Huge global music chain closes all stores, liquidates
For a long time it seemed like sellers of musical instruments had a sort of immunity from the internet. Consumers liked to go to a store and physically hold, and even play, an instrument before buying it. Many musicians made this a sort of ritual. They might go and play a handful of instruments over multiple weeks before making the decision to buy. Related: Huge auto parts company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy That's still the case, but long-standing musical instrument chains like Sam Ash died a slow death from a thousand paper cuts. In many cases, they still served as the front-facing part of the industry where people came to play before they bought. The problem is that over time, they lost sales on accessories, sheet music, and other items to digital retailers. And, in the biggest kick in the teeth, they would sometimes provide all the labor that led to a high-priced instrument sale, only for the customer to make the actual purchase online. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter That's similar to what was happening to Best Buy over a decade ago, but that chain had the size needed to add free delivery and compete with Amazon on price. Digital music stores have lower expenses and can offer lower prices. That's something brick-and-mortar chains can't offer, and another global leader has abruptly shut down. At its height, Sam Ash had stores all over New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The company had an online presence, but that was secondary to its brick-and-mortar locations, which were active with people playing music and testing instruments. That ended in 2024 when the Ash family could not find funding to continue operations after it filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Now, the chain exists in name only and it not longer operates stores. "As of September 2024, Sam Ash Music is now officially part of the Gonher Music Group, the largest distributor of musical instruments and professional sound equipment in Mexico. Gonher's expertise in customer service, logistics, and vendor relations will help streamline Sam Ash's online shopping experience," the company shared on its website. More closings: Popular local Dairy Queen rival suddenly closing, no bankruptcyAnother big Mexican chain closing down restaurant, no bankruptcyUPS suddenly closing more stores amid chaotic new change, layoffsPopular fast-food burger chain closes all restaurants in key area Basically, a new owner is using the Sam Ash name to front its U.S. operation. This trend is not unique to Sam Ash or the United States. Earlier this year, Bax Music, one of Europe's largest musical instrument retailers, filed for bankruptcy and abruptly ceased operations. The company blamed the Covid pandemic, which has likely played a key part in this growing trend. Now, another big global player has fallen. PMT Music, one of the largest music retailers, was placed into administration and closed all of its stores. The news was sudden and the resolution happened with little fanfare. The company did not go through a prolonged bankruptcy in the way a U.S. company might. Instead, it was quickly sold to Gear4music for roughly $3.26 million. It seems like even the acquiring company understands how jarring this might be for customers. "We're sorry – the website you were trying to visit is no longer active. S&T Audio Limited trading as 'PMT Play Music Today' ('PMT') entered administration on 11 June 2025 and is no longer trading. We understand this might come as a surprise," it posted. The new owner tried to calm customers and offer them support. "While PMT is no longer operating, we want to ensure you still have a reliable place to turn where you can find the products you were interested in, get support if you need it, and continue shopping with confidence, and hence you've been redirected to Gear4music," it added. The new owner also provided a longer statement about what it has purchased. Related: Troubled retailer puts 100s of stores at risk after drastic move "Certain assets, including some stock, branding, and websites, have been sold to Gear4music Limited. The original company, however, still legally exists and remains responsible for its liabilities, but may not have funds to meet them," it posted. "Gear4music has purchased certain stock, together with certain intangible assets including websites and trademarks from the Administrators of PMT." Gear4Music has plans to use the PMT name.

Bunker Hill Announces Updates to Equity Financings and Major Capital Restructuring
