On October 16, 2017, the Company issued a note receivable to Revelo Resources Corp. (TSX-V: RVL), a related party by way of a common director for the principal amount of $400. The note was due on December 31, 2017, together with accrued interest at a rate of 1% per month and a bonus of $20. As at December 31, 2019, the balance owed to the Company pursuant to the note was $526 (December 31, 2018 - $478) including accrued interest and bonus fee. Subsequent to December 31, 2019 , the Company completed a purchase agreement to purchase a portfolio of royalties from Revelo for US$1,162 with the agreement that the proceeds will be used to settle the note receivable (Note 22).

On November 25, 2019 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Boreal Metals Corp. (“BMC”) whereby the Company will loan $800 to BMC for one year. BMC will pay an annual effective interest rate of 8.08% with a loan fee equal to 5% of the loan amount ($40) and is payable on maturity. The Company has the option to elect to receive the loan fee in shares of BMC at not less than the market price of BMC common shares in accordance with TSX-V Policy.
