Adjustment of Financial Statements in High Inflation Periods

In accordance with the decision of the CMB dated December 28, 2023 and numbered 81/1820, it has been decided that issuers and capital market institutions subject to financial reporting regulations that apply Turkish Accounting/Financial Reporting Standards will apply inflation accounting by applying the provisions of TAS 29, starting from their annual financial reports for the accounting periods ending as of December 31, 2023. Based on the aforementioned CMB decision, the announcement made by the KGK on November 23, 2023 and the "Implementation Guide on Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" published, the Group has prepared its consolidated financial statements for the period and ending on the same date as of December 31, 2024 by applying the TAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" Standard. According to this standard, consolidated financial statements prepared based on the currency of an economy with high inflation should be prepared in the purchasing power of this currency at the balance sheet date and the financial statements of previous periods should be restated in terms of the current measurement unit at the end of the reporting period. For this reason, the Group has presented its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 on the basis of purchasing power as of December 31, 2024. Except for financial investments, assets and liabilities are prepared on the basis of historical cost.

The re-arrangements made in accordance with TAS 29 were made using the correction coefficient obtained from the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") in Türkiye published by the Turkish Statistical Institute ("TÜİK"). As of December 31, 2024, the indexes and correction coefficients for the current and comparative periods used in the correction of the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Period end Index Index, % Three-year
cumulative
inflation rates
December 31, 2024 2.684,55 1,00000 %291
December 31, 2023 1,859,38 1,44379 %268
December 31, 2022 1.128,45 2,37897 %156

2.1 Basis of presentation (continued)

Adjustment of Financial Statements in High Inflation Periods (continued)

Assets and liabilities were separated into those that were monetary and non–monetary, with non–monetary items were further divided into those measured on either a current or historical basis to perform the required restatement of consolidated financial statements under TAS 29. Monetary items (other than index -linked monetary items) and non-monetary items carried at amounts current at the end of the reporting period were not restated because they are already expressed in terms of measuring unit as of December 31, 2024. Non-monetary items which are not expressed in terms of measuring unit as of December 31, 2024 were restated by applying the conversion factors. The restated amount of a non-monetary item was reduced, in accordance with appropriate TFRSs, in cases where it exceeds its recoverable amount or net realizable value. Components of shareholders' equity in the statement of financial position and all items in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income have also been restated by applying the conversion factors.

Non-monetary items measured at historical cost that were acquired or assumed and components of shareholders' equity that were contributed or arose before the time when the Turkish lira previously ceased to be considered currency of hyperinflationary economy, i.e before January 1, 2005, were restated by applying the change in the CPI from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2024.

The application of TAS 29 results in an adjustment for the loss of purchasing power of the Turkish lira presented in Net Monetary Position Gains (Losses) item in the profit or loss section of the statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income. In a period of inflation, an entity holding an excess of monetary assets over monetary liabilities loses purchasing power and an entity with an excess of monetary liabilities over monetary assets gains purchasing power to the extent the assets and liabilities are not linked to a price level. This gain or loss on the net monetary position is derived as the difference resulting from the restatement of non-monetary items, owners' equity and items in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the adjustment of index linked assets and liabilities. In addition, in the reporting period in which IAS 29 was first applied, the provisions of the Standard were applied assuming that there was always high inflation in the relevant economy. Therefore, the consolidated statement of financial position as of January 1, 2022, the beginning of the earliest comparative period, has been adjusted for inflation in order to form the basis for subsequent reporting periods. The inflationadjusted amount of the retained earnings/losses item in the consolidated financial position statement dated January 1, 2022 was obtained from the balance sheet balance that should have occurred after adjusting the other items of the said table for inflation.

2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of consolidated financial statements are summarized below:

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term time deposits. Short-term time deposits are highly liquid that can be easily converted into cash without a risk of losing its value. Cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statement of financial position with the sum of acquisition cost and accured interest. Deposits from which interest income is obtained despite being blocked are classified under long-term financial investments.

Trade receivables

The Group sells its dore bars of gold to a domestic bank on consignment to be sold to the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye which has pre-emptive rights, and silver to a domestic refinery again on consignment. The "simplified approach" is applied within the scope of the impairment calculations of trade receivables originating from other activities of the Group, which are accounted at amortized cost in the financial statements and do not contain a significant financing component (with a term of less than 1 year). With the application of this approach, in cases where the trade receivables are not impaired for certain reasons (except for the realized impairment losses), the loss allowance for trade receivables is measured at an amount equal to "lifetime expected credit losses". Following the allocation of a provision for impairment, if all or a portion of the impaired receivable is collected, the collected amount is deducted from the provision for the impairment allocated and recorded in other operating income.

Inventories

The cost of inventories comprises all costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The components of the cost included in inventories are material, labor and overhead costs. The cost of inventories is determined on the weighted average basis. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Group's inventories consist of mining inventories, chemicals and operating materials. Mining inventories consists of ready to be processed and mined ore clusters, solution obtained by treating mining inventories through tank leaching (heap leach) and gold and silver bars in the production process or ready for shipment. The ore clusters ready to be processed and the costs of gold and dore bars made ready for shipment in the production process are calculated by taking into account the amount of gold they contain on an ounce basis and the recycling rate calculated based on the processing in the facility. The quantities of ready-to-work, mined ore clumps and dore bars made of gold and silver are determined by periodic counts. Depreciation and amortization of mineral assets and other fixed assets related to production are included in the costs of the inventory at the relevant production location and stage.

Leases

a) Company – as a lessee

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease following the above mentoned assessments.

