 of rural domestic wastewater.
 
In 2022, the “Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Completing the Key Work of Comprehensively Promoting Rural Revitalization in 2022” set out that a five-year campaign to improve rural living environment should continue to be carried out. Toilets in rural areas should be upgraded based on the actual needs of farmers, and efforts should be coordinated to ensure water supply and sewage treatment. The treatment of domestic sewage in rural areas should be promoted on a case-by-case basis in accordance with local conditions. Priority should be given to sewage treatment in densely populated villages, and for those areas that are not suitable for centralized treatment, miniaturized ecological treatment and sewage resource utilization should be promoted. Efforts to control black and odorous water bodies in rural areas should be accelerated. Household waste should be reduced and classified at source, and the construction of facilities for the comprehensive disposal and utilization of organic waste in villages should be strengthened to promote the use and treatment of organic waste in situ.
 
Cybersecurity
 
As an exploration company, we have limited digital operations and our business activity to date has been identifying, acquiring, and exploring mineral properties, and we have not yet adopted formal cybersecurity risk management programs or formal processes for assessing cybersecurity risks. We understand the importance of managing material risks from cybersecurity threats and are committed, as part of our continuing growth, to implementing and maintaining an adequate information security program to manage such risks and safeguard our systems and data.
 
We currently manage our cybersecurity risk through a variety of practices that are applicable to all users of our information technology and information assets, including our employees and contractors. We use a combination of technology, policies, training, and monitoring to promote security awareness and prevent security incidents.
 
We believe we have limited exposure to cyber threats other than emails and project data storage. Financial transactions are enabled through well-stablished financial institutions and accounting and employee information storage are outsourced to an external accounting firm.
 
We have not, as of the date of this prospectus, experienced a cybersecurity threat or incident in the last three years, that materially affected or is reasonably likely to affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. However, there can be no guarantee that we will not experience such an incident in the future. For more information,
 
Our board of directors oversees cybersecurity risk as part of its role of overseeing enterprise-wide risk.
