Financial statements are presented in TL, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company.
Foreign currency transactions have been converted over the exchange rates valid on the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities based on foreign currency are converted using the exchange rates valid on the date of the statement of financial position. Exchange difference income or expense arising from foreign currency-based operational transactions (trade receivables and debts) is presented under the "other income / expenses from operating activities", while the exchange difference income or expense arising from the translation of other foreign currency based monetary assets and liabilities is presented under "finance income / expenses" in the statement of profit or loss.
Entities applying TFRSs have started to apply inflation accounting in accordance with TAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies as of financial statements for the annual reporting period ending on or after 31 December 2023 with the announcements made by the Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (POA) on 23 November 2023. TAS 29 is applied to the financial statements, including the consolidated financial statements, of any entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy.
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial investments measured at fair value measured at revalued amounts.
Financial statements and corresponding figures for previous periods have been restated for the changes in the general purchasing power of Turkish lira and, as a result, are expressed in terms of purchasing power of Turkish lira as of 31 December 2023 as per TAS 29.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
On the application of TAS 29, the entity used the conversion coefficient derived from the Customer Price Indexes (CPI) published by Turkey Statistical Institute according to directions given by POA. The CPI for current and previous year periods and corresponding conversion factors since the time when the Turkish lira previously ceased to be considered currency of hyperinflationary economy, i.e., since 1 January 2005, were as follow:
| Year end | Index | Index, % | Conversion Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2004 | 113.86 | 13.86 | 16.33041 |
| 2005 | 122.65 | 7.72 | 15.16005 |
| 2006 | 134.49 | 9.65 | 13.82541 |
| 2007 | 145.77 | 8.39 | 12.75557 |

| 2010 | 181.85 | 6.40 | 10.22480 |
| 2011 | 200.85 | 10.45 | 9.25756 |
| 2012 | 213.23 | 6.16 | 8.72007 |
| 2013 | 229.01 | 7.40 | 8.11921 |
| 2014 | 247.72 | 8.17 | 7.50597 |
| 2015 | 269.54 | 8.81 | 6.89835 |
| 2016 | 292.54 | 8.53 | 6.35599 |
| 2017 | 327.41 | 11.92 | 5.67906 |
| 2018 | 393.88 | 20.30 | 4.72068 |
| 2019 | 440.50 | 11.84 | 4.22107 |
| 2020 | 504.81 | 14.60 | 3.68333 |
| 2021 | 686.95 | 36.08 | 2.70672 |
| 2022 | 1128.45 | 64.27 | 1.64773 |
| 2023 | 1859.38 | 64.77 | 1,00000 |
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 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 31 December 2023. Non-monetary items which are not expressed in terms of measuring unit as of 31 December 2023 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 1 January 2005, were restated by applying the change in the CPI from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2023.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023
(Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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 first reporting period in which TAS 29 is applied, the requirements of the Standard are applied as if the economy had always been hyperinflationary. Therefore, the statement of financial position at the beginning of the earliest comparative period, i.e as of 1 January 2022, was restated as the base of all subsequent reporting. Restated retained earnings/losses in the statement of financial position as of 1 January 2022 was derived as balancing figure in the restated statement of financial position.
The Company has prepared its financial statements according to the going concern principle.
The Company has prepared its financial statements for the period ending on December 31, 2023, in accordance with the CMB's Communiqué Serial: II-14.1 and its announcements clarifying this communiqué. The financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the formats recommended by CMB and including the required information.
Accounting policy changes arising from the implementation of a new TAS / TFRS for the first time are applied retrospectively or prospectively in accordance with the transition provisions of the TAS / TFRS, if any. If there is no transition requirement, significant optional changes in accounting policies or detected accounting errors are applied retrospectively and the financial statements of the previous period are restated. Changes in accounting estimates are applied in the current period when the change is made if they are related to only one period, and if they are related to future periods, they are applied both in the period of change and prospectively.
Assets that are critical parts worth 618,846 thousand TL, which were presented as spare parts under stocks in the 31 December 2022 financials, started to be presented as other fixed assets as of 31 December 2023.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023
(Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2023 are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of new and amended TFRS and TFRS interpretations effective as of January 1, 2023 and thereafter. The effects of these standards and interpretations on the Company's financial position and performance have been disclosed in the related paragraphs.
The amendments did not have a significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.
Standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards that are issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the financial statements are as follows. The Company will make the necessary changes if not indicated otherwise, which will be affecting the financial statements and disclosures, when the new standards and interpretations become effective.
Overall, the Company expects no significant impact on its balance sheet and equity.
The following amendments to IAS 21 and IFRS 18 are issued by IASB but not yet adapted/issued by POA. Therefore, they do not constitute part of TFRS. The Company will make the necessary changes to its financial statements after the amendments and new Standard are issued and become effective under TFRS.
The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the amendments on financial position or performance of the Company.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
Significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are summarized below:
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.
Company sales of the product, the content of dore bars of gold pre-emptive right with a bank on the domestic as consignment to be sold to the Central Bank of Turkey, while the sale of silver on domestic refinery is still done on a consignment basis.
The "simplified approach" is applied within the scope of the impairment calculations of trade receivables originating from other activities of the Company, 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.
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 Company's inventoires consists 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.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses.

