient to receive common shares, a cash equivalent, or a combination thereof. The choice of settlement method is at the Company's sole discretion. Timing of settlement after vesting occurs is at the discretion of the participant and can be any time between the date of termination of service of the participant and December 15th of the following calendar year. The DSUs granted to date have vested immediately.

The fair values of the DSUs and RSUs granted to employees and directors have been estimated by reference to the fair value on the grant date of the equity instruments granted. The Company has no history of paying dividends, and consequently, no amounts in respect of dividends were included in the estimates of fair value of the equity instruments granted.

18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

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 (interest rate, yield curves), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The following sets up the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments.

Financial asset or liability	Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value
Trade receivables	Trade receivables arising from the sales of metal concentrates are subject to provisional pricing, and the final selling price is adjusted at the end of the quotational period.  The Company marks these to market at each reporting date based on a quoted forward price.  The Company’s trade receivables are valued using quoted market prices on the London Metal Exchange.
Derivative instruments	The Company's derivative assets and derivative liabilities are comprised primarily of forward foreign exchange contracts.  The fair value of the Company's forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at each reporting date.
Borrowings	The Company’s borrowings are comprised of long-term loans, convertible debentures and debt facilities.  Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred.  Subsequent to initial measurement, borrowings are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers of amounts between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value is not presented if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables, restricted cash, trade payables, borrowings and derivative instruments. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the items or the inclusion of interest rates that approximate market rates.

In evaluating fair value information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates. The use of different market assumptions and valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments as at December 31, 2019:

	Fair value through OCI		Fair value through P&L		Amortized cost		Total		Fair value hierarchy

19. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to:

· ensure there are adequate capital resources to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;

· maintain adequate levels of cash to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties, exploration and evaluation assets, and the operation of producing mines;

· maintain investor, creditor and market confidence to sustain future development of the business; and

· provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

In assessing the capital structure of the Company, management includes in its assessment the components of shareholders’ equity and debt, net of cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits. Tucano, Topia and San Ignacio are in production, but exploration and development activities are also performed at these and other exploration properties in order to identify further reserves and resources. Additionally, for Coricancha which has been on care and maintenance since August 2013, the Company continues to evaluate the timeline and conditions for a potential re-start. The Company plans to use existing cash, including cash raised from equity and debt financing during the year ended December 31, 2019, as well as funds from future sales of precious metals to fund operations, development and exploration activities, and capital expenditures.

The Company manages its capital in a manner that provides sufficient funding for operational activities. Annual capital and operating expenditure budgets, and rolling forecasts, are used to determine the necessary capital requirements. These budgets are approved by management and the Board and updated for changes in the underlying assumptions, economic conditions and risk characteristics of the underlying assets, as necessary. Since the Acquisition, based on current projected operating cash flows and anticipated capital expenditures, the Company obtained equity and debt financing as described in note 1. The Company will continue to focus on internally generating operating cash flow to minimize its future reliance on equity and debt financing. However, the Company may determine that it requires further financing through the offering of its share capital via the ATM Facility, and/or other equity and debt financing, in order to meet long-term objectives.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The Company’s capital structure is dependent on expected business growth and changes in the business environment. As at December 31, 2019, the Company was not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.

The Company is exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risks such as currency risk, interest rate risk, and commodity price risk.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's exposures to credit risk arise from cash and short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, and loan receivable. Lesser exposures arise from holdings of marketable securities, and from other receivables.

The risk is assessed by performing an aging analysis of trade receivables, and through the review of credit ratings of the counterparties with which the Company does business.

The Company manages such credit risks by diversifying bank deposits, and placing funds only in large Canadian, Brazilian and Mexican financial institutions. The Company’s investments are subject to internal investment guidelines and they mature at various dates but rarely in excess of one year.

All of the Company’s precious metal sales are to large international metals trading companies and/or smelters that have been in business for many years. For sale of metal concentrates, the Company typically receives provisional payments, within days after delivery, of up to 95% of the value of each shipment. For sale of refined gold, the Company typically receives payment in full on the day of delivery. The Company historically has not had difficulty collecting receivables from its customers, nor have customers defaulted on any payments.

There is no trade receivable related to the refined gold sales as at December 31, 2019. The aging of trade receivables from metal concentrate sales is as follows:

	December 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
0 to 30 days	$	4,121		$	2,572
31 to 60 days		389			455
61 to 90 days		150			(99	)
over 90 days		(55	)		11
	$	4,605		$	2,939

There has been no notable change in the Company's approach to credit risk management since the prior year.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's exposure to liquidity risk arises from its trade and other payables. The Company regularly prepares rolling cash flows to identify and assess such liquidity risks.

44

Great Panther MINING Limited

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The Company manages liquidity risk by preparing annual budgets for approval by the Board and preparing cash flow and liquidity forecasts on a quarterly basis.

The Company assumed $69,473 of borrowings upon the Acquisition, $54,748 of which was classified as current. Accordingly, there has been a notable change in the Company's approach to liquidity risk management since the prior year. Since the Acquisition, the Company has been actively assessing and monitoring its cash balance to meet its business objectives and its debt obligations in the next twelve months. The Company has obtained both equity and debt financing to ensure there are funds available to fulfill these needs (note 1). The Company has also been deferring certain discretionary spending and undertaking cost reduction measures in order to minimize cash outflow requirements anticipated under the current business plan.

(c) Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that foreign exchange rates will fluctuate significantly from expectations. The Company's exposure to currency risk arises from its operations in Canada, Brazil, Mexico and Peru, where payments to vendors and employees are often in local currency, yet substantially all of the Company's revenues are realized in USD. Further, the Company holds a portion of its cash in currencies other than USD.

To manage this risk, the Company holds as small of an amount as practical in foreign currencies. To mitigate the Company’s exposure to changes in the exchange rates of BRL and MXN against USD, the Company may and has entered into forward currency contracts as it deems prudent. There are limits on the extent of such contracts, in excess of which Board approval is required.

For financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies as at December 31, 2019, a 10% change in the prevailing exchange rates as at December 31, 2019, with all other variables held constant, would have the following impact on the Company’s earnings:

Change in net income arising from:	Canadian dollars			Brazilian real			Australian dollars			Mexican pesos			Peruvian soles
10% appreciation of the USD against the currency	$	81		$	(8,275	)	$	1,709		$	(390	)	$	245
10% depreciation of the USD against the currency	$	(81	)	$	8,275		$	(1,709	)	$	390		$	(245	)

The closing exchange rates for December 31, 2019 of BRL/USD of 4.031 (2018: not applicable), MXN/USD of 18.876 (2018: 19.657), AUD/USD of 1.423 (2018: not applicable), PEN/USD of 3.319 (2018: 3.370), and CAD/USD of 1.299 (2018: 1.365) were used in the above analysis.

(d) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the possibility that change in market interest rates will affect future cash flows. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and borrowings. The Company’s approach is to invest cash in savings accounts and guaranteed investment certificates at fixed and floating rates of interest over varying maturities. The Company manages this risk by monitoring changes in interest rates and by maintaining a relatively short duration for the Company's portfolio of cash equivalent securities. Many of these instruments can be immediately redeemed and those of a fixed term do not exceed one year. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable interest rate borrowings, specifically the MACA loan (note 12(a)) and the IXM Promissory Note (note 12(f)). Additionally, the unsecured bank facilities (note 12(d)) are expected to roll over as they become due and are therefore subject to interest rate changes.

45

Great Panther MINING Limited

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

There has been no notable change in the Company's approach to interest rate risk management since the prior year.

For interest-bearing financial instruments as at December 31, 2019, an increase or decrease in interest rate of 1% applied would increase or decrease net income and comprehensive income by $126.

(e) Commodity price risk

The Company is subject to risk from fluctuations in the market prices of gold, silver, lead and zinc. Such fluctuations directly affect the Company's reported revenues.

The profitability of the Company’s operations is highly correlated to the market prices of these metals, as is the ability of the Company to develop its mineral properties and exploration and evaluation assets. The value of trade receivables at the reporting date also depends on changes in metal prices until finalization of sales prices per the contractual quotational period.

If metal prices decline for a prolonged period below the cost of production of the Company's mines, it may not be economically feasible to continue production.

The Company has a stated policy that it will not engage in long-term hedging of gold and silver prices.

There was no notable change in the Company’s approach to commodity price risk management since the prior year until December 31, 2019. However, subsequent to December 31, 2019, to manage the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the gold price, the Company purchased financial gold put options (note 26(b)).

For provisionally priced trade receivables, a 10% change in the prevailing commodity prices as at December 31, 2019, with all other variables held constant, would have the following impact on the Company’s earnings:

	10% change in gold		10% change  in silver		10% change  in lead		10% change in zinc
Change in net income	$	402	$	641	$	82	$	186

21. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(b) Contingencies

(i) GMC

Tailings storage

In February 2016, the Mexican national water authority, Comisión Nacional del Agua ("CONAGUA"), required that the Company make formal applications for permits associated with the occupation and construction of the tailings storage facility ("TSF") at the GMC. The Company filed its applications, and the authorities conducted an inspection of the TSF and requested further technical information, which the Company submitted in December 2017. CONAGUA responded in February 2019 requesting additional technical information. The Company is currently reviewing the request and will provide its response in due course.

Additional water use permits

Since the February 2016 correspondence with CONAGUA, the Company has also determined through its own undertakings, that additional CONAGUA permits may be needed in connection with water discharge and water use at the GMC’s TSF. The Company is assessing technical options and is confirming if additional water use permits are required. The Company believes that it will be able to address or mitigate the need for any necessary water discharge and use permits without any impact to its operations but cannot provide complete assurance that there is no risk in this regard. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company received the authorization to legally discharge wastewater from San Ignacio.

Amendment to Environmental Impact Statement related to expansion of existing tailings dam

In July 2017, the Company submitted to the Mexican environmental permitting authority, Secretaría del Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales ("SEMARNAT"), an amendment to the Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) requesting an expansion of the existing tailings dam, and subsequently provided further information to the SEMARNAT as requested. This is under review by the regulator, and if approved, will satisfy a requirement by CONAGUA for the processing of permits noted above.

The Company believes its current tailings footprint can be maintained and can support operations at the GMC until at least 2021. Based on its meetings and other communication with CONAGUA, the Company believes that it will be able to obtain all the above noted permits, with no suspension of operations at the GMC. However, the Company cannot assure that the tailings permits will be obtained or renewed on reasonable terms, or at all. Delays or a failure to obtain such required permits, or the issuance of permits on unfavourable terms or the expiry, revocation or failure by the Company to comply with the terms of any such permits, if obtained, could limit the ability of the Company to expand the tailings facility and could adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue operating at the GMC. In either case, the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected.

(ii) Topia

Reviews by the regulatory authorities dating back to 2015, coupled with permitting work undertaken by the Company in connection with the expansion of the Topia TSF, have led to a broader review by the Mexican environmental compliance authority, the Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente ("PROFEPA"), and by the Company of all of Topia operations’ permitting status and environmental compliance (including the historical tailings dating back to periods prior to Great Panther’s ownership) and a clarification of land titles. Devised as a cooperative management strategy, Topia has been accepted into a voluntary environmental audit program supported by PROFEPA. The audit commenced during the second quarter of 2017. The Company is working on a compliance program authorized by PROFEPA to address the audit findings and has until January 2021 to complete this after being approved for an extension request from the previous deadline of January 2020. This compliance program includes remediation and technical reviews as defined by the audit. Progress updates will be submitted to PROFEPA for further review. The Company anticipates that it will be able to achieve full compliance; however, the Company cannot provide complete assurance that upon completion of the compliance program further reviews will not lead to future suspensions of operations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share data)

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the Company announced that it had temporarily ceased dry tailings deposition at its Topia Phase II TSF following receipt of a report from the independent tailings management and geotechnical consultants engaged by the Company to evaluate the TSF. The March 9, 2020 disclosure anticipated that mining and processing activities at Topia might cease by the end of March 2020 but these activities are now expected to continue uninterrupted at current levels until at least the end of April 2020 by way of storing dry tailings at and near the filtration plant. Filtration of tailings for dry stacking at Topia commenced in 2017.

The Company is continuing discussions with geotechnical and tailings management consultants regarding ongoing observations and assessments, while continuing to monitor conditions at the TSF. Alternatives to minimize any potential cessation of processing activities in 2020 are being evaluated, including re-commencement of tailings deposition at the Phase II TSF (if satisfactory mitigation measures can be achieved), and normal course permitting for the Phase III TSF, which is already at an advanced state. While the Company cannot be certain of the timeline to permit the Phase III TSF, it expects it can obtain the necessary permit within the next three to six months.

If one of the aforementioned alternatives is not in place by the end of April 2020, mill processing activities will temporarily cease until either Phase III is permitted or suitable mitigation of Phase II can be achieved. The Company is also evaluating the continuation of mining and stockpiling of ore if a temporary cessation of mill processing activities were to occur.

(iii) Coricancha

Coricancha has been on care and maintenance since August 2013 and was operated by a number of previous companies before that date. It is subject to oversight by the Organismo de Evaluación y Fiscalización Ambiental ("OEFA"), the Peruvian public agency responsible for environmental assessment and inspection, and by the Organismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Energía y Minería ("OSINERGMIN"), which is the Peruvian regulatory body with oversight responsibility over energy and mining companies.

Fines and sanctions

Nyrstar has agreed to reimburse the Company for all fines or sanctions that resulted from activities or ownership of Coricancha prior to June 30, 2017, up to a maximum of $4,000. Accordingly, a reimbursement right in the amount of $1,522 (note 10) has been recorded in respect of the following fines or sanctions:

· $1,345 for fines and sanctions which may be levied by OSINERGMIN. In addition, there are open administrative and judicial proceedings by OSINERGMIN, the outcomes of which are not yet readily determinable.

· $177 for fines and sanctions to be levied by OEFA. In addition, there are open administrative and judicial proceedings by OEFA, the outcomes of which are not yet readily determinable.

The Company has accrued for and recorded a further reimbursement right of $396 (note 10) for certain civil lawsuits filed by individuals and former suppliers.

Legacy tailings facilities

The Company has undertaken the reclamation of certain legacy tailings facilities at Coricancha under a remediation plan approved by the Ministry of Energy and Mines (the “MEM”), the relevant regulatory body. In addition, as part of the purchase of Coricancha completed in June 2017, the Company has an agreement with Nyrstar for the reimbursement of the cost of these reclamation activities. The Company is seeking approval of a modification to a remediation plan from MEM in accordance with the recommendations of an independent consultant to preserve the stability of nearby areas. The Company has changed the scheduling of the reclamation work, pending a decision from the MEM regarding the proposal to modify the approved remediation plan. Concurrently, the Company has undertaken various legal measures to protect itself from any pending or future fines, penalties, regulatory action or charges from government authorities which may be initiated as a result of the change in timing of reclamation under the proposed plan. Although the Company has all necessary permits to restart Coricancha, if this matter is not resolved favourably, it may impact the Company’s stated plans and objectives for Coricancha.

(iv) Tucano

Various claims related to Brazil indirect taxes and labour matters

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company has various litigation claims for a number of governmental assessments related to indirect taxes, and labour disputes associated with former employees and contract labor in Brazil.

The indirect tax matter principally relates to claims for the state sales tax, Imposto Sobre Operações Relativas à Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços de Transporte Interestadual de Intermunicipal e de Comunicações (“ICMS”), which are mostly related to rate differences. For these claims, the possibility of loss was not considered probable by the Company’s attorneys, and no provision has been recognized.

The labour matters principally relate to claims made by former employees and contract labour for the equivalent payment of all social security and other related labour benefits, as well as consequential tax claims, as if they were regular employees. As of December 31, 2019, the items for which a loss was probable related to the labor disputes, inclusive of any related interest, amounted to approximately $3,009, for which a provision was recognized.

In connection with the above proceedings, a total of $1,243 of escrow cash deposits were made as at December 31, 2019 (note 6), of which $854 were related to labour matters. Generally, any escrowed amounts would be refundable to the extent the matters are resolved in the Company’s favour.

Environmental damages - William Creek

In May 2009, The State of Amapá Public Prosecutor (“MPAP”) filed a public civil action seeking payment for environmental damages caused to William Creek, as well as to other creeks located in the region of influence of the Zamin Amapá Mineração (“Zamin”) and Tucano mines. The alleged damage is related to the modification of the creek’s riverbed, soiling and sedimentation. In January 2018, the Amapá State Court ordered the Company to pay a fine of approximately $1,500 (BRL 6,000 plus interest and inflation counted as from the date of the damage) to the State Environmental Fund. The updated value with interest and inflation is approximately $6,700 (BRL 27,000). The Company is in the process of appealing and the likelihood of total loss is not considered probable based on legal advice received. However, an adjusted lower fine is considered probable and the Company has accrued the amount payable considered more likely than not in long-term other liabilities, representing the Company’s best estimate of the cost to settle the claim. The Company does not expect to make any payments during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Archeological sites damage

Amapá-MMX Iron Ore Project

In May 2016, The Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor (“MPF”) filed a public civil action seeking compensation to be paid by Zamin, the State of Amapá and Tucano for damages to 19 archaeological sites as a result of activities in 2006-2009 at the Amapá-MMX Iron Ore Project currently owned by Zamin. MPF also claimed that the State of Amapá failed to take proper action during the environmental licensing procedure. MPF claims (i) to hold Zamin and Tucano jointly and severally liable for all alleged damages, (ii) compensatory damages according to the following parameters: (a) compensation of BRL 167 million for damages based on parameters of a report issued by the Federal Police; or (b) compensation of BRL 23.4 million; corresponding to the cost of the rescue archaeology actions that should have been carried out; or (c) the equivalent to the operating income of the defendants regarding the impacted archeological sites, from 2006 to November 2009; and (iii) compensation of BRL 10 million of each defendant for collective nonpecuniary loss to Amapá’s citizens and Brazilians in general. In March 2019, the Lower Court added Anglo Ferrous Brazil Participações and Anglo American Investimentos – Minério de Ferro Ltda (together, the “Anglo Group”) as defendants (as predecessors of Zamin), as requested by the MPF.

Amapari Project

In June 2016, the MPF filed a public civil action seeking compensation from Zamin, the State of Amapá, and Tucano for damages to 15 archaeological sites, as a result of activities in 2004-2010 at the Amapari Project. MPF also claimed that the State of Amapá failed to take proper action during the environmental licensing procedure. MPF claims (i) to hold Zamin and Tucano jointly and severally liable for all alleged damages, (ii) compensatory damages to be determined at the stage of liquidation of the award; and (iii) compensation of BRL 10 million of each defendant for collective nonpecuniary loss to Amapá’s citizens and Brazilians in general.

These claims against Tucano are being defended on the basis that (i) Tucano has no involvement in the Amapá-MMX Iron Ore Project and, therefore, should not have any liability for archaeological damages; (ii) the environmental licenses for the operation of the Amapari Gold Project have been duly obtained and all obligations have been fulfilled by Tucano; (iii) measures to protect the archaeological heritage were duly implemented; and (iv) there is no evidence of the damage. The likelihood of total loss is not considered probable. However, the likelihood of a partial loss with the imposition of some compensation obligations is considered probable, and, accordingly, the Company has accrued the amount payable considered more likely than not representing the Company’s best estimate of the cost to settle these claims. The Company expects any settlement to be in the form of community works or services to be undertaken over a period of 3 to 4 years.

Cyanide usage

In October 2018, the public prosecutor’s office of labor affairs for the State of Amapá filed a public civil action seeking payment for potential damages and medical costs in relation to the Company’s employees’ exposure to cyanide used in the processing of its gold. In August 2019, a regional labour court ordered Tucano to pay compensation of approximately BRL 4 million plus interest and inflation for these damages, in addition to surveillance and funding medical costs of any diseases to Tucano’s internal and outsourced employees and former employees, and to stop using cyanide in its production process within one year from the final non-appealable decision on the proceedings. Tucano is in the process of appealing to a federal court and is not aware of any circumstances of former or current employees who have suffered health consequences from exposure to cyanide at the Company’s operations. In addition, the Company notes that the use of cyanide in the processing of gold is common in the industry within Brazil and is not prohibited by any federal law in Brazil and that the Company complies with proper safety standards in the use and handling of cyanide in its operations. The Company believes the claims are without merit and that it is too early in the process to be able to determine the ultimate outcome.  This assessment will be reviewed after a decision is reached on whether an appeal will be admitted to Superior Labor Court.

24. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company’s operations are all within the mining sector, consisting of three operating segments, two of which are located in Mexico, one of which is located in Brazil, plus one segment associated with Coricancha in Peru, one Exploration segment and one Corporate segment. Due to diversities in geography and production processes, the Company operates the Tucano, the GMC, and Topia mines separately, with separate budgeting and evaluation of results of operations and exploration activities. The Coricancha segment contains the net assets associated with Coricancha and the cost of its exploration, evaluation and development activities are separately budgeted and reported. The Corporate segment provides financial, human resources and technical support to the three mining operations and Coricancha. The GMC operation produces silver and gold in concentrate, and the Topia operation produces silver, gold, lead and zinc in concentrate, for refining off site. The Tucano operation produces gold doré. The Exploration segment includes the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets at Santa Rosa, El Horcón, Plomo and Argosy.

25. SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

The Company’s Tucano operation is subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of weather conditions. Specifically, Tucano’s production is stronger in the second half of a calendar year as the dry season enables higher rates of mining productivity and the mine plan is characterized by lower strip ratios and access to higher grades in the open pits. Accordingly, Tucano typically has more favourable operating results in the second half of the year.

26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(a) Gold doré advance

On January 6, 2020, the Company entered into a $11,250 gold doré prepayment agreement with Samsung.

In consideration of delivery and sale of approximately 3,000 ounces of gold contained in doré per month over a two-year period commencing January 2020 from Tucano, Samsung has agreed to advance $11,250 (the "Advance") to Great Panther. Gold deliveries will be sold at a 0.65% discount to the benchmark price of gold at the time of delivery. The Advance will be repaid in equal instalments of $804 commencing December 2020 until January 2022 such that all amounts outstanding to Samsung will be repaid in full. The Advance bears interest at an annual rate of 3-month USD LIBOR plus 5% and is secured by a pledge of all equity interests in Great Panther's Brazilian subsidiary that owns Tucano. Great Panther has a full option for early re-payment of the Advance, subject to a 3% penalty applied to the outstanding balance. The Agreement also provides Samsung a right of offer for concentrates produced from Coricancha in certain circumstances. The transaction was completed on Feb 4, 2020 upon the funding of the Advance.

PROFILE

Great Panther Mining Limited is an intermediate precious metals mining and exploration company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange trading under the symbol GPR, and on the NYSE American trading under the symbol GPL. The Company has three wholly-owned mining operations including the recently acquired Tucano Gold Mine (“Tucano”), which produces gold doré and is located in Amapá State in northern Brazil. In Mexico, Great Panther operates the Topia Mine (“Topia”) in the state of Durango and the Guanajuato Mine Complex (the “GMC”) in the state of Guanajuato. The GMC comprises the Guanajuato Mine (“Guanajuato”), the San Ignacio Mine (“San Ignacio”), and the Cata processing plant, producing silver and gold concentrate. Topia produces concentrates containing silver, gold, lead and zinc.

