• Net loss for Q2 2025 was $11.5 million ($0.09 per share), mainly due to lower production and decreased net sales, with significant operational constraints.

• Working capital stood at $10.4 million and cash at $12.7 million as of June 30, 2025, bolstered by $21.3 million raised YTD through equity offerings, a tax refund, and a $6.28 million loan.

• Management and board changes included a new COO and director, with a focus on mine development, equipment upgrades, and strategic initiatives such as new equipment orders and engaging an experienced underground mining contractor.

• Exploration activities and operational initiatives are progressing, but exploration drilling remains suspended until working capital improves.

Financial highlights

• Net sales for Q2 2025 were $11.2 million, a 46% decrease from Q2 2024, driven by lower production volumes.

• Total cost of sales for Q2 2025 was $15.6 million, down 36% year-over-year, but not enough to offset the sales decline.

Outlook and guidance

• If new mining areas are not developed, operations may not continue beyond Q3 2026, potentially leading to mine care and maintenance status.

• Exploration drilling is expected to resume after development and working capital improvements, with new targets identified for future testing.

• Management is seeking to reduce capital needs by purchasing used equipment and utilizing third-party contractors.
