Overview

The Company is a precious metals producer with two operations in the world's leading silver mining regions: the Galena Complex in Idaho, USA and the Cosalá Operations in Sinaloa, Mexico, and is advancing technical studies at the Relief Canyon mine (“Relief Canyon”) in Nevada, USA following a suspension of mining activities in August 2021.

In Idaho, USA, the Company operates the 60%-owned producing Galena Complex (40% owned by Mr. Eric Sprott (“Sprott”)) whose primary assets are the operating Galena mine, the Coeur mine, and the contiguous Caladay development project in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District of the northern Idaho Silver Valley. The Galena Complex has recorded production of over 230 million ounces of silver along with associated by-product metals of copper and lead over a production history of more than sixty years. The Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Sprott effective October 1, 2019 for a 40% non-controlling interest of the Galena Complex. The goal of the joint venture agreement is to position the Galena Complex to significantly grow resources, increase production, and reduce operating costs at the mine (the “Recapitalization Plan”).

In Sinaloa, Mexico, the Company operates the 100%-owned Cosalá Operations, which includes the San Rafael silver-zinc-lead mine (“San Rafael”), after declaring commercial production in December 2017. Prior to that time, it operated the Nuestra Señora silver-zinc-copper-lead mine after commissioning the Los Braceros processing facility and declaring commercial production in January 2009. The Cosalá area land holdings also host several other known precious metals and polymetallic deposits, past-producing mines, and development projects including the Zone 120 silver-copper deposit and the El Cajón silver-copper deposit. These properties are located in close proximity to the Los Braceros processing plant. The Company also owns a 100% interest in the San Felipe development project in Sonora, Mexico, which it acquired on October 8, 2020.

In Nevada, USA, the Company is advancing technical studies at the 100%-owned, Relief Canyon located in Pershing County. The mine poured its first gold in February 2020 and declared commercial production in January 2021. Operations were suspended in August 2021 in order to resolve technical challenges related to the metallurgical characteristics of the deposit. The past-producing mine includes three historic open-pit mines, a crusher, ore conveying system, leach pads, and a refurbished heap-leach processing facility. The landholdings at Relief Canyon and the surrounding area cover over 11,700 hectares, providing the Company the potential to expand the Relief Canyon deposit and to explore for new discoveries close to existing processing infrastructure.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023


The Company’s mission is to profitably expand its precious metals production through the development of its own projects and consolidation of complementary projects. The Company is also focused on extending the mine life of its current assets through exploration and charting a path to profitability at the Galena Complex with the Recapitalization Plan, as well as resolving technical challenges at Relief Canyon. The Company will continue exploring and evaluating prospective areas accessible from existing infrastructure and the surface at the Galena Complex, and early-stage targets with an emphasis on the Cosalá District.

The Company’s management and Board of Directors (the “Board”) are comprised of senior mining executives who have extensive experience identifying, acquiring, developing, financing, and operating precious metals deposits globally. The Company’s principal and registered office is located at 145 King Street West, Suite 2870, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 1J8. The Company is a reporting issuer in each of the provinces of Canada, and is listed on the TSX trading under the symbol “USA” and on the NYSE American trading under the symbol “USAS”.

Recent Developments and Operational Discussion


Q2-2023 Highlights

 
Revenue of $24.2 million for Q2-2023 representing an increase of $4.2 million compared to Q2-2022 primarily due to higher silver and lead production from the Galena Complex, and higher silver production from the Cosalá Operations for a combined increase in silver production of 92%.
A net loss of $7.1 million for Q2-2023, or an attributable loss of $0.03 per share representing a decrease in net loss of $2.2 million compared to Q2-2022, primarily due to $4.2 million higher net revenue offset in part by $2.8 million higher cost of sales.
 
Consolidated attributable production of approximately 1.3 million ounces of silver equivalent1, including 0.6 million ounces of silver, 9.6 million pounds of zinc and 5.9 million pounds of lead, with cost of sales of $13.12/oz silver equivalent produced1, cash costs of $10.00/oz silver produced1 and all-in sustaining costs of $16.78/oz silver produced1 during the quarter.
The Company successfully installed the Galena Hoist which is now operational as of the end of Q2-2023 with only shaft repair remaining before final certification can be obtained. These repairs are expected to be completed in Q4-2023.
Cash generated from operating activities1 improved by $2.9 million to $0.6 million during Q2-2023 compared to cash used in operating activities of $2.3 million during Q2-2022 before changes in non-cash working capital items.
The Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $1.6 million and working capital1 deficit of $18.1 million as at June 30, 2023.

