Initial one-time setup is estimated at roughly $92M, driven primarily by targeted land/mineral purchases, insurance/indemnification reserves, contingency R&D seed funding and heavy technical/hardening work. Recurring annual costs are ~ $19.8M/year, dominated by staff wages, an insurance replenishment reserve, operator liaison payments and amortized activation-response costs.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates derive from analyst-provided ranges and program-level assumptions; many line items have wide ranges and depend heavily on posture (purchase of land/mineral rights, size of reserves, operator cooperation), so totals are indicative but not precise.
