GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted) 

As at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 (Unaudited)

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Great Panther Mining Limited (“Great Panther” or the “Company”) is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) trading under the symbol GPR, and on the NYSE American trading under the symbol GPL and is incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The Company’s registered and records office is located at 1330 - 200 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC.

The Company has three wholly owned mining operations including the Tucano gold mine (“Tucano”), which produces gold doré and is located in Amapá State in northern Brazil. In Mexico, Great Panther operates the Topia mine (“Topia”) in the state of Durango, which produces concentrates containing silver, gold, lead and zinc, and the Guanajuato Mine Complex (the “GMC”) in the state of Guanajuato. The GMC comprises the Guanajuato mine (“Guanajuato”), the San Ignacio mine (“San Ignacio”) and the Cata processing plant, which produces silver and gold concentrates. The Company placed the GMC on care and maintenance (Guanajuato and Cata processing plant in November 2021 and the San Ignacio mine in early January 2022). On June 29, 2022, Great Panther entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Guanajuato Silver Company Ltd. ("GSilver") to sell 100% of the Company's Mexican subsidiary Minera Mexicana El Rosario S.A. de C.V. ("MMR"), which holds the GMC, Topia, and the El Horcón and Santa Rosa projects, all located in Mexico. The transaction is expected to close within 2022 and accordingly, MMR and its operations have been classified as assets held for sale at June 30, 2022 in accordance with IFRS 5, Assets Held for Sale, on the consolidated statement of financial position and the results of operations have been classified as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented.

The Company also wholly owns the Coricancha Mine Complex (“Coricancha”), a gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc mine and processing facility in the central Andes of Peru, approximately 90 kilometres east of Lima. Coricancha was acquired by the Company in June 2017, having been placed on care and maintenance by its previous owner in August 2013. The Company is evaluating its options with respect to the Coricancha mine.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION AND GOING CONCERN
(a)Basis of preparation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The accounting policies and critical estimates applied by the Company in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the most recent annual consolidated financial statements, with the exception of the classification of MMR and its operations as assets held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 as detailed in note 6. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the most recent annual consolidated financial statements.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 3, 2022.

   

GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted) 

As at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 (Unaudited)

 

(b)Accounting policies

During the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company has applied the following accounting policy which was not applied in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021:

(i)Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. For the sale to be highly probable, management must be committed to, and have a plan to sell the assets, the assets must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and the sale must be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are measured at the lower or their original carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses or impairment reversals on initial classification as held-for-sale and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognized in earnings or loss. Impairment losses previously recognized, net of amortization that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized in prior periods, are reversed to the extent that the reversal does not cause the net asset position to exceed the estimated fair value of the assets less costs to sell. Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated.

The results of operations for discontinued operations are restated for the comparative periods to reclassify the earnings (loss) related to the discontinued operation as earnings (loss) from discontinued operations. The non-current assets and non-current liabilities are reclassified on the statement of financial position for those periods meeting the criteria for assets held for sale and are included within current assets and current liabilities.

(c)Going concern basis of accounting

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has a net working capital deficit of $39.2 million, including $41.5 million of current borrowings. Included in current borrowings are $25.2 million of unsecured bank facilities. Historically, the Company has generally been able to renew or replace the unsecured bank facilities but cannot provide assurance that it will do so in the future.

The Company has determined that it will require further financing and will consider additional equity financing, including through use of the At-the-Market Facility (“ATM Facility”) and debt financing, in order to meet long-term objectives and improve working capital, fund planned capital investments and exploration programs for its operating mines, acquisitions and meet scheduled debt repayment obligations.

Adverse movement in metal prices, unforeseen impacts to the Company’s operation, and the inability to renew or extend existing credit facilities that become due may increase the need to raise new external sources of capital, and the inability to access sources of capital could adversely impact the Company’s liquidity and require the Company to curtail capital and exploration program and other discretionary expenditures.

The Company has determined that the factors above indicate the existence of material uncertainty over the Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the next 12 months, which creates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

If for any reason the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, this could have a material impact on the Company’s ability to realize assets at their recognized values, in particular mineral properties, plant and equipment, and to extinguish liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements.

