Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of Integra Resources Corp.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Integra Resources Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
3
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Jenny Lee.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 Statement of Compliance

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
2.2 Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Integra Resources Holdings Canada Inc., Integra Resources Holdings U.S. Inc., and DeLamar Mining Company. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
(b) Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual accounting basis, except for cash flow information.
(c) Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates and has been determined for each entity within the Company. The functional currency of the Canadian parent company and its Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”). The functional currency of the Company’s two US subsidiaries is the US dollar (“USD”). The presentation currency of the Company was the Canadian dollar up to September 30, 2021. The Company changed its presentation currency to the US dollar as of December 31, 2021 (see Note 2.2 (d)).
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are recorded initially at the exchange rates prevailing at the transactions’ dates. At each subsequent reporting period:
-
Foreign currency monetary items are reported at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position;
-
Non-monetary items carried at historical rates are reported at the closing rate at transactions’ dates;
-
Non-monetary items carried at fair value are reported at the rates that existed when the fair values were determined.
When a foreign currency transaction involves an advance payment or receipt, the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income is the date on which an entity initially recognized the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in net income (loss), with one exception. Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are recognized in a separate component of equity, foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognized in net income (loss) as part of the gain or loss on sale.

-
(c) Foreign Currency Translation (continued)
Translation of subsidiary results into the presentation currency
The operating results and statements of financial position of the parent’s company and its Canadian subsidiary which have the Canadian dollar as a functional currency have been translated into US dollars as follows:
-
i) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position;
-
ii) Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates, unless there is significant fluctuation in the exchange rates. In that case revenue and expenses are translated at the exchange rate at the date of transaction, except depreciation, depletion, and amortization, which are translated at the exchange rates applicable to the related assets;
iii) All resulting translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
When a foreign operation is disposed of, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated in the separate component of equity relating to that foreign operation shall be recognized in profit or loss when the gain or loss on disposal is recognized.
(d) Presentation Currency Change
The Company has changed its presentation currency as of December 31, 2021 from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar, to better reflect the Company’s business activities and most of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held in its US subsidiaries hence denominated in US dollars. No changes were made to the Company’s functional currencies, as per the management’s assessment based on the IAS 21 recommendations, which will be performed on a quarterly basis.
The presentation currency change is regulated by IAS 8. Translation of the consolidated financial statements has been performed retroactively. The Company is not required to re-file previously filed financial statements or to revise its previous tax returns. The comparative periods in these consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 have been restated from CAD to USD (see Note 21).
In order to satisfy the requirements of IAS 21 - The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates with respect to the change in presentation currency, these consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 have been translated from CAD to USD using the following procedures:
-
Assets and liabilities for each consolidated statement of financial position presented (including comparatives) were translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position.
-
Income and expenses for each statement presenting profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) (including comparatives) were translated at the average exchange rates.

(d) Presentation Currency Change (continued)
-
Consolidated statements of changes in equity: a) Share capital amounts were translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position, except for common shares issuance in USD dollars. All resulting differences were reported in the “presentation currency translation difference” line in the statements of changes in equity; b) Reserve items were translated at the average exchange rates; and c) Deficit amounts were translated at the average rates, and all resulting translation differences were reported in the other comprehensive income (loss) line.
-
Consolidated statements of cash flows were translated at the average exchange rates.
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash or have maturity dates at the date of purchase of three months or less.
Restricted cash is cash held in a bank account that is not available for the Company’s general use.
(f) Exploration and Evaluation Properties, and Mineral Properties
Exploration and Evaluation Properties
Exploration expenditures are the costs incurred in the initial search for mineral deposits with economic potential or in the process of obtaining more information about existing mineral deposits. Exploration expenditures typically include costs associated with prospecting, sampling, mapping, drilling and other work involved in searching for minerals.
Evaluation expenditures are the costs incurred to establish the technical and commercial viability of developing mineral deposits identified through exploration activities or by acquisition. Evaluation expenditures include the cost of:
-
(i) establishing the volume and grade of deposits through drilling of core samples, trenching and sampling activities in an ore body that is classified as either a mineral resource or a proven and probable reserve;
-
(ii) determining the optimal methods of extraction and metallurgical and treatment processes;
-
(iii) studies related to surveying, transportation, and infrastructure requirements;
-
(iv) permitting activities; and
-
(v) economic evaluations to determine whether development of the mineralized material is commercially justified, including scoping, prefeasibility and final feasibility studies.

(f) Exploration and Evaluation Properties, and Mineral Properties (continued)
Exploration and Evaluation Properties (continued)
License costs paid in connection with a right to explore in an existing exploration area are expensed as incurred.
Once the legal right to explore has been acquired, exploration and evaluation expenditure is charged to profit or loss as incurred, unless it is concluded that a future economic benefit is more likely than not to be realized.
In evaluating if expenditures meet the criteria to be capitalized, several different sources of information are utilized. The information that is used to determine the probability of future benefits depends on the extent of exploration and evaluation that has been performed.
Exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred on a license where a NI 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“43-101”) compliant resource has not yet been established are expensed as incurred until sufficient evaluation has occurred in order to establish a 43-101 compliant resource and on completion of a pre-feasibility study. Costs expensed during this phase are included in “exploration and evaluation expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Costs of acquiring exploration and evaluation assets are capitalized. They are subsequently measured at
cost less accumulated impairment.
Once development is sanctioned, exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment and transferred from “Exploration and Evaluation Assets” to “Mineral Properties and Deferred Development Costs” or “Property, Plant & Equipment” depending on the nature of the asset. No amortization is charged during the exploration and evaluation phase.
Mineral Properties
Mine development costs are capitalized if management determines that there is sufficient evidence to support probability of generating positive economic returns in the future. A mineral resource is considered to have economic potential when the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extraction of the mineral resource is demonstrable considering long-term metal prices.
Prior to capitalizing such costs, management determines if there is a probable future benefit that will contribute to future cash inflows, the Company can obtain the benefit and control access to it, and if the transaction or event giving rise to the benefit has already occurred.
If the Company does not have sufficient evidence to support the probability of generating positive economic returns in the future, mine development costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Amortization and Depletion
Exploration and evaluation assets and Mineral properties are not subject to depletion or amortization until a commercial production starts – they are tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Disposal
At the disposal, gains or losses of an item within Exploration and Evaluation Properties, or Mineral Properties are calculated as the difference between the proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount. Those gains or losses are recognized net within other income in profit or loss.
(g) Plant, Property and Equipment
Equipment items are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The cost of an item includes the purchase price and directly attributable costs to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The Company’s capitalization threshold is $2,500. Where an equipment item comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of equipment.
Equipment items are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives at the following rates:
| Computers and software | 30% |
|---|---|
| Office furniture and equipment | 20% |
| Vehicles | 30% |
| Buildings and office improvements | 4% |
| Exploration building and water wells | 10% |
| Roads | 8% |
| Exploration equipment | 20% |
| Water treatment equipment | 20% |
| Permanent reclamation equipment | 30% |
| Development equipment | 8% |
Land is not depreciated. When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

(h) Leased Assets
Lessees are required to initially recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The right-to-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, the lessee’s initial direct cost (e.g., commissions) and an estimate of restoration, removal and dismantling costs. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term, using the implicit interest rate (if available) or incremental borrowing rate for the present value determination. Subsequently, lessees accrete the lease liability to reflect interest and reduce the liability to reflect lease payments made, and the related right-of-use asset is depreciated in accordance with the depreciation requirements of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment testing under IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. Short-term leases and leases with low value underlying assets are recognized on a straight-line basis in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
(i) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The Company’s mineral properties and equipment are reviewed for any indication of impairment at each financial reporting date or at any time if any indications of impairment surface. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount is undertaken, being the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the asset’s value in use. If the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, then an impairment loss is recognized in net income or loss for the period, and the carrying value of the asset on the consolidated statements of financial position is reduced to its recoverable amount. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Fair value of mineral properties is generally determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset, including any expansion prospects, discounted by an appropriate pre-tax discount rate to arrive at a net present value.
Value in use is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and from its ultimate disposal. Value in use is determined by applying assumptions specific to the Company’s continued use which includes future development. As such, these assumptions may differ from those used in calculating fair value.
In testing for indicators of impairment and performing impairment calculations, assets are grouped in cashgenerating units, which are identified as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. The estimates of future discounted cash flows are subject to risks and uncertainties including estimated production, grades, recoveries, future metals prices, discount rates, exchange rates and operating costs.
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that have suffered an impairment are evaluated for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed. When a reversal of a previous impairment is recorded, the reversal amount is adjusted for depreciation that would have been recorded had the impairment not been recorded.

(j) Share Capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extend that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares and share warrants are classified as equity instruments.
If the Company issues units as part of financing, consisting of both common shares and common share purchase warrants, the fair value of the warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and the remaining value is assigned to the common shares.
Equity-settled share-based compensation arrangements as per the Company’s equity incentive plan (which includes stock options, restricted share units, and deferred share units) are measured at fair value at the date of grant and recorded within equity. The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock options based on the fair value of the options on the date of grant which is determined using the BlackScholes option pricing method. For equity settled restricted and deferred share units, compensation expense is recognized based on the quoted market value of the shares. The fair value at grant date of all share-based compensation is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to shareholders’ equity. The amount recognized as an expense is reversed to reflect stock options, restricted share units and deferred share units forfeited, so no expense will remain in the financial records in relation to the forfeited agreements.
(k) Reclamation and Remediation Provisions
The Company's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Company recognizes the cost of future reclamation and remediation as a liability when: the Company has a 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 reasonable estimate of the obligation can be made. The liability is measured initially by discounting expected costs to the net present value using pre-tax rates and risk assumptions specific to the liability. The resulting cost is capitalized to the carrying value of the related assets, or expensed to exploration, evaluation and development expenses where there is no carrying value of the related assets.
In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for accretion of the discount with the offsetting amount charged to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as finance cost. Any change in the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows is adjusted to the carrying value of the liability, with the offsetting amount recorded as an adjustment to the reclamation and remediation provision cost included in mineral properties or exploration, evaluation and development expenses. Any amount charged to the carrying value of assets is depreciated over the remaining life of the relevant assets.
It is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost of remediation and reclamation could change in the future due to uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental disturbance, the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities, changes in remediation technology and changes in discount rates. The Company reviews its reclamation and remediation provision at least annually and as evidence becomes available indicating that its remediation and reclamation liabilities may have changed. Any such changes in costs could materially impact the future amounts recorded as reclamation and remediation obligations.

(l) Income Taxes
Income tax is recognized in net income or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized directly in equity. Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (temporary differences), and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in net income in the period in which the change is substantively enacted. The amount of deferred tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is, in management’s estimation, probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(m) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Stock options and share purchase warrants are typically dilutive when the Company has net income for the period and the average market price of the common shares during the period exceeds the exercise price of the stock option and/or share purchase warrant.
The Company follows the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. That method assumes that outstanding stock options and warrants with an average exercise price below the market price, are exercised and the assumed proceeds are used to repurchase common shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the period. Under this method, diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings for the period by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
(n) Contingencies
Due to the size, complexity, and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time. In case that management’s estimate of the future resolution of these events changes, the Company will recognize the effects of those changes in the consolidated financial statements on the date such changes occur.

(o) Financial Instruments
The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. The classification of investments in debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). Investments in debt instruments are measured at amortized cost if the business model is to hold the instrument for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows are solely principal and interest. If the business model is not to hold the debt instrument, it is classified as FVTPL.
Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, the Company can elect (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as FVTOCI on the acquisition day.
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at either (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income, or (iii) at fair value through profit or loss.
• Amortized cost
Financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost are those assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are SPPI. Financial assets classified at amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method.
• Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)
Financial assets classified and measured at FVTOCI are those assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are SPPI. This classification includes certain equity instruments for which an entity is allowed to make an irrevocable election to classify the equity instruments, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) to present subsequent changes in FVTOCI.
- Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
Financial assets classified and measured at FVTPL are those assets that do not meet the criteria to be classified at amortized cost or at FVTOCI. This category includes debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics are not SPPI or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell the financial asset.

2.2 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
- (o) Financial Instruments (continued)
The expected credit loss impairment model is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost where any expected future credit losses are provided for, irrespective of whether a loss event has occurred as at the reporting date. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease is related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.
Loan receivable
This loan is regulated by the IFRS 9 – Financial instruments. The impairment test is based on the “expected credit loss” (“ECL”) model. ECL is based on the evaluation of the range of possible outcomes, incorporating the time value of money (discount rate, based on the effective interest rate). It represents a probabilityweighted estimate of the difference over the remaining life of the financial instrument between the present value of contractual cash flows and the present value of cash flows lenders expect to receive. It should be assessed for 12-month period (if there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition) or for the whole term (if there is significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition). “12-month ECL” is the expected credit loss resulting from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. It is not the expected cash shortfalls over the 12-month period, but the entire credit loss on an asset weighted by the probability that the loss will occur in the next 12-month period.
Financial liabilities are generally classified and measured at fair value at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Equipment Financing Liability
The equipment financing liability is initially measured at the present value of the payments to be made over the financing term, using the implicit interest rate (if available) or incremental borrowing rate for the present value determination. Subsequently, equipment financing liability is accreted to reflect interest and the liability is reduced to reflect financing payments.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Financial liabilities are derecognized when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

(p) Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue from the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To recognize revenue, the Company should identify the contract with customers, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to each obligation, and recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to a customer (which is when the customer obtains control of that good or service).
2.3 Adoption of New Standards
New Accounting Pronouncements
Certain pronouncements were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are mandatory for accounting periods on or after January 1, 2021. Integra adopted the following amendments in 2021.
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase II – IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments Disclosures, IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, and IFRS 16, Leases – Amendments: In August 2020, IASB issued the second phase of this reform, addressing the effects of the reform on a company’s financial statements that arise when an interest rate benchmark used to calculate interest on loans, leases, and hedge contracts is replaced with an alternative benchmark rate. It provides guidance on how to treat financial asserts and financial liabilities where the basis for determining the contractual cash flows changes due to the reform. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. No reinstatements of prior periods are required, except there could be some potential reinstatements of hedge relationships that were discontinued due to changes directly required by the reform.
Amendments to IAS 16 PP&E – Proceeds before intendent use: In May 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to update IAS 16 PP&E. The Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) completed its endorsement process and incorporated the amendments into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting in September 2020. In the process of making an item of PP&E available for its intended use, a company may produce and sell items – e.g. minerals extracted in the process of constructing an underground mine or oil and gas from testing wells before starting production. These amendments prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be available for use. Instead, the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, would be recognized in profit or loss. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Integra has early adopted these amendments, as permitted.
The Company assessed that these amendments have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
2.4 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on historical experience and other factors considered to be reasonable and are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively. The Company has identified the following areas where estimates, assumptions and judgments are made and where actual results may differ from the estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results of the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position reported in future periods.
Significant Accounting Estimates
- (a) Mineral Resource and Assessment of Impairment
The accuracy of resource estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and assumptions made and judgments used in the geological and engineering interpretation and may be subject to revision based on various factors. Changes in resource estimates may impact the carrying value of mineral property, plant and equipment, the calculation of amortization and depletion, the capitalization of mine development costs, and the timing of cash flows related to reclamation and remediation provision.
The Company reviews each asset or cash generating unit at each reporting date to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any such indication exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed, and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
The determination of fair value less costs to sell and value in use requires management to make estimates and assumptions about expected production and sales volumes, metal prices, ore tonnage and grades, recoveries, operating costs, reclamation and remediation costs, future capital expenditures and appropriate discount rates for future cash flows. The estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, and as such there is the possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further impaired or the impairment charge reduced with the impact recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
(b) Share-Based Payments
The determination of the fair value of stock options or warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate.

2.4 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)
Significant Accounting Estimates (continued)
(c) Current and Deferred Taxes
Tax regulations are very complex and changing regularly. As a result, the Company is required to make judgments about the tax applications, the timing of temporary difference reversals, and the estimated realization of tax assets. Also, all tax returns are subject to further government’s reviews, with the potential reassessments. All those facts can impact current and deferred tax provisions, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and operation results.
(d) Reclamation and Remediation Provision
The Company assesses its reclamation and remediation provisions annually or when new material information is available. The amounts recorded for reclamation and remediation provisions are based on estimates prepared by third party environmental specialists, if available, or by persons within the Company who have the relevant skills and experience. These estimates are based on remediation activities required by environmental laws, the expected timing of cash flows, and the pre-tax risk-free interest rates on which the estimated cash flows have been discounted. These estimates also include an assumption of the rate at which costs may inflate in future periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The estimates are related to the nature, cost and timing of the work to be completed, and may change with future changes to costs, environmental laws and regulations and remediation practices.
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Equipment items are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The cost of an item includes the purchase price and directly attributable costs to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Equipment items are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values, and depreciation methods at the end of each financial year, and when circumstances indicate that such reviews should be made. Changes to estimated useful lives, residual values or depreciation methods resulting from such reviews are accounted for prospectively.
Significant Accounting Judgments
(a) Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Management has applied judgment in the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, considering all available information, and concluded that the going concern assumption is appropriate for a period of at least twelve months following the end of the reporting period.
Given the judgment involved, actual results may lead to a materially different outcome.

(b) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgment to determine whether future economic benefits are likely, from either future exploitation or sale, or whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.
(c) Assessment of Lease
The Company assessed whether a contract is or contains a lease. This assessment involves the exercise of judgment about whether it depends on a specific asset, whether the company obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the use of that asset, and whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
- (d) Presentation Currency Change
Effective December 31, 2021, the Company changed its presentation currency from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar, to better reflect the Company’s business activities. This change has been applied retrospectively (see Note 21).
3. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s capital management goals are to: ensure there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; maintain sufficient funding to support the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties and exploration and evaluation activities; maintain investors’ and market confidence; and provide returns and benefits to shareholders and other stakeholders.
The Company’s working capital as of December 31, 2021 was $9,387,223 (December 31, 2020 - $24,057,845; January 1, 2020 - $21,240,822). The Company’s capital structure is adjusted based on the funds available to the Company such that it may continue exploration and development of its properties for the mining of minerals that are economically recoverable. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria, but rather relies on the expertise of management and other professionals to sustain future development of the business.
The Company’s properties are in the exploration and development stage and, as a result, the Company currently has no source of operating cash flow. The Company intends to raise such funds as and when required to complete its projects. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on reasonable terms. The only sources of future funds presently available to the Company are through the exercise of options, the sale of equity capital of the Company or the sale by the Company of an interest in any of its properties in whole or in part. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing, if needed, on terms satisfactory to the Company.

3. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (continued)
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2021.
4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
All financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus or minus transaction costs (in case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss). Subsequent measurements are designed either at amortized costs or fair value (gains and losses are either recognized in profit or loss (fair value through profit or loss, FVTPL), or recognized in other comprehensive income (fair value through other comprehensive income, FVTOCI)).
Fair Value
IFRS requires disclosures about the inputs to fair value measurements, including their classification within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company’s financial instruments are accounted for as follows under IFRS 9:
| FINANCIAL ASSETS: | CLASSIFICATION |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | FVTPL |
| Receivables (excluding tax receivables) | Amortized cost, less any impairment |
| Loan receivable | Amortized cost, less any impairment |
| Restricted cash,long-term | Amortized cost,less anyimpairment |
| FINANCIAL LIABILITIES: | CLASSIFICATION |
|---|---|
| Trade and other payables | Other financial liabilities, measured at amortized cost |
| Due to related parties | Other financial liabilities, measured at amortized cost |
| Lease liability | Other financial liabilities, measured at amortized cost |
| Equipment financing liability | Other financial liabilities, measured at amortized cost |
The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments classified as FVTPL as at December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and January 1, 2020:
| Level | December 31, | December 31, | January 1, |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | 2020 |
||
| FINANCIAL ASSETS: | ||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 1 | $ 14,337,078 | $ 29,061,142 | $ 24,117,144 |

Integra Resources Corp Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in US Dollars)
4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Fair value estimates of all financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments. These estimates are subject to and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
The Company’s lease liability and equipment financing liability are recorded at amortized costs using effective interest rate method. Lease liability and equipment financing liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the payments to be made over the lease (financing) term, using the implicit interest rate (if available) or incremental borrowing rate for the present value determination. For restricted cash, lease liabilities and equipment financing liabilities, the carrying values approximate their fair values at the period end because the interest rates used to discount host contracts approximate market interest rates. The carrying values of other financial assets, trade and other payables and due to related parties approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these items.
A summary of the Company's risk exposures as it relates to financial instruments are reflected below:
i) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter-party’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The credit risk is attributable to various financial instruments, as noted below. The credit risk is limited to the carrying value amount carried on the consolidated statements of financial position.
-
a. Cash and cash equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents are held with major Canadian and U.S. banks and therefore the risk of loss is minimal.
-
b. Receivables (excluding tax receivables) – The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk as its receivables are insignificant.
-
c. Loan receivable – An impairment test based on the expected loss model is being performed quarterly, and management assessed that the credit risk related to the loan receivable is low (see Note 6).
ii) Liquidity Risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities as they become due. The Company intends on securing further financing to ensure that the obligations are properly discharged.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
iii) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or stock market movements (price risk).
a. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. There is no interest rate risk related to the Company’s financing liability. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash and cash equivalents held with a chartered Canadian and US financial institutions. The Company considers this risk to be immaterial.
b. Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations given that most of its expenditures are incurred in the US. To manage this risk and mitigate its exposure to exchange rates fluctuation, the Company holds most of its cash and short-term investments in USD (see Note 5).
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a net foreign exchange loss of $455,046. Based on the Company’s net foreign currency exposure at December 31, 2021, depreciation or appreciation of US dollar against the Canadian dollar would have resulted in the following increase or decrease in the Company’s net loss:
| At December 31, 2021 | Possible exposure* | Impact on net loss | Impact on net loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| US dollar | +/-5% | $ 657,548 |
$ (657,548) |
*Possible exposure is based on management’s best estimate of the reasonably possible fluctuations of foreign exchange rates in the next twelve months.
5. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The balance at December 31, 2021 consists of $3,294,174 in cash and $11,042,904 held in short-term investments (December 31, 2020 – $27,653,951 in cash and $1,407,191 in short-term investments; January 1, 2020 - $17,362,582 in cash and $6,754,562 in short-term investments) on deposit with major Canadian and US banks. Short-term investments are redeemable on a monthly basis, with the annual interest rates ranging between 0.40% (investments in US$) and 0.25% (investments in C$). As of December 31, 2021, the Company held approximately 98% (December 31, 2020 – 93%; January 1, 2020 – 39%) of its cash and short-term investments in US dollar.

At December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and January 1, 2020, the Company anticipates full recovery or full utilization of these amounts and therefore no impairment has been recorded against these receivables, prepaid expenses, and long-term deposits. The Company holds no collateral for any receivable amounts outstanding as at December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and January 1, 2020.
Loan receivable
In August 2020, the Company extended a $140,000 loan to a local entrepreneur to complete the construction of a restaurant in Jordan Valley. The loan was subsequently increased from $140,000 to $175,000 in early 2021. The loan bears a 6.0% interest rate per annum for a five-year term and the monthly loan instalment is $3,383. The loan is fully secured by the premises and all property affixed or attached to or incorporated upon the premises.
The first payment was originally due on January 31, 2021 but was subsequently deferred to April 30, 2021. A total of three repayments were made in 2021. This restaurant is now serving the local community and the Company’s employees and contractors.
A summary of the changes in the loan receivable for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

9. LEASES - RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES (continued)
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease terms, using the effective interest method for the present value determination. When the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company applied an estimated incremental borrowing rate. The applied interest rates in these leases ranged between 6.34% and 9.24%. Lease liability calculations were based on the assumption that no purchase option will be exercised at the end of the lease terms.
Carrying lease liabilities amounts and the interest expense changes are as follows:
| Current lease | Long-term lease | Total lease | Interest | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| liability | liability | liabilities | expenses | |

10. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
The DeLamar Project consists of the neighbouring DeLamar and Florida Mountain Gold and Silver Deposits, located in the heart of the historic Owyhee County mining district in south western Idaho.
DeLamar Gold and Silver Deposit
On November 3, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of interest in Kinross DeLamar Mining Company, a whollyowned subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation (“Kinross”), which owned the DeLamar Deposit for $5.9 million (“mm”) in cash and the issuance of 2,218,395 common shares of the Company that is equal to 9.9% of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company upon closing of the October 2017 $21.3mm financing. The 2,218,395 common shares issued were valued at $3,693,269 on the closing date. The Company paid $2mm cash at closing of the acquisition transaction and issued a $3.5mm promissory note, which was originally due in May 2019. In February 2019, the maturity date of the promissory note was extended to November 3, 2019, and the promissory note was paid in full on October 31, 2019. That payment represents payment-in-full for all amounts owing under the promissory note agreement and all obligations under the agreement with Kinross USA Inc. have been fully performed. As a result, Kinross USA Inc. has released its security on 25% of the shares of DeLamar Mining Company.

10. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)
A portion of the DeLamar Project was subject to a 2.5% NSR payable to Kinross. In December 2019, Kinross Gold USA Inc. informed DeLamar that its affiliate Kinross has entered a Royal Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 1, 2019 whereby Kinross agreed to sell, assign, transfer, and convey to Maverix Metals (Nevada) Inc. and Maverix Metals Inc. all of Kinross’ or its applicable subsidiaries’ rights, titles, and interests in a portfolio of royalties, including the net smelter returns royalty governed by the Royalty Agreement. The Maverix royalty applies to more than 90% of the current DeLamar area resources, but this royalty will be reduced to 1.0% upon Maverix receiving total royalty payments of $7.9mm (C$10mm).
Florida Mountain Gold and Silver Deposit
Integra executed in December 2017 Purchase and Sale Agreements with two private entities (Empire and Banner) to acquire patented claims in the past-producing Florida Mountain Gold and Silver Deposit (“Florida Mountain”) for a total consideration of $2mm in cash. The Company completed the purchase of the Florida Mountain Empire claims in January 2018 and paid $1.6mm at closing. The Company completed the acquisition of the Florida Mountain Banner claims in the second quarter of 2018 and paid $0.4mm at closing.
War Eagle Gold-Silver Deposit
In December 2018, the Company has entered into an option agreement with Nevada Select Royalty Inc. (“Nevada Select”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ely Gold Royalties Inc. (“Ely Gold”) to acquire Nevada Select’s interest in a State of Idaho Mineral Lease (the “State Lease”) encompassing the War Eagle gold-silver Deposit (“War Eagle”) situated in the DeLamar District, southwestern Idaho. Upon exercise of the option, Nevada Select will transfer its right, title and interest in the State Lease, subject to a 1.0% net smelter royalty on future production from the deposit payable to Ely Gold, to DeLamar Mining. Under the option agreement, Integra will pay Nevada Select $200,000 over a period of four years in annual payments, as per the following schedule:
-
$20,000 cash at execution of the option agreement (paid in December 2018);
-
$20,000 cash on the six-month anniversary (paid in June 2019);
-
$30,000 cash on the one-year anniversary (paid in December 2019);
-
$30,000 cash on the second anniversary (paid in December 2020);
-
$30,000 cash on the third anniversary (paid in December 2021); and
-
$70,000 cash on the fourth anniversary.
Integra has the right to accelerate the payments and exercise of the option at anytime prior to the fourth-year anniversary. The State Lease is subject to an underlying 5.0% gross royalty payable to the State of Idaho.
On June 21, 2021, Gold Royalty Corp. (“GRC”) and Ely Gold announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which GRC will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Ely Gold by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The transaction was subsequently completed on August 23, 2021, with no impact on the option agreement the Company signed with Nevada Select.
In the War Eagle Mountain District, Integra had previously acquired the Carton Claim group comprising of six patented mining claims covering 45 acres and located 750m north of the State Lease.
BlackSheep District
The Company staked a number of the BlackSheep claims in 2018. The staking was completed in early 2019.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Net Smelter Return
A portion of the DeLamar Project is subject to a 2.5% NSR payable to Maverix Metals Inc. (“Maverix”). The NSR will be reduced to 1.0% once Maverix has received a total cumulative royalty payment of C$10 million (US$7.9 million).
Please see Note 10 for additional details.
Advance Minimum Royalties, Land Access Lease Payments, and Annual Claim Filings
The Company is required to make property rent payments related to its mining lease agreements with landholders and the Idaho Department of Lands (“IDL”), in the form of advance minimum royalties (“AMR”). There are multiple third-party landholders, and the royalty amounts due to each of them over the life of the Project varies with each property.
The Company’s AMR obligation was $64,950 for 2021 (December 31, 2020 – $54,950), fully paid in the current
year.
The Company’s obligation related to land and road access lease payments, option payments and IDL rent payments was $329,331 for 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $195,193), fully paid in the current year.

15. RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION LIABILITIES
The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and the environment, and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. The site has been reclaimed by the former owner, Kinross, and the Company’s environmental liabilities consist mostly of water treatment, general site maintenance and environmental monitoring costs.
The reclamation and remediation obligation represents the present value of the water treatment and environmental monitoring activities expected to be completed over the next 70 years. The cost projection has been prepared by an independent third party with expertise in mining site reclamation. Water treatment costs could be reduced in the event that mining at DeLamar resumes in the future. The Company’s cost estimates do not currently assume any future mining activities. Assumptions based on the current economic environment have been made, which management believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability.
These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions. However, actual water treatment and environmental monitoring costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for the required activities that will reflect market conditions at the relevant time.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reviewed and revised some of its December 31, 2019 assumptions and estimates. The discount rate assumption changed significantly in 2020 as it is based on the US Treasury rate. As a result, the discount rate decreased from 2.39% to 1.65% in the year ended December 31, 2020, which increased the present value of the reclamation liability. The inflation rates have been revised to 1.50% for 2021 and 2.0% for the following years. The company applied 0% market risk premium for 2020, 2.5% for 2021 and 2022, and 5% for the following years. The Company maintained the same market risk premium for the year ended December 31, 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reviewed and revised some of its December 31, 2020 assumptions and estimates. The discount rate assumption changed in 2021 as it is based on the US Treasury rate. As a result, the discount rate increased from 1.65% to 1.90% in the current period, which decreased the present value of the reclamation liability. The inflation rates have been revised to 0% for 2022, as short-term inflation had already been factored in the 2022 cost estimates, and 2.3% for the following years. The Company applied 0% market risk premium for 2022, 2.5% for 2023 and 2024, and 5% for the following years.
Changes resulting from the reclamation assumptions revision are recognized as a change in the carrying amount of the reclamation liability and the related asset retirement cost capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset (see Note 10).

The cash collateral requirement decreased from 50% to 0% and the cash collateral was returned to the Company in 2020.
