This resulted in an effective tax rate of 36.7% in the current period, compared with 35.4% in the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2010 is primarily related to an increase in tax expense related to earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries.

The increase in our earnings per share was primarily attributable to an increase in royalty revenue, as discussed further below. This increase was partially offset by an increase in production taxes, depletion expense and the royalty restructuring charge during the period, each of which are discussed further below.
For the six months ended December 31, 2011, we recognized total royalty revenue of $133.3 million, compared to total royalty revenue of $101.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Royalty revenue and the corresponding production, attributable to our royalty interests, for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:
Production taxes increased to $5.1 million for the six month ended December 31, 2011, from $3.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the mining proceeds tax expense associated with our Voiseys Bay royalty, which was due to increased royalty revenue from the Voiseys Bay royalty during the period.
