Significant accounting judgements and estimates

   

Ore reserve and resource estimates

   

Ore reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the Company’s mining properties. The Company estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body, and requires complex geological judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, metallurgical recoveries, permitting and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size, and grade of the ore body. Changes in the reserve or resource estimates may impact the carrying value of mining interests, mine restoration provisions, recognition of deferred tax assets, depreciation and amortization charges and royalties receivable.

   

Uncertain tax positions

   

The Company is periodically subject to income tax audits at its operating mine locations. At September 30, 2016, the Company had a provision totalling $1.8 million outstanding (December 31, 2015 - $4.0 million) representing its best estimate of the outcome of current assessments. The provisions made to date may be subject to change and such change may be material.

   

Value-added tax receivables

   

The Company incurs indirect taxes, including value-added tax, on purchases of goods and services at its operating mines and development projects. Indirect tax balances are recorded at their estimated recoverable amounts within current or long-term assets, net of provisions, and reflect the Company’s best estimate of their recoverability under existing tax rules in the respective jurisdictions in which they arise. Management’s assessment of recoverability considers the probable outcomes of claimed deductions and/or disputes. The provisions and balance sheet classifications made to date may be subject to change and such change may be material.

Fekola

Purchase of Fekola non-controlling interest

In January 2015, the Company purchased the 10% non-controlling interest, owned by a private Malian company, in Songhoi Resources SARL (“Songhoi”). Songhoi is the entity that holds the Fekola Project in Mali. The purchase price consisted of $21.2 million in cash and common shares and the grant of a 1.65% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) on the Fekola Project after deducting costs for smelting, refining and government fees. The cash and common shares are payable in three tranches: (1) $5.7 million cash and $6 million common shares were paid/issued on closing (paid), (2) $2 million cash and $4 million payable in cash or common shares at the holder’s option on the first anniversary of the agreement date (paid in cash, January 18, 2016) and (3) $1.5 million cash and $2 million payable in cash or common shares at the holder’s option upon achievement of commercial production at the Fekola Project. At the holder’s election, $6 million in cash was paid during the first quarter of 2016.

The cash and common share instalments to be paid in the future have been classified as a financial liability and have been valued at their present value using a discount rate of 5%. These have been accrued in other liabilities.

Pursuant to applicable mining law, an exploitation company will be formed with the Company contributing a 10% free carried interest to the Government of Mali. The Government of Mali also has the option to purchase an additional 10% of the exploitation company.

Masbate

As previously reported by the Company, on September 27, 2016, the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources (the “DENR ”) announced the preliminary results of mining audits carried out by the DENR in respect of all metallic mines in the Philippines. At that time, DENR spokespersons advised the Company that the Masbate Mine would receive a show-cause letter related to its operations. The DENR subsequently issued the Masbate Mine audit report which contains the detailed findings from the audit and directed the Company to provide explanations and comments in response to the audit findings; however, no show-cause order was issued to the Company respect of any findings. The audit findings are related to administrative and regulatory issues, including without limitation (a) alleged issues related to certain mining operations occurring in areas not covered by our Environmental Compliance Certificate, which in our view is mistaken and likely arises as a result of incorrect geographical coordinates of the Masbate project used by the auditors, and (b) alleged issues related to the appropriate approval of mine operating and production plans, the payment of fees for waste and tailing disposal, and a series of alleged infractions of the Philippine Mining Act of 1995 and safety regulations. The audit also includes recommendations related to guidelines to enhance our reclamation planning and practices, and several proposals related to community planning and development which the Company supports. The Company has provided a comprehensive response to the findings and recommendations in the audit, which the Company believes addresses the issues raised, and which is presently being evaluated by the DENR. Meanwhile our operations continue uninterrupted and the personnel at the DENR have been highly cooperative and supportive in helping to address these matters. However, until we receive the results of the DENR’s review of our response to the audit, which we expect in early November, the final outcome of the audit process which may lead to the issuance of a show-cause order and the suspension of operations at Masbate, is not known.

Chile

During the nine months to September 30, 2016, the Company elected not to continue with the Pampa Paciencia and Cerro Barco projects in Chile. As a result, the company wrote-off expenditures totalling $3.7 million related to these projects during the period.

Calibre

During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company made the decision to restructure its 51% interest in a joint operation in Nicaragua with Calibre Mining Corp. This transacton is expected to close within the next 12 months. As a result, the property has been written down to its estimated fair value of $3.2 million and impairment losses totalling $8.5 million were recognized in net income during the quarter.

Revolving credit facilities

On May 20, 2015, the Company entered into a new $350 million revolving credit facility (the “New RCF”). On June 11, 2015 the Company repaid the $150 million outstanding under its existing revolving credit facility with proceeds from the New RCF. At this time, the remaining unamortized transaction costs totalling $3.0 million were expensed to interest and financing expense in the statement of operations.

As at December 31, 2015, Company had drawn down $225 million under the New RCF. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the company drew down an additional $nil and $50 million respectively. Following completion of the Prepaid Sales transactions (Note 10) in March 2016, the Company reduced the outstanding balance on the New RCF by $100 million, to $175 million. A further $25 million was repaid during the third quarter. At September 30, 2016, the company had drawn down $150 million under the facility with a balance of $200 million remaining available for future drawdowns.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the interest and financing expense recognized in the statement of operations for the New RCF was reduced by $1.0 million and $2.4 million respectively (2015 – $0.7 and $1.4 million respectively), which was attributable to eligible expenditures on the Fekola property and capitalized to the carrying amount of the property.

The Company has provided security on the New RCF in the form of a general security interest over the Company’s assets and pledges creating a charge over the shares of certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. In connection with the New RCF, the Company must also maintain certain net tangible worth levels and ratios for leverage and interest coverage. As at September 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants.

Otjikoto equipment loan facility

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company drew $nil and $11.0 million respectively under the facility (2015 – $nil and $3.9 million respectively). During the period, the term over which loans may be advanced under the facility was extended to December 31, 2016 and an additional $4.5 million was made available for drawdown. At September 30, 2016, the Company had drawn down the full amount available under the facility.

Fekola equipment loan facility

The Company has entered into a Euro 71.4 million term Equipment Facility with Caterpillar Financial SARL, as Mandated Lead Arranger, and Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, as original lender. The aggregate principal amount of up to Euro 71.4 million is available to the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Fekola SA to finance or refinance the mining fleet and other mining equipment at the Company's Fekola Project in Mali.

The Equipment Facility is available for a period commencing on the date upon which certain conditions precedent set forth in the Equipment Facility have been satisfied (the “Financial Close Date”) and ending on the earlier of the day when the Equipment Facility is fully drawn and 30 months from the Financial Close Date. The Equipment Facility may be drawn in installments of not less than Euro 5 million, and each such installment shall be treated as a separate equipment loan. As at September 30, 2016, there had been no drawdowns on the facility.

Each equipment loan is repayable in 20 equal quarterly installments. The final repayment date shall be five years from the first disbursement under each equipment loan.

The interest rate on each loan is a rate per annum equal to EURIBOR plus a margin of 5.10%. A commitment fee of 1.15% per annum on the undrawn balance of each tranche for the first 24 months after the earlier of the Financial Close Date and December 7, 2016 and 0.5% thereafter, each payable quarterly plus in each case, from October 1, 2017, 0.4167% per annum on the undrawn balance of each tranche. Drawdowns under the Facility are subject to normal conditions precedent, including the preparation and execution of definitive security documentation and receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals. The Company and the Company’s subsidiary, Mali Mining Investments Limited, have guaranteed the Equipment Facility and security will be given over equipment which has been financed by the Equipment Facility and certain bank accounts.
