Credit-risk-related Contingent Features Cross Default. The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. Material adverse change. Certain of the Company's agreements with its derivative counterparties contain provisions where if a specified event or condition occurs that materially changes the Company's creditworthiness in an adverse manner, the Company may be required to fully collateralize its obligations under the derivative instrument. Incorporation of loan covenants. The Company has an agreement with a derivative counterparty that incorporates the loan covenant provisions of the Company's indebtedness with a lender affiliate of the derivative counterparty. Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in the Company being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement. Metal Sales In order to physically deliver the gold as stipulated in the hedge agreements, the Company purchases its 30% share of gold from the Peak Gold JV. The excess ounces purchased that are not delivered to meet its hedge obligations are sold to the derivative counterparties in accordance with their respective sale agreements, with the resulting gain or loss being recorded in "Other Income/(Expense)". The gains on metal sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.2 million. The Company did no t have any gain or losses on metal sales for the comparative periods in 2023. The sales are accounted for under ASC 610 Other Income and not ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, since the sales are incidental to the Company's primary contractual obligation and do not constitute the Company's ongoing or central operations.
