"On January 18, 2024, the Company announced that the MARN approved the Permit Amendment to change the mining method from the existing permitted underground development to surface mining development. On August 20, 2023, Bernardo Arévalo of the Semilla party won the presidential runoff election. Bernardo Arévalo was formally inaugurated as the new president on January 14, 2024. Following the change in government, Arévalo's administration announced a review of all recent approvals by the previous government which included forming an inter-ministerial committee to audit Cerro Blanco and investigate the recent approval of the amendment to the environmental permit. The audit concluded within the first quarter and Cerro Blanco was found to be in compliance with Guatemalan law. Subsequent to the audit concluding, a new Minister of the MARN was appointed in April 2024 and has made several public complaints as to the internal approval process of the Permit Amendment and the Minister and Vice Minister have made public statements calling for the revocaton of the Permit Amendment. The complaints are within the MARN and not against the Company and it is the Company’s view that the MARN does not have a legal basis to revoke the Permit Amendment, and the Company would legally defend its acquired rights if necessary."
