The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options granted. The model requires management to make estimates, which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results. Changes in assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair values. The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the weighted average grant date fair values for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:
|  | December 31, 2018 |  |  | December 31, 2017 |
Expected stock price volatility |  |  | 83.41 | % |  |  | 81.72 | %
Expected life of options |  |  | 5.00 years |  |  |  | 5.00 years |
Risk free interest rate |  |  | 2.08 | % |  |  | 1.53 | %
Expected forfeitures |  |  | 0 | % |  |  | 0 | %
Expected dividend yield |  |  | 0 | % |  |  | 0 | %
Weighted average fair value per option granted |  | $ | 1.76 |  |  | $ | 2.13 |
Share-based payments for options vested for the year ended December 31, 2018 amounted to $16,855,862 (2017 – $12,493,458) of which $13,736,299 (2017 – $9,183,667) was expensed to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss and $3,119,563 (2017—$3,309,791) was capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets (Note 5).
