FORTUNA SILVER MINES INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013

(All amounts in US$’000’s unless otherwise stated)

_______________________________________________________________________________


1.

Corporate Information


Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (“Fortuna” or the “Company”) is engaged in silver mining and related activities in Latin America, including exploration, extraction, and processing. The Company operates the Caylloma silver, lead, and zinc mine (“Caylloma”) in southern Peru and the San Jose silver and gold mine (“San Jose”) in southern Mexico.  


Fortuna is a publicly traded company incorporated and domiciled in Canada. Its common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol FSM; on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Lima Stock Exchange, both under the trading symbol FVI; and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol F4S.F.


The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 650, 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3L6.


2.

Basis of Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


a)

Statement of Compliance


These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).  The policies applied in these Financial Statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued and effective as at September 30, 2014.  The Board of Directors approved these financial statements for issue on November 10, 2014.  


The Financial Statements of the Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 have been prepared by management.  The Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.  The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial presentation.  In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were presented in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements, except for adoption of IAS 32, IFRIC 21, IAS 36, IFRS 2, and IFRS 3 described below in Note 2 g).


b)

Basis of Consolidation


These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions, balances, revenues, and expenses have been eliminated upon consolidation.


Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company.  Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities.  Control is normally achieved through ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting power.  Control can also be achieved through power over more than half the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other investors or through the exercise of de facto control.

Basis of Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


b)

Basis of Consolidation (continued)


For non-wholly owned subsidiaries, the net assets attributable to outside equity shareholders are presented as “non-controlling interests” in the equity section of the consolidated statements of financial position. Net income for the period that is attributable to non-controlling interests is calculated based on the ownership of the minority shareholders in the subsidiary.


Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control.  The principal subsidiaries of the Company and their geographic locations at September 30, 2014 were as follows:

c)

Revenue Recognition


Revenue arising from the sale of metal concentrates is recognized when title or the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the concentrates have been transferred to the buyer.  The passing of title to the customer is based on the terms of the sales contract.  Final commodity prices are set in a period subsequent to the date of sale based on a specified quotational period, either one, two, or three months after delivery.  The Company’s metal concentrates are provisionally priced at the time of sale based on the prevailing market price.


Variations between the price recorded at the delivery date and the final price set under the sales contracts are caused by changes in market prices, and result in an embedded derivative in accounts receivable.  The embedded derivative is recorded at fair value each period until final settlement occurs, with changes in fair value classified as provisional price adjustments and included in sales in the consolidated statement of income.  Sales of metal concentrates are net of refining and treatment charges.


Revenues from metal concentrate sales are subject to adjustment upon final settlement of metals prices, weights, and assays as of a date that is typically one, two, or three months after the delivery date.  Typically, the adjustment is based on an inspection of the concentrate by the customer and in certain cases an inspection by a third party.  The Company records adjustments to revenues monthly based on quoted spot prices for the expected settlement period.  Adjustments for weights and assays are recorded when results are determinable or on final settlement.

d)

Asset Impairment


Assets are reviewed and tested for impairment when an indicator of impairment is considered to exist.  An assessment of impairment indicators is performed at each reporting period or whenever indicators arise. Even with no indicators present, the Company will test an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life or an intangible asset not yet available for use for impairment at least annually. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.  The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell (“FVLCTS”) and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows or cash generating units.  These are typically individual mines or development projects.  Brownfields exploration projects, located close to existing mine infrastructure, are assessed for impairment as part of the associated mine cash generating unit.


Fair value models are used to determine the recoverable amount of cash generating units. When the recoverable amount is assessed using pre-tax discounted cash flow techniques, the resulting estimates are based on detailed mine and/or production plans.  For value in use, recent cost levels are considered, together with expected changes in costs that are compatible with the current condition of the business. The cash flow forecasts are based on best estimates of expected future revenues and costs, including the future cash costs of production, sustaining capital expenditure and reclamation and closures costs.


Where a fair value less cost to sell model is used the cash flow forecast includes net cash flows expected to be realized from extraction, processing and sale of mineral resources that do not currently qualify for inclusion in proven or probable reserves and the portion of resources expected to be extracted economically.


Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount, but not beyond the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years.  A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized into earnings immediately.


e)

Fair Value Measurement


Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.  The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  Refer to Note 13. a).

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates


The preparation of these Financial Statements requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these judgments and estimates. The Financial Statements include judgments and estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such judgments and estimates are pervasive throughout the Financial Statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and the revision affects both current and future periods.


Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of judgments and estimates that management has made at the statement of financial position date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:


i.

Critical Judgments


·

The analysis of the functional currency for each entity of the Company.  In concluding that the United States dollar functional currency for its Peruvian and Mexican entities and the Canadian and Barbados entities have a Canadian dollar functional currency, management considered the currency that mainly influences the cost of providing goods and services in each jurisdiction in which the Company operates.  As no single currency was clearly dominant the Company also considered secondary indicators including the currency in which funds from financing activities are denominated and the currency in which funds are retained.

·

In concluding when commercial production has been achieved, the Company considered the following factors:

·

all major capital expenditures to bring the mine to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management have been completed;

·

the mine or mill is operating as per design capacity and metallurgical recoveries were achieved; and,

·

the ability to sustain ongoing production of ore at a steady or increasing level.

·

The identification of reportable segments, basis for measurement and disclosure of the segmented information.

·

The determination of estimated useful lives and residual values of tangible and long lived assets and the measurement of depreciation expense.

·

The identification of impairment indicators, cash generating units and determination of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell and the write down of tangible and long lived assets.

·

Measurement of financial instruments involve significant judgments related to interpretation of the terms of the instrument, identification, classification, impairment and the overall measurement to approximate fair values.

Significant Changes Including Initial Adoption of Accounting Standards


The Company has adopted the following accounting standards along with any consequential amendments, effective January 1, 2014:


IAS 32 Financial Instruments - Presentation in Respect of Offsetting (Amendment); IFRIC 21 - Levies; and, IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets - Amendments for Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Asset.


The Company has adopted the following amendments, effective July 1, 2014:


IFRS 2 Share-based Payment - Definition of vesting condition (Amendment)

The amendment to IFRS 2 provides the definitions of vesting condition and market condition and adds definitions for performance condition and service condition.  The amendment is effective for transactions with a grant date on or after July 1, 2014.


IFRS 3 Business Combinations – Contingent consideration (Amendment)

The amendment to IFRS 3 requires contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability to be measured at fair value at each reporting date. The amendment is effective for transactions with acquisition dates on or after July 1, 2014.


The Company has adopted the above amendments which did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.


h)

New Accounting Standards


The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting the following new accounting standards, noted below, on the Company’s Financial Statements.


IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, and IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011)(Amendment)

On September 11, 2014, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, and IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011). The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28 (2011), in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. The amendments will be effective from annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2016.

h)

New Accounting Standards (continued)


IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (Amendment)

The amendment to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements adds new guidance on how to account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business. The amendments specify the appropriate accounting treatment for such acquisitions.  The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with earlier application permitted.  Transactions before the adoption date are grandfathered.


IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets (Amendment)

The amendment to IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment and IAS 38 Intangible assets on depreciation and amortisation clarifies that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. The amendment also clarified that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. The amendment is effective for annual period starting on or after January 1, 2016, with earlier application permitted.


IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers specifies how and when revenue should be recognized as well as requiring more informative and relevant disclosures. The standard supersedes IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and a number of revenue-related interpretations. Application of the standard is mandatory and it applies to nearly all contracts with customers: the main exceptions are leases, financial instruments and insurance contracts.   IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2017, with earlier application permitted.


IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Classification and Measurement

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments: IFRS 9 introduces the new requirements for the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities.  The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier application permitted.


IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Hedge Accounting and amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS 7 and IAS 39) (Amendment)

The amendment to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which includes the new hedge accounting requirements and some related amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments; Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments; Disclosures.  IFRS 9 (2013) also replicates the amendments in IAS 39 in respect of novations. The amendments allow for early adoption of the requirement to present fair value changes due to own credit on liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss to be presented in other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier application permitted.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Expected Credit Losses

On 24 July 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, bringing together the classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.  Entities will also have the option to early apply the accounting for own credit risk-related fair value gains and losses arising on financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss without applying the other requirements of IFRS 9.

a)

Tlacolula Property


Pursuant to an agreement dated September 14, 2009, as amended December 18, 2012, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cuzcatlan, was granted an option (the “Option”) to acquire a 60% interest (the “Interest”) in the Tlacolula silver project (“property”) located in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, from Radius Gold Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary, Radius (Cayman) Inc. (“Radius”) (a related party by way of directors in common with the Company described further in Note 7. a)).


