BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2026, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2026. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period amounts to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations, stockholders’ equity or cash flows as previously reported. Investment in Joint Venture In February 2026, the Company entered into a joint venture (“JV”) agreement with Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (“Americas”) to construct and operate a hydrometallurgical processing facility. The JV is owned 51% by Americas and 49% by the Company. Because governance is shared through a management committee with equal representation and all significant decisions require unanimous approval, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, however it does have the ability to exercise significant influence. As a result, the Company accounts for its investment in the JV under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the initial investment is recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the JV’s net income or loss, additional capital contributions, and distributions received. The Company’s share of the JV’s results is recognized in “Equity in losses of joint venture” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the investment is presented within noncurrent assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company periodically reassesses whether it has a controlling financial interest in the JV and evaluates the investment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for the Company’s annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this update will have on its consolidated financial statements and expense disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendments in this ASU clarify and refine the criteria for capitalizing costs related to internal-use software. Under the new guidance, capitalization is permitted when both of the following conditions are met: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. This ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, for interim reporting periods beginning within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this update to determine its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants by Business Entities. This ASU provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received by business entities. Under the new guidance, government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions of the grant and that the grant will be received. Grants related to income are presented either as other income or as a reduction of the related expense, while grants related to assets are recorded either as deferred income or as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related asset. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. If a business entity adopts the amendments in this ASU in an interim reporting period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes that interim reporting period. The Company early adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2026. See NOTE 9 – GOVERNMENT GRANT for further details. The Company does not believe that issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
