BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
(a) 
Statement of compliance
 
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“Annual Financial Statements”).
 
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Audit Committee on November 7, 2019.
 
(b) 
Use of judgments and estimates
 
In preparing these interim financial statements, management makes judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Annual Financial Statements.
 
(c) 
Significant accounting policies and changes in accounting standards
 
These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Annual Financial Statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements. However, in the current period, the Company, for the first time, has applied IFRS 16 Leases (as issued by the IASB in January 2016) effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach does not require restatement of prior period financial information and continues to be reported under IAS 17, Leases and IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. IFRS 16 introduces new or

amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. It introduces changes to the lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance leases and requiring the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged.
 
The Company’s leases consist of corporate office lease arrangements. The Company, on adoption of IFRS 16, recognized lease liabilities in relation to office leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of IAS 17. In relation, under the principles of the new standard these leases are measured as lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. The associated right-of-use asset has been measured at the amount equal to the lease liability on January 1, 2019. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset (refer to Note 5 and Note 9).
 
Furthermore, the right-of-use asset may be reduced due to impairment losses.
 
The following table reconciles the Company’s operating lease commitments at December 31, 2018, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Financial Statements, to the lease liability recognized on adoption of IFRS 16 at January 1, 2019:

On October 10, 2018, the Company signed a lease agreement (the “Lease”) with an arms-length private Mongolian company (the “Lessee”) whereby the Lessee plans to perform mining operations at Prophecy’s Ulaan Ovoo coal mine and will pay Prophecy USD2.00 (the “Production Royalty”) for every tonne of coal shipped from the Ulaan Ovoo site premises. The Lessee paid Prophecy USD100,000 in cash (recorded as other income on the consolidated statement of operations) as a non-refundable advance royalty payment and is preparing, at its own and sole expense, to restart and operate the Ulaan Ovoo mine with its own equipment, supplies, housing and crew. The Lease is valid for 3 years with an annual advance royalty payment (“ARP”) for the first year of USD100,000 which paid upon signing, and USD150,000 and USD200,000 due on the 1st and 2nd anniversary of the Lease, respectively. The ARP can be credited towards the USD2.00 per tonne Production Royalty payments to be made to Prophecy as the Lessee starts to sell Ulaan Ovoo coal. The 3-year Lease can be extended upon mutual agreement.
 
The impaired value of $Nil for deferred development costs at Ulaan Ovoo property at September 30, 2019 remains unchanged.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company wrote-off $425,925 of mining equipment in Bolivia that was no longer in use.

Gibellini Project, Nevada, United States
 
Gibellini Project
 
The Gibellini Project consists of a total of 354 unpatented lode mining claims that include: the Gibellini group of 40 claims, the VC Exploration group of 105 claims, and the Prophecy group of 209 claims. All the claims are located in Eureka County, Nevada, USA.
 
Gibellini Group
 
The Gibellini group of claims was acquired on June 22, 2017, through lease from the claimant (the “Gibellini Lessor”) and includes an area of approximately 771 acres. Under the Gibellini Mineral Lease Agreement (the Gibellini MLA”) Prophecy leased the Gibellini group of claims which originally constituted the Gibellini Project by among other things, agreeing to pay to the Gibellini Lessor, US$35,000 (paid), annual advance royalty payments which will be tied, based on an agreed formula (not to exceed US$120,000 per year), to the average vanadium pentoxide price of the prior year. Upon commencement of production, Prophecy will maintain its acquisition through lease of the Gibellini group of claims by paying to the Gibellini Lessor, a 2.5% NSR until a total of US$3,000,000 is paid. Thereafter, the NSR will be reduced to 2% over the remaining life of the mine (and referred to thereafter, as “production royalty payments”). All advance royalty payments made, will be deducted as credits against future production royalty payments. The lease is for a term of 10 years, which can be extended for an additional 10 years at Prophecy’s option.
 
