20. Commitments and contingent liabilities

 

Daytal owns the Los Santos Mine, near the town of Los Santos, Salamanca in western Spain. Daytal rents the land where the Los Santos Mine is located from local property owners and municipalities. The leases range from ten to 25 years and have expiry dates in 2032. On all leases greater than ten years, Daytal has the right to terminate the leases under certain circumstances without penalty. Annual lease commitments total approximately $393 payable throughout the year on the anniversary dates of the individual leases.

 

The mining license for the Los Santos Mine was granted in September 2002 for a period of 30 years and is extendable for 90 years. Daytal pays minimal land taxes and there is no other royalty payment associated with the license. The Company files applications in the ordinary course to renew the permits associated with its mining license that it deems necessary and/or advisable for the continued operation of its business. Certain of the Company’s permits to operate that are associated with the mining license are currently under application for renewal.

 

The Company’s operations are subject to other claims and lawsuits from time to time, including any claims related to suppliers, employees or other parties. However, these are not expected to result in a material impact on the financial statements.
