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.

Shanghai Platinum Week Showcases China’s Dominance in Global PGMs Demand

China is solidifying its position as the primary engine for global platinum demand

Record participation in Shanghai Platinum Week underscores the country’s expanding influence in a market facing a deepening supply deficit. The event, which attracted over 590 delegates from 30 countries, took place at a critical moment — just as the platinum market is tightening and a supply shortfall is deepening through 2029.

The World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) notes that China now accounts for 64 percent of global demand for platinum bars and coins — up from 11 percent in 2019 — driven largely by investors seeking alternatives to gold.

Platinum Price Update: H1 2025 in Review

Platinum began the year trading between US$900 and US$1,100 per ounce.

While platinum and other platinum-group metals are considered precious metals, they largely trade on demand from the auto sector. Platinum is used as a catalyst to control emissions from internal combustion engine vehicles.

Over the past several years, demand for electric and hybrid vehicles has increased, which has led to a reduction in platinum loadouts and lowered overall demand. However, with changing environmental regulations, an end to electric vehicle (EV) mandates and tax credits, the market may be experiencing a turnaround in H1.

Editor's Picks: Platinum Hits 11 Year High, Expert Touts Silver's Bullish Future

It was a week of downward momentum for the gold price.

The yellow metal neared the US$3,400 per ounce level on Monday (June 23) as investors reacted to the weekend's escalation in tensions in the Middle East, but sank to just above US$3,300 the next day.

The decline came as US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire. While the ceasefire has not gone entirely smoothly, with Trump expressing displeasure about violations, the news appeared to calm investors.

Platinum Price Surges to 11 Year High, Breaks US$1,400

The platinum price surged above US$1,400 per ounce during Thursday (June 26) morning trading, reaching its highest level in 11 years amid a wave of speculative buying in the US and China.

In the US, industrial demand for the metal is rising as American carmakers scale back their electrification plans. At the same time, new policies are set to walk back consumer subsidies for electric vehicles.

These Trump administration mandates are expected to result in increased demand for traditional internal combustion engines or hybrid vehicles, which require higher platinum loadouts.
