Current report
Our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of April 30, 2025 due to the late filing of the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, which disclosed the Form 10-K Part III information. Failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Current report
As a public reporting company, we are required to establish and evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures, which are our controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Current report
Our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of April 30, 2025, due to the late filing of this Amendment to disclose the Part III information. The Company has taken steps to remediate this ineffectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and has determined that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2026. Nevertheless, the Company cannot be certain that the steps taken to remediate the ineffectiveness will prevent future issues from occurring with the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. If additional issues with our disclosure controls and procedures occur, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results could be impaired, which could result in additional late filings of our annual and quarterly reports under the Exchange Act, a decline in our stock price, suspension or delisting of our common stock from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “NASDAQ”), and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Current report
We will require substantial external financing to develop the CK Gold Project, and there is no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to secure project financing could result in indefinite delay or abandonment of the Project.
Current report
The Feasibility Study for the CK Gold Project estimates total initial capital costs of approximately $394 million (excluding $28 million of pre-production owner’s costs), which significantly exceeds our current financial resources. We will need to raise substantial additional capital through one or more financing transactions — which may include debt financing, equity financing, royalty or streaming arrangements, project-level financing, joint ventures, or a combination thereof — in order to fund construction and bring the project into production.
Current report
Our ability to secure project financing is subject to significant uncertainty and depends on a number of factors that are largely outside our control, including:
Current report
Even if we are able to secure project financing, the terms of such financing may be highly dilutive to existing stockholders, impose significant restrictions on our operations, or require us to grant security interests over our material assets, including the CK Gold Project. Any inability to secure financing on acceptable terms, or at all, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the value of our common stock, and could result in the indefinite delay or permanent abandonment of the CK Gold Project.
Current report
The Industrial Siting Permit for the CK Gold Project is subject to an expiration deadline, and our failure to demonstrate adequate project financing and resume construction before that deadline could result in the loss of this key permit and materially delay or prevent development of the project.
Current report
In June 2023, we received an ISP from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Industrial Siting Division authorizing the construction of the CK Gold Project. Construction activities were initiated in 2025 but were paused in January 2026 pending the demonstration of full project financing adequacy. At a May 2026 hearing, the Industrial Siting Commission approved an extension of the ISP through June 2027.
Current report
The extended ISP will expire if construction does not resume and continue in a manner consistent with the permit conditions prior to June 2027. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure project financing, satisfy the conditions of the ISP, and resume construction before the ISP expires. If the ISP expires, we would be required to reapply for a new industrial siting permit, which would involve a new application, public notification process, environmental and socioeconomic impact review, and public hearing before the Industrial Siting Commission.
Current report
The loss of the ISP would constitute a significant setback for the development of the CK Gold Project and could:
Current report
Certain shares sold under the Controlled Equity Offering SM Sales Agreement, dated June 9, 2025, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Sales Agreement”) may trigger certain potential rights, claims and other penalties.
Current report
We became aware that we failed to timely file an amendment to the our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 to include the information required by, and not included in, Part III of such filing because we did not file our definitive proxy statement within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. As a result, we concluded we were not eligible to use our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-286946) (the “Registration Statement”) for certain isolated sales under the Sales Agreement. Prior to becoming aware of this matter, we sold an aggregate of 38,541 shares of our common stock in two sales on August 27, 2025, and September 2, 2025 (the “Sales”), representing approximately $525,000 in the aggregate, under the Registration Statement pursuant to the Sales Agreement. On the days traded, these sales represented 2.5% and 8.5%, respectively, of the daily trading volume of our common stock on the Nasdaq. Because we were not eligible to use the Registration Statement at the time the Sales were made, the Sales may not have been made in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, the purchasers of those securities may have certain rights or could be entitled to damages for losses suffered, if any. In addition, we could become subject to enforcement actions or penalties and fines by federal and state regulatory authorities related to such sales. We also agreed to provide Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. with certain indemnification rights under the Sales Agreement. We cannot predict the likelihood of any claims or actions being brought against us or the amount of any penalties or fines in connection with the Sales. Any such claims, actions, penalties or fines could have a material adverse effect on our stock price, results of operations and financial condition.

