Closure and reclamation provisions represent the present value of reclamation costs related to mine and development sites. There have been no significant changes in requirements, laws, regulations, operating assumptions, estimated timing and amount of reclamation and closure obligations during the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the Lindero Project, where the Company estimates reclamation and closure cost based on the progress of the mine construction.
