SHORT-TERM BANK INDEBTEDNESS | NOTE 8 SHORT-TERM BANK INDEBTEDNESS On May 29, 2015, Compañía Minera Pangea S.A. de C.V. (“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 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. Upon signing the agreement, CMP paid a 1% commission on the total value of the simple credit agreement to Banco Nacional. On June 1, 2015, CMP drew down the entire 90,000,000 Mexican pesos, equivalent to $5.2 million as of December 31, 2015 from the line of credit, and realized a foreign exchange gain of approximately $0.7 million during the period. During the year ended December 31, 2015, CMP collected 34,654,201 Mexican pesos (equivalent to $2.0 million as of December 31, 2015) of VAT receivable, from which 2,903,100 Mexican pesos were applied against the accrued interest on the line of credit and the remaining 31,751,101 Mexican pesos (approximately $1.8 million as of December 31, 2015) were applied against the principal. On January 13, 2016 CMP paid the remaining balance of 58,248,899 Mexican Pesos (approximately $3.4 million as of December 31, 2015) and fulfilled its obligation to Banco Nacional. As a result, this line of credit was closed.
