The Company has operating mines located in Zambia, Panama, Finland, Turkey, Spain, Australia and Mauritania, and a development project in Zambia. The Company is progressing the Taca Taca copper-gold-molybdenum project in Argentina and is exploring the Haquira copper deposit in Peru.

The Company’s shares are publicly listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange and has Depository Receipts listed on the Lusaka Stock Exchange.

The Company is registered and domiciled in Canada, and its registered office is Suite 2600, Three Bentall Centre, P.O. Box 49314, 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V7X 1L3.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board have been condensed or omitted. The accounting policies applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of, and disclosed in, the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making the assessment that the Company is a going concern, management has taken into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from June 30, 2021.

Following the declaration on March 11, 2020, of a pandemic by the World Health Organisation, the restrictions imposed by governments around the world has had a significant impact on the global economy, which have impacted the Company. Expected credit losses on financial assets remain immaterial at June 30, 2021. Commodity price risk continues to be managed through the Company’s hedging program (see note 19).

The Company has not experienced any significant disruption to supply chains and product shipments since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is working to manage the logistical challenges presented by the closure of trade borders, using alternative routes where feasible. Border restrictions, if ongoing, could result in supply chain delays.

At June 30, 2021, the Company had no committed undrawn senior debt facilities and $1,792 million of net unrestricted cash (inclusive of overdrafts), as well as future cash flows in order to meet all current obligations as they become due. The Company was in compliance with all existing facility covenants as at June 30, 2021.

1 The impact of depreciation of the Zambian kwacha against the U.S. dollar in the six-months period ended June 30, 2021 on the Company’s Zambian operations VAT receivable of $6 million is equal to the unrealized foreign exchange loss on the total kwacha receivable and is included within other expense (note 17) in the Statement of Earnings (Loss). It does not include foreign exchange losses realized on receipts.

2 The adjustment for expected phasing for non-current portion represents the application of a Zambian risk-free rate to the expected phasing of VAT receipts twelve months or more from the reporting date. In assessing the expected phasing adjustment, management considers publicly available information with respect to the fiscal situation in Zambia as well as the level of refunds and offsets provided historically. This adjustment for expected phasing, an expense of $14 million, has been recognized in the six month period ended June 30, 2021, (June 30, 2020: credit of $59 million). Discussions with the relevant government authorities are ongoing and management continues to consider that the outstanding VAT claims are fully recoverable, however final resolution may vary from the amounts recorded.

On November 8, 2017, the Company completed the purchase of a 50% interest in KPMC from LS-Nikko Copper Inc. KPMC is jointly owned and controlled with Korea Resources Corporation (“KORES”) and holds a 20% interest in Cobre Panama. The purchase consideration of $664 million comprised the acquisition consideration of $635 million and the reimbursement of cash advances of $29 million with $179 million paid on closing. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, no consideration was paid (year ended December 31, 2020: $100 million). The remaining consideration is payable in November 2021.

A $582 million investment in the joint venture representing the discounted consideration value and the Company’s proportionate share of the profit or loss in KPMC to date is recognized. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the profit attributable to KPMC was $78 million (June 30, 2020: $72 million loss). The profit or loss in KPMC relates to the 20% equity accounted share of loss reported by MPSA, a subsidiary of the Company. The material assets and liabilities of KPMC are an investment in MPSA of $347 million, shareholder loans receivable from the Company (note 9b) and shareholder loans payable of $1,315 (note 19) million due to the Company and its joint venture partner KORES.

18. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company’s reportable operating segments are individual mine development projects or mine operations. Each of the mines and development projects report information separately to the CEO, the chief operating decision maker.

The Corporate & other segment is responsible for the evaluation and acquisition of new mineral properties, regulatory reporting, treasury and finance and corporate administration. Included in the Corporate & other segment is the Company’s metal marketing division which purchases and sells third party material, and the exploration projects.

The Company’s operations are subject to seasonal aspects, in particular the rain season in Zambia. The rain season in Zambia generally starts in November and continues through April, with the heaviest rainfall normally experienced in the months of January, February and March. As a result of the rain season, mine pit access and the ability to mine ore is lower in the first quarter of the year than other quarters and the cost of mining is higher.

Fair Values

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

• 1 Futures for copper, nickel, gold and zinc were purchased on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) and London Bullion Market and have direct quoted prices, therefore these contracts are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

• 2 The Company’s derivative instruments are valued by the Company’s brokers using pricing models based on active market prices. All forward swap contracts held by the Company are OTC and therefore the valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates using inputs which can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative assets are included within other assets on the balance sheet and derivative liabilities are included within provisions and other liabilities on the balance sheet.

