Executive summary

• Rook I construction advanced across engineering, procurement and site development, with progress reported on scope, schedule and budget; licensed construction began June 8, 2026.

• Q3 net loss narrowed year over year, largely due to non-cash convertible-debenture fair-value changes; construction and exploration spending reduced cash and working capital.
