Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• High degree of risk in mineral property exploration.
• Substantial costs and time required for ore body identification and evaluation.
• Risks associated with early-stage exploration properties (viable ore body confirmation, title confirmation, feasibility study completion, funding, permitting, engineering, plant procurement, facility construction).
• Operational hazards (equipment/plant performance, metallurgical issues, environmental concerns, cost estimation accuracy, workforce performance).
• Environmental regulations and compliance costs.
• Governmental regulations (environmental protection, health, safety, labor, mining law reform, production restrictions, taxes, claim maintenance, tenure, expropriation).
• Additional funding requirements for exploration and development.
• Geopolitical risks (government policy changes, expropriations, license cancellations, contract reviews).

Mitigation Strategies

• Implementation of quality control programs for drill programs (QA/QC protocols, certified standard reference and blank materials, industry-standard assay techniques).
• Conducting exploration activities within applicable environmental legislation.
• Seeking additional resources and funding through debt financing, equity financing, joint ventures, or other means.
