NOTE 6   SHORT-TERM BANK INDEBTEDNESS

 

On May 29, 2015, Compañía Minera Pangea, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“CMP”), finalized a line of credit agreement with Banco Nacional de Comercio Exterior (“Banco Nacional”), for an amount up to 90,000,000 Mexican pesos (approximately $5.9 million as of May 29, 2015), which is secured by CMP’s IVA receivable balance. The line of credit was available for six (6) months starting April 17, 2015.  The applicable interest rate is equal to: (i) two and one-half percent (2.5%) per annum plus (ii) the 91 day TIIE (Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate) rate, as published by the Bank of Mexico, payable quarterly.  As of June 30, 2015, the 91 day TIIE rate was 3.31%.  Upon signing the agreement, CMP paid a 1% commission on the total value of the simple credit agreement to Banco Nacional.  During the period ended June 30, 2015 CMP drew down the entire 90,000,000 Mexican pesos, equivalent to $5.8 million as of June 30, 2015 from the line of credit, and realized a foreign exchange gain of approximately $0.1 million during the period.  The Company has guaranteed CMP’s obligations under the line of credit.
