−Removed: Risks Related to Our Business
−Removed: Our business activities are subject to significant risks, including
−Removed: those described below.
−Removed: Every investor or potential investor in our securities should carefully consider these risks.
−Removed: If any of the described
−Removed: risks actually occurs, our business, financial position and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
−Removed: Such risks are
−Removed: not the only ones we face and additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also
−Removed: affect our business.
−Removed: Our ability to become a successful operating mining company is
−Removed: contingent on whether we can continue to access adequate operating capital and can ultimately mine our properties at a profit sufficient
−Removed: to finance further mining activities and to acquire and finance additional reserves, all in spite of potentially significant fluctuations
−Removed: in the market prices of uranium and vanadium.
−Removed: The Company has incurred continuing losses from
−Removed: its operations and negative operating cash flows from operations, and as of March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
−Removed: $14,335,099 and working capital of $6,849,079.
−Removed: The Company’s ability to continue its planned
−Removed: operations and to pay its obligations when they become due is contingent upon the Company obtaining additional financing.
−Removed: plans include seeking to procure additional funds through debt and equity financings, to secure regulatory approval to fully utilize its
−Removed: Kinetic Separation technology and to initiate the processing of ore to generate operating cash flows.
−Removed: If we cannot access additional sources of private or public capital,
−Removed: partner with another company that has cash resources and/or find other means of generating revenue other than uranium or vanadium sales,
−Removed: we may not be able to fully realize our planned operations.
−Removed: Until we can produce and sell sufficient amounts of uranium and/or
−Removed: vanadium, we will have no way to generate adequate cash inflows except by monetizing certain of our assets, partnering with third parties
−Removed: that are better financed or obtaining additional financing of our own.
−Removed: We can provide no assurance that our properties will produce saleable
−Removed: production or that we will be able to continue to find, develop, acquire and finance additional mineral resources.
−Removed: If we cannot monetize
−Removed: certain existing assets, partner with another company that has cash resources, find other means of generating revenue other than uranium
−Removed: or vanadium production and/or access additional sources of private or public capital, we may not be able to remain in business and our
−Removed: shareholders may lose their entire investment.
−Removed: Our ability to function as an operating mining company will be dependent
−Removed: on our ability to mine our properties at a profit sufficient to finance further mining activities and for the acquisition and development
−Removed: of additional properties.
−Removed: The volatility of uranium prices makes long-range planning uncertain and raising capital difficult.
−Removed: Our ability to operate on a positive cash flow basis will be dependent
−Removed: on mining sufficient quantities of uranium or vanadium at a profit sufficient to finance our operations and for the acquisition and development
−Removed: of additional mining properties.
−Removed: Any profit will necessarily be dependent upon, and affected by, the long and short term market prices
−Removed: of uranium and vanadium, which are subject to significant fluctuation.
−Removed: Uranium prices have been and will continue to be affected by numerous
−Removed: factors beyond our control.
−Removed: These factors include the demand for nuclear power, political and economic conditions in uranium producing
−Removed: and consuming countries, uranium supply from secondary sources and uranium production levels and costs of production.
−Removed: A significant, sustained
−Removed: drop in uranium prices may make it impossible to operate our business at a level that will permit us to cover our fixed costs or to remain
−Removed: in operation.
−Removed: Evaluating our future performance may be difficult since we have
−Removed: a limited financial and operating history, with significant negative cash flow and an accumulated deficit to date.
−Removed: Furthermore, there
−Removed: is no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional sources of capital sufficient to support our planned operations.
−Removed: such, substantial doubt exists as to whether our cash resources and working capital will be sufficient to fund our planned operations
−Removed: over the next twelve months.
−Removed: Our long-term success will depend ultimately on our ability to raise additional capital, to achieve and maintain
−Removed: operational profitability and to develop positive cash flows from our mining activities.
−Removed: As more fully described within this quarterly report, we acquired our
−Removed: first mineral properties in November of 2014.
−Removed: To date, we have been acquiring additional mineral properties and raising capital.
−Removed: uranium projects in various stages of exploration in the states of Colorado and Utah.
