    Management of capital
    The Company considers its capital to consist of components of equity. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration of its exploration and evaluation assets and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.
     
    The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company
    may
    attempt to issue new shares and, acquire or dispose of assets.
     
    In order to maximize ongoing exploration efforts, the Company does
    not
    pay out dividends. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its short-term excess cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with short term maturities, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.
     
    The Company expects its current capital resources will be sufficient to carry its exploration plans and operations for the foreseeable future. There were
    no
    changes to the Company’s approach to the management of capital during the period.
