The income and mining tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 varies from the amounts that would have resulted from applying the statutory tax rates to pre-tax loss due primarily to the impact of taxation in foreign jurisdictions, non-recognition of net operating losses and foreign exchange gains and losses in certain jurisdictions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we used the annual effective tax rate method to calculate the tax provision. Valuation allowances on Nevada, Mexico and certain Canadian net operating losses were treated as discrete adjustments to the tax provision.
