INCOME TAXES |
INCOME TAXES | NOTE 8 INCOME TAXES The Company’s income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal and state statutory corporate income tax rate of 35% primarily as a result of the tax benefit of losses not being recognized and due to changes in the deferred tax liability associated with mineral property interests acquired with the Minera Andes acquisition. This deferred tax liability is impacted by fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the Argentine peso and U.S. dollar. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax recovery of $2.5 million and $21.4 million, respectively, as a result of the Argentine peso devaluation, compared to $7.5 million and $13.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Further, the income tax recovery for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 includes $22.5 million associated with the impairment of the Los Azules Project, discussed in Note 3, Mineral Property Interests and Asset Retirement Obligations. This compares to an income tax recovery of $4.8 million related to mineral property interests sold or impaired in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