On April 23, 2018, the Company announced an amendment to the Gibellini MLA, whereby Prophecy has been granted the right to cause the Gibellini Lessor of the Gibellini mineral claims to transfer their title to the claims to Prophecy. With the amendment, Prophecy will have the option to, at any time during the term of the Gibellini MLA, require the Gibellini Lessor to transfer title over all of the leased, unpatented lode mining claims (excluding four claims which will be retained by the Gibellini Lessor (the “Transferred Claims”) to Prophecy in exchange for US$1,000,000, to be paid as an advance royalty payment (the “Transfer Payment”). A credit of US$99,027 in favour of Prophecy towards the Transfer Payment is already paid upon signing of the amendment, with the remaining US$900,973 portion of the Transfer Payment due and payable by Prophecy to the Gibellini Lessor upon completion of transfer of the Transferred Claims from the Gibellini Lessor to Prophecy. The advance royalty obligation and production royalty will not be affected, reduced or relieved by the transfer of title.
 
On June 22, 2019, the Company paid US$120,000 (2018 – US$101,943) of the annual royalty payment to the Gibellini Lessor.
 
VC Exploration Group
 
On February 15, 2018, the Company acquired 105 unpatented lode mining claims located adjacent to its Gibellini Project through the acquisition of 1104002 B.C. Ltd. and its Nevada subsidiary VC Exploration (US) Inc. (“VC Exploration”) by paying a total of $335,661 in cash and issuing 500,000 Share purchase warrants (valued at
$89,944) to arm’s-length, private parties. Each warrant entitles the holder upon exercise, to acquire one Share of the Company at a price of $0.50 per Share until February 15, 2021. The acquisition of the VC Exploration has been accounted for as an asset acquisition as their activities at the time of the acquisition consisted of mineral claims only.
 
On July 13, 2017, the Company acquired (through lease under the mineral lease agreement “Louie Hill MLA”) from the holders (the “Former Louie Hill Lessors”) 10 unpatented lode claims totaling approximately 207 acres that comprised the Louie Hill group of claims located approximately 500 meters south of the Gibellini group of claims. These claims were subsequently abandoned by the holders, and on March 11, 2018 and March 12, 2018, the Company’s wholly owned US subsidiaries, Vanadium Gibellini Company LLC and VC Exploration (US) Inc., staked the area within and under 17 new claims totaling approximately 340 gross acres which now collectively comprise the expanded Louie Hill group of claims.

Gibellini Project, Nevada, United States (cont’d…)
 
Under the Louie Hill MLA, the Company is required to make payments as follows: cash payment of US$10,000 (paid), annual advance royalty payments which will be tied, based on an agreed formula (not to exceed US$28,000 per year), to the average vanadium pentoxide price for the prior year. Upon commencement of production, Prophecy will pay to the Former Louie Hill Lessors, a 2.5% NSR of which, 1.5% of the NSR may be purchased at
any time by Prophecy for US$1,000,000, leaving the total NSR to be reduced to 1% over the remaining life of the mine (and referred to thereafter, as “production royalty payments”). All advance royalty payments made, will be
deducted as credits against future production royalty payments. The lease will be for a term of 10 years, which can be extended for an additional 10 years at Prophecy’s option.
 
On October 22, 2018, the Company and Former Louie Hill Lessors entered into a royalty agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) that terminated the Louie Hill MLA and provides for the Company to pay the following royalties to the Former Louie Hill Lessors  as an advance royalty: (i) US$75,000 upon the Company achieving Commercial Production (as defined in the Royalty Agreement) at its Gibellini Project; (ii) US$50,000 upon the Company selling, conveying, transferring or assigning all or any portion of certain claims defined in the Royalty Agreement to any third party and (iii) annually upon the anniversary date of July 10, 2018 and the like day thereafter during the term of the Royalty Agreement: (a) if the average vanadium pentoxide price per pound as quoted on www.metalbulletin.com (the “Metal Bulletin”) or another reliable and reputable industry source as agreed by the parties, remains below US$7.00/lb during the preceding 12 months, US$12,500; or (b) if the average vanadium pentoxide price per pound as quoted on Metal Bulletin or another reliable and reputable industry source as agreed by the parties, remains equal to or above US$7.00/lb during the preceding 12 months, US$2,000 x average vanadium pentoxide price per pound up to a maximum annual advance royalty payment of US$28,000. Further, the Company will pay to the Former Louie Hill Lessors a production royalty of 2.5% of the net smelter returns of vanadium produced from the royalty area and sold. Prophecy has an option to purchase 1.5% of the 2.5% of the production royalty from the Former Louie Hill Lessors for US$1,000,000.
 
