The Spanish Mountain Project is an advanced PEA-stage development project in a pro-mining jurisdiction. 98% of the mill feed in the 2026 PEA Update is in the M&I category, with 42% in Measured, which allows the Company to advance directly to a full Feasibility Study more quickly. Feasibility Study work is underway and fully funded, targeted for completion ahead of a construction decision in H1/28.
