(1) Accretion expense for the Romanian reporting segment has been reclassified to loss from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Note 6). The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate to the restoration and rehabilitation of the Company’s mining operations and projects under development. The expected timing of cash flows in respect of each provision is based on the estimated life of the related mining operation. 17. Asset retirement obligations (continued) The provision is calculated as the present value of estimated future net cash outflows based on the following key assumptions:
| Turkiye | Canada | Greece | Romania |
| % | % | % | % |
At December 31, 2023 |  |  |  |  |
Inflation rate | 2.5 to 3.2 | 3.2 |  | 2.3 to 2.5 | 2.5 |  |
Discount rate | 3.9 |  | 3.9 |  | 4.0 to 4.2 | 4.2 |  |
At December 31, 2022 |  |  |  |  |
Inflation rate | 2.3 to 3.1 | 2.6 |  | 2.4 to 2.8 | 2.5 |  |
Discount rate | 4.0 to 4.1 | 3.9 |  | 4.1 to 4.4 | 4.1 |  |
The discount rate is a risk-free rate based on U.S. Treasury bond rates with maturities commensurate with mining operations and projects under development. U.S. Treasury bond rates have been used for all of the mining operations and projects under development as the liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars and the majority of the expenditures are expected to be incurred in U.S. dollars. Similarly, the inflation rates used in determining the present value of the future net cash outflows are based on estimated U.S. inflation rates. In relation to the asset retirement obligations in Greece and Canada, the Company has the following: (a)A €50,000 Letter of Guarantee to the Ministry of Environment and Energy and Climate Change ("MEECC") as security for the due and proper performance of rehabilitation works committed in relation to the mining and metallurgical facilities of the Kassandra Mines (Olympias, Stratoni and Skouries) and the removal, cleaning and rehabilitation of the old Olympias tailings. Subsequent to year-end, this Letter of Guarantee was amended for a 15-year term to May 27, 2038, and has an annual fee of 102 basis points. (b)A €7,500 Letter of Guarantee to the MEECC for the due and proper performance of the Kokkinolakkas Tailings Management Facility, committed in connection with the Environmental Impact Assessment approved for the Kassandra Mines (Olympias, Stratoni and Skouries). Subsequent to year-end, this Letter of Guarantee was amended for a 15-year term to May 27, 2038, and has an annual fee of 107 basis points. (c)Restricted cash of $2,027 (2022 – $1,979) relates to an environmental guarantee deposit posted as security for rehabilitation works primarily in relation to Lamaque.
