Year End Results
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $6.0 million or $0.01 per share (basic and fully diluted) compared to a net loss of $2.8 million or $0.1 per share in 2023. The increase in net loss year over year was primarily due to the current year’s increase in exploration and evaluation expenditures upon the acquisition of RTEC’s 75% interest in the FALC property of $1.8, increased corporate development expenditures of $0.2, offset by a slight decrease in administration and consulting and professional fees of $0.1 combined with the mark-to-market loss of $0.2 on the Wescan investment and the impairment of the Buffalo Hills property of $1.0.
However, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and fund its expenses in an orderly manner will require additional forms of financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in obtaining additional financing, now or in the future. Failure to raise additional financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to suspend its operations and planned activities.
