Divestment of Non-Core Assets

In February 2024, based on a comprehensive review of the Company’s portfolio of assets, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a portfolio optimization program to divest six non-core assets and a development project. The non-core assets to be divested include CC&V, Musselwhite, Porcupine, Éléonore, Telfer, Akyem, and the Coffee development project in Canada. In February 2024, the Company concluded that these non-core assets and the development project met the accounting requirements to be presented as held for sale in the first quarter of 2024, based on progress made through our active sales program and management’s expectation that the sale is probable and will be completed within 12 months. While the Company remains committed to a plan to sell these assets for a fair price, there is a possibility that the assets held for sale may exceed one year due to events or circumstances beyond the Company's control. Upon meeting the requirements to be presented as held for sale, the six non-core assets and the development project were recorded at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell, and will be periodically valued until sale occurs. As a result, a loss of $115 and $846 was recognized within Loss on assets held for salefor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. For further information, refer to Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Akyem reportable segment to Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. (“Zijin”). The sales are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the terms of the agreements on its consolidated financial statements.