(a)PIS/COFINS

The PIS (Program of Social Integration) and COFINS (Contribution for the Financing of Social Security) are Brazilian federal taxes that apply to all companies in the private sector. PIS is a mandatory employer contribution to an employee savings initiative, and COFINS is a contribution to finance the social security system. Companies are required to calculate and remit PIS and COFINS based on monthly gross revenues. The Company’s Brazilian gold sales are zero-rated for PIS/COFINS purposes, and the current legislation allows for input tax credits by applying rates of 1.65% for PIS and 7.65% for COFINS, respectively, to some of the purchases in Brazil. As such, the Company has PIS/COFINS credits recorded as receivables. PIS/COFINS credits can be applied to reduce certain federal tax liabilities and are also recoverable in cash under certain circumstances.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company successfully collected PIS/COFINS in the amount of $7.4 million.

On June 29, 2022, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell 100% of the Company’s Mexican subsidiary MMR, which holds the GMC, the Topia mine, and the El Horcón and Santa Rosa projects, all located in Mexico, toGSilver.

Per the terms of the Agreement, GSilver agreed to pay $14.7 million for the MMR assets

$8.0 million cash payable on closing
A total of 25,787,200 common shares of GSilver valued at approximately $6.7 million based on the June 29, 2022 share price of GSilver’s common shares

GSilver has also agreed to pay the Company up to an additional $2.0 million in contingent payments based on the following events:

$0.5 million upon producing 2.5 million ounces of silver from the GMC and Topia;
$0.75 million upon the price of silver closing at or above $27.50 per ounce over a 30-day period in the two years following the Agreement; and

(a)Reimbursement rights

Pursuant to the acquisition of Coricancha, the vendors, Nyrstar International B.V. and Nyrstar Netherlands (Holdings) B.V. (together “Nyrstar”) and their parent company (at the time of the acquisition, Nyrstar N.V. and subsequently replaced by NN2 Newco Limited), agreed to reimburse the Company for the movement and reclamation of certain legacy tailings facilities and certain fines or sanctions resulting from activities or ownership of Coricancha prior to June 30, 2017. At December 31, 2021, the Company had recognized $1.9 million in other current assets and $12.8 million in other assets based on the Company’s estimate of the expected costs and timing of the related expenditures and reimbursement from Nyrstar.

On June 16, 2022 the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Deed”) with Nyrstar to settle the amounts related to the reimbursement rights, cancellation of the original Share Purchase Agreement between Nyrstar and the Company including an earn-out clause entitling Nyrstar to certain future cash flows from Coricancha. The settlement monetizes the Nyrstar indemnity while providing the Company with flexibility with respect to the future of the mine. Nyrstar and GPR’s rights and obligations under these agreements will fall away and the Settlement Deed will be the only remaining agreement between the parties. The Settlement Deed includes certain indemnities from the Company against any future liabilities with respect to Coricancha. On June 16, 2022, Nyrstar paid $13.0 million to the Company resulting in a loss of $1.8 million recorded in other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

(b)Restricted cash

The Company is required to maintain mine closure surety bonds with respect to Coricancha. The total amount of the closure bond required as at June 30, 2022 was $10.9 million, of which Nyrstar was required to provide collateral for $6.5 million until June 30, 2022, except in a circumstance where the Company elected to permanently close the mine.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Deed, Nyrstar was released from its obligation to fund closure bonds for Coricancha and the Company put in place the remaining $6.5 million closure bond. As at June 30, 2022 the Company has acquired surety bonds totaling $10.9 million issued by an insurance company by providing cash collateral of $9.0 million (December 31, 2021 - $4.4 million).

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense relating to share options of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2021 - $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively).

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was C$0.11 (six months ended June 30, 2021 - C$0.49). The grant date fair value of share options granted was determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

   2022  2021
Risk-free interest rate   2.96%   0.54%
Expected life (years)   2.50    3.14 
Annualized volatility   76%   71%
Forfeiture rate   24%   20%

The annualized volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common share price on the TSX. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

(b)Contingencies
(i)Coricancha Peruvian Tax Matters

The Company’s Peruvian subsidiary Great Panther Coricancha S.A. (“GPC”) has received notice from SUNAT, the Peruvian tax authority, that SUNAT intends to hold GPC jointly liable with respect to the unpaid taxes of a leasing company that sold the Coricancha mining assets to GPC (formerly Compañía Minera San Juan S.A.) in March 2006, prior to the Company’s acquisition of Coricancha effective June 30, 2017. The SUNAT claim is for unpaid taxes and related fines of the leasing company, which is not an affiliate of the Company, from its 2001 tax year, together with related fines. The amount claimed is approximately $20 million.

The Company believes that the probability of the claim resulting in liability for GPC is remote and, as a consequence, has not recorded any contingency. The Company expects legal processes to take several years to reach a conclusion.

