Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

(Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated. All currency figures in tables are in thousands, except per-share amounts)

 

1.CORPORATE INFORMATION AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

 

Orla Mining Ltd. was incorporated in Alberta in 2007 and has been continued as a federal company under the Canada Business Corporations Act since 2016. The “Company”, “Orla”, “we”, and “our” refer to Orla Mining Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The registered office of the Company is located at Suite 202, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, Canada.

 

The Company is engaged in the exploration, development, and acquisition of mineral properties, and holds two material gold projects – the Camino Rojo oxide gold and silver project in Zacatecas State, Mexico, and the Cerro Quema gold project in Panama.

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As at September 30, 2019, the Company had not advanced any of its properties to commercial production and was not able to fund day-to-day activities through operations. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon successful results from our mineral exploration activities and our ability to attain profitable operations and generate cash or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. We expect to fund operating costs of the Company over the next twelve months with cash on hand and with further equity or debt financings.

 

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

We have prepared these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 «Interim Financial Reporting». They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements.

 

The Board of Directors approved these condensed interim consolidated financial statements for issue, on November 12, 2019.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

We applied the same accounting policies in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements as those applied in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements we made in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

You should read these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

4.CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 WHICH EFFECT THE COMPARATIVE FIGURES

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we changed certain of our accounting policies. Consequently, we restated the figures presented for the comparative period (namely, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018). A discussion of the quantitative changes respecting the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are presented in this note below. For a qualitative discussion of these changes in accounting policies we refer you to note 3(a) of our annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

(i)Exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) expenditures

 

The Company’s previous accounting policy was to capitalize exploration and evaluation expenditures. In preparation for the possible construction and operation of our mineral projects, we updated our policy with respect to such expenditures. The new policy is to expense such expenditures as incurred.

 

(ii)Site-related administrative costs

 

The Company’s previous accounting policy was to include site-related administrative costs, professional fees, rent, administrative salaries, and travel within “general and administrative expenses”. The new policy is to present these costs within exploration expenditures.

 

(iii)Site-related VAT recoverable amounts

 

The Company’s previous accounting policy was to include site-related value-added taxes (“VAT”) recoverable, such as Mexican IVA, within “exploration and evaluation assets”. The new policy is to present these amounts as receivables, with appropriate current and long term classification. The IVA paid upon the initial acquisition of the Camino Rojo Project continues to be carried as part of acquisition costs.

 

(iv)Corporate administrative costs

 

As a result of the reclassifications in note (ii) above, corporate “rent”, “public and community relations”, and “travel” were trivial. Consequently, we grouped them within “office and administrative” expenses.

 

(v)Effects of these changes in accounting policies

 

The effects of the above changes on the results of operations and cash flows are presented here:

5.EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION

 

The Company’s exploration and evaluation projects consist of the Camino Rojo Project, the Cerro Quema Project, and the Monitor Gold Project.

 

(a)Camino Rojo Project

 

The Camino Rojo Project lies 190 km NE of the city of Zacatecas, 48 km S-SW of the town of Concepcion del Oro, and 54 km S-SE of Newmont Goldcorp Corporation’s (“Newmont”) Peñasquito Mine and consists of eight concessions covering in aggregate approximately 206,000 hectares. As currently understood, Camino Rojo is comprised of a near-surface oxide gold and silver deposit, a deeper sulphide zone containing gold, silver, zinc and lead mineralization, and a large area with exploration potential.

 

In November 2017, we acquired the Camino Rojo Project from Goldcorp Inc. (a predecessor company to Newmont) by:

 

·issuing 31,860,141 common shares of Orla,
·granting a 2% net smelter royalty (the “Royalty”) on the sale of all metal production from Camino Rojo, and
·paying certain obligations, including Mexican value-added taxes, of approximately $4,923,000.

