In addition, on October 14, 2021, Dakota Gold entered into an option agreement (the “Richmond Hill Option Agreement”) to acquire 100% of Barrick’s interest in the Richmond Hill Property. The Company will have 100% ownership in the Barrick Option and the Richmond Hill Properties upon exercise of their underlying options. All these properties are in the heart of the Homestake District. The individual claims, properties, options, and leases are aggregated into a single unit mining property, which we refer to as the “Black Hills Property.” On February 6, 2025, the Company announced that Barrick Gold agreed to extend the option period for both the Richmond Hill Option Agreement and the Homestake option agreements until December 31, 2028, in return for additional annual cash payments of $170,000 and $340,000, respectively, on each of March 1, 2026, March 1, 2027, and March 1, 2028. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Company's mineral properties totaled approximately $82.7 million. As of March 31, 2025, we are in the exploration stage and have not commenced amortization of our properties.