Q2-2023 continued to be challenging due to the decrease in precious and base metals prices as investors adjusted capital flows and allocations in response to heightened recession expectations, inflationary impacts, general overall increased global interest rates, and the continuing conflict in the Ukraine, among other macroeconomic events. The market price of silver increased by 7% quarter-to-quarter to average $23.41 per ounce in June 2023 compared to an average price of $21.49 per ounce in June 2022. However, the market prices of both zinc and lead significantly decreased this period: zinc decreased from over $2/lb in April 2022 to averaging $1.07/lb in June 2023 (35% decrease quarter-to-quarter), and lead prices decreased from over $1.10/lb in April 2022 to averaging $0.96/lb in June 2023 (4% decrease). The Company is dependant on both precious and base metal prices for profitability and liquidity. In addition, the USD/MXN exchange ratio decreased during the second quarter to approximately 16.6:1 as at June 30, 2023 from over 20:1 in the second quarter of 2022.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023


Cosalá Operations

The Cosalá Operations produced approximately 335,000 ounces of silver, 9.6 million pounds of zinc and 3.2 million pounds of lead in Q2-2023, compared to approximately 128,000 ounces of silver (162% increase in silver production), 9.9 million pounds of zinc and 3.9 million pounds of lead in Q2-2022, benefitting from more production from the higher-grade silver areas in the Upper Zone of the San Rafael mine. Cash costs per silver ounce increased significantly in the quarter to $11.10 per ounce from $(25.89) per ounce in Q2-2022 due to the lower price of zinc (primarily) combined with lower base metal production, and the devaluation of the USD relative to the Mexican peso, partially offset by the increase in silver production between the periods.

Production at the Cosalá Operations during YTD-2023 was impacted by a 17-day maintenance shutdown of the Cosalá Operations tailings facility in February in order to perform remedial work on a decant tunnel as part of the long-term environmental plan at the operations. This temporary shutdown allowed the San Rafael mine to rebuild stockpiles that had been drawn down in 2022 and allowed scheduled maintenance to be carried out at the Los Braceros mill, setting the operation up for a strong remainder of 2023.

Galena Complex

The Galena Complex produced approximately 397,000 ounces of silver and 4.4 million pounds of lead in Q2-2023, compared to approximately 286,000 ounces of silver (a 39% increase in silver production) and 4.2 million pounds of lead in Q2-2022 (a 5% increase in lead production). These increases highlight the continuing benefit and further potential of increased production following completion of the Galena Recapitalization Plan which includes rehabilitation of the Galena shaft. Cash costs decreased to $17.74 per ounce silver in Q3-2022 from $22.09 per ounce silver the prior year with a similar decrease in AISC due to increases in both silver and lead production.

The Company began mining high-grade silver ore from the 3700 Level in mid-December 2022 and started development on the 4300 Level to access the Upper 360 Complex reserve area. The 4300 Level mining front will increase the number of producing stopes and boost production output to coincide with the completion of the Galena hoist project. The Galena hoist was operational by the end of Q2-2023. The Company is focused on finishing the remaining shaft repair work, which is not expected to impact production guidance for the Galena Complex in 2023The shaft was fully inspected with a LIDAR survey showing less than a few hundred feet of the shaft requiring more extensive repair. These repairs are expected to be completed in Q4-2023. The Galena hoist will increase hoisting capacity at the Galena Complex, support plans to increase production and improve operational flexibility. Cash costs per ounce at the Galena Complex are also anticipated to decrease with the completion of the Galena replacement hoist as the benefits of scaling economies on the existing cost base with higher grade silver ore are realized.

Galena Exploration Update

A diamond drill was relocated during the first quarter 2023 to the 4900 Level, while development to the final planned drill station on the 5500 Level is completed, to drill the projected down dip extension of the 360 Complex. This drill is also targeting the Caladay Zone which has historically been underexplored and is located east of all existing production workings. Hole 49-626 encountered high-grade mineralization approximately 10 meters above the 5500 Level and approximately 350 meters east of the nearest development on the 5500 Level. This area contains no current mineral reserve or mineral resource and has potential to be a new high-grade production area for the property.

