  Permits cover stibnite mining at Styx and Stibium, ore sorting and processing at Whiskey Bravo within the Estelle Project, and refining at Port Mackenzie, over an initial three-year term.

• Funding and Equipment in Place

  Phase 1 is fully funded by a $43.4 million Department of War award, and all major long-lead mining and processing equipment has been procured and delivered.

• 2027 Production Target

  With permitting, funding, engineering and equipment complete, the company is focused on construction and targeting antimony production in 2027.

Permitting was the last regulatory gate before construction, and it closed in about three months from submission. With $43.4 million of Department of War funding already awarded, engineering and metallurgical work complete, and all major long-lead equipment delivered, the project now moves from planning to build. That matters because the company's 10-K carried a going concern warning and a $25.6M FY2026 net loss — a funded, permitted path to 2027 production is the clearest evidence yet that the antimony strategy can generate revenue rather than only consume cash. Execution risk now replaces regulatory risk: the permits run an initial three-year term, and the 2027 production target depends on construction staying on schedule.