−Removed: As more fully described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”
−Removed: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations”, we have a history
−Removed: of significant negative cash flows and net losses, with an accumulated deficit balance of $14.3 million and $13.2 million at March 31,
−Removed: 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
−Removed: We have been reliant on royalty revenues and equity financings from the sale of our common shares
−Removed: in order to fund our operations.
−Removed: We do not expect to achieve profitability or develop positive cash flows from operations in the near
−Removed: As a result of our limited financial and operating history, including our significant negative cash flows and net losses to date,
−Removed: it may be difficult to evaluate our future performance.
−Removed: At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had working capital of
−Removed: $6,849,079 and $4,492,169, respectively.
−Removed: The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate
−Removed: additional financing.
−Removed: However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in securing any form of additional financing in the future;
−Removed: therefore, substantial doubt exists as to whether our cash resources and working capital will be sufficient to enable the Company to continue
−Removed: its operations over the next twelve months.
−Removed: The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022
−Removed: were prepared assuming that the Company would continue as a going concern.
−Removed: These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include
−Removed: any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
−Removed: Our reliance on equity and debt financings is expected to continue
−Removed: for the foreseeable future.
−Removed: The availability of such funds whenever such additional financing is required, will be dependent on many factors
−Removed: beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the market price of uranium, the continuing public support of nuclear power as a viable
−Removed: source of electricity generation, the volatility in the global financial markets affecting our stock price and the status of the worldwide
−Removed: economy, any one of which may cause significant challenges in our ability to access additional financing, including access to the equity
−Removed: and credit markets.
−Removed: We may also be required to seek other forms of financing, such as asset divestitures or joint venture arrangements
−Removed: to continue advancing our uranium projects, which would depend entirely on finding a suitable third party willing to enter into such an
−Removed: arrangement, typically involving an assignment of a percentage interest in the mineral project.
−Removed: Our long-term success, including the recoverability of the carrying
−Removed: values of our assets and our ability to acquire additional uranium projects and continue with exploration and pre-extraction activities
−Removed: and mining activities on our existing uranium projects, will depend ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and
−Removed: positive cash flow from our operations by establishing ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable uranium and to develop these into
−Removed: profitable mining activities.
−Removed: The economic viability of our mining activities has many risks and uncertainties.
−Removed: These include, but are
−Removed: not limited to:
−Removed: (i) a significant, prolonged decrease in the market price of uranium;
−Removed: (ii) difficulty in marketing and/or selling uranium
−Removed: concentrates;
−Removed: (iii) significantly higher than expected capital costs to construct the mine and/or processing plant;
−Removed: (iv) significantly
−Removed: higher than expected extraction costs;
−Removed: (v) significantly lower than expected uranium extraction;
−Removed: (vi) significant delays, reductions or
−Removed: stoppages of uranium extraction activities;
−Removed: and (vi) the introduction of significantly more stringent regulatory laws and regulations.
−Removed: Our mining activities may change as a result of any one or more of these risks and uncertainties and there is no assurance that any ore
−Removed: body that we extract mineralized materials from will result in achieving and maintaining profitability and developing positive cash flow.
−Removed: Our operations are capital intensive, and
−Removed: we will require significant additional financing to continue production at the Sunday Mine Complex, continue exploration and begin pre-extraction
−Removed: activities on our other existing uranium/vanadium projects, and acquire additional uranium/vanadium projects.
−Removed: Our operations are capital intensive and future capital expenditures
−Removed: are expected to be substantial.
−Removed: We will require significant additional financing to fund our operations, including continuing production
−Removed: at the Sunday Mine Complex, continuing exploration on our other existing projects and beginning pre-extraction activities on those projects,
−Removed: which include assaying, drilling, geological and geochemical analysis and mine construction costs, and acquiring additional uranium/vanadium
−Removed: In the absence of such additional financing, we would not be able to fund our operations, which may result in delays, curtailment
−Removed: or abandonment of any one or all of our uranium projects.
−Removed: Uranium/vanadium exploration and pre-extraction programs and
−Removed: mining activities are inherently subject to numerous significant risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ significantly
−Removed: from expectations or anticipated amounts.
