Cash flow, liquidity and capital resources

The company is a resource exploration-stage company, does not generate any revenue and has been mainly relying on equity-based financing to finance its operations. As at June 30, 2023, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $22,299,409 (Dec. 31, 2022: $9,535,039) and a net working capital balance of $20,625,323 (Dec. 31, 2022: $6,642,161). During the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $12,564,688 (2022: $7,097,220), cash used in investing activities was $13,284,658 (2022: $327,894) and cash provided by financing activities was $39,443,854 (2022: $20,173,000). Cash used in investing activities was primarily related to the acquisition of the Mercer Ranch on March 7, 2023.

The company will need to raise additional financing to finance its day-to-day operations and to enable the company to achieve its long-term business objectives. On Feb. 14, 2023, the company completed an equity-based financing of $39,999,760 to finance its operations.

The company will require additional financing either through equity or debt financing, sale of assets, joint venture arrangements, or a combination thereof to meet its administrative costs and to continue to explore and develop its resource properties. There is no assurance that sufficient future financing will be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the company. As such, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