• 3 The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on the balance sheet at December 31, 2020, in the fair value hierarchy:

20. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

Capital Commitments

The Company has committed to $117 million (December 31, 2020: $50 million) in capital expenditures.

Other Commitments & Contingencies

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time. The Company is routinely subject to audit by tax authorities in the countries in which it operates and has received a number of tax assessments in various locations, including Zambia, which are currently at various stages of progress with the relevant authorities. The outcome of these audits and assessments are uncertain however the Company is confident of its position on the various matters under review.

Panama Constitutional Proceedings

In February 1996, the Republic of Panama and MPSA, now a Panamanian subsidiary of the Company, entered into a mining concession contract in respect of the Cobre Panama project (“Concession Contract”).

On February 26, 1997, Contract-Law No. 9 (“Law 9”) was passed by the Panamanian National Assembly. Law 9 granted the status of national law to the Concession Contract, establishing a statutory legal and fiscal regime for the development of the Cobre Panama project. On December 30, 2016, the Government of Panama signed and issued Resolution No. 128 by which it extended the Concession Contract held by MPSA for a second 20-year term commencing March 1, 2017 up to February 28, 2037. The Company remains eligible for consideration of a third 20-year term of the Concession Contract commencing March 1, 2037.

In September 2018, the Company became aware of a ruling of the Supreme Court of Panama (“Supreme Court”) in relation to the constitutionality of Law 9. The Company understands that the ruling of the Supreme Court with respect to the constitutionality of Law 9 relates to the enactment of Law 9 and does not affect the legality of the Concession Contract itself, which remains in effect, and allows continuation of the development and operation of the Cobre Panama project by MPSA.

In respect of the Supreme Court ruling on Law 9, the Company notes the following:

• The Supreme Court decision was in respect of ongoing legal filings made since 2009 with regard to specific environmental petitions.

• In reviewing the process of approval of Law 9 of 1997, the Supreme Court found that the National Assembly had failed to consider whether Law 9 complied with applicable legislation at the time, namely Cabinet Decree 267 of 1969.

• The applicable Cabinet Decree of 1969, which was repealed in 1997 by Law 9, required the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (“MICI”) to issue a request for proposals before awarding the Law 9 mining concession.

• The Attorney General of Panama provided two formal opinions favourable to the constitutionality of Law 9 as required in this type of proceedings by Panamanian law.

• The Supreme Court ruling did not make a declaration as to the annulment of the MPSA Concession Contract.

In 2018 MPSA submitted filings to the Supreme Court for ruling, prior to the ruling in relation to the constitutionality of Law 9 taking effect. On September 26, 2018, the Government of Panama issued a news release affirming support for Cobre Panama. The release confirmed that MICI considers that the MPSA mining concession contract, and its extension, remains in effect in all its parts. In July 2021 the Supreme Court responded to the requests for clarifications submitted by MPSA, ruling them inadmissible. This means that the original ruling that Law 9 is unconstitutional has been upheld, and the ruling will come into effect after it has been published in the Official Gazette in Panama. No reference is made in the Supreme Court ruling to the Concession Contract. The effect of the ruling is that Law 9 is no longer valid. The Company is advised that the Concession Contract remains valid and is not affected by the ruling.

The current Government of Panama, inaugurated on July 1, 2019, established a multidisciplinary commission including the Minister of Commerce and Industries (mining regulator), Minister of Environment, and Minister of Employment to discuss the Law 9 matter and seek resolution. In July 2021, the Government of Panama announced the appointment of a high-level commission of senior government ministers and officials seeking to renegotiate the Concession Contract. MPSA has released a statement acknowledging the government’s announcement and noting that the negotiations must be based on respect for legal security and the rule of law for both the country and the company. The Company retains the support of the Government of Panama, the Chamber of Commerce and Industries of Panama, the Panamanian Mining Chamber and other Panamanian business and industry chambers. The Company welcomes the appointment of the high-level commission and the opportunity for all stakeholders to resolve this matter in the near-medium term.

Kansanshi Minority Partner

In October 2016, the Company, through its subsidiary Kansanshi Holdings Limited, received a Notice of Arbitration from ZCCM International Holdings PLC (“ZCCM”) under the Kansanshi Mining PLC (“KMP”) Shareholders Agreement. ZCCM is a 20% shareholder in KMP and filed the Notice of Arbitration against Kansanshi Holdings Limited (“KHL”), the 80% shareholder, and against KMP. The Company also received a Statement of Claim filed in the Lusaka High Court naming additional defendants, including the Company, and certain directors and an executive of the named corporate defendants. Aside from the parties, the allegations made in the Notice of Arbitration and the High Court for Zambia were the same. The Company is firmly of the view that the allegations are in their nature inflammatory, vexatious and untrue.

