Thanks profs.
Here is the email I have sent to the company. Once I receive a reply, I will share it here with the board.

I hope you are well.
I am writing as a shareholder to request a clearer operational update on the Rare Earth Elements (REE) exploration programme at the Arapuá Project, particularly in light of the RNS dated 19 June 2025 and the subsequent announcement on 30 September 2025.
While the September update outlined the broader strategic framework and described the project as being at an early stage, it did not appear to confirm the execution status of the RC drilling programme previously expected to commence in Q3, run for approximately 30–45 days, and be followed by assay results shortly thereafter. Greater clarity on progress would be greatly appreciated.
Specifically, I would be grateful if you could provide guidance on the following points:
Did the RC drilling programme begin as scheduled, and has it now been completed? If plans changed, could you explain the rationale?
How many metres have been drilled at Arapuá during 2025 to date?
Have laboratory assay results been received, and when might shareholders reasonably expect an update?
If timelines have shifted, could you outline the reasons and provide a revised schedule?
What are the immediate next steps in the REE exploration strategy, and is Arapuá currently being prioritised within the company’s project portfolio?
From a strategic perspective, what resource scale or TREO grade range would management consider necessary for Arapuá to progress toward a potentially economic standalone project?
The June announcement described the programme as a high-impact, low-cost initiative, and I believe shareholders would welcome more concrete visibility on execution, milestones, and the pathway toward resource definition. I fully appreciate that certain details may be commercially sensitive; however, any measurable guidance you can provide would help investors better understand the project’s trajectory.
Thank you for your time and transparency. I look forward to your response.
Kind regards,
