SILVERCREST METALS INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED - EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF UNITED STATES DOLLARS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 |
1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS
SilverCrest Metals Inc. (the 'Company' or 'SilverCrest') is a Canadian precious metals exploration and development company headquartered in Vancouver, BC. The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The common shares of the Company trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol 'SIL' and on the NYSE-American under the symbol 'SILV'. The head office and principal address of the Company is 501-570 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3P1. The address of the Company's registered and records office is 19th Floor, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3H4.
The Company's primary development asset is the Las Chispas Project, located in Sonora, Mexico.
The Company's business could be adversely affected by the effects of the ongoing outbreak of respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus ('COVID-19'). Since early March 2020, significant measures have been implemented in Canada, Mexico, and the rest of the world by governmental authorities in response to COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on the ability of third parties to meet their obligations with the Company, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In particular, the continued spread of the COVID-19 globally could materially and adversely impact the Company's business including without limitation, employee health, limitations on travel, the availability of industry experts and personnel, restrictions on planned drill and exploration programs, restrictions on the construction of the Company's process plant, and other factors that depend on future developments beyond the Company's control. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company's development and exploration activities, including the impact on the construction schedule of its process plant, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The recent increase in COVID-19 cases and variants globally may impact the Company's operations due to additional government mandated shutdowns or closures.
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of Compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which include information necessary or useful to understanding the Company's business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company's significant accounting policies and use of judgments and estimates were presented in notes 2 and 3, respectively, of those consolidated financial statements and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company adopted certain new accounting standards and amendments (see section, below).
Basis of preparation and measurement
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
These consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 10, 2021.
Basis of consolidation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. The Company consolidates subsidiaries where the Company can exercise control. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to variable returns from involvement with an investee and can affect the returns through power over the investee. Control is normally achieved through ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the voting power. Control can also be achieved through power over more than half of the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other investors or through the exercise of de facto control. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition of control up to the effective date of loss of control. Intercompany assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign currency translation - presentation currency
During 2020, the Company changed its presentation currency to US dollars ('US$') from Canadian dollars ('C$'). The Company has determined that this change in presentation currency better reflects the Company's current activities, increases the comparability to peer companies, and enhances the relevance of the financial statements to users. The Company applied the change in presentation currency retrospectively and restated the comparative financial information as if the presentation currency had always been US$. The Company has restated the amounts previously reported in C$ to US$ as detailed below:

Adoption of new accounting standards and amendments
The Company adopted Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (the 'Phase 2 Amendments') effective on January 1, 2021. Interest rate benchmark reform ('Reform') refers to a global reform of interest rate benchmarks, which includes the replacement of some interbank offered rates with alternative benchmark rates.
The Phase 2 Amendments provide a practical expedient requiring the effective interest rate to be adjusted when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities that relate directly to the Reform rather than applying modification accounting which might have resulted in a gain or loss. In addition, the Phase 2 Amendments require disclosures to assist users in understanding the effect of the Reform on the Company's financial instruments and risk management strategy. The debt as defined in Note 4 is indexed to London interbank offered rates ('LIBOR') that have not yet transitioned to alternative benchmark rates at the end of the current reporting period.

Effective December 29, 2020, the Company determined that the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the Las Chispas Project had been demonstrated based on the substantial amount of work that had been completed on the Las Chispas Feasibility Study, at that time. The Company received the approval of the Board of Directors to enter into the EPC agreement to commence the construction of the process plant. Accordingly, the Company transferred the capitalized costs of the Las Chispas Project from exploration and evaluation assets to mineral property and began to capitalize development costs.
On December 31, 2020, the Company's subsidiary entered into the EPC agreement with Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc. and its affiliate ('Ausenco') to construct a 1,250 tonne per day process plant at Las Chispas. The EPC agreement has a fixed price of $76,455 and at June 30, 2021, the Company had incurred $47,846 in milestone payments (December 31, 2020 - $23,151) which was recorded as construction in progress.
At June 30, 2021, the Company had committed to incur an additional $33,517 (note 8), including $28,609 to Ausenco, of costs related to construction in progress.
4.DEBT
On December 31, 2020, the Company's subsidiary entered into a credit agreement for a secured project financing facility (the 'facility') for the Las Chispas Project of up to $120,000. The Company drew $30,000 on December 31, 2020, as required. The remaining $90,000 is available until August 31, 2022, if the Company:
●Draws an additional $30,000 for a total of $60,000 by August 31, 2021;
●Draws an additional $30,000 for a total of $90,000 by December 31, 2021; and

4.DEBT (continued)
All amounts borrowed under the facility are due on December 31, 2024. The Company may voluntarily prepay amounts borrowed under the facility but would incur fees of 4.0%, 3.0%, or 1.5% if prepaid before December 31, 2021, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Amounts borrowed under the facility incur interest at a rate of 6.95% per annum plus the greater of either 3-month LIBOR (or agreed upon equivalent) or 1.5%. Interest is payable quarterly, and the Company has the option to defer interest payments until after the availability period which, subject to the draw-down schedule noted above, is December 31, 2020 to August 31, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not exercise its option to defer interest payments and made interest payments of $1,275.
In August 2020, the IASB issued Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2, which amends IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, and addresses how to account for changes in contractual cash flows that may result due to the transition from LIBOR to alternative interest rate benchmarks. At June 30, 2021, the Company and the lender had not agreed upon an equivalent benchmark to 3-month LIBOR. However, once a new benchmark is agreed, the Company may be required to re-estimate the contractual cash flows based on a new effective interest rate which could result in an adjustment to the carrying value of the debt.
All debts under the facility are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries and secured by the assets of the Company and pledges of the securities of the Company's subsidiaries. In connection with the facility, the Company must also maintain a certain working capital ratio and adhere to other non-financial covenants. As at June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
The debt has been recorded at amortized cost, net of transaction costs, and will be accreted to face value over the life of the debt using the effective interest rate method. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, interest cost recorded on the facility of $1,377 had been capitalized to mineral property and construction in progress.
The Company paid a 3% arrangement fee of $3,600 on December 31, 2020 of which $900 was recorded as a transaction cost and $2,700 was recorded as a prepaid expense, in proportion to the amount of debt drawn on the facility. The Company also incurred $531 in related transaction costs of which $133 was recorded as a transaction cost and $398 was recorded as a prepaid expense (on the same pro rata basis).

