Discontinued Operations

At the end of August, 2023, the Company’s long-term third party closed mines services contract came to an end. Following the termination of this contract and during the fourth quarter, the Company determined that it would cease providing such third party care and maintenance services for closed mines and reorganized the business accordingly.

The Company’s post-closure mine care and maintenance services were previously reported in a Closed Mines services segment which now constitutes a discontinued operation. The consolidated statement of income (loss) for the discontinued operation for 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

Revenue Concentration

Until September 2023, the Company’s business was such that, at any given time, it sold its environmental and other services to a relatively small number of customers. During 2023, one customer from the discontinued operations (Closed Mines Services) segment and one customer from the Mining segment accounted for approximately 100% of total revenues consisting of 78%, and 22% respectively. During 2022, one customer from the discontinued operations segment and two customers from the Mining segment accounted for approximately 100% of total revenues consisting of 47%, and 53% respectively.

Revenue Commitments

The Company is contracted to pay onward to Ecora all toll milling cash proceeds received from the MLJV related to the processing of specified Cigar Lake ore through the McClean Lake mill (see note 12). The timing and amount of such future toll milling cash proceeds are outside the control of the Company.
