Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited – United States dollars, unless otherwise stated). All currency figures in tables are in thousands, except per-share amounts)

 

1.CORPORATE INFORMATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Orla Mining Ltd. was incorporated in Alberta in 2007 and was continued into British Columbia in 2010 and subsequently into Ontario under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) in 2014. The “Company”, “Orla”, “we”, and “our” refer to Orla Mining Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The registered office of the Company is located at Suite 202, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, Canada.

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and exploitation of mineral properties, and holds the Camino Rojo gold and silver project in Zacatecas State, Mexico, and the Cerro Quema gold project in Panama.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. A different basis of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months involves significant judgment. As at September 30, 2021, the Company had not advanced any of its properties to commercial production and may require further financings.

Historically the Company's primary source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash through prospectus offerings and private placements to sophisticated investors and institutions. We have successfully raised equity and debt financing in many of the past few years, in the form of equity financings, the exercise of warrants and options, and debt. While we believe that this success will continue, our access to exploration and construction financing is always uncertain and there can be no assurance of continued access to sources of significant equity or debt funding until we can generate cash from operations. During the reporting period ended September 30, 2021 , we completed a $35 million equity financing. We expect to fund operating costs of the Company over the next twelve months with cash on hand and proceeds from the sale of metal. After considering our plans to mitigate the going concern risk, we have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the balance sheet date.

Since the beginning of 2020, there has been a global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which has had an impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the governments in the various jurisdictions where the Company conducts its activities. In common with all businesses in the jurisdictions in which we operate, our activities are restricted by government orders related to, among others, travel, business operations, and stay-at-home orders. As at September 30, 2021, and as of the date of these financial statements, mining and construction are permitted economic activities in the respective jurisdictions and our project sites are operating in compliance with the country specific and Company requirements. We are monitoring the potential impacts from the pandemic on areas including equipment delivery and logistics, materials for construction and operation, other necessities, as well as construction costs and schedule, and community and government relations. Delays to construction, permit amendments and exploration programs may occur due to the COVID-19 pandemic, notwithstanding the Company having taken steps to minimize potential impacts to the projects including additional costs related to COVID-19 safety measures.

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 «Interim Financial Reporting» and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements.

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

On November 12, 2021, the Board of Directors approved these condensed interim consolidated financial statements for issuance.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019.

We applied the same accounting policies in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements as those applied in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as noted here. In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements we made in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(a)Amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (“PP&E”) — Proceeds before Intended Use

In the process of constructing or making property, plant and equipment available for its intended use, we may produce and sell products generated by this PP&E. Under this amendment, proceeds from selling products before the related PP&E is available for use should be recognized in profit or loss, together with the costs of producing those products. We measure the cost of those products in accordance with IAS 2 “Inventories”. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with early application permitted. The amendment has no impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. We expect to early adopt this amendment.

4.MINERAL PROPERTIES UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION
(a)Camino Rojo Project

The Camino Rojo Project lies 190 km NE of the city of Zacatecas, 48 km S-SW of the town of Concepcion del Oro, and 54 km S-SE of Newmont Corporation’s (“Newmont”) Peñasquito Mine. In November 2017, we acquired the Camino Rojo Project, a gold and silver oxide heap leach project located in Zacatecas State, Mexico, from Goldcorp Inc. (now called Newmont Corporation). A 2% net smelter return royalty (the “Royalty”) on the sale of all metal production from the oxide material at Camino Rojo was granted to Newmont as part of the acquisition. The Royalty was subsequently acquired by Maverix Metals Inc. on October 29, 2020.

The Company and Newmont also entered into an option agreement regarding the potential development of sulphide operations at Camino Rojo. Pursuant to the option agreement, Newmont will, subject to the applicable sulphide project meeting certain thresholds, have an option to acquire a 60% or 70% interest in the applicable sulphide project (“Sulphide Option”). The Royalty excludes revenue on the sale of metals produced from a sulphide project. However, should Newmont decide not to elect to acquire an interest in an applicable sulphide project, Newmont would be entitled to a 2% net smelter return royalty on metals produced from the sulphide material.

The Company has received all permits and satisfied all conditions for the construction of a mine at Camino Rojo. Effective November 30, 2020, we reclassified this project to mineral properties under development and construction.

In February 2021, the Company completed a Layback Agreement with Fresnillo plc (“Fresnillo”) and certain of its subsidiaries, pursuant to which (a) the Company agreed to pay Fresnillo total cash consideration of US$62.8 million in staged payments until December 2023 (note 11) and (b) allows Orla to expand the Camino Rojo Project oxide pit onto part of Fresnillo’s mineral concession located immediately north of Orla’s property.

The following table summarizes the initial cost capitalized at closing:

5.MINERAL PROPERTIES

The Company’s mineral properties consist of the Cerro Quema Project and the Monitor Gold Project. The Camino Rojo Project is classified under Mineral Properties Under Development and Construction (see note 4).

(a)Cerro Quema Project

The Cerro Quema Project is located on the Azuero Peninsula in Los Santos Province, Panama. The project is at the exploration and development stage for a proposed open pit mine with process by heap leaching. We own the mineral rights as well as the surface rights over the current mineral resource areas, proposed mine development areas, and priority drill target areas.

The original 20-year terms for the exploitation concessions expired in February and March of 2017. The Company has applied for the prescribed ten-year extension to these concessions as it is entitled to under Panamanian mineral law. In March 2017, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry provided written confirmation to the Company that the extension applications had been received and that exploration work could continue while the Company awaits renewal of the concessions. As of the date of these financial statements, final concession renewals have not been received and are still under review. However, we continue to receive ongoing drilling, water use, environmental and other permits, and have paid concession taxes, and issued the annual reports in the normal course.

6.VALUE ADDED TAXES (“VAT”) RECOVERABLE

Our Mexican entities pay value added taxes (called “IVA” in Mexico) on certain goods and services we purchase. Value added taxes paid in Mexico are expected to be fully recoverable. However, IVA recovery returns in Mexico are subject to complex filing requirements and detailed audit or review by the fiscal authorities. Consequently, the amount and timing of refunds is uncertain. Accordingly, we have classified Mexican value added taxes recoverable as long term. Once the Company starts to receive these refunds, we will reassess the remaining claims to determine if any or all should be reclassified to current.

Subsequent to the reporting period, the Mexican tax authorities began issuing payments on these IVA claims to the Company. A total of 4.8 million pesos ($236,000) in IVA refunds had been received to the date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

9.CAMINO ROJO PROJECT LOAN

In December 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Trinity Capital Partners Corporation (“Trinity Capital”) and certain other lenders with respect to a credit debt facility of $125 million for the development of the Camino Rojo Oxide Gold Project (the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility provided a total of $125 million to the Company, available in three tranches, to be used for the development of the Camino Rojo Project, funding a portion of the Layback Agreement (note 4(a)), and normal course corporate purposes. The Company drew down the first tranche of $25 million in December 2019, the second tranche of $50 million in October 2020, and the third tranche of $50 million in April 2021. No further advances are available under this Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility is denominated in United States dollars, and bears interest at 8.80% per annum, payable quarterly, and is secured by all the assets of the Camino Rojo Project and the fixed assets of the Cerro Quema Project. The principal amount is due upon maturity at December 18, 2024, with no scheduled principal repayments prior to maturity. The Company may prepay the loan, in full or in part, at any time during the term without penalty, by using cash flow from operations. The Credit Facility does not impose on the Company any mandatory requirements of hedging, production payments, offtake, streams, or royalties.

(Unaudited – United States dollars, unless otherwise stated). All currency figures in tables are in thousands, except per-share amounts)

 

Upon draw down of the first tranche, in December 2019, the Company issued 32.5 million common share purchase warrants (with an exercise price of C$3.00 per warrant and expiry date of December 18, 2026) to the lenders in connection with the closing of the Credit Facility.

On December 1, 2020, we commenced capitalizing the interest on this loan to mineral properties under development and construction. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we capitalized $8.8 million (year ended December 31, 2020 - $0.7 million) (note 4).

10.NEWMONT LOAN

As part of the Company’s acquisition of the Camino Rojo Project from Newmont, Newmont agreed to provide interest-free loans to the Company for all the annual landholding costs on the Camino Rojo Project from November 2017 until December 2019. The loans are to be repaid upon declaration of commencement of commercial production of a heap leach operation at the Camino Rojo Project.

To the date of these financial statements, 219,446,000 Mexican pesos had been advanced by Newmont under this agreement. No further advances in respect of this loan are expected.

Because the loan is non-interest bearing, for accounting purposes at the date of each advance, we discount the expected payments using a risk-adjusted discount rate and an estimated repayment date.

19.SEGMENT INFORMATION
(a)Reportable segments

The operating and reportable segments of the Company are based on the reports which are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in making strategic resource allocation decisions. These operating segments are the Mexican project, the Panamanian project, and the corporate office. The projects are each managed by a dedicated General Manager and management team. Additionally, the corporate office oversees the plans and activities of early stage exploration projects, such as the Monitor Gold Project.

