Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 3, 2006, we entered into a second and final gold price protection
agreement with Standard Bank plc to protect us against future fluctuations in
the price of gold. As with our prior agreement, we agreed to a series of gold
forward sales and call option purchases in anticipation of entering into a
credit agreement with Standard Bank, which will be used to fund part of the cost
of development of our El Chanate project. We are continuing negotiations with
Standard Bank on the terms of the credit agreement. Under this price protection
agreement, we have agreed to sell a total volume of 60,963.50 ounces of gold
forward to Standard Bank at a price of $500 per ounce on a quarterly basis
during the period from March 2007 to September 2010. We will also purchase call
options from Standard Bank on a quarterly basis during this same period covering
a total volume of 60,963.50 ounces of gold at a price of $535 per ounce. We paid
a fee. We are providing cash collateral of approximately $2.1 million to secure
our obligations under this agreement. The cash collateral will be returned to us
when the loan agreement is executed and all conditions precedent to funding have
been satisfied.
With this agreement, we have completed our expected hedging requirements under
our proposed credit agreement with Standard Bank. Between this agreement and our
prior gold price protection agreement, the total volume of gold covered is
121,927 ounces and the total cash collateral provided is approximately $4.27
million.