If one of the below listed criteria exists the party is regarded as related with the Group:
Transaction with related parties is the transfer of resources, services or obligations between related parties, regardless of whether they are paid for.
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.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
The Company 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:
Useful lives of right-of-use assets are as follows:
Buildings 4 years Motor vehicles 2-4 years
Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company 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 Company 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:
After the commencement date, Company measures the lease liability by:

Company 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 Company and the respective lessor. Company 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 Company and the Company is reasonably certain to exercise those options. If a significant change in circumstances takes place, related lease term assessment is revisited by the Company.
The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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).
Some lease contracts of the Company contain variable payment terms. Variable lease payments are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the related period.
All the leases that Company 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.
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.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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 imrovements | (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 Company. 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.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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 Company 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 Company 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.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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.
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 Company 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 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".
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
Computer software and rights are recognized at their acquisition cost. They are amortized on a straightline basis over their estimated useful lives and carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Their estimated useful lives are between 3 and 5 years.
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 Company 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".
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 Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023
(Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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 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 Company 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 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:
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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 are recognised when the Company 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 Company are not included in the financial statements and treated as contingent assets or liabilities.
The Company 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 18). 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.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
The provision for employment termination benefits, as required by Turkish Labour Law represents the present value of the future probable obligation of the Company arising from the retirement of its employees based on the actuarial projections.
The provision for severance pay 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 Company'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 other comprehensive income.
The Company has to pay contributions to the Social Security Institution on a mandatory basis. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. These contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense when they are accrued.
Liabilities arising from unused vacations of the employees are accrued in the period when the unused vacations are qualified.
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 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 Turkey, 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 company 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.

In accordance with TFRS 15 "Revenue from Customer Contracts", effective from January 1, 2018, the Company has started to use the five-step model below to recognize revenue.
Company 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 Company 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:
The main activities of the Company 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 Turkey regions and improving the mine fileds of on going projects.
The Company sales consist gold dore bars with a right of first refusal to domestic banks on consignment to be sold to the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey and silver to a domestic refinery on consignment. Due to the fact that the sales are made on demand and the customer is corporate, the Company effectively manages the receivable risk, taking into account the past experiences.
At contract inception, if the Company expects that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service and the payment is one year or less, the Company 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.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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.
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.
At initial recognition Company 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 Company's business model for managing them.
With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient, the Company 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.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company 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 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:
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 Company's financial assets at amortised cost includes cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:
Upon initial recognition, the Company 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 Company elected to classify irrevocably its non-listed equity investments under this category .
The accounting policies below apply to gains and losses from subsequent measurements:
| These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income | |
|---|---|
| Debt instruments | calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and |
| measured at fair value | losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and |
| through other | losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, |
| comprehensive income | 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 |
| measured at fair value | recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents |
| through other | a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses |
| comprehensive income | are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified |
| to 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.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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 Company's statement of financial position) when:
When the Company transfers a financial asset, it evaluates the extent to which it retains the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. When the Company 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 Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement.
The Company 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:
For trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company 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 Company's historical credit loss experience, considering for forward-looking factors.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
Financial instruments (continued)
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 Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company 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.
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.
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.
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 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 straightline 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.
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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 Company's activities.
Cash flows related to investing activities represent the cash flows that are used in or provided from the investing activities of the Company (tangible and intangible assets and financial assets).
Cash flows arising from financing activities represent the cash proceeds from the financing activities of the Company and the repayments of these funds.
The Company adjusts the amounts recognised in its 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 financial statements, they are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
In the preparation of financial statements, the Company 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 Company conducts studies to determine the remaining reserves of mining assets, production-based depreciation calculations, and rehabilitation provisions within this scope.
The Company management reviews the estimates made in relation to the visible and probable mineral reserves in each balance sheet period. In certain periods, the Company 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 31 December 2023. Inspection of reserves and resources according to UMREK standards has been completed and approved.

(Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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.
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 cash-generating 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.

(Amounts are expressed in thousands of TL, based on the purchasing power of Turkish Lira ("TL") as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.)
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 Company management and the requirements of the relevant legal regulations. Changes in the aforementioned plans and legal regulations, up-to-date market data and prices, discount rates used, changes in estimates based on mineral resources and reserves may affect provisions.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company reassessed the provision amounts due to changes in discount rates, costs, production areas subject to rehabilitation and reserve lifetimes. The Company 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, 2023: 5.35%, December 31, 2022: 4.07%). 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.

