Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

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

 

1.CORPORATE INFORMATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Orla Mining Ltd. was incorporated in Alberta in 2007 and was continued into British Columbia in 2010 and subsequently into Ontario under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) in 2014. In 2016, the Company was continued as a federal company under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The “Company”, “Orla”, “we”, and “our” refer to Orla Mining Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The registered office of the Company is located at Suite 1010, 1075 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, Canada.

 

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and exploitation of mineral properties, and holds the Camino Rojo gold and silver mine in Zacatecas State, Mexico, Cerro Quema gold project in Panama, and the South Railroad and Lewis gold projects in Nevada, USA.

 

These 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. The Company declared commercial production at Camino Rojo, effective April 1, 2022.

 

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

(a)STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

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

 

The preparation of these condensed interim 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 United States dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

On August 3, 2023, the Board of Directors approved these condensed interim consolidated financial statements for issuance.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

We applied the same accounting policies in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements as those applied in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as noted herein. 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 audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

10.VALUE ADDED TAXES RECOVERABLE

Current portion  $7,506   $8,659 
Long term portion   5,338    5,229 
   $12,844   $13,888 

 

Value added taxes (“IVA”) paid in Mexico are fully recoverable. However, IVA recovery returns in Mexico are subject to complex filing requirements and detailed audit or review by the fiscal authorities. Consequently, the timing of receipt of refunds is uncertain. We have used judgement in classifying the current and non-current portions of our Mexican VAT receivables. Factors that we considered include (i) the regularity of payments received, (ii) discussions with and communications from the Mexican tax authorities with respect to specific claims, and (iii) the expected length of time for refunds in accordance with Mexico’s regulations.

 

At June 30, 2023, approximately 86 million Mexican pesos ($5.0 million) (December 31, 2022 —approximately 86 million Mexican pesos ($4.4 million)) were under dispute with the taxation authorities. This amount is included within long term value added taxes recoverable.

(a)CREDIT FACILITY

 

On April 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Facility consisting of a $100.0 million term facility and a $50.0 million revolving facility through a syndicate of lenders composed of The Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company’s present and future assets, property and all proceeds thereof other than present and future assets owned by Cerro Quema, which is excluded from the collateral.

 

The Credit Facility consists of two parts:

 

1.$100.0 million term facility with a five-year term, repayable in 18 equal quarterly instalments commencing December 31, 2022.

 

2.$50.0 million revolving facility, with the ability to increase to $75.0 million subject to certain conditions and customary consents. The revolving facility has a three-year term, with an option to extend the term of the revolving facility by up to one-year intervals subject to certain conditions and customary consents. Full repayment of the revolving facility is due upon maturity.

 

The applicable interest rate for each Credit Facility is based on the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.75% based on the Company’s leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter.

(c)DEFERRED SHARE UNITS

 

Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) are awarded by the Company to directors. These DSUs vest immediately but are not settled until the end of the director’s tenure. They may be settled in cash or common shares at the option of the Company. DSUs are valued using the closing price of the Company’s common shares immediately prior to award.

(d)PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS

 

In March 2023, the Board of Directors approved a performance share unit (“PSUs”) plan for certain officers of the Company. The PSUs cliff vest after three years and are settled in cash. The cash payment upon vesting will be based on the number of PSUs, multiplied by the five-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares upon vesting, which is then multiplied by a “performance percentage”. The performance percentage ranges from 0% to 200% based on the Company’s total shareholder return compared to a peer group, consisting of the constituents of the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index.

 

We recognize share-based compensation expense related to these PSUs over the vesting period. We adjust the amount recognized at each reporting period to reflect changes in quoted market values of the Company and the peer group, the lapsed portion of the vesting period, the number of PSUs expected to vest, and the expected performance percentage.

 

On March 27, 2023, the Company issued a total of 198,737 PSUs with an estimated aggregate grant date fair value of $1.27 million.

(e)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 were subject to a vesting period from June 19, 2017, to June 18, 2020 (the “Eligibility Period”). Although the bonus shares have vested, they will become issuable (1) when the non-executive Chairman ceases to act as a director of the Company, or (2) upon a change of control of the Company.

23.CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 

(a)OBJECTIVES

 

Our objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to pursue the exploration, evaluation, development, and exploitation of our mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure.

 

We manage our capital structure and adjust it considering 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, take on additional debt or repay outstanding debt, or acquire or dispose of assets. We currently do not pay regular dividends.

 

Our ability to carry out our long range strategic objectives in future periods depends on our ability to generate positive cash flows from our mining operations and to raise financing from lenders, shareholders, and new investors. We regularly review and consider financing alternatives to fund the Company’s ongoing operational, exploration and development activities.

 

(b)INVESTMENT POLICY

 

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

 

(c)CREDIT FACILITY

 

On April 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Facility which includes a $100 million term facility and a $50 million revolving facility pursuant to which we had drawn $30 million as of June 30, 2023. The agreement includes covenants customary for a facility of this nature, including compliance with customary restrictive covenants and financial covenants related to maintaining a leverage ratio at less than or equal to 3.00, an interest service coverage ratio at greater than or equal to 4, a tangible net worth greater than or equal to $151.6 million, and minimum liquidity in an amount greater than or equal to $15 million. The Company is prohibited from declaring, paying or setting aside for payment any dividends unless certain financial covenants and ratios are met.

 

As at June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

24.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 1 The 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 2 The 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 3 If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, trade payables and accrued liabilities approximates the fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of the Credit Facility and Fresnillo obligation is determined using discounted cash flows based on the expected amounts and timing of the cash flows discounted using a market rate of interest adjusted for appropriate credit risk.

 

The fair value of the Credit Facility at June 30, 2023 was estimated at $113.4 million (December 31, 2022 – $124.5 million) using a discount rate of 8.1% (December 31, 2022 – 7.5%). The fair value of the Fresnillo obligation at June 30, 2023 was estimated at $22.5 million (December 31, 2022 – $22.3 million) using a discount rate of 8.1% (December 31, 2022 – 7.5%).

25.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

(a)COMMITMENTS

 

The Company has issued purchase orders for construction, equipment purchases, materials and supplies, and other services at Camino Rojo. At June 30, 2023, these outstanding purchase orders and contracts totaled approximately $2.0 million (December 31, 2022 – $2.0 million), which we expect will be filled within the next 12 months.

 

The Company is committed to making severance payments totaling approximately $6.6 million (December 31, 2022 – $3.7 million) to certain officers and management in the event of a change in control. As the likelihood of these events occurring is not determinable, this amount is not reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

 

We may, from time to time, be a party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, if resolved against us, would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

(b)DISCRETIONARY MINERAL PROPERTY-RELATED COMMITMENTS

 

As is customary in mineral exploration, some of the mineral properties held by the Company as exploration and evaluation assets have annual minimum work commitments and lease payments required to maintain these properties in good standing pursuant to their underlying agreements.

 

26.INCOME TAXES

 

Tax expense consists of (i) current income tax on taxable income, (ii) 7.5% special mining duty ("SMD") on income subject to SMD, and (iii) withholding taxes attributable to interest charged on intercompany loans to the Mexican operating company, as well as (iv) deferred income tax, and (v) deferred special mining duty.
