2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for annual financial statements prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors onAugust 3, 2022.
(b)Amended IFRS standard not yet effective
In May 2021, the IASB issued Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction which amended IAS 12, Income Taxes ("IAS 12"). The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in IAS 12, relating to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences such as leases and reclamation and closure cost provisions. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements.
(c)Retrospective adjustment relating to the accounting for the Premier Acquisition
At December 31, 2021, the Company finalized the fair value measurements of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Premier Acquisition. Upon finalization of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date and recognized a bargain purchase gain of $81.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. As a result of the retrospective adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Premier Acquisition, the Company made adjustments to recognize an additional $4.2 million in depreciation and depletion, $0.1 million in exploration expense and $0.8 million in deferred tax recovery for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

3. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS
(a)Sale of Mercedes
On April 21, 2022, the Company completed the sale of Mercedes, the assets and liabilities of which were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2021, to Bear Creek Mining Corporation ("Bear Creek") (the "Mercedes Transaction") for the following consideration:
•$75 million in cash paid on closing of the Mercedes Transaction;
•$25 million in cash payable within six months of closing of the Mercedes Transaction;
•24,730,000 common shares of Bear Creek, representing approximately 16.6% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Bear Creek following the close of the Mercedes Transaction; and
•a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") on production from Mercedes.
The fair value of the consideration received totaled $135.4 million which included the fair values of the cash payment received on closing, the receivable of $24.6 million, the equity interest in Bear Creek of $23.3 million, the 2% NSR on production from Mercedes of $9.9 million and a working capital adjustment of $2.6 million. The fair value of the Bear Creek common shares received was determined based on Bear Creek's quoted common share price of C$1.18 ($0.94) per share on the date of disposition. The fair value of the NSR was estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The Company recognized a loss on sale of $7.0 million in other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which represents the difference between the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs of $3.8 million, and the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities derecognized, and the cumulative foreign currency translation gain of $1.6 million reclassified from AOCI to net loss related to certain subsidiaries disposed of which had a functional currency that is other than the US dollar ("USD").
The equity interest in Bear Creek is included within marketable securities and measured at fair value through OCI ("FVOCI") with changes in fair value recognized in OCI. On initial recognition, the NSR was recognized as mineral properties. The NSR was subsequently sold on June 28, 2022 (note 3(b)).
(b)Sale of royalty interests and other assets
On June 28, 2022, the Company completed the sale of a portfolio of royalty interests and other assets to Sandbox Royalties Corp ("Sandbox"), formerly Rosedale Resources Ltd., in exchange for 51,933,661 common shares of Sandbox, representing a 35% interest with a total fair value of $28.4 million,and recognized a gain on sale of $8.5 million in other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The fair value of the Sandbox common shares received was determined based on the concurrent private placement common share price of C$0.70 ($0.54) per share. The portfolio was mainly comprised of the Mercedes NSR royalty asset (note 3(a)), the Pilar NSR royalty asset that the Company received as partial consideration for the sale of its Pilar Mine ("Pilar") in April 2021, and certain cash received and receivable from a previous asset sale. Concurrent with the sale, Sandbox also acquired a portfolio of royalty interests from Sandstorm Gold Royalties (together with the purchase of royalty interests and other assets from Equinox Gold, collectively referred to as the "Sandbox Transaction") in exchange for common shares of Sandbox, a convertible promissory note payable and cash.
In connection with the Sandbox Transaction, the Company participated in the Sandbox private placement financing, purchasing 6,155,912 common shares of Sandbox at C$0.70 per share, for a total investment of $3.3 million. Subsequent to the financing, the Company's interest in Sandbox was reduced to 34.4%.
The Company's 34.4% interest in Sandbox is accounted for as an investment in associate (note 6) using the equity method.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
(b)Derivative liabilities (continued)
(iv)Solaris warrant liability
In connection with the sale of the Company's partial interest in Solaris in April 2021, the Company granted share purchase warrants that are exercisable into five million common shares of Solaris held by the Company at a price of C$10.00 per share to the buyer. The warrants were accounted for as current derivative financial liabilities measured at FVTPL with changes in fair value recognized in other income or expense.
On April 20, 2022, all the outstanding warrants were exercised. The Company received $40.1 million (C$50 million) on exercise of the warrants and derecognized the carrying amounts of the marketable securities and Solaris warrant liability of $56.4 million and $16.3 million, respectively. In addition, the Company transferred the cumulative gain of $15.8 million, net of tax of $2.5 million, from AOCI to retained earnings.

(v)Contingent consideration - Greenstone
As part of the consideration for the Company's acquisition of an additional 10% interest in Greenstone in April 2021, the Company assumed contingent payment obligations. The obligation to deliver approximately 2,200 ounces of refined gold, the cash equivalent value of such refined gold, or a combination thereof, after each production milestone of 250,000 ounces, 500,000 ounces and 700,000 ounces from Greenstone has been accounted for as a derivative financial liability measured at FVTPL. The fair value of the contingent consideration is determined based on the net present value of the projected cash outflows associated with the contingent payments at the milestone dates using a market-based discount rate that reflects the risk associated with the delivery of the contingent consideration.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $0.1 million and loss of $0.8 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2021 - loss of $0.3 million) on revaluation of the derivative liability in other expense.
9. SHARE CAPITAL AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
(a)Share issuances
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued 2.6 million common shares on exercise of warrants and stock options and settlement of RSUs and pRSUs (2021 - 3.2 million). The average exercise price of warrants and stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were C$10.42 and C$4.14, respectively (2021 - C$8.07 and C$5.81, respectively).
(b)Share-based compensation plans
Equity-settled RSUs and pRSUs
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted 0.5 million equity-settled RSUs and 0.5 million pRSUs to directors, officers and employees with a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.64 and $6.56, respectively. The RSUs granted vest over a period of three years. The pRSUs granted are subject to a multiplier of 0% to 200% of the number of units granted based on the Company's total shareholder return as compared to the S&P Global Gold Index over a three-year comparison period.

