On June 6, 2018, the Company loaned $250,000 to West Materials, Inc. and William J. West (collectively “West”) which bears interest at 8% and has a term of fifteen months. Five payments are due quarterly with the first payment due and received in cash September 30, 2018. For each payment, the Company has the option of receiving payment in cash or 48.45 troy ounces of gold.  The Company plans to opt for cash payment unless the price of gold increases to a level where it would be more beneficial. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company purchased the Butte Potosi mineral property from West (see Note 8). The note receivable is collateralized by a mortgage on the Butte Gulch real property and a related net smelter royalty rights.
