The Company is currently conducting exploration and evaluation activities on the following properties: (i)Tlacolula Property On August 2, 2017, the Company completed a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Radius Gold Inc. to acquire the Tlacolula gold property (the “Property”) for total consideration of $1,328, comprising of $150 cash and the issuance of 239,385 common shares valued at $1,128.

﻿ (b) Lindero Gold Project ﻿ On July 28, 2016, Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. acquired all the issued and outstanding common shares of Goldrock Mines Corp. ("Goldrock"), a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, by issuing 14,569,045 common shares and 1,514,677 warrants, exercisable at C$6.01 per common share and expiring on October 31, 2018. Goldrock's principal asset is the 100% owned Lindero Gold Project located in Salta Province, Argentina. This acquisition has been accounted for as an asset purchase, as Goldrock Mines Corp. and its subsidiaries did not meet the definition of a business as defined in IFRS 3 «Business Combinations». ﻿ The following summarizes the consideration paid and estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed: ﻿ ﻿
﻿ |  |  |  |  |  |
﻿Consideration: |  |  |  |  |  |
﻿14,569,045 common shares of the Company |  |  |  |  | $ | 122,813
﻿1,514,677 warrants |  |  |  |  |  | 7,401
﻿Costs of the transaction |  |  | 8,226 |  |  |
﻿Cash of Goldrock received |  |  | (528) |  |  |
﻿Costs of the transaction paid by Goldrock prior to closing |  |  | (2,822) |  |  | 4,876
﻿ |  |  |  |  | $ | 135,090
﻿ |  |  |  |  |  |
﻿Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: |  |  |  |  |  |
﻿Accounts receivable |  |  |  |  | $ | 249
﻿Machinery and Equipment |  |  |  |  |  | 6,954
﻿Accounts payable |  |  |  |  |  | (700)
﻿Closure and rehabilitation provisions |  |  |  |  |  | (100)
﻿Lindero Gold Project |  |  |  |  |  | 128,687
﻿ |  |  |  |  | $ | 135,090
﻿ The cash used for the purchase of the Lindero Gold Project was as follows: ﻿ ﻿
﻿ |  |  |  |  |  |
﻿Total consideration |  |  |  |  | $ | 135,090
﻿less: Non-cash issuance of common shares |  |  |  |  |  | (122,813)
﻿less: Non-cash issuance of warrants |  |  |  |  |  | (7,401)
﻿ |  |  |  |  | $ | 4,876
﻿Comprising: |  |  |  |  |  |
﻿Cash transaction costs |  |  |  |  | $ | 5,404
﻿less: Cash of Goldrock received |  |  |  |  |  | (528)
﻿ |  |  |  |  | $ | 4,876
The consideration was determined based on the fair value of the Company’s shares at the closing date of the acquisition, plus the estimated fair value of warrants issued and transaction costs incurred. The warrants were accounted for under IFRS 2 «Share-based Payment», and are treated as equity settled share-based payments. The corresponding credit has been recorded in equity. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. ﻿ On September 21, 2017, the Board of Directors approved the construction of the Lindero Gold Project, and the expenditures related to this project are no longer classified as an exploration and evaluation asset.
