Capitalized Costs Relating Specifically to the SAGD Project

 

The Company entered into a Farmout Agreement dated July 31, 2013, whereby the Company’s operating costs of the SAGD Project are paid in full by the Farmee in accordance with the Farmout Agreement; therefore the Company has not capitalized any of the operating costs paid by the Farmee to the operator of the SAGD Project.
