2.BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB"). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS”) have been condensed or omitted. The accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those set out in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for those described below.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no material impact on consolidated net (loss) earnings or cash flows.

 

On May 20, 2025, the Company completed a share consolidation on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every three pre-consolidation common shares outstanding. All previously reported common share, RSU, DSU, PSU, stock option, and earnings per share amounts have been retrospectively restated in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements to reflect the 3:1 share consolidation, unless otherwise noted.

 

In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The critical judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("US$", or “$”), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company, on August 6, 2025.

 

New accounting standards and amendments adopted

 

Amendment to IAS 21 – Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange

 

On January 1, 2025, the Company adopted the Amendment to IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange” (“IAS 21”), which specifies how to assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not exchangeable. The amendment specifies that a currency is exchangeable when it can be exchanged through market or exchange mechanisms that create enforceable rights and obligations without undue delay at the measurement date and the specified purpose. For non-exchangeable currencies, an entity is required to estimate the spot exchange rate as the rate that would have applied to an orderly exchange transaction between market participants at the measurement date under prevailing economic conditions. The amendment did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

New accounting standards and amendments to be adopted

 

IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosures of Financial Statements.

 

9 

 

 

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosures of Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”) with the aim of improving companies’ reporting of financial performance and giving investors a better basis for analyzing and comparing companies. IFRS 18 introduces three new sets of requirements:

 

·Improved comparability in the statements of income which introduces three defined categories for income and expenses: operating, investing and financing. These changes would require all companies to use the same structure of the statements of income and provide new defined subtotals, including operating profit.
·Enhanced transparency of management-defined performance measures which would require companies to disclose explanations of those company specific measures that are related to the income statement.
·More useful grouping of information in the financial statements which provides enhanced guidance on how to organize information and whether to provide it in the primary financial statements or in the notes.

 

IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.

 

Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments - Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures

 

On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued narrow scope amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7. The amendments include the clarification of the date of initial recognition or derecognition of financial liabilities, including financial liabilities that are settled in cash using an electronic payment system. The amendments also introduce additional disclosure requirements to enhance transparency regarding investments in equity instruments designated at FVOCI and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 and are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity - Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures

 

On December 18, 2024, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to help companies better report the financial effects of nature-dependent electricity contracts. The amendments clarify the factors an entity would consider when assessing whether a renewable electricity contract qualifies for the own-use exemption under IFRS 9, as well as hedge accounting requirements for when a renewable electricity contract is designated as the hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge of forecasted sales or purchases of electricity. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The amendments shall be applied retrospectively, however prior periods need not be restated to reflect the application of the amendments. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

3.OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

The Company operates in Côte d’Ivoire (Bonikro and Agbaou mines), Mali (Sadiola and Korali-Sud mines), Ethiopia (Kurmuk project) and has its Corporate office in Canada.

 

The following table provides the Company’s results by operating segment in the way information is provided to and used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, being the Company's senior executive group, to make decisions about the allocation of resources to the segments and assess their performance. The Company considers each of its operational mines to be a separate segment, with the exception of the Bonikro and Hiré mining licenses and the Sadiola and Korali-Sud mining licenses, which each form a single segment due to the interrelationships in the operations of the mines and operate as the Bonikro and Sadiola mines, respectively. Corporate legal entities are aggregated and presented together as part of the "other" segment on the basis of them sharing similar economic characteristics at June 30, 2025.

10.NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

 

The movement in the non-controlling interests balance for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are as follows:

 

Balance at January 1, 2024  $81,128 
Dividend payable to minority shareholder   (6,677)
Share of loss for the period   (3,919)
Balance at December 31, 2024  $70,532 
Recognition of minority shareholder   (2,312)
Dividend in-kind paid to minority shareholder   (23,896)
Share of profit for the period   34,699 
Balance at June 30, 2025  $79,023 

 

Non-controlling interests represent the 10.11% ownership of the Bonikro mine and 15.0% of the Agbaou mine by the Government of Côte d'Ivoire and 20% of the Sadiola mine as well as 35% of the Korali-Sud mine, owned by the Government of Mali. The $6.7 million dividend accrued as at December 31, 2024 was paid to the Government of Mali on January 30, 2025.