 

In addition, the Company and Goldcorp (now, Newmont) entered into an option agreement regarding the potential development of sulphide operations at Camino Rojo. Pursuant to the option agreement, Newmont will, subject to the applicable sulphide project meeting certain thresholds, have an option to acquire a 60% or 70% interest in the applicable sulphide project. The Royalty excludes revenue on the sale of metals produced from a sulphide project where Newmont has exercised its Sulphide Option.

 

We maintain a right of first refusal if Newmont elects to sell the Royalty, in whole or in part.

 

(b)Cerro Quema Project

 

The Cerro Quema Project is located on the Azuero Peninsula in Los Santos Province, in south western Panama, about 45 kilometres southwest of the city of Chitre and about 190 kilometres southwest of Panama City. The project is at the exploration and development stage for a proposed open pit mine with process by heap leaching.

 

In December 2016, we acquired 100% of the Cerro Quema Project by acquiring Pershimco Resources Inc. through the issuance of a combination of Orla common shares and warrants, and the assumption of Pershimco’s long term debt, which we subsequently paid off. We own the mineral rights as well as the surface rights over the current mineral resource areas, proposed mine development areas, and priority drill target areas.

 

The original 20-year terms for these concessions expired in February and March of 2017. The Company has applied for the prescribed ten-year extension to these concessions as it is entitled to under Panamanian mineral law. In March 2017, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry provided written confirmation to the Company that the extension applications had been received and that exploration work could continue while the Company awaits renewal of the concessions. As of the date of these financial statements, final concession renewals have not been received. However, we continue to receive ongoing drilling, water use, environmental and other permits, and have paid concession taxes, in the normal course.

(c)Monitor Gold Project

 

The Monitor Gold Project consists of three separate option agreements consisting of 422 claims covering 3,416 hectares in Nye County, Nevada, USA.

 

To maintain the options, minimum payments and work commitments are required for each year to 2038. In 2019, these consist of US$50,000 in share issuances (completed in January 2019), US$20,000 in advance royalty payments (completed in March 2019), and US$30,000 in work commitments (completed). For 2020, these payments and work commitments consist of US$40,000 in advance royalty payments, and US$75,000 in work commitments. We expense these property options payments and work commitments as they are incurred.

8.LEASES

 

On May 1, 2019, we entered into a lease of approximately three years in respect of office space. Prior to this agreement, our terms were month-to-month, for which we had elected to expense as incurred.

 

Upon inception of the lease, we recognized a right-of-use asset of $116,000 with an offsetting lease liability of the same amount.

 

The lease obligation was calculated using a discount rate of 10% based on fixed payments required under the lease. We deducted initial non-refundable payments totaling $10,000 paid at inception. We expense annual operating and tax payments as incurred and include them within office and administration.

 

We depreciate the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Newmont (previously, Goldcorp) agreed to provide interest-free loans to the Company for all the annual landholding costs on the Camino Rojo project from November 7, 2017 until December 31, 2019. The loans are to be repaid upon declaration of commencement of commercial production of a heap leach operation at the Camino Rojo Project. No further advances in respect of this loan are expected.

 

At our option, we may repay any amounts owing to Newmont, prior to maturity, in the form of (a) a lump sum cash payment, (b) the issuance of additional common shares of the Company, or (c) a combination of cash and shares, all provided that any issuance of common shares does not result in Newmont holding more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding number of common shares of the Company.

 

Because the loan is non-interest bearing, for accounting purposes at date of each advance, we discount the expected payments using a risk-adjusted discount rate and estimated repayment date. A rate of 14.6% was used for the advance received during the quarter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a weighted average discount rate of 14.9% was used for advances received during that period. Amounts received in excess of fair value on the date of the advances are credited to exploration expense.

 

10.SHARE CAPITAL

 

(a)Warrants

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we announced an Early Warrant Exercise Incentive Program, the purpose of which was to encourage the early exercise of the Company’s warrants which are scheduled to expire on July 8, 2021 (the “July 2021 warrants”). Under the incentive program, holders of such warrants were entitled to receive one full new warrant (the "Incentive Warrant") if they exercised their July 2021 warrants prior to July 12, 2019. Each Incentive Warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of $1.65 expiring June 12, 2022.