Leases (continued)

i. Right-of-use assets

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The cost of right-of-use assets includes the following:

a) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,

  • b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received,
  • c) any initial direct costs incurred by the Company, and
  • d) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease (unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories)

Useful lives of right-of-use assets are as follows:

Building 4 years Motor vehicles 2-4 years

Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.

ii. Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

The lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date:

  • a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable,
  • b) ariable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
  • c) amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees
  • d) exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group
  • e) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

After the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability by:

  • a) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability,
  • b) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made, and
  • c) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications. The Group recognises the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

2.5. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Leases (continued)

Significant judgement in determining the lease term of contracts with renewal options

The Group assesses the contractual options to extend or to terminate the lease when determining the lease liability. Most of the options to extend and terminate are exercisable both by the Group and the respective lessor. The Group determines the lease term of a lease considering the periods covered by options to extend and terminate the lease if the options are exercisable by the Group and the Group is reasonably certain to exercise those options. If a significant change in circumstances takes place, related lease term assessment is revisited by the Group.

Practical expedients

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option).

The Group applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group applies a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases which have similar characteristics (asset classes which have similar remaining rent periods in a similar economic environment).

Variable lease payments

Some lease contracts of the Group contain variable payment terms. Variable lease payments are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the related period.

b) Company – as a lessor

All the leases that the Group is the lessor are operating leases. Assets leased out under operating leases are classified under investment properties or operating leases in the financial position. Rental income is recognised in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Transaction with related parties is the transfer of resources, services or obligations between related parties, regardless of whether they are paid for.

Investment properties

Properties those are held for long term rental yields or capital appreciation or both, rather than in the production of supply of goods and services or administrative purposes or for the sale in the ordinary course of business are classified as "Investment property". Investment properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for investment properties on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Investment properties are reviewed for possible impairment losses and where the carrying amount of the investment property is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, it is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount of the investment property is the higher of the estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or fair value less costs of disposal.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the consolidated statement of income.

Property, plant and equipments are depreciated with the linear depreciation method in accordance with the useful life principle. The useful lives of buildings, machinery, facilities and devices are limited by the useful life of the respective mines. Land is not depreciated as it is deemed to have an indefinite useful life. Depreciation commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

The cost of the property, plant and equipment consists of acquisition cost, import taxes, non-refundable taxes, and expenses incurred to make the asset ready for use. After the asset is started to be used, expenses such as repair and maintenance are recognized as an expense in the period they occur. If the expenditures provide an economic value increase for the related asset in its future use, these expenses are added to the cost of the asset.

Assets in the construction phase are shown by deducting the impairment loss, if any, from their cost. When these assets are built and ready for use, they are classified into the relevant fixed asset item. Such assets are subject to depreciation when they are ready for use, as in the depreciation method used for other fixed assets.

The depreciation periods for property, plant and equipment, which approximate the economic useful lives of such assets, are as follows:

Useful lives
Land improvements (During the useful life of the relevant mine) 2-15 years
Buildings (During the useful life of the relevant mine) 2-50 years
Machinery and equipments (During the useful life of the relevant mine) 2-20 years
Motor vehicles 2-15 years
Furniture and fixtures 3-20 years

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Repair and maintenance expenses are charged to the income statements during the period in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits more than the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

Gains or losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing proceeds with their net carrying amounts and are classified under "gains/losses from investing activities" in the current period.

Mining assets

Mining assets consist of mine site development, mining rights, mining plots, deferred mining costs and discounted costs associated with the rehabilitation, rehabilitation and closure of mine sites. Mineral assets are reflected in the financial statements with their net value after deducting the accumulated depreciation and permanent impairment, if any, over their acquisition costs.

Mining assets begin to be amortized with the commencement of production. The depreciation expenses of the mining assets are associated with the production costs on the basis of the relevant mining sites.

The mine site development costs include the evaluation and development of new ore veins, as well as the opening of underground galleries, excavation and construction of roads for the continuation and development of existing ore seams. Mine development costs are capitalized in cases where it is highly likely to obtain an economic benefit in the future from the mine in question, can be identified for specific mining areas and the cost can be measured reliably. Costs incurred during production are capitalized as long as they are directly related to the development of the mine site. Production-related costs are reflected as expense in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

In cases where mining site development expenses cannot be distinguished from research and evaluation expenses, the said expenses are recorded as expense in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income statement in the period they occur.

Mining assets are depreciated when their capacity is ready to be used fully and their physical conditions meet the production capacity determined by the Group management. Mine development costs are capitalized in cases where it is highly probable to obtain economic benefit in the future and are subject to depreciation considering the economic benefit. Mine development costs are distributed to the departments to the extent that they can be defined on the basis of the relevant mining areas as soon as they are first recorded, and the departments in each mine area are subjected to depreciation by using the units of production method, taking into account the economic benefits separately.

The large-scale and important revision works carried out at the said mine, which will increase the economic benefits to be obtained during the life of the relevant mine, are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses, excluding large-scale and significant revisions, that can be evaluated within this scope are recorded as expense in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income statement of the period in which they occur.

The mine development costs at each mine site are depreciated over the redemption rate found by dividing the total amount of gold in ounce mined from the relevant mine by the total ounce of visible and possible workable remaining gold reserves in the said mine during the period. The visible and possible reserve amounts in each mine site indicate the known and measurable resource that can be extracted and processed economically in the foreseeable future.

Apart from the land on which the production facilities are built and where the wastes are stored, the Group also purchases land for mining exploration activities. These lands are followed in mineral assets and are reflected in the financial statements over their acquisition costs. These lands begin to be depreciated over the depreciation rate found by dividing the total ounce of visible and possible workable reserve in the said mine by the remaining gold reserve amount as soon as the ore is started to be extracted in the relevant mine site.

