3.    Summary of Material Accounting Policies (cont.)
New accounting standards issued

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

The IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements that clarifies that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current depends on the rights existing at the end of the reporting period as opposed to the expectations of exercising the right for settlement of the liability. The amendments were effective January 1, 2024 and have been applied retrospectively. Under existing IAS 1 requirements, companies classify a liability as current when they do not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. The IASB has removed the requirement for a right to be unconditional and instead now requires that a right to defer settlement must exist at the reporting date and have substance. The amendments therefore resulted in a change in the classification of liabilities that can be settled in an entity's own shares. Previously, counterparty conversion options were not considered when classifying the related liabilities as current or non-current. Subsequent to the application of the amendments, when a liability includes a counterparty conversion option that may be settled by a transfer of an entity's own shares, the Company takes into account the conversion option in classifying the liability as current or non-current. The Company's convertible debentures and warrant liabilities were impacted by the amendments.

Previously, the Company's convertible debentures were recorded as long-term debt and were classified as current when the instrument was maturing within 12 months after the reporting period. However, given the holders of the debenture have the option from issuance to maturity to convert the principal into common shares of the Company, the related liability is classified as current as at January 1, 2023 under the revised policy because the conversion option can be exercised by the holders within 12 months after the reporting period. Similarly, the Company's warrant liabilities were previously classified as non-current and warrants expiring within 12 months after the reporting period were classified as current. Under the revised policy, the warrant liabilities are classified as current as at January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 because the warrants can be exercised by the holders at any time subsequent to issuance.

As a result of the adoption of the IAS 1 amendments, the statement of financial position as at January 1, 2023 has been restated, with a reclassification of $13.2 million from non-current portion of long-term debt to current portion of long-term debt, and a reclassification of $21.8 million from non-current portion of warrant liabilities to current portion of warrant liabilities. The statement of financial position as at December 31, 2023 has also been restated, with a reclassification of $11.0 million from non-current portion of warrant liabilities to current portion of warrant liabilities.

There was no impact on the statement of income (loss), statement of other comprehensive income (loss), statement of equity, and statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

New accounting standards issued but not effective

IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

The IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.

IFRS 18 applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted. The extent of the impact of adoption of this standard is currently under evaluation.

6.    Investments in Associates (cont.)
a)Soto Norte
The Company has a 20% interest in the Soto Norte gold project, with MDC Industry Holding Company LLC (“Mubadala”) holding the
remaining 80% interest. The Company is the operator of the joint venture company, and the joint venture partners will share project
costs on a pro-rata ownership basis (“Soto Norte Project”).

The following table summarizes the change in the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in Soto Norte:
Amount
Investment in associate as of December 31, 2022$100,772

The Company previously recognized a note payable related to the deferred $50 million tranche payment due to Mubadala. The note incurred interest at 7.5% and was amortized using the effective interest method, resulting in an effective interest rate of 11.87%. The note was repaid on March 21, 2023.

Company’s share of the net assets of Soto Norte – 20%
$109,373 $108,527 

b)Denarius
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Denarius Metals Corp. (“Denarius”) completed the following equity offerings:
a rights offering whereby the Company participated for less than its pro rata ownership interest and acquired 3,750,000 common shares in Denarius for cash consideration of $1.1 million, decreasing its equity interest in Denarius to approximately 24.9%; and
a private placement in which the Company did not participate, decreasing its equity investment in Denarius to approximately 17.2% as at December 31, 2023.
As a result of the reduced ownership percentage subsequent to the private placement, the Company concluded that it no longer had significant influence in the investee, and therefore, discontinued accounting for the investment using the equity method from April 4, 2023, being the date of the completion of the private placement and began carrying the investment at fair value through profit or loss. The Company recorded a loss on discontinuation of the equity method of $10.0 million and reclassified the fair value of the Denarius investment of $3.5 million to other financial assets. The loss was calculated as the difference between the fair value of Aris Mining’s retained interest and the carrying amount of the investment in Denarius at the date the equity method was discontinued, including a $1.9 million loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income that was reclassified to profit and loss on discontinuation of the equity method.

The Denarius Debenture will pay interest monthly at a rate of 12.0% per annum and also pay quarterly in cash an amount equal to the Gold Premium (as defined below) multiplied by the principal amount of the Denarius Debenture. The Gold Premium is calculated as the percentage equal to (i) 25% of the amount, if any, by which the London P.M. Fix exceeds $1,800 per ounce, divided by (ii) $1,800. The Company concluded that these debentures are not considered exercisable or convertible as at period-end under the guidance in IAS 28 and therefore, are excluded in assessing significant influence.
The Company’s investment in Denarius is carried at $12.8 million at March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $3.1 million in gain (loss) on financial instruments related to the change in fair value of the investment in the period (year ended December 31, 2023 - $2.7 million).

