NOTE 4 NOTES RECEIVABLE

 

On July 27, 2018, the Company sold its interest in the Galore Creek project to a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) for cash proceeds of $100,000, a $75,000 note receivable due on the earlier of the completion of a Galore Creek pre-feasibility study or July 27, 2021, a $25,000 note receivable due on the earlier of the completion of a Galore Creek feasibility study or July 31, 2023, and a contingent note for $75,000 upon approval of a Galore Creek project construction plan by the owner(s). The Company received $75,000 from Newmont on July 27, 2021.

 

As of May 31, 2022, the carrying value of the $25,000 note receivable was $23,991 including $3,044 of accumulated accretion. The carrying value of the note receivable is being accreted to $25,000 over five years at a discount rate of 3.6% based on quoted market values for Newmont debt with a similar term.

 

A contingent note for $75,000 is receivable upon approval of a Galore Creek project construction plan by the owner(s). No value was assigned to the final $75,000 contingent note receivable. The Company determined that Galore Creek project construction approval was not probable as of the closing of the Galore Creek sale. The Company’s assessment did not change as of May 31, 2022.