Mining assets (continued)

The deferred mining costs consist of the direct costs incurred during stripping, which facilitates access to the defined part of the ore in each open pit ore deposit during the period, and the general production costs associated with the stripping work. It is subject to depreciation taking into account the deferred extraction rate, which is calculated based on the usable remaining life of each open pit.

The production costs corresponding to the part of the benefit generated in the stripping work realized in the form of manufactured products are accounted for by including the cost of inventories. The removal costs of each open pit ore deposit and, as long as it is measurable, for phases related to each ore deposit are accounted by taking into account the calculated rates.

Deferred mining costs are depreciated over the amortization rate found by dividing the total ounce of gold mined from the relevant mine by the total ounce of visible and possible workable remaining gold reserves in the said mine. The visible and possible reserve amounts in each mine site indicate the known and measurable resource that can be extracted and processed economically in the foreseeable future.

The actual mineral extraction rate is calculated by proportioning the amount of waste and ore extracted from each open pit until the balance sheet date. The estimated mineral extraction rate, which is calculated by taking into account the remaining useful life of each open pit, is calculated by proportioning the estimated cumulative pass and ore amounts to each other in tonnes to be prospectively extracted from each open pit connected to the reserve.

Accordingly, if the actual extraction rate is higher than the estimated extraction rate calculated by taking into account the useful life of each related open pit, part of the estimated cumulative passage during the year and the cost incurred for ore extraction is capitalized in line with the said rates.

If the estimated mineral extraction rate calculated considering the useful life of the mine is higher than the actual extraction rate, the related costs are accounted as production expense in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income statement, taking into account the depreciation rate stated above. The useful life of the mine is reviewed annually and changes in the deferred extraction rate are accounted for prospectively.

Mining rights are accounted in the financial statements at the acquisition cost. It is amortized by using the lower of the depreciation rate found by dividing the remaining economic lives of the relevant mine or the ounce amount of gold extracted from underground and open pit during the period by the amount of visible and possible workable remaining ounce of gold reserves.

Reclamation, rehabilitation and closure costs according to the current conditions of the mine fields that arise due to the open pit mine development activities and the production in the open pit; Provision for expenses that are likely to be spent during the closure and rehabilitation of mines is reflected in the financial statements at their reduced cost values as of the balance sheet date.

These provisions are reduced to their values at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risk of interest and liability in the markets, with a pre-tax discount rate that does not include the risk of future cash flow estimates, and the calculations are reviewed in each balance sheet period. Changes resulting from changes in management estimates used in the computation of the reclamation, rehabilitation and closure provision of mine sites are reflected in the cost of rehabilitation, rehabilitation and closure of mine sites.

Mining assets (continued)

On the other hand, for each mine, the costs of rehabilitation, rehabilitation and closure of the respective mine sites; It is amortized by using the lower of the depreciation rate found by dividing the remaining economic lives of the relevant mine or the ounce amount of gold extracted from the relevant open pit during the period by the remaining visible and possible workable reserve amount in ounce. The costs incurred in relation to the prevention of environmental pollution and protection of the environment within the scope of the existing programs are reflected in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income statement as expense in the period they occur.

Mineral exploration, evaluation and development expenses

Pre-license costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.

After the license acquisition, mineral exploration and evaluation expenses include all kinds of technical services from the initial prospecting and exploration stages of a mine site to the realization of a mining project. These technical services; All kinds of geological studies from mining activities to reserve calculation, all kinds of ore production planning from exploitable reserve calculation to production method, optimization and organization, construction and implementation of ore enrichment projects for determination of complete flow chart, from process mineralogy to market analysis, necessary financing It includes activities such as feasibility studies in every scope up to its source.

Mine site development costs are capitalized in cases where it is highly likely that an economic benefit will be obtained from the mine in question in the future, can be identified for specific mine sites and the costs can be measured reliably. The costs incurred during the research and evaluation are capitalized as long as they are directly related to the development of the mine site.

At the point where production is decided at the mine site, all costs incurred are transferred to the mining assets account. However, when it is decided that there is no future economic benefit, all costs incurred are reflected in the income statement. As the production starts after the preparation period, mineral assets begin to be depreciated.

For the capitalized development costs, the Group management evaluates on each balance sheet date whether there is any indication of depreciation, such as a significant decrease in the reserve amount, expiration of the rights acquired for mining sites, and failure to renew or cancel. If there is such an indicator, the relevant recoverable value, which is determined as the higher of the amount to be recovered through sale after deducting the expenses required for the use or sale of the said asset, is estimated and the impairment losses are reflected as expense in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income statement. The carried value is reduced to its recoverable value.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are comprised of rights and computer software. They are initially recognised at acquisition cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Whenever there is an indication that the intangible is impaired, the carrying amount of the intangible asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognised as an expense.

Any gain or loss arising on the disposal of an item of intangible asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss as "gains from investment activities".

Computer software and rights

Computer software and rights are recognized at their acquisition cost. They are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Their estimated useful lives are between 3 and 5 years.

Business combination and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for by using the purchase method in the scope of TFRS 3 "Business combinations". Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the acquirer's interest in the (i) net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets and contingent liabilities as of the acquisition date, (ii) amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity and (iii) fair value of any equity interest previously held by acquirer is accounted for as goodwill. If those amounts are less than fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the difference is recognised directly in "Gains from investment activities" as a gain from bargain purchase.

Under this method, the cost of an acquisition is measured over the fair value of cash and other assets given as of the acquisition date, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred. If a business combination contract includes clauses that enable adjustments in the cost of business combination depending on events after the acquisition date; in case the adjustment is measurable and more probable than not, than the cost of business combination at acquisition date is adjusted. Costs related to the purchase are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the business acquired are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date in the scope of TFRS 3.

