During the period ended May 31, 2024, no options were granted.

During the period ended May 31, 2024, total unexercised supplier warrants of 6,684,563 expired.

11 Warrants

As part of the fundraise completed during April 2022, all participating shareholders received a warrant on 1:1 basis for shares acquired. As a result, 73,195,560 warrants have been issued. All un-exercised warrants expire after a period of 2 years from grant date. During April 2024, all unexercised warrants issued in April 2022 expired.

12 Basic and diluted loss per share

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year

The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the basic earnings per share, adjusted to allow for the issue of shares, on the assumed conversion of all dilutive share options.

An adjustment for the dilutive effect of share options in the current year has not been reflected in the calculation of the diluted loss per share, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive, due the Company recognising a loss for the year.

On 1 July 2024, the Company announced a new Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") at the Company's 100% owned Basin Project in Arizona, USA.