(ii)Tucano
a)Various claims related to Brazil indirect taxes and labour matters

The Company has various litigation claims from a number of governmental assessments pertaining to indirect taxes and labour disputes associated with former employees and contract labour in Brazil.

As of June 30, 2022, the items for which a loss was probable, inclusive of any related interest, amounted to approximately $1.7 million, for which a provision was recognized (as of December 31, 2021 - $1.4 million).

(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted) 

As at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 (Unaudited)

 

In connection with the above proceedings, a total of $0.4 million (December 31, 2021 - $0.3 million) of escrow cash deposits were made as of June 30, 2022. Generally, any escrowed amounts would be refundable to the extent the matters are resolved in the Company’s favour.

b)Environmental fines and penalties and judicial claims

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and legal actions, including for alleged fines, in Brazil. Management regularly reviews these lawsuits and legal actions with outside counsel to assess the likelihood that the Company will incur a material cash outflow to settle the claim. To the extent management believes it is probable that a material cash outflow will be incurred to settle the claim, a provision for the estimated settlement amount is recorded. As at June 30, 2022, the total amount of claims was $15.4 million and the Company has accrued $3.9 million, representing the estimated settlement amount for claims where material future cash outflows are probable. A summary of the most significant claims is as follows:

i.Environmental damages - William Creek

In May 2009, the State of Amapá Public Prosecutor (“MPAP”) filed a public civil action seeking payment for environmental damages caused to William Creek, as well as to other creeks located in the region of influence of Zamin Amapá Mineração (“Zamin”) and Tucano mines. The alleged damage is related to the modification of the creek’s riverbed, soiling and sedimentation. In January 2018, the Amapá State Court ordered Tucano to pay a fine of approximately $1.3 million (BRL 6.0 million plus interest and inflation counted as from the date of the damage) to the State Environmental Fund. As at June 30, 2022, the updated value with interest and inflation is approximately $3.8 million (BRL 20.5 million). The Company is in the process of appealing. Based on legal advice received, the Company has accrued the best estimate of the cost to settle the claim.

ii.Archaeological sites damage

In 2020, a settlement agreement was reached related to certain archaeological civil actions. Tucano agreed to provide BRL 8.0 million, no later than December 31, 2021, for implementation of socio-environmental measures in the local community. The settlement amount has been paid as at December 31, 2021.

In related proceedings, not covered by the settlement agreement, Tucano is in the process of appealing fines and damages arising in the Federal Court of Appeal. The likelihood of total loss is not considered probable based on legal advice received. However, the best estimate of the loss is less than the full amount claimed, and the Company has accrued the best estimate of costs to settle the claim.

iii.Cyanide usage

In October 2018, the public prosecutor’s office of labour affairs for the State of Amapá filed a public civil action seeking payment for potential damages and medical costs in relation to the Company’s employees’ exposure to cyanide used in the processing of its gold. In August 2019, a regional labour court ordered Tucano to pay compensation of approximately BRL 4.0 million plus interest and inflation for these damages, in addition to surveillance and funding medical costs of any diseases to Tucano’s internal and outsourced employees and former employees, and to stop using cyanide in its production process within one year from the final non-appealable decision on the proceedings. Tucano is in the process of appealing to a Federal Superior Labour Court all aspects of the regional labour court decision. In March 2020, it was accepted that the appeal, exclusively with respect to whether or not the use of cyanide may continue, be admitted for consideration by the Federal Superior Labour Court and the balance of the decision has not yet been accepted for consideration and is under appeal. Tucano is not aware of any circumstances of former or current employees who have suffered health consequences from exposure to cyanide at the Company’s operations. In addition, the Company notes that the use of cyanide in the processing of gold is common in the industry within Brazil and is not prohibited by any federal law in Brazil and that the Company complies with proper safety standards in the use and handling of cyanide in its operations. The Company believes the claims are without merit. As the matter progresses, the Company will review its assessment.

iv.December 2021 SEMA Notices of Infraction

On December 30, 2021, the Company announced that it intended to file a defense to three Notices of Infraction (the “Notices”) that were delivered by the Amapá State Environmental Agency (“SEMA”) to Tucano on December 21, 2021. The Notices were issued in connection with SEMA’s investigation of a fish mortality event at Areia and Silvestre Creeks, and its assertion that the incident was caused by a leak in a reclaimed water pipe at the Tucano mine site. The Notices impose aggregate fines of BRL 50 million (approximately $9.5 million at June 30, 2022).

The Company has filed its defense with a position that there is no causal link between the incident and the Tucano mine and has applied for the cancellation of the infraction notices issued by SEMA.
