7. MINERAL PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT


In 2003 the Company acquired a 100% interest in certain properties within the Salamandra group of concessions which currently comprises approximately 28,800 hectares, in consideration for the payment of CDN$11,154,000 in acquisition costs and assigned expenses.  Production from the acquired properties is subject to a sliding scale net smelter royalty on the first 2,000,000 ounces of gold production from certain concessions. The royalty commences at 1% when the price of gold is less than $300 per ounce, rising to 5% when the price of gold exceeds $400 per ounce.


Included within the Salamandra group of concessions is the Mulatos mine. In June 2004, the Company completed a feasibility study on a portion of the Mulatos property known as the Estrella Pit Development. The Mulatos mine began operations in 2005.

8. LONG-TERM INVESTMENT

 

Effective June 15, 2006, the Company sold its La Fortuna Property to Morgain Minerals Inc. (“Morgain”) for consideration of five million common shares of Morgain and a 1% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) on future production from the La Fortuna Property. No gain or loss was recognized on the sale. The share consideration received was valued at $1,100,000 and classified as a non-current asset on the Company’s balance sheet.


9.  CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS


The Company enters into leasing arrangements with financing companies for mining equipment. As at June 30, 2006, the Company had entered into eight leases. The maximum term of each lease is five years, with payments totaling $164,000 per month over the term of the leases. The obligations under capital lease bear interest at LIBOR plus 4.1%. Minimum payments are $1,775,000 in 2006 and $1,968,000 per annum for 2007 through 2010. The amount of interest expense related to the obligations under capital lease included in the determination of earnings for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 was $196,000 (2005 - $nil). The Company has the right to re-pay the outstanding balance of the leases at any time.


10. DEBT


Convertible Debenture

Effective February 2, 2005, the Company issued a CDN$50 million aggregate principal amount 5.5% convertible unsecured subordinated debenture maturing on February 15, 2010.

Interest on the convertible debenture is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year at an annual rate of 5.5%. Under the terms of the trust indenture, the debenture was convertible into common shares at a rate of 18.86792 common shares for each CDN$100 principal amount of debenture on maturity.


On May 30, 2006, the Company received approval from a majority of the holders of the debenture to amend the terms of the trust indenture to allow for early conversion of the outstanding debenture.


Effective June 22, 2006, debentures representing CDN$44,615,000 or approximately 89% of the outstanding pre-conversion balance were converted into common shares at an incentive conversion ratio of 20.5907 common shares for each CDN$100 principal of debenture resulting in the issuance of 9,186,541 common shares. Accrued interest related to the converted debentures was settled through the issuance of common shares at 18.86792 common shares for each CDN$100 of accrued interest resulting in the issuance of 159,824 common shares.



7





On June 30, 2006, debentures representing CDN$3,829,000 or approximately 8% of the outstanding pre-conversion balance were converted into common shares at an incentive conversion ratio of 20.3824 common shares for each CDN$100 principal of debenture resulting in the issuance of 780,441 common shares. In addition, accrued interest related to the converted debentures was settled through the issuance of common shares at 18.86792 common shares resulting in the issuance of 14,696 common shares.


The fair market value of the additional share consideration issued as a result of the induced conversion ratio was allocated to the liability and equity elements of the convertible debenture based on the change in relative fair values between the date of issuance and the date of the conversion. Non-cash debt settlement expense of $414,000 was charged to earnings for the period, and $5,990,000 was charged to retained earnings.


At June 30, 2006, in accordance with the terms of the trust indenture, a trust account held CDN$83,000 plus accumulated interest (total $76,000) for payment of interest related to the outstanding debentures from February 16, 2006 to February 15, 2007.


Bank loan

On July 21, 2005, the Company obtained a bank line of credit consisting of a $10 million unsecured one year extendible revolving facility and a non-margin hedging line. Interest is payable at a rate of 2.75% above applicable LIBOR on the drawn portion of the facility, and 0.75% on the un-drawn portion. The initial term is for one year, and may be extended at the discretion of the lender for two additional one-year terms.  On February 7, 2006, the bank agreed to increase the amount available to the Company under the line of credit to $16 million over the life of the facility. As at June 30, 2006 the Company was advanced $3 million related to this facility. On July 21, 2006 the line of credit was extended at the Company’s request in the amount of $10 million for an additional one-year term.


11. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS


The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, on a discounted cash flow basis, if a reasonable estimate can be made. The liability accretes to its full value over time through charges to operations. In addition, the fair value is added to the carrying amount of the Company’s mineral property, plant and equipment, and is amortized on a units-of-production basis over the life of the mine.


Continuity of asset retirement obligations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006:

13.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


The Company has a stock option plan, originally approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on April 17, 2003, to allow the Company to grant incentive stock options to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. At the Company’s annual general meeting held on May 24, 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s stock option plan. Under the amended stock option plan, the number of shares reserved for issuance cannot exceed 10% of the total number of shares which are outstanding on the date of grant. The exercise price, term (not to exceed ten years) and vesting provisions are authorized by the Board at the time of the grant.  


Effective May 24, 2006, the Company granted incentive stock options to its directors, officers and employees to purchase up to a total of 985,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of CDN$8.90 per share. The options granted to directors and officers are exercisable for a five-year period, and options granted to employees are exercisable for a three-year period. All of the 985,000 incentive stock options granted vest 20% on the date of grant, and 20% at each six-month interval following the date of grant.


The fair value of stock options granted were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly as to the expected price volatility of the stock. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore it is management’s view that the existing models may not provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock option grants.


As at June 30, 2006, 4,221,000 stock options are vested and outstanding. The remaining 1,151,000 stock options vest over the following 23 months.


Subsequent to June 30, 2006, 35,000 stock options were exercised at an average exercise price of CDN$5.60.