On June 18, 2019, the Company paid US$28,000 (2018 – US$21,491) of the annual royalty payment to the Louie Hill Lessor.
 
On February 15, 2018, the Company acquired 105 unpatented lode mining claims located adjacent to its Gibellini Project through the acquisition of 1104002 B.C. Ltd. and its Nevada subsidiary VC Exploration (US) Inc. (“VC Exploration”) by paying a total of $335,661 in cash and issuing 500,000 Share purchase warrants (valued at

The acquisition of the VC Exploration has been accounted for as an asset acquisition as their activities at the time of the acquisition consisted of mineral claims only.
 
Prophecy Group
 
During 2017 and 2018, the Company expanded the land position at the Gibellini Project, by staking a total of 209 new claims immediately adjacent to the Gibellini Project covering 4091 acres.

MINERAL PROPERTIES (cont’d...)
 
Pulacayo Paca Property, Bolivia
 
The Pulacayo property, a silver-lead-zinc project located in southwestern Bolivia, was acquired on January 2, 2015 through the acquisition of 100% of Apogee’s interest in ASC Holdings Limited and ASC Bolivia LDC, which together, hold ASC Bolivia LDC Sucursal Bolivia (“ASC”), which in turn, holds a joint venture interest in the Pulacayo Project.
 
ASC controls the mining rights to the Pulacayo Project through a joint venture agreement entered into between itself and the Pulacayo Ltda. Mining Cooperative on July 30, 2002 (the “ASC Joint Venture”). The ASC Joint Venture has a term of 23 years which commenced the day the ASC Joint Venture was entered into. Pursuant to the ASC Joint Venture, ASC is committed to pay monthly rent of US$1,000 to the state-owned Mining Corporation of Bolivia, COMIBOL and US$1,500 monthly rent to the Pulacayo Ltda. Mining Cooperative until the Pulacayo Project starts commercial production.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined there were several indicators of potential impairment of the carrying value of the Pulacayo Paca property. As result, in accordance with IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources and IAS 36, Impairment of Assets, at December 31, 2018, the Company assessed the recoverable amount of the Pulacayo Paca property exploration costs and determined that its value in use is $nil. As at December 31, 2018, the recoverable amount of $nil resulted in an impairment charge of $13,708,200 against the value of the deferred exploration costs, which was reflected on the consolidated statement of operations. As at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were no changes to the impairment assessment and accordingly costs incurred during the period of $721,381 were written off.
 
After the period end, the Company signed the Pulacayo Mining Production Contract (“MPC”) with the COMIBOL, which grants Prophecy the 100% exclusive right to develop and mine at the Pulacayo and Paca concessions for up to 30 years. Due to a positive change in the project development, the Company intends to carry out an impairment review in relation to the Pulacayo Paca Property exploration and evaluations assets and related CGU in order to determine a recoverable amount.
 
Impaired Properties
 
Chandgana Properties, Mongolia
 
Chandgana Tal Property: In March 2006, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Chandgana Tal property, a coal exploration property consisting of two exploration licenses located in the northeast part of the Nyalga coal basin, approximately 290 kilometers east of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. In March 2011, the Company obtained a mine permit from Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy for the Chandgana Tal coal project.
 
Khavtgai Uul Property: In 2007, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Chandgana Khavtgai property, a coal exploration property consisting of one license located in the northeast part of the Nyalga coal basin.
 
