Fortuna Silver Mines Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

(Unaudited - Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)

1.   NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (the “Company”) is a publicly traded company incorporated and domiciled in British Columbia, Canada.

The Company is engaged in precious and base metal mining and related activities in Argentina, Burkina Faso, Mexico, Peru, and Côte d’Ivoire. The Company operates the open pit Lindero gold mine (“Lindero”) in northern Argentina, the underground Yaramoko gold mine (“Yaramoko”) in south western Burkina Faso, the underground San Jose silver and gold mine (“San Jose”) in southern Mexico, the underground Caylloma silver, lead, and zinc mine (“Caylloma”) in southern Peru, and is developing the open pit Séguéla gold mine (“Séguéla”) in south western Côte d’Ivoire.

The Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol FSM and on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol FVI.

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

2.   COVID-19 UNCERTAINTIES

During third quarter of 2022, there were no shutdowns or material impacts to the business related to COVID-19. The Company continues to monitor the evolution of COVID-19 and our operations maintain preventative and reactive health protocols including health awareness, health and hygiene controls and quarantine as necessary.

The Company’s operations and financial performance are dependent on it being able to operate at each of its mines and projects.  In view of the constantly changing situation regarding COVID-19 pandemic, including further waves of the virus and the emergence of variant forms of the virus, it is difficult to predict the exact nature and extent of the impact the pandemic may have on the Company’s operations and its business. Outbreaks of COVID-19 in areas where the Company operates or restrictive directives of government and public health authorities could cause delays or disruptions in the Company’s supply chain, restrict access to its mine sites, restrict its ability to transport and ship gold doré and/or metal concentrates, restrict access to processing and refinery facilities, or impediments to market logistics. Suspensions of operations or curtailment of construction activities at the Company’s mines remains a significant risk to its business and operations.

3.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which include information necessary for understanding the Company’s business and financial presentation.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements.

On November 9, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved these interim financial statements for issuance.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

(Unaudited - Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)

Basis of Measurement

These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value (Note 23) at the end of each reporting period.

Adoption of new accounting standards

The Company adopted various amendments to IFRS, which were effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The impact of adoption was not significant to the Company's interim financial statements.

4.   USE OF ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS, AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the period end date and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Such judgements and estimates are, by their nature, uncertain. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

The impact of such judgements and estimates are pervasive throughout the interim financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. These judgements and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and are accounted for prospectively.

In preparing these interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company applied the critical estimates, and judgements as disclosed in note 4 of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

(Unaudited - Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $1.3 million of realized losses on the settlement of forward sale and collar contracts (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 - $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively), and $1.6 million unrealized loss and $1.4 million unrealized gains, from changes in the fair value of the open positions (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 – $2.5 million unrealized loss and $1.7 million unrealized gain, respectively).

months ended September 30, 2022, totaling $0.1 million net loss and $0.5 million net income, respectively, is based on the net income (loss) for Yaramoko.

As at September 30, 2022, the NCI of the Government of Côte d’Ivoire, which represents a 10% interest in Roxgold Sango S.A. totaled $41.7 million. The loss attributable to the NCI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, totaling $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, is based on the net loss for Séguéla.

26.   CONTINGENCIES AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

(a)    Caylloma Letter of Guarantee

The Caylloma mine closure plan, as amended, that was in effect in January 2021, included total undiscounted closure costs of $11.4 million, which consisted of progressive closure activities of $3.5 million, final closure activities of $7.2 million, and post closure activities of $0.8 million pursuant to the terms of the Mine Closing Law.

 

Under the terms of the current Mine Closing Law, the Company is required to provide the Peruvian Government with a guarantee in respect of the Caylloma mine closure plan as it relates to final closure activities and post-closure activities and related taxes. In 2022, the Company provided a bank letter of guarantee of $10.8 million to the Peruvian Government in respect of such closure costs and taxes.

(b)    San Jose Letter of Guarantee

The Company has established three letters of guarantee in the aggregate amount of $0.8 million to fulfill its environmental obligations under the terms and conditions of the Environmental Impact Statements issued by the Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (“SEMARNAT”) in 2009 in respect of the construction of the San Jose mine, and in 2017 and 2020 with respect to the expansion of the dry stack tailings facility at the San Jose mine. The letters of guarantee expire on December 31, 2023, March 5, 2023, and September 17, 2023, respectively.

