All directors nominated by the Company were elected by shareholders of the Company, with each director receiving greater than 94% of the votes cast. The shareholders also voted in favour of all other items of business including the continuation of the Company's Restricted Share Unit Plan and Deferred Share Unit Plan. Base Shelf Prospectus and ATM Program The Company filed a final short form base shelf prospectus with the securities commissions in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (the "Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus"), and a corresponding shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement" together with the Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus, the "Base Shelf Prospectus") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission allowing for the future issuance, from time to time, of up to US$50 million in common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares"), warrants to purchase Common Shares, share purchase contracts of the Company, subscription receipts and units comprised of some or all of the foregoing securities (collectively, the "Securities"). Any amounts, prices and terms will be determined based on market conditions at the time of an offering and will be set out in an accompanying prospectus supplement. The final Base Shelf Prospectus became effective on April 14, 2025. The Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus will remain effective for 25 months, while the Registration Statement will remain effective for three years. On May 27, 2025, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation (the "Canadian Agents"), BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the "U.S. Agents" together with the Canadian Agents, the "Agents") for the ATM Program. On the same date, the Company filed a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus and the US shelf registration statement on Form S-3 qualifying the distribution of the Common Shares under the ATM Program. Under the ATM Program and pursuant to the Distribution Agreement and the Prospectus Supplement, the Company may sell up to US$25 million of Common Shares. The Common Shares sold under the ATM Program, if any, will be sold at the prevailing market price at the time of sale. The net proceeds of any such sales under the ATM Program are anticipated to be used for continued development of the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects and for general corporate purposes. Selected Results The following selected financial information is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. in thousands of dollars,except for per share amounts Three months ended Six months ended Selected expenses May 31, 2025 $ May 31, 2024 $ May 31, 2025 $ May 31, 2024 $ General and administrative 353 319 696 734 Investor relations 18 19 34 31 Professional fees 612 192 1,059 392 Salaries 316 178 523 369 Salaries and directors expense – stock-based compensation 367 509 2,597 2,508 Share of loss on equity investment 764 602 1,345 1,395 Comprehensive loss for the period (2,177) (1,759) (5,800) (5,360) Basic and diluted loss per common share (0.01) (0.01) (0.04) (0.03) For the three-month period ended May 31, 2025, we reported a net loss of $2.2 million compared to a net loss of $1.8 million for the three-month period ended May 31, 2024. The increase in comprehensive loss in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the same quarter in 2024, was primarily driven by higher regulatory expenses and legal fees related to the Company's Base Shelf Prospectus and ATM Program. For the three-month period ended May 31, 2025, salaries increased due to executives receiving 100% of their base compensation in cash starting on March 1, 2025. In comparison, during the same period in 2024, all of the base salary for the Company's Chief Executive Officer and one-third of the base salaries for the other executives was paid in Restricted Share Units as part of a multi-year cash conservation initiative, which was recorded in stock-based compensation. The increase in salaries was offset by a corresponding decrease in stock-based compensation expense. The increase in our share of loss of Ambler Metals was primarily driven by higher professional consulting fees related to engineering activities incurred during the second quarter and partially offset by a reduction in overall activities at the Ambler Access Project. For the six-month period ended May 31, 2025, we reported a net loss of $5.8 million, compared to a net loss of $5.4 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher regulatory expenses and legal fees related to the Company's Base Shelf Prospectus and ATM Program of $0.7 million, as well as fees related to the preparation of the Bornite preliminary economic assessment study (the "Bornite PEA") of $0.2 million. Salaries increased due to executives receiving 100% of their base compensation in cash starting on March 1, 2025. In comparison, during the same period in 2024, a portion of executive compensation was paid in Restricted Share Units. Our share of losses from Ambler Metals for the six-month period ended May 31, 2025 remained comparable to the same period in 2024. Additionally, overall corporate costs were partially offset by $0.4 million in interest income earned. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the six-month period ending May 31, 2025, we used $1.4 million for operating activities. The majority of these funds was spent on corporate salaries, professional fees to complete the Bornite PEA, and the establishment of the Shelf Base Prospectus and ATM Program along with related regulatory filing fees with the United States and Canadian securities commissions. In addition, the Company incurred annual listing fees for the NYSE American Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange during the first fiscal quarter. These outflows were partially offset by $0.4 million in interest income earned. As at May 31, 2025, we had $24.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital, which we define as current assets less current liabilities, of $23.8 million. There is sufficient cash on hand to fund the approved fiscal 2025 cash budget of $3.1 million. To ensure sufficient liquidity in the future to support our operations, administration expenses and contributions for our share of Ambler Metals, we have an effective Base Shelf Prospectus that allows for the future issuance, from time to time, of up to US$50.0 million in Securities. We have also established an ATM Program whereby we may, from time to time and at our discretion, offer and sell the Common Shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to US$25.0 million under the ATM Program, through the Agents, at the prevailing market price at the time of sale. As at July 10, 2025, we have not utilized the ATM Program. We believe our current cash position is sufficient to meet our working capital requirement for the next 12 months. Additionally, we have access to capital markets to support any future funding needs related to joint venture contributions.