Goodwill recognised in business combinations is tested for impairment annually (as of December 31) or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, instead of amortisation. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing.

Legal mergers between entities controlled by the Group are not considered within the scope of TFRS 3. Therefore, goodwill is not recognized in such transactions.

In business combinations involving entities under common control, assets and liabilities subject to a business combination are recognised at their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, statements of income are consolidated from the beginning of the financial year in which the business combination takes place. Similarly, comparative consolidated financial statements are restated retrospectively for comparison purposes. As a result of these transactions, no goodwill is recognised. The difference arising in the elimination of the carrying value of the investment held and share capital of the acquired company is directly accounted under "transactions under common control" in "prior years' income".

Impairment on non-financial assets

At each financial position date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

2.5. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Impairment on non-financial assets (continued)

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation taken to other comprehensive income. For such properties, the impairment is recognised in other comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.

When an impairment loss subsequently reversed, the reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

Taxes on income

Taxes include current period income tax liabilities and deferred tax liabilities. A provision is recognised for the current period tax liability based on the period results of the Group at the financial position date.

Deferred income tax is provided for in full, using the liability method, on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values in the financial statements. Currently enacted tax rates are used to determine deferred income tax.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, where deferred tax assets resulting from deductible temporary differences (including unused incentive amounts and carried forward tax losses of prior years) are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised.

The parent company recognizes deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in Subsidiaries, only to the extent that:

  • the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and
  • taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The parent company recognizes deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in Subsidiaries except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the parent is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and
  • it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Taxes on income (continued)

Government grants allowing reduced corporate tax payment are evaluated within the scope of TAS 12 Income Taxes standard and are recognised as deferred tax asset by the qualified tax advantage amount, to the extent it is highly probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the unused investment tax credits can be utilised.

The tax effects of the transactions that are accounted directly in the equity are also reflected to the equity.

When the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority with the condition of being same taxpayer entity and there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset accordingly.

Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of provision shall be the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The discount rate reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The discount rate shall be a pre-tax rate and shall not reflect risks for which future cash flow estimates have been adjusted.

Possible assets or obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group are not included in the financial statements and treated as contingent assets or liabilities.

Environmental rehabilitation, rehabilitation of mining sites and mine closure provision

The Group records the present value of the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore the operating places in the period in which the obligation occurred (Note 20 b). These restoration activities include the dismantling and removal of structures, the rehabilitation of mines and waste dams, the dismantling of operating facilities, the closure and restoration of factories and waste areas, and the remediation and greening of the affected areas. The requirement usually occurs when the asset is set up or the place / environment in the production area is adversely affected.

When the liability is first recorded, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the net book value of the relevant mining assets up to the amount at which the development / construction of the mine will take place. The liability that is discounted over time is increased by the change in the present value, which depends on the discount rates reflecting the market evaluations in the current period and the risks specific to the liability.

The periodic fluctuation of the discount is recognized as a financial cost in the income statement. Additional disruptions or changes in rehabilitation costs are reflected in the respective assets and rehabilitation liabilities as purchase or expense as they occur.

Provisions for employee benefits

a) Provision for employment termination benefits

The provision for employment termination benefits, as required by Turkish Labour Law represents the present value of the future probable obligation of the Group arising from the retirement of its employees based on the actuarial projections.

The provision for severance pays represents the discounted value at the date of the statement of financial position of the estimated total provision for possible future liabilities arising from the retirement of the Group's employees in accordance with the Labor Law.

TAS 19 "Employee Benefits" requires actuarial assumptions (net discount rate, turnover rate to estimate the probability of retirement etc.) to estimate the entity's obligation for employment termination benefits. The effects of differences between the actuarial assumptions and the actual outcome together with the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions compose the actuarial gains / losses and recognised under the statement of other comprehensive income.

b) Defined benefit plans

The Group has to pay contributions to the Social Security Institution on a mandatory basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. These contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense when they are accrued.

c) Unused vacation rights

Liabilities arising from unused vacations of the employees are accrued in the period when the unused vacations are qualified.

Paid in capital

Ordinary shares are classified in equity. Costs related to the issuance of new shares and options are recognized in equity with an amount equal to collected amount less tax effects.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share disclosed in the income statement are determined by dividing net income attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period concerned.

In Türkiye, companies can increase their share capital through a pro-rata distribution of shares ("bonus shares") to existing shareholders from retained earnings and inflation adjustment to equity. For the purpose of earnings per share computations, the weighted average number of shares in existence during the period has been adjusted in respect of bonus share issues without a corresponding change in resources, by giving them retroactive effect for the period in which they were issued and each earlier period as if the event had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period reported.

Since the Group has withdrawn shares in the current accounting period, the effect of these transactions is also taken into account in the calculation of earnings per share.

Revenue from contracts with customers

In accordance with TFRS 15 "Revenue from Customer Contracts", effective from January 1, 2018, the Group has started to use the five-step model below to recognize revenue.

  • Identification of customer contracts
  • Identification of performance obligations
  • Determination of the transaction price in the contracts
  • Allocation of transaction price to the performance obligations
  • Recognition of revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied

The Group evaluates each contracted obligation separately and respective obligations, committed to deliver the distinct goods or perform services, are determined as separate performance obligations.

According to this model, firstly, the goods or services in the contract with the customers are assessed and each commitment for transfering the goods or services is determined as a separate performance obligation. Then it is assessed whether the performance obligations will be fulfilled at a point in time or over time. When the Group transfers control of a good or service over time, and therefore fulfilles a performance obligation over time, then the revenue is recognised over time by measuring the progress of completion. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customers.