(c)    Other Commitments

As at September 30, 2022, the Company had capital commitments of $8.0 million, $2.8 million and $0.7 million for civil work, equipment purchases and other services at the Lindero, Caylloma and San Jose Mines, respectively, which are expected to be expended within one year.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had capital commitments of $25.5 million for the construction of the Séguéla Mine, with $20.3 million expected to be expended within one year.

The Company entered into an agreement with a service provider at the Yaramoko mine wherein if the Company terminates the agreement prior to the end of its term, the Company would be required to make an early termination payment, which is reduced monthly over 30 months, and in certain circumstances, could be required to make other payments that will be negotiated between the Company and the service provider. If the Company had terminated the agreement at September 30, 2022 it would have been subject to an early termination payment of $2.9 million.

(d)    Tax Contingencies

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various tax assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of these actions. The Company has recognised tax provisions with respect to current assessments received from the tax authorities in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and from any uncertain tax positions identified. For those amounts recognised related

Fortuna Silver Mines Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

(Unaudited - Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)

to current tax assessments received, the provision is based on management's best estimate of the outcome of those assessments, based on the validity of the issues in the assessment, management's support for their position, and the expectation with respect to any negotiations to settle the assessment. Management re-evaluates the outstanding tax assessments regularly to update their estimates related to the outcome for those assessments taking into account the criteria above.

Peru

The Company was assessed $1.1 million (4.3 million Peruvian soles), including interest and penalties of $0.6 million (2.4 million Peruvian soles), for the 2010 tax year by SUNAT, the Peruvian tax authority, with respect to the deduction of certain losses arising from derivative instruments.  The Company has applied to the Peruvian tax court to appeal the assessment.

On January 22, 2019, the Peruvian tax court reaffirmed SUNAT’s position and denied the deduction. The Company believes the assessment is inconsistent with Peruvian tax law and that it is probable the Company will succeed on appeal through the Peruvian legal system. The Company has paid the disputed amount in full and has initiated proceedings through the Peruvian legal system to appeal the decision of the Peruvian tax court.

As at September 30, 2022, the Company has recorded the amount paid of $1.1 million (4.3 million Peruvian soles) in other long-term assets, as the Company believes it is probable that the appeal will be successful (Note 9).

Argentina

On August 16, 2022, the Argentine Tax Authority (“AFIP”) published General Resolution No.5248/2022 (the “Resolution”) which established a one-time “windfall income tax prepayment” for companies that have obtained extraordinary income derived from the general increase in international prices. The Resolution was published by AFIP without prior notice.

The windfall income tax prepayment applies to companies that meet certain income tax or net income tax (before the deduction of accumulated tax losses) thresholds for 2021 or 2022. The aggregate amount of the windfall income tax prepayment payable by Mansfield calculated in accordance with the Resolution is approximately $5.5 to $6 million.

The windfall income tax prepayment is to be paid in three equal and consecutive monthly instalments, starting on October 22, 2022, and is payable in addition to income tax instalments currently being paid by corporate taxpayers on account of their income tax obligations. The windfall income tax prepayment is an advance payment of income taxes due to be paid in 2023.

Based on the historical accumulated losses of Mansfield for fiscal 2021 which can be carried forward for 2022, Mansfield was not liable for income tax, and based upon current corporate income tax laws and the ability of the Company to deduct historical accumulated losses, it is projected that no income tax will be required to be paid for fiscal 2022.

To protect Mansfield’s position from having to pay the windfall income tax prepayment as an advance income tax for 2023, which based on management’s projections is not payable, Mansfield applied to the Federal Court of Salta Province for a preliminary injunction to prevent the AFIP from issuing a demand or other similar measure for the collection of the Windfall Income Tax Prepayment.  On October 3, 2022, Mansfield was notified that the Court had granted the preliminary injunction. As a result, Mansfield did not pay the instalment due on October 22, 2022.  In

addition, Mansfield also filed an administrative claim with the AFIP to challenge the constitutionality of the Resolution, which was rejected by AFIP on November 2, 2022. 

Mansfield intends to protect its position and challenge the rejection of its administrative claim, by filing legal proceedings against the AFIP with the Federal Court. In addition, Mansfield has requested that the preliminary injunction previously obtained remain in effect. It is expected that the Court will make a determination on the maintenance of the injunction within the next 10 days. In the event, that the Court does not maintain the injunction, the Company will file for a new injunction concurrent with the filing of the legal proceedings in the Federal Court.

(e)    Other Contingencies

The Company is subject to various investigations and other claims, legal, labor, and tax proceedings covering matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably for the Company. Certain conditions may exist as of the date these interim financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company. None of these matters is expected to have a material effect on the results of operations or financial conditions of the Company.