The Company can earn the Interest by spending $2,000, which includes a commitment to drill 1,500 meters within 12 months after Cuzcatlan has received a permit to drill the property, and by making staged annual payments totalling $250 cash and providing $250 in common shares of the Company to Radius according to the following schedule:


Ø

$20 cash and $20 cash equivalent in shares upon stock exchange approval;

Ø

$30 cash and $30 cash equivalent in shares by January 15, 2011;

Ø

$50 cash and $50 cash equivalent in shares by January 15, 2012;

Ø

$50 cash and $50 cash equivalent in shares by January 15, 2013; and,

Ø

$100 cash and $100 cash equivalent in shares within 90 days after Cuzcatlan has completed the first 1,500 meters of drilling on the property.

a)

Tlacolula Property (continued)


Upon completion of the cash payments and share issuances and incurring the exploration expenditures as set forth above, the Company will be deemed to have exercised the Option and to have acquired a 60% interest in the property, whereupon a joint venture will be formed to further develop the property on the basis of the Company owning 60% and Radius 40%.

 

As at September 30, 2014, the Company had issued an aggregate of 34,589 (2013: 34,589) common shares of the Company, with a fair market value of $150 (2013: $150), and paid $150 (2013: $150) cash according to the terms of the option agreement.


b)

San Luisito Concessions


On February 26, 2013, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cuzcatlan, was granted an option with a third party on concessions in the San Luisito Project, Sonora, Mexico and made a cash payment of $50.  During the second quarter of 2013, upon completion of the exploration program and given the current economic environment, the Company abandoned its interest in the option agreement resulting in a write-off of $376. Additional costs of $125 and $69 were written off in Q3 2013 and Q4 2013, respectively for a total write-off of $570.


c)

Taviche Oeste Concession


On February 4, 2013, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cuzcatlan, acquired, through an option agreement with Plata Pan American S.A. de C.V. (“Plata”, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pan American Silver Corp.), a 55% undivided interest in the 6,254-hectare Taviche Oeste Concession (“concession”) immediately surrounding the San Jose Mine in Oaxaca, Mexico.  The Company made a cash payment of $4.0 million. On June 19, 2013, the Company made the final $6.0 million cash payment to purchase the remaining 45% undivided interest in the concession.


The concession is subject to a 2.5% net smelter royalty on ore production from this property.


d)

Caylloma Property


Assets are reviewed and tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows or cash generating units. The Company has determined that the Caylloma property represents a cash generating unit within the Peru geographic region.

Caylloma Property (continued)


The recoverable amounts of the Company’s cash generating units (“CGUs”), which include mineral properties, plant and equipment are determined on an annual basis, or where facts and circumstances provide impairment indicators. The recoverable amounts are based on each CGUs future after-tax cash flows expected to be derived from the Company’s mineral properties and represent each CGUs FVLCTS. The after-tax cash flows are determined based on life-of-mine (“LOM”) after-tax cash flow projections which incorporate management’s best estimates of future metal prices, production based on current estimates of recoverable reserves and resources, exploration potential, future operating costs and non-expansionary capital expenditures. Projected cash flow are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital. Management’s estimate of the FVLCTS of its CGUs is classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  


For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company performed an annual review of the recoverable amounts of its CGUs and recognized a $20,400, net of tax ($30,000, before tax) impairment charge, on the carrying value of net assets of $78,064, in respect to the Company’s investment in Caylloma, which was driven by a reduction in silver prices. The impairment charge was allocated on a pro rata basis against the net book value of the mineral properties, plant and equipment of $79,413.


For December 31, 2013 the key assumptions used for fair value less cost to sell calculations were as follows:

Expected future cash flows to determine the FVLCTS in the impairment testing of non-current assets are inherently uncertain and could materially change over time. The cash flows are significantly affected by a number of factors including estimates of production levels, operating costs, and capital expenditures reflected in the Company’s life of mine plans, as well as economic factors beyond management’s control, such as silver and gold prices, discount rates, and observable net asset valuation multiples. Should management’s estimate of the future not reflect actual events, further impairments or reversals of impairments may be identified.

In view of the uncertainties concerning environmental reclamation, the ultimate cost of reclamation activities could differ materially from the estimated amount recorded.  The estimate of the Company’s decommissioning and restoration liability relating to the Caylloma and San Jose mine is subject to change based on amendments to laws and regulations and as new information regarding the Company’s operations becomes available.


