13. LEASES

The Company is party to a number of contracts that contain a lease, most of which include office facilities, storage facilities, and various plant and equipment. Leases of low value assets, short term leases and leases with variable payments proportional to the rate of use of the underlying asset do not give rise to a lease obligation and a right-of-use asset, and expenses are included in operating costs in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Leases under IFRS 16 (from January 1, 2019)

The following table sets out the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets included in property, plant and mine development in the consolidated balance sheets and the movements during the period:
