(1)The 2022 additions to the valuation allowance result from additional losses incurred and increases to other tax assets such as mineral property, reclamation obligations and deferred revenue. The 2021 additions to the valuation allowance result from additional losses incurred and increases to other tax assets such as reclamation obligations. Management does not feel either the 2022 or 2021 additions meet the more-likely-than-not criterion for recognition.
(2)The reductions to the valuation allowance in 2022 result primarily from the decreases to other tax assets such as inventories. The 2021 reductions to the valuation allowance result primarily from the decreases to other tax assets such as property, plant and equipment and mineral properties.
