Item 2.01                         Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On December 18, 2019, the Company sold certain non-strategic Mexican exploration properties to a subsidiary of Industrias Peñoles for $3.0 million.  The Mogotes and Pistachon properties are comprised of a total of four mining concessions located near the Company’s Velardeña property.  The book value of the properties on the Company’s balance sheet was zero, and therefore, the transaction resulted in an increase in the Company’s total shareholder’s equity of $3.0 million.
