  • Proceeds have been received, allowing the company to focus on operations in other regions and substantially reduce overhead costs.

  • Liabilities removed:
  • Past‑due accounts payable – ~US $60,000
  • Remaining labor claim in Mexico – ~US $56,000
  • Asset retirement obligation on the Rodeo mining concession – book liability ~US $450,000
