Current other investments | $ | 13,132 | $ | 8,647 |
The Company holds $12,971 in marketable securities that are classified as Level 1 and $161 in marketable securities that are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 17) and are classified as financial assets measured at FVTPL. Marketable securities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy are share purchase warrants and the fair value of the warrants at each period end has been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company acquired 6,600,000 units of Max Resource Corp ("Max") through a private placement with each unit consisting of one common share and ½ share purchase warrant. At the same time, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Max under which acquired shares and warrants of Max have certain transfer restrictions and cannot be liquidated before March 28, 2024. Accordingly, at inception these shares and warrants were classified as non-current and are classified as such in the comparative figures.

$ | 15,610 | $ | 13,136 |
(1) The trade receivables consist of receivables from provisional silver and gold sales from the Bolañitos mine. The fair value of receivables arising from concentrate sales contracts that contain provisional pricing mechanisms is determined using the appropriate period end closing prices on the measurement date from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular metal. As such, these receivables, which meet the definition of an embedded derivative, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (Note 17).

(2) The Company's Mexican subsidiaries pay value added tax, Impuesto al Valor Agregado ("IVA"), on the purchase and sale of goods and services. The net amount paid is recoverable but is subject to review and assessment by the tax authorities. The Company regularly files the required IVA returns and all supporting documentation with the tax authorities, however, the Company has been advised that certain IVA amounts receivable from the tax authorities are being withheld pending completion of the authorities' audit of certain of the Company's third-party suppliers. Under Mexican law the Company has legal rights to those IVA refunds and the results of the third-party audits should have no impact on refunds. A smaller portion of IVA refund requests are from time to time improperly denied based on the alleged lack of compliance of certain formal requirements and information returns by the Company's third-party suppliers. The Company takes necessary legal action on the delayed refunds as well as any improperly denied refunds.
These delays and denials have occurred in Refinadora Plata Guanaceví S.A. de C.V. ("Guanaceví,"). At March 31, 2023, Guanaceví holds $7,448 in IVA receivables which the Company and its advisors have determined to be recoverable from tax authorities (December 31, 2022 $6,402 respectively).
As at March 31, 2023, the total IVA receivable of $21,176 (December 31, 2022 - $18,216) has been allocated between the current portion of $9,121, which is included in accounts receivable, and a non-current portion of $12,055 (December 31, 2022 - $8,062 and $10,154 respectively). The non-current portion is composed of Guanacevi of $1,625, which is currently under appeal and are unlikely to be received in the next 12 months. The remaining $10,430 is IVA receivable for Terronera, which may not become recoverable until Terronera recognizes revenue for tax purposes.
The Company is in regular contact with the tax authorities in respect of its IVA filings and believes the full amount of its IVA receivables will ultimately be received; however, the timing of recovery of these amounts and the nature and extent of any adjustments to the Company's IVA receivables remains uncertain.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The acquisition was completed on July 6, 2022. Total consideration included 8,577,380 shares of the Company issued on July 6, 2022 and a $35.1 million cash payment. Fair value of the 8,577,380 common shares issued on July 6, 2022 was $25,589 at CAN$3.89 per share. The deemed value of the common shares issued, at the time of agreement, was $34.9 million. The shares are subject to a hold period of four months and one day following the date of closing.
The 4,950-hectares Pitarrilla exploration project is located in northern Mexico, consists of five concessions, has significant infrastructure in place and has access to utilities.
The acquisition is outside the scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations, as the Pitarrilla project did not meet the definition of a business, and as such, the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The purchase price is allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

The SUP allows for, with approval by the Board, granting of Performance Share Units ("PSU"s) and Deferred Share Units ("DSU"s), to its directors, officers, employees to acquire up to 1.5% of the issued and outstanding shares. The SUP incorporates any new PSUs and DSUs granted and are to be subject to cash, share settlement or a combination of cash and share procedures at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Performance Share Units
The PSUs granted are subject to a performance payout multiplier between 0% and 200% based on the Company's total shareholder return at the end of a three-year period, relative to the total shareholder return of the Company's peer group.