9. SHARE CAPITAL AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED)
(b)Share-based compensation plans (continued)
Equity-settled RSUs and pRSUs (continued)
Share-based compensation expense related to the RSUs, based on the grant date fair value, is recognized over the vesting period with the cumulative amount recognized adjusted to reflect the number of RSUs expected to vest at each reporting date. Share-based compensation expense related to the pRSUs that vest based on market conditions is recognized over the three-year vesting period based on the grant date fair value of the award.
Cash-settled RSUs and pRSUs
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted 0.4 million cash-settled RSUs and 0.1 million pRSUs to directors, officers and employees with a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.24. The RSUs granted vest over a period of three years. The pRSUs granted are subject to a multiplier of 0% to 200% of the number of units granted based on the Company's total shareholder return as compared to the S&P Global Gold Index over a three-year comparison period.
The fair values of the cash-settled RSUs and pRSUs are recognized as share-based compensation expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase to liabilities. The liabilities are remeasured at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, based on the current quoted market price of the Company's common shares and the number of RSUs and pRSUs expected to vest, with any changes in fair value recognized in share-based compensation in net income or loss.

16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
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 categorizes inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value into the following three levels:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly, such as prices, or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 - unobservable inputs for which market data are not available.
(a)Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value
The fair values of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and the levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure the fair values are categorized are as follows:
|
At June 30, 2022

16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)
(a)Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value (continued)
(i)The fair values of marketable securities are based on the quoted market price of the underlying securities.
(ii)The fair values of derivative assets and certain derivative liabilities are measured using Level 2 inputs. The fair values of the Company's investments in warrants, share purchase warrants and Solaris warrant liability are determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model that uses a combination of quoted market prices and market-derived inputs such as expected volatility. The fair values of the Company's gold collar and forward contracts are based on forward metal prices, and the fair values of the Company's foreign currency contracts are based on forward foreign exchange rates.
(iii)The fair value of the contingent consideration derivative liability relating to Greenstone is calculated as the present value of projected future cash flows using a market-interest rate that reflects the risk associated with the delivery of the contingent consideration. The projected cash flows are affected by assumptions related to the achievement of production milestones.
(b)Financial assets and financial liabilities not already measured at fair value
At June 30, 2022, the fair values of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities, excluding lease liabilities, that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position as compared to the carrying amounts were as follows:

17. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER RISKS
At June 30, 2022, the Company had the following outstanding matters:
(a)Legal
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and legal actions for alleged fines, labour related and other matters in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Management regularly reviews these lawsuits and legal actions with outside counsel to assess the likelihood that the Company will ultimately incur a material cash outflow to settle a claim. To the extent management believes it is probable that a cash outflow will be incurred to settle a claim, a provision for the estimated settlement amount is recognized. At June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a provision of $13.1 million (December 31, 2021 - $11.6 million) for legal matters which is included in other non-current liabilities.

17. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER RISKS (CONTINUED)
(b)Tax
The Company is contesting federal income and municipal VAT assessments in Brazil. Brazilian courts often require a taxpayer to post cash or a guarantee for the disputed amount before hearing a case. It can take up to five years to complete an appeals process and receive a final verdict. At June 30, 2022, the Company recognized restricted cash of $5.8 million (December 31, 2021 - $4.6 million) in relation to insurance bonds for tax assessments in the appeals process. The Company may be required to post additional security in the future, by way of cash, insurance bonds or equipment pledges, with respect to certain federal income and municipal tax assessments being contested, the amounts and timing of which are uncertain. The Company and its advisor believe the federal income and municipal tax assessments under appeal are wholly without merit and it is not probable that a cash outflow will occur. Accordingly, no provision has been recognized with respect to these matters.
(c)Environmental
A historic rain event caused widespread flooding in the Aurizona region in late March 2021 and a fresh water pond on the Aurizona site overflowed during the rain event. The tailings facility and other infrastructure at the Aurizona site remained operational. The Company received notices from the local state government of environmental infractions related to turbidity in the local water supply at Aurizona with associated fines at June 30, 2022 totaling $10.4 million (December 31, 2021 - $9.2 million). In addition to the fines, pubic civil actions have been filed against the Company in the State and Federal courts claiming various damages as a result of the rain event. The Company and its advisors believe the fines and public civil actions are without merit and it is not probable that a cash outflow will occur. Accordingly, no amount has been recognized in relation to the fines.
(d)COVID-19
In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The pandemic and efforts to contain it have significantly impacted the global economy, including commodity prices, and disrupted global supply chains and capital markets. The Company has implemented preventative measures at each of its sites and corporate office in collaboration with the Company's employees, contractors, host communities and governments to limit the exposure to and spread of COVID-19.
While the Company's operations continue to experience some effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been no government-mandated shut downs since the second quarter of 2020 and the Company has not experienced any material sales or supply chain disruptions. To date, the effects of COVID-19 on the Company have included mine standby costs incurred during the temporary suspension of operations during the second quarter of 2020 and the subsequent ramp up of operations, incremental costs related to increased health and safety protocols and other COVID-19 related protocols and workforce participation. Additionally, in 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022, operations have experienced higher inflation on material inputs due to COVID-19 driven market conditions.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve in 2022, the magnitude of its effects on the economy, and on the Company's operating plan, financial and operational performance is uncertain. It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future results and cash flows and result in write-downs of its non-current assets.
The above matters could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial performance, cash flows and results of operations if they are not resolved favorably.
