Tim Johnson, President and CEO, stated, “We look forward to working closely with Rob Sennott and Peter Harris as we advance our promising critical mineral projects for copper and molybdenum toward development and production. It is an exciting time for the Company with the recent 43% expansion of the resource at Carmacks and a robust PEA released in January 2023 as well as the acquisition of the 90+ million-pound bulk mineable LS molybdenum resource in central British Columbia. We look forward to providing updates in the near future on the Company’s recently initiated process test work for improved oxide recovery at the Carmacks project and exciting exploration potential for resource expansion developed from our 2022 geophysical and geochemical surveys, proximal to the existing resources.”
