Reporting Entity
Amerigo Resources Ltd. ("Amerigo") is a company domiciled in Canada. Its shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange and traded in the United States on the OTCQX.
Amerigo owns a 100% interest in Minera Valle Central S.A. ("MVC"), a producer of copper concentrates. MVC, located in Chile, has a long-term contract with the El Teniente Division ("DET") of Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile ("Codelco") to process fresh and historic tailings from the El Teniente mine (Note 3).
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ("Q1-2025") include the accounts of Amerigo and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company").
-
Basis of Presentation
Statement of compliance
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34 ("IAS 34"), Interim Financial Reporting.
These interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS Accounting Standards statements. They should be read in conjunction with Amerigo's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. However, selected notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to understanding the changes in Amerigo's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements.
These interim financial statements were authorised for issuance by Amerigo's board of directors on May 5, 2025.
Material accounting policies
These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as Amerigo's most recent annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with them.
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective.
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (IFRS 18), which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company-specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management-defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation, which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how they
(tabular information expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)
are classified. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required, and early application is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect of this new standard on our financial statements.
On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to respond to recent questions arising in practice, and to include new requirements not only for financial institutions but also for corporate entities. These amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion; add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some financial instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets); and update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. We are currently assessing the impact of these amendments on our consolidated financial statements.
As of March 31, 2025, there are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations with future effective dates that are expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Agreements with Codelco's El Teniente Division
MVC has a contract with DET ("the DET Agreement") to process the fresh tailings from El Teniente and the tailings from the Cauquenes and Colihues historic tailings deposits. The DET Agreement has a term to the earlier of 2033 or deposit depletion for Cauquenes, the earlier of 2037 or deposit depletion for Colihues and 2037 for fresh tailings.
The DET Agreement establishes a series of royalties payable by MVC to DET, calculated using the average London Metal Exchange copper price for the month of concentrate production.
The DET Agreement currently operates as a tolling contract under which the title of the copper concentrates produced by MVC remains with DET. MVC earns tolling revenue, calculated as the gross value of copper tolled on behalf of DET at applicable market prices net of notional items. Notional items include treatment and refining charges, DET copper royalties and transportation costs.
Notional royalties for copper concentrates produced from fresh tailings are determined through a sliding scale formula tied to copper prices ranging from $1.95/lb (13.5%) to $4.80/lb (28.4%).
Notional royalties for copper concentrates produced from Cauquenes are determined using a sliding scale, with copper prices ranging from $1.95/lb (16%) to $5.50/lb (39%).
Notional royalties for copper concentrates produced from Colihues are determined through a sliding scale for copper prices ranging from $0.80/lb (3%) to $4.27/lb (30%).
MVC pays a sliding scale global molybdenum royalty for molybdenum prices between $6.00/lb (3%) and $40.00/lb (19.7%).
The DET Agreement anticipates that in the event monthly average prices fall below or rise above certain ranges and projections which indicate the permanence of such prices over time, the parties will meet to review cost and notional
(tabular information expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)
royalty/royalty structures to maintain the DET Agreement's viability and the equilibrium of the benefits between the parties.
The DET Agreement contained three early exit options exercisable by DET during 2021 (not exercised), 2024 (not exercised) and every three years after that, only in the event of changes unforeseen at the time the Agreement was entered into. Amerigo has judged the probabilities of DET exercising early exit options as remote.
On March 31, 2025, the payable and/or accrual for DET notional copper royalties and DET molybdenum royalties was $17.2 million (December 31, 2024: $22.6 million).
- Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, Amerigo makes judgements when applying the Company's accounting policies and makes estimates and assumptions concerning future events, which may vary from actual results. Sources of judgements include assessing for impairment indicators of property, plant, and equipment. Sources of estimation uncertainty include the determination of the useful lives of long-lived assets and the valuation of other assets and liabilities, including trade receivables and the related party derivative liability.
The Company's critical accounting estimates and judgements applied in preparing these interim financial statements are consistent with those reported in our 2024 annual consolidated financial statements.

On June 30, 2021, MVC entered into a finance agreement (the "Finance Agreement") with a syndicate of two banks domiciled in Chile for a term loan (the "Term Loan") of $35.0 million and a working capital line of credit (the "Line of Credit") of up to $15.0 million.
(tabular information expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)
The Term Loan has a 5-year term to June 30, 2026, with ten semi-annual installments of $3.5 million each, commencing on December 31, 2021, and accrued interest. MVC may make early repayments without penalty in accordance with the provisions of the Finance Agreement. Interest on the Term Loan included 25% of the facility subject to a variable rate based on the US Libor six-month rate plus a margin of 3.90% until June 30, 2023, when the US Libor was discontinued. The variable interest rate from that date forward is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 4.33%. The remaining 75% of the interest on the Term Loan is synthetically fixed through interest rate swaps ("IRS"), accounted for at fair value through profit or loss, at a rate of 5.48% per annum. As of March 31, 2025, the SOFR rate was 4.28%. The IRS has a term to June 30, 2026. On March 31, 2025, the balance of the Term Loan, net of transaction costs, was $10.0 million, and the IRS was in an asset position of $0.2 million.
The Line of Credit can be drawn in multiple disbursements until December 31, 2025. The repayment terms will vary depending on the date of disbursement, with a maximum repayment term of up to two years counted from the disbursement date to the term date of June 30, 2026. The interest rate will be based on the SOFR rate plus a margin to be defined on each disbursement date. As of March 31, 2025, MVC had drawn $2.0 million from the Line of Credit and repaid $1.0 million. The amount drawn bears an interest rate of 9.2% (SOFR of 5.45% plus a margin of 3.75%) and will be repaid in four payments of $0.5 million each plus interest due on April 10, 2024 (paid), October 10, 2024 (paid), April 10, 2025 (paid subsequent to March 31, 2025), and October 10, 2025. $0.5 million related to the April 2025 payment was held as restricted cash on Amerigo's statement of financial position.
MVC is required to have a debt service reserve account funded monthly with 1/6 of the next debt payment (principal and interest) so that semi-annual debt payments are fully funded a month before the payment date. A second reserve account of $3.5 million was released in January 2025. On March 31, 2025, MVC held the required reserve funds of
$2.6 million, shown as restricted cash on Amerigo's statement of financial position.
MVC is required to meet two bank covenants semi-annually on June 30 and December 31: debt/EBITDA ratio (requirement =< 3) and net worth (requirement => $100.0 million), which were met on December 31, 2024.
MVC has provided security on the Finance Agreement in the form of a charge on all MVC's assets.

Related Party Transactions
Derivative liability
Amerigo holds its interest in MVC through Amerigo International Holdings Corp. ("Amerigo International"), wholly-owned by Amerigo except for certain outstanding Class A shares which are owned indirectly by Amerigo's founders (including Amerigo's current Executive Chairman). The Class A shares were issued in 2003 as part of a tax-efficient structure for payments granted as consideration to the founders transferring to Amerigo their option to purchase MVC.
The Class A shareholders are not entitled to any participation in the profits of Amerigo International, except for monthly payments, calculated as follows:
$0.01 for each pound of copper equivalent produced from DET tailings by MVC or any successor entity to MVC if the price of copper is under $0.80/lb or
$0.015 for each pound of copper equivalent produced from DET tailings by MVC or any successor entity to MVC if the price of copper is $0.80/lb or more.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, the payments constitute a financial liability that must be measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recorded in profit for the period.
In Q1-2025, the derivative liability decreased by $0.1 million (Q1-2024: $0.3 million), with $0.2 million paid or accrued to the Class A shareholder (Q1-2024: $0.3 million) and a change in derivative fair value expense of $0.1 million (Q1-2024: $nil).
On March 31, 2025, the derivative totalled $7.6 million (December 31, 2024: $7.7 million), with a current portion of $1.0 million (December 31, 2024: $1.1 million) and a long-term portion of $6.6 million (December 31, 2024:
$6.7 million).
The actual monthly payments outstanding on March 31, 2025 were $0.1 million (December 31, 2024: $0.1 million).

Fair Value Measurement
Certain of Amerigo's financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value hierarchy has three levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, with Level 1 inputs having the highest priority. The levels and valuation techniques used to value Amerigo's financial assets and liabilities are the following:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that Amerigo can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability directly or indirectly. Copper and molybdenum trade and settlement receivables are FVTPL with changes in the fair value of the receivables, which are measured at FVTPL as underlying commodity market prices vary. The fair values of these receivables are adjusted each reporting period by reference to forward market prices, and changes in fair value are recorded as a separate component of revenue. Amerigo has also included the IRS in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because these instruments are determined based on the observed values for underlying interest rates.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that are not based on observable market data. Amerigo includes the related party derivative liability in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because it is not tradeable or associated with observable price transparency. Management assesses the fair value of this derivative every quarter based on management's best estimates, which are unobservable inputs. Fair value is calculated by applying the discounted cash flow approach on a valuation model that considers the present value of the net cash flows expected to be paid to a related party (Note 8(a)).

Commitments
MVC has a long-term agreement for the supply of 100% of MVC's power requirements to December 31, 2037. The agreement establishes minimum stand-by charges based on peak hour power supply calculations, estimated to range from $1.0 million to $1.3 million monthly.
The DET Agreement has a Closure Plan clause requiring MVC and DET to jointly assess the revision of the closure plan for Cauquenes and compare it to the current DET plan. In the case of any variation in the interests of DET due to MVC's activities in the Cauquenes deposit, the parties will jointly evaluate the form of implementation and financing of or compensation for such variation. Until the estimation of the new closure plan is available and the parties agree on the terms of compensation resulting from the revised plan, it is Amerigo's view there is no obligation to record a provision because the amount, if any, is not possible to determine.
