Commitments and Contingencies |
Commitments and Contingencies | 12. Commitments and Contingencies As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had equipment purchase commitments aggregating approximately $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Contingent Consideration With the Aquila acquisition, the Company assumed contingent consideration. On December 30, 2013, Aquila’s shareholders approved the acquisition of 100% of the shares of HudBay Michigan Inc. (“HMI”), a subsidiary of HudBay Minerals Inc. (“HudBay”), effectively giving Aquila 100% ownership in the Back Forty Project (the “HMI Acquisition”). Pursuant to the HMI Acquisition, HudBay’s 51% interest in the Back Forty Project was acquired in consideration for the issuance of common shares of Aquila, future milestone payments tied to the development of the Back Forty Project and a 1% net smelter return royalty on production from certain land parcels in the project. The issuance of shares and 1% net smelter obligations were settled before the Company acquired Aquila. The contingent consideration is composed of the following: The value of future installments is based on C$9 million tied to the development of the Back Forty project as follows:
| a. | C$3 million payable on completion of any form of financing for purposes including the commencement of construction of Back Forty, up to 50% of the C$3 million can be paid, at the Company’s option in Gold Resource Corporation shares with the balance payable in cash (if as of November 2023 this milestone has not been achieved, HMI has the right to repurchase a 51% ownership in the Back Forty Project);
| b. | C$2 million payable in cash 90 days after the commencement of commercial production;
| c. | C$2 million payable in cash 270 days after the commencement of commercial production, and;
| d. | C$2 million payable in cash 450 days after the commencement of commercial production.
​ The total value of the contingent consideration at December 31, 2022 was $4.4 million. It is more likely than not that management will pay C$3 million ($2.2 million) of the liability in 2023 in order to prevent the repurchase of 51% ownership by HMI. Therefore, this portion was moved to current liability, with $2.2 million remaining in long-term liability. The contingent consideration is adjusted for the time value of money and the likelihood of the milestone payments. Any future changes in the value of the contingent consideration will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other Contingencies The Company has certain other contingencies resulting from litigation, claims, and other commitments and is subject to a variety of environmental and safety laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. The Company currently has no basis to conclude that any or all of such contingencies will materially affect its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in the future, there may be changes to these contingencies, or additional contingencies may occur, any of which might result in an accrual or a change in current accruals recorded by the Company, and there can be no assurance that their ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow. With the acquisition of Aquila Resources Inc. on December 10, 2021, the Company assumed substantial liabilities that relate to the gold and silver stream agreements with Osisko Bermuda Limited. Under the agreements, Osisko deposited a total of $37.2 million upfront in exchange for a portion of the future gold and silver production from the Back Forty Project. The stream agreements contain customary provisions regarding default and security. In the event that our subsidiary defaults under the stream agreements, including failing to achieve commercial production at a future date, it may be required to repay the deposit plus accumulated interest at a rate agreed with Osisko. If it fails to do so, Osisko may be entitled to enforce its remedies as a secured party and take possession of the assets that comprise the Back Forty Project. ​
