The financial information presented in the MD&A is consistent with the information that is contained in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include, where necessary, amounts based on our estimates and judgement. ​ In order to discharge our responsibility for the integrity of the financial statements, the Company maintains a system of Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures. These controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s assets are safeguarded, transactions are executed and recorded in accordance with our authorization, proper records are maintained and relevant and reliable financial information is produced.

The external auditors have full and unrestricted access to the Audit Committee to discuss the scope of their audits, and the adequacy of the system of internal controls, and to review financial reporting issues. ​ The consolidated financial statements have been audited by KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ /s/ Jorge Ganoza Durant /s /Luis Ganoza Durant President and Chief Executive Officer Chief Financial Officer ​ Vancouver, Canada March 06, 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
​ Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and Board of Directors Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 6, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
​ ​ ​ Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Assessment of the recoverable amount of the Lindero cash-generating unit As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying value of the Company’s mineral properties, plant, and equipment was $1,574,212 thousand as of December 31, 2023. As discussed in Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company determined that there were indicators of impairment at the Lindero cash-generating unit (CGU) due to an increase in capital costs for the heap leach expansion project and an increase in operating costs as a result of macro-economic factors. The Company estimated the recoverable amount of the Lindero CGU, determined on a fair value less cost of disposal basis, and concluded no impairment charge was required.   We identified the assessment of the recoverable amount of the Lindero CGU as a critical audit matter. A high degree of auditor judgment was required to evaluate the inputs used to estimate the recoverable amount. Significant assumptions used in the determination of the recoverable amount included the quantities of mineral reserves and mineral resources that form the basis for the life of mine plan, metal prices, expected future production costs and capital expenditures, and the discount rate. Changes in any of these assumptions could have had a significant effect on the determination of the estimated recoverable amount. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company's process to determine the recoverable amount of the Lindero CGU. This included controls over the Company’s development of the significant assumptions used to estimate the recoverable amount of the Lindero CGU. We assessed the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the Company’s personnel who determined the quantities of mineral reserves and mineral resources that form the basis for the life of mine plan for the Lindero CGU. We compared the amount of mineral reserves and mineral resources in the discounted cash flow model to the life of mine plan and to the mineral reserve and mineral resource information. We compared the Company’s historical mineral reserve and resource information, life of mine plan and operating results to actual results to assess the accuracy of the Company’s forecasting process. We compared expected future production costs and capital expenditures in the discounted cash flow model to the life of mine plan and to historical expenditures. We involved valuations professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in (1) assessing the metal prices by comparing to third party data; and (2) evaluating the discount rate by comparing it to an independently calculated range of discount rates using internal and external independent sources. ​ /s/ KPMG LLP ​ Chartered Professional Accountants ​ We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017. ​ Vancouver, Canada March 6, 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