(e)Bonus shares

 

(i)Non-executive Chairman bonus shares

 

During 2017, the Board of Directors awarded 500,000 common shares to the non-executive Chairman of the Company as bonus shares. The bonus shares are subject to a vesting period from June 19, 2017 to June 18, 2020 (the “Eligibility Period”). If the non-executive Chairman ceases to be the director of the Company before the Eligibility Period ends, the bonus shares will be forfeited. The bonus shares will become issuable (1) after the Eligibility Period on the date that the non-executive Chairman ceases to act as a director of the Company, or (2) upon a change of control of the Company.

 

We estimated the fair value of the bonus shares ($655,000) based on the market price of the common shares at the date of Board approval. Accordingly, we are recognizing this award date fair value in share-based payments expense on a straight-line basis over the Eligibility Period.

 

(ii)Chief Executive Officer bonus shares

 

On November 13, 2018, the Board of Directors awarded 1,000,000 bonus shares to the incoming Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The bonus shares vest in four tranches of 250,000 bonus shares each, issuable upon the achievement of certain share price thresholds particular to each tranche. We estimated that these market condition tranches would vest in various periods from December 2019 to March 2022. Accordingly, we are recognizing the award date fair value ($537,000) in share payments expense over these periods.

 

11.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company’s related parties include:

 

Related party   Nature of the relationship
     
Key management personnel (“KMP”)   Key management personnel are the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

13.SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

(a)Reportable segments

 

The operating segments of the Company are based on the reports which the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews in making strategic resource allocation decisions. These operating segments are the Panamanian projects, the Mexican projects, and the corporate office. The projects are each managed by a dedicated General Manager and management team. Additionally, the corporate office oversees the plans and activities of early stage exploration projects, such as the Monitor Gold project.

 

None of these segments as yet generate revenue from external customers, and each of the projects are focused on the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties.

14.CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 

Our objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration and evaluation of our mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure. In the management of capital, we include long term loans and share capital.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were no changes to our policy for capital management during the year.

 

We manage our capital structure and make adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the Company’s capital structure, we may issue new shares, acquire or dispose of assets, issue debt, or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments. In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, we do not currently pay dividends. The Company and its subsidiaries are not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

Loan advances from Newmont are typically used within a few weeks of receipt to pay land holding costs pursuant to the agreement governing these advances.

 

Our investment policy is to invest the Company’s excess cash in low risk financial instruments such as term deposits and higher yield savings accounts with major Canadian banks. By using this strategy, the Company preserves its cash resources and is able to marginally increase these resources through the yields on these investments. Our financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which include currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

 

Our ability to carry out our long-range strategic objectives in future years depends on our ability to raise financing from lenders, shareholders and other investors. We continue to regularly review and consider financing alternatives to fund the Company’s ongoing exploration and development activities.

15.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

(a)Fair value hierarchy

 

To provide an indication of the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, we classify our financial instruments into the three levels prescribed by the accounting standards.

 

Level 1The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded equity securities) is based on quoted (unadjusted) market prices as at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the closing trading price on the reporting date. Such instruments are included in Level 1.

 

Level 2The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, we include that instrument in Level 2.

 

Level 3If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. We have no financial assets or liabilities included in Level 3 of the hierarchy.

 

At September 30, 2019, the carrying values and fair values of our financial instruments by category were as follows:

 

          Fair value 
   Classification  Carrying
value
   Quoted
prices in
active market

   Significant

      $5,846    5,599   $247   $   $5,846

      $7,444   $   $7,444   $   $7,444 

 

Our policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period. As at September 30, 2019, we had no financial assets or financial liabilities which we measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

 

(b)Financial Risk Management

 

(i)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to financial instruments fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is limited to cash and reclamation deposits.

