(i) Plant and equipment includes right-of-use assets of $20.3 million as at December 31, 2021 ($10.8 million as at December 31, 2020). Impairments - 2021 Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 Project In March 2021, processing of ore commenced at the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 project. As a result of operational challenges incurred during the second quarter for 2021, it was determined that total capital and production costs related to the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 project would be higher than originally planned. These factors were considered indicators of impairment, among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at June 30, 2021. As a result of the impairment assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $36.1 million on the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 project during the three months ended June 30, 2021. On June 30, 2021, the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 project was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $12.4 million, which was determined by the value-in-use using a cash-flows approach. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of gold from the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 project over its estimated life of the mine, based on an average gold price per ounce of US$1,797, the average grade of gold and the average recovery rate for the remaining mine life. No discount rate was used as the project has a short-term remaining mine life of approximately 18 months. A sensitivity analysis was performed by management for the gold price, the average grade and the recovery rate (in isolation). If gold price per ounce applied to the cash flow projections had been 10% lower than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $9.3 million. If the average gold grade or gold recovery applied to the cash flows had been 10% lower, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $12.4 million. Due to continuing operational challenges, it was determined that total capital and production costs related to the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 project would be higher than the total revenues expected to be generated for the remaining life of the project. These factors were considered indicators of impairment, among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at September 30, 2021. As a result of the impairment assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $22.4 million on the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 project during the three months ended September 30, 2021. On September 30, 2021, the net book value of the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 project was written down to zero as it was estimated that the net book value will not be recovered by the expected net profits to be generated from the sale of precious metals. The recoverable amount was determined by the value-in-use using a cash-flows approach. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of gold from the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 project over its estimated life of the mine, based on an average gold price per ounce of US$1,787, the average grade of gold and the average recovery rate for the remaining mine life. No discount rate was used as the project has a short-term remaining mine life of approximately 18 months. The project value is maintained at zero and any excess operating expenses over revenues are recorded under mining operating expenses on the statements of income (loss).
