COVID-19 and the U.S. response to the pandemic are significantly affecting the economy.

We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or our operations. In March 2020 we temporarily suspended operations in Kuwait and Utah due to COVID-19 government restrictions. Utah and Kuwait have since resumed site preparations for operations. We have experienced supply chain disruptions in building our Remediation Processing Centers (“RPC”) and completing certain refurbishment on our precious metal extraction machines. These suspensions have had a negative impact on our business and there can be no guaranty that we will not need to suspend operations again in the future as a result of the pandemic.
