As at March 31, 2022, the total undiscounted amount of estimated cash flows required to settle the Company’s environmental rehabilitation provision was $12.3 million (March 31, 2021 - $10.5 million) over the next twenty-five years, which has been discounted using an average discount rate of 3.01% (March 31, 2021 – 3.39%). During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred actual reclamation expenditures of $0.5 million (year ended March 31, 2021 - $0.2 million), paid reclamation deposit of $0.3 million (year ended March 31, 2021 - $0.5 million) and received nil reclamation deposit refund (year ended March 31, 2021 - $1.9 million). Estimated future reclamation costs are based on the extent of work required and the associated costs are dependent on the requirements of relevant authorities and the Company’s environmental policies. In view of uncertainties concerning environmental rehabilitation obligations, the ultimate costs could be materially different from the amounts estimated.
