(a)Foreign Currency Collars
During 2023, the Company entered into zero-cost collars (purchase of a put option and sale of a call option) to reduce the risk associated with fluctuations of the Euro and Canadian dollar at Olympias and Lamaque, respectively. These derivatives set a band within which the Company expects to be able to protect against currency movements, either above or below specific strike prices. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of the foreign currency collars are recorded in other income and expense.
