We are required to obtain governmental permits in order to conduct development and mining operations, a process which is often costly and time-consuming, and subject to interference by third parties

Previous report

We are required to obtain and renew governmental permits for our exploration activities and, prior to developing or mining any mineralization that we discover, we will be required to obtain new governmental permits. Obtaining and renewing governmental permits is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. The timeliness and success of permitting efforts are contingent upon many variables not within our control, including the interpretation of permit approval requirements administered by the applicable permitting authority. We may not be able to obtain or renew permits that are necessary for our planned operations or the cost and time required to obtain or renew such permits may exceed our expectations. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the permitting process could delay the exploration, development or operation of our properties, which in turn could materially adversely affect our future revenues and profitability. In addition, key permits and approvals may be revoked or suspended or may be changed in a manner that adversely affects our activities.

Previous report

Private parties, such as social or environmental activists, frequently attempt to intervene in the permitting process and to persuade regulators to deny necessary permits or seek to overturn permits that have been issued. For example, on August 28, 2025, N’Golo (“NGO”), a non-governmental organization known for numerous claims against mining projects, having filed 29 such claims in the last six years, filed a civil action in the federal court located in Teofilo Otoni, Brazil, claiming that the Company did not sufficiently consult with Girau, a traditional community, in connection with our Neves Project. While the leadership of the Girau community has repudiated the claims of NGO and we do not expect this action to materially delay our development of the Neves Project, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successful defend against and overcome all third-party objections to the permitting of our business activities.

Previous report

Obtaining the necessary governmental permits involves numerous jurisdictions, public hearings and possibly costly undertakings. These third-party actions can materially increase the costs and cause delays in the permitting process and could cause us to not proceed with the development or operation of a property. In addition, our ability to successfully obtain key permits and approvals to explore for, develop, operate and expand operations will likely depend on our ability to undertake such activities in a manner consistent with the creation of social and economic benefits in the surrounding communities, which may or may not be required by law. Our ability to obtain permits and approvals and to successfully operate in particular communities may be adversely affected by real or perceived detrimental events associated with our activities.
