Mineral interests include acquired interests in exploration stage properties, including the costs of options to acquire such properties. Exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of rights or options to explore and lease properties are considered exploration costs and expensed as incurred. As of March 31, 2026, the mineral interests capitalized are held by FRE Australia and SEM, whereas the costs of arrangements entered into by AMBPL have been expensed as incurred. No options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

In the event that the Company exercises its options under one or more option agreements and begins commercial exploration, it will be required to make royalty payments based on a percentage of production revenue as defined in the agreements.
