("SMM") financing arrangement entered into during December 2022 (note 7), the Company held a 70% participating interest in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses through an unincorporated joint venture with SMM with respect to the Côté Gold project (the "Côté UJV").

    (i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise control. Control of an entity is defined to exist when the Company is exposed to variable returns from involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity. Specifically, the Company controls an entity if the Company has all of the following: power over the entity (i.e. existing rights that give the Company the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the entity); exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with the entity; and the ability to use power over the entity to affect its returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the acquisition date, which is the date on which the Company obtains control of the acquired entity. Where the Company’s interest in a subsidiary is less than 100%, the Company recognizes a non-controlling interest. All intercompany balances, transactions, income, expenses and profits or losses have been eliminated on consolidation.
(ii)Unincorporated arrangements
The Company participates in unincorporated arrangements and has rights to its share of the undivided assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the properties, subject to the arrangements, rather than a right to a net return. All such amounts are measured in accordance with the terms of the arrangements, which is usually in proportion to the Company’s interest in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the properties. These amounts are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on the appropriate lines.
(d)    Functional and presentation currency
    The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The presentation currency of the Company's consolidated financial statements is the U.S. dollar.
    Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the entity's functional currency as follows:
Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date;
Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at each transaction date;
Deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized at Essakane are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date with translation gains and losses recorded in income tax expense; and
Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates throughout the reporting period, except depreciation, which is translated at the rates of exchange applicable to the related assets, and share-based compensation expense, which is translated at the rates of exchange applicable at the date of grant of the share-based compensation.
Exchange gains or losses on translation of transactions are included in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). When a gain or loss on certain non-monetary items, such as financial assets at fair value through OCI ("FVTOCI"), is recognized in OCI, the translation differences are also recognized in OCI.