Previous report
We will require significant additional capital to fund our business plan.
Previous report
We will be required to expend significant funds to continue exploration and if warranted, develop our existing exploration properties and to identify and acquire additional properties to diversify our properties portfolio. We have spent and will be required to continue to expend significant amounts of capital for drilling, geological and geochemical analysis, assaying and feasibility studies with regard to the results of our exploration. We may not benefit from some of these investments if we are unable to identify any commercially exploitable mineralized material.
Previous report
Our ability to obtain necessary funding for these purposes, in turn, depends upon a number of factors, including the status of the national and worldwide economy and the price of gold and copper. We may not be successful in obtaining the required financing or, if we can obtain such financing, such financing may not be on terms that are favorable to us. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration operations, development activities and the possible partial or total loss of our potential interest in our properties.
Previous report
Our activities may be adversely affected by unforeseeable and unquantifiable health risks, whether those effects are local, nationwide or global. Matters outside our control may prevent us from executing on our exploration programs, limit travel of Company representatives, adversely affect the health and welfare of Company personnel or prevent important vendors and contractors from performing normal and contracted activities.
Previous report
The risks we face related to contagious disease, or policies implemented by governments to protect against the spread of a disease, are unforeseeable and unquantifiable by us. We, or our people, investors, contractors or stakeholders, may be prevented from free cross-border travel or normal attendance to activities in conducting Company business at trade shows, presentations, meetings or other activities meant to promote or execute our business strategy and transactions. We may be prevented from receiving goods or services from contractors. Decisions beyond our control, such as canceled events, restricted travel, barriers to entry or other factors may affect our ability to accomplish drilling programs, technical analysis of completed exploration actions, equity raising activities, and other needs that would normally be accomplished without such limitations.
Previous report
We use a variety of outsourced contractors to execute our exploration programs. Drilling contractors need to be able to access our projects and ensure social distancing recommended safety standards. While our contractors are currently able to access our projects, there can be no assurances that this access will continue if subsequent waves of the infection or variant strains appear.
Previous report
As an exploration and development company with no revenues, we are reliant on constantly raising additional capital to fund our operations. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and on the market price of our common stock. There are no assurances we will be able to raise additional capital on favorable terms in the foreseeable future.
Reworded paragraphs (6)
Previous wording
To date, we have earned no revenues and have incurred accumulated net losses of $93.4 million. We have limited financial resources. As of April 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8.2 million and working capital of $8.0 million. Therefore, our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our achieving a future financing or strategic transaction. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful pursuing a financing or strategic transaction. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt as to whether our existing cash resources and working capital are sufficient to enable us to continue our operations for the next 12 months as a going concern. Ultimately, in the event that we cannot obtain additional financial resources, or achieve profitable operations, we may have to liquidate our business interests and investors may lose their investment. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that our company will continue as a going concern. Continued operations are dependent on our ability to obtain additional financial resources or generate profitable operations. Such additional financial resources may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Such adjustments could be material.
Current wording
To date, we have earned no revenues and have incurred accumulated net losses of $110.6 million. We have limited financial resources. As of April 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $30.7 million and working capital of $31.6 million. Therefore, our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our achieving future financings or a strategic transaction.

Previous wording
Our ability to obtain additional and continuing funding, and our profitability in the event we commence future mining operations or sell the rights to mine, will be significantly affected by changes in the market price of gold. Gold prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors, all of which are beyond our control. Some of these factors include the sale or purchase of gold by central banks and financial institutions; interest rates; currency exchange rates; inflation or deflation; fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and other currencies; speculation; global and regional supply and demand, including investment, industrial and jewelry demand; and the political and economic conditions of major gold or other mineral producing countries throughout the world, such as Russia and South Africa. The price of gold or other minerals have fluctuated widely in recent years, and a decline in the price of gold could cause a significant decrease in the value of our properties, limit our ability to raise money, and render continued exploration activities of our properties impracticable. If that happens, then we could lose our rights to our properties and be compelled to sell some or all of these rights. Additionally, the future progression of our properties beyond the exploration stage is heavily dependent upon the level of gold prices remaining sufficiently high to make the continuation of our properties economically viable. A decrease in the price of goldmay adversely affect our financial condition and access to capital and result in a decrease in our stock price. The greater the decrease in the price of gold, the more likely it is that our stock price will decrease.

Previous wording
Exploration activities usually require the granting of permits from various governmental agencies. For example, exploration drilling on unpatented mineral claims requires a permit to be obtained from the United States BLM, which may take several months or longer to grant the requested permit. Depending on the size, location and scope of the exploration program, additional permits may also be required before exploration activities can be undertaken. Prehistoric or Native American graveyards, threatened or endangered species, archeological sites or the possibility thereof, difficult access, excessive dust and important nearby water resources may all result in the need for additional permits before exploration activities can commence. As with all permitting processes, there is the risk that unexpected delays and excessive costs may be experienced in obtaining required permits. The needed permits may not be granted at all. Delays in or our inability to obtain necessary permits will result in unanticipated costs, which may result in serious adverse effects upon our business.

In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, you may be unable to resell your shares of our common stock at a desired price.

Previous wording
Although our common stock is currently quoted on NASDAQ, there is limited trading activity. We can give no assurance that an active market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. If an investor acquires shares of our common stock, the investor may not be able to liquidate our shares should there be a need or desire to do so. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity of our common stock is limited and may be dependent on the market perception of our business, among other things. We may, in the future, take certain steps, including utilizing investor awareness campaigns, press releases, road shows and conferences to increase awareness of our business and any steps that we might take to bring us to the awareness of investors may require we compensate consultants with cash and/or stock. There can be no assurance that there will be any awareness generated or the results of any efforts will result in any impact on our trading volume. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business and trading may be at an inflated price relative to our performance due to, among other things, availability of sellers of our shares. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms or clearing firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities or accept our shares for deposit in an account. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of low-priced shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.

Previous wording
Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ. We have in the past, and may in the future, be unable to comply with certain of the listing standards that we are required to meet to maintain the listing of our common shares on the NASDAQ. For instance, on November 7, 2019, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between September 26, 2019, through November 6, 2019, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the NASDAQ pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). On April 3, 2020, we received notice from the NASDAQ indicating that we have regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and the matter is now closed.
