| | | | In management’s opinion, the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (“Statement of Operations”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as at June 30, 2022 and audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2021, the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, contained herein, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of the Company’s prior audited consolidated financial statements. However, the results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto and the summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in the footnotes from those accompanying the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments over which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control through majority ownership are accounted for using the equity method. |
| | | | Share consolidation and Articles of Amendment Effective after the close of trading on July 27, 2022, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State to, among other items, effect a one-for-ten reverse split of its outstanding common stock. This reverse split, or consolidation, resulted in every 10 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date being converted into one share of common stock after the effective date. The consolidation was effected following approval by the shareholders in order for the Company to regain compliance with the NYSE listing requirements, specifically those requiring a minimum share trading price of $1 per share. The consolidation was effective for trading purposes on July 28, 2022. All share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the consolidation. The Articles of Amendment also served to reduce the Company’s authorized capital from 675,000,002 shares to 200,000,002 shares, with 200,000,000 shares being common stock and 2 shares being a special preferred stock. |

| | | | NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ISSUES |
| | | | Risks and Uncertainties |
| | | | COVID-19 |
| | | | The Company continues to closely monitor and respond, as possible, to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As the global situation continues to change rapidly, ensuring the health and safety of the Company’s employees and contractors is one of the Company’s top priorities. Many jurisdictions including the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina have varied but continued restrictions to travel, public gatherings, and certain business operations. Unlike the year 2020, there were no mandated suspensions for the Company’s operations during 2021 or during the six months ended June 30, 2022 (although, as described in this report COVID-19 impacted the Company’s operations and results for the period). In addition, vaccination rates in countries where the Company operates continue to increase. |
| | | | The Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows were adversely affected during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 due to COVID-19. The continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, variants of the COVID-19 virus, the availability, ongoing effectiveness, development and distribution and effectiveness of vaccinations and treatments and on government advisories, restrictions, and financial assistance offered. To ensure a safe working environment for the Company’s employees and contractors and to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Company continues to reinforce safety measures at all sites and offices including contact tracing, restricting non-essential travel, and complying with public health orders. The impact of COVID-19 on the global financial markets, the greater labor market, supply chains, and the overall economy and the Company is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Maintaining normal operating capacity is also dependent on the continued availability of supplies and contractors, which are out of the Company’s control. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy continue to be impacted, the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be further affected. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to monitor market conditions closely and respond accordingly. |
| | | | Continuation of COVID-19 through 2022 and beyond could impact employee health, workforce availability and productivity, insurance premiums, ability to travel, suppliers, labor costs, the availability of industry experts, personnel and equipment, restrictions or delays to field work, studies, and assay results, impeding access to capital markets when needed on acceptable terms and other factors that will depend on future developments that may be beyond the Company’s control. The Company has completed various scenario planning analyses to consider the potential impacts of COVID-19 on its business, including volatility in commodity prices, temporary disruptions and/or curtailments of operating activities (voluntary or involuntary). However, there is no assurance that these measures will prevent adverse effects from COVID-19 in the future. |
| | | | Flow-through Issuance and Equity Financing |
| | | | During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company completed a Canadian Exploration Expenditures (“CEE”) flow-through common share financing for gross proceeds of $15.1 million. In March 2022, the Company entered into a $15.0 million unsecured subordinated promissory note and amended the terms of its $50.0 million senior secured term loan facility (Note 10). In June 2022, a subsidiary of the Company secured an additional $15.0 million of equity financing for its Los Azules project in Argentina (Note 18). |
| | | | During 2021, the Company raised gross proceeds of $12.7 million through a Canadian Development Expenses (“CDE”) flow-through common share issuance and raised gross proceeds of $31.5 million through an equity financing (Note 12). In 2021 a subsidiary of the Company secured an additional $40.0 million of equity financing for its Los Azules project in Argentina (Note 18). |

| | | | NOTE 3 OPERATING SEGMENT REPORTING |
| | | | The Company is a mining and minerals production and exploration company focused on precious metals in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews the operating results, assesses performance and makes decisions about the allocation of resources to these segments at the geographic region level or major mine/project where the economic characteristics of the individual mines or projects within a geographic region are not alike. As a result, these operating segments also represent the Company’s reportable segments for accounting purposes. The Company’s business activities that are not considered operating segments are included in General and Administrative and Other and are provided in this note for reconciliation purposes. |
| | | | The CODM reviews segment income or loss, defined as gold and silver sales less production costs applicable to sales, depreciation and depletion, advanced projects and exploration costs, for all segments except for the MSC segment, which is evaluated based on the attributable equity income or loss. Gold and silver sales and production costs applicable to sales for the reportable segments are reported net of intercompany transactions. |
| | | | Capital expenditures include costs capitalized in mineral property interests and plant and equipment in the respective periods. |
| | | | Significant information relating to the Company’s reportable operating segments for the periods presented is summarized in the tables below: |

| | | | During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $nil (three and six months ended June 30, 2021 - $1.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively) of other income through COVID-19 relief from the Canadian government via the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy and Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy programs. From time to time, the Company may acquire and transfer marketable securities (“Blue Chip Swap”) to facilitate intragroup funding transfers between the U.S. parent and its Argentine subsidiary. The Company does not acquire marketable securities or engage in these transactions for speculative purposes. Under this strategy, the Company generally uses marketable securities of large, well-established companies, with high trading volumes and low volatility. The Company does this to improve cash management for funding its Argentinean subsidiary. Nonetheless, as the process to acquire, transfer and ultimately sell the marketable securities occurs over several days, some fluctuations are unavoidable. As the marketable securities are acquired with the intention of a near term sale, generally less than seven days, they are considered financial instruments that are held for trading. Accordingly, all changes in the fair value of the instruments, between acquisition and disposition, are recognized through profit or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Upon receipt of the transferred equity instruments by the local investment broker, the Company realizes an immediate foreign exchange impact. This foreign exchange impact is incurred directly as a result of holding equity instruments with the intention of trading, and as such the foreign exchange impact is also recognized through profit and loss. |

Of these write-downs, a total of $5.6 million (six months ended June 30, 2021 – $2.9 million) were included in production costs applicable to sales and $0.3 million was included in depreciation and depletion (six months ended June 30, 2021 - $0.1 million) in the Statement of Operations. NOTE 8 MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS AND PLANT AND EQUIPMENT |
| | | | The applicable definition of proven and probable reserves is set forth in the new Regulation S-K 1300 requirements of the SEC. If proven and probable reserves exist at the Company’s properties, the relevant capitalized mineral property interests and asset retirement costs are charged to expense based on the units of production method upon commencement of production. The Company’s Gold Bar and Black Fox properties have proven and probable reserves estimated in accordance with Regulation S-K 1300. The El Gallo Project is depleted and depreciated using the straight line method, as the project does not have proven and probable reserves as defined in Regulation S-K 1300. |
| | | | The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment on a quarterly basis or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Once it is determined that impairment exists, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. |
| | | | During the six months ended June 30, 2022, no indicators of impairment have been noted for any of the Company’s mineral property interests. NOTE 9 INVESTMENT IN MINERA SANTA CRUZ S.A. (“MSC”) – SAN JOSÉ MINE |
| | | | The Company accounts for investments over which it exerts significant influence but does not control through majority ownership using the equity method of accounting. In applying the equity method of accounting to the Company’s investment in MSC, MSC’s financial statements, which are originally prepared by MSC in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, have been adjusted to conform with U.S. GAAP.

| | | | $50 Million Term Loan Facility |
| | | | On August 10, 2018, the Company finalized a $50.0 million senior secured three-year term loan facility with Royal Capital Management Corp., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. Interest on the loan accrued at the rate of 9.75% per annum with interest due monthly and was secured by a lien on certain of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. |
| | | | On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“ARCA”) which refinanced the outstanding $50.0 million loan and included the following revisions: |
| | | | • Scheduled repayments were extended by two years; monthly repayments of principal in the amount of $2.0 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | million are due beginning on August 31, 2022, and continuing for 11 months, followed by a final principal payment of $26.0 million, and any accrued interest on August 31, 2023 (but, later extended, as described below). |
| | | | • Additionally, the minimum working capital maintenance requirement was reduced from $10.0 million under the |
| | | | | | | | | | | | original term loan to $nil between June 30, 2020, through December 31, 2020, and from $10.0 million to $2.5 million from March 31, 2021, until the end of 2021. The working capital requirement increases to $5.0 million at March 31, 2022, $7.0 million at June 30, 2022, and $10 million at September 30, 2022, and each fiscal quarter thereafter (further amended, see below). |
| | | | • The Company issued 2,091,700 shares of common stock valued at $1,875,000 to the lenders as consideration for |
| | | | | | | | | | | | the maintenance, continuation, and extension of the maturity date of the loan. The value of the shares plus the unamortized costs of the original term loan are being amortized over the modified term of the loan. |
| | | | • Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP replaced Royal Capital Management Corp. as the |
| | | | | | | | | | | | administrative agent and certain lenders. An affiliate of Robert R. McEwen remained as a lender. The remaining principal terms of the original agreement remained unchanged. |
| | | | On March 31, 2022, further amendments were made to the “ARCA” which refinanced the outstanding $50.0 million loan and which terms differed in material respects from the previous amendment as follows: |
| | | | • Scheduled repayments of the principal were extended by 18 months; monthly repayments of principal in the |
| | | | | | | | | | | | amount of $2.0 million are due beginning on August 31, 2023, and continuing for 18 months, followed by a final principal payment of $12.0 million, and any accrued interest on March 31, 2025. |
| | | | • The minimum working capital maintenance requirement was reduced from $10.0 million under the amended term |
| | | | | | | | | | | | loan to $5.0 million at March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023. The working capital requirement increases to $7.0 million at June 30, 2023, and $10 million at September 30, 2023, and each fiscal quarter thereafter. |

| | | | NOTE 15 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING |
| | | | As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. |
| | | | Warrants |
| | | | Upon initial recognition, the warrants received as part of the asset sale to Nevgold (Note 5) were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model as they are not quoted in an active market. The warrants have been accounted for as equity investment at cost. Average volatility of 94.6% was determined based on a selection of similar junior mining companies. The warrants are exercisable upon receipt and have an exercise price of $0.60 per share and expire June 23, 2023. As of June 30, 2022, no warrants related to the Nevgold transaction have been exercised. |
| | | | Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. |
| | | | The following table identifies certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fair value as at June 30, 2022 | | | | Fair value as at December 31, 2021 |

| | | | Marketable equity securities | $ | 2,233 $ | | | — $ | | | | 2,233 $ | 1,644 $ | | — $ | | 1,644 |
| | | | Total investments | $ | 2,233 $ | | | — $ | | | | 2,233 $ | 1,644 $ | | — $ | | 1,644 |
| | | | Marketable equity securities that the Company holds are exchange-traded and are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the investment is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the number of shares held by the Company. |
| | | | The fair value of financial assets and liabilities held at June 30, 2022 were assumed to approximate their carrying values due to their historically negligible credit losses. |
| | | | Debt is recorded at a carrying value of $63.7 million (December 31, 2021 – $48.9 million). The debt is not traded on quoted markets and approximates its fair value based on recent refinancing. |
| | | | Impairment of Mineral Property |
| | | | During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no indicators of impairment for the Company’s long-lived assets and the Company did not record any impairments. |
