Outlook and Strategy

The net proceeds from the 2026 Rights Offering, combined with existing funds and expected receipts, will support continued Demonstration Plant operations, advancement of projects beyond current NdPr separation objectives, and completion of federal and state permitting for the Bear Lodge REE Project. The company will still require substantial additional funding for a commercial mine and plant for the Bear Lodge REE Project, with a DoE financial assistance agreement novation expected in 2026, while the Sundance Gold Project remains on hold.
