Fortune Minerals Limited plans to construct a hydrometallurgical refinery at this site to process concentrates from the Company's NICO cobalt-gold-bismuth-copper critical minerals deposit and planned mine and concentrator in the Northwest Territories ("NWT"). Fortune can maintain the refinery site option under the same terms and conditions that are currently in place and acquire the facilities for CAD 5.5 million before March 31, 2024. Fortune is waiting for the government ice road from Whati to Gameti to open, which would enable the Company to truck ore samples from its existing stockpiles at the NICO site to SGS Canada Inc. in Lakefield, Ontario for the planned test work program.