 

Our cash is held at large Canadian financial institutions in interest bearing accounts. Our reclamation deposits are held with large banks in the countries where the authorities have required such deposits. We believe that the credit risk related to our cash and reclamation deposits is negligible.

 

Our accounts receivable primarily consist of advances to employees, vendors and suppliers and may be subject to notable credit and performance risk; however, these balances are not material.

 

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, and reclamation deposits.

(ii)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities.

 

At September 30, 2019, our financial liabilities had expected maturity dates as follows:

 

   Fair value   Total
contractual
cash flows
   Less than
3 months
   Between
3 months and
1 year
   Between
1 year and
3 years
   More than
3 years
 
Trade payables  $208   $208   $        208   $        —   $   $        — 
Lease obligations   95    109    10    31    68     
Newmont loan   11,834    14,731            14,731     
   $12,137   $15,048   $218   $31   $14,799   $ 

 

We manage liquidity by anticipating and maintaining adequate cash balances to meet liabilities as they become due. We review cash forecasts on a regular basis to determine whether the Company will have sufficient cash to meet future working capital needs.

 

(iii)Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The significant market risks to which the Company’s financial instruments are exposed are currency risk and interest rate risk.

 

(A)Currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars. We have not entered into any foreign currency contracts or similar arrangements to mitigate this risk; however, we may do so in the future.

 

Our financial instruments are held in Canadian dollars (“C$”), US dollars (“US$”), and Mexican pesos (“MXN”). As such, our US- and Mexican-currency accounts and balances are subject to fluctuation against the Canadian dollar. These foreign currency financial instruments were denominated in the following currencies as at September 30, 2019:

(Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated. All currency figures in tables are in thousands, except per-share amounts)

 

   US dollars
(thousands)
   Mexican pesos
(thousands)
 
Cash  US$776   MXN8,558 
Restricted cash   300     
Accounts receivable   5    612 
Reclamation deposits   150     
Trade payables   (13)   (852)
Newmont loan       (176,316)
Total foreign currency  US$1,218   MXN(167,998) 
Exchange rate   1.3243    0.0671 
Equivalent Canadian dollars  C$1,613   C$(11,276) 

 

Based on the above net exposures as at September 30, 2019, and assuming all other variables remain constant:

 

·a 10% appreciation of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would decrease loss by $120,000 and
   
·a 10% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the Canadian dollar would increase loss by $2,563,000.

 

(B)Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Our cash and our reclamation deposits are held mainly in saving accounts and term deposits and therefore there is currently minimal interest rate risk. Because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on estimated fair values compared to carrying value.

 

The Company’s interest rate risk arises principally from the changes in interest rates related to term deposits where our cash and reclamation deposits are held. A one percent change increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $68,000 in the Company’s loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

16.EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

 

(a)Project Finance Facility

 

Subsequent to the reporting period, on October 21, 2019, we entered into a Commitment Letter with a syndicate of lenders for a secured project finance facility (the “Facility”) of up to US$125 million. In connection with the Commitment Letter, certain members of the syndicate have collectively committed to provide an initial tranche of US$25 million which the Company may draw prior to final syndication, completion of definitive documentation relating to the Facility, and final receipt of required mine permits. This initial advance will allow the Company to order long lead items to maintain an efficient construction schedule.

 

Key terms of the Facility will include:

 

·Term of 5.0 years;
·Up to US$125 million, with an early drawdown option:
oUS$25 million is committed and, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, will be available for drawdown prior to Closing at Orla’s option.
oTwo subsequent tranches of US$50 million each, available for drawdown upon Closing and after satisfaction of conditions precedent, including the receipt of key permits required for the development of Camino Rojo;
·Interest rate of 8.8% per annum;
·32.5 million common share purchase warrants to be issued to the lenders on Closing, with an exercise price of C$3.00 per warrant, and a 7-year term;
