(“Haywood”), as co-lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, on its own behalf and on behalf of Research Capital Corporation, as co-lead underwriter (together with Haywood, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a “bought deal” private placement basis, (i) 22,223,000 common shares (the “Non-FT Shares”) of the Company at a price of C$0.090 per Non-FT Share (the “Non-FT Issue Price”), and (ii) any combination of (A) tranche 1 flow-through shares (the “Tranche 1 FT Shares”) of the Company at a price of C$0.105 per Tranche 1 FT Share (the “Tranche 1 FT Issue Price”), and (B) tranche 2 flow-through shares (the “Tranche 2 FT Shares” and together with the Non-FT Shares and Tranche 1 FT Shares, the “Offered Shares”) of the Company at a price of C$0.126 per Tranche 2 FT Share (the “Tranche 2 FT Issue Price”), such that the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company equal at least C$7,000,000 (the “Offering”).

The Company has granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Offering in any combination of (i) Non-FT Shares at the Non-FT Issue Price, (ii) Tranche 1 FT Shares at the Tranche 1 FT Issue Price, and (iii) Tranche 2 FT Shares at the Tranche 2 FT Issue Price (the “Underwriters’ Option”), exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing date.

The gross proceeds from the sale of Tranche 1 FT Shares and Tranche 2 FT Shares will be used by the Company to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that will qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”) related to the Company’s projects in Ontario. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the Tranche 1 FT Shares and Tranche 2 FT Shares effective December 31, 2024. The net proceeds from the sale of Non-FT Shares will be used by the Company for general working capital and corporate purposes, and for exploration at the Wawa Gold Project in Ontario.

The Offering is expected to close on or about October 1, 2024 and is subject to certain closing conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the conditional listing approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) and the applicable securities regulatory authorities. The Offering is being made by way of private placement in Canada. The securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering. The Offering is subject to final acceptance of the TSXV.

In consideration for its services, the Company has agreed to pay the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering and that number of non-transferable compensation options (the “Compensation Options”) as is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Offered Shares sold under the Offering. Each Compensation Option is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at a price equal to the Non-FT Issue Price for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
