FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company is exposed to various risks related to its fnancial assets and liabilities. There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to fnancial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks , or the methods used to measure them, from previous years, unless otherwise stated in this note. Currency risk The Company realizes a part of its activities in US dollars and is thus exposed to foreign exchange fuctuations. The Company does not actively manage this risk. As at June 30, 2012, the Company has cash in US dollars for an amount of $935 (June 30, 2011, $296; July 1, 2010, $228) and accounts receivable in US dollars for an amount of $ 2,195 (June 30, 2011, $388; July 1, 2010, $516). As at June 30, 2012, the Company has estimated that a 10% increase or decrease of the US exchange rate would have caused a corresponding annual increase or decrease in net earnings and comprehensive earnings of approximately $193 (June 30, 2011, $18). Credit risk The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of its operations. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining suffcient collateral where appropri ate, as a means of mitigating the risk of fnancial loss from defaults. It carries out, on a continuing basis, credit checks on its customers and maintains provisions for contingent credit losses. Demand for the Company’s drilling services depends upon the level of mineral exploration and development activities conduc ted by mining companies, particularly with respect to gold, nickel and copper. In order to reduce the credit risk, the Company is using insurance coverage from Export Development Canada (‘’EDC’’) on certai n accounts receivable from its customers. The insurance program provides under certain terms and conditions an insurance c overage amount of up to 90% of unpaid accounts. As at June 30, 2012, the amount of the insurance coverage from EDC represents approximately 24% of the accounts receivable (33% in June 30, 2011; 53% in July 1, 2010). The carrying amounts for accounts receivable are net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which are estimated based on aging analysis of receivables, past experience, specifc risks associated with the customer and other rel evant information. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of the fnancial assets.
