CARLYLE COMMODITIES CLOSES $2,855,000 IN TRANCHE 1 OF ITS PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED FINANCING IN CONNECTION WITH PROPOSED TRANSACTION WITH SILVER PONY RESOURCES

Carlyle Commodities Corp. has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $2,855,000 through the issuance of 285.5 million subscription receipts at a price of one cent (20 cents on a postconsolidation basis) per subscription receipt. The private placement was conducted in connection with Carlyle's proposed business combination with Silver Pony Resources Corp. as previously announced by Carlyle on Dec. 31, 2025. As previously announced, Carlyle intends to consolidate its common shares in connection with the transaction on a basis of 20 preconsolidation shares for one postconsolidation share. The company anticipates closing the balance of the private placement next week.

"We are pleased to have successfully completed this initial tranche of our financing in support of the proposed transaction with Silver Pony," commented Morgan Good, president and chief executive officer of Carlyle. "This funding begins to provide us with the resources in order to rapidly advance the Trout Lake projects, subject to closing of the transaction, and well positions the company to move forward with a focused exploration program and an enhanced treasury."

Each subscription receipt will automatically convert into one unit of Carlyle (for no further consideration and without any further action by the holders thereof) upon all conditions for the closing of the transaction being satisfied or waived. Each unit will consist of one common share of Carlyle and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Carlyle. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of Carlyle at an exercise price of 1.5 cents (30 cents on a postconsolidation basis) per warrant share for a period of 18 months following the date on which the escrow release condition is satisfied, subject to adjustment in certain events. The expiry date of the warrants may be accelerated if the closing price of the shares on any Canadian stock exchange equals or exceeds 2.5 cents (50 cents on a postconsolidation basis) for five consecutive trading days. In such event, Carlyle may, within 15 business days following the occurrence of that condition, accelerate the expiry date of the warrants by issuing a news release, in which case the warrants will expire on the date that is 30 calendar days after the date of such news release, as specified therein.

The net proceeds of the private placement will be held in escrow pending satisfaction of the escrow release condition. In the event the escrow release condition is not satisfied or waived within 180 days following the closing date of the private placement, the net proceeds of the private placement will be returned to the subscribers in accordance with the terms of the subscription receipts.

If the escrow release condition is met, Carlyle anticipates that the net proceeds will be used for exploration work on Silver Pony Resources' Trout Lake projects and general working capital.

In connection with the private placement, Carlyle: (i) paid to certain eligible finders an aggregate cash commission of $128,000; and (ii) issued to certain finders an aggregate of 12.8 million finders' warrants. Each finder's warrant is exercisable into one unit of the company at an exercise price of one cent for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance. Each finder's unit is composed of one share and one-half of one warrant. Each full finder's unit warrant is exercisable into one share at an exercise price of 1.5 cents per share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance. All securities issued in connection with the private placement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
