Event Summary

Copper production was down 51% and Gold production was down 28% compared to the first quarter of 2025, attributed to lower grades, recoveries, and throughput. The company also announced the repeal of its advance notice policy, which will affect director nominations at its upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders.
