INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE

   

Investment in associate comprises 18,985,807 (December 31, 2011 – 24,633,333) common shares of Pretium Resources Inc. (“Pretium”), which constitutes an ownership interest of 20.02% (December 31, 2011 – 28.39%). Activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2011 was as follows:


      September 30, 2012     December 31, 2011  
    $   $  
  Carrying amount, beginning of period   136,342     226,271  
  Partial disposition (note 7)   (33,052 )   (82,138 )
  Dilution gain (1, 2, 3)   15,839     1,803  
  Share of net loss   (2,603 )   (6,078 )
  Share of other comprehensive income (loss)   5,664     (3,516 )
  Carrying amount, end of period   122,190     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 (other expenses) (note 11).
(2) On May 9, 2012, Pretium completed a prospectus offering of 5,554,500 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 5.93% and a dilution gain of $9,034,000 which was recognized in other income (other expenses) (note 11).
(3) On August 24, 2012, Pretium completed a second private placement of 1,150,000 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 1.21% and a dilution gain of $2,580,000 which was recognized in other income (other expenses) (note 11).

VALUE ADDED TAX RECEIVABLE


      September 30,     December 31,  
      2012     2011  
    $   $  
  Current   35,161     1,482  
  Non-current   35,776     89,160  
      70,937     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 or operations. If the Company ultimately recovers the amounts that have been deferred, the amount received will be applied to reduce mineral property costs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reclassified VAT from non-current assets to trade and other receivables, based upon expected recoveries within one year of the statement of financial position date.

WARRANT LIABILITY

   

As part of a 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 fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).

   

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an aggregate of 5,677,526 warrants were exercised for proceeds of C$70,969,000, resulting in a gain on disposal of the underlying investment of $49,082,000. 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 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 in favor of Mina Pirquitas effective September 29, 2010 to cease paying the export duty on silver and tin concentrates pending the court’s decision on the legality of the export duty. In April 2012, the federal government appealed this decision. In regards to Mina Pirquitas’ challenge on the legality of the export duty, in August 2012, the federal court rejected the government’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit on the grounds that Mina Pirquitas did not stipulate the refundable amount. The federal government has also appealed this decision.

     
 

Up until the order to cease payment was granted in 2010, the Pirquitas mine had paid $6,646,000 in duties against which it has filed for recovery. In accordance with this order 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012, duties on silver concentrates of $12,276,000 (nine months ended September 30, 2011 - $9,449,000) have been included in cost of sales, and as of September 30, 2012, the accrual totalled $25,804,000 (December 31, 2011 - $13,101,000). If this export duty is successfully overturned, the benefit will be recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) 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 properties’ 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; and

         
  • 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:
