All subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the Company obtained control until the date that its control ceases. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from the subsidiaries and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated through the consolidation process. The accounts of all subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

As at March 31, 2024, long-term investment comprises a $1,587 (C$2 million) (December 31, 2023 : $1,587 (C$2 million)) representing a 12.5% equity interest in Prospector Royalty Corp. ("PRC"), a private company. The investment grants the Company access to PRC's extensive digital royalty database and includes a royalty referral agreement facilitating the acquisition of identified royalties.

5. Gold-linked loan

On December 19, 2023 (the "Advance Date"), the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Borborema Inc. (the "Borrower"), providing the Borrower with project financing for its Borborema Project of $10,000. The loan is secured against certain assets of the Borrower, and bears interest at 110 ounces of gold per quarter, and is payable through cash settlement or physical delivery of gold. The Borrower has the option to prepay the loan with all interest accrued and unpaid after 24 months following the Advance Date. The Borrower will have the option to elect its choice of payment (the "Prepayment Option").

The loan is classified as a financial asset and measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The Prepayment Option has been accounted for as part of the fair value of the loan in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The fair value of the loan is remeasured on the reporting date and the change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

As at March 31, 2024, the fair value of the loan has been estimated using a discounted cash-flow approach based on the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.93%, calibrated credit spread of 3.05%, estimated long-term gold price of $1,765 per ounce and expected volatility of gold of 14.45%. The Company recorded a fair value gain on the loan of $639 in change in fair value of gold-linked loan in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

6. Bank loan

On January 24, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal providing for a $10,000 secured revolving credit facility (the "Facility"), that includes an accordion feature providing for an additional $15,000 of availability (the "Accordion"), subject to certain conditions. The Facility, secured against certain assets of the Company, is available for general corporate purposes, acquisitions, and investments subject to certain limitations. Amounts drawn on the Facility bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the U.S. dollar Base Rate plus a margin of 3.00% per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 4.00% per annum, as applicable, and the undrawn portion is subject to a standby fee of 0.90% per annum. The Adjusted Term SOFR shall mean on any day the Term SOFR Reference Rate as published by the Term SOFR Administrator for the tenor comparable to the applicable interest period, plus certain credit spread adjustments.

On September 14, 2022, the Company extended the maturity date of the Facility with Bank of Montreal from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2025, with an Accordion option, subject to conditions. On February 10, 2023, the Company expanded the Facility to $20,000 with an additional $15,000 accordion option. On February 17, 2023, the Company drew down $10,287 to settle the Facility. On August 30, 2023, the Facility was increased to $25,000 with a $10,000 accordion option. On August 24, 2023, it drew $7,500 to acquire Cozamin. On December 15, 2023, it settled the Additional Drawdown, leaving a balance of $10,287 as of March 31, 2024.

7. Convertible debentures

On December 15, 2023, the Company completed a private placement of $40,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") with Queen's Road Capital Investment Ltd. ("QRC") and Taurus Mining Royalty Fund L.P., a fund managed by Taurus Funds Management Pte Limited. The Debentures are unsecured and bear interest at 10% per annum over a 5-year term, interest is payable 70% in cash and 30% in common shares issuable at a price equal to the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price ("VWAP") calculated at each interest payment date.

The Company identified the Debentures as compound financial instruments. In accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, the liability component excluding the Redemption Option (the "Host Contract") are classified as debt instruments and are measured at amortized cost.

The Company will be entitled to redeem the Debentures at par within a period of fourteen days from the third anniversary of the date of the issuance of the Debentures. Should the Company exercise its right to redeem the Debentures during this period, the holders are entitled to convert all of the outstanding Debentures into Common Shares at a conversion price of US$1.75 (the "Redemption Options"). The Redemption Options are identified as embedded derivatives in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and estimated at $1,951 on the issuance (Note 8).

The Debentures will be convertible at the holder's option into Common Shares at a conversion price of $1.90 (the "Conversion Options"). As the number of Common Shares to be issued under the Conversion Options is determined as the converted amount of the Debentures divided by the fixed conversion price of $1.90, the Conversion Options were accounted for separately as equity instruments in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The Conversion Options were recognized at the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined for the liability component, in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

On the issuance date, principal of $23,471 was allocated to the Host Contract, $1,951 was allocated to the Redemption Options as embedded derivatives (Note 8) and the residual value of $14,578 was allocated to the Conversion Options as equity. A deferred tax liability of $2,309 related to the taxable temporary difference arising from the equity portion of the Debentures was recognized as an offset in equity. The Company incurred transaction costs and fees of $1,481 for the issuance of the Debentures, of which $943 was allocated as an reduction to the liability portion and the residual value of $538 was allocated as reduction to the Conversion Options as equity.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized interest expense of $1,047 and accretion of $395, resulting in a total finance cost on the debentures of $1,442.

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, gold-linked loan, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease obligation, bank loan, convertible debentures, embedded derivatives, and derivative liabilities.

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair value which are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company's short investments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently revalued to their fair market value at each period end based on inputs such as quoted equity prices. The Company's short-term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the gold-linked loan is classified as Level 3 and is determined based on a discounted cash flow approach, which includes significant inputs not based on observable market data such as long-term gold price and expected volatility of gold.

The Company's long-term investments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently revalued to their fair market value at each period end based on inputs such as quoted equity prices. The fair value of the long-term investment is classified as Level 3 and measured based on data such as the price paid by arm's length parties in a recent transaction.

The fair value of the embedded derivatives related to the convertible debentures is classified as Level 3 and is determined using the White Hull one factor model, which includes significant inputs not based on observable market data such as expected credit spread.

The fair value of the Company's other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short term to maturity. Bank loan, convertible debentures, and lease obligations are measured at amortized cost. The fair value of the bank loan and lease obligation approximate their carrying values as their interest rates are comparable to current market rates. The fair value of the convertible debentures approximates their carrying values as there were not significant changes in economic and risk parameters or assumptions related to the convertible debentures since the issuance.

13. Financial instruments (continued)

13.1 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, equity price risk and interest rate risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

13.2 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company's bank balances and accounts receivable. The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balances by holding cash with Schedule I chartered banks in Canada and their US affiliates. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is equivalent to the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents in excess of the amount of government deposit insurance coverage for each financial institution and accounts receivable. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company closely monitors its financial assets.

13.3 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations. The Company’s working capital (current assets less current liabilities) as at March 31, 2024, was $1,997 compared to $1,695 as at December 31, 2023. The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities are expected to be realized or settled, respectively, within a one-year period.

The Company's future profitability will be dependent on the royalty income to be received from mine operators. Royalties are based on a percentage of the minerals, or the products produced, or revenue or profits generated from the property which is typically dependent on the prices of the minerals the property operators are able to realize. Mineral prices are affected by numerous factors such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and global and regional supply and demand. In managing liquidity risk, the Company takes into account the anticipated cash flows from operating activities and its holding of cash and short-term investments. The Company believes it has the adequate liquidity to meet its obligations and to finance its planned activities.

13.4 Currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when the Company undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities in currencies other than its functional currency. The Company currently does not engage in foreign exchange currency hedging. The currency risk on the Company's cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and derivative liabilities are minimal.

13.5 Equity price risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk associated with its investments in other mining companies. The Company's short-term investments consisting of common shares are exposed to significant equity price risk due to the potentially volatile and speculative nature of the businesses in which the investments are held. Based on the Company's short-term investments held as at March 31, 2024, a 10% change in the market price of these investments would have an impact of approximately $32 on net loss. The Company is not exposed to significant equity price risk related to its marketable securities.

13.6 Interest rate risk

The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises from the impact of interest rates on its cash and secured revolving credit facility, which bear interest at fixed or variable rates. The interest rate risks on the Company's cash balances are minimal. The Company's secured revolving credit facility bears interest at a rate determined by reference to the U.S. dollar Base Rate plus a margin of 3.00% or Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 4.00%, as applicable and an increase (decrease) of 10 basis point in the applicable rate of interest would not have a significant impact on the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company's lease liability is determined using the interest rate implicit in the lease and an increase (decrease) of 10 basis points would not have a significant impact on the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

14. Related party transactions

14.1 Related Party Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred finance costs of $1,082 to QRC on the Debentures. Warren Gilman, director of the Company, is the chairman and chief executive officer of QRC. Related party transactions are based on the amounts agreed to by the parties. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not enter into any contracts or undertake any commitment with any related parties other than as described herein.
