18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, by reference to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values.

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(Cdn$ in thousands - Unaudited)

The fair value of the senior secured notes is $449,464 and the carrying value is $506,733 at June 30, 2022. The fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value.

The Company has certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and uses the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, with Level 1 inputs having the highest priority.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the reporting period. The carrying value of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value as at June 30, 2022.

The fair value of the senior secured notes, a Level 1 instrument, is determined based upon publicly available information.

The Company's metal concentrate sales contracts are subject to provisional pricing with the selling price adjusted at the end of the quotational period. At each reporting date, the Company's settlement receivable on these contracts are marked-to-market based on a quoted forward price for which there exists an active commodity market. At June 30, 2022, the Company had settlement receivables/(payables) of $1,053 (at December 31, 2021 - $4,885).

The investment in private companies, a Level 3 instrument, is valued based on a management estimate. As this is an investment in a private exploration and development company, there are no observable market data inputs. At June 30, 2022 the determination of the estimated fair value of the investment includes comparison to the market capitalization of comparable public companies.

Commodity price risk

The Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in prevailing market commodity prices on the metals it produces.  The Company enters into copper put and collar option contracts to reduce the risk of short-term copper price volatility. The amount and duration of the hedge position is based on an assessment of business-specific risk elements combined with the copper pricing outlook. Copper put and collar option contracts are typically extended adding incremental quarters at established put strike prices to provide the necessary price protection. 


Provisional pricing mechanisms embedded within the Company's sales arrangements have the character of a commodity derivative and are carried at fair value as part of accounts receivable.

The table below summarizes the impact on revenue and receivables for changes in commodity prices on the provisionally invoiced sales volumes.

    As at June 30,  
    2022  
Copper increase/decrease by US$0.10/lb.1   1,614  
       
1The analysis is based on the assumption that the period-end copper price increases/decreases US$0.10/lb, with all other variables held constant.  At June 30, 2022, 2.9 million pounds of copper in concentrate were exposed to copper price movements. The closing exchange rate at June 30, 2022 of CAD/USD 1.29.

The sensitivities in the above tables have been determined with foreign currency exchange rates held constant.  The relationship between commodity prices and foreign currencies is complex and movements in foreign exchange can impact commodity prices.  The sensitivities should therefore be used with care.
