Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as amended, PDK agreed to purchase a total of 47,045 ounces of gold from the Company. The Company agreed to deliver ounces of gold produced from the Kiewit property to PDK and the Company would then receive proceeds from PDK at the then current spot price less a discount specified in the Purchase Agreement. The Company has the option of paying cash for the number of ounces scheduled to be delivered each month at a rate of $500 per ounce. The Company received a net amount of $13,600,000 in 2019 for the future delivery of these gold ounces. In February 2023, PDK sold their ownership position in the Purchase Agreement to Qenta, Inc.