Relief Canyon Update

The Company is continuing efforts to resolve metallurgical challenges experienced at Relief Canyon. Relief Canyon suspended mining operations as of August 13, 2021 with approval by the Board of Directors. The Company continues leaching operations and working to improve recovery through ongoing technical studies and metallurgical test programs. These technical studies have not yet identified an economical path to resuming near-term production. The Company will reassess the status of the operation as the results of these efforts (and others) become available and the results are evaluated.

Other Items During Fiscal 2023

On May 17, 2021, the Company announced it had entered into an at-the-market offering agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC, acting as the lead agent, and Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as agent, pursuant to which the Company established an at-the-market equity program for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $50.0 million. This agreement expired on February 28, 2023 and approximately 44.1 million common shares were sold pursuant to the ATM Agreement with an average price per common share of approximately $1.01 for gross proceeds of approximately $44.4 million.



3 AgEq for drilling results only were calculated using metal prices of $20.00/oz silver, $3.00/lb copper and $1.05/lb lead and equivalent metallurgical recoveries were assumed for all metals (silver, lead and copper). Otherwise throughout this MD&A, silver equivalent production was calculated based on all metals production at average realized silver, zinc, and lead prices during each respective period.
4 Meters represent “True Width” which is calculated for significant intercepts only and based on orientation axis of core across the estimated dip of the vein.

On December 12, 2022, the Company amended its existing offtake agreement with Ocean Partners USA, Inc. for lead concentrates produced from the Galena Complex to include a pre-payment facility of $3.0 million (the “Facility”) to fund general working capital at the Galena Complex. Principal on the Facility is being repaid through semi-monthly installments deductible from concentrate deliveries primarily and can be redrawn on a revolving basis. The Facility was drawn in full in February 2023.

On February 26, 2023, the Company amended its metals delivery agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) for the right to increase its advance payment by $2.75 million per calendar quarter or up to $11.0 million in aggregate during fiscal 2023 in order to satisfy the gold delivery obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The advances are to be repaid through balancing fixed deliveries of gold commencing at the end of the existing agreement (2025+). The first and second calendar quarter advance of $2.75 million per quarter were drawn in March and May 2023, respectively, with further draws expected for subsequent quarters during fiscal 2023 as allowed under the amendment.

On March 31, 2023, the Company amended the existing promissory note to Sandstorm with the remaining principal of $2.5 million to be repaid in four equal instalments due June 30 and October 1, 2023, and July 1 and October 1, 2024, in addition to amending its interest rate to 8% per annum.

On April 12, 2023, the Company entered into a $4.0 million net smelter returns royalty agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) with Sandstorm to be repaid through a 2.5% royalty on attributable production from the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex. The royalty reduces to 0.2% on attributable production from the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex after the aggregate repayment of $4.0 million and may be eliminated thereafter with a buyout payment of $1.9 million.

On June 21, 2023, the Company’s issued an additional secured convertible debenture to an investor under the Company’s existing RoyCap Convertible Debenture, increasing the principal balance by C$8.0 million to a total of C$24.3 million outstanding at the end of the second quarter. The Company also amended the interest payable to 11% per annum, the conversion price to C$0.80, and extended the term of the maturity to July 1, 2024 with option to extend by incremental calendar quarters up to April 28, 2025, among other terms. The RoyCap Convertible Debenture’s outstanding balance was further reduced to C$23.3 million as of August 14, 2023, through additional retractions of C$1.0 million settled through issuance of approximately 2.1 million of the Company’s common shares.

Throughout this MD&A, consolidated production results and consolidated operating metrics are based on the attributable ownership percentage of each operating segment (100% Cosalá Operations and 60% Galena Complex).
2
Throughout this MD&A, silver equivalent production was calculated based on all metals production at average realized silver, zinc, and lead prices during each respective period.
3
This is a supplementary or non-GAAP financial measure or ratio. See “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” section for further information.

Consolidated attributable silver production during Q2-2023 increased by 92% compared to the same period in Q2-2022. Consolidated attributable silver equivalent production during Q2-2023 decreased by 6% compared to Q2-2022. Despite the significant increase in silver production, YTD-2023 production was impacted by a 17-day maintenance shutdown of the Cosalá Operations tailings facility in order to perform remedial work on a decant tunnel as part of the long-term environmental plan at the operation. This temporary shutdown allowed the San Rafael mine to rebuild stockpiles that had been drawn down in 2022 and allowed scheduled maintenance to be carried out at the Los Braceros mill, setting the operation up for a strong remainder of 2023.

