Phase 2:

 

To acquire a 90% interest in the property within the First Guayabales Option, the Company must incur a minimum of $10,000,000 of exploration and evaluation expenditures in respect of such property and total option payments $2,000,000, payable in equal instalments of $166,666 semi-annually over a maximum six-year term, commencing at the end of Phase 1.

 

Phase 3:

 

To acquire the remaining 10% interest in the property within the First Guayabales Option, the Company has the following options:

 

provide notice that the Company has elected to pay a 1% net smelter return (“NSR”) commencing on the first calendar day of each month after 85% of the processing plant capacity has been achieved in exchange for the remaining 10% interest;

 

acquire 0.625% each year to a total of 10% by paying $250,000 semi-annually, commencing at the end of Phase 2, to a total of $8,000,000 in lieu of the NSR; or

 

pay a one-time payment of $8,000,000 in lieu of the NSR.

 

In addition, the Company is required to fund and complete all development and construction activities to bring the project to commercial production.

 

Summary:

 

The following is a summary of the option payments and exploration expenditures required to acquire 100% of the property under the First Guayabales Option:

 

      Option Payments   Exploration Expenditures   Total 
      $   $   $ 
Phase 1  June 24, 2020 – June 24, 2024  2,000,000   3,000,000   5,000,000 
Phase 2  June 24, 2024 – June 24, 2030   2,000,000    10,000,000    12,000,000 
Phase 3  To commercial production   8,000,0001       8,000,000 
       12,000,000    13,000,000    25,000,000 

 

1Based on the assumption that the Company does not elect to pay the NSR.

 

The Company has the option to terminate the agreement at any time, upon notification to the optionor. As a result, the Company has not recognized any option payments payable in the future under the agreement in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company has recognized $2,810,104 and $4,475,233, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 – $3,377,231 and $5,324,839, respectively), including option payments of $250,000 (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 – $nil and $250,000, respectively), as exploration and evaluation expense in the consolidated statement of operations in respect of the First Guayabales Option.

On October 25, 2022, the Company closed a Bought Deal Offering (the “October 2022 Offering”) of C$10,762,650 ($7,890,716), conducted by a syndicate of underwriters, and consisted of the sale of 4,783,400 Units at a price of C$2.25 per Unit.

 

Each Unit consisted of one common share of CML and one-half share purchase warrant of CML (each whole warrant, a “Subscription Warrant”). Each Subscription Warrant has an exercise price of C$3.25 with an expiry date on April 25, 2024.

 

The Warrants are classified as derivative financial liabilities as they are denominated in Canadian dollars and the Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. Proceeds from the Offering October 2022 are allocated between Common Shares and Subscription Warrants on the residual fair value method within the unit.

 

The issue date fair value of the Warrants was determined to be C$0.55 per warrant with the resulting allocation of the total proceeds for the Offering October 2022 being:

 

   C$   $ 
Warrants liability – Subscription Warrants  1,326,628   972,627 
Share capital – Subscription Shares   9,436,022    6,918,089 
Total gross proceeds   10,762,650    7,890,716 

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a derivative loss of $237,774 and $145,555, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 – $2,334,229 and $3,774,274, respectively) in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the revaluation of the Warrants.

 

As at June 30, 2024, there were no outstanding Subscription Warrants – October 2022 Offering and the balance of the warrants was $nil. As at April 25, 2024, all 2,391,700 Subscription Warrants – October 2022 were exercised with total proceeds received of $5,702,773 (C$7,773,025) representing the exercise of all Subscription Warrants.

 

(b)Subscription Warrants – March 2024 Offering

 

On March 4, 2024, the Company closed a strategic investment by a single purchaser on a non-brokered private placement (the “March 2024 Offering”) of C$18,900,000 ($13,925,729). The March 2024 Offering consisted of the sale of 4,500,000 Units at a price of C$4.20 per Unit.

 

Each Unit was comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (“Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share, subject to standard anti-dilution provisions, at a price of $5.01 until March 4, 2027, however the Company has the right to accelerate the expiry of the Subscription Warrants to the date which is 30 trading days following the date a notice is provided in the event that the Company’s closing price on the TSX remains equal to or higher than $6.00 for 20 consecutive trading days following the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date.

The Warrants are classified as derivative financial liabilities as they are denominated in Canadian dollars and the Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. Proceeds from the March 2024 Offering are allocated between Common Shares and Subscription Warrants based on the residual fair value method within the unit.

 

The issue date fair value of the Warrants was determined to be C$0.72 per warrant with the resulting allocation of the total proceeds for the March 2024 Offering being:

 

   C$   $ 
Warrants liability – Subscription Warrants  1,620,000   1,193,634 
Share capital – Subscription Shares   17,280,000    12,732,095 
Total gross proceeds   18,900,000    13,925,729 

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a derivative gain of $812,960 and $611,760, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the revaluation of the Warrants.

 

Fair value for the Subscription Warrants was determined using the binomial option pricing model following weighted average assumptions as at June 30, 2024:

 

Weighted average share price  C$3.18 
Weighted average risk-free interest rate   4.01%
Weighted average dividend yield   Nil 
Weighted average stock price volatility   41.38%
Weighted average period to expiry (years)   2.68

Financial Instrument Disclosures

 

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted (including the criteria for recognition, the bases of measurement and the bases for recognition of income and expenses) for each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 4 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Fair value measurement

 

Fair market value represents the amount that would be exchanged in an arm’s length transaction between willing parties and is best evidenced by a quoted market price, if one exists.

