9.Equity Investment

Following its earn-in to the Bootheel Project in 2009, Jet Metals Corp. was required to fund 75% of the project’s expenditures and the Company the remaining 25%. The project has been accounted for using the equity accounting method with the Company’s pro rata share of the project’s loss included in the Statement of Operations since the date of earn-in and the Company’s net investment reflected on the Balance Sheet. Under the terms of the operating agreement, the Company elected not to participate financially for the year ended March 31, 2012 which reduced the Company’s ownership percentage to approximately 19%. The equity accounting method has been continued because the Company has an equal number of members on the management committee as the other member and can directly influence the budget, expenditures and operations of the project.

In 2016, the Company performed quarterly impairment analyses based on the mineralization at the Bootheel property and the then current spot price.  It determined that impairments reflecting the then current spot price were warranted.  Upon further analysis, it was determined that the deteriorating market conditions have made the investment not currently economically viable.  Therefore, while the ownership interest will continue to be carried by the Company and the related resources retained, the Company has elected to write off the remaining basis in the investment as of September 30, 2016 resulting in a charge of $889 for the quarter and $1,089 for the year.