On March 5, 2019, the Company acquired Beadell Resources Limited (“Beadell”) (the “Acquisition”), a gold mining company previously listed on the Australian Securities Exchange which owned and operated Tucano. Tucano is part of an expansive set of exploration tenements, which are highly prospective and located in the under-explored ‘Birimian age’ greenstone terrane.

Great Panther also owns the Coricancha Mine Complex (“Coricancha”), a gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc mine and 600 tonnes per day processing facility. Coricancha is located in the central Andes of Peru, approximately 90 kilometres east of Lima. Coricancha is on care and maintenance and the Company is establishing the conditions under which a restart of production can be implemented.

The Company also owns several exploration properties which include: El Horcón, Santa Rosa, and Plomo in Mexico, and Argosy in Canada. The El Horcón property is located 100 kilometres by road northwest of Guanajuato, Santa Rosa is located 15 kilometres northeast of Guanajuato, and the Plomo property is located in Sonora, Mexico. The Argosy property is located in the Red Lake Mining District in northwestern Ontario, Canada.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

Tucano Gold Mine

Acquisition of Tucano

On March 5, 2019, Great Panther completed the Acquisition by acquiring 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Beadell through the issuance of 103,593,043 Great Panther shares to Beadell shareholders, representing approximately 38% of the post-acquisition issued and outstanding Great Panther shares.

Convertible Debentures

On April 3, 2019, all holders of Beadell’s senior secured convertible debentures maturing on June 30, 2023 (the “Convertible Debentures”) accepted the Company’s repurchase offer made under the terms of the indenture governing the Convertible Debentures upon a change of control. The repurchase was completed for an aggregate price of $10.5 million, plus accrued interest.

Operational and Exploration Highlights

In the fourth quarter of 2019, Tucano produced 34,181 gold ounces. From the date of Acquisition to the end of the year, gold production for Tucano totaled 105,561 gold ounces.

Since the Acquisition, Tucano achieved key improvements in mine productivities, ore grade, and metallurgical recoveries. At the end of April 2019, the Company completed the commissioning of the supplemental modular liquid oxygen supply system (“Supplemental Oxygen System”) at Tucano, which enabled Tucano to increase processing capacity for high-grade sulphide ore produced by the mine and achieve significant improvements in average gold grades and recoveries.

During the year since the Acquisition, Great Panther conducted 17,400 metres of exploration drilling at Tucano. The Company also initiated an evaluation of Tucano’s extensive land package concurrent with the drill program. Details on the 2020 exploration program can be found in the Outlook section.

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Update

On March 9, 2020 the Company announced its inaugural Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimate (the “MRMR”) for Tucano. The MRMR has an effective date of September 30, 2019 and uses a more rigorous approach to mineral resource and reserve estimation compared with the June 30, 2017 estimate of the previous operator. The MRMR reflects operating experience since acquiring the mine in 2019 and a better understanding of the mine’s geology, and is therefore expected to improve mine forecasting reliability. Internationally recognized mining consultants Roscoe Postle & Associates (“RPA”) acted as independent technical qualified persons for the MRMR.

At Tucano, after adjustments for mining depletion since June 30, 2017, Mineral Reserves are now estimated to be approximately 646,000 gold ounces, a decline of approximately 489,000 gold ounces relative to the June 30, 2017 estimate. Mineral Resources (excluding Mineral Reserves) declined by approximately 500,000 gold ounces. Refer to the Company’s press release dated March 9, 2020 for more details of the update.

2020 Exploration Program and Opportunities for Mineral Resource Increases and Mine Life Extension at Tucano

In February 2020, Great Panther announced plans for a $6.6 million (55,000 metre) 2020 exploration drill program for Tucano, comprised of both "near-mine" and "regional" targets. In connection with the announcement of the MRMR, the Company announced a refinement of the near mine program and other opportunities to increase the mine life including the enhancement of an existing Prefeasibility Study supporting the development of an underground mining operation below the Urucum North pit, which comprises the 288,000 ounces of underground Mineral Reserves. A decision on whether to proceed with a Feasibility Study for an underground mine is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2020, following an underground targeted drill program.

Urucum Central South Pit (“UCS”)

As noted in the Company’s news releases on October 7, 2019 and October 15, 2019, the west wall of the UCS pit underwent slope displacement on October 6, 2019. Since then, the pit has been closed to mining and the Company has deployed significant effort and resources toward a remediation plan with the assistance of the independent consulting firm Knight Piésold & Co.

Pending completion of the remediation plan, the UCS pit continues to be included in the Company’s MRMR, with a Mineral Reserve Estimate (Proven and Probable) of approximately 88,000 ounces of gold. Current estimates for UCS include conservative adjustments to pit wall configurations based on preliminary geotechnical findings.

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 4
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

The Company believes that the UCS reserves are recoverable but cautions that recovery is subject to further evaluation based on geotechnical data gathering now underway. The data gathering will include the collection of additional geotechnical information from five geotechnical core holes to be drilled commencing in April 2020.

Following completion of data collection, an assessment will be made as to whether remediation of the UCS pit to mine the current reserves will be completed. If the remediation plan is determined not to be feasible, then the current UCS pit reserves may not be mined.

Guanajuato Mine Complex

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company completed its restructuring efforts it commenced in September 2018 to lower costs and mitigate the impact of lower metal prices. Major elements of a multi-mine optimization strategy for 2019 included sourcing the entire production for the GMC from San Ignacio and initiating a focused exploration program for the Guanajuato Mine while temporarily suspending production. The objective of the exploration program was to outline in-situ blocks of higher-grade mineralization and to bring Guanajuato back into production in 2020.

Accordingly, in 2019, production for the GMC was sourced from San Ignacio and only limited areas of the Guanajuato Mine for which mining was suspended for the first three quarters of 2019 to allow for the focused exploration program described above.

Exploration at Guanajuato in 2019 consisted of three drills which completed 8,832 metres across 126 holes, of mainly underground drilling focused on the Valenciana, Pozos, and Promontorio areas. Based upon the success of this 2019 program, the Company is working towards the resumption of mining at Guanajuato in 2020, with further details of this plan to be announced once a firm schedule has been determined.

The Company also conducted a surface drilling program at San Ignacio in 2019, to expand the existing mineral resource in the northern extent of the Nombre de Dios vein system, as well as to identify new resources in the San Pedro area along the Melladito and Purisima vein systems.

Refer to the Company’s press release dated January 28, 2020 for details of the 2020 the GMC exploration program.

On March 9, 2020, the Company released an updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate for the GMC, with effective dates of October 31, 2019 and July 31, 2019 for Guanajuato and San Ignacio, respectively. At the GMC, estimated Measured and Indicated (“M&I”) Mineral Resources for Guanajuato were approximately 3.7 million silver equivalent ounces (“Ag eq oz”), up by approximately 1.5 million Ag eq oz from the prior estimate dated August 31, 2017, reflecting the success of the 2019 exploration program. The Company believes that the increase in resources, together with ongoing drilling in 2020, could be the basis for a re-start of operations later this year.

M&I Mineral Resources for San Ignacio were approximately 5.0 million Ag eq oz, a decline of approximately 6.4 million Ag eq oz from the prior estimate effective August 31, 2017. The reduction is due primarily to mining depletion of 3.8 million Ag eq oz, the use of narrower wireframes, and an increase in the Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) cut-off from a marginal ~US$71/tonne to a full cost ~US$100/tonne. The new Mineral Resource Estimates for Guanajuato and San Ignacio feature higher silver equivalent grades as a result of the application of higher NSR cut off values. Refer to the Company’s press release dated March 9, 2020 for more details of the update.

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 5
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Topia Mine

On January 29, 2019, the Company provided an update to the Mineral Resource at Topia, with an effective date of July 31, 2018. Compared to the previous update which had an effective date of November 30, 2014, M&I Mineral Resources increased by 28% to 14,770,000 Ag eq oz as a result of the conversion of some Inferred Mineral Resources to M&I. Additional Inferred Mineral Resources were also identified which primarily made up for the ounces converted to M&I and maintained Inferred Mineral Resources at 10,720,000 Ag eq oz, or just 3% less than the those in the previous estimate.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, Topia achieved a new record for annual production at approximately 1.8 million Ag eq oz as a result of an increase in mill capacity, grade and advancing development of various mines in the Topia area. The Company also performed exploration drilling in 2019 to better define existing mineral resources, and to extend the mineral resources into new areas, along presently mined veins and along new veins. The 2020 exploration drill program will comprise 2,500 metres and focus on building mineral resources along the San Juan, Madre, Hipolito, La Prieta, Cantarranas, La Dura, Union de Pueblo, Higuera, and Oliva veins.  The 2019 drilling (5,344 metres in 25 holes) initially tested Hipolito, Cantarranas, Madre, Las Brisas, San Juan, and Oliva veins with success.

Coricancha

In July 2018, the Company initiated a trial stope and bulk sample program (“BSP”) to further de-risk the project following the results of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”). In July 2019, Great Panther completed the BSP which confirmed key mill operating assumptions contained in its PEA. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company undertook a limited mining and processing campaign of approximately 25,000 tonnes. These activities have been temporarily suspended in accordance with the Peruvian government-mandated restrictions associated with the 15-day National State of Emergency announced on March 16, 2020 in response to the coronavirus respiratory disease, COVID-19, and the effective period was extended on March 26th to April 12, 2020 (further details provided in COVID-19 Response and Considerations section below). Once this campaign is completed, the mine will return to care and maintenance while the Company completes the optimization and de-risking of the project.

Gold Doré Prepayment Facility

On February 4, 2020, the Company completed a $11.25 million gold doré prepayment agreement (the "Agreement") with Samsung C&T U.K. Ltd. ("Samsung"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung C&T Corporation, headquartered in Seoul, South Korea and a part of the Samsung Group.

In consideration of delivery and sale of approximately 3,000 ounces of gold contained in doré per month over a two-year period commencing January 2020 from Tucano, Samsung has advanced a $11.25 million prepayment (the "Advance") to Great Panther. Gold deliveries are sold at a 0.65% discount to the benchmark price of gold at the time of delivery. The Advance will be repaid in equal instalments of $0.8 million per month commencing December 2020 until January 2022 such that all amounts outstanding to Samsung will be repaid in full. The Advance bears interest at an annual rate of 3-month USD LIBOR plus 5% and is secured by a pledge of all equity interests in Great Panther's Brazilian subsidiary that owns Tucano. Great Panther has a full option for early re-payment of the Advance, subject to a 3% penalty applied to the outstanding balance. The Agreement also provides Samsung a right of offer for concentrates produced from Coricancha in certain circumstances. Samsung has the option to offset proceeds from gold doré purchases with amounts owing under the Advance in certain limited circumstances.

Concentrate Prepayment Facility

On December 30, 2019, the Company announced that it entered into a $10.0 million concentrate prepayment agreement with the IXM Group ("IXM"), one of the world's largest physical metal traders, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.

In consideration of an off-take agreement with a subsidiary of IXM at market-based commercial terms for 100% of the gold-silver concentrates produced from the GMC in 2020 and 2021, IXM advanced a $10.0 million prepayment to the Company on December 30, 2019. The prepayment is to be repaid on December 31, 2020 and bears interest at an annual rate of 3-month USD LIBOR plus 5%. There is no hedging of the price of gold or silver associated with the off-take or prepayment agreement. To the date of this MD&A, $1.0 million of the net proceeds of the prepayment were used to repay existing unsecured debt under the Company’s amended credit agreement with MACA Limited (“MACA”), a former contractor at Tucano under a provision that provides MACA with 10% of the proceeds of new debt issue or equity offering under certain conditions. IXM has the option to offset proceeds from purchases of concentrate with amounts owing under the prepayment.

Gold put option arrangements

On February 4, 2020, to manage the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the gold price, the Company established a limited gold floor price through the purchase of financial put options. The Company has purchased put options for gold totaling 45,000 ounces that mature from March 2020 to June 2020 at an average cost of $9.33 per gold ounce. The options ensure a minimum sale price of $1,500 per gold ounce for the majority of the Tucano production, without limiting any upside from rising gold prices.

Change of Name to Great Panther Mining Limited

On March 5, 2019, concurrent with the Acquisition, the Company changed its name to Great Panther Mining Limited from Great Panther Silver Limited to reflect a shift in primary metal production from silver to gold. The Company's CUSIP remains unchanged and the common shares continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol GPR and on the NYSE American under the symbol GPL.

Short Form Base Shelf Prospectus

On July 2, 2019, the Company filed a short form base shelf prospectus with the securities commissions in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, except for Quebec, and a corresponding registration statement on Form F-10 with the Securities Exchange Commission (the "Base Shelf Prospectus"). Subject to the subsequent preparation and filing of prospectus supplements, these filings allow Great Panther to make offerings of common shares, warrants, subscription receipts, units, or any combination thereof, having an aggregate offering price of up to $120.0 million in Canada and the United States over a 25-month period. Great Panther filed this Base Shelf Prospectus with the intention of maintaining financial flexibility, and the maximum amount that could potentially be offered under the Base Shelf Prospectus does not reflect an estimate of future financing requirements.

At-The-Market Offering

On July 9, 2019, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co. and Eight Capital (the “ATM Agreement”). Under the ATM Agreement, the Company will be entitled, at its discretion and from time-to-time during the term of the ATM Agreement, to sell common shares of the Company equal to the lesser of i) 10% of the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common shares as at the last trading day of the month before the month in which the first trade under the offering is made, and ii) aggregate gross proceeds of $25.0 million (the “ATM Facility”). Sales of the common shares will be made in "at-the-market distributions", as defined in National Instrument 44-102, directly on the NYSE American Stock Exchange or on any other existing trading market in the United States. No offers or sales of common shares will be made in Canada on the Toronto Stock Exchange or other trading markets in Canada. As of the date of the MD&A, the Company has not issued any common shares under the ATM Facility.

Bought Deal Offering

On August 8, 2019, the Company completed an equity bought deal offering of 23,000,000 common shares at the price of $0.75 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $17.3 million. The Company paid a cash commission to the underwriters equal to 5% of the gross proceeds of the offering. The intended use of net proceeds from this offering were for (i) near mine and regional exploration programs at Tucano, (ii) capital expenditures in connection with Tucano including optimization initiatives, and (iii) improvement of the Company's working capital balances and general corporate purposes.  To the date of this MD&A, $1.6 million of the net proceeds of the offering were used to repay existing unsecured debt under the Company’s amended credit agreement with MACA, a former contractor at Tucano under a provision that provides MACA with 10% of the proceeds of new debt issue or equity offering under certain conditions. As part of the Acquisition, the terms of this provision were renegotiated to reduce the percentage from 30% to 10%. The offering was made by way of a prospectus supplement dated August 1, 2019 to the Company's aforementioned Base Shelf Prospectus.

The following table provides the proposed use of proceeds from the equity bought deal financing. In terms of the actual use of proceeds, $1.6 million was used in connection with a debt repayment to MACA as noted above and the balance of the proceeds were used for capital expenditures at Tucano of $4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, for general working capital purposes and held for future investment in capital and exploration expenditures at Tucano.

On July 16, 2019, Jeffrey R. Mason was appointed Chair of the Board of Directors of the Company succeeding R.W. (Bob) Garnett, who continues on the Board. Mr. Mason has been a Director of, or advisor to, Great Panther since June 2014. He has been a senior executive and director of multiple mining companies, and currently serves on the boards of Auryn Resources Inc. and Torq Resources Inc.

On October 30, 2019, the Company announced that James Bannantine, President & CEO, departed the Company following a determination by the Company’s Board of Directors to effect a leadership change. Board Chair, Jeffrey Mason, assumed the additional role of Interim President & CEO until a permanent successor is in place.

On October 31, 2019, the Company appointed Neil Hepworth as Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Hepworth is a Chartered Mining Engineer in United Kingdom with over 30 years of experience in underground mining operations and technical and operational experience in open pit mines. He has strong technical knowledge of geology and geotechnics. Mr. Hepworth has operational experience throughout Latin America, Africa and Europe, with extensive experience in Brazil and Mexico. He holds an M.Sc. Engineering (Mining) and a B.Sc. Honours (Geology) from the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, and speaks Portuguese.

Other

The Company experienced one fatality at the GMC and one fatality at Coricancha during 2019. The Company considers health and safety of its workers, and others in the communities in which it operates, to be a top priority. The Company completed extensive investigations into each event and routinely undertakes safety training and updates and improvements to safety procedures and practices to minimize injuries and provide the safest work environment possible.

COVID-19 Response and Considerations

The Company has been closely monitoring the effects of the spread of the coronavirus respiratory disease (“COVID-19”) with a focus on the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and its head office location in Canada.

The rapid worldwide spread of COVID-19 is prompting governments to incrementally implement restrictive measures in an attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19. During this period of uncertainty, Great Panther’s priority is to safeguard the health and safety of personnel and host communities, support and enforce government actions to slow the spread of COVID-19, and to assess and mitigate the risks to our business continuity.

The Company has implemented a COVID-19 response plan that includes a number of measures to safeguard against the spread of the virus at its offices and sites. These include requirements to report infection or contact with those infected, restrictions on international travel and any non-essential domestic travel, alternative work arrangements, hygiene precautions and social distancing practices among others. Great Panther is also maintaining regular communications with its suppliers, customers and business partners to monitor any potential risks to its ongoing operations.

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 8
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

To date, these measures have not impacted the Company’s operating mines in Mexico and Brazil and there are no confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 across the Company’s corporate offices and operations. In accordance with government-mandated restrictions in response to COVID-19, Coricancha, which has been on care and maintenance with some limited mining operations, will conduct exclusively care and maintenance activities to sustain the appropriate safety and environmental systems during the National State of Emergency currently in effect until April 12, 2020 announced on March 26, 2020.

Although there have not been any impacts to the Company’s operations to date, the Company cannot provide assurance that there will not be disruptions to its operations in the future. An escalation of government restrictions in response to COVID-19 in Mexico and Brazil could result in shut-downs or curtailment of operations with consequential impact to the Company’s cash flows, working capital and the ability of the Company to make scheduled debt repayments.

CHANGE IN COST REPORTING MEASURES

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company’s primary metal production by value is now gold. In addition, Great Panther’s Mexican silver mining operations produce a significant component of gold by-product. As a result, the Company has changed to primary reporting of cash cost and All-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) metrics on a per ounce of gold sold basis, net of by-product credits (refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section for definitions and reconciliations of these measures to the Company’s reported financial results). Cash cost and AISC measures on a payable silver ounce basis (net of by-product credits) continue to be provided for the Company’s Mexican operating mines as these remain primary silver producing mines by value.

The consolidated operating results, cash cost and AISC for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019 reflect Tucano operations from the date of the completion of the Acquisition, and a comparison to those of prior periods on an overall basis is not meaningful. Refer to the discussion of operating and cost metrics for the individual mines in the following sections.

Consolidated AISC per gold ounce sold (excluding corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses) of $1,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019 is higher than the Company’s most recent consolidated annual guidance for AISC (excluding corporate G&A expenses) for the following reasons:

· The Company made an accrual of $5.6 million for Brazil legal claims in the fourth quarter of 2019, as discussed in the Results of Operation section below;

· The Company also incurred penalties from its mining contractor for on-site contractor equipment that was unutilized, in accordance with its mining services contract. The lower production and mining contractor penalties are discussed in detail in the Tucano operations section below.

· Higher cash cost per silver payable ounce at Topia due to a less favourable market for Topia’s concentrates and general cost increases over the prior year comparative period, as discussed in the Topia operations section below.

¹ The data presented for the year ended December 31, 2019 is for the period from March 5, 2019 to December 31, 2019, the period for which the Company owned Tucano following the Acquisition.

² The Company has included the non-GAAP performance measures cost per tonne milled, cash cost per gold ounce sold, cash cost per payable silver ounce, AISC per gold ounce sold excluding corporate G&A expenditures, AISC per gold ounce sold, AISC per payable silver ounce, mine operating earnings before non-cash items, cost of sales before non-cash items and adjusted EBITDA throughout this document.

The data presented for the year ended December 31, 2019 is for the period from Acquisition to December 31, 2019.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, Tucano produced 34,181 ounces of gold, a decrease of 6% compared to the third quarter of 2019, mainly due to 15% lower material mined, a direct result of the suspended mining at the UCS pit in October 2019 as described in the Significant Events section. Production was accelerated from Urucum North and Urucum South pits which partly made up for the shortfall from UCS in the fourth quarter. Compared to the third quarter of 2019, mill throughput was 15% higher but offset by average ore feed grades which were 18% lower.

Cash cost per gold ounce sold for Tucano was $1,340 for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $1,063 in the third quarter of 2019. The $277 per gold ounce sold increase was mainly due to the 10% lower gold sales volume and 18% lower gold grades. BRL denominated production costs were also higher due to higher mining costs incurred as a result of lower productivities, increased pit congestion, smaller blasts, and ore variability at the Urucum North and Urucum South pits which were mined due to the stoppage of mining at the UCS pit. Additionally, as a result of the MRMR update, approximately $1.0 million of capitalized stripping costs were expensed to cost of sales based on expected stripping ratio results. The Company also incurred penalties from its mining contractor for on-site contractor equipment that was unutilized, in accordance with its mining services contract. These factors were partly offset by the weakening of the BRL to the USD.

AISC per gold ounce sold for Tucano was $1,681 for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $1,327 in the third quarter of 2019. The $354 per gold ounce sold increase was mainly due to the aforementioned higher cash costs, higher mine-level G&A expenses due to an accrual of $5.6 million for Brazil legal claims as discussed in the Results of Operation section below, higher capital expenditures, and the lower number of gold ounces sold which increased AISC on a gold per ounce sold basis. These were offset by the lower stripping costs as a result of the lower strip ratio.

Metal Production

Metal production for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by 42% compared to the prior year mainly due to lower throughput as the Company continued to source ore primarily from San Ignacio while focusing on an exploration program at Guanajuato. In addition, average silver grades were lower due to variability in the mineral resource. Silver and gold recoveries were lower due to the transition from processing an ore blend from Guanajuato and San Ignacio to San Ignacio ore which required metallurgical adjustments.

Metal production in the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased by 30% compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily due to the lower throughput for reasons as discussed above, and lower silver recovery. These factors were partly offset by higher average silver grade.

Cost per tonne milled

Cost per tonne milled for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $12 per tonne compared to the prior year as MXN denominated production costs declined as a result of the restructuring efforts in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019; however, these were mostly offset by the decrease in mill throughput (net $12 per tonne effect).

¹ Silver equivalent ounces are referred to throughout this document. Ag eq oz are calculated using a 80:1 Ag:Au ratio and ratios of 1:0.0636 and 1:0.0818 for the price/ounce of silver to lead and zinc price/pound, respectively, and applied to the relevant metal content of the concentrates produced, expected to be produced, or sold from operations.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Cost per tonne milled in the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased by $6 per tonne compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 as MXN denominated production costs declined as a result of the restructuring efforts discussed above; however, these were mostly offset by the decrease in mill throughput (net $6 per tonne effect).

Cash cost per payable silver ounce

Cash cost per payable silver ounce for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $3.49 per payable silver ounce compared to the prior year primarily due to lower MXN production costs, and lower smelting and refining charges, but was partly offset by lower gold by-product credits and lower payable silver ounces (net $3.49 per oz effect).

Cash cost per payable silver ounce in the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased by $5.50 per payable silver ounce compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily due to lower MXN production costs, and lower smelting and refining charges, but were partly offset by lower gold by-product credits and lower payable silver ounces (net $5.50 per oz effect).

All-in sustaining cost per payable silver ounce

All-in sustaining cost per payable silver ounce for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $0.93 per payable silver ounce compared to the prior year primarily due to the decrease in cash cost ($3.49 per oz effect) as described above, lower capital expenditures ($1.59 per oz effect), and lower sustaining exploration, evaluation and development (“EE&D”) expenses ($1.15 per oz effect). These factors were partly offset by the lower number of payable silver ounces which increased AISC on a per ounce basis ($3.87 per oz effect), and Guanajuato care and maintenance costs that commenced in the first quarter of 2019 ($1.43 per oz effect).

All-in sustaining cost per payable silver ounce in the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased by $3.81 per payable silver ounce compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily due to the decrease in cash cost ($5.50 per oz effect) as described above, and lower capital expenditures ($1.39 per oz effect). These factors were partly offset by the lower number of payable silver ounces which increased AISC on a per ounce basis ($1.41 per oz effect), Guanajuato care and maintenance costs that commenced in the first quarter of 2019 ($1.16 per oz effect), and higher EE&D expenses ($0.51 per oz effect).

Metal Production

Metal production for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased by 15% compared to the prior year mainly due to higher throughput and improvement in average silver, gold and zinc grades. These factors were partly offset by lower lead grades, as well as lower recoveries for gold and lead.

¹ Silver equivalent ounces are referred to throughout this document. Ag eq oz are calculated using a 80:1 Ag:Au ratio and ratios of 1:0.0636 and 1:0.0818 for the price/ounce of silver to lead and zinc price/pound, respectively, and applied to the relevant metal content of the concentrates produced, expected to be produced, or sold from operations.

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 17
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Metal production in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 15% compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily due to improvement in average silver and lead grades as well as higher recoveries for silver, gold and lead. These factors were partly offset by lower average gold and zinc grades.

Cost per tonne milled

Cost per tonne milled for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased by $33 per tonne compared to the prior year primarily due to higher MXN production costs ($43 per tonne effect) (discussed further in the Cash cost per payable silver ounce section below), and the cost of high grade ore purchased from the neighbouring mine ($5 per tonne effect). These were partially offset by higher mill throughput ($15 per tonne effect).

Cost per tonne milled in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by $22 per tonne compared to the fourth quarter primarily due to higher MXN production costs ($26 per tonne effect). These were partially offset by higher mill throughput ($4 per tonne effect).

Cash cost per payable silver ounce

Cash cost per payable silver ounce for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased by $5.19 per payable silver ounce compared to the prior year primarily due to higher MXN production costs ($4.97 per oz effect), due to cost increases over the comparative period in salaries and wages ($2.03 per oz effect), mining contractor rates and production bonuses ($1.03 per oz effect), general plant maintenance costs ($0.71 per oz effect), electricity rates ($0.65 per oz effect), mine rehabilitation and maintenance costs ($0.35/oz effect), and rates for concentrate freight ($0.20 per oz effect). Also contributing to the increase in cash were higher smelting and refining charges ($2.12 per oz effect), and lower by-product credits ($0.10 per oz effect). These were partly offset by the higher payable silver ounces ($1.21 per oz effect), the high-grade ore purchased from the neighbouring small mine that translated into higher silver ounces per tonne milled, which had the positive effect of reducing unit cost ($0.79/oz effect).

Cash cost per payable silver ounce in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by $3.77 per payable silver ounce compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher MXN production costs ($1.60 per oz effect), higher smelting and refining charges ($2.45 per oz effect), lower by-product credits ($0.31 per oz effect), and the strengthening of the MXN to the USD, which had the effect of increasing production costs in USD terms by $0.52 per oz. These were partly offset by the higher payable silver ounces ($1.11 per oz effect).

All-in sustaining cost per payable silver ounce

All-in sustaining cost per payable silver ounce for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased by $6.85 per payable silver ounce compared to the prior year primarily due to the increase in cash cost ($5.19 per oz effect) as described above, higher capital expenditures ($1.29 per oz effect), higher sustaining EE&D expenses ($0.56 per oz effect), and lease liability payments ($0.09 per oz effect). These factors were partly offset by higher payable silver ounces ($0.28 per oz effect).

All-in sustaining cost per payable silver ounce in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by $4.58 per payable silver ounce compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily due to the increase in cash cost ($3.77 per oz effect) as described above, higher capital expenditures ($0.73 per oz effect), higher sustaining EE&D expenses ($0.25 per oz effect), and lease liability payments ($0.06 per oz effect). These factors were partly offset by higher payable silver ounces ($0.23 per oz effect).

Exploration

Metres of exploration drilling	Q4 2019		Q4 2018		FY 2019		FY 2018
Total metres of exploration drilling		1,146		–		5,344		–

The metres of development for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased compared to the prior year due to the exploration drilling at 15-22, Argentina, Hormiguera El Rosario, and Recompensa mines that commenced in the third quarter of 2019. The main purpose of this exploration program is to better define existing mineral resources, and to extend the mineral resources into new areas, both in terms of along presently mined veins and along new veins. The program is being conducted with three underground drill rigs performing infill drilling, and one surface drill rig focused on step-out drilling.

ADVANCED PROJECTS

Coricancha

Great Panther acquired Coricancha in June 2017. In July 2018, the Company filed a PEA which outlined the potential for three million Ag eq oz of annual production, and in June 2019, it completed the BSP which successfully confirmed the key operating assumptions for Coricancha contained in the PEA. The Company also identified the potential to increase the life of mine through developing a mine plan for the resources not incorporated into the PEA, which utilizes only approximately 28% of the overall resource. Under the BSP, a total of 5,089 tonnes of mineralized material was mined from the Constancia and Escondida veins and processed through the plant. The program produced 15,561 ounces of silver, 303 ounces of gold, 107,319 pounds of lead, and 99,889 pounds of zinc through the production of zinc and lead concentrates. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company sold the majority of the metal concentrate produced from the BSP. Based on the results of the BSP, the Company is reviewing the conditions under which a restart can be implemented.

The Company does not currently plan to complete a feasibility study in connection with any production decision due to (i) the existing processing plant facility, (ii) the low initial capital costs to re-establish underground workings, and (iii) the Company’s knowledge of the mine and resource base.

Legacy tailings

The Company has undertaken the reclamation of certain legacy tailings facilities at Coricancha under a remediation plan approved by the Ministry of Energy and Mines (the “MEM”), the relevant regulatory body. In addition, as part of the purchase of Coricancha, the Company has an agreement with the previous owner for the reimbursement of costs to execute reclamation activities up to an agreed maximum. The Company continues to seek approval of a modification to a remediation plan from MEM in accordance with the recommendations of an independent consultant to preserve the stability of nearby areas. The Company has changed the scheduling of the reclamation work, pending a decision from the MEM regarding the proposal to modify the approved remediation plan.

Concurrently, the Company has successfully undertaken various legal measures to protect itself from any pending or new fines, penalties, regulatory action or charges from government authorities which may be initiated as a result of the change in timing of reclamation under the proposed plan. The Company believes this matter can be resolved favourably but cannot provide any assurance. Although the Company has all necessary permits to restart Coricancha, if this matter is not resolved favourably, it may impact the Company’s stated plans and objectives for Coricancha.

Working capital		12,815			63,271			65,965

Total assets at December 31, 2019 increased $158.0 million from December 31, 2018 mainly due to the Acquisition which accounted for $200.8 million of the increase (net of the $38.7 million impairment of goodwill). This factor was partly offset by $35.2 million reduction in mineral properties, plant and equipment from amortization and depletion, $6.0 million in cash used in financing activities, negative $1.5 million in cash flows generated from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital and other non-cash adjustments to assets such as foreign currency revaluation.

Non-current liabilities increased by $52.7 million to $77.7 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $25.0 million at December 31, 2018 mainly due to the Acquisition which accounted for $29.5 million of the increase, a $10.5 million increase in reclamation and remediation provision related to Mexican and Peruvian mines, and a $12.5 million increase in non-current lease liabilities recognized upon the adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases.

Please refer to the Results of Operations section for a discussion of the changes relating to earnings.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Trends in revenue over the last eight quarters

Revenue varies based on the metal production level, timing of the sales of refined gold and metal concentrates, metal prices and terms of sales agreements. The climate in Mexico allows mining and exploration activities to be conducted throughout the year and therefore there are no meaningful seasonal effects on metal production from the Company’s Mexican operations. In Brazil, the Tucano operation is affected by seasonal weather. During the wet season (normally from January through June), production rates are lower than the dry season (normally July until December). Prior to the Acquisition, the Company’s trend in revenue was mainly impacted by the fluctuation in prices for silver and gold.

Metal production for the five quarters presented up to December 31, 2018 was in the 11,800 – 13,700 Au eq oz range until the first quarter of 2019 when the metal production significantly increased due to the addition of Tucano. Metal production for the second and third quarters of 2019 also increased due to the successful commissioning of the Supplemental Oxygen System at Tucano. Metal production for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased slightly from the previous two quarters due to the UCS pit issue at Tucano as noted in the Significant Events section and lower metal production at Topia.

Trends in net income over the last eight quarters

The Company’s net income is mainly dependent on fluctuations in metal prices, rates of metal production, variability in the mineral resource, EE&D activities, and foreign exchange rates, and since the Acquisition, seasonality of production has become a significant factor as discussed above. The Company also incurred significant EE&D expenditures in relation to the Coricancha BSP from the third quarter of 2018 until its completion in the second quarter of 2019, and additional costs associated the ore processing campaign which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2019. Production costs in Mexico have increased in more recent quarters as a result of higher variability in mineral resources at the GMC, significant one-time charges affecting Topia’s plant costs, personnel restructuring costs and mining contractor rate increases at both the GMC and Topia.

To mitigate its foreign exchange risk, the Company from time to time enters into forward contracts for foreign currencies. To the end of the first quarter of 2019, these were primarily for MXN. Commencing the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into contracts for BRL. Such contracts can result in foreign exchange gains and losses, as these contracts are marked to market at the end of each reporting period. Foreign exchange gains or losses are included in finance and other income. Foreign exchange gains and losses also arise from the translation of foreign currency denominated transactions and balances into the functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Since the second quarter of 2017, the Company’s exploration, evaluation and development expenditures have been primarily incurred in relation to Coricancha care and maintenance and project expenditures after its acquisition in June 2017.

G&A expenditures were fairly consistent over the last eight quarters with the exception of non-recurring G&A charges related to management changes in the fourth quarter of 2019, accruals made for Brazil legal claims, and the inclusion of G&A expenditures of the parent company of Tucano since the Acquisition that are anticipated to be substantially eliminated following the first quarter of 2020.

RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED QUARTERS

Pursuant to IFRS 3, adjustments made within the measurement period of one year from the Acquisition Date, which ends on March 5, 2020, are recognized as if the accounting for the business combination had been completed at the acquisition date. In March 2020, the Company received a mineral resource and reserve estimate report for Tucano prepared by independent mining consultant firm, Roscoe Postle & Associates (“RPA”). The report is dated effective September 30, 2019 and provides updated information regarding the resources and reserves at Tucano that was not available at the initial reporting of the preliminary purchase price allocation at March 31, 2019. The Company also received an updated reclamation obligation report for Tucano during the fourth quarter of 2019. The revised resource and reserve estimates presented in the report by RPA and the revised reclamation obligation gave rise to amounts recognized for net identifiable assets and liabilities compared to those previously recognized on acquisition on a preliminary basis. The most significant changes to the purchase price allocation includes a decrease in mineral property, plant and equipment of $29,492, an increase in the reclamation and remediation provision of $6,534, an increase in deferred income tax liability of $3,457, and an adjustment to increase goodwill by $38,682.

³ The quarterly information for 2019 was restated to reflect the adjustments related to the Tucano MRMR that impacted the period from March 5, 2019 to September 30, 2019.

Revenue increased by $139.2 million or 234% primarily attributable to the gold production and sales from the Tucano operation of 108,021 gold ounces ($153.4 million effect), higher realized metal prices (mainly gold, $2.1 million effect), and ore processing revenue ($0.1 million effect). These factors were partly offset by lower sales volume from the Mexican operations ($15.1 million effect), and higher Mexico smelting and refining charges which are netted against revenue ($1.3 million effect).

Production Costs

Production costs increased by $109.4 million primarily due to the addition of Tucano ($120.7 million effect). MXN production costs increased at Topia ($2.0 million effect) due to cost increases over the comparative period in salaries and wages, mining contractor rates and production bonuses, mine rehabilitation and maintenance costs, general plant maintenance costs, electricity rates, and rates for concentrate freight. These were partly offset by lower sales volume from the Mexican operations ($12.8 million effect), and the lower MXN production costs at the GMC ($0.5 million effect) from the restructuring measures taken at the start of 2019 which included cost reductions and an optimization strategy under which the entire production for the GMC was sourced from San Ignacio.

Mine Operating Earnings

Mine operating earnings before non-cash items increased by $29.9 million as revenue increased by $139.2 million, which was partly offset by the $109.4 million increase in production costs.

Amortization and depletion increased primarily due to the addition of Tucano amortization and depletion of $30.8 million. These were partly offset by the cessation of amortization of Guanajuato plant and equipment at the end of the first quarter of 2018 as it was fully amortized.

¹ The Company has included non-GAAP performance measures such as mine operating earnings before non-cash items, throughout this document. Refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A for an explanation of these measures and reconciliation to the Company’s financial results reported in accordance with IFRS. As these are not standardized measures, they may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others.

² The data presented for the year ended December 31, 2019 is the period from March 5, 2019 to December 31, 2019 for which the Company owned Tucano following the Acquisition. Therefore, a comparison of the financial results to the comparative periods is not meaningful (“nm”).

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 25
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

General and administrative expenses

G&A increased by $11.2 million due primarily to the acquisition of Tucano which added $9.1 million of G&A expenditures, including accruals totaling $5.6 million for Brazil legal claims, and $1.4 million of costs of its Australian head office. The Australian office was closed in the second quarter of 2019 and related ongoing severance and other contractual costs will be substantially eliminated following the first quarter of 2020. G&A expenses also included non-recurring severance charges for management changes of $0.6 million, and $0.7 million of non-recurring legal, consulting and auditor fees incurred to evaluate financing options, prepare and file shelf prospectus and related matters, and evaluate accounting matters related to the Acquisition. At the time of the Acquisition and throughout the balance of 2019, certain Brazil legal claims were not assessed as probable of loss by the Company’s legal counsel. Based on a more recent assessment of these claims by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel, it was determined that there was a higher likelihood of loss which exceeded more likely than not for which a provision of $5.6 million was deemed appropriate. Provisions for legal claims may change from time to time and are based on management’s estimates. Actual damages or loss may differ materially.

Exploration, evaluation and development expenses

EE&D expenses increased $12.3 million or 105% mainly due to a $9.7 million change in Mexico reclamation estimates recorded in EE&D. Of the $9.7 million, $6.8 million related to the change in reclamation estimates at the GMC, mainly due to increased costs associated with the tailings storage facility closure, capping and major drainage work, to reflect the most relevant unit costs in accordance with the latest government regulations, technical requirements and contractor rates. The remaining $2.9 million related to the change in reclamation estimates at Topia, mainly due to increased costs associated with the plant site open area remediation and transportation, engineered closure plan design and supporting documentation, and monitoring inspection program. EE&D expenses also increased due to a $1.3 million increase in expenditures related to the Coricancha BSP, a $0.7 million increase in Guanajuato exploration drilling, a $0.6 million increase in San Ignacio development expenses, a $0.6 million related to the additional development performed at Topia in the first half of 2019 to increase current mining rates to achieve a higher production level for the expanded processing plant, a $0.6 million of Tucano EE&D expenses, and a $0.3 million in San Ignacio exploration drilling,. These factors were partly offset by a $1.0 million decrease in Guanajuato development expenses as it is currently on care and maintenance, and a $0.8 million decrease in corporate development expenses as the corporate development costs in the year ended December 31, 2019 were related to the Acquisition and were therefore presented as business acquisition costs, whereas in the comparative period, the Company incurred $0.9 million of costs to search for and evaluate other potential acquisition targets.

Impairment of goodwill

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill of $38.7 million related to Tucano. For accounting purposes, the Company re-evaluated its initial assessment of the purchase price allocation of Tucano following receipt of the MRMR. The Company’s updated assessment of the carrying value of Tucano assigned a value of $85.4 million to the Tucano depreciable mineral properties, plant and equipment on acquisition and $43.2 million to non-depreciable mineral properties reflecting the underground reserves and resources, open pit resources, and near mine and regional exploration potential. The assessment resulted in a reduction of the carrying value of Tucano’s mineral properties, plant and equipment from $167.3 million to $128.6 million. Goodwill of $38.7 million, being the difference between the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and the original share exchange value plus assumed debt, was impaired at March 31, 2019.

Finance and other income (expense)

Finance and other income (expense) primarily reflects interest income or expense and foreign exchange gains and losses. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $13.1 million finance and other expense, compared to 2018 where the Company recorded $1.8 million of finance and other income. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded foreign exchange losses of $1.5 million compared to foreign exchange gains of $1.1 million in 2018. The $1.5 million of foreign exchange losses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were mainly comprised of the addition of Tucano foreign exchange losses of $4.9 million that mainly arose from the translation of foreign currency denominated borrowings into the Company’s USD presentation currency, but were partly offset by $3.5 million of unrealized foreign exchange gains recorded on the BRL/USD forward foreign exchange contracts which were marked to market at the prevailing exchange rate at December 31, 2019 (4.03 BRL/USD). There were also other expenses in this category primarily consisting of interest expenses related to Tucano borrowings and past due payables of $5.7 million, a $3.1 million write-off of Tucano’s Imposto de Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços (“ICMS”) that was determined to be unrecoverable, $1.8 million of accretion expense on reclamation and remediation provision and, $1.6 million of accretion expense on lease liabilities. In addition, interest income decreased by $0.8 million.

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 26
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

To hedge exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts. These have been primarily forward contracts for the purchase of BRL and MXN, and generally for terms of not more than six months.

Tax expense

Income tax expense increased by $0.1 million, compared to the same period in 2018, which was mainly due to an increase in the deferred income tax expense at the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries.

Net income (loss)

The increase in net loss was largely due to the $38.7 million of Tucano goodwill impairment, a $15.0 million increase in finance and other expense, a $11.2 million increase in G&A expenses (primarily due to the addition of Tucano), a $10.0 million increase in reclamation estimates, a $2.3 million increase in EE&D expenses, a $1.3 million decrease in mine operating earnings, a $1.5 million increase in business acquisition costs, a $0.8 million increase in Guanajuato care and maintenance costs, and a $0.1 million increase in income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA

The $13.0 million increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $29.9 million increase in mine operating earnings before non-cash items, which was partly offset by a $10.4 million increase in G&A expenses before non-cash items, a $3.4 million increase in other expenses, a $2.3 million increase in EE&D expenses (net of changes in non-cash share based compensation and changes in reclamation provisions), and a $0.8 million increase in care and maintenance costs.

Revenue generated in the fourth quarter was $65.7 million, which represented an increase of $52.0 million or 381% compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. This was primarily attributable to the gold production and sales from Tucano of 36,213 gold ounces ($53.8 million effect), and higher realized gold and silver prices ($1.6 million effect). These factors were partly offset by lower sales volume from the Mexican operations ($3.0 million effect), primarily as a result of the temporary suspension of operations at the Guanajuato Mine. Also contributing to the decrease was higher Topia smelting and refining charges, which are netted against revenue (net $0.5 million effect).

Production Costs

Production costs for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by $45.6 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was due to the addition of Tucano ($48.6 million effect, which is comprised of $29.5 million in mining costs, and $19.1 million in processing costs), and the strengthening of the MXN to the USD which had the impact of increasing production costs in USD terms ($0.3 million effect). These were partly offset by lower sales volume from the Mexican operations ($2.7 million effect), and lower MXN production costs at the GMC from the restructuring efforts earlier in the year ($0.6 million effect).

Mine Operating Earnings

Mine operating earnings before non-cash items increased by $6.4 million relative to the fourth quarter of 2018 as revenue increased by $52.0 million, which was partly offset by the $45.6 million increase in production costs.

Amortization and depletion increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily due to the addition of Tucano amortization and depletion of $12.4 million.

General and administrative expenses

G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased $7.3 million or 443% compared to the same period in 2018, primarily related to the Acquisition. G&A reflected approximately $6.4 million of Tucano G&A, mainly accruals totaling $5.6 million for Brazil legal claims, $0.8 million of Brazil G&A, and a $0.6 million non-recurring severance charge for the former President and CEO. At the time of the Acquisition and throughout the balance of 2019, the Brazil legal claims were not assessed as probable by the Company’s legal counsel. Based on a more recent assessment of these claims by the Company with its legal counsel, it was determined that there was a higher likelihood of loss for which a provision of $5.6 million was deemed appropriate.

Exploration, evaluation and development expenses

EE&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased $10.7 million or 343% compared to the same period in 2018, mainly due to a $9.7 million change in Mexico reclamation estimates recorded in EE&D. Of the $9.7 million, $6.8 million related to the change in reclamation estimates at the GMC, mainly due to increased costs associated with the tailings storage facility closure, capping and major drainage work, to reflect the most relevant unit costs in accordance with the latest government regulations, technical requirements and contractor rates. The remaining $2.9 million related to the change in reclamation estimates at Topia, mainly due to increased costs associated with the plant site open area remediation and transportation, engineered closure plan design and supporting documentation, and monitoring inspection program. EE&D expenses also increased due to $0.3 million incurred on the Guanajuato focused exploration program, and $0.2 million Tucano EE&D expenses.

¹ The Company has included non-GAAP performance measures such as mine operating earnings before non-cash items, throughout this document. Refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A for an explanation of these measures and reconciliation to the Company’s financial results reported in accordance with IFRS. As these are not standardized measures, they may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others.

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 29
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Finance and other income (expense)

Finance and other expense increased by $0.8 million due to a $2.0 million increase in finance costs related to interest expense on Tucano borrowings and past due payables, a $0.9 million increase in other expenses primarily due to the write-off of Tucano’s ICMS, a $0.4 million of accretion expense on lease liabilities, a $0.3 million decrease in interest income, and a $0.3 million increase in accretion expense on reclamation and remediation provision. These were partly offset by a $3.1 million increase in foreign exchange gains as a result of the BRL/USD forward foreign exchange contracts which were marked to market at the prevailing exchange rate at December 31, 2019 (4.03 BRL/USD), net of Tucano foreign exchange losses that mainly arose from the translation of foreign currency denominated borrowings into the Company’s USD presentation currency.

