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.

Franco-Nevada Precious Metal Stream Arrangement

The Company commenced the recognition of delivery obligations under the terms of the Franco Nevada precious metal stream arrangement in June 2019 following the first sale of copper concentrate. The Company uses refinery-backed credits as the mechanism for satisfying its delivery obligations under the arrangement. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, $121 million was delivered under the stream (six months ended June 30, 2021: $121 million).

In the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company amended its accounting in respect of the delivery of non-financial items (refinery-backed gold and silver credits) into its precious metal stream arrangement, from presenting as a cost of sale to net within sales revenues. The six months ended June 30, 2021 has been revised for this change. Sales revenues and cost of sales have both reduced by $121 million compared to the previous reported values.

1 Foreign exchange movements include realized and unrealized gains and losses, and also include the impact of an agreement reached in respect of the outstanding value-added tax receivable sum and an approach for repayment based on offsets against future corporate income taxes and mineral royalties in Zambia. This agreement has resulted in a gain as a result of the receivable now being an agreed amount, included within Foreign exchange, and a charge representing the expected phasing of that receivable under the agreement, included within Adjustment for expected phasing of Zambian VAT in the Statement of Earnings. See Note 3c.

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.

1 Commodity products are sold under pricing arrangements where final prices are set at a specified future date based on market commodity prices. Changes between the prices recorded upon recognition of revenue and the final price due to fluctuations in commodity market prices give rise to an embedded derivative in the accounts receivable related to the provisionally priced sales contracts.

2 Other derivative instruments related to provisionally priced sales contracts are classified as fair value through profit or loss and recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of cost of sales.

3 Investments held by the Company are held at fair value through other comprehensive income.

4 The fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost is comparable to the carrying value due to the short term to maturities or due to the rates of interest approximating market rates.

Changes between the prices recorded upon recognition of revenue and the final price due to fluctuations in commodity market prices give rise to an embedded derivative in the accounts receivable related to the provisionally priced sales contracts.

  • 2 Other derivative instruments related to provisionally priced sales contracts are classified as fair value through profit or loss and recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of cost of sales.

  • 4 The fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost is comparable to the carrying value due to the short term to maturities or due to the rates of interest approximating market rates.

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, 2021, in the fair value hierarchy:

In February 1996, the Republic of Panama and MPSA, now a 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. The unconstitutionality ruling was published in the Official Gazette on December 22, 2021. The Company understands that the ruling’s effects are nonretrospective, pursuant to the Code of Judicial Proceedings, which means that the enactment of the contract in 1997 and its extension in 2017 granted until the year 2037, remain unaffected. As of the date of this report, the Cobre Panama project continues steady and uninterrupted operations.

The current Government of Panama (“GOP”), 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 GOP announced the appointment of a high-level commission of senior government ministers and officials, chaired by the Minister of Commerce, to discuss the Company’s concession contract. In September 2021, the Ministry of Commerce publicly announced the culmination of the high-level formal discussions on two topics being environmental and labour matters.

During January 2022, the GOP tabled a new proposal, namely that the GOP should receive $375 million in benefits per year from Cobre Panama and that the existing revenue royalty will be replaced by a gross profit royalty. The parties continue to finalize the

detail behind these principles, including the appropriate mechanics that would achieve the desired outcome, the necessary protections to the Company’s business for downside copper price and production scenarios and ensuring that the new contract and legislation are both durable and sustainable.

Once an agreement is concluded and the full contract is documented, it is expected that newly drafted legislation would be put to the National Assembly. The Company welcomes the transparency of the robust ministerial commission process and it is hopeful that this matter can be concluded shortly.

Kansanshi Development Agreement

On May 19, 2020, KMP filed a Request for Arbitration against the GRZ with the International Centre for Settlement of International Disputes (“ICSID”). This arbitration is confidential. KMP’s claims concern breaches of certain contractual provisions of a development agreement between GRZ and KMP (the “Development Agreement”) and international law. The amount in dispute is to be quantified at a later stage, however it is believed to be material. The Tribunal is now fully constituted and has held its first Case Management Conference. KMP submitted its Memorial and corresponding documents on January 25, 2021. GRZ filed its Memorial on Jurisdiction and Counter-Memorial of Defence and Counterclaim on July 9, 2021. The parties have exchanged requests for production of documents. The parties produced documents ordered by the Tribunal on November 1, 2021. KMP submitted its Reply Memorial on February 11, 2022. The hearing in this matter is scheduled for January 2023. Pursuant to the wider reset arrangements recently concluded between FQM and GRZ, the parties have entered into a conditional settlement agreement in respect of this arbitration. The settlement agreement contains several conditions precedent that must be satisfied before the settlement becomes effective. The parties have therefore jointly agreed to a 3 month extension to the deadline for GRZ to submit its Rejoinder (originally June 16, 2022). The intention is that all conditions precedent to the settlement agreement can be satisfied within the extension period.