−Removed: Furthermore, exploration programs conducted on our uranium/vanadium projects may not result
−Removed: in the establishment of ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable uranium/vanadium.

−Removed: Uranium/vanadium exploration is frequently non-productive due, for example, to poor exploration
−Removed: results or the inability to establish ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable uranium, in which case the uranium project may
−Removed: be abandoned and written-off.
−Removed: Furthermore, we will not be able to benefit from our exploration efforts and recover the expenditures that

−Removed: We have established the existence of mineralized materials on our uranium
−Removed: However, we have not established any measured, indicated or inferred mineral resources or any proven or probable reserves
−Removed: through the completion of a feasibility study for any of our uranium properties and we have no current plans to seek to do so, as it would

−Removed: Because the number of mills permitted for
−Removed: processing of uranium and vanadium is very limited, it may be difficult for us to gain access to a mill on favorable terms, or at all,
−Removed: and this could negatively affect our ability to do business.
−Removed: In the event that there is not a buying program

−Removed: number of mills permitted for processing of uranium and vanadium is very limited, it may be difficult for us to gain access to a mill
−Removed: on favorable terms, or at all.
−Removed: This could result in increased costs and/or significant delays in, interruption of, or cessation of the
−Removed: Company’s business activities.
−Removed: The practice of selling uranium/vanadium ore without first processing into yellowcake (U3O8) or Vanadium
−Removed: Pentoxide (V2O5) would likely generate lower revenues.
−Removed: Our ability to realize anticipated benefits of the Kinetic Separation
−Removed: process is subject to uncertainties associated with that process.
−Removed: In order to utilize Kinetic Separation to process uranium/vanadium
−Removed: bearing ore, there are uncertainties that must be addressed.
−Removed: Currently, to utilize Kinetic Separation the Company would need to either
−Removed: apply for its own milling license for a processing facility or arrange to utilize a third party’s mill, either of which would entail
−Removed: delays and associated costs.
−Removed: The Company and its regulatory counsel are continuing to seek an alternative path forward that would allow

−Removed: We do not insure against all of the risks we face in our operations.
−Removed: In general, where coverage is available and not prohibitively expensive
−Removed: relative to the perceived risk, we will maintain insurance against such risk, subject to exclusions and limitations.
−Removed: We currently maintain
−Removed: insurance against certain risks including securities and general commercial liability claims and certain physical assets used in our operations,
−Removed: subject to exclusions and limitations;
−Removed: however, we do not maintain insurance to cover all of the potential risks and hazards associated
−Removed: with our operations.
−Removed: We may be subject to liability for environmental, pollution or other hazards associated with our exploration, pre-extraction
−Removed: and extraction activities, which we may not be insured against, which may exceed the limits of our insurance coverage or which we may
−Removed: elect not to insure against because of high premiums or other reasons.
−Removed: Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that any insurance coverage
−Removed: we currently have will continue to be available at reasonable premiums or that such insurance will adequately cover any resulting liability.
−Removed: Our inability to obtain financial surety would threaten our ability
−Removed: to continue in business.
−Removed: Future financial surety requirements to comply with federal and state
−Removed: environmental and remediation requirements and to secure necessary licenses and approvals may increase significantly as future development
−Removed: and production occurs at certain of our sites in the United States.
−Removed: The amount of the financial surety for each producing property is
−Removed: subject to annual review and revision by regulators.
−Removed: We expect that the issuer of the financial surety instruments will require us to
−Removed: provide cash collateral for a significant amount of the face amount of the bond to secure the obligation.
−Removed: In the event we are not able
−Removed: to raise, secure or generate sufficient funds necessary to satisfy these requirements, we will be unable to develop our sites and bring
−Removed: them into production, which inability will have a material adverse impact on our business and may negatively affect our ability to continue
−Removed: Acquisitions that we may make from time to time could have an
−Removed: adverse impact on us.
−Removed: From time to time, we examine opportunities to acquire additional mining
−Removed: assets and businesses.
−Removed: Any acquisition that we may choose to complete may be of a significant size, may change the scale of our business
−Removed: and operations, and may expose us to new geographic, political, operating, financial and geological risks.