Tax expense

Income tax expense decreased by $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, which was mainly due to the reversal in the fourth quarter of 2019 of $0.4 million income tax expense at Tucano recorded in the third quarter of 2019. This was partly offset by $0.2 million higher deferred income tax expense at the Mexican subsidiaries.

Net loss

The fourth quarter of 2019 reflected a net loss of $28.1 million compared to $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The change was largely accounted for by a $6.2 million decrease in mine operating earnings, a $10.7 million increase in EE&D expenses, a $7.3 million increase in G&A expenses, a $0.8 million increase in finance and other expense, and a $0.2 million in care and maintenance expenses for Guanajuato. These factors were partly offset by a $0.5 million decrease in acquisition costs related to the Acquisition incurred in the comparative period, and a $0.2 million decrease in income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was negative $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to negative $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease reflects a $7.3 million increase in G&A expenses, a $0.9 million increase in other expenses, a $0.8 million increase in EE&D expenses before non-cash items (such as non-cash share-based compensation and changes in estimates of reclamation provisions), and a $0.2 million in Guanajuato care and maintenance costs. These were partly offset by a $6.4 million increase in mine operating earnings before non-cash items.

GUIDANCE AND OUTLOOK

Guidance

Great Panther is not yet in a position to provide collective Company-wide guidance for 2020 but it is providing individual operating guidance for both Tucano and the GMC. These two operations combined represented approximately 85% of 2019 production on a gold equivalent ounce basis.

Further as discussed below, the remainder of the Company’s 2019 production was from Topia, for which the 2020 operations outlook is still being assessed. Great Panther expects to provide Topia operating guidance, in order to complete Company-wide guidance by the end of the second quarter of 2020.

Great Panther’s 2020 Operating Guidance for Tucano and the GMC compared with actual 2019 results is as follows:

Operating Guidance		Tucano  (costs per Au payable oz) (1)		GMC  (costs per Ag payable oz) (1)		Topia  (costs per Ag payable oz) (1) (3)

(2) 2019 results for Tucano are reflective of the period under Great Panther ownership beginning March 5, 2019

(3) Topia 2020 operating guidance is to be provided by the end of the second quarter of 2020, as further detailed under the Topia section below.

Outlook

Tucano

At Tucano, 2020 planned production is between 120,000 to 130,000 gold ounces, representing an increase of approximately 13% - 23% compared to the 106,000 gold ounces of production under Great Panther’s ownership in 2019, and marginally higher than Tucano’s full year 2019 production at the mid-point of 2020 guidance. Production is expected to be primarily sourced from the Urucum Central North, TAP AB3, and Urucum North pits, with lower than average production expected in the first quarter, impacted by seasonal wet weather effects and a focus on waste movement which is expected to benefit ore production in the remainder of 2020. Ore production from the Urucum Central South pit (“UCS”) is not included in the 2020 guidance but is planned for 2021, subject to successful remedial work. UCS was removed from the near-term mine plan in the third quarter of 2019 due to a geotechnical incident (refer to news releases dated October 7, 2019 and October 15, 2019).

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 31
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Great Panther initiated remedial unloading work at UCS in the first quarter of 2020 to remove free diggable material at the top of the west wall slope. Continued remedial unloading work and benching involving drilling and blasting is expected to start in the third quarter. This work is planned based on established protocols from the Company’s consultants, Knight Piesold, and is contingent on favorable results from five geotechnical core holes to be drilled, commencing in May 2020. The majority of planned capitalized stripping expenditures of $23-27 million in 2020 are related to the Urucum pits, including approximately 2 million tonnes related to remedial work at UCS, with the remainder relating to Tap AB pits. Capitalized stripping guidance is sensitive to any changes in pit sequencing during 2020, which will impact the accounting treatment of waste movement on a pit-by-pit basis during the course of the year. This accounting treatment will have a corresponding impact on cash costs; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on AISC.

The 2020 AISC guidance mid-point of $1,200 per payable ounce of gold represents a reduction of approximately 15% relative to 2019’s AISC of $1,406 per payable ounce of gold. The reduction results from an expectation of a more favorable currency exchange rate, lower diesel prices and other supply costs, along with various business improvement initiatives.

Capital expenditures of approximately $7 million primarily relate to normal course, staged expansion of Tucano’s tailings storage capacity, and the installation of a new primary crusher at the plant scheduled for mid-year.

Exploration expenditures of approximately $7 million, as outlined in the Company’s news release dated February 6, 2020, are primarily focused on near mine drilling activities intended to replace gold ounces mined in 2020. These activities are ongoing, and the Company expects that a significant amount of the drilling to be completed by the end of the third quarter. The Company plans to assess any increases to the exploration expenditure guidance in the third quarter of 2020, concurrent with the evaluation of the drilling results from the first half of 2020.

The Company’s guidance for Tucano is sensitive to a number of factors, including the exchange rate of the US dollar to the Brazilian real, fluctuations in key input costs including diesel, pre-stripping requirements related to remedial work at UCS, and weather.

GMC

At the GMC, 2020 planned production is between 1.2 to 1.4 million silver equivalent ounces, a decline of approximately 7% to 20% from actual 2019 production of 1.5 million silver equivalent ounces. The 2020 guidance is based on a silver to gold ratio of 90:1 (which compares to 80:1 reported in 2019, and approximately 110:1 at current market prices) and based on over 80% of the ore production is sourced from the San Ignacio Mine. The Company has increased the silver to gold ratio for reporting purposes as a result of the relative outperformance of gold versus silver over the last year. The mid-point of the 2020 AISC guidance is in line with 2019 actual results. The Company’s expanded exploration program at the Guanajuato Mine and at the San Ignacio Mine (refer to news release dated January 28, 2020) is continuing as planned, with the objective of potentially increasing production from the Guanajuato Mine later in 2020, as well as rebuilding mineral resources at both mines.

The Company’s guidance for GMC is sensitive to a number of factors, including the exchange rate of the US dollar to the Mexican peso, and fluctuations in key input costs including diesel. In addition, exploration results from the ongoing drilling campaign at the Guanajuato Mines, if positive, could result in an upward revision to guidance in the second half of 2020.

Topia

On March 9th, 2020, the Company announced that it had temporarily ceased dry tailings deposition at its Topia Phase II tailings storage facility (“TSF”) following receipt of a report from the independent tailings management and geotechnical consultants engaged by the Company to evaluate the TSF. The March 9, 2020 disclosure anticipated that mining and processing activities at Topia might cease by the end of March 2020. However, operations are now expected to continue uninterrupted at current levels until at least the end of April 2020 by way of storing dry tailings at and near the filtration plant. Filtration of tailings for dry stacking at Topia commenced in 2017.

The Company is continuing discussions with geotechnical and tailings management consultants regarding ongoing observations and assessments, while continuing to monitor conditions at the TSF. Alternatives to minimize any potential cessation of processing activities in 2020 are being evaluated, including re-commencement of tailings deposition at the Phase II TSF (if satisfactory mitigation measures can be achieved), and normal course permitting for the Phase III TSF, which is already at an advanced stage. While the Company cannot be certain of the timeline to permit the Phase III TSF, it expects it can obtain the necessary permit within the next three to six months.

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 32
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

If one of the aforementioned alternatives is not in place by the end of April, mill processing activities will temporarily cease until either Phase III is permitted or suitable mitigation of Phase II can be achieved. The Company is also evaluating the continuation of mining and stockpiling of ore if a temporary cessation of mill processing activities were to occur.

As 2020 production and costs for Topia will be impacted by the Company’s ability to continue mining and processing after April 2020, the Company plans to complete its assessment of alternatives before providing 2020 operational guidance. Concurrent with the availability of a more reliable outlook for the Topia operation, Great Panther expects to provide annual operational guidance for Topia, in order to complete Company-wide guidance by the end of the second quarter of 2020.

Topia accounted for approximately 15% of the Company’s 2019 consolidated production on a gold equivalent ounce basis. Great Panther has operated Topia continuously since 2006, with the exception of only brief stoppages for upgrades and permitting.

A new Mineral Resource Estimate for Topia is being developed to which the Company expects to announce by the end of 2020. This estimate will supersede a prior estimate which was effective July 31, 2018. As announced in the news release dated March 9, 2020, the Company previously expected to announce an updated Mineral Resource for Topia by June 30, 2020; while this later expected target date reflects the Company’s prioritization of exploration programs at the GMC during the first half of 2020.

Coricancha

The Company continues to evaluate the timeline and conditions for a potential re-start of the Coricancha Mine. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company undertook a limited mining and mill processing campaign of approximately 25,000 tonnes. These activities have been temporarily suspended in accordance with the Peruvian government-mandated restrictions associated with a 15-day National State of Emergency announced on March 16, 2020 in response to COVID-19, and the effective period was extended on March 26th to April 12, 2020.

General Uncertainty due to COVID 19 Measures

The Company has been closely monitoring the effects of the spread of the coronavirus respiratory disease (COVID-19) with a focus on the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and its head office location in Canada.

The rapid worldwide spread of COVID-19 is prompting governments to incrementally implement restrictive measures in an attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19. During this period of uncertainty, Great Panther’s priority is to safeguard the health and safety of personnel and host communities, support and enforce government actions to slow the spread of COVID-19, and to continually assess and mitigate the risks to the business operations.

The Company has implemented a COVID-19 response plan that includes a number of measures to safeguard against the spread of the virus at its offices and sites and is also maintaining regular communications with legal and government representatives, suppliers, customers and business partners to monitor any potential risks to its ongoing operations. Broader government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 have not impacted the Company’s operating mines in Mexico and Brazil to date and there are no confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 across the Company’s corporate offices and operations, including those on care and maintenance.

Although there have not been any impacts to the Company’s operations to date, the Company cannot provide assurance that there will not be disruptions to its operations in the future. If the Company’s operations are impacted or expected to be impacted, the Company will seek measures to preserve cash including suspension of discretionary spending and other collaborative and legal means to reduce and minimize contractual spending.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net working capital including cash and cash equivalents

(000’s)	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018		Change
Cash and cash equivalents	$	36,970	$	24,524	$	12,446
Short-term deposits	$	–	$	26,057	$	(26,057	)
Net working capital	$	12,815	$	63,271	$	(50,456	)

Cash and short-term deposits decreased by $13.6 million during 2019 primarily due to $26.2 million of net cash repayment of Tucano borrowings. Capital investments consumed $25.9 million in additions to plant and equipment, including $13.3 million of capitalized stripping at Tucano, and $2.2 million of capitalized confirmation and conversion drilling expenditures at Tucano. Lease liability repayments amounted to $6.2 million. These were partly offset by contributions to cash which included $15.9 million of net proceeds from the bought deal financing, $13.8 million of cash provided by operating activities, $10.0 million promissory note from IXM, $2.7 million of partial repayment on the loan advanced to Beadell, $1.4 million of cash received upon the Acquisition, $0.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and $0.4 million in net cash recovery of the Coricancha environmental bond.

Net working capital was $12.8 million as at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $50.5 million from the start of the year. The decrease was mainly due to the $36.8 million of net repayments of Tucano’s long-term borrowings ($26.2 million net cash repayments and $10.5 million repayment via issuance of shares), $25.9 million additions to mineral property, plant and equipment, and $5.5 million of lease liabilities recognized upon the adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases. The Company’s current borrowings reflect $16.6 million of unsecured revolving credit facilities of its Brazilian subsidiary, $11.4 million of unsecured debt owed to MACA, and a $10.0 million promissory note from IXM. Contributions to net working capital during the year included $15.9 million net cash proceeds from the bought deal financing and the $3.5 million derivative assets recorded on the BRL/USD forward foreign exchange contracts which were marked to market at the prevailing exchange rate at December 31, 2019.

Operating activities

For the year ended December 31, 2019, cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to $13.8 million, compared to $0.3 million in 2018. The $13.5 million increase in cash flows was primarily due to an increase in mine operating earnings before non-cash items of $29.9 million, an increase in net working capital of $8.2 million, and a decrease in income taxes paid of $1.2 million. These factors were partly offset by an increase in G&A cash expenses of $10.4 million, an increase in interest paid of $5.6 million, an increase in other expenses of $3.4 million, an increase in EE&D cash expenses of $2.3 million, Beadell business acquisition costs of $1.6 million, an increase in realized foreign exchange losses of $1.2 million, Guanajuato care and maintenance costs of $0.8 million, and a decrease in interest received of $0.5 million.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to $7.8 million, compared to outflows of $1.9 million cash used by operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2018. The $9.7 million increase in cash flows was primarily due to an increase in mine operating earnings before non-cash items of $6.4 million, an increase in net working capital of $13.6 million, a decrease in Beadell acquisition costs as the comparative period reflected $0.6 million of acquisition costs during the due diligence process, and a decrease in income taxes paid of $0.2 million. These factors were partly offset by an increase in G&A cash expenses of $7.3 million, an increase in interest paid of $1.4 million, an increase in other expenses of $0.9 million, an increase in EE&D cash expenses of $0.8 million, an increase in net realized foreign exchange gains of $0.6 million, Guanajuato care and maintenance costs of $0.2 million, and a decrease in interest received of $0.1 million.

Investing activities

The Company invests in short term deposits and similar instruments as part of its routine cash management procedures when it has excess cash. As these instruments are acquired or mature at various times and periods, cash flows provided by or used in investing activities vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Excluding movements in short terms deposits, for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company invested $25.9 million in mineral properties, plant and equipment, including $13.3 million of capitalized stripping at Tucano, and $2.2 million of capitalized confirmation and conversion drilling expenditures at Tucano. This was partly offset by $2.7 million of partial repayment received on the loan advanced to Beadell prior to the Acquisition, the $1.4 million cash received upon the Acquisition, and a $0.4 million net cash recovery in relation to the Coricancha environmental bond. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company advanced $5.0 million to Beadell and invested $2.1 million in mineral properties, plant and equipment.

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 34
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Similarly, the Company’s cash outflows in the fourth quarter of 2019 included $5.4 million for additions to mineral properties, plant and equipment (including $1.1 million of capitalized stripping costs at Tucano). For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company advanced $5.0 million to Beadell and invested $0.6 million in mineral properties, plant and equipment.

Financing activities

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company used $6.0 million consisting of net cash repayment of borrowings of $16.2 million, and payment of lease liabilities of $6.2 million, partly offset by the $15.9 million of net proceeds from the bought deal financing, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.5 million. The financing cash inflows for the year ended December 31, 2018 related to $0.3 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Cash flows from financing activities amounted to $7.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2019 which can be primarily attributed to the $10.0 million promissory note from IXM, partly offset by net cash repayments on Tucano borrowings of $0.8 million, and the payment of lease liabilities of $1.8 million. The minimal financing cash inflows during the fourth quarter of 2018 related to proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Trends in liquidity and capital resources

In addition to its cash and other net working capital at December 31, 2019, the Company completed an $11.25 million gold doré prepayment facility with Samsung in February 2020, and completed an increase in its credit facilities with Banco Bradesco in Brazil in March 2020 which consists of a $10.0 million term loan at an 3.7% interest rate and a requirement to retain $7.5 million cash collateral. The Company expects to generate positive cash flows from its mining operations in 2020 prior to capital investments, exploration and evaluation and development costs, and debt repayment obligations, at current metal prices and at current exchange rates for the BRL and MXN to the US dollar. This also assuming no significant disruptions to production. Despite this, the Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional debt or equity over the next twelve months to fund capital investments and projects for its operating mines and meet scheduled debt repayment obligations. Additional capital will be needed in the event the Company determines it will restart Coricancha. Additional possible sources of capital include the ATM Facility and accessing the private and public capital markets for debt and equity over the next twelve months. The inability to access sources of capital could adversely impact the Company’s liquidity and require the Company to curtail capital and other discretionary expenditures.

In April 2019, the Company settled convertible debentures assumed in the Acquisition in the amount of $10.5 million pursuant to a change of control right on the part of the convertible debenture holders. Also since the Acquisition, the Company made cash repayments totaling $15.5 million ($12.0 million to December 31, 2019 and $3.5 million subsequent) in connection with an amended credit agreement with MACA, repaid the $5.0 million Santander – Itaú Facility in full, and repaid $0.9 million of the unsecured bank facilities.

As noted in the Significant Events section, in the third quarter of 2019, the Company completed a bought deal financing for gross proceeds of $17.3 million, and entered into an ATM Agreement under which it can sell common shares equal to the lesser of i) 10% of the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common shares as at the last trading day of the month before the month in which the first trade under the offering is made, and ii) aggregate gross proceeds of $25.0 million. To date, the Company has not issued any shares under the ATM Facility. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a $10.0 million promissory note agreement with IXM.

The Company may also determine to defer certain capital and exploration expenditures to balance the Company’s requirements for capital against the need to ensure that the financing arrangements are aligned with the Company’s longer term capital plans. The Company has also been actively pursuing refunds on its Brazil Program of Social Integration (“PIS”) and Contribution for the Financing of Social Security (“COFINS”) federal input tax receivables and has been successful in its collection.

Of the $38.1 million of current borrowings at December 31, 2019, $3.5 million was repaid at the date of this MD&A and there are approximately $34.6 million of remaining repayments due in 2020.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

As the Company met its previously stated objective to grow by acquisition, in the next twelve months, the Company will be focusing on Tucano optimization and exploration, including the plan to rehabilitate UCS, the evaluation of the Topia Phase II TSF and other alternatives to store tailings, and the permitting of Topia Phase III TSF. In addition, a continued focus will be on completing the exploration program at Guanajuato, overall improvement of performance of the Mexican operations, and further optimizing and de-risking Coricancha.

The Company’s operating cash flows are very sensitive to the prices of gold and silver, and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, as well as fluctuations in ore grades and other operating factors. Consequently, any cash flow outlook the Company provides may vary significantly. Spending and capital investment plans may also be adjusted in response to changes in operating cash flow expectations. An increase in average gold and silver prices from current levels may result in an increase in planned expenditures and, conversely, weaker average silver prices and gold prices could result in a reduction of planned expenditures.

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement for Coricancha (the “Coricancha Acquisition Agreement”), Nyrstar N.V. (the “Vendor”) agreed to indemnify the Company for up to $20.0 million on account of certain reclamation and remediation expenses incurred in connection with Coricancha, including certain reclamation and remediation obligations noted in the table above. As at December 31, 2019, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflected a reimbursement right in the amount of $9.3 million in respect of these reclamation and remediation obligations that will be recoverable from the Vendor when these expenditures are incurred. Since closing the acquisition on June 30, 2017, the Company has received $1.8 million in reimbursements from the Vendor in respect of reclamation and remediation costs incurred by the Company at Coricancha.

Under the Coricancha Acquisition Agreement, the Vendor also agreed to indemnify the Company for up to $4.0 million in respect of legal claims and fines and sanctions that the Company may be required to pay in connection with Coricancha. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded a reimbursement right in the amount of $1.9 million in respect of certain fines and sanctions, and legal claims that will be recoverable from the Vendor upon the conclusion of these claims.

Pursuant to the acquisition of Coricancha on June 30, 2017, the Vendor agreed to maintain a remediation bond in the amount of $9.7 million for Coricancha until at least June 30, 2020. Should the Company make a decision to permanently close Coricancha prior to June 30, 2020, the bond will be used to pay for remediation costs and obligations. If the Company has not made a decision to permanently close Coricancha by June 30, 2020, the Company will assume the obligation to maintain the required bond in the amount $9.7 million, and shall release Nyrstar from these obligations. The funding of the required bond is not included in Contractual Obligations table and would require the Company to source funding to meet this additional obligation.

Off-Balance sheet arrangements

Other than as disclosed, the Company had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as at the date of this MD&A, that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the financial performance or financial condition of the Company.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The Company had no material transactions with related parties.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on historical experience and other factors considered to be reasonable, and are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Refer to note 4 of the 2019 annual audited consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of the areas in which critical accounting estimates are made and where actual results may differ from the estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results of its statement of financial position reported in future periods.

Significant new judgments made by management during the year ended December 31, 2019 are those associated with the new significant judgements related to lessee accounting under IFRS 16 – Leases, purchase price accounting in arriving at estimated acquisition-date fair values for the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Acquisition, determinations of the likelihood of loss for provisions and contingent liabilities related to the litigation matters assumed upon the Acquisition, and the determination that the functional currency of Mina Tucano Ltda (formerly Beadell Brasil Ltda) is the BRL and that of Beadell Resources Limited Australia is the Australian dollar (“A$”).

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company adopted the new IFRS 16 – Leases accounting standard effective January 1, 2019. Refer to note 3(r) of the 2019 annual audited consolidated financial statements for the impacts of the adoption of this standard.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In October 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amendments are intended to assist entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and apply prospectively. Earlier application is permitted. The Company currently does not believe the amendments will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

A discussion of the types of risks the Company is exposed to, and how such risks are managed by the Company, is provided in note 20 of the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

SECURITIES OUTSTANDING

As of the date of this MD&A, the Company had 311,951,850 common shares issued and outstanding. There were 7,917,396 options, 851,031 restricted share units, 754,000 performance-based restricted share units, 946,150 deferred share units, and 9,749,727 share purchase warrants outstanding.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The Company has included certain non-GAAP performance measures throughout this MD&A, including cost per tonne milled, cash cost per gold ounce sold, cash cost per payable silver ounce, AISC per gold ounce sold excluding corporate G&A expenditures, AISC per gold ounce sold, AISC per payable silver ounce, mine operating earnings before non- cash items, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA each as defined in this section. The Company employs these measures internally to measure its operating and financial performance and to assist in business decision making. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and other stakeholders also use these non-GAAP measures as information to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance. As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-GAAP measures, the Company’s methods may differ from those used by others and, therefore, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA provides an indication of the Company’s continuing capacity to generate income from operations before taking into account the Company’s financing decisions and costs of amortizing capital assets. Accordingly, EBITDA comprises net income (loss) excluding interest expense, interest income, amortization and depletion, and income taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA to exclude share-based compensation expense, foreign exchange gains and losses, impairment charges, changes in reclamation estimates recorded in EE&D, and non-recurring items. Under IFRS, entities must reflect within compensation expense the cost of share-based compensation. In the Company’s circumstances, share-based compensation can involve significant amounts that will not be settled in cash but are settled by the issuance of shares in exchange. The Company discloses adjusted EBITDA to aid in understanding the results of the Company.

Mine operating earnings before non-cash items

Mine operating earnings before non-cash items provides a measure of the Company’s mine operating earnings on a cash basis. This measure is provided to better assess the cash generation ability of the Company’s operations, before G&A expenses, EE&D expenses, share based compensation, and amortization. A reconciliation of mine operating earnings is provided in the Results of Operations section.

