Resource Base GrowthA ~55% increase in measured & indicated gold and silver materially expands the project's scale and optionality. A larger resource base strengthens the case for commercial restart, supports longer mine life assumptions in feasibility work, and improves attractiveness to financiers and partners.
Metallurgical Recoveries & By‑product PotentialRobust metallurgical recoveries reduce processing risk and increase recoverable metal per ton, improving long-term project economics. The potential for roasting and a sulfuric acid by-product opens diversified revenue streams (lithium, copper, fertilizer markets), lowering commodity concentration risk over time.
Capital Structure ImprovementElimination of reported debt and a substantial equity rebound materially reduce financial strain and interest obligations. A cleaner capital structure improves flexibility to fund technical studies and phased restart options, lowering immediate refinancing risk and giving management more strategic runway.