10.    Provision (cont.)
a)Reclamation and rehabilitation provision
As of March 31, 2024, the Company estimated the inflated undiscounted costs to be incurred with respect to future mine closure and reclamation activities related to the existing mining operation of the Marmato mine to be COP 43.3 billion (December 31, 2023 – COP 46.2 billion), equivalent to $11.3 million at the March 31, 2024 exchange rate (December 31, 2023 - $12.1 million).
As of March 31, 2024, the Company estimated the inflated undiscounted costs to be incurred with respect to future mine closure and reclamation activities related to the existing mining operation of the Segovia Operations to be COP 83.6 billion (December 31, 2023 – COP 81.8 billion), equivalent to $21.7 million at the March 31, 2024 exchange rate (December 31, 2023 - $21.4 million).

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to determine the decommissioning provision:

Marmato Mine
2024-2042
2.58 %10.27 %
Segovia Operations
2024-2034
3.08 %9.64 %
b)Environmental fees
The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to Colombian laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. Colombian regulations provide for fees applicable to entities discharging effluents to river basins. The local environmental authority in Segovia has issued two resolutions assessing fees totaling COP 34.6 billion ($9.1 million), which the Company is disputing. The Company has a provision in the amount of COP 20.9 billion ($5.5 million) related to the present value of its best estimate of the potential liability for these fees (December 31, 2023 – COP 20.9 billion equivalent to approximately $5.5 million).
c)Health plan obligations
The health plan obligation of COP 45.6 billion (approximately $11.9 million) is based on an actuarial report prepared as at December 31, 2023 with an inflation rate of 6.6% and a discount rate of 10.9%. The Company is currently paying approximately COP 0.2 billion (approximately less than $0.1 million) monthly to fund the obligatory health plan contributions. At March 31, 2024, non-current cash in trust includes approximately $0.9 million deposited in a restricted cash account as security against this obligation (December 31, 2023 - $0.9 million).
d)Claims
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in and potentially subject to legal actions and proceedings. The Company records provisions for such claims when considered material and an outflow of resources is considered probable.
The Company is subject to tax audits from various tax authorities on an ongoing basis. As a result, from time to time, tax authorities may disagree with the positions and conclusions taken by the Company in its tax filings or legislation could be amended or interpretations of current legislation could change, and any of these events could lead to reassessments. The Company records provisions for such claims when it determines it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept its filing position. No such provisions have been recorded by the Company.

a)Marmato
The Company is party to a Precious Metals Purchase Agreement at the Marmato Mine (the “Marmato PMPA”) with WPMI. Under the arrangement, WPMI will provide aggregate funding amount to $175 million with the remaining balance of $122 million to be received during the construction and development of the Marmato Lower Mine.

The contract will be settled by the Company delivering precious metal credits to WPMI. The Company recorded the deposit received as deferred revenue and recognizes amounts in revenue as gold and silver are delivered under the PMPA. Each period management estimates the cumulative amount of the deferred revenue obligation that has been satisfied and, therefore, recognised as revenue.
Accretion will be capitalized during the development of the Marmato Lower Mine (Note 7).

The following are the key inputs for the Marmato PMPA contract as of March 31, 2024:

Valuation inputs for Unlisted Warrants

The fair value of the Unlisted Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and Level 2 fair value inputs as follows:
Valuation InputsAris Unlisted Warrants
Expected volatility46 %
Liquidity discount%
Risk-free interest rate4.17 %
Expected life of warrants1.0 year
Dividend yield%

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company identified a non-material error in the fair value of the listed warrant liability previously reported. As a result, the statement of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 has been recast, with the loss on financial instruments increasing by $1.0 million. The net impact of the recast was to increase net loss previously reported of $5.4 million (($0.04) basic and ($0.04) diluted loss per share) to a net loss of $6.4 million (($0.05) basic and ($0.05) diluted loss per share).

There was no impact on the statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023, other than the amounts reported for net income (loss) and gain on financial instruments changing by the amounts described above within the Operating Activities section of the statement of cash flows.

Under the Option Plan, the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance may not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares and, to any one option holder, may not exceed 5% of the issued common shares on a yearly basis. The exercise price of each stock option will not be less than the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Each stock option vesting period and expiry is determined on a grant-by-grant basis.

A summary of the change in the stock options outstanding during the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by adjusting the basic earnings per share to take into account the after-tax effect of interest and other finance costs associated with dilutive convertible debentures as if they were converted at the beginning of the period, and the effects of potentially dilutive stock options and share purchase warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. When the impact of potentially dilutive securities increases the earnings per share or decreases the loss per share, they are excluded for purposes of the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
The following table lists the number of warrants, stock options and Convertible Debenture which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Instruments were excluded because either the instruments were not vested, the exercise prices exceeded the average market value of the common shares or the impact of including the in the money securities were anti-dilutive to EPS.

13.    Financial Risk Management
The nature of the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of gold properties exposes the Company to risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and credit risk. The Company may at times enter into risk management contracts to mitigate these risks. It is the Company’s policy that no speculative trading in derivatives shall be undertaken.

a)Financial instrument risk
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, cash in trust, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and, taxes payable approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

The Senior Notes are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. An observable fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes has been estimated using the trading value of the bonds on the Singapore exchange which indicate a fair value of $270.8 million (carrying amount - $293.1 million).

Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL on a recurring basis include the warrant derivative liabilities, the DSU payable, PSU payable, the Convertible Debenture and gold notes which are measured at their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the statements of financial position at fair value are categorized as follows:
March 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Level 1Level 2Level 1Level 2
Gold Notes (Note 9b)
$ $63,170 $— $63,310 
Warrant liabilities (Note 12c)
25,468 514 26,053 553 
DSU and PSU liabilities (Note 12,g,f)
1,863 3,167 1,903 2,804 
Investments and other assets (Note 6b)
5,437 7,400 4,254 5,505 
Convertible Debentures (Note 9c)
 13,307 — 13,913 
Total$32,768 $87,558 $32,210 $86,085 

At March 31, 2024, there were no financial assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized at fair value that would be categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy during the period.

b)Credit risk

Tax recoverable5,188 4,503 
Other, net of allowance for doubtful accounts1,296 1,386 
Total$58,527 $49,439 

The exposure to credit risk arises through the failure of a third party to meet its contractual obligations to the Company. The Company’s exposure to credit risk primarily arises from its cash balances (which are held with highly rated Canadian, Colombian and other international financial institutions) and accounts receivable. The timing of collection of the VAT recoverable is in accordance with Government of Colombia’s bi-monthly filing process. As at March 31, 2024, the Company expects to recover the outstanding amount of current VAT and HST receivable in the next 12 months.

13.    Financial Risk Management (cont.)
Credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable arises from the Company’s delivery of its production to international customers from whom it receives 97.0% - 99.5% of the sales proceeds in the case of gold and silver, and 90% of sales proceeds in the case of concentrates, shortly after delivery of its production to an agreed upon transfer point in Colombia. The balance is received within a short settlement period thereafter, once final metal content has been agreed between the Company and the customer.

c)Liquidity risk
The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast cash flow requirements. The Company believes it has sufficient cash resources to pay its obligations associated with its financial liabilities as at March 31, 2024. The Company’s undiscounted commitments at March 31, 2024 are as follows:
Less than 1 year1 to 3 years4 to 5 yearsOver 5 yearsTotal
Trade, tax and other payables$69,104 $— $— $— $69,104

Total$133,940 $400,761 $17,178 $78,913 $630,792 
Following receipt of funds under the Marmato and Toroparu PMPA, Aris Mining’s silver and gold production from the Marmato Mine and Toroparu Project is subject to the terms of the PMPA with WPMI.
d)Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Such exposure arises primarily from:
Translation of subsidiaries that have a functional currency, such as COP, which differ from the USD functional currency of the Company. The impact of such exposure is recorded through other comprehensive income (loss).
Translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, such as the Canadian dollar (“C$”) and Guyanese Dollar (“GYD”). The impact of such exposure is recorded in the consolidated statement of income (loss).
The Company monitors its exposure to foreign currency risks arising from foreign currency balances and transactions. To reduce its foreign currency exposure associated with these balances and transactions, the Company may enter foreign currency derivatives to manage such risks. In 2024 and 2023, the Company did not utilize derivative financial instruments to manage this risk.
The following table summarizes the Company’s net financial assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars, Colombian pesos and Guyanese dollar (in US dollar equivalents) as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, as well as the effect on earnings and other comprehensive earnings after-tax of a 10% appreciation or depreciation in the foreign currencies against the US dollar on the financial and non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company, if all other variables remain constant:

13.    Financial Risk Management (cont.)
e)Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Gold and silver prices can be subject to volatile price movements, which can be material and can occur over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors, all of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company may enter commodity hedging contracts from time to time to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in spot commodity prices.
The Company is required under the covenants of the Gold Notes to use commercially reasonable efforts to put in place commodity hedging contracts (put options) on a rolling four-quarters basis to establish a minimum selling price of $1,400 per ounce for the physical gold being accumulated in the Gold Escrow Account (Note 9b). Gold being accumulated in the Gold Escrow Account will be sold to meet the Company’s financial obligations for the quarterly Amortizing Payments of the Gold Notes. Under the terms of the agreement, such hedging will not be required if one of the following conditions is met:
the Company determines that any such hedging contracts are not obtainable on commercially reasonable terms; or
the failure to obtain any such hedging contracts would not reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact the ability of the Company to satisfy its obligations to make the quarterly Amortizing Payments.
As at March 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding commodity hedging contracts in place.

20. Segment Disclosures

Reportable segments are consistent with the geographic regions in which the Company’s projects are located. In determining the Company’s segment structure, the basis on which management reviews the financial and operational performance was considered and whether any of the Company’s mining operations share similar economic, operational and regulatory characteristics. The Company considers its Segovia Operations and Marmato Mine in Colombia, its Toroparu Project in Guyana, its Soto Norte Project in Colombia and its corporate functions in Canada and Panama as its reportable segments.