Cost per tonne milled

The Company uses cost per tonne milled to manage and evaluate operating performance at each of its mines. Cost per tonne milled is calculated based on total production costs on a sales basis, adjusted for changes in inventory, to arrive at total production costs that relate to metal production during the period. These total production costs are then divided by the number of tonnes milled during the period.

Management believes that the Company’s ability to control cost per tonne milled is one of its key performance indicators of its operations. The Company believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about its underlying cost of operations and how management controls those costs.

The following table reconciles cost per tonne milled to production costs, a component of cost of sales, for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

Cash cost per gold ounce sold

The Company uses cash cost to manage and evaluate operating performance at each of its mines. It is a widely- reported measure in the precious metals mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but does not have a standardized meaning. Cash cost is calculated based on the total cash operating costs with the deduction of revenues attributable to sales of by-product metals net of the respective smelting and refining charges. By-products consist of gold at the GMC, and gold, lead and zinc at Topia.

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 40
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Management believes that the Company’s ability to control cash cost is one of the key performance indicators for its operations. Having low cash cost facilitates profitability, even during times of declining commodity prices, and provides more flexibility in responding to changing market conditions. In addition, a profitable operation results in the generation of positive cash flows, which then improve the Company’s financial condition. The Company believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about the Company's underlying cash cost of operations and the impact of by-product revenue on the Company’s cost structure, and consequently, it is a relevant metric to use to understand the Company’s operating profitability and its ability to generate positive cash flow.

The Company’s primary business is gold and silver production with the Acquisition and its future development and current operations focus on maximizing returns from gold production at Tucano, and silver production at the GMC and Topia, and other metal production associated with the silver production process. As gold is the primary metal produced by value since the addition of Tucano, silver, zinc and lead produced from operations are considered as by-products. As a result, the Company’s non-GAAP cost performance measures are disclosed on a per payable gold ounce basis. When deriving the production costs associated with an ounce of gold, the Company includes by-product credits from silver, zinc and lead sales that are associated with the gold production process, thereby allowing management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold production.

Cash cost and the associated by-product credits are computed based on sales during the period as opposed to a production basis. As such, the amount of the by-product credit may not directly correlate to the production reported for the period. Similarly, the cost per tonne milled during the period may not directly correlate to the cash cost reported for the same period due to differences between production and sales volumes.

Cash cost per payable silver ounce

Although the Company’s primary metal produced by value is now gold subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company still uses cash cost per payable silver ounce to manage and evaluate operating performance at its Mexican operating mines, the GMC and Topia, as silver continues to represent a significant portion of the production at these two mines. The Company is therefore continuing to provide the following table that reconciles cash cost per payable silver ounce to production costs for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

All-in sustaining cost (AISC) per gold ounce sold

AISC has been calculated based on World Gold Council (“WGC”) guidance released in 2013 and updated in 2018. The WGC is not a regulatory organization and does not have the authority to develop accounting standards for disclosure requirements. The Company believes that the disclosure of this measure provides a broader measure of the cost of producing an ounce of gold at its operations as this measure includes sustaining capital and EE&D expenditures, G&A costs, and other costs not commonly included in the cost of production and therefore not included in cash cost.

AISC starts with cash cost net of by-product revenues and adds G&A expenditures inclusive of share-based compensation, lease liability payments, accretion of reclamation provisions, sustaining EE&D expenses, and sustaining capital expenditures. Sustaining expenditures are those costs incurred to sustain and maintain existing assets at current productive capacity and constant planned levels of productive output. Excluded are non-sustaining capital expenditures, which result in a material increase in the life of assets, materially increase resources or reserves, productive capacity, or future earning potential, or which result in significant improvements in recovery or grade. Management believes that AISC represents the total sustainable costs of producing silver from current operations, and provides additional information of the Company’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flows.

AISC per payable silver ounce

As noted above, although the Company’s primary metal produced by value is now gold subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company still believes metrics on a silver basis is meaningful to manage and evaluate operating performance at its Mexican operating mines, the GMC and Topia, as silver continues to represent a significant portion of the production at these two mines. The Company is therefore continuing to provide the following table that reconciles cash operating costs, net of by-product revenue, to AISC per payable silver ounce for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

AISC per gold ounce sold, excluding corporate G&A expenditures

AISC excluding corporate G&A expenditures reflects the AISC at the Company’s operating mines. The calculation starts with cash cost net of by-product revenues and adds accretion of reclamation provisions, lease liability payments, sustaining EE&D expenses, and sustaining capital expenditures for the operating mines. Sustaining expenditures are those costs incurred to sustain and maintain existing assets at current productive capacity and constant planned levels of productive output.

The following table reconciles cash operating costs, net of by-product revenue, to AISC per gold ounce sold, excluding corporate G&A expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

¹ Cash operating costs, net of by-product revenue, are reconciled to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the cash cost table.

INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Disclosure controls and procedures within the Company have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is identified to its President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) to ensure appropriate and timely decisions are made regarding public disclosure.

Internal controls over financial reporting have been designed by management under the supervision of, and with the participation of the Company's CEO and CFO, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and its preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

¹ Cash operating costs, net of by-product revenue, are reconciled to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the cash cost table.

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED	Page 47
Management’s Discussion & Analysis

There have been no changes that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.

For accounting purposes, the Acquisition was completed on March 5, 2019. As permitted by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and applicable Canadian Securities Commission rules related to business acquisitions, the Company excluded Tucano from its annual assessment of internal controls over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Management's Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and concluded, as at December 31, 2019, that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management's Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2019, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO 2013"). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.

The Company acquired Beadell Resources Limited during 2019, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, Beadell Resources Limited’s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $178,575 and total revenues of $149,390 included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, as stated in their report included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. KPMG LLP also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Beadell Resources Limited in their audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company as of December 31, 2019.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements to be materially different. Such factors include, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to: the inherent risk that estimates of mineral reserves and resources may not be accurate and accordingly that mine production will not be as estimated or predicted; gold, silver and base metal prices may decline or may be less than forecasted; fluctuations in currency exchange rates (including the U.S. dollar to Brazilian real exchange rate) may increase costs of operations; operational and physical risks inherent in mining operations (including pit wall collapses, tailings storage facility failures, environmental accidents and hazards, industrial accidents, equipment breakdown, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, cave-ins, flooding and severe weather) may result in unforeseen costs, shut downs, delays in production and exposure to liability; planned exploration activities may not result in conversion of existing mineral resources into mineral reserves or discovery of new mineral resources; potential political and social risks involving Great Panther’s operations in a foreign jurisdiction; the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; employee relations; relationships with, and claims by, local communities and indigenous populations; the Company’s ability to obtain all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals in a timely manner; changes in laws, regulations and government practices in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; legal restrictions related to mining; the inability to remediate the UCS pit at the Tucano Gold Mine and the Topia tailings storage facility as planned; diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; acts of foreign governments; political risk; labour or social unrest; uncertainties related to title to the Company’s mineral properties and the surface rights thereon, including the Company’s ability to acquire, or economically acquire, the surface rights to certain of the Company’s exploration and development projects; unanticipated operational difficulties due to adverse weather conditions, failure of plant or mine equipment and unanticipated events related to health, safety, and environmental matters; failure of counterparties to perform their contractual obligations; uncertainty of Mineral Resource estimates; deterioration of general economic conditions; the Company’s ability to operate as anticipated; and the Company’s ability to appropriately capitalize and finance its operations, and other risks and uncertainties, including those described in respect of Great Panther in its Annual Information Form (“AIF”) for the year ended December 31, 2019 and material change reports filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators available at www.sedar.com and reports on Form 40-F and Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements or information. Forward-looking statements or information are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements or information.

The Company’s forward-looking statements and information are based on the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and opinions of management as of the date of this MD&A. The Company will update forward-looking statements and information if and when, and to the extent required by applicable securities laws. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Further information can be found in the section entitled "Description of the Business – Risk Factors" in the most recent Form 40-F/AIF on file with the SEC and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities. Readers are advised to carefully review and consider the risk factors identified in the Form 40-F/AIF for a discussion of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to be materially different from any anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. It is recommended that prospective investors consult the more complete discussion of the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects that is included in the Form 40-F/AIF.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES

As a British Columbia corporation and a “reporting issuer” under Canadian securities laws, the Company is required to provide disclosure regarding its mineral properties in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. In accordance with NI 43-101, the Company uses the terms Mineral Reserves and Resources as they are defined in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Reserves and Resources (the “CIM Definition Standards”) adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum.

The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the U.S. Exchange Act. These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”). The SEC Modernization Rules have replaced the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7 (“Guide 7”), which have been rescinded. The Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules as the Company is presently a “foreign issuer” under the U.S. Exchange Act and entitled to file continuous disclosure reports with the SEC under the MJDS Disclosure System between Canada and the United States.

The SEC Modernization Rules include the adoption of terms describing Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources that are substantially similar to the corresponding terms under the CIM Definition Standards. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, SEC will now recognize estimates of Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of Proven Mineral Reserves and Probable Mineral Reserves to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definitions.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

19.    CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to:

- ensure there are adequate capital resources to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;

- maintain adequate levels of cash to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties, exploration and evaluation assets, and the operation of producing mines;

- maintain investor, creditor and market confidence to sustain future development of the business; and

- provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

In assessing the capital structure of the Company, management includes in its assessment the components of shareholders’ equity and debt, net of cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits. Tucano, Topia and  San Ignacio are in production, but exploration and development activities are also performed at these and other exploration properties in order to identify further reserves and resources.  Additionally, for Coricancha which has been on care and maintenance since August 2013, the Company continues to evaluate the timeline and conditions for a potential re-start. The Company plans to use existing cash, including cash raised from equity and debt financing during the year ended December 31, 2019, as well as funds from future sales of precious metals to fund operations, development and exploration activities, and capital expenditures. 

The Company manages its capital in a manner that provides sufficient funding for operational activities.  Annual capital and operating expenditure budgets, and rolling forecasts, are used to determine the necessary capital requirements.  These budgets are approved by management and the Board and updated for changes in the underlying assumptions, economic conditions and risk characteristics of the underlying assets, as necessary.  Since the Acquisition, based on current projected operating cash flows and anticipated capital expenditures, the Company obtained equity and debt financing as described in note 1.  The Company will continue to focus on internally generating operating cash flow to minimize its future reliance on equity and debt financing.  However, the Company may determine that it requires further financing through the offering of its share capital via the ATM Facility, and/or other equity and debt financing, in order to meet long-term objectives.

The Company’s capital structure is dependent on expected business growth and changes in the business environment. As at December 31, 2019, the Company was not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

SHARE CAPITAL

SHARE CAPITAL

SHARE CAPITAL

15.    SHARE CAPITAL

(a)     Authorized share capital

The Company has an unlimited number of common shares without par value authorized for issue. The Company has an unlimited number of Class A and Class B preferred shares without par value authorized for issue. Each class can be issuable in series. No preferred shares have ever been issued.

(b)     Share options

In June 2017, upon approval by shareholders, the Company adopted an Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) to supplement and eventually replace the then-existing stock option plan (the "2016 Plan"). Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, the Company may grant stock options (“Options”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance based restricted share units (“PSUs”), and deferred share units (“DSUs”) to eligible employees, officers, directors, or consultants. The maximum number of common shares that the Company may issue is limited to 10% of the outstanding common shares, less the number of stock options already outstanding pursuant to the 2016 Plan and the Omnibus Plan, less twice the number of common shares counted as RSU, PSU, and DSU awards. There are additional limits with respect to insiders, individual grants, annual grants, and the number of which may be awarded to non-executive directors.

Options granted under the 2016 Plan will remain outstanding and be governed by the terms of the 2016 Plan. Options granted after the adoption of the Omnibus Plan will be governed by the Omnibus Plan.

Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, options are non-transferable. The exercise price of options shall not be less than the closing price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the last business day immediately preceding the date of grant. Grant date share price is the closing market price on the day the options were granted. Options have expiry dates of no later than 10 years after the date of grant and will cease to be exercisable three months following the termination of the participant’s employment or engagement.

Pursuant to the 2016 Plan, options are non-transferable, subject to permitted transferees, and the aggregate may not exceed 10% of the outstanding shares at the time of an option grant and the aggregate to any one person may not exceed 5% of the outstanding shares. The exercise price of options is determined by the Board but shall not be less than the closing price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the last business day immediately preceding the date of grant. Grant date share price is the closing market price on the day the options were granted. Options have expiry dates of no later than 5 years after the date of grant and cease to be exercisable 90 days following the termination of the participant’s employment or engagement.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense relating to share options of $552 (2018 – $611).

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 was C$0.38 (2018 – C$0.66). The grant date fair value of share options granted was determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

	2019		2018
Risk-free interest rate	1.36	%	1.95	%
Expected life (years)	3.05		2.89
Annualized volatility	54	%	62	%
Forfeiture rate	15	%	14	%

The annualized volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common share price on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

(c)     Restricted share units ("RSUs"), Performance based restricted share unit (“PSUs”) and Deferred share units ("DSUs")

RSUs are awards for service which upon vesting and settlement entitle the recipient to receive common shares, a cash equivalent, or a combination thereof. Vesting conditions for RSUs are set by the Board but cannot exceed three years. The choice of settlement method is at the Company’s sole discretion. The RSUs granted to date vest in several tranches over three years. An estimated forfeiture rate calculated and updated based on historical forfeitures and cancellations was used in the determination of fair value for the purposes of computing share-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements.

PSUs are a subset of RSUs, however PSUs have one or more performance conditions. PSUs may only be settled through the issuance of common shares.

DSUs are awards to participants for directorship which settle upon termination of service of the participant.  Vesting conditions for DSUs are set by the Board.  Upon settlement, DSUs entitle the recipient to receive common shares, a cash equivalent, or a combination thereof.  The choice of settlement method is at the Company's sole discretion.  Timing of settlement after vesting occurs is at the discretion of the participant and can be any time between the date of termination of service of the participant and December 15th of the following calendar year.  The DSUs granted to date have vested immediately.

The fair values of the DSUs and RSUs granted to employees and directors have been estimated by reference to the fair value on the grant date of the equity instruments granted. The Company has no history of paying dividends, and consequently, no amounts in respect of dividends were included in the estimates of fair value of the equity instruments granted.

The following table summarizes information about the RSUs outstanding at December 31, 2019 and 2018:

OPERATING SEGMENTS

24.    OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company’s operations are all within the mining sector, consisting of three operating segments, two of which are located in Mexico, one of which is located in Brazil, plus one segment associated with Coricancha in Peru, one Exploration segment and one Corporate segment. Due to diversities in geography and production processes, the Company operates the Tucano, the GMC, and Topia mines separately, with separate budgeting and evaluation of results of operations and exploration activities. The Coricancha segment contains the net assets associated with Coricancha and the cost of its exploration, evaluation and development activities are separately budgeted and reported. The Corporate segment provides financial, human resources and technical support to the three mining operations and Coricancha. The GMC operation produces silver and gold in concentrate, and the Topia operation produces silver, gold, lead and zinc in concentrate, for refining off site. The Tucano operation produces gold doré. The Exploration segment includes the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets at Santa Rosa, El Horcón, Plomo and Argosy.

(a)    PIS/COFINS

The PIS (Program of Social Integration) and COFINS (Contribution for the Financing of Social Security) are Brazil federal input taxes that all companies in the private sector are subject to.  The PIS is a mandatory employer contribution to an employee savings initiative and COFINS is a contribution to finance the social security system.  Companies are required to calculate and remit PIS and COFINS based on gross revenues on a monthly basis.  The Company’s Brazilian gold sales are zero-rated for PIS/COFINS purposes, however the current legislation allows for input tax credits to offset the amounts due by applying rates of 1.65% for PIS and 7.65% for COFINS, respectively, to some of the purchases in Brazil.  As such, the Company has PIS/COFINS credits recorded as receivables.

The Company continues to pursue the refund of its PIS/COFINS receivables.  To the extent the Company is unable to receive refunds for all of its PIS/COFINS assets, the Company expects that PIS/COFINS assets will be recovered through the Company generating future Brazilian federal tax liabilities, which can be offset against the Company’s PIS/COFINS assets if the Company elects to do so.  The current portion relates to the recovery expected in 2020.

In January 2019, Beadell received a refund of $10,300  (BRL 37,900). In October 2019, the Company received an additional refund of $3,125 (BRL 13,000).

(b)    Judicial deposits - Brazil

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company has various litigation claims for numerous governmental assessments related to indirect taxes, and labour disputes associated with former employees and contract labour in Brazil (note 21(b)(iv)).

Customary local regulations typically require judicial deposits.  In connection with these claims, the Company has made judicial deposits totaling $1,243 to prevent the addition of any fines or penalties, pending the outcome of a Federal Supreme Court decision.  Of the $1,243,  $389 were related to indirect tax matters and $854 were related to labour matters.  A provision of $854 was recognized for the labour matters (note 21(b)(iv)); as such, this amount was netted against the judicial deposit.

(c)    Income taxes recoverable – Brazil

In Brazil, if there are income taxes payable and social contribution on net profits (“CSLL”) payable, companies are required to remit the balances owing to the tax authorities on a monthly basis.  During 2017, the Company paid $785 of income taxes and CSLL, and in the third quarter of 2019, the Company paid $367 of income taxes and CSLL.  However, at each of the respective fiscal year ends, upon the filing of the tax returns, it was subsequently determined that the Company was in a taxable loss position.  Therefore, a total of $1,152 is recoverable from the tax authorities.  As the Company is not expecting to receive the refunds within one year, this balance has been classified as non-current.

SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

25.    SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

The Company’s Tucano operation is subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of weather conditions.  Specifically, Tucano’s production is stronger in the second half of a calendar year as the dry season enables higher rates of mining productivity and the mine plan is characterized by lower strip ratios and access to higher grades in the open pits.  Accordingly, Tucano typically has more favourable operating results in the second half of the year.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, except for the new judgements and accounting standards newly adopted on January 1, 2019 as described in notes 3(r) and 4 below, the accounting policy on deferred stripping costs as described in note 3(q), and revenue recognition for the refined gold since the acquisition of Tucano as described in note 3(k) below.

(a)     Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All material intercompany transactions, balances, revenues, and expenses have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition or control and up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control. Control is achieved when the Company has power over the investee, is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with an investee, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Great Panther Mining Limited is the ultimate parent entity of the group. At December 31, 2019, the principal subsidiaries of the Company, their geographic locations, and the ownership interests held by the Company, were as follows:

Name	Location	Ownership	Principal Activity
Beadell Resources Pty Ltd	Australia	100%	Holding company
Beadell (Brazil) Pty Ltd	Australia	100%	Holding company
Beadell (Brazil 2) Pty Ltd	Australia	100%	Holding company
Beadell Resources (Holdings) Ltd	British Virgin Islands	100%	Holding company
Beadell Resources Mineração Ltda	British Virgin Islands	100%	Holding company
Mina Tucano Ltda (formerly Beadell Brasil Ltda)	Brazil	100%	Mining company
Mineração Vale dos Reis Ltda	Brazil	100%	Holding company

Great Panther Finance Canada Limited	Canada	100%	Financing company
Cangold Limited	Canada	100%	Exploration company
GP Finance International S.a.r.l.	Luxembourg	100%	Financing company

(b)     Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items in the statement of financial position:

- Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value;

- Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value; and

- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value.

(c)     Foreign currency translation

These consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars which is the Canadian parent company’s presentation currency and functional currency. The functional currency of ten of the Company’s subsidiaries is also the US dollar (“USD”). The functional currency of three of the Company’s Australian subsidiaries is the Australian dollar. The functional currency of five of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries is the Brazilian real (“BRL”). The functional currency of two of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries is the Mexican peso (“MXN”).

(i)      Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in net income.

(ii)     Translation of subsidiary results into the presentation currency

The operating results and statements of financial position of the Company’s subsidiaries which have a functional currency that differs from the Company’s presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

- Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position;

- Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates, unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions; and

- All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are recognized in a separate component of equity, foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognized in net income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

(d)     Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and money market instruments, with maturities from the date of acquisition of 90 days or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant changes in value. Transaction costs are expensed when incurred. Cash and cash equivalents are designated as financial assets at amortized cost.

(e)     Inventories

Inventories consist of:

- Gold bullion, gold in circuit, ore stockpiles and concentrate inventories which are stated at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Costs include production costs and amortization and depletion directly attributable to the inventory production process. Net realizable value is the expected selling price for the finished product less the costs to put the product into saleable form and delivery to the selling location.

- Materials and supplies inventory, which includes the cost of consumables used in operations are stated at the lower of weighted average cost and replacement cost which approximates net realizable value. Major spare parts and standby equipment are included in property, plant, and equipment when they are expected to be used over more than one period, if they can only be used in connection with an item of property, plant and equipment.

- Silver bullion coins and bars are recorded at lower of cost and net realizable value.

(f)      Mineral properties, plant and equipment

(i)      Mineral properties

Mine development costs are capitalized if management determines that there is sufficient evidence to support probability of generating positive economic returns in the future. A mineral resource is considered to have economic potential when the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extraction of the mineral resource is demonstrable considering long-term metal prices. Therefore, prior to capitalizing such costs, management determines whether the following conditions have been met: there is a probable future benefit that will contribute to future cash inflows; the Company can obtain the benefit and control access to it; and the transaction or event giving rise to the benefit has already occurred.

In the event that the Company does not have sufficient evidence to support the probability of generating positive economic returns in the future, mine development costs are expensed to profit or loss. The Company expenses mine development costs for San Ignacio. In September 2015, the Company commenced expensing mine development costs for Guanajuato when the published Measured and Indicated Resources for Guanajuato represented less than twelve months of remaining production. Mine development costs incurred at the GMC includes expenditures associated with accessing mineral resources and gaining further information regarding the ore body, whether by means of ramp development, drilling or sampling. Development costs at Coricancha are expensed to date.

Producing mineral properties acquired through business acquisitions are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Where applicable, the estimated cost of mine reclamation and remediation for the property is included in the cost of mineral properties.

(ii)     Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is originally recorded at cost at the time of construction, purchase, or acquisition, and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Cost includes all costs required to bring the plant and equipment into a condition and location where it is capable of operating according to its intended use.

Costs incurred for major overhaul of existing equipment or infrastructure are capitalized as plant and equipment and are subject to amortization once they are commissioned. Costs associated with routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

(iii)     Amortization and depletion

The Company's mineral properties in Mexico are depleted using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining life of the mine. The Company’s mineral properties at Tucano are depleted on a units of production basis over the economically recoverable reserves.

Plant and equipment directly related to the Mexico mining operations is amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated remaining life of the mine and the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. Plant and equipment directly related to the Tucano mining operations is amortized on a units of production basis over the economically recoverable reserves of the mine concerned, except in the case of assets whose useful life is shorter than the estimated remaining life of the mine, in which case the straight line method over the remaining useful life of the asset is used.

All other equipment, buildings and furniture and fixtures which do not relate directly to the mining operations are amortized over the useful life of the asset. Land is not amortized.

