Advanced all three phases of the development plan, including the largest drill program in company history and refurbishment of the Lone Tree facility.
Strengthened leadership with new board members with mining, finance, and capital markets expertise.
Financial highlights

Gross profit reached $16.1 million, up from $2.9 million, setting a new company record.