Following indicators are considered while evaluating the transfer of control of the goods and services:

  • a) presence of Group's collection right of the consideration for the goods or services,
  • b) customer's ownership of the legal title on goods or services,
  • c) physical transfer of the goods or services,
  • d) customer's ownership of significant risks and rewards related to the goods or services,
  • e) customer's acceptance of goods or services.

The main activities of the Group are operating seven mines in five regions which are Ovacık-Bergama-İzmir, Çukuralan-İzmir, Kaymaz-Eskişehir, Mastra-Gümüşhane and Himmetdede-Kayseri, searching for gold mines generally in Türkiye regions and improving the mine fileds of on-going projects.

The Group sells its dore bars of gold to a domestic bank on consignment to be sold to the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye which has pre-emptive rights, and silver to a domestic refinery again on consignment. Due to the fact that the sales are made on demand and the customer is corporate, the Group effectively manages the receivable risk, taking into account the past experiences.

At contract inception, if the Group expects that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service and the payment is one year or less, the Group applies the practical expedient and does not make any adjustment for the effect of a significant financing component on the promised amount of consideration. On the other hand, when the contract effectively constitutes a financing component, the transaction price for these contracts is discounted, using the interest rate implicit in the contract. The difference between the discounted value and the nominal amount of the consideration is recognised on an accrual basis as other operating income.

Interest income

Interest income is accrued on a timely basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash fows through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition. Interest and foreign exchange gains and losses arising from trading transactions are recognized in other operating income and expense.

Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

i. Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

At initial recognition the Group classifies its financial assets in three categories as; financial assets measured at amortised cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets measured at fair value through profit of loss.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them.

With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement and classification

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

a. Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at fair value through profit of loss:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • it is its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

The Group's financial assets at amortised cost includes cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables.

b. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income when they are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-byinstrument basis. The Group elected to classify irrevocably its non-listed equity investments under this category.

The accounting policies below apply to gains and losses from subsequent measurements:

Debt instruments
measured at fair value
through other
comprehensive income
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income
calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses
and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are
recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses
accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Equity instruments These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as
measured at fair value income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of
through other the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other
comprehensive income comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

The Group's consolidated financial statements do not include any of the financial instruments mentioned above.

c. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income as described above are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group's statement of financial position) when:

  • The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
  • The Group has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group transfers a financial asset, it evaluates the extent to which it retains the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. When the Group has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from an asset and neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement.

Impairment

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss.

ECLs are recognised in two stages:

  • 12-month ECL: For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months,
  • Lifetime ECL: For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure.

For trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The expected credit losses were calculated based on a provision matrix that is based on the Group's historical credit loss experience, considering for forward-looking factors.

Financial instruments (continued)

ii. Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:

• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by TFRS 9. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

• Financial liabilities at amortised cost

After initial recognition, borrowings and trade and other payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective inerest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.

iii. Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Government grants

Government grants along with investment, research and development grants are accounted on accrual basis with their fair values when the application of grants is approved. These grants are accounted for as deferred income in the statement of financial position and are credited to income statement on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of related assets. Government grants allowing reduced corporate tax practice are evaluated within the scope of TAS 12 Income Taxes standard.

Statement of cash flows

Cash flows during the period are classified and reported by operating, investing and financing activities in the cash flow statements.

Cash flows from operating activities represent the cash flows generated from the Group's activities. Cash flows related to investing activities represent the cash flows that are used in or provided from the investing activities of the Group (tangible and intangible assets and financial assets). Cash flows arising from financing activities represent the cash proceeds from the financing activities of the Group and the repayments of these funds.

Events after financial position date

The Group adjusts the amounts recognised in its consolidated financial statements to reflect the adjusting events after the financial position date. If non-adjusting events after the financial position date have material influence on the economic decisions of users of the consolidated financial statements, they are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Reporting financial information by segments

To be designated as a reportable segment, an operating segment's reported revenue, including sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, must be 10 percent or more of the total revenue of all operating segments, both internal and external, its reported profit or loss must be 10 percent or more of the total assets of all operating segments, or its assets must be 10 percent or more of the total assets of all operating segments. If management believes that the information about the segment will be useful to financial statement users, operating segments that do not meet any of the above numerical thresholds may also be considered as reportable segments and information about them may be disclosed separately.

Segment reporting is designed to ensure uniformity with reporting to the decision-making authority regarding the Group's activities. The Group's operational decision-making authority is responsible for making decisions regarding the resources to be allocated to the departments and evaluating the performance of the departments.

2.6 Significant accounting judgments estimates and assumptions

In the preparation of financial statements, the Group management requires the use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the amounts of income and expenses reported during the accounting period. Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated by considering past experience, other factors and reasonable expectations about future events under current conditions. Necessary corrections are made and presented in the profit or loss statement in the period when it realized. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on management's best knowledge of current events and transactions, actual results may differ from their assumptions.

a) Mining assets consists of mine site development costs, mining rights, mining lands, deferred stripping costs and discounted costs associated with the improvement, rehabilitation and closure of mine sites. Mining assets are accounted in the consolidated financial statements with their net book value after deducting the accumulated depreciation and permanent impairment, if any, from their acquisition costs. Mining assets start to be amortized on a production basis according to producible ore reserve with the commencement of production. The depreciation expenses of the mining assets are associated with the production costs on the basis of the relevant mining sites.

Within the scope of long-term plan studies, which are regularly updated, the Group conducts studies to determine the remaining reserves of mining assets, production-based depreciation calculations, and rehabilitation provisions within this scope.

