As of March 31, 2026, the Company had related party payables of $1,423,902 (December 31, 2025 - $1,916,770). During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repaid $492,868 and $396,000, respectively, comprising $350,000 in notes payable repayments and $142,868 in net reduction of related party trade payables.
