PATRIOT RESOURCES CORP. ANNOUNCES CSE CONDITIONAL APPROVAL, FILING OF LISTING STATEMENT AND INFORMATION CIRCULAR, AND SHAREHOLDER MEETING TO APPROVE ITS CHANGE OF BUSINESS

Patriot Resources Corp. has received conditional approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange to list its common shares in connection with its previously announced acquisition of the Liberty Ridge property in Elko county, Nevada, from Tungsten Eagle Development Corp., an arm's-length party, as described in the company's news releases dated Feb. 2, 2026, March 27, 2026, and April 21, 2026. The transaction constitutes a fundamental change within the meaning of CSE Policy 8 (Fundamental Changes and Changes of Business).

In connection with the transaction, the company has filed on its profile on SEDAR+: (i) a listing statement in the form of CSE Form 2A dated effective Aug. 31, 2026; (ii) a management information circular dated Aug. 20, 2026, prepared in connection with the annual general and special meeting of shareholders described below, together with the notice of meeting and form of proxy; and (iii) a technical report with an effective date of June 24, 2026, entitled "Technical Report, Liberty Ridge Property, Elko County, Nevada, USA," prepared by Darcy J. Christian, PGeo, a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects).

Shareholders are urged to read the information circular and the listing statement in their entirety, including the risk factors set out in the listing statement under the heading risk factors.

The transaction

The transaction will be effected pursuant to an option agreement to be entered into between the company and TEDC immediately prior to closing of the transaction, pursuant to which the company will acquire a 100-per-cent interest in 269 contiguous unpatented Bureau of Land Management lode mining claims covering approximately 5,351 acres in Elko county, Nevada, which claims are held by Silver Tungsten Discoveries Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of TEDC. A copy of the form of the option agreement is appended to the information circular as Schedule A.

The consideration payable under the option agreement consists of an aggregate of up to 20 million shares and up to 20 million share purchase warrants, issuable to TEDC or its nominees in stages tied to exploration expenditures on the property as follows:

  • On closing, the company will issue five million shares and five million consideration warrants;
  • Subject to the necessary permits being granted, within one year of closing, the company will incur not less than $500,000 in exploration expenditures on the property, focused on obtaining the necessary permits and executing the work program set out in the technical report;
  • If the company is satisfied with the results of the first program (in its sole discretion, acting reasonably), the company will, within one year of closing, issue seven million shares and seven million consideration warrants;
  • If the company has made the second issuance, the company will, subject to the necessary permits being granted, within two years of closing incur a further not less than $1-million in exploration expenditures on the property in respect of a maiden drill program; and
  • If the company is satisfied with the results of the final program (in its sole discretion, acting reasonably), the company will issue eight million shares and eight million consideration warrants.

Each consideration warrant will be exercisable for one postconsolidation (as defined below) share at a price of 50 cents per share for two years from the date of grant. The company may at any time, in its sole discretion, issue all of the shares and consideration warrants, and the corresponding expenditure requirements will be deemed satisfied. The company is not obligated to complete the first program or the final program, nor to make the second issuance or the final issuance, if the results of the applicable program do not meet its expectations, in its sole discretion.

The company will also grant to TEDC (or its nominee) a 2-per-cent net smelter return royalty on the property, on the terms of a royalty agreement to be agreed between the parties. The royalty agreement will provide that the company may purchase 1 per cent of the NSR royalty for $1-million (U.S.) and the remaining 1 per cent for a further $1-million (U.S.) at any time.

The option agreement may be terminated: (i) by mutual written agreement; (ii) by the company, in its absolute discretion, at any time prior to each of the first issuance, second issuance and final issuance if it is not satisfied with the results of the corresponding exploration program, effective 10 days after written notice to TEDC; (iii) automatically, if the CSE rejects the transaction or the consolidation and all rights of appeal have been exhausted; and (iv) automatically, on an uncured material breach by either party of its representations, warranties or covenants.

TEDC deals at arm's length with the company. The consideration payable under the option agreement was established as a result of arm's-length negotiations between the company and TEDC. TEDC will continue to operate independently of the company following closing.