KELLOGG, Idaho and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bunker Hill Mining Corp. ('Bunker Hill' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: BNKR |OTCQB: BHLL) is pleased to announce total funding of US$10.3 million, including a cash order book for its previously announced brokered private placement that has reached a gross amount of approximately US$6.5 million, and additional debt settlement and equity payments totaling US$3.8 million. In addition, the Company announces certain updates to the overall financing initiative and capital restructuring as described in prior announcements on March 6, 2025 and March 25, 2025. The capital restructure is anchored by an equity investment by Teck Resources Limited ('Teck'), and includes the conversion into equity of certain outstanding debt, and the modification of certain existing royalty and stream financing arrangements with Sprott Streaming and Royalty Corp. (together with its affiliates, 'Sprott Streaming'). 'The total equity funding amount reaching above the minimum US$10 million is a welcome milestone along the path to delivering the major capital restructuring plans announced earlier in the year,' said Sam Ash, Bunker Hill's President and CEO. 'We look forward to working with regulators and shareholders to close this transaction in the coming weeks'. Projected Highlights on Final Closing: 40% reduction in total debt, 58% reduction in gross revenue royalty costs and 22% improvement on debt-to-total capitalization ratio, leading to significant improvement in asset resilience. Liquidity raised is expected to be sufficient to advance the total project to 85% completion in Q4 2025, with the processing plant 100% complete and starting its commissioning, UG development 100% complete with ore being stockpiled to support commissioning and ramp up, and the tailings filter press 50% complete with all major equipment installed. To bring the operation to sustainable free cash flow in H1 2026, the Company intends, with the support of strategic investors, to raise an additional US$30 million of equity by the end Q4 2025 to enable a robust ramp up to nameplate production of 1,800tpd. Equity Financing Developments In connection with the previously announced brokered private placement (the 'Brokered Offering') led by BMO Capital Markets, CIBC Capital Markets and Red Cloud Securities Inc., as joint bookrunners, and National Bank Financial Inc. (collectively, the 'Agents'), the Company intends to issue up to 62,086,187 units of the Company ('Units') at a price of US$0.1051 (C$0.15) per Unit (the 'Offering Price'), for aggregate consideration of up to approximately US$6.5 million. In connection with the Brokered Offering, Bunker Hill intends to grant the Agents an option, exercisable by the Agents in whole or in part at any time up to 48 hours before the closing date of the Brokered Offering, to increase the size of the Brokered Offering by up to 9,312,928 additional Units at a price of US$0.1051 (C$0.15) per additional Unit for additional aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately US$977,857 (the 'Agents' Option'). As previously announced, in a concurrent non-brokered private placement (the 'Non-Brokered Offering' and, together with the Brokered Offering, the 'Offerings'), Teck has agreed to contribute US$2.00 for every US$1.00 raised in the Brokered Offering and pursuant to the Debt Settlements and Equity Payment Agreement (each as defined herein and further described below), for a lead order of up to 209,523,809 Units at the Offering Price for aggregate consideration of up to approximately US$22,000,000 (assuming a maximum aggregate funding amount of US$11,000,000 comprised of proceeds from the Brokered Offering, Debt Settlements and Equity Payment Agreement (the 'Funding Amount'). Furthermore, in connection with the Brokered Offering, the Company is pleased to announce a lead order by Sprott Streaming for 10,000,000 Units (the 'Sprott Units'). Each Unit issued under the Offerings will consist of one share of common stock (a 'Common Share') and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (a 'Warrant'), with each whole Warrant exercisable for one additional Common Share (a 'Warrant Share') at a price of C$0.25 per Warrant Share for a period of three (3) years following the date of issuance. Separately, Sprott Streaming intends to transfer up to 30,000,000 Common Shares to certain investors who subscribe for and purchase Units under the Brokered Offering. Sprott Streaming is independently making such Common Shares available to such investors in support of the Brokered Offering on a private basis and in recognition of current equity market conditions, and will not receive any direct or indirect consideration or compensation for doing so. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offerings to support the construction, start-up and ramp-up of the Bunker Hill Zinc-Silver-Lead Mine in the Silver Valley, Idaho (the 'Project'). The closing of the Offerings remains subject to stock exchange and regulatory approvals and, in the case of the Non-Brokered Offering, a minimum Funding Amount of US$10 million, receipt of the Stockholder Consent (as defined below), closing of the Debt Restructuring Transactions (as defined below), and other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance as to whether or when either or both of the Offerings may be completed, either on the terms previously announced, described herein or at all. Standby Facility Developments The Company and Teck have agreed that the previously announced uncommitted revolving standby prepayment facility of up to US$10 million (the 'SP Facility'), to be provided by Teck to the Company at closing of the Non-Brokered Offering, will bear interest at a rate of 13.5% per annum until June 30, 2027 