None of these segments yet generate revenue from external customers. The Camino Rojo Project in Mexico is currently in construction and is expected to generate revenue in the coming months, while the Cerro Quema Project in Panama is focused on the exploration and evaluation of its mineral properties.

(b)Geographic segments

We conduct our activities in four geographic areas: Mexico, Panama, the United States, and Canada.

20.CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
(a)Objectives

Our objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration, evaluation, development, and exploitation of our mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure.

We manage our capital structure and adjust it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the Company’s capital structure, we may issue new shares, take on additional debt or repay outstanding debt, or acquire or dispose of assets. In order to prudently manage our uses of capital until we can generate revenue, we do not currently pay dividends.

Our ability to carry out our long-range strategic objectives in future periods depends on our ability to generate positive cash flows from our mining operations and to raise financing from lenders, shareholders, and new investors. We regularly review and consider financing alternatives to fund the Company’s ongoing exploration and development activities until these activities can be funded from ongoing cash flow from our mining operations.

(b)Investment policy

Our investment policy is to invest the Company’s excess cash in low risk financial instruments such as term deposits and savings accounts with major Canadian banks. By using this strategy, the Company preserves its cash resources and is able to marginally increase these resources with low risk through the yields on these investments. Our financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which include currency risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.

(Unaudited – United States dollars, unless otherwise stated). All currency figures in tables are in thousands, except per-share amounts)

 

(c)Project loan

At the end of 2019, we entered into a $125 million project loan (note 9) in respect of the Camino Rojo Project pursuant to which we had drawn $125 million as of September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $75 million). The project loan requires us to maintain a minimum working capital (adjusted for certain items) of $5 million.

(d)Decrease exposure to adverse movements in the Mexican peso

During this year, we entered into participating forward contracts for the purchase of Mexican pesos for the construction of the Camino Rojo Mine in order to decrease our exposure to adverse movements in the peso during the construction phase (see note 21(b)).

Other than entering into these peso forward contracts, there were no changes to our policy for capital management during the period ended September 30, 2021.

 

21.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a)Fair value hierarchy

To provide an indication of the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, we classify our financial instruments into the three levels prescribed by the accounting standards.

Level 1            The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded equity securities) is based on quoted (unadjusted) market prices as at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the closing trading price on the reporting date. Such instruments are included in Level 1.

Level 2           The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, we include that instrument in Level 2.

Level 3            If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. We have no financial assets or liabilities included in Level 3 of the hierarchy.

We determine whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.

At September 30, 2021, the carrying values and fair values of our financial instruments by category were as follows:

         Fair value
   Classification    Carrying

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited – United States dollars, unless otherwise stated). All currency figures in tables are in thousands, except per-share amounts)

 

The fair value of the Camino project loan at September 30, 2021 was estimated at $117.9 million (December 31, 2020 - $66.4 million) using a discount rate of 10.8% (December 31, 2020 - 10.8%). The fair value of the Newmont loan at September 30, 2021 was estimated at $10.2 million (December 31, 2020 - $9.9 million) using an exchange rate of 20.31 MXN/USD (December 31, 2020 - 19.95 MXN/USD) and a discount rate of 11.5% (December 31, 2020 - 10.5%).

 

(b)Derivative financial instruments

The Company entered into participating forward contracts for the purchase of Mexican pesos for use during the construction of the Camino Rojo Mine. The individual contracts mature monthly from April 2021 to December 2021. At September 30, 2021, the aggregate notional amount of these contracts was US$7,700,000 and the aggregate committed amount was US$3,850,000. The weighted average strike rate was 20.35 Mexican pesos per 1 US dollar.

We estimated the fair value of these contracts as a liability of $53,000 as at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 – nil). We recognized them as a derivative liability and have included in “Other losses (gains)” in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

We have classified these as FVTPL.

 

22.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a)Commitments

The Company has issued purchase orders for construction, equipment purchases, materials and supplies, and other services at the Camino Rojo mine. At September 30, 2021, these outstanding purchase orders totaled approximately $26,347,000 (December 31, 2020 - $49,050,000), which we expect will be filled in the next 12 months.

In the event of a change in control, the Company is committed to severance payments amounting to approximately $3,210,000 (December 31, 2020 - $3,000,000) to certain officers and management. No amounts have been recorded in these consolidated financial statements to reflect such severance payments.

(b)Litigation

We may, from time to time, be a party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, if resolved against us, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
