INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE

   

Investment in associate comprises 24,327,983 (December 31, 2011 – 24,633,333) common shares of Pretium Resources Inc. (“Pretium”), which constitutes an ownership interest of 27.61% (December 31, 2011 – 28.39%). Activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2011 was as follows:


      March 31, 2012     December 31, 2011  
      $    $   
  Carrying amount, beginning   136,342     226,271  
  Partial disposition (note 7)   (1,989 )   (82,138 )
  Dilution gain (1)   4,225     1,803  
  Share of net loss   (1,239 )   (6,078 )
  Share of other comprehensive income (loss)   3,496     (3,516 )
  Carrying amount, ending   140,835     136,342  

(1) On February 17, 2012, Pretium completed a private placement of 1,250,000 flow-through common shares, in which the Company elected not to participate. This share issuance by Pretium resulted in a dilution of the Company’s interest by 1.42% and a dilution gain of $4,225,000 which was recognized in other income (note 11).

   
6.

VALUE ADDED TAX RECEIVABLE


      March 31,     December 31,  
      2012     2011  
      $      $   
  Current   22,774     1,482  
  Non-current   72,464     89,160  
      95,238     90,642  

In countries where value added tax (“VAT”) has been paid but recoverability is uncertain, the VAT payments have either been deferred within mineral property costs, or expensed if related to general mineral exploration. If the Company ultimately recovers the amounts that have been deferred, the amount received will be applied to reduce mineral property costs.

VAT paid in Argentina in relation to the Pirquitas mine is recoverable under Argentine law once the mine reaches the production stage. Production commenced at the mine on December 1, 2009, and as a result the Company has applied to the Argentine government to recover the applicable VAT. The Company believes that the balance is fully recoverable and has not provided an allowance. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company reclassified VAT of $21,195,000 from non-current assets to trade and other receivables, for expected recoveries within one year of the statement of financial position date.

7.

WARRANT LIABILITY

   

As part of its secondary offering of Pretium shares in April 2011, the Company issued 5,750,000 Pretium common share purchase warrants (the “Pretium warrants”). Each Pretium warrant was exercisable at a price of C$12.50 until April 9, 2012. Upon issuance of the Pretium warrants the Company recognized a liability of $7,500,000 in the statement of financial position. The liability was recorded at FVTPL. The trading price of the Pretium warrants at March 31, 2012 was C$1.72, resulting in an unrealized loss upon re-measurement of the liability of $2,769,000 for the period then ended.

   

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, 339,350 warrants were exercised for proceeds of $4,202,000, resulting in a gain on disposal of the underlying investment of $3,183,000.

   

Subsequent to the period-end, the Company received additional proceeds of $67,225,000 from exercises of 5,338,176 Pretium warrants up to their expiry on April 9, 2012, resulting in a further dilution of the Company’s interest to 21.55%. A total of 72,474 warrants expired unexercised.

   
8.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES

   

In February 2008, the Company sold $138,000,000 in senior convertible unsecured notes (“Notes”) for net proceeds of $132,754,000 after payment of commissions and expenses related to the offering. The unsecured Notes mature on March 1, 2028 and bear an interest rate of 4.5% per annum, payable semi-annually. At initial recognition the value of the Notes was allocated between the debt and the derivative components. The fair value of the debt portion was $99,144,000 and the fair value of the derivative was $38,856,000 upon inception. The debt component continues to be accreted to its maturity value using the effective interest rate method.

   

The Notes are redeemable in part or in full at the option of the holder on March 1 at each of 2013, 2018, and 2023, or upon fundamental corporate changes. They are also redeemable by the Company in part or in full on and after March 5, 2013. The Company reclassified the Notes and the derivative from non-current liabilities to current liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to the probability of the holders’ exercising their option to redeem within one year of the statement of financial position date.

   

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on the derivative of $773,000 (March 31, 2011 – loss of $4,444,000).

