Mr. Smallwood said that while the company's business model was created to minimize the traditional risks associated with mining, Silver Wheaton is not fully immune to the impact of lower commodity prices. He informed that the lower pricing environment recently forced the operators of one of its smaller streams, Mineral Park, to face liquidity issues and subsequent bankruptcy. He added that this event resulted in Silver Wheaton executing a comprehensive review of its entire asset base, and as a result, the company recognized an impairment charge of $68.2 million relating to the Mineral Park and Campo Morado assets.

On the day of earnings release, Silver Wheaton declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per common share. Sign up and read the free analyst's notes on SLW at:
