of Arrangement with Gold X2 Mining

VANCOUVER, B.C., November 26, 2025: Gold X2 Mining Inc. (TSXV: AUXX / OTCQB: GSHRF / FWB: 8X00)

(“Gold X2 ”) and Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV:KES; OTCQB: KS SRF) (“Kesselrun”) are pleased to

the Arrangement.

Under the Arrangement, Gold X2 will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Kesselrun shares. In

consideration therefore, each one Kesselrun share will be exchanged for approximately 0.2152 of one

common share (each whole common share, a “Gold X2 Share”) in the capital of Gold X2, and approximately

$0.0213 in cash. Each outstanding stock option of Ke sselrun will entitle the holder, upon exercise or

settlement, to receive the number of Gold X2 Shares that such holder would have been entitled to receive

pursuant to the Arrangement, had the security been exercised or settled immediately prior to the effective

date of the Arrangement.

Shareholders holding a total of 55,219,208 Kesselrun shares were represented in person or by proxy at the

Meeting, representing 58.70% of the 94,071,837 issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote as of

October 15, 2025, the record date for the Meeting. The Arrangement required the approval of at least two-

thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and en Ɵtled to

vote at the Meeting. Of the votes cast at the Meetin g, 99.89% of the votes cast by Shareholders were in

favour of the Arrangement.

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for a

transaction of this nature, including receipt of approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). Subject

to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the closing conditi ons, it is expected that the Arrangement will be

completed shortly. In connection with completion of the Arrangement, it is expected that Kesselrun shares

will be delisted from the TSXV.