The Group management reviews the estimates made in relation to the visible and probable mineral reserves in each balance sheet period. In certain periods, the Group management has independent professional valuation companies make valuation studies in accordance with the Australian Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Gold Reserves 2012 Standards ("JORC") to determine the amount of visible, possible and probable mineral reserves and it is updated by or under the supervision of persons who have the competencies specified in. The reserves and resource amounts in question have been audited and approved by the independent professional valuation company "SRK Consulting" in line with the "JORC" standards as of December 31, 2023. Inspection of reserves and resources according to UMREK standards has been completed and approved as of December 31, 2023.

Within the scope of these studies, the assumptions and methods used in determining the mineral reserves contain some uncertainties (such as gold prices, exchange rates, geographic and statistical variables), and the assumptions and methods developed in relation to the mineral reserve may change significantly depending on the availability of new information. The cost and depreciation of mining assets are adjusted prospectively based on these updates.

2.6 Significant accounting judgments estimates and assumptions

  • b) Mining assets are amortized using the "production" method and the visible and possible gold reserve amount is used to calculate the depreciation rate. Other tangible assets, both movable and fixed, other than mining assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives, limited with lifetime of the mines they are related to. The depreciation amounts calculated on the basis of the visible and possible gold reserves and using the production unit's method may vary between periods and for some mining assets, the depreciation may be affected by the deviation between the actual and estimated production amounts. These differences arise from the variables or assumptions stated below;
    • Changes in the amount of visible and possible gold reserves as a result of the work done,
    • The reserve's tenor ("grade") ratio, which can vary significantly from time to time, actual gold price and the estimated gold price taken into account in reserve valuation and tenor determination studies,
    • Other matters that may occur in the mine sites and cannot be predicted in advance and may affect the activities,
    • Unpredictable changes in mining, processing and rehabilitation costs, discount rates, exchange rate changes,
    • The effects of changes in mineral life on the useful life of tangible assets depreciated with the straightline method and whose useful life are limited to the mine life.

The impairment tests performed by the Company management depend on the management's estimates about the future gold prices, current market conditions, exchange rates and pre-tax discount rate together with the relevant project risk. The recoverable value of the cash-generating units is determined as the higher one from the use value of the relevant cash-generating unit or its fair value after deducting sales costs. These calculations require the use of some assumptions and estimates. Changes in assumptions and estimates based on gold prices may affect the useful life of mines, and conditions may arise that may require adjustment on the carrying values of both goodwill and related assets.

Assets are grouped as independent and smallest cash generating units. If an impairment indicator is determined, estimates and assumptions are established for the cash flows to be obtained from each cashgenerating unit determined. Impairment tests of both tangible assets and goodwill contain a certain amount of uncertainty due to the estimates and assumptions used. This uncertainty arises from the amount of visible and possible workable gold reserves used, current and future predicted gold prices, discount rates, exchange rates and estimated production costs.

2.6 Significant accounting judgments estimates and assumptions (continued)

c) Amount of provisions reflected in consolidated financial statements regarding environmental rehabilitation, improvement of mine sites and closure of mine sites is based on the plans of the Group management and the requirements of the relevant legal regulations. Changes in the aforementioned plans and legal regulations, upto-date market data and prices, discount rates used, changes in estimates based on mineral resources and reserves may affect provisions.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group reassessed the provision amounts due to changes in discount rates, costs, production areas subject to rehabilitation and reserve lifetimes. The Group evaluates the mine rehabilitation provision annually. Significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining the provision for mine rehabilitation due to the large number of factors that may affect the final liability to be paid. These factors include estimates of the scope and cost of rehabilitation activities, technological changes, changes in regulations, cost increases proportional to inflation rates and changes in net discount rates (December 31, 2024: 4.33%, December 31, 2023: 5.35%). These uncertainties may cause future expenditures to differ from the amounts estimated today.

The provision amount at the reporting date represents the best estimate of the present value of future rehabilitation costs. Changes in estimated future costs are accounted in the balance sheet by increasing or decreasing the rehabilitation obligation or asset if the initial estimate was initially recognized as part of an asset measured in accordance with TAS 16 Property, plant and equipment. Any reduction in the rehabilitation obligation and hence any reduction in the rehabilitation asset cannot exceed the carried value of that asset. In case of excess, the amount exceeding the carried value is immediately taken to profit or loss.

  • d) As the Group operates in the mining industry, it is exposed to many risks arising from laws and regulations. As of the balance sheet date, the results of current or future legal practices can be estimated within a certain ratio, based on the past experiences of the Group management and as a result of the legal consultancy received. Negative effects of a decision or application that may be taken against the Group may significantly affect the activities of the Group. As of December 31, 2024, there is no legal risk expected to significantly affect the activities of the Group.
  • e) At the stage of determining the amount of the provision for the lawsuits, the management consider the possibility of the ongoing lawsuits to be concluded against the Group and the legal advisors' evaluation of the consequences that may arise in case these lawsuits are concluded against the Group. The Group management makes the best estimate based on the information provided.
  • f) The gold in circuit inventory amount, which is followed as a semi-finished product and has not yet turned into finished gold during the production process, is evaluated separately for each production facility by making technical production calculations and estimations. The gold in circuit process, which is common for both tank leaching and heap leach production plants, ends after finished gold is obtained. Since the production processes of tank leaching and heap leaching facilities are different from each other, the amount of gold stock in the circuit differs on the basis of facilities, and the estimated amount of gold that can be obtained from the gold in circuit stocks of each facility at the end of the production process and the life of mine is analyzed based on technical calculations.

20. Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities (continued)

c) Provisions for employee benefits (continued)

Under the Turkish Labour Law, the Group is required to pay employment termination benefits to each employee who has qualified for such benefits as the employment ended. Also, employees who are entitled to a retirement are required to be paid retirement pay in accordance with Law No: 2422 dated March 6, 1981 and No: 4447 dated August 25, 1999 and the amended Article 60 of the existing Social Insurance Code No: 506. Some transition provisions related to the pre-retirement service term were excluded from the law since the related law was changed as of May 23, 2002.

