  • The Company anticipates that the decline ramp will improve underground access for exploration, and may potentially support an increase in productivity and mining rates in the future.

  • Target to ramp up processing capacity up to 500 short tons per day is subject to completion of required mine and mill infrastructure upgrades, completion of an updated mineral resources estimate ("MRE") in accordance with NI 43-101 (as defined herein) and ongoing technical work.

  • During Q3 2023, the Company continued underground exploration and delineation activities on the existing Trixie deposit with two diamond drill rigs operating as part of its 2023 underground infill and exploration program. This portion of the 2023 exploration drill program is now complete.

    • As of September 30, 2023, a total of 6,194 m (20,322 ft.) were drilled in 73 holes, including an additional 1 geotechnical hole totalling 349 m (1,145 ft.), with assay results for 14 diamond drilling holes released on July 18, 2023. Assay results for an additional 17 holes were released on October 11, 2023 (see Subsequent to Q3 2023). Assay results for the remaining drill holes are pending.

  • The Company is currently working on an updated MRE for the Trixie deposit to incorporate the new 2023 drilling and the remaining 2022 drilling that was not included in the Tintic Technical Report (as defined herein) published on January 27, 2023 (with an effective date of January 10, 2023), due to assay lab delays. This new MRE is expected to be completed once the 2023 drilling program has concluded, and all assay results have been received.

  • Data compilation from historic mines in the area is ongoing and anticipated to generate additional exploration drill targets on the greater Tintic Project property.
