Climate Goals & Targets
Environmental Challenges
- Exploration Stage Company: The Company has no history of operations and is still in an early stage of development.
- Mineral Exploration and Development: The exploration and development of minerals is highly speculative in nature and involves a high degree of financial and other risks over a significant period of time
- Operating History and Financial Resources: The Company has no history of operations or revenues and it is unlikely that the Company will generate any revenues from operations in the foreseeable future.
- Possible Loss of Interest in the Rogers Creek Property: The Company’s ability to maintain an interest in the Rogers Creek Property will be dependent on its ability to raise additional funds by equity financing.
- Competition: The mineral exploration business is competitive in all of its phases.
- Environmental Risks and Hazards: All phases of the Company’s operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations.
- Government Regulations: The Company’s current or future operations, including exploration and development activities and the commencement and continuation of commercial production, require licenses, permits or other approvals from various federal, provincial, territorial and/or local governmental authorities.
- Title Risks: While the Company has exercised the usual due diligence with respect to determining title to the Company’s properties, there is no guarantee that title to such properties will not be challenged or impugned.
- First Nations Land Claims: The Rogers Creek Property or other properties optioned by the Company may now or in the future be the subject of first nations land claims.
- Negative Operating Cash Flow: Since inception, the Company has had negative operating cash flow.
- Commodity Prices: The price of the Company’s securities, the Company’s financial results and exploration, development and mining activities have previously been, and may in the future be, significantly adversely affected by declines in the price of precious or base metals.
- Potential increase cost due to rising inflation: Inflation and other economic factors beyond the Company’s control may cause an increase in costs and expenses, resulting in the Company being unable to complete its objectives with its currently available funds, if at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations
- Price Volatility and Lack of Active Market: In recent years, the securities markets in Canada and elsewhere have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many public companies, particularly resource issuers, have experienced significant fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies.
- Reliance on Management and Experts: The Company’s success will be largely dependent, in part, on the services of the Company’s senior management and directors.
- Conflicts of Interest: Certain of the Company’s directors, officers and other members of management do, and may in the future, serve as directors, officers, promoters and members of management of other companies and, therefore, it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a director, officer, promoter or member of the Company’s management team and their duties as a director, officer, promoter or member of management of such other companies.
Mitigation Strategies
- The Company anticipates that its existing cash resources, together with the net proceeds of the Offering, will be sufficient to cover the Company’s projected funding requirements for the ensuing year.
- The Company is planning to raise additional funding through a brokered private placement for which the Company filed a Prospectus, which was receipted on January 25, 2023, and which was closed on April 24, 2023.
- The Company may also raise additional funds through debt financing.
