Signed a new, more modest deal for South Mountain: MFD Investment Holdings can earn a 10% project interest by spending $1M on exploration by October 2026, and will fund 100% of the capital needed to reach small-scale production, splitting revenue 80/20 in MFD's favor until it recoups 1.5x its investment, then 50/50 -- a concrete near-term path to cash flow after the larger BeMetals option collapsed.