The dispute was stated as a request for a derivative action, requiring ZCCM to obtain permission to proceed in each forum of the Arbitration and the Lusaka High Court. The dispute arose from facts originating in 2007, and concerned the rate of interest paid on select deposits by KMP with the Company. The deposits were primarily retained for planned investment by KMP in Zambia. In particular, KMP deposits were used to fund a major investment program at Kansanshi, including the successful construction and commissioning of the Kansanshi smelter and expansion of the processing plant and mining operations. The entirety of the deposit sums has been paid down from the Company to KMP, with interest. The interest was based on an assessment of an arm’s length fair market rate, which is supported by independent third-party analysis. ZCCM disputed that interest rate paid to KMP on the deposits was sufficient.

In July 2019, the Arbitral Tribunal issued a final award in favour of KMP (the “Arbitral Award”). The parties have reached an agreement on costs, in total exceeding US$1 million payable by ZCCM, bringing this particular matter to an end.

In parallel, several preliminary procedural applications to dismiss the High Court Action were lodged on behalf of the Company, and other defendants, in the Lusaka High Court. By a decision dated January 25, 2018, the Lusaka High Court used its discretion to rectify ZCCM’s procedural errors. The Court granted leave to the Company, FQM Finance, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the individual defendants to appeal against this decision and the litigants have agreed to a stay pending the appeal. The appeal hearing took place on November 21, 2018, with submissions made by all parties. The Court of Appeal delivered judgment on January 11, 2019, dismissing the appeal. An appeal to the Supreme Court of Zambia was heard on April 24, 2019, and has been dismissed. The High Court was scheduled to resume hearing two further procedural applications, including whether ZCCM is allowed to maintain the derivative action. However, before these hearings could take place the defendants brought an application requesting dismissal of the case on grounds of abuse of process/ res judicata, on the basis that the action cannot be allowed to continue for risk of producing conflicting judgment from the London arbitration, which has already adjudicated the facts of this particular complaint. ZCCM objected to the defendants’ application. ZCCM also tried to bring an application to set aside the registration of the Arbitral Award in Zambia. The defendants’ resisted this application. Both applications had an oral hearing in October 2019.

However, after the October 2019 hearing, ZCCM pursued a challenge to the registration of the Arbitral Award on grounds that it was not enforceable because it had complied with the costs payment order of the Arbitral Award. KMP opposed ZCCM’s challenge and made submissions to the Registrar that an Arbitration Award is eligible for registration despite compliance with costs orders. On February 13, 2020, the Registrar accepted KMP’s position and dismissed ZCCM’s challenge to the registration of the Arbitration Award. Accordingly, the Lusaka High Court proceeded to rule on the abuse of process application. By way of a ruling dated March 23, 2020, the Lusaka High Court agreed with KMP’s application that the process, if it were to be allowed to continue before it, would risk conflicting judgements and would be res judicata. Accordingly, ZCCM’s derivative action case was dismissed, with costs awarded to KMP against ZCCM. On April 6, 2020, ZCCM sought permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal on grounds that the High Court judge erred in fact and in law. KMP objects to the appeal, and the matter remains pending. The Court of Appeal has delivered its judgment on January 13, 2021, dismissing all grounds of appeal with the exception of one ground raised by the ZCCM and awarded costs to the Defendants. With regards to the remaining ground, the Court of Appeal held that the determination of this ground of appeal would be inconsequential as the matter should have been determined earlier than now and is therefore now moot. On January 27, 2021, ZCCM filed a notice of motion for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court. ZCCM filed skeleton arguments in respect of the motion for leave to appeal to Supreme Court in reply to those of KMP on April 23, 2021, and the remaining defendants on April 26, 2021. A hearing on the matter was held on April 29, 2021, and judgement was reserved.

In addition, on November 11, 2019, Kansanshi Holding Ltd (KHL) filed a UNCITRAL Rules based Request for Arbitration against ZCCM and KMP (as Nominal Respondent) in connection with a Cash Management Services Agreement dated August 19, 2019. KHL seeks a declaration that the CMSA is an arm’s length contract. The CMSA provides for cash management services whereby KMP would deposit with the Group’s treasury subsidiary certain of its cash balances for management by FQML’s treasury function. All cash managed and deposited is callable on demand by KMP and attracts commercial interest rates. Under the shareholder agreement between the Group and ZCCM, related party transactions are required to be on arms’ length basis. This arbitration was held virtually in a hearing between October 19 to 23, 2020. The parties are now awaiting the Final Award in the arbitration. The Partial Final Award was issued in the first quarter of 2021. The arbitral panel held a Case Management Conference on 25 June 2021, with a focus on the legal issues expressly identified in the Partial Final Award for resolution and relief in a Final Award. Both ZCCM and KHL are scheduled to make submissions on such legal issues in the course of July 2021.