 

Fair value measurement is determined based on the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and

 

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

 

The carrying values for financial assets and liabilities for cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values as at June 30, 2024.

 

Other financial liabilities as at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – $1,638,808) were as follows:

 

As at June 30, 2024  FVTPL   FVOCI   Amortized Cost   Total 
   $   $   $   $ 
Financial liabilities        
Warrants liability (level 2)  581,876     –        581,876 

 

There were no transfers between the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

12.FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

(a)Financial Risk Management

 

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, which include currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

 

Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management with guidance from and policies approved by the Board of Directors.

 

Financial Risk Factors

 

Foreign currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company conducts some of its operating, financing and investing activities in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company is therefore subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to foreign exchange risk.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the exchange rates were COP:US$4,148.04, based on Banco de la Republica – Colombia, and CAD:US$0.7306, based on Bank of Canada, respectively (December 31, 2023, COP:US$3,822.05 and CAD:US$0.7561, respectively).

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the average was COP:US$3,920.48 and CAD:US$0.7361, respectively (six months ended June 30, 2023, COP:US$4,595.11 and CAD:US$0.7410, respectively).

 

The Company had the following foreign currency balances:

Lease liability  COP (000’s)   (457,494)   (119,698)

 

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations on the balances that are denominated in Canadian dollars and Colombian pesos. As at June 30, 2024, had both the Canadian dollar and the Colombian peso strengthened/weakened by 10% against U.S. dollar with all other variables held constant, the Company’s would have reported an increase/reduction in the net loss for the period ended June 30, 2024, of $1,645,000 and $2,012,000, respectively.

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter party’s inability to fulfil its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from its properties. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held with banks in Canada and Colombia. Funds held in banks in Colombia are limited to yearly forecasted Colombian denominated expenses. The Company limits material counterparty credit risk on these assets by dealing with financial institutions with credit ratings of at least “A” or equivalent, or those which have been otherwise approved. Receivables mainly consist of receivables for refundable commodity taxes in Canada and Colombia. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to remaining amounts receivable is minimal.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as maintenance of liquidity. The Company manages its liquidity risk by proactively mitigating exposure through cash management, including forecasting its liquidity requirements with available funds and anticipated investing and financing activities.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the cash balance was $21,135,511. However, the cash balance is not sufficient to meet all of its future obligations in respect of the option contracts in Note 18 if the Company elects to exercise all its options in respect of all the contracts. Thus, continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to develop a sufficient financing plan, receive continued financial support from existing shareholders and/or new shareholders or through other arrangements, complete sufficient public equity financing, or generate profitable operations in the future.

 

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the impact that changes in interest rates could have on the Company’s earnings and liabilities. The Company’s cash balances are not subject to significant interest rate risk as balances are current.

 

(b)Capital Management

 

The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration and evaluation of its mineral interests. The Company mainly relies on equity issuances to raise new capital. The capital structure of the Company includes the components of equity as well as cash and cash equivalents.

 

On November 10, 2021, the Company filed a short form base shelf prospectus which will allow the Company to issue common shares, warrants, subscriptions receipts, units of debt securities among others for up to an aggregate total of C$100,000,000. The initial base shelf prospectus was effective until December 2023.

 

In connection with the initial base shelf prospectus:

 

-On October 25, 2022, the Company closed the October 2022 Offering for a total of $7,891,000 (C$10,763,000) which consisted of the sale of 4,783,400 units at a price of C$2.25 per unit.

 

-On March 22, 2023, the Company closed the March 2023 Offering for a total of $21,882,311 (C$30,005,000) which consisted of the sale of 7,060,000 shares at a price of C$4.25 per share.

 

On December 6, 2023, the Company filed a new short form base shelf prospectus which will allow the Company to issue common shares, warrants, subscriptions receipts, units or debt securities, or a combination thereof up to an aggregate total of C$200,000,000. The new base shelf prospectus replaces the one approved on November 10, 2021, and remains effective until January 2026.

The Company prepares annual estimates of exploration and administrative expenditures and monitors actual expenditures compared to estimates to ensure that there is sufficient capital on hand to meet ongoing obligations. The Company maintains its cash in highly liquid short-term deposits which can be liquidated immediately without interest or penalty.

 

The Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management has remained consistent for the period ended June 30, 2024.

14.Earnings per share

 

(a)Basic

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as follows:

 

For the six months ended June 30  2024   2023 
         
Net loss  (11,057,158)  (10,071,222)
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding   66,479,549    61,152,778 
Basic net loss per common share  $(0.17)  $(0.16)

 

(b)Diluted

 

The Company incurred a net loss for each of the periods of three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023; therefore, all outstanding stock options and share warrants have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

15.SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

 

The Company adopted a stock option plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to the Securities Act of Ontario (the “Act”). The aggregate maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and all other security-based compensation arrangements (together “Share Compensation Arrangements”) at any given time is 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares as at the date of the grant of the Share Compensation Arrangement. Any shares subject to a stock option under the Plan which have been exercised, cancelled, repurchased, expired or terminated in accordance with the Plan will again be available under the Plan.

 

Under the Plan, the Company may grant to directors, officers, employees, and consultants stock options to purchase common shares of the Company. Stock options granted under the Plan will be for a term not to exceed 10 years.

 

The continuity of stock options during the period were as follows:

 

   2024   2023 
   Number of stock options   Weighted average exercise price   Number of stock options   Weighted average exercise price 
       C$       C$
