In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies each CGU is assessed for indicators of impairment and impairment reversal, from both external and internal sources, at the end of each reporting period. The recoverable amounts of the Company’s CGUs are based primarily on the net present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGUs. The recoverable amount used by the Company represents each CGU’s FVLCD, a Level 3 fair value measurement, as it was determined to be higher than value in use.
Olympias
At December 31, 2024, the Company identified an indicator of impairment reversal for the Olympias mine ("Olympias") due to continuing higher gold prices and mine production efficiencies and performed an impairment test of the Olympias CGU.
See Note 4 for discussion of judgement used in assumptions and estimates. The significant assumptions used for determining the recoverable amount of the Olympias CGU at December 31, 2024 are reflected in the table below.
2024 Assumptions
Gold price ($/oz)
$2,600 - $2,100
Silver price ($/oz)
$32 - $27
Lead price ($/t)
$2,072 - $2,116
Zinc price ($/t)
$2,646 - $2,778
Real discount rate
6.75% - 7.75%
VBPP value/oz
$40 - $60/oz
The assessment as at December 31, 2024 indicated that no impairment reversal is required to be recorded. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the fair values could impact the impairment test. In isolation, a $50/oz increase or decrease in the long-term gold price would approximately result in a $28 million increase or decrease in the recoverable amount, respectively. A 25 basis point increase or decrease in the discount rate would approximately result in a $19 million decrease or increase in the recoverable amount.
