7.       CAPITALIZATION OF INTEREST

Under the terms of the IFC loan executed in 2014, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the undrawn component of the credit facility.

The Company capitalizes interest costs and commitment fees on expenditures made in connection with exploration and development projects that are not subject to current depletion. Interest and commitment fees are capitalized only for the period that activities are in progress to bring these projects to their intended use. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred interest expense of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in connection with the IFC credit facility. All interest expense was capitalized.
