The current letter of credit required by the MECP for the Belleville Facility is $457,441 (C$637,637) but the MECP has requested a payment of $105,090 (C$146,487), no later than July 15, 2026, to satisfy the financial assurance with the MECP. The Company is preparing to make the payment before the deadline. Refer also to subsequent events, note 19 (b). The letter of credit is a requirement of the MECP and is in connection with the financial assurance provided by the Company for it to be in compliance with the MECPs environmental objectives. The MECP regularly evaluates the Company's Belleville Facility to ensure compliance is adhered to and the letter of credit is subject to change by the MECP. The financial assurance is based on the estimated environmental remediation and clean-up costs for the Belleville Facility. As a result of inspections carried out by the MECP during the prior years, some of which have resulted in MECP orders having been issued, the Company has accrued estimated and actual costs for corrective measures in orders issued by the MECP $2,777,020 (C$3,870,950) (December 31, 2025-$2,824,245; C$3,870,950).