Delisting, consolidation and name change

Prior to and as a condition of closing, the company will complete the following steps, in the following order:

  1. The voluntary delisting of the shares from the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.9 (Trading Halts, Suspensions and Delisting);
  2. A change of the company's name to Tungsten Eagle Development Corp. or such other name as may be determined by the company and accepted by the applicable regulatory authorities; and
  3. A consolidation of the shares on the basis of one postconsolidation share for every two preconsolidation shares.

Completion of the delisting is subject to the final approval of the TSX-V. Completion of the consolidation, the transaction and the listing of the shares on the CSE are subject to the final approval of the CSE. The delisting and the transaction are also subject to the approval of the board of directors, the shareholders of the company and the board of directors of TEDC.

The shares have been halted from trading since Jan. 30, 2026, in connection with the transaction and will remain halted until such time as permitted under the policies of the TSX-V and the CSE.

Concurrent financing

In connection with the transaction, the company will complete a concurrent non-brokered private placement financing of a minimum of 10 million and a maximum of 11 million units at a price of 50 cents per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of $5-million and a maximum of $5.5-million.

Each unit will consist of one share and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole concurrent financing warrant will be exercisable to acquire one share at a price of $1 per share for two years from the date of issuance, subject to acceleration provisions in favour of the company. The units will not be subject to the consolidation. The concurrent financing will close concurrently with closing and is subject to the approval of the CSE.

The company will pay cash finders' fees of 7 per cent of the gross proceeds raised from investors introduced by certain brokers. As at the date of the listing statement, the aggregate amount payable to such brokers was $193,500.

All shares and concurrent financing warrants issued pursuant to the concurrent financing, and all shares and consideration warrants issued to TEDC under the option agreement, will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws. Upon listing, none of the securities of the company will be subject to escrow.

In addition, all shares issued under the concurrent financing will be subject to a voluntary contractual restriction on trading, under which such shares will become unrestricted as to: (i) 30 per cent on the date that is four months from issuance; (ii) a further 30 per cent on the date that is eight months from issuance; and (iii) the remaining 40 per cent on the date that is 12 months from issuance.

The company will announce the final amount of the concurrent financing by way of a subsequent news release on closing.

Annual general and special meeting

The company has called an annual general and special meeting of its shareholders to be held at 11 a.m. Vancouver time on Sept. 21, 2026, at 20th floor, 885 West Georgia St., Vancouver, B.C. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting is Aug. 19, 2026. As at the record date, there were 86,226,758 shares issued and outstanding, each carrying one vote.

At the meeting, in addition to receiving the audited financial statements of the company for the financial year ended Dec. 31, 2025, and the report of the auditor thereon, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass ordinary resolutions:

  1. Fixing the number of directors of the company at five and electing each of Fiona Keating, Avrom E. Howard, Ryan Cheung, Dominic Stann and Jason Latkowcer as directors;
  2. Appointing Charlton & Company as auditor of the company and authorizing the directors to fix the auditor's remuneration;
  3. Reapproving the company's existing rolling 10-per-cent stock option plan and authorizing the company to grant options thereunder;
  4. Approving the transaction, including the acquisition of the Liberty Ridge property and the listing of the shares on the CSE, which constitutes a fundamental change under CSE Policy 8;
  5. Authorizing the company to apply to voluntarily delist the shares from the NEX board of the TSX-V in accordance with TSX-V Policy 2.9; and
  6. Approving the adoption of a 10-per-cent rolling omnibus equity incentive plan providing for the grant of stock options, restricted share units, performance share units and deferred share units, conditional upon and effective as of completion of the transaction, which plan is intended to replace the company's existing stock option plan.

Each of the matters to be acted upon at the meeting is an ordinary resolution requiring the approval of a majority of the votes cast in respect of that resolution by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. In addition, pursuant to CSE Policy 8 and TSX-V Policy 2.9, each of the transaction approval resolution and the delisting resolution must be approved by a majority of the votes cast excluding the votes attaching to shares held by promoters, directors, officers and other insiders of the company. To the knowledge of management, there were 309,157 excluded shares as at the record date. The transaction can only proceed if each of the transaction approval resolution and the delisting resolution is passed.

