Derivative Instruments | 6. Derivative Instruments Covered call options From time-to-time Solitario has sold covered call options against its holdings of shares of common stock of Kinross Gold Corporation (“Kinross”) included in marketable equity securities.

At June 30, 2023, Solitario has a liability related to covered calls outstanding on its holdings of Kinross of $8,000. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, Solitario sold covered calls against its holdings of Kinross for cash proceeds of $31,000 and recorded a gain on derivative instruments related to those covered calls of $23,000. Solitario did not sell any covered calls during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
