SHORT-TERM BANK INDEBTEDNESS | NOTE 7 SHORT-TERM BANK INDEBTEDNESS On May 29, 2015, Compañía Minera Pangea (“CMP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 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 was secured by CMP’s Value Added Tax (“VAT”) receivable balance. The applicable interest rate was equal to: (i) two and one-half percent (2.5%) per annum plus (ii) the 91 day Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate (“TIIE”) rate, as published by the Bank of Mexico, payable quarterly.

On January 13, 2016, CMP paid the remaining balance of the indebtedness in the amount of 58,248,899 Mexican Pesos (approximately $3.4 million).
