For the Kiewit property facilities, amortization expense is based on units of production. Production in the three months ended June 30, 2019 was minimal and amortization based on total units of production in the second quarter of 2019, plus an adjustment in total expected ounces expected to be produced from the facilities, resulted in an amortization adjustment of $(39,541) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. There was no amortization in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the lack of production.

On June 13, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement whereby the Company acquired 20 claims adjacent to the Kiewit property from Ben Julian, LLC for $250,000.