−Removed: Our success in our acquisition
−Removed: activities depends on our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, negotiate acceptable terms for any such acquisition, and
−Removed: integrate the acquired operations successfully with those of our Company.
−Removed: Any acquisitions would be accompanied by risks which could have
−Removed: a material adverse effect on our business.
−Removed: For example, there may be a significant change in commodity prices after we have committed

+Added: those results have not been validated by a qualified person.
+Added: do not insure against all of the risks we face in our operations.
+Added: general, where coverage is available and not prohibitively expensive relative to the perceived risk, we will maintain insurance against
+Added: such risk, subject to exclusions and limitations.
+Added: We currently maintain insurance against certain risks including securities and general
+Added: commercial liability claims and certain physical assets used in our operations, subject to exclusions and limitations;
+Added: however, we do
+Added: not maintain insurance to cover all of the potential risks and hazards associated with our operations.
+Added: We may be subject to liability
+Added: for environmental, pollution or other hazards associated with our exploration, pre-extraction and extraction activities, which we may
+Added: not be insured against, which may exceed the limits of our insurance coverage or which we may elect not to insure against because of
+Added: high premiums or other reasons.
+Added: Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that any insurance coverage we currently have will continue
+Added: to be available at reasonable premiums or that such insurance will adequately cover any resulting liability.
+Added: inability to obtain financial surety would threaten our ability to continue in business.
+Added: financial surety requirements to comply with federal and state environmental and remediation requirements and to secure necessary licenses
+Added: and approvals may increase significantly as future development and production occurs at certain of our sites in the United States.
+Added: amount of the financial surety for each producing property is subject to annual review and revision by regulators.
+Added: We expect that the
+Added: issuer of the financial surety instruments will require us to provide cash collateral for a significant amount of the face amount of
+Added: the bond to secure the obligation.
+Added: In the event we are not able to raise, secure or generate sufficient funds necessary to satisfy these
+Added: requirements, we will be unable to develop our sites and bring them into production, which inability will have a material adverse impact
+Added: on our business and may negatively affect our ability to continue to operate.
+Added: that we may make from time to time could have an adverse impact on us.
+Added: time to time, we examine opportunities to acquire additional mining assets and businesses.
+Added: Any acquisition that we may choose to complete
+Added: may be of a significant size, may change the scale of our business and operations, and may expose us to new geographic, political, operating,
+Added: financial and geological risks.
+Added: Our success in our acquisition activities depends on our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates,
+Added: negotiate acceptable terms for any such acquisition, and integrate the acquired operations successfully with those of our Company.
+Added: acquisitions would be accompanied by risks which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
+Added: For example, there may be a significant
+Added: change in commodity prices after we have committed to complete the transaction and established the purchase price or exchange ratio;
a material ore body may prove to be below expectations;
−Removed: we may have difficulty integrating and assimilating the operations and personnel of any acquired companies, realizing anticipated synergies
−Removed: and maximizing the financial and strategic position of the combined enterprise, and maintaining uniform standards, policies and controls
−Removed: across the organization;
−Removed: the integration of the acquired business or assets may disrupt our ongoing business and our relationships with
−Removed: employees, customers, suppliers and contractors;
−Removed: and the acquired business or assets may have unknown liabilities which may be significant.
−Removed: In the event that we choose to raise debt capital to finance any such acquisition, our leverage will be increased.
−Removed: If we choose to use
−Removed: equity as consideration for such acquisition, existing shareholders may suffer dilution.
−Removed: Alternatively, we may choose to finance any such
−Removed: acquisition with our existing resources.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that we would be successful in overcoming these risks or any other
−Removed: problems encountered in connection with such acquisitions.
−Removed: The uranium industry is subject to numerous stringent laws, regulations
−Removed: and standards, including environmental protection laws and regulations.
−Removed: If any changes occur that would make these laws, regulations and
−Removed: standards more stringent, it may require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated or cause substantial delays, which would have
−Removed: a material adverse effect on our operations.
−Removed: Uranium exploration and pre-extraction programs and mining activities
−Removed: are subject to numerous stringent laws, regulations and standards at the federal, state, and local levels governing permitting, pre-extraction,
−Removed: extraction, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and reclamation of the environment, protection
−Removed: of endangered and protected species, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.
