(a)Asset retirement obligations The Company’s activities are subject to various laws and regulations regarding environmental restoration and closure for which the Company estimates future costs and recognizes a provision. These provisions may be revised on the basis of amendments to such laws and regulations and the availability of new information, such as changes in reserves corresponding to a change in the LOM, changes in discount rates, approved closure plans, estimated costs of reclamation activities and acquisition or construction of a new mine. The Company makes a provision based on the best estimate of the future cost of rehabilitating mine sites and related production facilities on a discounted basis. The following table presents the reconciliation of the provision for asset retirement obligations:

(b)Provisions for litigation claims and regulatory assessments The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries, arising in the ordinary course of business. Typically the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not, in the opinion of management, materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. During 2018, the Attorney General of Burkina Faso commenced proceedings against Essakane S.A. and certain of its employees generally relating to its practice of exporting carbon fines containing gold and silver from Burkina Faso to a third party facility in Canada for processing and eventual sale. The required payments with respect to shipments of carbon fines were made to the Burkinabe authorities on behalf of Essakane S.A. (and would have paid in respect of the 2018 shipment that was embargoed) pursuant to the royalty applicable under the Burkina Faso Mining Code to gold and silver produced by Essakane S.A. The Company vigorously defended itself and its employees against such proceedings. On December 26, 2023, Essakane S.A. entered into a settlement agreement with the Government of Burkina Faso and agreed to the forfeiture, directly to the State, of the embargoed carbon fines shipment in 2018 and an additional payment directly to the State of a fine in the approximate amount of $15 million. The forfeited carbon fines had a finished goods inventory carrying value of $13.5 million (note 29).
