Corporate Information And Statement Of IFRS Compliance [Abstract]
MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL	MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL The Company manages its share capital and equity settled employee benefits reserve as capital, the balance of which is $369.5 million at December 31, 2022 ($363.9 million at December 31, 2021). The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going-concern in order to pursue the exploration and development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, acquire or dispose of assets or acquire new debt. In order to maximize ongoing exploration and development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company's investment policy is to invest its short-term excess cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with short-term maturities, selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. To effectively manage its capital requirements, the Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. In connection with the financing described in Note 26 of these Financial Statements, the Company expects it will have sufficient capital to carry out its development, exploration and evaluation plans through 2023.
