Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 14, 2024, the Superior Court for the State of Alaska in Fairbanks, Alaska (the “Superior Court”) denied the motion for preliminary injunction filed on November 2, 2023 by the Committee for Safe Communities (“CSC”), an Alaskan non-profit corporation inclusive of certain vacation home owners along the Manh Choh ore haul route and others claiming potential impact and objecting to the ore haul plan and project.

 

On October 20, 2023, CSC filed suit in the Superior Court against the State of Alaska, Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (the “DOT”), seeking injunctive relief with respect to CSC’s oversight of the Peak Gold LLC’s (the “Peak Gold JV”) ore haul plan. The complaint alleges that the DOT has approved a haul route and trucking plan for the Manh Choh project that violates DOT regulations, DOT’s actions have created an unreasonable risk to public safety constituting an attractive public nuisance, and DOT has aided and abetted the offense of negligent driving. The Peak Gold JV filed a motion to intervene in this lawsuit, which was granted on November 15, 2023.

 

Contango Ore, Inc. is a 30% owner of the Peak Gold JV, which operates the Manh Choh project mine near Tok, Alaska. Ore from the mine is being trucked to the Fort Knox mill for processing via public roadways in state-of-the-art trucks carrying legal loads.