The principal assumption is that the maximum liability for each year of service will increase in line with inflation. Thus, the discount rate applied represents the real rate net of expected effects of inflation. The severance pay ceiling is revised in every six months, and the ceiling amount of TL 41,828.42 (2023: TL 23,489.83) was taken into consideration in the calculation of the provision for severance pay. TFRS requires actuarial valuation methods to be developed to estimate the provision for severance pay. Accordingly, the following actuarial assumptions were used in the calculation of the total liability:

December 31,
2024
December 31,
2023
Net discount rate 3,35% 2,00%
Probability of qualifying for seniority 95,03% 94,41%

The movements of the provision for severance pay within the accounting periods of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

(*) The regulation that lifts the retirement age requirement for employees who started work before September 8, 1999 was published in the Official Gazette on March 3, 2023. Accordingly, those employees who have completed the number of premium days and insurance period are entitled to retire. The amount in question is the past service cost of the personnel who are considered to be at retirement age due to the regulation considered as a plan change.

These lawsuits are related to the expansion of the activities in some licensed fields and / or the permits and licenses of the new areas to be operated.

Lawsuits related to Çukuralan mine:

A lawsuit numbered 2017/1656 E. was filed against the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization at the İzmir 6th Administrative Court for the cancellation of the positive EIA report given for the Çukuralan Operation 3rd Capacity Increase Project, and the Company intervened in the lawsuit. The court decided to cancel the transaction in question, and as a result of the appeal review, the Council of State found the decision of the local court to be incorrect and overturned the decision in favor of the Company. While the trial is continuing at the İzmir 6th Administrative Court on the basis of case number 2019/574, the court decided to cancel the said transaction with its decision dated February 23, 2021. The decision has been appealed. A lawsuit numbered 2019/1120 E. was filed at the İzmir 6th Administrative Court for the stay of execution and cancellation of the positive Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Decision given by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization regarding the Çukuralan Gold Mine Operation 3rd capacity increase 2009/7 project. The company has intervened in the relevant case alongside the defendant Ministry. The previous main file number and court of the relevant case is İzmir 3rd Administrative Court 2019/171 E. and due to the connection with the relevant case Çukuralan 3rd Capacity Increase file, the main file record was closed by the decision of İzmir Regional Administrative Court 4th Administrative Litigation Department and due to the connection, İzmir 3rd Administrative Court decided to send it to İzmir 6th Administrative Court. While the relevant case continues with İzmir 6th Administrative Court number 2019/1120 E., according to the decision given by the court, the positive EIA decision in question was annulled and an appeal was filed. At this point, according to the Council of State decision, for the file 2019/574 E., it was concluded that due to the fact that a second positive EIA decision was given regarding the project in question, it was not possible to apply two different positive EIA decisions regarding the same project together, that the defendant Ministry should accept that the EIA positive decision in question was implicitly withdrawn, and that the subject of the ongoing case was no longer a subject, therefore, it was definitely decided that the decision numbered 2019/574 E. of the İzmir 6th Administrative Court should be overturned and that there was no need to give a decision; and for the file 2019/1120 E., it was definitely decided that there was no legal error in the part of the decision of the İzmir 6th Administrative Court regarding the cancellation of the transaction in question, and that the appeal requests of the defendant Ministry and the intervening company as well as the defendant Ministry should be rejected.

In addition, the company intervened in the lawsuit filed by some plaintiffs against the Governorship of Izmir for the annulment of the Environmental Impact Assessment Not Required decision given for the Çukuralan Gold Mine Crushing and Screening Facility Project planned to be built by the company in the Izmir 6th Administrative Court file numbered 2020/1479 E., and it was decided to partially accept and partially reject the appeal requests of the intervening company.

The company intervened in the relevant case alongside the defendant ministry in both files, and in both files, the court ruled to reject the case on the grounds that the EIA positive decision was in accordance with the law. The decision given in the file numbered 2021/1407 E. of the Izmir 4th Administrative Court and the file numbered 2021/1013 E. of the Izmir 4th Administrative Court was appealed by the plaintiffs, and as a result of the appeal trial, the plaintiffs' appeal request was accepted, and since a more detailed examination was required procedurally, the first instance court decision was overturned by a majority vote against the company, and the file was sent to the first instance court for a more detailed examination. The file numbered 2021/1407 E. of the Izmir 4th Administrative Court has received the number 2023/1278 E. of the Izmir 4th Administrative Court, and the file numbered 2021/1013 E. of the Izmir 4th Administrative Court has received the number 2023/1294 E. of the Izmir 4th Administrative Court.

29. Income tax

Current income tax

Corporate tax is applied on taxable corporate income, which is calculated from the statutory accounting profit by adding back non-deductible expenses, dividend income from domestic companies, other exempt income and investment incentives utilized.

As of December 31, 2024, the effective corporate tax rate applied is 25% (December 31, 2023: 25%).

In Türkiye, advance tax is calculated and accrued on a three-month basis. The provisional tax rate to be calculated on corporate earnings during the taxation of 2024 corporate earnings as of the provisional tax periods is 25%. Losses can be carried forward for a maximum of 5 years to be deducted from taxable profits in future years. However, losses incurred cannot be deducted retroactively from profits in previous years.

Income Withholding Tax

In addition to corporate tax, income tax withholding must be calculated separately on dividends, excluding those distributed to full-fledged corporations and foreign companies' branches in Türkiye, which receive dividends in case of distribution and declare these dividends by including them in corporate income. Income tax withholding was applied as 10% in all companies between April 24, 2003 and July 22, 2006. As of December 22, 2021, this rate is applied as 15% with the President's decision numbered 4936. Dividends that are not distributed and added to the capital are not subject to income tax withholding.

