25.INCOME AND MINING TAXES (Continued)

The Company operates in different jurisdictions and, accordingly, it is subject to income and other taxes under the various tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. The Company may be subject, in the future, to a review of its historic income and other tax filings and, in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain tax rules and regulations to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved.

The deductible temporary differences in respect of which a deferred tax asset has not been recognized in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

The Company has $11.1 million (2023 — $433.5 million) of taxable temporary differences associated with its investments in subsidiaries for which deferred income tax has not been recognized, as the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the taxable temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The Company is subject to taxes in Canada, Australia, Finland and Mexico, each with varying statutes of limitations. Prior taxation years generally remain subject to examination by applicable taxation authorities.

The Company is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules. As at December 31, 2024, Pillar Two legislation has come into effect in some of the jurisdictions in which the Company’s entities are incorporated.

The Company applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes, as provided in the amendments to IAS 12 issued in May 2023.

Under the legislation, the Company is liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between their Global Anti-Base Erosion effective tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate. No material top-up tax is payable for the Company for the December 31, 2024 fiscal year and no material top-up tax is expected for the fiscal years after December 31, 2024.
