Valuation of stock options requires the use of estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The expected volatility used in valuing stock options is based on volatility observed in historical periods. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of the stock options was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions and resulting fair values:
|  | December 31, 2023 |  |  | December 31, 2022 |
Weighted average assumptions: |  |  |  |  |  |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 3.10 | % |  |  | 2.49 | %
Expected dividend yield |  |  | 0.00 | % |  |  | 0.0 | %
Expected warrant life (years) |  |  | 5.00 |  |  |  | 5.00 |
Expected stock price volatility |  |  | 61.10 | % |  |  | 59.98 | %
Expected forfeiture rate |  |  | 17 | % |  |  | 20 | %
Weighted average fair value |  | $ | 0.60 |  |  | $ | 0.63 |
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company charged $924 (year ended December 31, 2022 - $869) to operations as share-based payments for the fair value of stock options granted.
| (d) | Restricted Share Units:
On April 19, 2018, the Company’s Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) Plan was approved by its shareholders. The RSU Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee under the supervision of the Board of Directors as compensation to officers, directors, consultants, and employees. The Compensation Committee determines the terms and conditions upon which a grant is made, including any performance criteria or vesting period. Upon vesting, each RSU entitles the participant to receive one common share, provided that the participant is continuously employed with or providing services to the Company. RSUs track the value of the underlying common shares, but do not entitle the recipient to the underlying common shares until such RSUs vest, nor do they entitle a holder to exercise voting rights or any other rights attached to ownership or control of the common shares, until the RSU vests and the RSU participant receives common shares. Continuity of RSUs is as follows:
|  | Underlying Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Price (C$) |
RSUs outstanding, January 1, 2022 |  |  | 1,439,477 |  |  | $ | 1.32 |

During the year ended December 31, 2023, 1,878,320 RSUs (year ended December 31, 2022 – 1,799,000) were granted.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company charged $1,345 (December 31, 2022 - $1,155) to operations as share-based payments for the fair value of the RSUs vested.
