FORWARD GOLD SALES CONTRACT LIABILITY

NOTE 3 – FORWARD GOLD SALES CONTRACT LIABILITY

 

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company entered into and closed a Pre-Paid Forward Gold Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with PDK Utah Holdings L.P. ("PDK") for the sale and purchase by PDK of gold produced from the Company's mining property. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, PDK agreed to purchase a total of 73,910 ounces of gold from the Company at a reduced market price. Prepayment will be made in three tranches, with the initial tranche in the amount of $11,200,000 having been made upon execution of the Purchase Agreement on March 7, 2019 (the "Initial Funding"), $4,500,000 for Tranche 2 to occur at least six months following the Initial Funding date, and $5,500,000 for Tranche 3 to occur at least 10 months following the Initial Funding date, provided that all conditions precedent for funding Tranches 2 and 3 are met. From the Initial Funding, the Company paid an upfront fee of $600,000 to PDK for expenses incurred in connection with the transaction. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell gold at a reduced market price in certain quantities during agreed periods following prepayment of each tranche. The first gold delivery of 655 ounces is due December 2020.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains provisions requiring the Company to pay PDK a portion of the proceeds when gold is sold to a third party. In addition, PDK may reduce the required number of ounces to be sold in exchange for common shares of the Company. As security for the obligations of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, the Company has granted PDK a security interest in all of the assets of the Company and has issued and recorded a Leasehold Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases, Rents, As Extracted Collateral and Contracts, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing. The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties, as well as affirmative and negative covenants customary to a transaction of this nature.

 

The forward gold sales contract liability due under the terms of the Purchase Agreement at March 31, 2019 is $10,600,000 which is the $11,200,000 received from PDK in the initial tranche less the $600,000 upfront fee paid by the Company. On October 31, 2019, the Purchase Agreement was amended to reduce the number of gold ounces to be delivered and the amount of funding to be received in Tranches 2 and 3 (Note 20).
