MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS AND PLANT AND EQUIPMENT |
MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS AND PLANT AND EQUIPMENT | NOTE 8 MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS AND PLANT AND EQUIPMENT The applicable definition of proven and probable reserves is set forth in the new Regulation S-K 1300 requirements of the SEC. If proven and probable reserves exist at the Company’s properties, the relevant capitalized mineral property interests and asset retirement costs are charged to expense based on the units of production method upon commencement of production. The Company’s Gold Bar and Black Fox properties have proven and probable reserves estimated in accordance with Regulation S-K 1300. The El Gallo Project is depleted and depreciated using the straight line, as the project does not have proven and probable reserves as defined in Regulation S-K 1300. The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment on a quarterly basis or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Once it is determined that impairment exists, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, no indicators of impairment have been noted for any of the Company’s mineral property interests. ​
