On the Effective Date, the new ISIN number for the common shares of the Company will be CA74984K1003 and the new CUSIP number will be 74984K100.

As there will be no consolidation of the Company's share capital in connection with the name change, shareholders will not be required to exchange their existing share certificates for new certificates bearing the Company's new name. The name change will not affect the Company's share structure, or the rights of the Company's shareholders and no action will be required to be taken by shareholders with respect to the name change. Outstanding common share and warrant certificates will not be affected by the name change and do not need to be exchanged. Along with the name change, the Company has modified its logo and launched a new website which can be accessed at https://www.rpxgold.com/. The name change is subject to the final approval of the TSXV and the receipt of all regulatory approvals.

The Company has determined to proceed separately with an amendment to the articles of the Company to delete the class of Preference Shares and confirm the terms of the common shares, as approved by the shareholders of the Company on January 21, 2026.
