The fair value of the Company’s pre-funded warrant liability is estimated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the reporting date, adjusted for a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) related to restrictions on the underlying shares.

Expenses related to our exploration or development activities are generally not comparable from period to period as activities will vary based on several factors. At Grassy Mountain, the Company continued with permitting activities with state and federal permitting agencies. Permitting activities at the state level resulted in the completion of the EE and the commencement of draft permit writing. At the federal level, activity accelerated in the second half as the BLM prepared to publish the draft EIS for the Grassy Mountain Project. These expenses totaled $2,339,283.

Previous wording
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements and notes in conformity to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to the adequacy of the Company’s reclamation and environmental obligation, and assessment of impairment of mineral properties. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company capitalizes the cost of acquiring mineral properties and will amortize these costs over the useful life of a property following the commencement of production or expense these costs if it is determined that the mineral property has no future economic value or the properties are sold or abandoned. Costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts of the specific mineral property at the time the payments are made.

We account for the royalty convertible debenture in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The embedded conversion features are assessed to determine whether they meet the criteria for separate accounting as derivatives. If so, they are bifurcated and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in our Statement of Operations and the remaining value allocated to the royalty convertible debenture net the unamortized debt issuance costs. The determination of fair value involves the use of estimates, assumptions, and valuation models, including but not limited to discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. These estimates and assumptions may include, but are not limited to, future interest rates, volatility of gold and silver prices, and credit spreads and changes in these inputs could result in significant adjustments to the fair value of our derivatives and may impact our financial results.

Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value of the derivative liability.
