NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts

Red Chris Mine

Red Chris Development Company Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, owns a 30% beneficial interest in the Red Chris copper/gold mine in northwest British Columbia. The Company and Newcrest formed a joint venture for the operation of Red Chris, with Newcrest Red Chris Mining Limited acting as operator. The property is comprised of the Red Chris Main claim group and the Red Chris South group, consisting of 77 mineral tenures (23,142 hectares). Five of these tenures are mining leases (5,141 hectares). Net smelter royalties between 1.0% to 2.0% are payable on production from the Red Chris mine.

On March 15, 2021 the Company acquired a 30% interest in the GJ Property for a payment of $3,038 to Newcrest Red Chris Mining Limited.

Mount Polley Mine

The Mount Polley copper/gold mine in south-central British Columbia is owned by Mount Polley Mining Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company. The property encompasses 23,369 hectares (including claims under option) consisting of seven mining leases (2,007 hectares) and 50 mineral claims (21,362 hectares). A production royalty is payable on ore mined from Mining Lease 933970 but no production occurred on this tenure in 2019 or 2020. In October 2019, Mount Polley Mining Corporation optioned seven adjacent mineral tenures (3,331 hectares). Upon the exercising of the option on or before December 31, 2022, these claims will be subject to a production royalty payable on ore mined from the claims and milled in the Mount Polley processing plant.

Mount Polley mine operations were suspended in May 2019. The mine restart plan prepared in 2019 is being updated to include revised pit designs, results of recent drilling and current metal prices. The Company is actively seeking to secure financing to fund the restart of the mine. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the mine restart timeline.

Huckleberry Mine

The Huckleberry copper mine in west-central British Columbia is owned by Huckleberry Mines Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company. The property encompasses 23,241 hectares, consisting of two mining leases (2,422 hectares) and 44 mineral claims (20,819 hectares).

Huckleberry mine operations were suspended in August 2016. The mine remains on care and maintenance status until the economics of mining and COVID-19 restrictions improve.

Other Exploration Properties

In July 2021 the Company increased its interest in the Ruddock Creek high grade zinc-lead project to 100% by purchasing the 54.72% interest held by its joint venture partners.

Imperial has a portfolio of 23 greenfield exploration properties in British Columbia. These properties have defined areas of mineralization and clear exploration potential.

Impairment Analysis of Mineral Properties

In accordance with its accounting policies and processes, each asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is evaluated to determine whether there are any indications of impairment or impairment reversal. If any such indications of impairment exist, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is performed.

Based on the Company’s assessment with respect to possible indicators of either impairment or reversal of previous impairments to its mineral properties, including the impact of COVID-19 on the operations and the prevailing market metals prices, the Company concluded that as of September 30, 2021 no impairment or impairment reversal indicators were identified.

8. FUTURE SITE RECLAMATION PROVISIONS

The Company has recognized provisions for future site reclamation at its Red Chris, Mount Polley, Huckleberry, Ruddock Creek and Catface properties. Although the ultimate amounts of the future site reclamation provisions are uncertain, the provision of these obligations is based on information currently available, including closure plans and applicable regulations. Significant closure activities include land rehabilitation, water treatment, demolition of facilities, monitoring and other costs.

The total undiscounted amount of estimated future cash flows required to settle the obligations is $234,328 (December 31, 2020-$234,531). The estimated future cash flows were then adjusted using a 1% (December 31, 2020-1%) rate of inflation. The estimated future cash flows have been discounted using a rate of 2.98% (December 31, 2020-2.24%) except for obligations related to Mount Polley and Huckleberry beyond 2050 that are discounted using a rate of 3.98% (December 31, 2020-3.24%). Obligations in the amount of $113,320 are expected to be settled in the years 2022 through 2050.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, INTEREST RATE AND CREDIT RISK

During the reporting period, the Company examined the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assessed the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and other price risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

Capital Risk Management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity comprised of share capital, contributed surplus, currency translation adjustment and retained earnings.

Credit Risk

The Company’s credit risk is limited to cash, trade and other receivables, and future site reclamation deposits in the ordinary course of business. The credit risk of cash and future site reclamation deposits is mitigated by placing funds in financial institutions with high credit quality.

Liquidity Risk

Cash balances on hand, the projected cash flow from the Red Chris mine are expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s obligations as they come. However, there are inherent risks related to the operation of the Company’s mines which could require additional sources of financing.

Liquidity risk is also impacted by credit risk, although the Company considers this risk low.

Currency Risk

Financial instruments that impact the Company’s net income and comprehensive income due to currency fluctuations include US dollar denominated cash, trade, and other accounts receivable, reclamation deposits, trade and other payables and debt. If the US Dollar had been 10% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income for the Nine months ended September 30, 2021 would have been higher/lower by $914.

Provisionally Priced Revenues

As a result of the provisional pricing terms in its sales contracts, the Company is exposed to commodity price risk until final pricing is determined. Therefore, revenues in subsequent periods will be adjusted for any changes to provisionally priced accounts receivables outstanding at period end. Final pricing may be four to five months after the date of shipment and therefore changes in metal prices may have a material impact on the final revenue.

Provisionally priced revenues is comprised of the following:

17. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is from time to time involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the conduct of its business.

During the third quarter of 2014, a securities class action under section 138 of the Ontario Securities Act was filed against the Company and certain of its directors, officers and others. On September 23, 2020, the Ontario Superior Court denied the Plaintiff leave to proceed with this claim. The Plaintiff has appealed this decision. The Company is of the view that the allegations contained in the claim are without merit and are unlikely to succeed.

During the June 2020 period, a claim from a contractor was filed against the Company and has been submitted to arbitration. The claim is based on a contractor’s self-assessment of additional compensation owed for work previously carried out. The Company has denied that any further amounts are owed and is of the view that the allegations contained in the claim are without merit and are unlikely to succeed. The Company has made a counter claim against the contractor for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentations.

The Company has commenced action against its insurance underwriters to recover business interruption losses incurred at the Mount Polley mine. The insurers have filed a statement of defense and a counterclaim. The Company is of the view that the counterclaim is without merit and unlikely to succeed.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to September 30, 2021 the Company

  • a) Increased its existing Credit Facility from $50,000 to $75,000. The increase of $25,000 in the facility is guaranteed by a related party.

  • b) Received notice that the binding arbitration of the claim from a contractor filed in the June 2020 period was completed. The arbitrator’s partial final award dismissed all of the contractor’s claims and found the contractor liable for numerous misrepresentations and for overbilling. Damages payable by the contractor will be determined in the next phase of arbitration.

19. COMPARATIVE INFORMATION

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation, and those reclassifications are not significant.
