PFS completion scheduled for January 2024.

premier German mine and process engineering teams, ERCOSPLAN and K-UTEC, to
advance our flagship Ohmgebirge Development. Coupled with our geology partner,
Micon, the external team will deploy its experience alongside our Owner's Team
to advance the project through the PFS workstreams and will provide essential
support to the Environmental Impact Assessment and permitting processes
announced earlier this month."
The team will be under the in-house leadership of South Harz Chief Operating
Officer, Lawrence Berthelet, with