Impairment of Chandgana Properties
 
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company determined there were several indicators of potential impairment of the carrying value of the Chandgana Tal and Khavtgai Uul properties. As result, in accordance with IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources and IAS 36, Impairment of Assets, at December 31, 2017, the Company assessed the recoverable amount of the Chandgana Properties deferred exploration costs and determined that its value in use is $nil. As at December 31, 2017, the recoverable amount of $nil resulted in an impairment charge of $14,733,067 against the value of the deferred exploration costs, which was reflected on the consolidated statement of operations. As at and for the period ended September 30, 2019, there were no changes to the impairment assessment and accordingly at September 30, 2019, the impaired value of $nil remains unchanged.

Titan Property, Ontario, Canada
 
The Company has a 100% interest in the Titan property, a vanadium-titanium-iron project located in Ontario, Canada. In January 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement with Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) whereby Prophecy Resource Corp. had the right to acquire an 80% interest in the Titan property by paying Randsburg an aggregate of $500,000 (paid), and by incurring exploration expenditures of $200,000 by
 
December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the option agreement, Randsburg has the option to sell the remaining 20% interest in the Titan property to the Company for $150,000 cash or 400,000 Shares of the Company.
 
At December 31, 2014, due to market conditions, the Company impaired the value of the property to $nil. On February 10, 2017, the Company negotiated with Randsburg to acquire the remaining 20% title interest of Randsburg in the Titan project by issuing to Randsburg 200,000 Shares at a value of $0.48 per Share. As there were no benchmark or market changes from January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2019 the impaired value of $nil for Titan property remains unchanged.

On July 29, 2019, further to the voluntary forfeiture of share options held by certain directors, officers, and employees with expiry dates on April 7, 2020, June 22, 2020, and November 14, 2023, at exercise prices ranging
from $0.50 to $0.65, the Company granted 794,000 new stock options to such individuals with an expiry date of July 29, 2024 at an exercise price of $0.20 per Share subject to a two-year vesting schedule whereby 12.5% per quarter following the date of grant. As at September 30, 2019, the re-issuing of these options had been approved by the TSX, but they had not been approved by the shareholders; consequently, these options were not valued. Shareholder approval of the re-issuing of these options will be sought at the 2020 AGM.
 
Share-based payment expenses resulting from stock options are amortized over the corresponding vesting period. The nine months ended September 30, 2019, included $232,602 (same period 2018 - $417,582) in share-based payment costs related to stock options expensed as general and administrative expenses and 100,752 (same period 2018 – $141,659) capitalized to mineral properties. The share-based payment expenses were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate – 1.46; expected life – 4.5 years; expected volatility – 134%; expected dividends – Nil.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
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. Prophecy utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 – 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; and

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURES
 
(a) 
Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by preparing cash flow forecasts of upcoming cash requirements. As at September 30, 2019, the Company had a cash balance of $1,983,818 (December 31, 2018 – $5,304,097). As at September 30, 2019, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,629,111 (December 31, 2018 - $1,636,786), which have contractual maturities of 90 days or less.
 
(b) 
Credit risk
 
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily associated to cash and restricted cash equivalents and receivables, net of allowances. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to these financial instruments is remote as the balances primarily consist of amounts

 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURES (cont’d…)
 
(b) 
Credit risk (cont’d…)
 
on deposit with a major financial institution and amounts receivable from the Government of Canada. The carrying amount of assets included on the statements of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure.
 
(c) 
Market risk
 
The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and commodity and equity price risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.
 
(i) 
Interest rate risk
 
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s cash and restricted cash equivalents primarily include highly liquid investments that earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity. Due to the short term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have significant impact on the fair values of the financial instruments as of September 30, 2019.
 
(ii) 
Foreign currency risk
 
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars.
 
The Company has exploration and development projects in the United States, Mongolia and Bolivia and undertakes transactions in various foreign currencies. The Company is therefore exposed to foreign currency risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency and the translation of financial instruments denominated in US dollars, Mongolian tugrik, and Bolivian boliviano into its functional and reporting currency, the Canadian dollar.
 
