Operating Segments [Abstract] |
OPERATING SEGMENTS | OPERATING SEGMENTS We are a resource company focused on the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal resource properties located in the Americas. An operating segment is defined as a component:
▪ | that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;
▪ | whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s chief operating decision maker; and
▪ | for which discrete financial information is available.
We have identified operating segments based on the information used by our President and Chief Executive Officer (who is considered to be the chief operating decision maker) to manage the business. We primarily manage our business by looking at individual resource projects and typically segregate these projects between production, development and exploration. For reporting purposes, exploration and evaluation projects have been aggregated into a single reportable segment as they all have similar characteristics and do not exceed the quantitative thresholds for individual disclosure. We have assessed that all exploration and evaluation segments have similar characteristics as they are engaged in similar activities (mineral exploration) and none of the segments are income-producing. Our three operating properties, the Marigold mine, the Seabee Gold Operation and the Puna Operations, are considered as individual operating segments which derive their revenues from the sale precious metals. The corporate division earns income that is considered incidental to our activities and therefore does not meet the definition of an operating segment. Consequently, the following reporting segments have been identified:
▪ | Marigold mine;
▪ | Seabee Gold Operation;
▪ | Puna Operations; and
▪ | Exploration and evaluation properties.
21. OPERATING SEGMENTS (Continued) Following the formation of the Puna Operations joint venture (note 3), the Pirquitas property was combined with the Chinchillas project into the Puna Operations operating segment and the segment has been amended accordingly. The following is a summary of the reported amounts of income or loss, and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities by operating segment:

21. | OPERATING SEGMENTS (Continued)
Revenue by product Our Marigold mine and Seabee Gold Operation produce gold in doré form. This is unrefined gold bullion bars usually consisting of in excess of 90% gold that is refined to pure gold bullion prior to sale to our customers, which are typically bullion banks. Puna Operations produces silver concentrate, which is sold to smelters or traders for further refining. During 2017, one concentrate customer accounted for 7% (2016 - 15%) of our total revenue.