Deferred taxes

The Gorup recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences arising from differences between its tax base legal financial statements and its financial statements prepared in accordance with TMS / TFRS. The aforementioned differences are generally due to the fact that some income and expense items are included in different periods in the financial statements subject to tax and the financial statements prepared in accordance with TMS / TFRS, and these differences are stated below. In the calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the tax rates expected to be applied in the periods when assets are converted into income or debts are paid are taken into account. The breakdown of cumulative temporary differences and the resulting deferred tax assets/(liabilities) at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

30. Earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the current year net profit of the parent company by the weighted average number of shares traded throughout the year. Companies in Türkiye have right to increase its capital through the distribution of bonus shares to be met from the re-valuation fund or accumulated profits. During the calculation of earnings per share, these increases are accepted as shares distributed as dividends. Dividend distributions added to the capital are also evaluated in the same way. Therefore, while calculating the average number of shares, it is assumed that such shares are in circulation throughout the year. For this reason, the weighted average of the number of shares used in calculating the earnings per share is determined by considering the retroactive effects.

The earnings per share of the Group as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

January 1 –
December 31,
2024
January 1 –
December 31,

Earnings per 100 shares (0,384) 0,100
Total comprehensive income attributable to the owners of the Group (980.082) 288.777
Earnings per 100 shares from total comprehensive income (0,377) 0,111

(*) If the number of ordinary or potential ordinary shares outstanding increases as a result of capitalization, bonus issue or share split, or decreases as a result of a share merger, the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented is adjusted retrospectively. If these changes occur after the reporting period but before the financial statements are approved for issue, the calculations per share in the financial statements of the current period and prior periods presented are based on the number of new shares outstanding. It is disclosed to the public that the calculations per share reflect the changes in the number of shares. In addition, for all periods presented, basic and diluted earnings per share figures are adjusted for the effects of retrospectively corrected errors and changes in accounting policies. The average number of shares in the current period was determined by calculating on a daily basis according to the repurchased shares.

31. Related party disclosures

In this context, the current interest for December 2024 was applied as %55,56 per year (December 31, 2023: 52,07%).

32. Nature and level of risks arising from financial instruments

The Group's main financial instruments consist of cash, short-term deposits, currency protected deposits and funds. The main purpose of financial instruments is to finance the activities of the Group. Apart from these, the Group has financial instruments such as trade receivables and payables that arise as a result of its activities.

The Group is exposed to market risk, which consists of currency, cash flow and interest rate risks, capital risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, due to operations. Risk management policy is to focus on unexpected changes in the financial markets.

The management policy of financial risks should be made by the Group's senior management and commercial and financial affairs department in line with the policies and strategies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors should prepare general principles and policies for the management of currency, interest and capital risks, and closely monitor financial and operational risks (especially arising from fluctuations in gold prices). The Group does not have an Early Risk Detection Committee.

The purpose that the Group should set to manage financial risks can be summarized as follows:

  • Ensuring the continuity of the cash flow obtained from the activities and main assets of the Group, taking into account the exchange rate and interest risks,
  • Keeping a sufficient amount of credit resources available to be used effectively and efficiently under the most appropriate conditions in terms of type and maturity,
  • Keeping the risks arising from the counterparty at a minimum level and following them effectively.

The main risks arising from the financial instruments of the Group are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies of the management regarding to manage these risks are summarized below.

a) Credit risk:

The risk of financial loss of the Group due to the failure of one of the parties to the financial instrument to fulfill its contractual obligation is defined as credit risk. Financial instruments of the Group that may cause a significant concentration of credit risk mainly consist of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The maximum credit risk that the Group may be exposed to is up to the amounts reflected in the financial statements.

The Group has cash and cash equivalents in various financial institutions.

The Group sells its dore bars of gold to a domestic bank on consignment to be sold to the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye which has pre-emptive rights, and silver to a domestic refinery again on consignment. Due to the fact that the sales are made on demand and the customer is corporate, the Group considers that there is no significant risk of receivables.

b) Market risk

Due to operations, the Group is exposed to financial risks related to changes in exchange rates and interest rates. Market risks encountered by the Group are measured on the basis of sensitivity analysis. In the current year, there isn't any change in the market risk that the Group is exposed to, or the method of handling the encountered risks or the method used to measure these risks, compared to the previous year. Transactions in foreign currency cause exchange risk. The Group controls this risk through a natural precaution that occurs by netting foreign currency assets and liabilities.

Price risk

The most important operational risk of the Group is the gold price risk.

The operational profitability of the Group and the cash flows it provides from its operations are affected by the changes in gold and silver prices in the markets. If the gold prices decrease comparing under the cash-based operational production costs of the Group and continue in this way for a certain period, the operational profitability of the Group may decrease.

The Group does not expect any change in gold prices to drop significantly in the near future. Accordingly, the Group has not used any derivative instruments to hedge the risk of falling gold prices and has not made a similar agreement.

c) Capital risk management:

While managing the capital, the Group's objectives are to maintain the most appropriate capital structure in order to benefit its shareholders and reduce the cost of capital and to ensure the continuity of the Group's activities.

In order to return capital to shareholders, the Group could maintain or reorganize its capital structure, issue new shares, and sell assets to reduce borrowing.

The Group uses the net financial debt / equity ratio to monitor the capital structure. Net debt is calculated by deducting cash and cash equivalents from the total debt amount (including loans and other payables to related parties as shown in the balance sheet). Group management should follow the net debt / equity ratio regularly and update it when necessary. The Group does not have an Early Detection of Risk Committee.