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 23.489,83 (2022: TL 15.371,40) 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, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net discount rate | %2,00 | %2,00 |
| Probability of qualifying for seniority | %94,41 | %94,41 |
The movements of the provision for severance pay within the accounting periods of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:
| 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| January 1 | 175.676 | 115.841 |
| Interest cost | 29.491 | 17.119 |
| Service cost | 20.908 | 14.348 |
| Past year service cost (*) | 3.262 | - |
| Severance paid | (62.127) | (18.389) |
| Actuarial loss / (gain) | 38.805 | 116.143 |
| Monetary gain | (67.130) | (69.386) |
| December 31 | 138.885 | 175.676 |
(*) The regulation removing the retirement age requirement for employees who started employment 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 is the past service cost of the employees who are at retirement age due to the regulation considered as a plan change.
Severance pay liability is not legally subject to any funding. Provision for severance pay is calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation of the Group arising from the retirement of the employees. TAS 19 ("Employee Benefits") stipulates the development of Group's liabilities within the scope of defined benefit plans by using actuarial valuation methods.

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.
The effective tax rate applied in 2023 is 25% (2022: 23%).
20% tax rate that is specified in the first paragraph of Article 32 of the Corporate Tax Law No. 5520 and the Law No. 7061 "Amending Some Tax Laws and Some Other Laws" adopted on November 28, 2018 will be applied as 22% for corporate earnings for the 2018, 2019 and 2020 taxation periods has been added with a provisional article. Also with the same regulation and stated in 5520 numbered Law No, 5, 75% of exemption from corporate tax rate the profits arising from the sale of real estates (immovables) which is in assets for at least two full years has been changed to 50%.
In Turkey, temporary taxes are calculated and accrued on a quarterly basis. Corporate income tax rate applied in 2023 is 25%. Losses can be carried forward for offset against future taxable income for up to 5 years. However, losses cannot be carried back for offset against profits from previous periods.
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 Turkey, 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 22 December 2021, this rate is applied as 10% with the President's decision numbered 4936. Dividends that are not distributed and added to the capital are not subject to income tax withholding.
Tax Advantages Obtained Under the Investment Incentive System: The Company's earnings from investments tied to an incentive certificate are subject to corporate tax at discounted rates, starting from the accounting period in which the investment is partially or fully operational, until the investment contribution amount is reached. In this context, tax advantage amounting to 784.383 thousand TL (31 December 2022: 536.682 thousand TL) that the Company will benefit from in the foreseeable future as of December 31, 2023 is reflected in the financial statements as a deferred tax asset. As a result of the recognition of the said tax advantage as of December 31, 2023, deferred tax income amounting to 37.011 thousand TL has been realized in the profit or loss statement for the period from January 1, to December31, 2023.
Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is determined that taxable income is likely to occur in the coming years. In cases where taxable income is likely to occur, deferred tax assets are calculated over deductible temporary differences, tax losses and tax advantages vested in indefinite-lived investment incentives that allow reduced corporate tax payments. In this context, the Company bases the reflection of deferred tax assets arising from investment incentives in the financial statements on longterm plans and evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets related to these investment incentives as of each balance sheet date, based on business models that include taxable profit estimations. It is foreseen that the deferred tax assets in question will be recovered within 5 years from the balance sheet date.
In the sensitivity analysis carried out as of December 31, 2023, when the inputs in the basic macroeconomic and sectoral assumptions that make up the business plans are increased/decreased by 10%, the recovery period of deferred tax assets regarding investment incentives, which is foreseen as 5 years, has not changed.

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 condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with TMS / TFRS, and these differences are stated below.

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 Turkey 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.

Due to operations, the Company is exposed to financial risks related to changes in exchange rates and interest rates. Market risks encountered by the Company are measured on the basis of sensitivity analysis. In the current year, there isn't any change in the market risk that the Company is exposed to, or the method of handling the encountered risks or the method used to measure these risks, compared to the previous year.

Price risk
The most important operational risk of the Company is the gold price risk.
The operational profitability of the Company and the cash flows it provides from its operations are affected by the changes in gold and silver prices in the markets. I f the gold prices decrease comparing under the cash-based operational production costs of the Company and continue in this way for a certain period, the operational profitability of the Company may decrease.
The Company does not expect any change in gold prices to drop significantly in the near future. Accordingly, the Company has not used any derivative instruments to hedge the risk of falling gold prices and has not made a similar agreement.
While managing the capital, the Company'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 Company's activities.
In order to return capital to shareholders, the Company could maintain or reorganize its capital structure, issue new shares, and sell assets to reduce borrowing.
The Company 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).
Company management should follow the net debt / equity ratio regularly and update it when necessary. The Company does not have an Early Detection of Risk Committee.
