The Company believes that it will be able to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter and year to date periods ended June 30, 2022 in the fourth quarter of 2022. Once its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 has been filed, the Company will hold its annual shareholder meeting, which is expected to be held before the end of the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 may be affected by the ongoing analysis of the aforementioned mineral reserve matters.
