Analysis · ALM · Energy & Transportation
This Form 144 signals a substantial planned disposition of shares by CEO Daniel D'Amato, alongside fellow affiliate Michael Lewis Black, through their jointly owned entity, Almonty Partners, LLC. The proposed sale of 5,000,000 shares, valued at $84.65 million, represents a significant portion of the company's market capitalization.

Investors will likely monitor for the actual execution of these sales.