and a rate equal to 15.0% per annum thereafter, calculated and capitalized quarterly. The SP Facility will be available to the Company, until the earlier of (i) June 30, 2028, or (ii) the date on which the Project hits 90% of name plate capacity or on the date on which the Company is cashflow positive for a quarter, unless terminated earlier by Teck. The SP Facility is to be secured by a security interest over all assets, properties and undertaking of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Silver Valley Metals Corp ('Silver Valley') in form and scope similar to the security held by Sprott Streaming, with certain security to be held on a first priority basis. No bonus securities of the Company will be issued to Teck in connection with the SP Facility, nor is the SP Facility convertible into securities of the Company. Offtake Amendments As announced in the Company's news release dated March 6, 2025, the Company has agreed to amend certain offtake agreements previously entered into with respect to the Project. In connection with the Non-Brokered Offering, the parties intend to amend the existing zinc offtake agreement (with an effective date of November 10, 2023) and the lead concentrate offtake agreement (with an effective date of November 20, 2023) between Teck and Silver Valley, pursuant to which, among other amendments, the offtake under each respective agreement will apply to life-of-mine production rather than the current 5-year term. Short-Term Bridge Financing As previously disclosed, the Company and Teck agreed to a US$3.4 million unsecured promissory note (the 'Promissory Note'). The Promissory Note ensures sufficient short-term funding until the Offerings close and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with such interest being capitalized and added to the principal amount outstanding monthly under the Promissory Note. The Promissory Note is available in multiple advances, at the discretion of Teck, and is payable by the Company in cash on demand from Teck. The full principal amount of $3.4 million has been advanced under the Promissory Note to the Company. No bonus securities of the Company will be issued to Teck in connection with the Promissory Note, nor is the Promissory Note convertible into securities of the Company. Equity Payment to C&E Tree Farm, L.L.C. Silver Valley and C & E Tree Farm, L.L.C ('C&E') previously entered into an option agreement dated March 3, 2023 (the 'Option Agreement'), pursuant to which Silver Valley has an option to purchase certain real property in Idaho, USA, from C&E upon making a cash payment of US$3,129,500, subject to adjustment for lease payments made pursuant to a commercial lease agreement between the parties. The Company wishes to satisfy a portion of the purchase price payable under the Option Agreement through the issuance of equity securities. Subject to the prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the 'TSX-V'), the Company, Silver Valley and C&E intend to enter into an equity payment agreement (the 'Equity Payment Agreement'), pursuant to which the Company will issue 4,761,905 Units at a deemed price of US$0.105 per Unit in satisfaction of US$500,000 of the purchase price payable under the Option Agreement. Each Unit issued pursuant to the Equity Payment Agreement will consist of one Common Share and one-half of Warrant, with each whole Warrant exercisable for one additional Warrant Share at an exercise price of C$0.25 per Warrant Share for a period of three (3) years following the date of issuance. Additional Debt Settlement Further to the Company's news release dated March 25, 2025, the Company intends to settle outstanding receivables and other amounts owing (including, where applicable, accrued and unpaid interest thereon) in the aggregate amounts of up approximately US$3,072,254 and C$195,000 with certain creditors, insiders and contractors of the Company or Silver Valley through the issuance of equity securities at the Offering Price. The Company intends to enter into debt settlement agreements with such creditors, insiders and contractors, concurrently with the closing of the Offerings (collectively, the 'Debt Settlements'), in order to preserve its cash for the potential restart and ongoing development of the Project. The Debt Settlements remain subject to prior approval of the TSX-V. In connection with the Debt Settlements, the Company proposes to issue up to: 761,904 Units to MineWater LLC ('MineWater'), as further described herein; 4,642,857 Common Shares to Sprott Streaming, as further described herein; 257,379 Common Shares to four directors of the Company for their services for the period beginning on March 1, 2025 and ending on April 30, 2025 (collectively, the 'Director Services'). Given that the amounts owed for the Director Services exceed the limits under the TSX-V policies in respect of debt settlements to non-arm's length parties (being a maximum of C$5,000 per person and, in the aggregate, C$10,000 per issuer), the Company will be seeking shareholder approval for the issuance of Common Shares to these Directors prior to issuance; and 30,302,181 Units to certain other arm's length creditors or contractors of the Company. Each