Q & A Highlights

Q: Are you exposed to the current tariff discussions, and how are you addressing investor concerns about it? A: Lon Shaver, President: We are not exposed to the tariff discussions as we sell all our concentrates to smelters within the country. Once the metals leave our mine site in concentrate form and we've been paid, we have no further exposure. We are not exporting anything from China, except cash in the form of dividends. However, if tariffs impact global economic activity and metals prices, we could be indirectly affected like any other miner.
