Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current share price and trading volume on the NYSE American to assess the potential dilution impact of the $3,000,000 offering.
- Review the Buckreef Project status and drilling budget to confirm the necessity of the raised capital.
- Check subsequent filings to determine if any shares have actually been sold under the Sales Agreement and the total gross proceeds generated.
- Confirm the Company's current cash position and working capital requirements to evaluate the urgency of this financing.