Deferred share units
During 2019, the Board of Directors approved a cash-settled Deferred Share Unit ('DSU') plan. Each DSU entitles the holder to receive cash equal to the current market value of the equivalent number of common shares of the Company. DSUs vest immediately and become payable upon the retirement of the holder. The share-based compensation expense related to the DSUs is calculated using the fair value method based on the market price of the Company's shares at the end of each reporting period. As DSUs are cash settled, the Company records a corresponding liability in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company adopted a new Share Unit Plan (see below) which replaces the DSU plan. Existing DSUs issued prior to this change will remain in effect but no further DSUs may be awarded under the DSU plan.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued a total of 57,000 DSUs to directors of the Company. Whereas, during 2020, the Company issued 6,000 DSUs to a director upon their appointment to the Board.
As of June 30, 2021, the market value of the Company's common shares was C$10.86 (December 31, 2020 - C$14.19). Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $407 (December 31, 2020 - $176), including an expense of $496 from DSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2021 offset by a recovery of $89 from DSUs previously granted. At June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an accrued liability of $793 (December 31, 2020 - $373) for DSUs.
The following table summarizes the change in the accrued DSU liability:

Share Unit Plan
On June 15, 2021, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of a new Equity Share Unit Plan for the Company (the 'SU Plan') pursuant to which the Company may grant restricted share units ('RSUs'), performance share units ('PSUs') and DSUs. The SU Plan provides for up to 1.5% of the outstanding common shares of the Company from time to time to be issuable to settle share units granted under the SU Plan. With the implementation of the SU Plan, the Company's former cash-settled DSU plan is being phased out and no new awards of DSUs will be granted under that plan.

8.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company is exposed to various financial instrument risks and assesses the impact and likelihood of this exposure. These risks include liquidity, foreign currency, and credit and interest rate risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested in business accounts with quality financial institutions and are available on demand to fund the Company's operations.
The Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments in the normal course of business. The following table summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company's financial liabilities, operating and capital commitments, shown in contractual undiscounted cash flows, at June 30, 2021:

8.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
Foreign currency risk
The Company operates in Canada and Mexico and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The operating results and the financial position of the Company are reported in US$. The functional currency of the parent entity is C$ and therefore the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk from financial instruments denominated in currencies other than C$. The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries, effective December 29, 2020, is US$ and therefore the Company's subsidiaries are exposed to foreign currency risk from financial instruments denominated in currencies other than US$.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities, expressed in US$:
US Dollar | Mexican Peso | Total | |||||||

Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 185,417 | $ | 51 | $ | 185,468 | |||

Net financial assets | $ | 185,453 | $ | 13,066 | $ | 198,519 |
The Company is primarily exposed to fluctuations in the value of C$ against US$ and US$ against Mexican pesos ('MX$'). With all other variables held constant, a 10% change in C$ against US$ and US$ against MX$ would result in the following impact on the Company's net loss for the year:
June 30, 2021 | |||
C$/US$ exchange rate - increase / decrease 10% | $ | 18,545 | |
US$/MX$ exchange rate - increase / decrease 10% | $ | 1,307 |
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. At June 30, 2021, the amounts receivable balance of $106 (December 31, 2020 - $342) consisted primarily of $68 (December 31, 2020 - $123) due from related parties (note 5) and interest receivable of $37 (December 31, 2020 - $218) on short-term interest bearing instruments. The Company has not recognized any expected credit losses with respect to interest receivable as the amounts are due from high-credit quality financial institutions and the risk of default is considered negligible. The carrying amount of financial assets, as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position, represents the Company's maximum credit exposure.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from the interest rate impact on its cash and cash equivalents and debt. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held or invested in highly liquid accounts with both floating and fixed rates of interest, in order to achieve a satisfactory return for shareholders.
At June 30, 2021, the weighted average interest rate earned on the Company's cash and cash equivalents was 0.41%. With all other variables unchanged, a one percentage point change in interest rates would result in approximately a $3,056 decrease ($779 increase) in the Company's net and comprehensive loss for the period.
The Company's debt has an interest rate of 6.95% per annum plus the greater of either 3-month LIBOR or 1.5%. At June 30, 2021, 3-month LIBOR was 0.15% and as a result, a one percentage point change in interest rates would have no impact on the Company's net and comprehensive loss for the period, as the debt's interest rate would be unchanged. Due to upcoming LIBOR reforms, the interest rate of the Company's debt may change upon the transition to the successor interest rate benchmark to 3-month LIBOR.

8.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
Financial instruments carrying value and fair value
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and debt.
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. The level of measurement for each financial instrument is determined by the lowest level of significant inputs.
The carrying value of amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities (except as noted) approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. In relation to the Company's DSU plan (note 6), the Company recorded the fair value of DSUs in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities (related to DSUs) are measured using level 1 inputs. The carrying values of lease liabilities and debt approximate their fair values as a result of relatively unchanged interest rates since inception of the lease liabilities and debt.
The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value, by level, of the Company's financial instruments. It does not include fair value information for financial instruments not measured at fair value if the carrying amount reasonably approximates the fair value.