The following amortization rates are used by the Company for plant, equipment, buildings and furniture and fixtures which do not relate specifically to mining activities:

Computers	straight line over estimated useful life of 3 years
Furniture	straight line over estimated useful life of 5 years
Office	straight line over estimated useful life of 5 years
Software	straight line over estimated useful life of 3 years
Leasehold improvements	straight line over term of the lease

When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in profit or loss.

(g)     Exploration and evaluation assets

(i)      Exploration properties

Exploration properties represent properties for which the Company has not yet performed sufficient exploration work to determine whether significant mineralization exists. Exploration properties are carried at the cost of acquisition and included in exploration and evaluation assets. Exploration expenditures incurred on such properties are expensed as incurred as exploration expenditures in profit or loss. Examples of exploration expenditures that are expensed under this policy include topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies; exploratory drilling; trenching; and sampling. The Company considers its Coricancha, Santa Rosa, El Horcón, Plomo and Argosy projects to be in this category as at December 31, 2019, and consequently, expenses all costs associated with these projects as they are incurred.

(ii)     Evaluation properties

Evaluation properties represent properties for which the Company has identified a mineral resource of such quantity and grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. A mineral resource is considered to have reasonable prospects for economic extraction when the Company has sufficient information to determine that extraction is viable and feasible at expected long-term metal prices. Expenditures made in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are capitalized and included in exploration and evaluation assets. Evaluation expenditures include the costs of drilling, sampling and other costs related to defining and delineating the mineral deposit.

When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources associated with the Company’s evaluation properties are demonstrable and management has made a decision to proceed with development, the capitalized costs associated with evaluation assets are reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets to mineral properties. They are tested for impairment at that time.

(iii)    Amortization and depletion

Exploration and evaluation assets are not subject to depletion or amortization, but rather are tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

(h)     Leased assets

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting standard IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”), which replaced IAS 17 Leases (“IAS 17”). The Company’s accounting policy for leases upon adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 is outlined in 3(r) below.

(i)      Impairment of non-financial assets

Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the Company performs an impairment test by comparing the recoverable amount to the carrying amount of the relevant exploration and evaluation property. When the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount of the relevant exploration and evaluation property, an impairment charge is recorded and the property is written down to its recoverable amount. In addition, exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment at the date they are transferred to mineral properties, plant and equipment.

The Company’s mineral properties, plant and equipment are reviewed for any indication of impairment at each financial reporting date or at any time if an indicator of impairment is considered to exist. If any such indicators exist, an estimate of the recoverable amount is undertaken, being the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and the asset’s value in use. If the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount then an impairment loss is recognized in net income or loss for the period, and the carrying value of the asset on the statement of financial position is reduced to its recoverable amount. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Fair value of mineral properties is generally determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset, including any expansion prospects, discounted by an appropriate pre-tax discount rate to arrive at a net present value.

Value in use is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and from its ultimate disposal. Value in use is determined by applying assumptions specific to the Company’s continued use which includes future development. As such, these assumptions may differ from those used in calculating fair value.

In testing for indicators of impairment and performing impairment calculations, assets are grouped into cash-generating units, which are identified as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. The estimates of future discounted cash flows are subject to risks and uncertainties including estimated production, grades, recoveries, future metals prices, discount rates, exchange rates and operating costs.

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that have suffered an impairment are evaluated for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed. When a reversal of a previous impairment is recorded, the reversal amount is adjusted for depreciation that would have been recorded had the impairment not been recorded.

(j)      Share-based compensation

Equity-settled share-based compensation arrangements such as the Company’s stock option plan, restricted share unit plan, and deferred share unit plan are measured at fair value at the date of grant and recorded within equity. The fair value at grant date of all share-based compensation is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to shareholders’ equity. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect share options forfeited. The Company estimates the fair value of share options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

(k)     Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of precious metals, consisting of metal concentrates and refined gold, when the customer obtains control.

For the metal concentrates sales, the customer obtains control upon delivery at the customer’s designated warehouse. The amount of revenue recorded upon initial recognition is based on the forward metal prices at that time and the estimated metal content. The payment terms are based on the individual customer contracts. For provisional payments, terms are typically 15 days from the date of provisional invoice, and for final payments, terms are typically 5 business days after the final weights, assays and prices are known and invoiced. Adjustments related to changes in metal prices and metal content up to the final settlement are recorded in revenue.

For the refined gold, the customer obtains control when the refined gold has been physically delivered, which is also the date when title has passed to the buyer and the Company has issued an invoice pursuant to a transaction confirmation that fixes the quantity and price of the gold for each delivery. The amount of revenue recorded upon delivery is based on this transaction confirmation. The Company has no significant continuing involvement after delivery and no adjustments to revenue are made subsequent to initial recognition.

(l)      Reclamation and remediation provisions

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Company recognizes the cost of future reclamation and remediation as a liability when: the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and a reasonable estimate of the obligation can be made. The liability is measured initially by discounting expected costs to the net present value using pre-tax rates and risk assumptions specific to the liability. The resulting cost is capitalized to the carrying value of the related assets or expensed to profit or loss where there is no carrying value of the related assets, or where the cost is not recoverable. In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for accretion of the discount with the offsetting amount charged to the statement of comprehensive income as finance cost. Any change in the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows is adjusted to the carrying value of the liability, with the offsetting amount recorded as an adjustment to the reclamation and remediation provision cost included in mineral properties or exploration, evaluation and development expenses. Any amount charged to the carrying value of assets is depreciated over the remaining life of the relevant assets.

It is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost of remediation and reclamation could change in the future due to uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental disturbance, the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities, changes in remediation technology and changes in discount rates. The Company reviews its reclamation and remediation provision at least annually and as evidence becomes available indicating that its expected reclamation and remediation costs may have changed. Any such changes in costs could materially impact the future amounts recorded as reclamation and remediation provision.

(m)    Financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, marketable securities, trade and other receivables, loan receivable, restricted cash, trade and other payables, as well as derivative instruments.

(i)      Classification

The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), or fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVOCI”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial liability is classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

- it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

- it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

An equity investment that is held for trading is measured at FVTPL. For other equity investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to designate them as FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has elected to measure them at FVTPL.

(ii)     Measurement

Initial measurement

On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets and liabilities classified as FVTPL, in which case the transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Subsequent measurement

The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial instruments:

Financial assets at FVTPL	These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost	These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVOCI	These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI	These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Impairment of financial instruments

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, and debt investments at FVOCI, the Company applies the expected credit loss model. On adoption of the expected credit loss model there was no material adjustment.

(n)     Income taxes

Income tax is recognized in net income or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized directly in equity.

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (temporary differences), and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in net income in the period in which the change is substantively enacted. The amount of deferred tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is, in management’s estimation, probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset (i) when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, (ii) when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority, and (iii) the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(o)     Earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Company follows the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Under this method, dilution is calculated based upon the net number of common shares issued should “in-the-money” options and warrants be exercised and the proceeds be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Dilution from convertible securities is calculated based on the number of shares to be issued after taking into account the reduction of the related after-tax interest expense.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from restricted and deferred stock units and the assumed exercise of share options and warrants, if dilutive.

(p)     Segment reporting

The Company has identified operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Executive Officer and the executive management team (the chief operating decision maker – “CODM”) in assessing performance and in determining allocation of resources. The CODM considers the business from both a geographic and product perspective and assesses the performance of the operating segments based on measures such as net property, plant and equipment, as well as operating results. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company’s senior management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company has determined operating segments based on this information.

Segment results that are reported to senior management include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items are comprised mainly of corporate office expenses.

(q)     Deferred stripping

The Company defers certain related stripping costs during the production phase of its Tucano surface mine operation to future periods. Stripping costs that generate a benefit of improved access to future components of an ore body and meet the definition of an asset are recognized as stripping activity assets. Stripping activity assets are depreciated on a units of production basis over the useful life of the identifiable component of the ore body that becomes more accessible as a result of the stripping activity. Stripping activity assets form part of mineral properties, plant and equipment.

(r)      Accounting standards issued and adopted

IFRS 16, Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, which replaced IAS 17 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees: leases of low-value assets; and short-term leases. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, at the commencement date, a lessee recognizes a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. Lessees are required to separately recognize the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. IFRS 16 also requires lessees to make more extensive disclosures than under IAS 17.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the cumulative impact of adoption is recognized as at January 1, 2019, and the comparatives are not restated. The comparatives remain as previously reported under IAS 17 and related interpretations.

Accounting Policy on Leases

The Company’s accounting policy effective January 1, 2019 upon adoption of IFRS 16 is as follows:

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease.  A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.  To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

-The contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset.  If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

-The Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

-The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.  The Company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used.

This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after January 1, 2019.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.  The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. 

The right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits.  The right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.  Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets.  The lease payments associated with these leases is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Impact of transition to IFRS 16

On initial application, the Company has elected to record right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability.  Right-of-use assets of $1,150 and lease obligations of $1,227 were recorded as of January 1, 2019, and deferred rent liability of $77 was derecognized, with no net impact on retained earnings.  When measuring lease liabilities, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019.  The weighted-average rate applied was 6.2%.  

The following table reconciles the Company’s operating lease obligations at December 31, 2018, as previously disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, to the lease obligations recognized on initial application of IFRS 16 at January 1, 2019.

Operating lease commitments at December 31, 2018	$	1,383
Excluded from lease commitments due to cancellation clauses		70
Recognition exemption for low-value assets		(11)
		1,442
Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019		(215)
Lease obligations recognized at January 1, 2019	$	1,227

IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

Effective January 1, 2019, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) issued IFRIC 23 that sets out how to determine the accounting tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.  As at January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard and there was no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

(s)     Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amendments are intended to assist entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition.  The amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 2020 and apply prospectively.  Earlier application is permitted.  The Company currently does not believe the amendments will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

18.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

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 (interest rate, yield curves), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The following sets up the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments.

Financial asset or liability	Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value
Trade receivables	Trade receivables arising from the sales of metal concentrates are subject to provisional pricing, and the final selling price is adjusted at the end of the quotational period.  The Company marks these to market at each reporting date based on a quoted forward price.  The Company’s trade receivables are valued using quoted market prices on the London Metal Exchange.
Derivative instruments	The Company's derivative assets and derivative liabilities are comprised primarily of forward foreign exchange contracts.  The fair value of the Company's forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at each reporting date.
Borrowings	The Company’s borrowings are comprised of long-term loans, convertible debentures and debt facilities.  Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred.  Subsequent to initial measurement, borrowings are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers of amounts between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value is not presented if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables, restricted cash, trade payables, borrowings and derivative instruments.  The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the items or the inclusion of interest rates that approximate market rates.

In evaluating fair value information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates. The use of different market assumptions and valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments as at December 31, 2019:

RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION PROVISION

14.    RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION PROVISION

The Company’s reclamation and remediation provision relates to site restoration, clean-up, ongoing treatment, and monitoring at Tucano in Brazil, the GMC and Topia in Mexico, and Coricancha in Peru.

Accretion		1,840		897
Foreign exchange		16		—
Reclamation and remediation provision, end of period	$	55,574	$	27,420

In 2019, the change in reclamation estimates at the GMC were $6,829 (2018 –$214) and the change in reclamation estimates at Topia were $2,923 (2018 – $nil).  These were expensed to exploration, evaluation and development expenses as development costs are expensed for the site or the costs are not recoverable.

The reclamation and remediation provision for the GMC and Topia operations is based on the following assumptions:

	2019			2018
Total estimated cash flows	$	13,255		$	3,684
Expected settlement of obligations (years)		2021 – 2045			2021 – 2044
Weighted average risk-free rate (discount rate)
THE GMC		1.9	%		2.7	%
Topia		2.1	%		2.8	%

A  1% change in the discount rate while holding the other assumptions constant would decrease or increase the provision by $1,131.

The reclamation and remediation provision for Coricancha is based on the following assumptions:

	2019			2018
Total estimated cash flows	$	33,795		$	33,941
Expected settlement of obligations (years)		2020 – 2049			2019 – 2047
Weighted average risk-free rate (discount rate)		3.4	%		5.4	%

A  1% change in the discount rate would decrease or increase the provision by $1,479 while holding the other assumptions constant.

The reclamation and remediation provision for Tucano is based on the following assumptions:

	2019
Total estimated cash flows	$	19,731
Expected settlement of obligations (years)		2024 – 2029
Weighted average risk-free rate (discount rate)		6.7	%

A  1% change in the discount rate would decrease or increase the provision by $846 while holding the other assumptions constant.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of consolidation

(a)     Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All material intercompany transactions, balances, revenues, and expenses have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition or control and up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control. Control is achieved when the Company has power over the investee, is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with an investee, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Great Panther Mining Limited is the ultimate parent entity of the group. At December 31, 2019, the principal subsidiaries of the Company, their geographic locations, and the ownership interests held by the Company, were as follows:

Name	Location	Ownership	Principal Activity
Beadell Resources Pty Ltd	Australia	100%	Holding company

Basis of measurement

(b)     Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items in the statement of financial position:

- Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value;

- Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value; and

- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value.

Foreign currency translation

(c)     Foreign currency translation

These consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars which is the Canadian parent company’s presentation currency and functional currency. The functional currency of ten of the Company’s subsidiaries is also the US dollar (“USD”). The functional currency of three of the Company’s Australian subsidiaries is the Australian dollar. The functional currency of five of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries is the Brazilian real (“BRL”). The functional currency of two of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries is the Mexican peso (“MXN”).

(i)      Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in net income.

(ii)     Translation of subsidiary results into the presentation currency

The operating results and statements of financial position of the Company’s subsidiaries which have a functional currency that differs from the Company’s presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

- Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position;

- Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates, unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions; and

- All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are recognized in a separate component of equity, foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognized in net income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Cash and cash equivalents

(d)     Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and money market instruments, with maturities from the date of acquisition of 90 days or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant changes in value. Transaction costs are expensed when incurred. Cash and cash equivalents are designated as financial assets at amortized cost.

Inventories

(e)     Inventories

Inventories consist of:

- Gold bullion, gold in circuit, ore stockpiles and concentrate inventories which are stated at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Costs include production costs and amortization and depletion directly attributable to the inventory production process. Net realizable value is the expected selling price for the finished product less the costs to put the product into saleable form and delivery to the selling location.

- Materials and supplies inventory, which includes the cost of consumables used in operations are stated at the lower of weighted average cost and replacement cost which approximates net realizable value. Major spare parts and standby equipment are included in property, plant, and equipment when they are expected to be used over more than one period, if they can only be used in connection with an item of property, plant and equipment.

- Silver bullion coins and bars are recorded at lower of cost and net realizable value.

Mineral properties, plant and equipment

(f)      Mineral properties, plant and equipment

(i)      Mineral properties

Mine development costs are capitalized if management determines that there is sufficient evidence to support probability of generating positive economic returns in the future. A mineral resource is considered to have economic potential when the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extraction of the mineral resource is demonstrable considering long-term metal prices. Therefore, prior to capitalizing such costs, management determines whether the following conditions have been met: there is a probable future benefit that will contribute to future cash inflows; the Company can obtain the benefit and control access to it; and the transaction or event giving rise to the benefit has already occurred.

In the event that the Company does not have sufficient evidence to support the probability of generating positive economic returns in the future, mine development costs are expensed to profit or loss. The Company expenses mine development costs for San Ignacio. In September 2015, the Company commenced expensing mine development costs for Guanajuato when the published Measured and Indicated Resources for Guanajuato represented less than twelve months of remaining production. Mine development costs incurred at the GMC includes expenditures associated with accessing mineral resources and gaining further information regarding the ore body, whether by means of ramp development, drilling or sampling. Development costs at Coricancha are expensed to date.

Producing mineral properties acquired through business acquisitions are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Where applicable, the estimated cost of mine reclamation and remediation for the property is included in the cost of mineral properties.

(ii)     Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is originally recorded at cost at the time of construction, purchase, or acquisition, and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Cost includes all costs required to bring the plant and equipment into a condition and location where it is capable of operating according to its intended use.

Costs incurred for major overhaul of existing equipment or infrastructure are capitalized as plant and equipment and are subject to amortization once they are commissioned. Costs associated with routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

(iii)     Amortization and depletion

The Company's mineral properties in Mexico are depleted using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining life of the mine. The Company’s mineral properties at Tucano are depleted on a units of production basis over the economically recoverable reserves.

Plant and equipment directly related to the Mexico mining operations is amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated remaining life of the mine and the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. Plant and equipment directly related to the Tucano mining operations is amortized on a units of production basis over the economically recoverable reserves of the mine concerned, except in the case of assets whose useful life is shorter than the estimated remaining life of the mine, in which case the straight line method over the remaining useful life of the asset is used.

All other equipment, buildings and furniture and fixtures which do not relate directly to the mining operations are amortized over the useful life of the asset. Land is not amortized.

The following amortization rates are used by the Company for plant, equipment, buildings and furniture and fixtures which do not relate specifically to mining activities:

Computers	straight line over estimated useful life of 3 years
Furniture	straight line over estimated useful life of 5 years
Office	straight line over estimated useful life of 5 years
Software	straight line over estimated useful life of 3 years
Leasehold improvements	straight line over term of the lease

When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in profit or loss.

Exploration and evaluation assets

(g)     Exploration and evaluation assets

(i)      Exploration properties

Exploration properties represent properties for which the Company has not yet performed sufficient exploration work to determine whether significant mineralization exists. Exploration properties are carried at the cost of acquisition and included in exploration and evaluation assets. Exploration expenditures incurred on such properties are expensed as incurred as exploration expenditures in profit or loss. Examples of exploration expenditures that are expensed under this policy include topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies; exploratory drilling; trenching; and sampling. The Company considers its Coricancha, Santa Rosa, El Horcón, Plomo and Argosy projects to be in this category as at December 31, 2019, and consequently, expenses all costs associated with these projects as they are incurred.

(ii)     Evaluation properties

Evaluation properties represent properties for which the Company has identified a mineral resource of such quantity and grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. A mineral resource is considered to have reasonable prospects for economic extraction when the Company has sufficient information to determine that extraction is viable and feasible at expected long-term metal prices. Expenditures made in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are capitalized and included in exploration and evaluation assets. Evaluation expenditures include the costs of drilling, sampling and other costs related to defining and delineating the mineral deposit.

When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources associated with the Company’s evaluation properties are demonstrable and management has made a decision to proceed with development, the capitalized costs associated with evaluation assets are reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets to mineral properties. They are tested for impairment at that time.

(iii)    Amortization and depletion

Exploration and evaluation assets are not subject to depletion or amortization, but rather are tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Leased assets

(h)     Leased assets

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting standard IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”), which replaced IAS 17 Leases (“IAS 17”). The Company’s accounting policy for leases upon adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 is outlined in 3(r) below.

Impairment of non-financial assets

(i)      Impairment of non-financial assets

Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the Company performs an impairment test by comparing the recoverable amount to the carrying amount of the relevant exploration and evaluation property. When the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount of the relevant exploration and evaluation property, an impairment charge is recorded and the property is written down to its recoverable amount. In addition, exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment at the date they are transferred to mineral properties, plant and equipment.

The Company’s mineral properties, plant and equipment are reviewed for any indication of impairment at each financial reporting date or at any time if an indicator of impairment is considered to exist. If any such indicators exist, an estimate of the recoverable amount is undertaken, being the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and the asset’s value in use. If the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount then an impairment loss is recognized in net income or loss for the period, and the carrying value of the asset on the statement of financial position is reduced to its recoverable amount. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Fair value of mineral properties is generally determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset, including any expansion prospects, discounted by an appropriate pre-tax discount rate to arrive at a net present value.

Value in use is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and from its ultimate disposal. Value in use is determined by applying assumptions specific to the Company’s continued use which includes future development. As such, these assumptions may differ from those used in calculating fair value.

In testing for indicators of impairment and performing impairment calculations, assets are grouped into cash-generating units, which are identified as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. The estimates of future discounted cash flows are subject to risks and uncertainties including estimated production, grades, recoveries, future metals prices, discount rates, exchange rates and operating costs.

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that have suffered an impairment are evaluated for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed. When a reversal of a previous impairment is recorded, the reversal amount is adjusted for depreciation that would have been recorded had the impairment not been recorded.

Share-based compensation

(j)      Share-based compensation

Equity-settled share-based compensation arrangements such as the Company’s stock option plan, restricted share unit plan, and deferred share unit plan are measured at fair value at the date of grant and recorded within equity. The fair value at grant date of all share-based compensation is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to shareholders’ equity. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect share options forfeited. The Company estimates the fair value of share options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Revenue recognition

(k)     Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of precious metals, consisting of metal concentrates and refined gold, when the customer obtains control.

For the metal concentrates sales, the customer obtains control upon delivery at the customer’s designated warehouse. The amount of revenue recorded upon initial recognition is based on the forward metal prices at that time and the estimated metal content. The payment terms are based on the individual customer contracts. For provisional payments, terms are typically 15 days from the date of provisional invoice, and for final payments, terms are typically 5 business days after the final weights, assays and prices are known and invoiced. Adjustments related to changes in metal prices and metal content up to the final settlement are recorded in revenue.

For the refined gold, the customer obtains control when the refined gold has been physically delivered, which is also the date when title has passed to the buyer and the Company has issued an invoice pursuant to a transaction confirmation that fixes the quantity and price of the gold for each delivery. The amount of revenue recorded upon delivery is based on this transaction confirmation. The Company has no significant continuing involvement after delivery and no adjustments to revenue are made subsequent to initial recognition.

Reclamation and remediation provisions

Reclamation and remediation provisions

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Company recognizes the cost of future reclamation and remediation as a liability when: the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and a reasonable estimate of the obligation can be made. The liability is measured initially by discounting expected costs to the net present value using pre-tax rates and risk assumptions specific to the liability. The resulting cost is capitalized to the carrying value of the related assets or expensed to profit or loss where there is no carrying value of the related assets, or where the cost is not recoverable. In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for accretion of the discount with the offsetting amount charged to the statement of comprehensive income as finance cost. Any change in the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows is adjusted to the carrying value of the liability, with the offsetting amount recorded as an adjustment to the reclamation and remediation provision cost included in mineral properties or exploration, evaluation and development expenses. Any amount charged to the carrying value of assets is depreciated over the remaining life of the relevant assets.

It is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost of remediation and reclamation could change in the future due to uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental disturbance, the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities, changes in remediation technology and changes in discount rates. The Company reviews its reclamation and remediation provision at least annually and as evidence becomes available indicating that its expected reclamation and remediation costs may have changed. Any such changes in costs could materially impact the future amounts recorded as reclamation and remediation provision.

Financial instruments

(m)    Financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, marketable securities, trade and other receivables, loan receivable, restricted cash, trade and other payables, as well as derivative instruments.

(i)      Classification

The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), or fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVOCI”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial liability is classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

- it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

- it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

An equity investment that is held for trading is measured at FVTPL. For other equity investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to designate them as FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has elected to measure them at FVTPL.