−Removed: Our compliance with these requirements requires
−Removed: significant financial and personnel resources.
−Removed: The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices
−Removed: of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, may change or be
−Removed: applied or interpreted in a manner which may also have a material adverse effect on our operations.
−Removed: The actions, policies or regulations,
−Removed: or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency or special interest group, may also have a material adverse effect on
−Removed: our operations.
−Removed: Uranium exploration and pre-extraction programs and mining activities
−Removed: are subject to stringent environmental protection laws and regulations at the federal, state, and local levels.
−Removed: These laws and regulations,
−Removed: which include permitting and reclamation requirements, regulate emissions, water storage and discharges and disposal of hazardous wastes.
−Removed: Uranium mining activities are also subject to laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the
−Removed: design and use of mining methods.
−Removed: Various permits from governmental and regulatory bodies are required for mining to commence or continue,
−Removed: and no assurance can be provided that required permits will be received in a timely manner.
−Removed: Our compliance costs including the posting of surety bonds associated
−Removed: with environmental protection laws and regulations and health and safety standards have been significant to date, and are expected to
−Removed: increase in scale and scope as we expand our operations in the future.
−Removed: Furthermore, environmental protection laws and regulations may
−Removed: become more stringent in the future, and compliance with such changes may require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated or cause
−Removed: substantial delays, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations.
−Removed: To the best of our knowledge, our operations are in compliance, in
−Removed: all material respects, with all applicable laws, regulations and standards.
−Removed: We may not be able or may elect not to insure against the
−Removed: risk of liability for violations of such laws, regulations and standards, due to high insurance premiums or other reasons.
−Removed: Where coverage
−Removed: is available and not prohibitively expensive relative to the perceived risk, we will maintain insurance against such risk, subject to
−Removed: exclusions and limitations.
−Removed: However, we cannot provide any assurance that such insurance will continue to be available at reasonable premiums
−Removed: or that such insurance will be adequate to cover any resulting liability.
−Removed: We may not be able to obtain, maintain or amend rights, authorizations,
−Removed: licenses, permits or consents required for our operations.
−Removed: Our exploration and mining activities are dependent upon the grant
−Removed: of appropriate rights, authorizations, licenses, permits and consents, as well as continuation and amendment of these rights, authorizations,
−Removed: licenses, permits and consents already granted, which may be granted for a defined period of time, or may not be granted or may be withdrawn
−Removed: or made subject to limitations.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that all necessary rights, authorizations, licenses, permits and consents will
−Removed: be granted to us, or that authorizations, licenses, permits and consents already granted will not be withdrawn or made subject to limitations.
−Removed: Closure and remediation costs for environmental liabilities
−Removed: may exceed the provisions we have made.
−Removed: Natural resource companies are required to close their operations and
−Removed: rehabilitate the lands in accordance with a variety of environmental laws and regulations.
−Removed: Estimates of the total ultimate closure and
−Removed: rehabilitation costs for uranium operations are significant and based principally on current legal and regulatory requirements and closure
−Removed: plans that may change materially.
−Removed: Any underestimated or unanticipated rehabilitation costs could materially affect our financial position,
−Removed: results of operations and cash flows.
−Removed: Environmental liabilities are accrued when they become known, are probable and can be reasonably
−Removed: Whenever a previously unrecognized remediation liability becomes known, or a previously estimated reclamation cost is increased,
−Removed: the amount of that liability and additional cost will be recorded at that time and could materially reduce our consolidated net income
−Removed: in the related period.
−Removed: The laws and regulations governing closure and remediation in a particular
−Removed: jurisdiction are subject to review at any time and may be amended to impose additional requirements and conditions which may cause our
−Removed: provisions for environmental liabilities to be underestimated and could materially affect our financial position or results of operations.
−Removed: Major nuclear incidents may have adverse effects on the nuclear
−Removed: and uranium industries.
−Removed: The nuclear incident that occurred in Japan in March 2011 had significant
−Removed: and adverse effects on both the nuclear and uranium industries.
−Removed: If another nuclear incident were to occur, it may have further adverse
−Removed: effects for both industries.
