In May, DTRC entered into a merger agreement with JR Resource Corp., which is its largest investor (The combined entity will be called Dakota Gold Corp.). If the merger does not get completed in a timely manner, it may impact DTRC’s shares, business and financial condition. While this merger is pending, DTRC remains exposed to certain business uncertainties and contractual restrictions.
Additionally, any future litigation may prevent this merger from occurring or adversely affect the company. If the merger is not completed on or before December 31, 2021, either of the parties may terminate the agreement.