Revenue increased by $4.2 million or 21% to $24.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $20.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue from the Galena Complex from higher silver and lead production during the period, plus higher revenue from the Cosalá Operations from higher silver production during the period, offset by lower zinc prices and lower base metal production at the Cosalá Operations. The average realized silver, zinc, and lead prices1 increased by 5% and decreased by 34%, and 1%, respectively, from Q2-2022 to Q2-2023. The average realized silver price of $23.58/oz. for Q2-2023 (Q2-2022 – $22.45/oz.) is comparable to the average London silver spot price of $24.20/oz. for Q2-2023 (Q2-2022 – $22.65/oz.).

The Company recorded a net loss of $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to higher net revenue, and lower foreign exchange loss, offset in part by higher cost of sales, and lower gain on fair value of metals contract liability. These variances are further discussed in the following sections.

The Cosalá Operations benefitted from more production from the higher-grade silver areas in the Upper Zone of the San Rafael mine resulting in a 162% increase in silver production compared to Q2-2022, though with lower production of zinc and lead due to lower base metal grades. Cash costs per silver ounce increased significantly in the quarter to $11.10 per ounce from $(25.89) per ounce in Q2-2022 due to the lower price of zinc and lower base metal production, and the devaluation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Mexican peso, partially offset by the increase in silver production between the periods.

Production at the Cosalá Operations during YTD-2023 was impacted by a 17-day maintenance shutdown of the Cosalá Operations tailings facility in February in order to perform remedial work on the decant tunnel as part of the long-term environmental plan at the operations. This temporary shutdown allowed the San Rafael mine to rebuild stockpiles that had been drawn down in 2022 and allowed scheduled maintenance to be carried out at the Los Braceros mill, setting the operation up for a strong remainder of 2023.

The Galena Complex increased silver production by over 39% in Q2-2023, producing approximately 397,000 ounces of silver and 4.4 million pounds of lead. These increases highlight the continuing benefit and further potential of increased production following completion of the Galena Recapitalization Plan which includes rehabilitation of the Galena shaft. Cash costs decreased to $17.74 per ounce silver in Q2-2023 from $22.09 per ounce silver in Q2-2022 with a similar decrease in AISC due to the increase silver and lead production.

The Company began mining high-grade silver ore from the 3700 Level in mid-December 2022 and started development on the 4300 Level to access the Upper 360 Complex reserve area. The 4300 Level mining front will increase the number of producing stopes and boost production output to coincide with the completion of the Galena hoist project. The Galena hoist was operational by the end of Q2-2023. The Company is focused on finishing the remaining shaft repair work, which is not expected to impact production guidance for the Galena Complex in 2023. The shaft was fully inspected with a LIDAR survey showing less than a few hundred feet of the shaft requiring more extensive repair. These repairs are expected to be completed in Q4-2023. The Galena hoist will increase hoisting capacity at the Galena Complex, support plans to increase production and improve operational flexibility. Cash costs per ounce at the Galena Complex are also anticipated to decrease with the completion of the Galena replacement hoist as the benefits of scaling economies on the existing cost base with higher grade silver ore are realized.


Results of Operations

Analysis of the three months ended June 30, 2023 vs. the three months ended June 30, 2022

The Company recorded a net loss of $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to higher net revenue ($4.2 million), and lower foreign exchange loss ($2.8 million), offset in part by higher cost of sales ($2.8 million), and lower gain on fair value of metals contract liability ($1.5 million), each of which are described in more detail below.

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023

 
Revenue increased by $4.2 million to $24.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to $3.7 million higher revenue from the Galena Complex from higher silver and lead production during the period, plus $0.6 million higher revenue from the Cosalá Operations from higher silver production during the period. These increases were offset by lower base metal production and lower realized zinc prices at the Cosalá Operations during the period.

Cost of sales increased by $2.8 million to $20.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $17.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to $3.0 million and $0.8 million increase in cost of sales from the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex, respectively, due to increase in operating costs due to global inflation and the devaluation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Mexican peso, offset in part by $1.0 million decrease in inventory net realizable value write-downs at Relief Canyon recognized during the period.

Foreign exchange loss decreased by $2.8 million to a $0.9 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from a $1.9 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 mainly due to material changes in foreign exchange rates during the period impacting valuation of non-functional currency instruments from the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries.