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

   

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, 417,125 options were granted to employees exercisable over a seven- year period at a weighted average exercise price of C$16.11 and average fair value of C$7.35. The option valuations were based on an average expected option life of 4.2 years, a risk free interest rate of 1.2%, a dividend yield of nil and volatility of 58.3%. In addition, 51,668 options were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of C$11.50. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, 358,500 options were granted to officers, employees, directors and other eligible persons at a strike price ranging from C$23.14 to C$28.98 and average fair value of C$12.39.

   

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, 11,757 deferred share units (“DSUs”) were granted to non-executive directors (three months ended March 31, 2011 - 5,128), 79,150 restricted share units (“RSUs”) were granted to employees (three months ended March 31, 2011 – 66,800), and 110,058 performance share units (“PSUs”) were granted to senior executives (three months ended March 31, 2011 – 141,800). Also during this period, a total of 3,334 RSUs were forfeited, and 16,756 RSUs vested at a price per unit of C$15.55 (three months ended March 31, 2011 – nil forfeited and nil vested).

   

The DSUs vest immediately and are redeemable in cash on the date the non-executive director ceases to be a director of the Company. At March 31, 2012, there were 110,046 DSUs (December 31, 2011 - 98,289) outstanding with a fair value of $1,622,000 (December 31, 2011 - $1,363,000).

   

The RSUs vest over a three-year period, and are cash-settled immediately upon vesting. At March 31, 2012, there were 135,860 RSUs outstanding with a fair value of C$14.50 per RSU. The PSUs vest after a performance period of two to three years; the vesting of the award is based on the Company’s total shareholder return in comparison to its peer group, and awards range from 0% to 200% of initial PSUs granted.

The Pirquitas mine has a fiscal stability agreement with the government of Argentina dating from 1998. In 2002, the government of Argentina implemented an export duty on concentrates that did not apply to companies with pre- existing fiscal stability agreements. In December 2007 the National Customs Authority of Argentina levied an export duty of approximately 10% on concentrates for projects with fiscal stability agreements predating 2002. The Company has been advised that the Pirquitas mine is subject to this export duty despite rights under the fiscal stability agreement from 1998. The legality of the export duty applied to silver concentrates has been challenged and is currently under review by the court in Argentina. In July 2010, the Company filed a claim in the provincial court for repayment of export duties paid on silver concentrates and for an order to cease payment of the export duty until the matter is decided by the court. An order was granted effective September 29, 2010 to cease payment of the export duty on silver concentrates pending the decision of the court. In April 2011, a government appeal against this order was denied, and the government has appealed this decision.

     

As of March 31, 2012, the Pirquitas mine has paid $6,646,000 in duties against which it has filed for recovery. In accordance with the order to cease payment the Company has not been paying export duties on silver concentrates, but continues to accrue duties in full until the outcome of the claim is known with certainty. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, duties on silver concentrates of $3,622,000 (three months ended March 31, 2011 - $3,853,000) have been included in cost of sales, and as of March 31, 2012, the accrual totalled $15,911,000 (December 31, 2011 - $13,101,000). If this export duty is successfully overturned, the benefit will be recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the full amount of paid and unpaid duty in the period that recovery becomes virtually certain.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

     

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the information used by the President and Chief Executive Officer (who is considered to be the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”)) to manage the business. The Company primarily manages its business by looking at individual extractive projects and typically segregates them between production, development and exploration. For reporting purposes all exploration and development projects have been aggregated into a single reportable segment ‘exploration and development’ because they all have similar characteristics and none exceed the quantitative thresholds for individual disclosure. The only production property, Pirquitas, is considered a single operating segment which derives its revenues from the sale of silver and zinc concentrates. The corporate division only earns income that is considered incidental to the activities of the Company and therefore does not meet the definition of an operating segment.

     

The following reporting segments have been identified:

     
  •  
  • Pirquitas mine

         
  •  
  • Exploration and development properties

         

    The following is a summary of the carrying amounts of income or loss, and segment assets and liabilities by operating segment:

    EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

       

    On May 3, 2012, Pretium announced a prospectus offering of up to 5,554,500 common shares, in which the Company has elected not to participate. This share issuance by Pretium (which had not closed as of May 8, 2012) would result in a dilution of the Company’s interest to 20.27%.
