The net proceeds of the sale of the HD Shares will be used for exploration of the Company’s properties and general corporate purposes.

The Company shall use the gross proceeds raised from the Non-Critical Charity Flow-Through Shares and the Critical Charity Flow-Through Shares to incur, after the closing date and on or prior to December 31, 2026, “Canadian exploration expenses” (as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (“CEE”) and, in the case of Critical Charity Flow-Through Shares, such CEE shall also qualify as “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures” (as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (together, the “Qualifying Expenditures”).

The Offered Securities will be offered for sale on a private placement basis in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The HD Shares may be offered in the United States pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (“U.S. Securities Act”) and internationally as permitted.

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.
