As of closing on November 12, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), the Company will be issuing 42,139,400 units (the "Units"), at a price of $0.10 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant, each whole warrant (the "Warrants") entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share, exercisable for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance at a price of $0.20 per share.

The Warrants are subject to an expiry acceleration provision that if, over a period of 10 consecutive trading dates, commencing four months from the date of issuance, the share price exceeds $0.30 then the Company may give notice in writing within 30 days of such occurrence to the holders that the Warrants shall expire at an accelerated expiry time unless previously exercised by the holder.

Proceeds raised will be used toward expenditures required to advance the permitting of the Kinsley Mountain gold property in Nevada, securing the necessary permits to commence preliminary exploration work on the Troy Canyon property, also in Nevada, and general working capital purposes.

The Company was exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Insiders' participation in the Private Placement pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Units to be issued to, nor the consideration paid by the Insiders exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