Based on the above, net exposures as at September 30, 2019, with other variables unchanged, a 10% (December 31, 2018 – 10%) strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the Mongolian tugrik would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $146,000. A 10% strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the Bolivian boliviano would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $80,000. A 10% strengthening (weakening) of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $53,000. The Company currently does not use any foreign exchange contracts to hedge this currency risk.
 
(iii) 
Commodity and equity price risk
 
Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. Commodity prices fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. The supply and demand for these commodities, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, investment decisions by large holders of commodities including governmental reserves and stability of exchange rates can all cause significant fluctuations in prices. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns and monetary systems and political developments.

The Company is also exposed to price risk with regards to equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market
 
The Company closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. Fluctuations in value may be significant.

CONTINGENCIES
 
ASC tax claim
 
On January 2, 2015, the Company acquired ASC Holdings Limited and ASC Bolivia LDC (which together, hold ASC Bolivia LDC Sucursal Bolivia, which in turn, held Apogee Silver Ltd.’s (“Apogee”) joint venture interest in the Pulacayo Project) and Apogee Minerals Bolivia S.A. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Prophecy agreed to assume all liabilities of these former Apogee subsidiaries, including legal and tax liabilities associated with the Pulacayo Project.  During Apogee’s financial year ended June 30, 2014, it received notice from the Servicio de Impuestos Nacionales, the national tax authority in Bolivia, that ASC Bolivia LDC Sucursal Bolivia, now the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, owed approximately Bs42,000,000 ($7,952,700) in taxes, interest and penalties relating to a historical tax liability in an amount originally assessed at approximately $760,000 in 2004, prior to Apogee acquiring the subsidiary in 2011. 
 
Apogee disputed the assessment and disclosed to the Company that it believed the notice was improperly issued.  The Company continued to dispute the assessment and hired local legal counsel to pursue an appeal of the tax authority’s assessment on both substantive and procedural grounds. The Company received a positive Resolution issued by the Bolivian Constitutional Court that among other things, declared null and void the previous Resolution of the Bolivian Supreme Court issued in 2011 (that imposed the tax liability on ASC Bolivia LDC Sucursal Bolivia) and sent the matter back to the Supreme court to consider and issue a new resolution.

CONTINGENCIES (cont’d…)
 
ASC tax claim (cont’d…)
 
During the period ended September 30, 2019, the Company and legal counsel reassessed the status of tax rulings and determined that the probability of a re-issuance of a tax claim against the Company in connection with the above was remote. As a result, the Company has written off the tax liability and recorded a debt settlement gain in the amount of $7,952,700 on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
 
There can be no assurance that the national tax authority in Bolivia will not re-commence appeals on the above rulings.
Red Hill tax claim
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Hill Mongolia LLC (“Red Hill”) was issued a letter from the Sukhbaatar District Tax Division notifying it of the results of the Sukhbaatar District Tax Division’s VAT inspection of Red Hill’s 2009-2013 tax imposition and payments that resulted in validating VAT credits of only MNT235,718,533 from Red Hill’s claimed VAT credit of MNT2,654,175,507. Red Hill disagreed with the Sukhbaatar District Tax Division’s findings as the tax assessment appeared to the Company to be unfounded.  The Company disputed the Sukhbaatar District Tax Division’s assessment and submitted a complaint to the Capital City Tax Tribunal.  On March 24, 2015, the Capital City Tax Tribunal resolved to refer the matter back to the Sukhbaatar District Tax Division for revision and separation of the action between confirmation of Red Hill’s VAT credit, and the imposition of the penalty/deduction for the tax assessment. Due to the uncertainty of realizing the VAT balance, the Company has recorded an impairment charge for the full VAT balance in the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
In June 2019, the Company received a positive resolution issued from the City tax tribunal regarding the Company’s VAT dispute with the Mongolia tax office. The resolution, which is binding and final, affirmed Red Hill’s outstanding VAT credit of 1.169 billion MNT resulted from past mining equipment purchases.
 
The VAT credit can be used to offset Prophecy’s taxes and royalty payments; or be refunded in cash by Mongolia’s Ministry of Finance within 12 to 24 months processing time.