Unit issued pursuant to the Debt Settlements will consist of one Common Share and one-half Warrant, with each whole Warrant exercisable for one additional Warrant Share at an exercise price of C$0.25 per Warrant Share for a period of three (3) years following the date of issuance. In accordance with the policies of the TSX-V, non-arm's length parties of the Company will receive Common Shares in lieu of Units in connection with the Debt Settlements. MineWater Financing Cooperation Fee The Company and Silver Valley are parties to an agreement re financing cooperation dated September 27, 2022 (the 'Cooperation Agreement') by and among the Company, Silver Valley, MineWater, MineWater Finance LLC and MW HH LLC (collectively, the 'MineWater Parties'). The Cooperation Agreement provides for, among other things, the MineWater Parties providing certain collateral security (the 'Collateral Security') to Indemnity National Insurance Company ('INIC') in order for the Company and Silver Valley to obtain certain surety bonds from INIC with respect to the Bunker Hill Mine. In consideration for the Collateral Security, the Company is required to pay MineWater, on behalf of the MineWater Parties, a financing cooperation fee of US$20,000 per month, payable quarterly in arrears, during the term of the Cooperation Agreement. The Company and Silver Valley propose to enter into a debt settlement agreement with MineWater in respect of the outstanding Cooperation Fee for the period beginning on January 1, 2025 and ending on April 30, 2025, being US$80,000. Pursuant to the terms of the debt settlement agreement, and subject to prior acceptance of the TSX-V, the Company and the MineWater Parties intend to settle the outstanding Cooperation Fee at a deemed price equal to the Offering Price and on substantially the same terms as the Offerings described above. The Company proposes to issue 761,904 Units in full and complete settlement and satisfaction of the outstanding Cooperation Fee for the period ending April 30, 2025. Each Unit issued pursuant to the Equity Payment Agreement will consist of one Common Share and one-half of Warrant, with each whole Warrant exercisable for one additional Warrant Share at an exercise price of C$0.25 per Warrant Share for a period of three (3) years following the date of issuance. Debt Restructuring Developments In connection with the previously announced debt restructuring transactions (the 'Debt Restructuring Transactions' and, together with the Offerings, the 'Transactions'), the Company now intends to issue, on a private placement basis, an aggregate of up to 263,690,476 Common Shares (collectively, the Sprott Shares') at the Offering Price to Sprott Streaming (excluding the securities issuable to Sprott Streaming under the Brokered Offering), as follows: up to 59,047,619 Common Shares upon Sprott Streaming's conversion of up to US$6,200,000 (which amount consists of US$6,000,000 principal and up to US$200,000 of accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to May 31, 2025) (the 'Loan Advance') outstanding under the existing senior secured loan agreement in the aggregate principal amount of US$21 million (the 'Debt Facility') previously advanced by Sprott Streaming; 200,000,000 Common Shares which, together with the previously announced (x) issuance of two (2) senior secured Series 3 convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of US$4 million and (y) grant of the New Royalty (as defined below), are being issued to Sprott Streaming in exchange of the termination of the metals purchase agreement (the 'Metals Purchase Agreement') dated June 23, 2023 between the Company, Silver Valley and Sprott Streaming pursuant to which Sprott Streaming advanced the US$46 million deposit to Silver Valley; and 4,642,857 Common Shares in full satisfaction of an aggregate of US$487,500 of accrued and unpaid interest owing under certain outstanding secured convertible debentures of the Company for the period beginning on January 1, 2025 and ending on March 31, 2025. As noted above, the Company intends to grant an additional 1.65% life-of-mine gross revenue royalty (the 'New Royalty') on the Land Package (as defined below). The New Royalty will apply to the primary and secondary claims comprising the Project (the 'Land Package'), as well as any new or complementing surface and mineral rights derived from the surface and mineral rights within the existing boundaries of the Land Package that are subsequently acquired by the Company or Silver Valley. The Company also now intends to pay Sprott Streaming a cash fee of US$2 million, payable at maturity of the Debt Facility on June 30, 2030, as additional consideration for the conversion and exchange of the Loan Advance. As previously disclosed, Sprott Streaming and the Company intend to amend and restate the Debt Facility to (i) fix the sliding scale royalty (the 'Second Royalty') issued in connection with advances thereunder at 1.5% for both the primary and secondary claims comprising the Project, and (ii) cancel the royalty buyback option granted to the Company thereunder, which amendments shall also be reflected in an amendment to the Second Royalty. In addition, the parties will be amending the Debt Facility to include an option, at the election of the Company, to settle any accrued and unpaid interest by issuing Common Shares, subject to the prior approval of the TSX-V. Additionally, in connection with the Transactions, the Company and Silver Valley intend to enter into (i) an amendment to the secured promissory note purchase agreement dated August 8, 2024, as previously amended by a first amendment to secured promissory note purchase agreement dated November 11, 2024 (the 'MM NPA'), and (ii) an amendment to the secured promissory note dated August 8, 2024 (the 'MM Note'), each with Monetary Metals Bond III LLC ('Monetary Metals') to, amongst other things, (i) reduce the rate at which advances under the MM NPA bear interest from 15% to 13.5% per annum, (ii) clarify the calculation of the cash flow sweep, (iii) extend the availability date for advances thereunder from January 31, 2025 to June 30, 2025, and (iv) in connection with any further advances, provide for the issuance of bonus warrants in such number and on such terms as to be agreed upon between the parties before issuance and subject to prior approval of the TSX-V. In any event, the number of bonus warrants issued or issuable to Monetary Metals will not exceed, in the aggregate, the maximum of 3,000,000 allowable under the MM NPA. The MM NPA and the MM Note are secured by security interests over all assets, properties and undertaking of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Silver Valley in form and scope similar to the security held by Sprott Streaming and the security to be held by Teck. Pursuant to existing security arrangements, the Company has granted security interests to Sprott Streaming, Monetary Metals, and MineWater Parties over all of the assets, properties and undertakings of the Company and Silver Valley. In connection with the existing security and intercreditor arrangements among Sprott Streaming, Monetary Metals, the MineWater Parties and the Company, the parties intend to amend such arrangements to (i) reflect the termination of the Metals Purchase Agreement and other applicable Debt Restructuring Transactions; (ii) defer certain royalty payments and restrict early principal prepayments on certain outstanding debt obligations of the Company so long as amounts are outstanding under the SP Facility, as described above; (iii) allow for the first priority security in favour of Teck over certain inventory and accounts receivable in connection with the SP Facility; and (iv) to account for Teck under such arrangements. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the Debt Restructuring Transactions may be completed, either on the terms previously announced, described herein or at all. Stockholder Consent As previously announced, the Company expects that Teck and Sprott Streaming will each own greater than 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares following the closing of the Transactions and therefore each will become a Control Person (as defined in the TSX-V policies). As at the date hereof, Sprott Streaming holds, directly or indirectly, approximately 42,149,875 Common Shares, or approximately 11.7% of the outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, as well as warrants to purchase an additional 3,000 Common Shares and secured debentures convertible into up to an aggregate of approximately 98,332,299 Common Shares2 (based on the principal amount only); if Sprott Streaming were to exercise all of its warrants and convert the full principal amount of its debentures, it would hold an aggregate of 140,485,171 Common Shares, or approximately 30.7% of the outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis; Teck beneficially holds, directly or indirectly, approximately 23,784,723 Common Shares, or approximately 6.6% of outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, as well as warrants to purchase an additional 2,951,389 Common Shares; and if Teck were to exercise all of its warrants, it would hold an aggregate of 26,736,112 Common Shares, or approximately 7.4% of the outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis. Assuming the completion of (i) the maximum offering amount under the Brokered Offering (excluding the exercise of the Agents' Option), including the maximum number of Sprott Units, (ii) the maximum offering amount under the Non-Brokered Offering, and (iii) the issuance of the maximum number of Sprott Shares in connection with the Debt Restructuring Transactions, the Company expects that: Sprott Streaming will hold, directly or indirectly, approximately 305,840,348 Common Shares, or approximately 32.8% of the then outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, as well as warrants to purchase an additional 5,003,000 Common Shares and secured debentures convertible into up to an aggregate of approximately 228,571,429 Common Shares (based on the principal amount only); if Sprott Streaming were to exercise all of its warrants and convert the full principal amount of its debentures then held, it would hold an aggregate of 539,414,777 Common Shares, or approximately 41.0% of the outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis; Teck will hold, directly or indirectly, approximately 233,308,533 Common Shares, or approximately 25.1% of the then outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, as well as warrants to purchase an additional 107,713,294 Common Shares; and if Teck were to exercise all of its warrants then held, it would hold an aggregate of 341,021,826 Common Shares, or approximately 32.8% of the outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis. In accordance with the TSX-V policies, the approval of the Company's stockholders will be required with respect to Teck and Sprott Streaming each becoming a Control Person. In lieu of a special meeting of its stockholders, the Company intends to obtain the written consent of disinterested stockholders holding more than 50% of the current issued and outstanding Common Shares (the 'Stockholder Consent'), which Stockholder Consent will exclude any votes held by Teck, Sprott Streaming and their respective Affiliates or Associates (each as defined in the TSX-V policies). The Company also intends to rely on the Stockholder Consent to satisfy the required approvals for the previously announced (i) amendment and restatement of the Company's articles of incorporation, (ii) the amendments to the existing royalties held by Sprott Streaming on certain claims comprising the Land Package, and (iii) the grant of the New Royalty to Sprott Streaming. Related Party Transactions Each of the Debt Restructuring Transactions with Sprott Streaming and the issuance of Units or Common Shares under the Brokered Offering to Sprott Streaming and certain directors and officers of the Company, constitute a 'related party transaction' within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ('MI 61-101'). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under Sections 5.5(g) and 5.7(e) under MI 61-101 related to the financial hardship of the Company.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those risks and uncertainties identified in public filings made by Bunker Hill with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the '') and with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities, and the following: Bunker Hill's ability to consummate the Transactions on the terms described herein or at all; Bunker Hill's ability to obtain the Stockholder Consent; Bunker Hill's ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions, including with respect to the Debt Restructuring Transactions; Bunker Hill's ability to use the net proceeds of the Offerings in a manner that will increase the value of stockholders' investments; the dilution to current stockholders as a result of the consummation of the Offerings and the issuance of Common Shares under the Debt Restructuring Transactions; Bunker Hill's ability to operate as a going concern and its history of losses; Bunker Hill's inability to raise additional capital for project activities, including through equity financings, concentrate offtake financings or otherwise; the fluctuating price of commodities; capital market conditions; restrictions on labor and its effects on international travel and supply chains; failure to identify mineral resources; further geotechnical work not supporting the continued development of the Project or the results described herein; failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; the Company's ability to raise sufficient project financing, on acceptable terms or at all, to restart and develop the Project and the risks of not basing a production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability, resulting in increased uncertainty due to multiple technical and economic risks of failure which are associated with this production decision including, among others, areas that are analyzed in more detail in a feasibility study, such as applying economic analysis to resources and reserves, more detailed metallurgy and a number of specialized studies in areas such as mining and recovery methods, market analysis, and environmental and community impacts and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit, with no guarantee that production will begin as anticipated or at all or that anticipated production costs will be achieved; the Company requiring additional capital expenditures than anticipated, resulting in delays in the expected restart timeline; failure to commence production would have a material adverse impact on the Company's ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund operations; failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company's cash flow and future profitability; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals; political risks; changes in equity markets; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future; the inability of the Company to budget and manage its liquidity in light of the failure to obtain additional financing, including the ability of the Company to complete the payments pursuant to the terms of the agreement to acquire the Project complex; inflation; changes in exchange rates; fluctuations in commodity prices; delays in the development of projects; and capital, operating and reclamation costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry.
