​ The Company reviews the measurement of its deferred tax assets at each Consolidated Balance Sheet date. On the basis of available information at December 31, 2024, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for certain of its deferred assets where the Company believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all of such assets will not be realized. The table below summarizes changes to the valuation allowance: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Balance at | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Balance at
For the year ended December 31, |  | beginning of year | ​ | Additions (1) |  | Deductions (2) |  | ​ | end of year
2024 | ​ | $ | 130,002 | ​ | $ | 2,780 | ​ | $ | (386) | ​ | $ | 132,396
2023 | ​ | ​ | 149,342 | ​ | ​ | 3,391 | ​ | ​ | (22,731) | ​ | ​ | 130,002
2022 | ​ | ​ | 149,921 | ​ | ​ | 6,600 | ​ | ​ | (7,179) | ​ | ​ | 149,342
​
(1) | The additions to valuation allowance mainly result from the Company and its subsidiaries incurring losses and exploration expenses for tax purposes that do not meet the more-likely-than-not criterion for recognition of deferred tax assets.
(2) | The reductions to valuation allowance mainly result from release of valuation allowance in Canada and Argentina.
The following table summarizes the Company’s losses that can be applied against future taxable profit: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Country |  | Type of Loss |  | Amount |  | Expiry Period
United States (1) | ​ | Net operating losses | ​ | $ | 199,400 | ​ | 2027-Unlimited
Mexico | ​ | Net operating losses | ​ | ​ | 54,163 | ​ | 2025-2034
Canada (1) | ​ | Net operating losses | ​ | ​ | 11,380 | ​ | 2026-2042
Argentina (1) | ​ | Net operating losses | ​ | ​ | 503 | ​ | 2024-2028
​
(1) | The losses in the United States, Canada, and Argentina are part of multiple consolidating groups and, therefore, may be restricted in use to specific projects.
​ The Company or its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina. These tax returns are subject to examination by local taxation authorities provided the tax years remain open to audit under the relevant statute of limitations. The following summarizes the open tax years by major jurisdiction: ​ United States: 2019 to 2024 Canada: 2015 to 2024 Mexico: 2018 to 2024 Argentina: 2018 to 2024