Future changes, if any, to the estimated liability as a result of amended requirements, laws, regulations, operating assumptions, estimated timing and amount of obligations may be significant and would be recognized prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.  Any such change would result in an increase or decrease to the liability and a corresponding increase or decrease to the mineral properties, plant and equipment balance. Adjustments to the carrying amounts of the related mineral properties, plant and equipment balance can result in a change to the future depletion expense.

b)

Share Options


Shareholder approval of the Company’s Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), dated April 11, 2011, was obtained at the Company’s annual general meeting held on May 26, 2011.  The Plan provides that the number of common shares of the Company issuable under the Plan, together with all of the  Company’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, may not exceed 12,200,000 shares, which equals 9.92% of the current total number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, as at April 11, 2011.  


Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the estimate of the share price volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected life of the options.  Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Capital Disclosure


The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to provide shareholder returns through maximization of the profitable growth of the business and to maintain a degree of financial flexibility relevant to the underlying operating and metal price risks while safeguarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  


The capital of the Company consists of equity and available credit facility, net of cash.  The Board of Directors has not established a quantitative return on capital criteria for management.  The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.


The management of the Company believes that the capital resources of the Company as at September 30, 2014, are sufficient for its present needs for at least the next 12 months.  The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Capital Disclosure (continued)


The Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remained unchanged during the year.


13.

Management of Financial Risk


The Company is exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest risk, and price risk.  The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.


a)

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments


Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.  The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (interest rate, yield curves), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there have been no transfers of amounts between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Management of Financial Risk (continued)


b)

Currency Risk


The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates.  The Company operates in Canada, Peru and Mexico and a portion of its expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, nuevo soles, and Mexican pesos.  A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the United States dollar relative to the other currencies could have a material effect on the Company’s income, financial position, or cash flows.  The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.  


As at September 30, 2014, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars, nuevo soles and Mexican pesos (all amounts are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, thousands of nuevo soles or thousands of Mexican pesos):

Based on the above net exposure as at September 30, 2014, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the US dollar against the above currencies would result in an increase or decrease, as follows: impact to other comprehensive income of $94 (2013: $308) and a net loss of $2,766 (2013: net loss $1,489).


c)

Credit Risk


Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.  The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short term investments are held through large Canadian, international, and foreign national financial institutions.  These investments mature at various dates within one year.  All of the Company’s trade accounts receivables from concentrate sales are held with large international metals trading companies.

d)

Liquidity Risk


Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.  The Company manages liquidity risk by continuing to monitor forecasted and actual cash flows.  The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its development plans.  The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations, its holdings of cash, short term investments, and its committed liabilities.


The Company expects the following maturities of its financial liabilities (including interest), finance leases, and other contractual commitments:

Management of Financial Risk (continued)


d)

Liquidity Risk (continued)


On April 23, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia for a $40 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“credit facility”) to be refinanced or repaid on or within three years or before April 22, 2016.  The credit facility is secured by a first ranking lien on Bateas, Cuzcatlan, Continuum, and Barbados, and their assets and bears interest and fees at prevailing market rates. In the event that utilization under the credit facility is less than $10 million, a commitment fee of 1.0% per annum is payable quarterly on the unutilized portion of the available credit facility.  No funds were drawn from this credit facility.  


e)

Interest Rate Risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.  The risk that the Company will realize a loss as a result of a decline in the fair value is limited because the balances are generally held with major financial institutions in demand deposit accounts.


A 10% change in interest rates would cause a $6 change in income on an annualized basis.


f)

Metal Price Risk


The Company is exposed to metals price risk with respect to silver, gold, zinc, and lead sold through its mineral concentrate products.  As a matter of policy, the Company does not hedge its silver production.


14.

Segmented Information


All of the Company’s operations are within the mining sector, conducted through operations in three countries.  Due to geographic and political diversity, the Company’s mining operations are decentralized whereby management are responsible for achieving specified business results within a framework of global policies and standards.  Country corporate offices provide support infrastructure to the mine in addressing local and country issues including financial, human resources, and exploration support.  


Products are silver, gold, lead, zinc and copper produced from mines in Peru and Mexico, as operated by Bateas and Cuzcatlan, respectively.  Segments have been aggregated where operations in specific regions have similar products, production processes, types of customers and economic environment.


The Company’s operating segments are based on the reports reviewed by the senior management group that are used to make strategic decisions.  The Chief Executive Officer considers the business from a geographic perspective considering the performance of the Company’s business units.  The segment information for the reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
