For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, depreciation expense was $148,603 and $638,073. Equipment that is currently being manufactured is considered construction in process and is not depreciated until the equipment is placed into service. Equipment that is temporarily not in service is not depreciated until placed into service.

 

The operations surrounding our precious metals extraction services were temporarily suspended until 2022, although due to these suspended activities and a shift in 2022 of the Company’s focus to the oil and gas industry, we realized an impairment loss of $6,269,998 surrounding the extraction machinery for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

As of December 31, 2022, we continued to pursue a test facility or third-party reactor for our nano catalyst technology that facilitates chemical manufacturing, with a focus on the production of ammonia, which includes our bioreactor equipment. The Company received recent quotes for testing or building our own test facilities with new partners for this venture. After taking into consideration this new information, we noted that the newly requested capital expenditure to test and scale the business triggered an impairment loss of assets related to our ammonia synthesis assets, including our bioreactors. The impairment loss related to our bioreactors was $1,440,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022.
