Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2023

Information on the Company, page 52

1.
We understand from your responses to prior comments one through four regarding the economic assessment underlying your estimates of mineral resources that your 0.4% cutoff grade reflects the concentration of mineralization that is expected to be processed and is consistent with establishing the prospects of economic extraction when based on your estimates of future commodity prices, and estimates of future mining and processing costs, as provided in Table 2 on page 10 of your response.

We also note that such pricing and unit cost assumptions are not apparent from the disclosures on page 44 of your amended Form 20-F, concerning a "revenue cost break even calculation" which indicates that your cut-off grade has been calculated assuming historical 2017 to 2021 annual average prices, and operating cost estimates of $3.00/t ROM mining, $3.00/t ROM processing, $0.40/t ROM transport, and $0.90/t ROM general and administrative costs. There are similar disclosures on page 24 of the technical report summary, regarding the pricing and costs related to your 0.4% THM cut-off grade.

Please confirm that you will provide disclosures in your upcoming annual report on Form 20-F, and in an update to the technical report summary to explain how the 0.4% cut-of grade is correlated with your economic assessment, including your estimates of future prices and costs, as provided in Table 2 on page 10 of your response.
