La Arena Sale
On May 1, 2024, the Company announced that it agreed to sell its 100% interest in La Arena to Zijin. On December 2, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed the disposition. In accordance with the share purchase agreement for the sale of La Arena ("SPA"), the Company received total cash proceeds of $306.6 million, which was comprised of $245.0 million of cash consideration, estimated net closing cash (Closing Date cash less Closing Date indebtedness), and an estimated net working capital amount, as defined in the SPA. The net working capital is subject to final adjustments as provided in the SPA.
Additionally, Zijin granted the Company a life-of-mine gold net smelter return royalty ("La Arena NSR") of 1.5% for the La Arena II project, and contingent consideration of $50.0 million payable in cash ("Contingent Consideration") contingent upon the commencement of commercial production from the La Arena II project. The Contingent Consideration is also subject to certain adjustments as provided in the SPA relating to closure costs of the La Arena mine.
The Company recorded the La Arena NSR at a fair value of $29.7 million upon initial recognition. The fair value of the La Arena NSR was estimated using a discounted future cash flow model ("DCF"). The key assumptions in the DCF included: production metrics and duration based on the preliminary feasibility study for the La Arena II Project; prevailing consensus metal prices as at the Closing Date; and, an 8.0% discount rate based on a weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") adjusted for specific risks for the La Arena NSR.
The Company recorded the Contingent Consideration at a fair value of $36.8 million upon initial recognition. The fair value was estimated using a DCF by applying assumptions consistent with those applied for the La Arena NSR valuation, and a 7.5% discount rate based on a WACC adjusted for specific risks for the Contingent Consideration. Given that the payment is contingent on the successful commencement of commercial production, the Contingent Consideration is classified as a financial asset, measured at FVTPL, in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (Note 10) and its fair value shall be subsequently re-measured at the end of each reporting period with changes recognized in the SOE.
