The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund ongoing exploration and development activities on its True North Gold Project, technical studies, and for working capital purposes, as will be more particularly described in the Prospectus.

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about July 14, 2026 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the securities regulatory authorities.