(ii)     Measurement

Initial measurement

On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets and liabilities classified as FVTPL, in which case the transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Subsequent measurement

The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial instruments:

Financial assets at FVTPL	These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost	These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVOCI	These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI	These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Impairment of financial instruments

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, and debt investments at FVOCI, the Company applies the expected credit loss model. On adoption of the expected credit loss model there was no material adjustment.

Income taxes

(n)     Income taxes

Income tax is recognized in net income or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized directly in equity.

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (temporary differences), and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in net income in the period in which the change is substantively enacted. The amount of deferred tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is, in management’s estimation, probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset (i) when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, (ii) when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority, and (iii) the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Earnings per share

(o)     Earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Company follows the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Under this method, dilution is calculated based upon the net number of common shares issued should “in-the-money” options and warrants be exercised and the proceeds be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Dilution from convertible securities is calculated based on the number of shares to be issued after taking into account the reduction of the related after-tax interest expense.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from restricted and deferred stock units and the assumed exercise of share options and warrants, if dilutive.

Segment reporting

(p)     Segment reporting

The Company has identified operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Executive Officer and the executive management team (the chief operating decision maker – “CODM”) in assessing performance and in determining allocation of resources. The CODM considers the business from both a geographic and product perspective and assesses the performance of the operating segments based on measures such as net property, plant and equipment, as well as operating results. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company’s senior management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company has determined operating segments based on this information.

Segment results that are reported to senior management include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items are comprised mainly of corporate office expenses.

Deferred stripping

(q)     Deferred stripping

The Company defers certain related stripping costs during the production phase of its Tucano surface mine operation to future periods. Stripping costs that generate a benefit of improved access to future components of an ore body and meet the definition of an asset are recognized as stripping activity assets. Stripping activity assets are depreciated on a units of production basis over the useful life of the identifiable component of the ore body that becomes more accessible as a result of the stripping activity. Stripping activity assets form part of mineral properties, plant and equipment.

Accounting standards issued and adopted

(r)      Accounting standards issued and adopted

IFRS 16, Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, which replaced IAS 17 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees: leases of low-value assets; and short-term leases. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, at the commencement date, a lessee recognizes a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. Lessees are required to separately recognize the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. IFRS 16 also requires lessees to make more extensive disclosures than under IAS 17.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the cumulative impact of adoption is recognized as at January 1, 2019, and the comparatives are not restated. The comparatives remain as previously reported under IAS 17 and related interpretations.

Accounting Policy on Leases

The Company’s accounting policy effective January 1, 2019 upon adoption of IFRS 16 is as follows:

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease.  A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.  To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

-The contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset.  If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

-The Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

-The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.  The Company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used.

This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after January 1, 2019.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.  The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. 

The right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits.  The right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.  Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets.  The lease payments associated with these leases is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Impact of transition to IFRS 16

On initial application, the Company has elected to record right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability.  Right-of-use assets of $1,150 and lease obligations of $1,227 were recorded as of January 1, 2019, and deferred rent liability of $77 was derecognized, with no net impact on retained earnings.  When measuring lease liabilities, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019.  The weighted-average rate applied was 6.2%.  

The following table reconciles the Company’s operating lease obligations at December 31, 2018, as previously disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, to the lease obligations recognized on initial application of IFRS 16 at January 1, 2019.

Operating lease commitments at December 31, 2018	$	1,383
Excluded from lease commitments due to cancellation clauses		70
Recognition exemption for low-value assets		(11)
		1,442
Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019		(215)
Lease obligations recognized at January 1, 2019	$	1,227

IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

Effective January 1, 2019, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) issued IFRIC 23 that sets out how to determine the accounting tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.  As at January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard and there was no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted

(s)     Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amendments are intended to assist entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition.  The amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 2020 and apply prospectively.  Earlier application is permitted.  The Company currently does not believe the amendments will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

(a)     MACA Limited

Prior to the Acquisition, Beadell had an outstanding loan in the amount of $38,822  (A$54,700) due to MACA.  Under its original terms, the loan was to become due and payable on a change of control of Beadell, absent MACA’s consent to the change of control.  One of the key closing conditions of the Acquisition was the negotiation of a modification on MACA’s outstanding loan due from Beadell on terms satisfactory to the Company.  The Company reached an agreement with MACA on November 19, 2018 on the modifications of the loan.  Under the agreement, MACA agreed to consent to the change of control, keep the loan in place with a term to June 2022 and make the following amendments effective from the date of the Acquisition:

(All dollar amounts in millions of A$)		Original Loan			As Amended
Principal Amount	A$	54.7		A$	54.7
% of the net cash proceeds from any third-party debt or equity financing required to be paid to MACA and applied against the outstanding balance of the loan		30	%		10	%
% of the net proceeds from any exercise of warrants required to be paid to MACA and applied against the outstanding balance of the loan		30	%		20	%
Principal repayment of loan during 2019	A$	12.0		A$	16.5
Ultimate parent guarantee		Full balance			First A$6.0 of repayments
Principal repayment of Loan during 2020	A$	18.0		A$	18.0
Conversion right		100% of Loan	(1)	A$	15.0	(2)

(1) Conversion subject to shareholder approval.

(2) MACA's conversion right under the amended terms provides for a limit of A$5.0 million in each quarter following the date of the Acquisition at a 5% discount to the 20-day volume weighted average price.  Any principal amount of the loan which is converted to Great Panther shares will reduce the outstanding balance of the loan, with 50% to be applied to reduce the remaining monthly payments on a pro-rata basis with the exception of the A$6.0 million guaranteed payments.

Interest is payable on the MACA loan at the Reserve Bank of Australia reserve rate plus 5% per annum.  To December 31, 2019, MACA exercised, in full, its conversion rights on $10,524  (A$15,000) of its loan, converting this amount into 14,077,806 common shares of the Company.  The Company also made cash repayments to MACA totaling $12,005  (A$17,343) from the date of the Acquisition to December 31, 2019, including $1,619  (A$2,385) which represented 10% of the net cash proceeds from the bought deal financing (note 15(f)) required to be paid to MACA and applied against the outstanding balance of the loan under the amended loan agreement.  Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the Company made monthly principal repayments to MACA totaling $2,513  (A$3,714), and an additional $1,000 repayment which represented 10% of the net cash proceeds from the IXM Group Promissory Note (note 12(f)) required to be repaid to MACA and applied against the outstanding balance of the loan under the amended loan agreement (note 26(c)).  The Company must make monthly principal repayments of A$1,238 until the loan is repaid. As the Company has completed the first A$6,000 of repayments, the loan is no longer subject to a guarantee by Great Panther Mining Limited and is not secured by any assets of the Company.

(b)     Convertible Debentures (“Convertible Debentures”)

Prior to the Acquisition, Beadell had Convertible Debentures of $10,000 outstanding, maturing on June 30, 2023.  As defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Debentures (“Debenture Indenture”), upon the occurrence of a change of control, Beadell was required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Purchase Offer”) to purchase all Convertible Debentures at a price per Convertible Debenture equal to 105% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. 

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company assumed the obligations of Beadell under the Debenture Indenture, including funding the Change of Control Purchase Offer.

On April 3, 2019, all holders of the Convertible Debentures accepted the Company’s Change of Control Purchase Offer and the Company repurchased all of the Convertible Debentures for an aggregate price of $10,500  ($10,000 principal and $500 change of control premium), plus accrued interest of $155.

(c)      Santander – Itaú Facility

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company assumed Beadell’s credit facility with Santander – Itaú which was interest bearing at a fixed interest rate of 5.9% per annum and fully secured by a charge over the Tucano mining concession.  In June 2019, the Company repaid the facility in full (principal of $5,000 plus accrued interest).

(d)      Unsecured bank facilities

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company assumed Beadell’s unsecured, revolving, interest-bearing bank facilities totaling $15,000, the maximum amount available under these facilities, plus accrued interest of $29.  In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company obtained an additional $1,500 of bank facilities, and received net proceeds of $900 during the year ended December 31, 2019.  The unsecured bank facilities are interest bearing at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 5.3% per annum and are repayable from January 2020 to December 2020.  These facilities have a history of being rolled over and it is the expectation of the Company that this continues. 

(e)     Bank overdraft

The Company has a bank overdraft with a maximum amount of $744 (BRL 3,000) of which $589 (BRL 2,370) was drawn as at December 31, 2019.  This overdraft account is interest bearing at a fixed rate of 1.00% per month, payable monthly.

(f)     IXM Group Promissory Note

On December 27, 2019, Minera Mexicana El Rosario, S.A. de C.V. (“MMR”), the Mexican operating subsidiary of Great Panther, received a loan and issued a promissory note (“Promissory Note”) in the amount of $10,000 to IXM S.A. (“IXM”).  The Promissory Note matures on December 31, 2020 and bears interest at an annual rate of 3-month USD LIBOR plus 5%, accruing daily.  Any loan principal and accrued interest not previously repaid are repayable on December 31, 2020.  The Promissory Note is supported by a guarantee from Great Panther.  Under the terms of the Promissory Note, Great Panther is required to comply with the following financial covenants:

- Consolidated cash and cash equivalents of not less than $10,000 on a quarterly basis as at the balance sheet date;

- Consolidated net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of not more than 2 to 1, as measured on a quarterly basis as at the balance sheet date for the trailing 12 months period then ended; and

- Consolidated total debt to total assets ratio of not more than 0.5 to 1, as measured on a quarterly basis as at the balance sheet date.

Great Panther was in compliance with all of these covenants as at December 31, 2019.

MMR also entered into an offtake agreement dated December 27, 2019 (the “Offtake Agreement”) for the sale of silver-gold concentrate produced at the GMC to Compromin S.A. de C.V. (“Compromin”), IXM’s subsidiary.  As stated in the Offtake Agreement, IXM, at its sole discretion, may set off any payment obligation under the Offtake Agreement against any amount outstanding under the Promissory Note.  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Promissory Note), the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Note with any accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable to IXM’s subsidiary become immediately due and payable.

(a)      Changes in estimate

(i) Updated mineral resource estimate for 2019

On January 29, 2019, the Company provided an update on the Mineral Resource for Topia, effective July 31, 2018, following which management reviewed the remaining useful life of Topia.  The estimate of the useful life of Topia was determined to be 5.3 years (a decrease from the previous estimate of 7.8 years) as at October 1, 2018.  As a result, the depreciation recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $230 more than would have been recorded prior to the change in estimate.

(ii) Updated mineral resource estimate for 2020

On March 9, 2020, the Company provided an update on the Mineral Resource for the GMC, with effective dates of October 31, 2019 and July 31, 2019 for the Guanajuato Mine and San Ignacio, respectively.  Management reviewed the remaining useful life of the GMC and determined that it remains at 2.0 years as at December 31, 2019, unchanged from the previous estimate.

On March 9, 2020, the Company provided an update on the Mineral Resource for Tucano, with an effective date of September 30, 2019, following which management reviewed the remaining useful life of Tucano.  The estimate of the useful life of Tucano was determined to be 2.3 years as at October 1, 2019.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Dec. 31, 2019

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

4.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Estimates are based on historical experience and other factors considered to be reasonable and are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.

The Company has identified the following areas where significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are made and where actual results may differ from the estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results of the Company reported in future periods.

(a) Resource estimation

The accuracy of resource estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and assumptions made and judgments used in the geological and engineering interpretation and may be subject to revision based on various factors. Changes in resource estimates may impact the carrying value of mineral property, plant and equipment, the calculation of amortization and depletion, the capitalization of mine development costs, and the timing of cash flows related to reclamation and remediation provision.

(b) Useful lives of mineral properties, plant and equipment

The Company estimates the remaining life of its producing mineral properties on an annual basis using a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors including historical results, mineral resource estimates, and management’s intent to operate the property. The estimated remaining life of the producing mineral property is used to calculate amortization and depletion expense, assess impairment charges and the carrying values of assets, and for forecasting the timing of the payment of reclamation and remediation costs.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of the remaining lives of the producing mineral properties, and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, or production costs may change the economic status of the resources, estimates of production from areas not included in the National Instrument 43‑101 (“NI 43‑101”) reports, and management’s intent to operate the property, and may ultimately have a material impact on the estimated remaining lives of the properties.

(c) Reclamation and remediation provision

The amounts recorded for reclamation and remediation provisions are based on estimates prepared by third party environmental specialists, if available, or by persons within the Company who have the relevant skills and experience. These estimates are based on remediation activities required by environmental laws, the expected timing of cash flows, and the pre-tax risk-free interest rates on which the estimated cash flows have been discounted. These estimates also include an assumption of the rate at which costs may inflate in future periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The estimates require extensive judgment about the nature, cost and timing of the work to be completed, and may change with future changes to costs, environmental laws and regulations and remediation practices.

(d) Review of asset carrying values and assessment of impairment

The Company reviews each asset or cash generating unit at each reporting date to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any such indication exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

The determination of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use requires management to make estimates and assumptions about expected production and sales volumes, metal prices, ore tonnage and grades, recoveries, operating costs, reclamation and remediation costs, future capital expenditures and appropriate discount rates for future cash flows. The estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, and as such there is the possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further impaired or the impairment charge reduced with the impact recorded in profit or loss.

(e) Revenue from sale of precious metals

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of precious metals, consisting of metal concentrates and refined gold, when the customer obtains control, which occurs upon delivery. The determination of the point in time in which the Company transfers control of the precious metal to the customers for revenue recognition requires significant judgment.

(f) Income taxes and recoverability of deferred tax assets

In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets, the Company makes estimates related to expected future taxable income, potential tax planning opportunities, estimated timing of reversals of temporary differences, and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur which may materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company’s ability to realize the benefits from deferred tax assets.

(g) Determination of functional currencies

The determination of an entity’s functional currency is a matter of judgment based on an assessment of the specific facts and circumstances relevant to determining the primary economic environment of each individual entity within the group. The Company reconsiders the functional currencies used when there is a change in events or conditions considered in determining the primary economic environment of each entity.

(h) Lessee accounting

The determination of whether a contract contains a lease under IFRS 16 is a matter of judgment based on the assessment of the specific terms and conditions in the contract.

(i) Purchase price accounting

Significant judgments were made by management on the purchase price accounting in arriving at estimated acquisition date fair values for the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Acquisition of Beadell.

(j) Contingencies

Significant judgments were made by management in the determinations of the likelihood of loss for provisions and contingent liabilities related to the litigation and matters assumed upon the Acquisition (note 5) and acquisition of Coricancha (note 21(b)(iv)).

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Dec. 31, 2019

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

20.    FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.

The Company is exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risks such as currency risk, interest rate risk, and commodity price risk.

(a)     Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposures to credit risk arise from cash and short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, and loan receivable. Lesser exposures arise from holdings of marketable securities, and from other receivables.

The risk is assessed by performing an aging analysis of trade receivables, and through the review of credit ratings of the counterparties with which the Company does business.

The Company manages such credit risks by diversifying bank deposits, and placing funds only in large Canadian, Brazilian and Mexican financial institutions. The Company’s investments are subject to internal investment guidelines and they mature at various dates but rarely in excess of one year.

All of the Company’s precious metal sales are to large international metals trading companies and/or smelters that have been in business for many years. For sale of metal concentrates, the Company typically receives provisional payments, within days after delivery, of up to 95% of the value of each shipment.  For sale of refined gold, the Company typically receives payment in full on the day of delivery.  The Company historically has not had difficulty collecting receivables from its customers, nor have customers defaulted on any payments.

There is no trade receivable related to the refined gold sales as at December 31, 2019.  The aging of trade receivables from metal concentrate sales is as follows:

	December 31,		December 31,
	2019		2018
0 to 30 days	$	4,121	$	2,572
31 to 60 days		389		455
61 to 90 days		150		(99)
over 90 days		(55)		11
	$	4,605	$	2,939

There has been no notable change in the Company’s approach to credit risk management since the prior year.

(b)     Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.  The Company's exposure to liquidity risk arises from its trade and other payables.  The Company regularly prepares rolling cash flows to identify and assess such liquidity risks.

The Company manages liquidity risk by preparing annual budgets for approval by the Board and preparing cash flow and liquidity forecasts on a quarterly basis.

The Company assumed $69,473 of borrowings upon the Acquisition, $54,748 of which was classified as current.  Accordingly, there has been a notable change in the Company's approach to liquidity risk management since the prior year.  Since the Acquisition, the Company has been actively assessing and monitoring its cash balance to meet its business objectives and its debt obligations in the next twelve months.  The Company has obtained both equity and debt financing to ensure there are funds available to fulfill these needs (note 1).  The Company has also been deferring certain discretionary spending and undertaking cost reduction measures in order to minimize cash outflow requirements anticipated under the current business plan.

(c)     Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that foreign exchange rates will fluctuate significantly from expectations.  The Company's exposure to currency risk arises from its operations in Canada, Brazil, Mexico and Peru, where payments to vendors and employees are often in local currency, yet substantially all of the Company's revenues are realized in USD.  Further, the Company holds a portion of its cash in currencies other than USD.

To manage this risk, the Company holds as small of an amount as practical in foreign currencies.  To mitigate the Company’s exposure to changes in the exchange rates of BRL and MXN against USD, the Company may and has entered into forward currency contracts as it deems prudent.  There are limits on the extent of such contracts, in excess of which Board approval is required.

For financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies as at December 31, 2019, a 10% change in the prevailing exchange rates as at December 31, 2019, with all other variables held constant, would have the following impact on the Company’s earnings:

	Canadian		Brazilian		Australian		Mexican		Peruvian
Change in net income arising from:	dollars		real		dollars		pesos		soles
10% appreciation of the USD against the currency	$	81	$	(8,275)	$	1,709	$	(390)	$	245
10% depreciation of the USD against the currency	$	(81)	$	8,275	$	(1,709)	$	390	$	(245)

The closing exchange rates for December 31, 2019 of BRL/USD of 4.031 (2018: not applicable), MXN/USD of 18.876 (2018: 19.657), AUD/USD of 1.423 (2018: not applicable), PEN/USD of 3.319 (2018: 3.370), and CAD/USD of 1.299 (2018: 1.365) were used in the above analysis.

(d)     Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the possibility that change in market interest rates will affect future cash flows. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and borrowings. The Company’s approach is to invest cash in savings accounts and guaranteed investment certificates at fixed and floating rates of interest over varying maturities. The Company manages this risk by monitoring changes in interest rates and by maintaining a relatively short duration for the Company's portfolio of cash equivalent securities. Many of these instruments can be immediately redeemed and those of a fixed term do not exceed one year. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable interest rate borrowings, specifically the MACA loan (note 12(a)) and the IXM Promissory Note (note 12(f)).  Additionally, the unsecured bank facilities (note 12(d)) are expected to roll over as they become due and are therefore subject to interest rate changes.

There has been no notable change in the Company’s approach to interest rate risk management since the prior year.

For interest-bearing financial instruments as at December 31, 2019, an increase or decrease in interest rate of 1% applied would increase or decrease net income and comprehensive income by $126.

(e)     Commodity price risk

The Company is subject to risk from fluctuations in the market prices of gold, silver, lead and zinc. Such fluctuations directly affect the Company’s reported revenues.

The profitability of the Company’s operations is highly correlated to the market prices of these metals, as is the ability of the Company to develop its mineral properties and exploration and evaluation assets. The value of trade receivables at the reporting date also depends on changes in metal prices until finalization of sales prices per the contractual quotational period.

If metal prices decline for a prolonged period below the cost of production of the Company’s mines, it may not be economically feasible to continue production.

The Company has a stated policy that it will not engage in long-term hedging of gold and silver prices.

There was no notable change in the Company’s approach to commodity price risk management since the prior year until December 31, 2019.  However, subsequent to December 31, 2019, to manage the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the gold price, the Company purchased financial gold put options (note 26(b)).

For provisionally priced trade receivables, a 10% change in the prevailing commodity prices as at December 31, 2019, with all other variables held constant, would have the following impact on the Company’s earnings:

	10% change		10% change		10% change		10% change
	in gold		in silver		in lead		in zinc
Change in net income	$	402	$	641	$	82	$	186

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

1.       NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Great Panther Mining Limited (the “Company” or “Great Panther”) is a public company which is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) trading under the symbol GPR, and on the NYSE American trading under the symbol GPL and is incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The Company’s registered and records office is located at 1330 – 200 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC.

On March 5, 2019, the Company changed its name from Great Panther Silver Limited to Great Panther Mining Limited following the completion of the acquisition of Beadell Resources Limited (“Beadell”) (the “Acquisition”), a gold mining company that was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and operated the wholly-owned Tucano Gold Mine (“Tucano”) in Amapá state, northern Brazil (note 5).

The Company has two wholly-owned mining operations in Mexico: the Topia Mine (“Topia”), and the Guanajuato Mine Complex (“the GMC”) which comprises the Company’s Guanajuato Mine, the San Ignacio Mine (“San Ignacio”), and the Cata processing plant. Topia is located in the Sierra Madre Mountains in the state of Durango in northwestern Mexico, and produces concentrates containing silver, gold, lead and zinc. The GMC produces silver and gold concentrate and is located in central Mexico.

The Company also wholly-owns the Coricancha Mine Complex (“Coricancha”), a gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc mine and 600 tonnes per day processing facility, located in the central Andes of Peru, approximately 90 kilometres east of Lima. Coricancha was acquired by the Company in June 2017, having been placed on care and maintenance by its previous owner in August 2013. The Company filed a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment on Coricancha in May 2018, and in July 2018 commenced a trial stope and bulk sample program (the “BSP”) in order to further de-risk the project. The BSP was completed in June 2019, and the Company is currently running an ore processing campaign utilizing approximately 25,000 tonnes of old ore stockpiles.

The Company also owns several exploration properties: El Horcón, Santa Rosa, and Plomo in Mexico; and Argosy in Canada. The El Horcón property is located 100 kilometres by road northwest of Guanajuato, Santa Rosa is located 15 kilometres northeast of Guanajuato, and the Plomo property is located in Sonora, Mexico. The Argosy property is located in the Red Lake Mining District in northwestern Ontario, Canada.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Based on the projected operating cash flows and anticipated capital expenditures after the acquisition of Beadell, the Company obtained equity and debt financing during the year ended December 31, 2019. On July 9, 2019, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co. and Eight Capital (the “ATM Agreement”) under which it can sell common shares equal to the lesser of i) 10% of the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common shares as at the last trading day of the month before the month in which the first trade under the offering is made, and ii) aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000 (the “ATM Facility”). On August 8, 2019, the Company completed a bought deal financing, for aggregate gross proceeds of $17,250, pursuant to which the Company issued 23,000,000 common shares of the Company at the price of $0.75 per share. The Company paid a cash commission to the underwriters equal to 5% of the gross proceeds of the financing and recognized net proceeds of $15,939 after deducting share issuance costs. On December 27, 2019, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Minera Mexicana el Rosario, S.A. de C.V., was loaned and received $10,000 upon entering into a $10,000 promissory note agreement with the IXM Group (“IXM”), a metal trader (note 12(f)). Additionally, on January 6, 2020, the Company entered into a $11,250 loan and gold doré prepayment agreement with Samsung C&T U.K. Ltd. (“Samsung”) (note 26) which includes the requirement to deliver and sell approximately 3,000 ounces of gold contained in doré per month over a two-year period from Tucano to Samsung. Samsung advanced the $11,250 prepayment to Great Panther on February 4, 2020.

