We look forward to updating investors on the continued execution of our restart plans over the coming weeks.”

Following the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including completion of definitive documentation and a full security package, the transaction closed on January 28, 2022. The parties agreed to increase the funding by $1 million, reflecting increased demand from Sprott and other investors.
