"Over the last two months, a lot has been accomplished to significantly de-risk the start-up plan and reposition the Company to take control of the mining operations. While we remain in temporary care and maintenance, the Company has been in constant communication with employees and various stakeholders, who have expressed a keen interest and readiness to get back to work and the mine and surface infrastructure remain in excellent working condition. It is a priority for the Company to obtain financing in order to resume operations. To that end, management is working diligently with the Board to obtain financing to ensure the Company is fully funded through restart and future mine expansion and we will be providing an update to the market as information becomes available."
