Ivanhoe Corporation sponsors a defined benefit pension plan and reports under IFRS. On January 1,2023, the company reported
plan assets of $1,400 and a defined benefit obligation of $1,500(all amounts in thousands of dollars). During 2023, the current
service cost was determined to be $126, the discount rate on the DBO and plan assets was 6%, and the actual return on the plan
assets for the year was $77. Ivanhoe made contributions of $129 into the plan at the end of the year and the benefits paid
amounted to $90. The plan was amended effective December 31,2023, with the cost of the past service benefits granted being
$56.
