There is uncertainty in the estimation of mineral resources
Mineral resource estimates are based on limited drilling and judgmental geological interpretations, creating uncertainty in actual recovery.
- NewRisks Related to Our Company and Business
Our mineral resource estimates may not be reliable and are inherently more uncertain than estimates of proven and probable reserves; there is risk and increased uncertainty to commencing and conducting production without established mineral reserves
Our properties lack mineral reserves under S-K 1300, increasing the risk of economic and technical failure.
- NewRisks Related to Our Company and Business
Mining, extraction, recovery, processing, construction, development and exploration activities depend, to a substantial degree, on adequate infrastructure
Unusual weather, sabotage, or infrastructure failures on roads and power sources could disrupt our mining operations.