−Removed: Public opinion of nuclear power as a source of electricity generation may be adversely affected, which may
−Removed: cause governments of certain countries to further increase regulation for the nuclear industry, reduce or abandon current reliance on
−Removed: nuclear power or reduce or abandon existing plans for nuclear power expansion.
−Removed: Any one of these occurrences has the potential to reduce
−Removed: current and/or future demand for nuclear power, resulting in lower demand for uranium and lower market prices for uranium, adversely affecting
−Removed: the Company’s operations and prospects.
−Removed: Furthermore, the growth of the nuclear and uranium industries is dependent on continuing
−Removed: and growing public support of nuclear power as a viable source of electricity generation.
−Removed: The marketability of uranium concentrates will be affected by
−Removed: numerous factors beyond our control which may result in our inability to receive an adequate return on our invested capital.
−Removed: The marketability of uranium concentrates extracted by us will be affected
−Removed: by numerous factors beyond our control.
−Removed: These factors include macroeconomic factors, fluctuations in the market price of uranium, governmental
−Removed: regulations, land tenure and use, regulations concerning the importing and exporting of uranium and environmental protection regulations.
−Removed: The future effects of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but any one or a combination of these factors may result in our inability
−Removed: to receive an adequate return on our invested capital.
−Removed: The only significant market for uranium is nuclear power plants
−Removed: world-wide, and there are a limited number of customers.
−Removed: We are dependent on a limited number of electric utilities that buy
−Removed: uranium for nuclear power plants.
−Removed: Because of the limited market for uranium, a reduction in purchases of newly produced uranium by electric
−Removed: utilities for any reason (such as plant closings) would adversely affect the viability of our business.
−Removed: The price of alternative energy sources affects the demand for
−Removed: and price of uranium.
−Removed: The attractiveness of uranium as an alternative fuel to generate electricity
−Removed: may be dependent on the relative prices of oil, gas, wind, solar, coal and hydro-electricity and the possibility of developing other low-cost
−Removed: sources of energy.
−Removed: If the prices of alternative energy sources decrease or new low-cost alternative energy sources are developed, the
−Removed: demand for uranium could decrease, which may result in a decrease in the price of uranium.
−Removed: The title to our mineral property interests may be challenged.
−Removed: Although we have taken reasonable measures to ensure proper title to
−Removed: our interests in mineral properties and other assets, there is no guarantee that the title to any of such interests will not be challenged.
−Removed: No assurance can be given that we will be able to secure the grant or the renewal of existing mineral rights and tenures on terms satisfactory
−Removed: to us, or that governments in the jurisdictions in which we operate will not revoke or significantly alter such rights or tenures or that
−Removed: such rights or tenures will not be challenged or impugned by third parties, including local governments, aboriginal peoples or other claimants.
−Removed: Our mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other
−Removed: things, undetected defects.
−Removed: A successful challenge to the precise area and location of our claims could result in us being unable to operate
−Removed: on our properties as permitted or being unable to enforce our rights with respect to our properties.
−Removed: Due to the nature of our business, we may be subject to legal
−Removed: proceedings which may divert management’s time and attention from our business and result in substantial damage awards.
−Removed: Due to the nature of our business, we may be subject to numerous regulatory
−Removed: investigations, securities claims, civil claims, lawsuits and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business.
−Removed: The outcome of
−Removed: these lawsuits is uncertain and subject to inherent uncertainties, and the actual costs to be incurred will depend upon many unknown factors.
−Removed: We may be forced to expend significant resources in the defense of these suits, and we may not prevail.
−Removed: Defending against these and other
−Removed: lawsuits in the future may not only require us to incur significant legal fees and expenses, but may become time-consuming for us and
−Removed: detract from our ability to fully focus our internal resources on our business activities.
−Removed: The results of any legal proceeding cannot
−Removed: be predicted with certainty due to the uncertainty inherent in litigation, the difficulty of predicting decisions of regulators, judges
−Removed: and juries and the possibility that decisions may be reversed on appeal.
−Removed: There can be no assurances that these matters will not have a
−Removed: material adverse effect on our business, financial position or operating results.
−Removed: Competition from better-capitalized companies affects prices
−Removed: and our ability to acquire both properties and personnel.
−Removed: There is global competition for uranium/vanadium properties, ore processing
−Removed: mills, capital, customers and the employment and retention of qualified personnel.
−Removed: In the production and marketing of uranium and vanadium,
−Removed: there are a number of producing entities, some of which are government controlled and all of which are significantly larger and better
−Removed: capitalized than we are.
−Removed: Many of these organizations also have substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing and distribution
−Removed: resources than we have.
−Removed: Our uranium production also competes with uranium recovered from the
−Removed: de-enrichment of highly enriched uranium obtained from the dismantling of United States and Russian nuclear weapons and imports to the
−Removed: United States of uranium from the former Soviet Union and from the sale of uranium inventory held by the DoE.
−Removed: In addition, there are numerous
−Removed: entities in the market that compete with us for properties and mills and are attempting to become licensed to operate ISR and/or underground
−Removed: mining facilities.
−Removed: If we are unable to successfully compete for properties, mills, capital, customers or employees or with alternative
−Removed: uranium sources, it could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations.
−Removed: Because we have limited capital, inherent mining risks pose a
−Removed: significant threat to us compared with our larger competitors.
−Removed: Because we have limited capital, we may be unable to withstand significant
−Removed: losses that can result from inherent risks associated with mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, flooding, earthquake,
−Removed: interruptions due to weather conditions and other acts of nature which larger competitors could withstand.
−Removed: Such risks could result in
−Removed: damage to or destruction of our infrastructure and production facilities, as well as to adjacent properties, personal injury, environmental
−Removed: damage and processing and production delays, causing monetary losses and possible legal liability.
−Removed: Our business could be harmed if we
−Removed: lose the services of our key personnel.
−Removed: Our business and mineral exploration programs depend upon our ability
−Removed: to employ the services of geologists, engineers and other experts.
−Removed: In operating our business and in order to continue our programs, we
−Removed: compete for the services of professionals with other mineral exploration companies and businesses.
−Removed: Our ability to maintain and expand
−Removed: our business and continue our exploration programs may be impaired if we are unable to continue to employ or engage those parties currently
−Removed: providing services and expertise to us or identify and engage other qualified personnel to do so in their place.
−Removed: To retain key personnel,
−Removed: we may face increased compensation costs, including potential new stock incentive grants and there can be no assurance that the incentive
−Removed: measures we implement will be successful in helping us retain our key personnel.
−Removed: If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls,
−Removed: our ability to produce accurate and timely condensed consolidated financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating
−Removed: results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.
−Removed: Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls
−Removed: and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate condensed consolidated financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and
−Removed: time-consuming effort that will need to be evaluated frequently.
−Removed: Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires public companies to conduct
−Removed: an annual review and evaluation of their internal controls, which the Company does each year.
−Removed: Our failure to maintain the effectiveness
−Removed: of our internal controls in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.
−Removed: We could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the
−Removed: price of our common shares.
−Removed: The Company may be subject to certain tax consequences in its
−Removed: business, which may increase the cost of doing business.
−Removed: The Company may not be able to structure its acquisitions to result
−Removed: in tax-free treatment for the companies or their stockholders, which could deter third parties from entering into certain business combinations
−Removed: with the Company or result in being taxed on consideration received in a transaction.
−Removed: Our business, financial condition and results of operations may
−Removed: be negatively affected by economic and other consequences from Russia’s military action against Ukraine and the international sanctions
−Removed: imposed in response to that action.
−Removed: In late February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale military attack
−Removed: The invasion significantly amplified already existing geopolitical tensions among Russia, Ukraine, Europe, NATO
−Removed: and the West, including the United States.
−Removed: In response to the military action by Russia, various countries, including the United States,
−Removed: the United Kingdom and European Union issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia.
−Removed: Such sanctions included, among other things,
−Removed: a prohibition on doing business with certain Russian companies, large financial institutions, officials and oligarchs;
−Removed: a commitment by
−Removed: certain countries and the European Union to remove selected Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications,
−Removed: or SWIFT, the electronic banking network that connects banks globally;