Gain on fair value of metals contract liability decreased by $1.5 million to a $1.7 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from a $3.2 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to the change in fair value of the Company’s metals contract liability to Sandstorm during the period, primarily due to the increase in gold price forward curve compared to prior periods.

Analysis of the six months ended June 30, 2023 vs. the six months ended June 30, 2022

The Company recorded a net loss of $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to higher cost of sales ($4.0 million), higher interest and financing expense ($2.0 million), lower gain on fair value of metals contract liability ($1.3 million), and prior period gain on government loan forgiveness ($4.3 million), offset in part by lower depletion and amortization ($1.4 million), and lower foreign exchange loss ($1.7 million), each of which are described in more detail below.

Revenue decreased by $0.1 million to $46.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $46.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to $4.5 million lower revenue from the Cosalá Operations from lower realized metals prices during the period and lower zinc and lead production from a 17-day maintenance shutdown, offset by $4.4 million higher revenue from the Galena Complex from higher silver and lead production during the period.

Cost of sales increased by $4.0 million to $38.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $34.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to $2.7 million and $2.0 million increase in cost of sales from the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex, respectively, due to increase in operating costs, primarily related to increases in employee costs and the USD/MXN exchange rate, offset in part by $0.8 million decrease in inventory net realizable value write-downs at Relief Canyon recognized during the period.

Depletion and amortization decreased by $1.4 million to $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to $1.7 million decrease in depletion and amortization from the Relief Canyon mine following the write down of its net asset carrying amount in fiscal 2022.

Interest and financing expense increased by $2.0 million mainly due to higher financing expense and lease accretion recognized during the period.

Foreign exchange loss decreased by $1.7 million to a $0.5 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from a $1.2 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 mainly due to material changes in foreign exchange rates during the period impacting valuation of non-functional currency instruments from the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023

 
Gain on fair value of metals contract liability decreased by $1.3 million to a $0.9 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from a $0.4 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the change in fair value of the Company’s metals contract liability to Sandstorm during the period, primarily due to the increase in gold price forward curve compared to prior periods.

Gain on government loan forgiveness of $4.3 million was recorded during fiscal 2022 as forgiveness of the Company’s loan through the Paycheck Protection Program from the U.S. CARES Act was confirmed during the period.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance decreased from $2.0 million to $1.6 million since December 31, 2022 with a working capital deficit of $18.1 million. This minor decrease was mainly due to an increase in cash from net proceeds received from the at-the-market offering, pre-payment facility, convertible debenture, royalty payable, and contribution from non-controlling interests, offset by expenditures of property, plant and equipment (including the Galena hoist project), and increased operating costs. Current liabilities as at June 30, 2023 were $44.9 million which is $2.8 million higher than at December 31, 2022, principally due to an increase balance in the revolving pre-payment facility.

The Company operates in a cyclical industry where cash flow has historically been correlated to market prices for commodities. Several material uncertainties cast substantial doubt upon the going concern assumption, including cash flow positive production at the Cosalá Operations and Galena Complex, and ability to raise additional funds as necessary to fund these operations and meet obligations as they come due. The Company’s cash flow is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, obtain adequate equity or debt financing, or, alternatively, dispose of its non-core properties on an advantageous basis to fund its near-term operations, development and exploration plans, while meeting production targets at current commodity price levels.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023


Management evaluates viable financing alternatives to ensure sufficient liquidity including debt instruments, concentrate offtake agreements, sale of non-core assets, private equity financing, sale of royalties on its properties, metal prepayment and streaming arrangements, and the issuance of equity. Several material uncertainties may impact the Company’s liquidity in the short term, such as: the price of commodities, general inflationary pressures, cash flow positive production at both the Company’s operating mines, the Galena Complex Recapitalization Plan, the timing of the shaft repair, and the expected increase in hoisting capacity. At June 30, 2023, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity on hand to fund its expected operations for the next twelve months and will require further financing to meet its financial obligations and execute on its planned operations. From 2020 to year-to-date 2023, the Company has been successful in raising funds through equity offerings (including at-the-market offerings), debt arrangements, convertible debentures, royalty sales, and non-core asset sales. The Company issued an aggregate of $33.75 million CAD in convertible debentures, raised an aggregate of $44.4 million through an at-the-market equity offering on the New York Stock Exchange American to fund the Company’s planned operations, amended its existing precious metals delivery and purchase agreement for the right to increase its advance payment up to $11.0 million during fiscal 2023 to satisfy current gold delivery obligations with draws expected during each quarter of fiscal 2023 as allowed under the amendment, entered into a pre-payment facility, restructured a promissory note, and believes it will be able to raise additional financing as needed. In the longer term, as the Cosalá Operations sustain full production, the Galena hoist project and shaft repair are finalized on the currently anticipated timing and budget and the Galena Complex is optimized on our current plans, and the outlook for silver, zinc, copper, and lead prices remains positive, the Company believes that cash flow will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations. However, additional impairments to the carrying value of the Company’s mining interests and property and equipment may also be required depending on ongoing technical studies at Relief Canyon, or if precious and/or base metal prices decrease from their current levels.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables, restricted cash, trade and other payables, and other long-term liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. The Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risk arising from financial instruments. The majority of the funds of the Company are held in accounts at major banks in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

