Cash flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $7,922,544 (2022 - $2,637,637), cash used in investing activities was $13,538,439 (2022 - $91,443), and cash provided by financing activities was $39,174,354 (2022 - $103,000). Cash used in investing activities was primarily related to the acquisition of the ranch on March 6, 2023.

The Company is a resource exploration stage company and does not generate any revenue and has been mainly relying on equity- based financing to fund its operations. As at March 31, 2023, the Company had a net working capital of $26,327,806 (December 31, 2022 - $6,642,161). The Company will need to raise additional funding to finance its day-to-day operations and to enable the Company to achieve its long-term business objectives. On February 14, 2023, the Company completed an equity-based financing of $39,999,760 to fund its operations.

The Company will require additional financing either through equity or debt financing, sale of assets, joint venture arrangements, or a combination thereof to meet its administrative costs and to continue to explore and develop its resource properties. There is no assurance that sufficient future funding will be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. As such, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
