Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract] |
Asset Impairment Charges [Text Block] | 9. Amayapampa Interest In December 2014, the owner of the Amayapampa gold project completed the sale of 100% of the project to a private investor. Accordingly, we evaluated the carrying value of our interest in Amayapampa, comprised of a right to receive an NSR royalty on future gold production, if any, plus certain additional cash payments if the project successfully starts commercial production. Given the frequency of ownership changes over the past several years, the conditions in gold market, and the political climate in Bolivia, we concluded that there is no more than a remote possibility that the Amayapampa project will be successfully developed and operated within the foreseeable future and that the asset was fully impaired, an impairment amount equal to the $4,813 carrying value was included in our Consolidated Statements of Income/(Loss) and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2014.