The Company received confirmation via letters from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that $5.3 million in refunds were approved through the Employee Retention Credit from the U.S. CARES Act to assist with payroll and other expenses at the Galena Complex during the COVID-19 pandemic. $3.5 million in refunds was received in January 2023 with the remaining $1.8 million received in April 2023.

Post-Employment Benefit Obligations

The Company’s liquidity has been, and will continue to be, impacted by pension funding commitments as required by the terms of the defined benefit pension plans offered to both its hourly and salaried workers at the Galena Complex (see Note 14 in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022). Both pension plans are under-funded due to actuarial losses incurred from market conditions and changes in discount rates; the Company intends to fund to the minimum levels required by applicable law. The Company currently estimates total annual funding requirements for both Galena Complex pension plans to be approximately $0.9 million per year for each of the next 5 years (excluding fiscal 2022 funding requirements paid in January 2023), with approximately $0.4 million funded during fiscal 2023 (as of August 14, 2023). Effects from market volatility and interest rates may impact long term annual funding commitments.

The Company evaluates the pension funding status on an annual basis in order to update all material information in its assessment, including updated mortality rates, investment performance, discount rates, contribution status among other information. The pension valuation was remeasured at the end of Q2-2023 and adjusted by approximately $1.3 million as a result of unrealized gains on returns net of increases to interest rates set by central banks and governments globally. The Company expects to continue to review the pension valuation quarterly.

Capital Resources

The Company’s cash flow is dependent on delivery of its metal concentrates to market. The Company’s contracts with the concentrate purchasers provide for provisional payments based on timing of concentrate deliveries. The Company has not had any problems collecting payments from concentrate purchasers in a reliable and timely manner and expects no such difficulties in the foreseeable future. However, this cash flow is dependent on continued mine production which can be subject to interruption for various reasons including fluctuations in metal prices and concentrate shipment difficulties, and, in the case of Relief Canyon, the suspension of mining operations. Additionally, unforeseen cessation in the counterparty’s capabilities could severely impact the Company’s capital resources.

The Company made capital expenditures of $11.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 (2022: $8.0 million). Money was spent on purchase of property, plant and equipment mostly associated with the Galena Complex Recapitalization Plan.

Risk Factors

The business of the Company is subject to a substantial number of risks and uncertainties. In addition to considering the information disclosed in the forward-looking statements, financial statements and the other publicly filed documentation regarding the Company available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, and on the Company’s website at www.americas-gold.com, the reader should carefully consider each of, and the cumulative effect of, the risk factors relating to the Company found under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 30, 2023 or the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2022 dated March 15, 2023. Any of these risk elements could have material adverse effects on the business of the Company. See note 24 – Financial risk management of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and note 19 – Financial risk management of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 contain going concern disclosure

The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 contain disclosure related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional  capital,  achieve  sustainable  revenues  and  profitable  operations,  and  obtain  the  necessary financing to meet obligations and repay liabilities when they become due. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals. If the Company is unable to achieve these goals, its ability  to  carry  out and implement  planned  business objectives and  strategies will  be significantly delayed, limited or may not occur. These circumstances cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and ultimately on the appropriateness of the use of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. There are no guarantees that access to equity and debt capital from public and private markets in Canada or the U.S. will be available to the Company.

Accounting Standards and Pronouncements

Accounting standards issued but not yet applied

The Company adopted amendments to IAS 12 - Income Taxes requiring companies to recognize deferred tax on transactions that give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences on initial recognition. The amendments were effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.

