(1)On February 10, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of Coeur Joaquin S.R.L., subsequently renamed Minera Joaquin S.R.L. (“Joaquin”). Joaquin’s principal asset is the Joaquin project, located in the Santa Cruz province of southern Argentina. During the year ended December 31, 2017, The Company completed technical studies to define the scope of economically recoverable mineralized material. The consideration for the acquisition was $25.0 million, comprised of $15.0 million in cash and $10.0 million of the Company’s common shares valued as of January 13, 2017 (555,654 total common shares), plus a 2.0% net smelter returns royalty on the Joaquin project. Transaction costs were $0.3 million.

(2)On May 31, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of Patagonia Gold Plc's ("Patagonia") COSE project in the Santa Cruz province of southern Argentina from Patagonia. Consideration payable to Patagonia included $15 million, of which $7.5 million is deferred, plus a 1.5% net smelter returns ("NSR") royalty on the COSE project. On May 31, 2017, the Company made a payment of $7.5 million and granted a 1.5% NSR on production from COSE, and the title to COSE transferred to the Company. The remaining $7.5 million payment is due on the earlier of 12 months from the closing date, or the commencement of commercial production.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed from both projects have been included in the table above under "Argentine projects", and in the "Manantial Espejo" reportable operating segment of the segment note (Note 26). The Company concluded that the acquired assets and assumed liabilities did not constitute a business and accordingly the transactions were accounted for as asset acquisitions. The Joaquin purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis with $25.4 million allocated to mineral properties, plant and equipment and the remaining allocated to working capital items ($0.04 million). The COSE purchase price of $15.0 million was allocated to mineral properties, plant and equipment.