As disclosed above and in note 5, the Company acquired Beadell on March 5, 2019 (the “Acquisition Date”). On acquisition, the Company assumed $69,473 of borrowings, of which $54,748 was classified as current liabilities. Between the Acquisition Date and December 31, 2019, the Company repaid $22,529  ($32,343 Australian dollars (“A$”)) on the loan payable to MACA Limited (“MACA”), $10,524  (A$15,000) of which was settled via the issuance of 14,077,806 common shares of the Company (note 12 (a)). The Company also repaid the convertible debentures for $10,500 in cash (note 12 (b)), and the Santander - Itaú Facility in full for $5,000 in principal plus accrued interest (note 12 (c)). The Company had net new borrowings of $900 of the unsecured bank facilities (note 12(d)). Between January 1, 2020 and the date hereof, the company has repaid, in cash, a further $2,513  (A$3,714) of monthly repayments to MACA, and an additional $1,000 subsequent repayment which represented 10% of the net cash proceeds from the IXM Group Promissory Note (note 12(f)) required to be repaid to MACA and applied against the outstanding balance of the loan under the amended loan agreement (note 26(c)).

The Company has been deferring certain discretionary spending and undertaking cost reduction measures in order to minimize cash outflow requirements anticipated under the current business plan. In particular, this includes the date of the expected restart of Coricancha. The Company expects to generate positive cash flow from its mining operations in 2020.  Based on the Company’s asset base and liquidity at the date of these consolidated financial statements and the funds it expects to generate from operations and financing activities, inclusive of the Samsung loan and the ATM Facility, the Company expects it will have adequate resources to meet scheduled debt repayment obligations over the next twelve months to January 1, 2021. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the longer term is dependent on successful execution of its business plan including extending the life of its mines and ultimately generating net income and positive cash flow from mining operations.

The Company has been closely monitoring the effects of the spread of the coronavirus respiratory disease (“COVID-19”) with a focus on the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and its head office location in Canada.

The rapid worldwide spread of COVID-19 is prompting governments to incrementally implement restrictive measures in an attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19. During this period of uncertainty, Great Panther’s priority is to safeguard the health and safety of personnel and host communities, support and enforce government actions to slow the spread of COVID-19, and to continually assess and mitigate the risks to the business operations.

The Company has implemented a COVID-19 response plan that includes a number of measures to safeguard against the spread of the virus at its offices and sites and is also maintaining regular communications with legal and government representatives, suppliers, customers and business partners to monitor any potential risks to its ongoing operations.  Broader government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 have not impacted the Company’s operating mines in Mexico and Brazil to date and there are no confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 across the Company’s corporate offices and operations. In accordance with Peru government-mandated restrictions in response to COVID-19, Coricancha, which has been on care and maintenance with some limited mining operations, will conduct exclusively care and maintenance activities to sustain the appropriate safety and environmental systems during the National State of Emergency currently in effect until April 12, 2020 announced on March 26, 2020.

Although there have not been any impacts to the Company’s operations to date, the Company cannot provide assurance that there will not be disruptions to its operations in the future. If the Company’s operations are impacted or expected to be impacted, the Company will seek measures to preserve cash including suspension of discretionary spending and other legal means to reduce and minimize contractual spending.

Pursuant to the acquisition of Coricancha on June 30, 2017, Nyrstar agreed to maintain a remediation bond in the amount of $9,737 for Coricancha until at least June 30, 2020. Should the Company make a decision to permanently close Coricancha prior to June 30, 2020, the bond will be used to pay for remediation costs and obligations. If the Company has not made a decision to permanently close Coricancha by June 30, 2020, the Company will assume the obligation to maintain the required bond, and shall release Nyrstar from this bond obligation.

(b)     Contingencies

(i)      THE GMC

Tailings storage

In February 2016, the Mexican national water authority, Comisión Nacional del Agua ("CONAGUA"), required that the Company make formal applications for permits associated with the occupation and construction of the tailings storage facility ("TSF") at the GMC. The Company filed its applications, and the authorities conducted an inspection of the TSF and requested further technical information, which the Company submitted in December 2017. CONAGUA responded in February 2019 requesting additional technical information. The Company is currently reviewing the request and will provide its response in due course.

Additional water use permits

Since the February 2016 correspondence with CONAGUA, the Company has also determined through its own undertakings, that additional CONAGUA permits may be needed in connection with water discharge and water use at the GMC’s TSF. The Company is assessing technical options and is confirming if additional water use permits are required. The Company believes that it will be able to address or mitigate the need for any necessary water discharge and use permits without any impact to its operations but cannot provide complete assurance that there is no risk in this regard. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company received the authorization to legally discharge wastewater from San Ignacio.

Amendment to Environmental Impact Statement related to expansion of existing tailings dam

In July 2017, the Company submitted to the Mexican environmental permitting authority, Secretaría del Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales ("SEMARNAT"), an amendment to the Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) requesting an expansion of the existing tailings dam, and subsequently provided further information to the SEMARNAT as requested. This is under review by the regulator, and if approved, will satisfy a requirement by CONAGUA for the processing of permits noted above.

The Company believes its current tailings footprint can be maintained and can support operations at the GMC until at least 2021. Based on its meetings and other communication with CONAGUA, the Company believes that it will be able to obtain all the above noted permits, with no suspension of operations at the GMC. However, the Company cannot assure that the tailings permits will be obtained or renewed on reasonable terms, or at all. Delays or a failure to obtain such required permits, or the issuance of permits on unfavourable terms or the expiry, revocation or failure by the Company to comply with the terms of any such permits, if obtained, could limit the ability of the Company to expand the tailings facility and could adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue operating at the GMC. In either case, the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected.

(ii)     Topia

Reviews by the regulatory authorities dating back to 2015, coupled with permitting work undertaken by the Company in connection with the expansion of the Topia TSF, have led to a broader review by the Mexican environmental compliance authority, the Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente ("PROFEPA"), and by the Company of all of Topia operations’ permitting status and environmental compliance (including the historical tailings dating back to periods prior to Great Panther's ownership) and a clarification of land titles. Devised as a cooperative management strategy, Topia has been accepted into a voluntary environmental audit program supported by PROFEPA. The audit commenced during the second quarter of 2017. The Company is working on a compliance program authorized by PROFEPA to address the audit findings and has until January 2021 to complete this after being approved for an extension request from the previous deadline of January 2020. This compliance program includes remediation and technical reviews as defined by the audit. Progress updates will be submitted to PROFEPA for further review. The Company anticipates that it will be able to achieve full compliance; however, the Company cannot provide complete assurance that upon completion of the compliance program further reviews will not lead to future suspensions of operations.

Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the Company announced that it had temporarily ceased dry tailings deposition at its Topia Phase II TSF following receipt of a report from the independent tailings management and geotechnical consultants engaged by the Company to evaluate the TSF.  The March 9, 2020 disclosure anticipated that mining and processing activities at Topia might cease by the end of March 2020 but these activities are now expected to continue uninterrupted at current levels until at least the end of April 2020 by way of storing dry tailings at and near the filtration plant.  Filtration of tailings for dry stacking at Topia commenced in 2017.

The Company is continuing discussions with geotechnical and tailings management consultants regarding ongoing observations and assessments, while continuing to monitor conditions at the TSF.  Alternatives to minimize any potential cessation of processing activities in 2020 are being evaluated, including re-commencement of tailings deposition at the Phase II TSF (if satisfactory mitigation measures can be achieved), and normal course permitting for the Phase III TSF, which is already at an advanced state.  While the Company cannot be certain of the timeline to permit the Phase III TSF, it expects it can obtain the necessary permit within the next three to six months.

If one of the aforementioned alternatives is not in place by the end of April 2020, mill processing activities will temporarily cease until either Phase III is permitted or suitable mitigation of Phase II can be achieved.  The Company is also evaluating the continuation of mining and stockpiling of ore if a temporary cessation of mill processing activities were to occur.

(iii)     Coricancha

Coricancha has been on care and maintenance since August 2013 and was operated by a number of previous companies before that date. It is subject to oversight by the Organismo de Evaluación y Fiscalización Ambiental ("OEFA"), the Peruvian public agency responsible for environmental assessment and inspection, and by the Organismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Energía y Minería ("OSINERGMIN"), which is the Peruvian regulatory body with oversight responsibility over energy and mining companies.

Fines and sanctions

Nyrstar has agreed to reimburse the Company for all fines or sanctions that resulted from activities or ownership of Coricancha prior to June 30, 2017, up to a maximum of $4,000. Accordingly, a reimbursement right in the amount of $1,522 (note 10) has been recorded in respect of the following fines or sanctions:

- $1,345 for fines and sanctions which may be levied by OSINERGMIN. In addition, there are open administrative and judicial proceedings by OSINERGMIN, the outcomes of which are not yet readily determinable.

- $177 for fines and sanctions to be levied by OEFA. In addition, there are open administrative and judicial proceedings by OEFA, the outcomes of which are not yet readily determinable.

The Company has accrued for and recorded a further reimbursement right of $396 (note 10) for certain civil lawsuits filed by individuals and former suppliers.

Legacy tailings facilities

The Company has undertaken the reclamation of certain legacy tailings facilities at Coricancha under a remediation plan approved by the Ministry of Energy and Mines (the “MEM”), the relevant regulatory body. In addition, as part of the purchase of Coricancha completed in June 2017, the Company has an agreement with Nyrstar for the reimbursement of the cost of these reclamation activities. The Company is seeking approval of a modification to a remediation plan from MEM in accordance with the recommendations of an independent consultant to preserve the stability of nearby areas. The Company has changed the scheduling of the reclamation work, pending a decision from the MEM regarding the proposal to modify the approved remediation plan. Concurrently, the Company has undertaken various legal measures to protect itself from any pending or future fines, penalties, regulatory action or charges from government authorities which may be initiated as a result of the change in timing of reclamation under the proposed plan. Although the Company has all necessary permits to restart Coricancha, if this matter is not resolved favourably, it may impact the Company’s stated plans and objectives for Coricancha.

(iv)    Tucano

Various claims related to Brazil indirect taxes and labour matters

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company has various litigation claims for a number of governmental assessments related to indirect taxes, and labour disputes associated with former employees and contract labor in Brazil.

The indirect tax matter principally relates to claims for the state sales tax, Imposto Sobre Operações Relativas à Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços de Transporte Interestadual de Intermunicipal e de Comunicações (“ICMS”), which are mostly related to rate differences.  For these claims, the possibility of loss was not considered probable by the Company’s attorneys, and no provision has been recognized. 

The labour matters principally relate to claims made by former employees and contract labour for the equivalent payment of all social security and other related labour benefits, as well as consequential tax claims, as if they were regular employees.  As of December 31, 2019, the items for which a loss was probable related to the labor disputes, inclusive of any related interest, amounted to approximately $3,009, for which a provision was recognized.

In connection with the above proceedings, a total of $1,243 of escrow cash deposits were made as at December 31, 2019 (note 6), of which $854 were related to labour matters.  Generally, any escrowed amounts would be refundable to the extent the matters are resolved in the Company’s favour.   

Environmental damages - William Creek

In May 2009, The State of Amapá Public Prosecutor (“MPAP”) filed a public civil action seeking payment for environmental damages caused to William Creek, as well as to other creeks located in the region of influence of the Zamin Amapá Mineração (“Zamin”) and Tucano mines.  The alleged damage is related to the modification of the creek’s riverbed, soiling and sedimentation.  In January 2018, the Amapá State Court ordered the Company to pay a fine of approximately $1,500 (BRL 6,000 plus interest and inflation counted as from the date of the damage) to the State Environmental Fund. The updated value with interest and inflation is approximately $6,700 (BRL 27,000). The Company is in the process of appealing and the likelihood of total loss is not considered probable based on legal advice received.  However, an adjusted lower fine is considered probable and the Company has accrued the amount payable considered more likely than not in long-term other liabilities, representing the Company’s best estimate of the cost to settle the claim. The Company does not expect to make any payments during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Archeological sites damage

Amapá-MMX Iron Ore Project

In May 2016, The Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor (“MPF”) filed a public civil action seeking compensation to be paid by Zamin, the State of Amapá and Tucano for damages to 19 archaeological sites as a result of activities in 2006-2009 at the Amapá-MMX Iron Ore Project currently owned by Zamin.  MPF also claimed that the State of Amapá failed to take proper action during the environmental licensing procedure. MPF claims (i) to hold Zamin and Tucano jointly and severally liable for all alleged damages, (ii) compensatory damages according to the following parameters: (a) compensation of BRL 167 million for damages based on parameters of a report issued by the Federal Police; or (b) compensation of BRL 23.4 million; corresponding to the cost of the rescue archaeology actions that should have been carried out; or (c) the equivalent to the operating income of the defendants regarding the impacted archeological sites, from 2006 to November 2009; and (iii) compensation of BRL 10 million of each defendant for collective nonpecuniary loss to Amapá’s citizens and Brazilians in general. In March 2019, the Lower Court added Anglo Ferrous Brazil Participações and Anglo American Investimentos – Minério de Ferro Ltda (together, the “Anglo Group”) as defendants (as predecessors of Zamin), as requested by the MPF.

Amapari Project

In June 2016, the MPF filed a public civil action seeking compensation from Zamin, the State of Amapá, and Tucano for damages to 15 archaeological sites, as a result of activities in 2004-2010 at the Amapari Project.  MPF also claimed that the State of Amapá failed to take proper action during the environmental licensing procedure. MPF claims (i) to hold Zamin and Tucano jointly and severally liable for all alleged damages, (ii) compensatory damages to be determined at the stage of liquidation of the award; and (iii) compensation of BRL 10 million of each defendant for collective nonpecuniary loss to Amapá’s citizens and Brazilians in general.

These claims against Tucano are being defended on the basis that (i) Tucano has no involvement in the Amapá-MMX Iron Ore Project and, therefore, should not have any liability for archaeological damages; (ii) the environmental licenses for the operation of the Amapari Gold Project have been duly obtained and all obligations have been fulfilled by Tucano; (iii) measures to protect the archaeological heritage were duly implemented; and (iv) there is no evidence of the damage.  The likelihood of total loss is not considered probable. However, the likelihood of a partial loss with the imposition of some compensation obligations is considered probable, and, accordingly, the Company has accrued the amount payable considered more likely than not representing the Company’s best estimate of the cost to settle these claims. The Company expects any settlement to be in the form of community works or services to be undertaken over a period of 3 to 4 years.

Cyanide usage

In October 2018, the public prosecutor’s office of labor affairs for the State of Amapá filed a public civil action seeking payment for potential damages and medical costs in relation to the Company’s employees’ exposure to cyanide used in the processing of its gold.  In August 2019, a regional labour court ordered Tucano to pay compensation of approximately BRL 4 million plus interest and inflation for these damages, in addition to surveillance and funding medical costs of any diseases to Tucano’s internal and outsourced employees and former employees, and to stop using cyanide in its production process within one year from the final non-appealable decision on the proceedings.  Tucano is in the process of appealing to a federal court and is not aware of any circumstances of former or current employees who have suffered health consequences from exposure to cyanide at the Company’s operations.  In addition, the Company notes that the use of cyanide in the processing of gold is common in the industry within Brazil and is not prohibited by any federal law in Brazil and that the Company complies with proper safety standards in the use and handling of cyanide in its operations.  The Company believes the claims are without merit and that it is too early in the process to be able to determine the ultimate outcome.  This assessment will be reviewed after a decision is reached on whether an appeal will be admitted to Superior Labor Court.

26.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(a)    Gold doré advance

On January 6, 2020, the Company entered into a $11,250 gold doré prepayment agreement with Samsung.

In consideration of delivery and sale of approximately 3,000 ounces of gold contained in doré per month over a two-year period commencing January 2020 from Tucano, Samsung has agreed to advance $11,250 (the "Advance") to Great Panther.  Gold deliveries will be sold at a 0.65% discount to the benchmark price of gold at the time of delivery.  The Advance will be repaid in equal instalments of $804 commencing December 2020 until January 2022 such that all amounts outstanding to Samsung will be repaid in full.  The Advance bears interest at an annual rate of 3-month USD LIBOR plus 5% and is secured by a pledge of all equity interests in Great Panther's Brazilian subsidiary that owns Tucano. Great Panther has a full option for early re-payment of the Advance, subject to a 3% penalty applied to the outstanding balance.  The Agreement also provides Samsung a right of offer for concentrates produced from Coricancha in certain circumstances.  The transaction was completed on Feb 4, 2020 upon the funding of the Advance.

(b)    Gold put option arrangements

Subsequent to December 31, 2019, to manage the Company’s exposure to decreases in the gold price, the Company purchased put options for gold totaling 45,000 ounces at $1,500 per gold ounce that mature from March 2020 to June 2020 at an average cost of $9.33 per gold ounce.

(c)    MACA loan repayment

In accordance with the amended loan agreement with MACA (note 12(a)), 10% of the net cash proceeds from any third-party debt or equity financing is required to be paid to MACA and applied against the outstanding balance of the Loan.  Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the Company made a $1,000 repayment which represented 10% of the net cash proceeds from the IXM Promissory Note (note 12(f)).

(d)    Bradesco

Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the Company received a loan from Banco Bradesco (“Bradesco”) in the amount of $10,000, with net loan proceeds of $2,500 as $7,500 is required to be retained as cash collateral.  The loan matures on February 24, 2023, and is required to be repaid in nine quarterly repayments of $1,111 commencing March 5, 2021.  The return of the cash collateral will be proportionate to the quarterly loan repayments, resulting in net quarterly repayments of $278 commencing March 5, 2021.  The loan principal of $10,000 bears interest at 3.70% per annum, and the cash collateral of $7,500 bears interest from 1.97% to 2.40% per annum.

ACQUISITION OF BEADELL RESOURCES LIMITED

ACQUISITION OF BEADELL RESOURCES LIMITED

ACQUISITION OF BEADELL RESOURCES LIMITED

5.      ACQUISITION OF BEADELL RESOURCES LIMITED

On the Acquisition Date, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Beadell through the issuance of 103,593,043 Great Panther common shares to Beadell shareholders, representing approximately 38% of the post-Acquisition issued and outstanding Great Panther shares.  The share exchange represented a ratio of 0.0619 Great Panther shares for each Beadell share (the “Exchange Ratio”).  Additionally, the Company issued 9,749,727 share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $1.317 per share to replace the warrants previously issued by Beadell.  The number of Company share purchase warrants issued were equal to the number of the outstanding Beadell warrants on the Acquisition Date multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, at a price adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, on the same terms and conditions as the original warrants.

The Acquisition is a business combination and has been accounted for in accordance with the measurement and recognition provisions of IFRS 3, Business Combinations.  IFRS 3 requires that the purchase consideration be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Acquisition costs consisting of advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees directly associated with the transaction to acquire Beadell of $2,923 were expensed as incurred during the year ended December 31, 2019. 

On December 5, 2018, prior to the Acquisi tion, the Company entered into a loan agreement pursuant to which the Company advanced Beadell and its subsidiary, Mina Tucano Ltda (formerly Beadell Brasil Ltda) (“Mina Tucano”), as joint and several borrowers, a non-revolving term loan in the principal amount of $5,000 for their general working capital requirements.  Prior to the Acquisition, the Company received partial repayment of $3,000 of the principal amount advanced and payment of accrued interest of $69, and the remaining principal balance of $2,000 was paid on July 11, 2019.  Additionally, prior to the Acquisition, the Company also made a cash advance to Beadell of $354 in February 2019.  The total outstanding balance at Acquisition of $2,370 (after adjusting for foreign exchange differences) was considered part of the exchange in the business combination and was therefore included in the liabilities assumed on the Acquisition Date.

Pursuant to IFRS 3, adjustments made within the measurement period of one year from the Acquisition Date, which ends on March 5, 2020, are recognized as if the accounting for the business combination had been completed at the acquisition date.  In March 2020, the Company received a mineral resource and reserve estimate report for Tucano prepared by independent mining consultant firm, Roscoe Postle & Associates (“RPA”).  The report is dated effective September 30, 2019 and provides updated information regarding the resources and reserves at Tucano that was not available at the initial reporting of the preliminary purchase price allocation at March 31, 2019. The Company also received an updated reclamation obligation report for Tucano during the fourth quarter of 2019. The revised resource and reserve estimates presented in the report by RPA and the revised reclamation obligation gave rise to adjustments to amounts recognized for net identifiable assets and liabilities compared to those previously recognized on acquisition on a preliminary basis.  The most significant changes to the purchase price allocation includes a decrease in mineral property, plant and equipment of $29,492, an increase in the reclamation and remediation provision of $6,534, an increase in deferred income tax liability of $3,457, and an adjustment to increase goodwill by $38,682.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the preliminary estimates of fair value and the adjustments made pursuant to the revised estimate of mineral resources and reserves and reclamation obligation, at the Acquisition Date to arrive at the final purchase price allocation:

(1) The common shares were valued at the closing price of the Company’s shares on the NYSE American on March 5, 2019 was  ($0.90).

The report by RPA identified a significant difference in the amount of economically recoverable resources and reserves acquired and as a result of this difference, the fair value of the mineral properties was re-measured. The decrease in fair value for the mineral properties and recognition of a higher reclamation obligation resulted in goodwill being recognized. The goodwill was determined to be impaired during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

The Company’s reported consolidated statement of profit (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as originally reported has been adjusted as if the adjustment to the purchase price allocation and the accounting for the business combination had been completed at the Acquisition Date.  The following table details amounts previously reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 together with the profit or loss adjustments arising on the finalization of the accounting for the business combination:

The revenue and net loss of Beadell since the Acquisition Date included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2019 are disclosed in note 24.

The revenue and net loss of the combined entity for the year ended December 31, 2019 as though the Acquisition had been as at January 1, 2019 would be $228,691 and $96,124, respectively.

13.     DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

A significant portion of the Company’s capital, exploration, operating and administrative expenditures are incurred in BRL and MXN, while revenues from the sale of refined gold and metal concentrates are denominated in USD.  The fluctuation of the USD in relation to the BRL and MXN, consequently, impacts the reported financial performance of the Company.  To manage the Company’s exposure to changes in the BRL and MXN exchange rate, the Company enters into forward contracts to purchase foreign currencies in exchange for USD at various rates and maturity dates.

As at December 31, 2019, non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts for BRL against USD totaling BRL 418,238 (December 31, 2018 –  $nil) at various pre-determined rates ranging from BRL 4.03/USD to BRL 4.32/USD, at various maturity dates until September 2020, were outstanding.  The fair value of these outstanding non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts resulted in an asset of  $3,454 at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $nil).  A non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contract does not require physical delivery of the designated currencies at maturity.

As at December 31, 2019, there were no outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of MXN in exchange for USD (December 31, 2018 – MXN 345,000 of forward contracts outstanding for which the fair value resulted in an asset of $738).
