CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 8-K contains "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable United States ("U.S.") and Canadian securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), which may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the Company's: anticipated results and progress of our operations in future periods; planned exploration; development of our properties; plans related to our business, such as the ramp-up of our uranium business in response to improved uranium prices, our rare earth element ("REE") line of business, including work on our Kwale heavy mineral sands ("HMS") project in Kenya (the "Kwale Project"), Toliara HMS and REE project in Madagascar (the "Toliara Project"), Donald HMS and REE joint venture project in Australia (the "Donald Project") and South Bahia HMS and REE project in Brazil (the "Bahia Project") and our planned development of capabilities for the commercial separation of REEs at our White Mesa Mill (the "White Mesa Mill" or the "Mill") in Utah; plans related to our potential recovery of radioisotopes at the Mill for use in the production of targeted alpha therapy ("TAT") medical treatments; any plans related to the acquisition of additional mineral properties; any plans relating to the ramp-up of production or ongoing operations at any of our uranium, uranium/vanadium and/or HMS properties; historic estimates of resources and reserves; production estimates; maintenance and renewal of permits; expectations to enter into binding agreements with the Government of Madagascar as it relates to the Toliara Project; and expectations for the outcome of pending litigation. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.
Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, schedules, assumptions, future events, or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects" or "does not expect," "is expected," "is likely," "budgets," "scheduled," "forecasts," "intends," "anticipates" or "does not anticipate," "continues," "plans," "estimates," or "believes," and similar expressions or variations of such words and phrases or statements stating that certain actions, events or results "may," "could," "would," "might," or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made. We believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct, and such forward-looking statements included in, or incorporated by reference into, this Annual Report should not be unduly relied upon.
Readers are cautioned that it would be unreasonable to rely on any such forward-looking statements as creating any legal rights, and that the forward-looking statements are not guarantees and may involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and that actual results are likely to differ (and may differ materially), and objectives and strategies may differ or change, from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: global economic risks, such as the occurrence of a pandemic, political unrest or wars; cybersecurity risks associated with critical and other highly sensitive minerals of international interest, which are key to national security; risks associated with the restart and subsequent operation of any of our uranium, uranium/vanadium and HMS mines; risks associated with our commercial production of an REE carbonate ("RE Carbonate") or separated REE oxides and the planned expansion of such production, and risks associated with the exploration and development of our Bahia Project in Brazil; risks associated with the potential recovery of radioisotopes for use in the Company's TAT initiatives; risks associated with potential mineral acquisitions internationally, including geopolitical considerations; risks associated with increased regulatory requirements applicable to our operations in response to pressure from special interest groups or otherwise; and risks generally encountered in the exploration, development, operation, closure and reclamation of mineral properties and processing and recovery facilities. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation the following risks which are in addition and supplementary to the risk factor disclosed in the Company's FY23 Form 10-K:
failure to complete and integrate proposed acquisitions, and/or to incorrectly assess the value of or risks associated with completed acquisitions, including our acquisition of mineral concessions at the Bahia Project, the Donald Project and Base Resources (which owns the Toliara Project) and any future acquisitions; and
risks associated with fluctuations in price levels for HMS concentrate ("HMC") and its components, including the prices for ilmenite, rutile, titanium and zircon, which could impact planned production levels or the feasibility of production of HMC and monazite from our Bahia Project, Toliara Project, the Donald Project and any other HMS project the Company may acquire or participate in, which could impact monazite supply for our RE Carbonate, separated REE oxide and any other REE value-added product production.
The following information pertains to the outlook and conditions currently known to the Company that could have a material impact on its financial condition. Other factors may arise in the future that are currently not foreseen by management of the Company that may present additional risks, including risks that the Company currently believes are immaterial. Current and prospective shareholders of the Company should carefully consider these risk factors in conjunction with the risk factors contained in the FY23 Form 10-K when making investment decisions.
Our failure to successfully address any of the risks and uncertainties described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations, and the trading price of our common shares may fluctuate widely. We cannot assure you that we have or will successfully or fully address these risks or other unknown risks that may affect our business.
