What FINRA's processing of the Form 211 means
Before FINRA processed the Form 211, RITE common stock carried the "Unsolicited Quotes Only" designation, under which quotations were limited to those representing unsolicited customer orders. On November 6, 2026, OTC Markets removed the "This security is eligible for Unsolicited Quotes Only" warning from RITE's profile page. OTC Markets has informed the Company that the "Unsolicited Quotes Only" designation shown under Quote Eligibility for RITE on the OTC Markets site will be removed on the trading day after the Sponsor publishes its first priced quotation. Other broker-dealers may also quote RITE common stock to the extent permitted by Rule 15c2-11.
FINRA's processing of a Form 211 relates solely to the Sponsor's compliance with FINRA Rule 6432 and SEC Rule 15c2-11, and is not to be deemed an approval of the Company, its securities, or its business. Each brokerage firm sets its own policies regarding the securities it will accept and the orders it will handle. There can be no assurance that any broker-dealer will publish or continue to publish quotations for RITE common stock, or that an active or liquid trading market will develop or be sustained.
Corporate and business milestones since October 2023
FINRA's processing of the Form 211 follows a series of corporate and business milestones completed since James Burgauer assumed management of the Company in October 2023, including:
February - March 2024 - Acquired the worldwide rights to brand, build and sell the Goldfield brand of gold mining equipment, including the Prospector, Explorer and Goldtron Tables product lines and their blueprints, together with the remaining equipment, inventory, spare parts and tools formerly used in the business of Goldfield International, Inc.
September 2024 - Released financial statements for fiscal years 2022 and 2023 audited by a PCAOB-registered independent accounting firm. The Company's financial statements for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 have also been audited by the same PCAOB-registered independent accounting firm.
December 2024 - Acquired, from NMC, Inc., Peeples Inc., which holds the Arizona State Land Department mineral lease covering the previously processed tailings at the Skull Valley project in Arizona, and California Precious Metals LLC, which holds 17 BLM mining claims comprising the Silver Valley and La Escondida properties in California.
February 2025 - Filed a Form 10 registration statement with the SEC to become a fully reporting company. Engaged its investment banker and sponsoring broker-dealer.
March 2025 - Obtained the Alberta Securities Commission's revocation of a cease-trade order that had been in place since 2013.
April 2025 - FINRA completed its processing of the corporate action related to the Company's redomicile to Texas.

September 2026 - Repurchased approximately 3.9 million Series NMC Preferred shares from a related party, reducing potential dilution by approximately 2 billion common-equivalent shares compared with exercise of the Series NMC warrants without a repurchase, and capped the total amount payable under the Series NMC sinking fund at approximately $269 million.
November 2026 - The Sponsor informed the Company that FINRA had processed the Form 211 filed by the Sponsor under SEC Rule 15c2-11, and OTC Markets removed the "This security is eligible for Unsolicited Quotes Only" warning from RITE's profile page.
Work in progress
Several key business initiatives remain under way, including:
Skull Valley Phase 2: the drilling and sampling program is currently scheduled to begin in mid-November 2026 under the supervision of the Company's Qualified Person, with drilling expected to be completed in early December.
Asset development: the Company continues to explore ways to realize value from its Arizona mineral lease and California mining claims, and to evaluate additional remediation and resource-recovery opportunities involving previously processed materials, which management believes can reduce environmental impact compared with greenfield mining.
Financing and new business: the Company continues to evaluate new business opportunities, including the development of a precious metals business, and to obtain financing on terms management believes are appropriate.
Management Commentary
"With FINRA's processing of the Form 211, we have completed the corporate cleanup we set out to do when I took over the Company in October 2023," said James Burgauer, President and CEO of MineralRite Corporation. "Even as we were completing that work, we registered as a Crafted Precious Metals Dealer in our home state of Texas, successfully onboarded the Company with multiple refineries, and set up our RITE Precious Metals LLC subsidiary. Skull Valley remains front and center for us. Our independent Qualified Person is overseeing the Phase 2 program, and our goal is a technical report that meets the SEC's S-K 1300 standards. As we have from day one, we will keep shareholders informed of our progress through our Investor Relations page and our other public disclosures, including our SEC filings."
