Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We have both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt.
Fixed-rate debt. Our fixed rate debt at December 31, 2025 consisted of a $33.7 million convertible bond that has a fixed interest rate of 8.0% per annum. The convertible bond is accounted for at amortized cost. Any changes in the market interest rates associated with this financial instrument would not impact our net loss, comprehensive loss or future cash flows.
Variable-rate debt. Our variable rate debt at December 31, 2025 was $nil, However, we have an undrawn $200.0 million Bridge Facility at December 31, 2025, related to the Santa Cruz Copper Project, which when drawn will have an interest rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate plus 5.0%.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The majority of our expenditure is incurred in U.S. dollars at our projects located in the United States and are not subject to foreign currency risk. Outside of the United States, we are subject to foreign currency risk when we undertake transactions in foreign currencies, particularly certain operating expenditures incurred in Colombia and Canada. As the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and our foreign currencies fluctuate, we experience foreign exchange gains and losses.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s Colombian Pesos and Canadian dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities at the respective statement of financial position dates are as follows:
Colombian Peso Balance (in 000’s USD Equivalent) Canadian Dollar Balance (in 000’s USD Equivalent)
