Initial one-time capital of approximately $3.57M to retrofit Site-L9 and install equipment; steady-state annual operating costs are roughly $6.16M driven primarily by staff wages, veterinary care, consumables, and the contractual POI payment (plus owner compensation if triggered). Major additional risk drivers are contingent exhumation/forensics and large-scale owner payout exposures.