16. INCOME TAXES
Minera Santa Cruz y Garibaldi S.A. de C.V. ("MSCG"), a subsidiary of the Company, received a MXN 238 million assessment on October 12, 2010 by Mexican fiscal authorities for failure to provide the appropriate support for certain expense deductions taken in MSCG's 2006 tax return, failure to provide appropriate support for loans made to MSCG from affiliated companies, and deemed an unrecorded distribution of dividends to shareholders, among other individually immaterial items. MSCG immediately initiated a Nullity action and filed an administrative attachment to dispute the assessment.
In June 2015, the Superior Court ruled in favour of MSCG on a number of the matters under appeal; however, the Superior Court ruled against MSCG for failure to provide appropriate support for certain deductions taken in MSCG's 2006 tax return. In June 2016, the Company received an MXN 122.9 million ($6,800) tax assessment based on the June 2015 ruling. The 2016 tax assessment comprised of MXN 41.8 million owed ($2,300) in taxes, MXN 17.7 million ($1,000) in inflationary charges, MXN 40.4 million ($2,200) in interest and MXN 23.0 million ($1,300) in penalties. The 2016 tax assessment was issued for failure to provide the appropriate support for certain expense deductions taken in MSCG's 2006 tax return and failure to provide appropriate support for loans made to MSCG from affiliated companies. The MXN 122.9 million assessment includes interest and penalties. If MSCG agrees to pay the tax assessment, or a lesser settled amount, it is eligible to apply for forgiveness of 100% of the penalties and 50% of the interest.
The Company filed an appeal against the June 2016 tax assessment on the basis certain items rejected by the courts were included in the new tax assessment, and a number of deficiencies exist within the assessment. Since issuance of the assessment interest charges of MXN 17.8 million ($1.0) and inflationary charges of MXN 26.6 million ($1,500) have accumulated.
Included in the Company's consolidated financial statements are net assets of $964 held by MSCG. Following the Tax Court's rulings, MSCG is in discussions with the tax authorities with regards to the shortfall of assets within MSCG to settle its estimated tax liability. An alternative settlement option would be to transfer the shares and assets of MSCG to the tax authorities. As of March 31, 2023, the Company's income tax payable includes an allowance for transferring the shares and assets of MSCG amounting to $964. The Company is currently assessing MSCG's settlement options based on ongoing court proceedings and discussion with the tax authorities. The Company has been advised that the appeal filed with the Federal Tax Court, against the June 2016 tax assessment has been rejected. The Company continues to assess MSCG's settlement options.
Compania Minera Del Cubo S.A. de C.V. ("Cubo"), a subsidiary of the Company, received a MXN 58.5 million ($2,900) assessment in 2019 by Mexican fiscal authorities for alleged failure to provide the appropriate support for depreciation deductions taken in the Cubo 2016 tax return and denied eligibility of deductions of certain suppliers. The tax assessment consisted of MXN 24.1 million ($1,200) for taxes, MXN 21.0 million ($1,100) for penalties, MXN 10.4 million ($500) for interest and MXN 3.0 million ($100) for inflation. At the time of the tax assessment the Cubo entity had and continues to have sufficient loss carry forwards which would be applied against the assessed difference of taxable income. The Mexican tax authorities did not consider these losses in the assessment.
Due to the denial of certain suppliers for income tax purposes in the Cubo assessment, the invoices from these suppliers have been assessed as ineligible for refunds of IVA paid on the invoices. The assessment includes MXN 14.7 million ($600) for re-payment of IVA (value added taxes) refunded on these supplier payments. In the Company's judgement the suppliers and invoices meet the necessary requirements to be deductible for income tax purposes and the recovery of IVA.

The Company has filed an administrative appeal related to the 2016 Cubo Tax assessment. The Company had previously provided a lien on certain El Cubo mining concessions during the appeal process. To facilitate the sale of the El Cubo mine and related assets, the Company elected to pay the assessed amount of $3,500 during Q1, 2021. During the appeal process the amount paid has been classified as a non-current income tax receivable. Since issuance of the assessment interest charges of MXN 9.9 million ($500) and inflationary charges of MXN 1.6 million ($100) had accumulated. The Company continues to assess that it is probable that its appeal will prevail, and no provision is recognized in respect of the Cubo tax assessment.
17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

(b) Fair value hierarchy
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
Level 1:
Other investments are comprised of marketable securities. When there is an active market are determined based on a market approach reflecting the closing price of each particular security at the reporting date. The closing price is a quoted market price obtained from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular security. As a result, $12,971 of these financial assets have been included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Cash settled deferred share units are determined based on a market approach reflecting the Company's closing share price or share price at redemption date for any pending settlements.

(expressed in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)
Level 2:
The Company determines the fair value of the embedded derivatives related to its accounts and other receivables based on the quoted closing price obtained from the silver and gold metal exchanges and the fair value of the SARs liability is determined by using an option pricing model.
Level 3:
Included in other investments are share purchase warrants. Fair value of the warrants at each period end has been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. As a result, $161 of these financial assets have been included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2023 measured at fair value on a recurring basis include:
