(i) Refer to Note 7 for the 2019 loss on deemed disposals.

On September 7, 2018, Orion announced the completion of the acquisition and privatization of Dalradian Resources Inc. ("Dalradian"), an associate of Osisko, for cash consideration of $1.47 per common share. The common shares held by Osisko were not acquired in the transaction. Following the transaction, Osisko had a put right on its Dalradian shares, which was exercised in 2019 (Note 21), allowing Osisko to sell them at a price of $1.47 per share. Following the 2018 transaction, management had concluded that it had lost its significant influence over Dalradian and had transferred its investments from associates to other investments. This transfer from investments from associates to other investments resulted in a deemed disposal of the shares and the recognition of the difference between the carrying amount of the Dalradian investment under the equity method before the transaction and the fair value of the other investment after the transaction.

(ii) On September 30, 2019, the Company determined that its net investment in Falco was impaired. This determination was made considering, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its carrying amount, the volatility of the share price and the business outlook for the investee, including factors such as the current and expected status of the investee's development projects. The net investment in Falco was written down to its estimated fair value and, therefore, an impairment charge of $12.5 million ($10.8 million, net of income taxes) was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2019. 

(iii) Osisko Mining Inc. ("Osisko Mining"), an associate of Osisko, held common shares of Barkerville prior to the acquisition (Note 7). Following the acquisition of Barkerville, Osisko Mining has received common shares of Osisko, which resulted in a deemed repurchase of common shares by the Company and a related reduction in the net investment in Osisko Mining, based on the 15.9% interest held in Osisko Mining.