Financial Instruments
 
The Company may, from time to time, employ derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

As at June 30, 2023, the Company does not have any non-hedge foreign exchange or commodity forward contracts outstanding.

Capital Structure
 
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common and preferred shares, where each common share provides the holder with one vote while preferred shares are non-voting. As at June 30, 2023, there were 212,107,575 common shares and nil preferred shares issued and outstanding.

As at August 14, 2023, there were 216,479,222 common shares and nil preferred shares issued and outstanding, and 16,270,000 options outstanding which are exchangeable in common shares of the Company. The number of common shares issuable on the exercise of warrants is 4,775,792.

Controls and Procedures
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR"), as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52‐109 ‐ Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings ("NI 52‐109").

The Company’s DC&P are designed to ensure that all important information about the Company, including operating and financial activities, is communicated fully, accurately and in a timely way and that they provide the Company with assurance that the financial reporting is accurate.

ICFR means a process by or under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

As at June 30, 2023, the Company’s CEO and CFO have certified that the DC&P are effective and that during the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not make any material changes in the ICFR that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s ICFR.

The internal controls are not expected to prevent and detect all misstatements due to error or fraud.

Technical Information

The scientific and technical information relating to the operation of the Company’s material operating mining properties contained herein has been reviewed and approved by Daren Dell, P.Eng., Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Dell is a "qualified person" for the purposes of NI 43-101.

The Company’s current Annual Information Form and the NI 43-101 Technical Reports for its other material mineral properties, all of which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, contain further details regarding mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, classification and reporting parameters, key assumptions and associated risks for each of the Company’s material mineral properties, including a breakdown by category.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial and other measures to supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, including the following:

average realized silver, zinc and lead prices;
cost of sales/Ag Eq oz produced;
cash costs/Ag oz produced;
all-in sustaining costs/Ag oz produced;
net cash generated from operating activities;
working capital; and
silver equivalent production (Ag Eq).

Management uses these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, internally to better assess performance trends and understands that a number of investors, and others who follow the Company’s performance, also assess performance in this manner. These non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may differ from methods used by other companies with similar descriptions.  Management's determination of the components of non-GAAP financial measures and other financial measures are evaluated on a periodic basis influenced by new items and transactions, a review of investor uses and new regulations as applicable. Any changes to the measures are duly noted and retrospectively applied as applicable. Subtotals and per unit measures may not calculate based on amounts presented in the following tables due to rounding.

Average Realized Silver, Zinc and Lead Prices

The Company uses the financial measures "average realized silver price", "average realized zinc price” and “average realized lead price” because it understands that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance vis-à-vis average market prices of metals for the period. The presentation of average realized metal prices is not meant to be a substitute for the revenue information presented in accordance with IFRS, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with such IFRS measure.

Average realized metal prices represent the sale price of the underlying metal excluding unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on provisional pricing and concentrate treatment and refining charges. Average realized silver, zinc and lead prices are calculated as the revenue related to each of the metals sold, e.g. revenue from sales of silver divided by the quantity of ounces sold.

Throughout this MD&A, consolidated production results and consolidated operating metrics are based on the attributable ownership percentage of each operating segment (100% Cosalá Operations and 60% Galena Complex).

Cash Costs and Cash Costs/Ag Oz Produced

The Company uses the financial measures “Cash Costs” and “Cash Costs/Ag Oz Produced” in accordance with measures widely reported in the silver mining industry as a benchmark for performance measurement and because it understands that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s underlying cash costs of operations.

Cash costs are determined on a mine-by-mine basis and include mine site operating costs such as: mining, processing, administration, production taxes and royalties which are not based on sales or taxable income calculations. Non-cash costs consist of: non-cash related charges to cost of sales including inventory movements, write-downs to net realizable value of concentrates, ore stockpiles, and spare parts and supplies, and employee profit share accruals.

Throughout this MD&A, consolidated production results and consolidated operating metrics are based on the attributable ownership percentage of each operating segment (100% Cosalá Operations and 60% Galena Complex).

All-In Sustaining Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs/Ag Oz Produced

The Company uses the financial measures “All-In Sustaining Costs” and “All-In Sustaining Costs/Ag Oz Produced” in accordance with measures widely reported in the silver mining industry as a benchmark for performance measurement and because it understands that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s total costs of producing silver from operations.

All-in sustaining costs is cash costs plus all development, capital expenditures, and exploration spending, excluding costs related to the Galena Recapitalization Plan implementation.