Shareholders are not entitled to dissent rights under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) in respect of any of the matters to be considered at the meeting. Proxies must be deposited with Endeavor Trust Corp. no later than 11 a.m. Vancouver time on Sept. 17, 2026, or at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. Non-registered holders should provide voting instructions by the earlier deadline specified by their intermediary. Beneficial shareholders located in the United States must also obtain a valid legal proxy from their intermediary and submit it to Endeavor Trust by the same deadline, as more particularly described in the information circular.

Shareholders are encouraged to review the information circular and the listing statement carefully and to vote their shares in advance of the proxy deadline.

The Liberty Ridge property

The property comprises 269 contiguous unpatented BLM lode mining claims covering 5,351 acres (2,165.5 hectares, or 21.65 square kilometres) in Elko county, northeastern Nevada -- a top-tier North American mining jurisdiction with established infrastructure and a well-defined permitting framework. The property consolidates a contiguous, district-scale land position over an area with a documented history of tungsten mineralization dating to the 1950s. The property is prospective for intrusive-related, contact-skarn tungsten mineralization, together with peripheral silver and molybdenum occurrences, as described in the technical report.

Historical exploration

The Liberty Ridge property has been the recipient of exploration efforts going back to the discovery of tungsten mineralization in the Indian Springs area during the 1950s, including companies such as Placer Amex, Union Carbide, Utah International and, most recently, Galway Resources (2005 to 2008). Historical drilling records across the Liberty Ridge property are incomplete; however, available data indicate that the tungsten-bearing intrusive system characteristic of the district continues in outcrop, and possibly subcrop, onto the Liberty Ridge property in a number of directions, together with the contact skarn and associated alteration zones that host tungsten mineralization in the area. Additionally, within and peripheral to the documented intrusive outcrop areas on the Liberty Ridge property are a number of molybdenum and silver occurrences (and one artisanal-scale historical silver mine), together with a heretofore unexplained arsenic anomaly, potentially indicative of a peripheral epithermal mineral system.

Additional details may be found in the technical report.

Phase 1 work program

Tungsten Eagle, on behalf of the company, recently completed a reconnaissance exploration program, comprising a preliminary program of lithogeochemical (rock) and soil sampling across the property, the latter comprising 2,171 samples. Both rock and soil sample results have confirmed the historical documentation of anomalous levels of tungsten and related elements at a number of locations across the property. Details may be found in the technical report.

More recently, the company has secured a drilling permit from the BLM in respect of 27 drill sites over priority target areas on the property where historical drill data suggest the potential for additional tungsten mineralization. Planned drill holes will target priority historical drill locations to confirm historical results and then test areas on strike and downdip. Concurrently, a phase 2 field program will be undertaken, comprising more detailed geological, structural and alteration mapping, along with sampling, based on an understanding of the known tungsten mineral system in the immediate area and the critical lithological, structural and alteration features associated with it.

Liberty Ridge is an early-stage exploration property. No mineral resource or mineral reserve has been established on the property, and there is no certainty that exploration on the property will result in the delineation of a mineral resource or mineral reserve or in an economically viable operation.

Tungsten market context

Tungsten is designated a critical mineral by the U.S. Geological Survey and is essential to defence and advanced manufacturing supply chains, including munitions, aerospace, semiconductors and carbide tooling. Global supply is highly concentrated: China controls an estimated 80 per cent of world tungsten supply and, beginning in February, 2025, imposed export controls on tungsten citing national security grounds. The United States produces virtually no tungsten domestically and remains majority import-reliant.

U.S. policy has moved decisively to address this dependence. In January, 2026, the White House directed action on the national security implications of reliance on imported critical minerals, and, in February, 2026, the U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium solicited proposals to expand domestic supply of tungsten and other critical minerals. The company believes the property is well positioned to participate in this growing focus on secure, United States-based tungsten supply.

Management commentary

"Receiving conditional approval from the CSE and filing our listing statement and information circular are significant steps toward completing this transaction," said Ms. Keating, chief executive officer of Patriot.