 

On January 8, 2025, the Government of Mali requested that 280 kg of gold be transferred to the state, which was treated as an advance against future dividends payable under the terms of the 2023 Mining Code. Control over the gold was transferred on February 18, 2025 and had a carrying value of $9.4 million. The fair value of the distribution was $23.9 million, which is equal to the value of the dividend paid in-kind, resulting in a gain on distribution of dividend-in-kind of $14.5 million, recognized under Other gains and losses (note 7).

 

In connection with the definitive protocol agreement signed with the Government of Mali during the third quarter of 2024, the Company’s Korali-Sud mine and related assets were transferred to a new entity, Korali S.A., incorporated on January 8, 2025, and 35% of the ownership interests in the new entity were issued to the Government of Mali. The issuance of shares is considered a share-based payment in exchange for the issuance of a definitive exploitation permit for large-scale mining and processing of ore mined at Korali at the Sadiola Plant, which is valued with reference to the fair value of $7.3 million of the shares of Korali S.A. granted. In arriving at the fair value of the shares issued, the Company valued working capital assets and liabilities at cost and valued the inventory and fixed assets using a discounted cash flow model incorporating significant assumptions that included such factors as mineable mineralization including resources, future production levels, operating and capital costs, gold prices ranging from $2,551 to $2,598 per ounce, and a discount rate of 13.9%.

 

The NCI was recognized at the proportional share of the identifiable net assets of Korali S.A. of negative $2.3 million. The difference of $9.6 million between the value of the exploitation permit received capitalized to the cost of the Korali mine and the value of the NCI was recognized in retained earnings. Due to the life of the mine, $6.0 million of the cost capitalized for this permit was recognized as depletion expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, with the remaining $1.3 million recognized as depletion expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Fair value of derivatives

 

On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into zero-cost collars to hedge the price on gold production of 10,000 ounces per month, beginning April 2025 through to December 2026, for a total of 210,000 ounces, at an average put and call strike price of $2,200 per ounce and $3,125 per ounce, respectively. On May 6, 2025, the Company entered into additional zero-cost collars to hedge the price on gold production of 15,500 ounces per month beginning in June 2025 and ending in March 2026 at an average call and strike price of $3,048 and $4,000 per ounce. As of June 30, 2025, 319,500 ounces of gold collars remain unsettled.

 

The aggregate fair value of the position as of June 30, 2025 was a $64.8 million liability (December 31, 2024 - $13.1 million liability) with current portion of $1.7 million included in trade and other payables and non-current portion of $63.1 million included in other liabilities. The fair value of zero-costs collar contracts was determined based on gold future forward prices.

 

The gold collar contracts are designated as cash flow hedging instruments, with the effective portion of changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Any ineffective portion of a hedge relationship is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of (loss) earnings. The Company has elected to exclude the forward element of forward contracts from the hedging relationship, with changes in the amounts recorded in the statement of financial position and treated as a cost of hedging.

(2) As of June 30, 2025, comprises a $25.0 million advance sale and a $75.0 million gold prepay (December 31, 2024 - $25.0 million advance sale and a $75.0 million gold prepay).

 

Stream Arrangements

 

On October 10, 2019 the Company entered into a streaming agreement, currently held by Sandstorm Gold Ltd (“Sandstorm”). Under this agreement, the counterparty has the right to purchase certain quantities of gold at a fixed price of US$400/ounce. Sandstorm has the right to purchase 6% of the first 650,000 ounces of production at the Bonikro mine (39,000 ounces). Subsequently, they may purchase up to 3.5% of each lot between 650,000 ounces and 1,300,000 ounces of refined gold (a further 22,750 ounces and 61,750 ounces inclusive), up to 2% of each lot thereafter.

On August 7, 2024, the Company entered into a streaming transaction with Triple Flag International Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (collectively, “Triple Flag”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received a $53.0 million upfront cash payment on August 14, 2024 and will receive an ongoing payment equal to 10% of the spot gold price. Triple Flag will have the right to purchase 3% of the payable gold produced at each of the Agbaou and Bonikro mines, subject to a step-down to 2% after set delivery thresholds. Costs incurred in the transaction total $1.9 million.

 

On December 5, 2024, the Company entered into a streaming transaction with Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. ("WPMI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. Under the terms of the streaming agreement, the Company will receive an aggregate $175.0 million upfront cash payment to support the funding of the development of the Kurmuk project. WPMI will have the right to purchase 6.7% of payable gold from the Kurmuk mine. The gold stream rate will step down to 4.8% of payable gold after the delivery of 220,000 ounces of gold. WPMI will make ongoing payments of 15% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered under the stream. The stream will cover the existing Kurmuk mining license and until 255,000 ounces of gold have been delivered to WPMI. The Company met the conditions to withdraw the first of four planned payments of $43.8 million each. On June 30, 2025, the Company made the second planned draw.

 

The stream arrangements have been accounted for as deferred revenue, as the upfront payments pertain to future production. As such, revenue is recognized as the services are performed for the counterparty, reducing the unearned deferred revenue balance. The streams contain an intrinsic financing component, which has been valued as part of the subsequent measurement of the deferred revenue stream. The Company estimated the financing component to be 24.99% for the Sandstorm stream, 9.98% for the Triple Flag stream, and 12.02% for the Wheaton stream.

 

As of June 30, 2025, accrued interest of $1.5 million, $2.2 million and $2.7 million has been calculated for the Sandstorm, Triple Flag and WPMI stream agreements, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized for the Sandstorm agreement is $4.6 million, out of which $1.3 million is on a cash basis (at $400 per ounce) while the remainder is non-cash (amortization of deferred revenue). For the Triple Flag agreement, the Company recognized revenue in the amount of $8.1 million, out of which $1.2 million is on a cash basis while the remainder is non-cash amortization of deferred revenue.

 

Gold prepays and advance sales

 

On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into a gold prepaid forward arrangement with select lenders, for a total advance of $75.0 million. Under the arrangement, the Company will deliver to the lenders an aggregate of 2,802 ounces of gold per month over a period of twelve months, starting in October 2026. The Company estimated the financing component for this arrangement to be 11.0%. As of June 30, 2025, accrued interest of $4.2 million has been calculated for this gold prepay forward arrangement.

 

On December 20, 2024 the Company entered into an advance sale agreement to deliver 9,613 ounces of gold at a price of $2,601 per ounce, for a total of $25.0 million. The advance sale was recognized as deferred revenue, and presented as current. Delivery of the gold was completed on January 21, 2025.

 

On March 28, 2025 the Company entered into an advance sale agreement to deliver 8,236 ounces of gold at a price of $3,036 per ounce, for a total of $25.0 million. The advance sale was recognized as deferred revenue, and presented as current. Delivery of the gold was completed in May.

 

The gold prepays and advance sales have been accounted for as deferred revenue, as the upfront payments pertain to future production. As such, revenue is recognized as the services are performed for the counterparty, reducing the unearned deferred revenue balance.

Convertible Debentures

 

On August 30, 2023, the Company issued 107,279 convertible debentures at a price of $1,000 per unit. Each convertible debenture entitled the holder to receive one unsecured convertible debenture of AMC, which was subsequently exchanged for one unsecured convertible debenture of the Company on an economically equivalent basis on September 7, 2023. The convertible debentures bear interest at 8.75% annually, payable semi-annually on September 30 and March 31 of each year, and a maturity date of 5 years. The Company incurred $5.3 million in costs related to this transaction.

 

The debentures are convertible at the holder's option into the Company's shares at any time during their five-year tenure at a price of $17.37 per share (“Conversion Price”), giving effect to the share consolidation that occurred during the second quarter of 2025. The Company has the right to force the conversion of all of the principal amount of the convertible debentures into common shares at the Conversion Price at any time after three years from the date of issuance, provided that the current market price is not less than 115% of the Conversion Price. The convertible debentures also contain embedded derivatives, including the right for conversion and the right to repay the principal amount in common shares upon maturity.

 

Using readily observable inputs from the market, the fair value of the convertible debentures as at June 30, 2025, was determined to be $110.0 million. The net fair value loss of $3.3 million includes a $7.1 million gain from the change in credit risk conditions, recorded in OCI, and a $10.4 million loss from the change in option value and market conditions recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the net fair value loss of $13.6 million includes a $9.4 million gain from the change in credit risk conditions, recorded in OCI, and a $23.0 million loss from the change in option value and market conditions recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of (Loss) Earnings.

 

Credit Facility

 

On December 18, 2024, the Company executed a credit facility for $40.0 million, plus an additional $10.0 million accordion, for a total of $50.0 million and a three-year term. The Company expects to use the funds for financial flexibility and general business purposes. Interest rates are determined based on the leverage ratio, ranging between 350 basis points ("bps") and 450 bps Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Loan or between 250 bps and 350 bps Canadian Prime Loan or Base Rate Loan, with a standby fee of between 87.5 bps and 112.5 bps. As at June 30, 2025, no funds have been withdrawn from the facility.

As disclosed in Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, management concluded that the mining agreements for Sadiola, Bonikro and Agbaou contain a lease; however, due to the variable nature of the payments, there was no lease amount to measure for the lease liability.

Agbaou mine – Acquisition of Endeavour Resources Inc. on March 1, 2021

 

The contingent consideration recorded on the acquisition of Agbaou relates to a royalty on future production from the Agbaou mine applicable to ore that is mined in excess of 320,611 ounces. This threshold was met in late 2022, and consequently the Company continues to value the royalty payable based on future production and using a discounted cash flow approach.

 

The primary inputs to the valuation of the contingent consideration are the consensus forward gold price, from $2,748 per ounce to $3,085 per ounce, and the expected future production of the mine.

 

Sadiola mine – Acquisition of Société d’Exploitation des Mines d’Or de Sadiola S.A on December 30, 2020

 

Contingent consideration recorded on the acquisition of Sadiola includes a first tranche of $24.9 million ($12.45 million each to AngloGold Ashanti (“AGA”) and IAMGOLD Corporation (“IMG”)) upon the production of the first 250,000 ounces from the Sadiola Sulphides Project (“SSP”); and a further tranche of $24.9 million ($12.45 million each to AGA and IMG) upon the production of a further 250,000 ounces from the SSP. The contingent consideration was valued using the discounted cash flow approach.

 

The primary input to the valuation of the contingent consideration is the expected timing of future production from the mine.

 

Korali-Sud project – Acquisition of Korali-Sud on November 9, 2023

 

Deferred consideration recorded on the acquisition of Korali-Sud project includes a $1.0 million deferred consideration payable in cash upon the earlier of 90 days after the date of commencement of commercial production and December 31, 2025.

 

32 

 

 

Kurmuk project – Acquisition of APM Ethiopia Ltd. on September 6, 2023

 

Deferred consideration recorded on the acquisition of the additional interest in Kurmuk includes a consideration consisting of one payment of $25.0 million and two payments of $21.25 million each. The form of these payments includes:

 

·First payment: $25.0 million in cash due on the first anniversary after completion of the acquisition; or $12.5 million paid in cash within 60 days of first anniversary after completion and $12.5 million paid in shares.
·Second payment: $21.25 million due on the second anniversary after completion of the acquisition; or at the election of the counterparty: $21.25 million in cash due on the third anniversary after completion of the acquisition; or $21.25 million in shares due on the second anniversary after completion of the acquisition;
·Third payment: $21.25 million in cash due at the earlier of the Commercial Production Commencement Date (estimated to be no earlier than the 3rd anniversary); and the fourth anniversary after completion of the acquisition.

 

On September 9, 2024, the Company issued 5,917,063 shares to partially settle the first payment, in the amount of $12.5 million. The $12.5 million cash portion of the first payment was completed on November 7, 2024.

 

The Company used their best estimate for the elected option for the deferred consideration, estimating the present value of the deferred consideration to be $38.9 million as of June 30, 2025, which is presented under non-current liabilities. The deferred consideration is valued using the amortized cost method.
