NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Atico Mining Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the Yukon Territories on April 15, 2010 and continued
to British Columbia on October 4, 2011. The Company is engaged in copper-gold mining and related activities
including exploration, development, extraction, and processing in Colombia and the acquisition, exploration and
development of copper and gold projects in Latin America. The Companys common shares are listed on the TSX
Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the symbol ATY. The address of its head office is Suite 501 - 543 Granville
Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
On November 22 2013, the Company acquired 90% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Minera El
Roble S.A. (MINER), the owner of the El Roble mining property (El Roble), an operating copper-gold mine in
Colombia.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), including
International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). These condensed consolidated interim
financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim
financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of
application as our most recent annual financial statements, except as described below, and should be read in
conjunction with the annual audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016.
The following standards and pronouncements have been issued by the IASB and have not yet been adopted by the
Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new and amended standards are expected to have on
its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15) deals with revenue recognition and establishes
principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entitys contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when
a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from
the good or service. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and earlier
application is permitted.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (IFRS 9) addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial
assets and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories:
those measured at fair value and those measured at amortized cost. The determination is made at initial recognition.
The classification depends on the entitys business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual
cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS 39 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value
option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entitys own credit risk is recorded in
other comprehensive income rather than in net earnings, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. IFRS 9 is
effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
IFRS 16 Leases was issued in January 2016 (effective January 1, 2019) and provides a single lessee accounting
model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or
the underlying asset has a low value.

The Company has arrangements for unsecured credit facilities with a number of Colombian banks, including Banco
Davivienda S.A. (Davivienda), Banco de Occidente, Bancolombia, and Banco Popular, of up to Colombian pesos
(COP) $25,580,000,000 (approximately $8,500,000). As at June 30, 2017, the Company owed balances on these
facilities, which carry annual interest based on the LIBOR plus 1.00% to 2.00% (December 31, 2016 - LIBOR plus
1.90% to 2.20%) and terms up to six months from the date of drawn down.
As part of the off-take agreement with the customer, the Company has been provided an inventory facility. Any
amount advanced by the customer carries annual interest based on the London Inter-bank Offered Rates (LIBOR)
plus 4.50% from the date of advance until the date of the payment on provisional invoice has been made.
8. PROVISIONS
A decommissioning and restoration provision has been recognized in respect of the mining operations at the El Roble
mining property, including associated infrastructure and buildings. The estimated undiscounted cash flows required to
satisfy the decommissioning and restoration provision as at June 30, 2017 were $3,150,000 (December 31, 2016 -
$3,150,000), which were adjusted for inflation and uncertainty of the cash flows and then discounted using a risk
adjusted pre-tax discount rate of 9.75% (December 31, 2016 - 9.75%).
In view of the uncertainties concerning environmental reclamation, the ultimate cost of reclamation activities could
differ materially from the estimated amount recorded. The estimate of the Companys decommissioning and
restoration liability relating to the El Roble mining property is subject to change based on amendments to laws and
regulations and as new information regarding the Companys operations becomes available. Future changes, if any,
to the estimated liability as a result of amended requirements, laws, regulations, operating assumptions, estimated
timing and amount of obligations may be significant and would be recognized prospectively as a change in
accounting estimate. Any such change would result in an increase or decrease to the liability and a corresponding
increase or decrease to the mineral property, plant and equipment balance.

The Companys objectives when managing capital are to provide shareholder returns through maximization of the
profitable growth of the business and to maintain a degree of financial flexibility relevant to the underlying operating
and metal price risks while safeguarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The capital of the Company consists of share capital and available credit facilities. The Board of Directors does not
establish a quantitative return on capital criteria for management. The Company manages the capital structure and
makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying
assets. The Company may issue new shares in order to meet its financial obligations. The management of the
Company believes that the capital resources of the Company as at June 30, 2017 are sufficient for its present needs
for at least the next twelve months. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Fair value
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are classified using a
fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value
hierarchy has the following levels:
a) Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
b) Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or
indirectly; and
c) Level 3 - Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial
instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in
measuring fair value.
As at June 30, 2017, the Companys financial instruments measured at fair value are as follows:
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables (excluding trade receivable from provisional sales of
metals concentrate), accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advance on concentrate inventories, and bank credit
facilities approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the
Companys long-term loans payable and finance lease obligations are approximated by their carrying values as their
interest rates are comparable to current interest rates.
Trade receivable from provisional sales of metals concentrate includes provisional pricing, and final price and assay
adjustments. Derivative instruments are forward arrangements that were valued using pricing models, which require a
variety of inputs, such as expected copper prices, gold prices, and foreign exchange rates. The trade receivable from
sales of metals concentrate and derivative instruments are valued using observable market commodity prices and
thereby classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Companys activities expose it to financial risks of varying degrees of significance, which could affect its ability to
achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns. The principal financial risks to which the Company
is exposed are metal price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk. The Board of Directors
has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Companys risk management framework and
reviews the Companys policies on an ongoing basis.
The Company is exposed to metals price risk. Based on concentrate shipped and provisionally invoiced during the six
months ended June 30, 2017, a 1% change in copper and gold prices would result in an increase/decrease of
approximately $188,000 and $138,000 in the Companys pre-tax income or loss on an annualized basis, respectively.
Credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Companys maximum
exposure to credit risk. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk and overall, the Companys
credit risk has not declined significantly from the prior year.
Liquidity risk
The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account
its anticipated cash flows from operations, its holdings of cash, and its committed liabilities. The maturities of the
Companys noncurrent liabilities are disclosed in Notes 8 and 9. All current liabilities are settled within one year.

Currency risk
As at June 30, 2017, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following monetary assets and liabilities:
Colombian
Canadian Peruvian pesos
dollars nuevo soles Euros (000's)
Cash and cash equivalents $ 140,635 $ 85,906 $ - $ 336,788
Receivables 13,234 1,622 - 12,206,240
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (117,472) (221,768) - (16,389,557)
Taxes payable - - - (4,773,357)
Finance lease obligations - - (192,656) -
Long-term loans payable - - (299,067) (1,574,147)
Net exposure 36,397 (134,240) (491,723) (10,194,033)
Based on the above net exposure, as at June 30, 2017, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 1%
depreciation or appreciation of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar, Peruvian nuevo sol, Euro, and Colombian
peso would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $39,000 in the Companys pre-tax income or loss.
As at June 30, 2017, a 10% change in LIBOR rates would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $138,000
in the Companys pre-tax income or loss on an annualized basis based on the debt and credit facilities used.
18. CONTINGENCY
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Companys operating subsidiary, MINER, received notice of claim
from the mining authority in Colombia requesting payment of royalties related to past copper production. The mining
authority is basing its claim on the current mining law, which is subsequent to the prevailing mining law under which
MINER executed the contract regulating its royalty obligations. The current mining law in Colombia explicitly states
that it does not affect contracts executed prior to this law entering into force. Therefore, the Company and its legal
counsels position is that MINER has complied rigorously with royalty payments due and called for under the current
contractual obligations. The claim of approximately $2,000,000 is at an administrative level and the Company will
attempt to favorably resolve the claim at this level, and if necessary, will vigorously defend itself should legal action
be required. As at June 30, 2017, no provisions have been recorded for any potential liability arising from this matter.
While the outcome of this matter is uncertain, based upon the information currently available, the Company does not
believe that this matter in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results
of operations. In the event that managements estimate of the future resolution of this matter changes, the Company
will recognize the effects of the changes in its consolidated financial statements on the date such changes occur.
