between three arms-length individuals as Vendors and Bold as the Optionee of the property.
On July 3, 2023, the Company and the Vendors entered into a First Amending Agreement (the

). Subsequently, on April 19, 2024, the Vendors and
Bold entered into a Third Amending Agreement (the "
Burchell Third Amendment
") and together with
the Burchell First Amendment and Burchell Second Amendment, (the "
Amended Burchell Option
Agreement
") to further amend the Burchell Option Agreement and Burchell First Amendment and

The Vendors and Bold have now signed a Fourth Amending Agreement (the "
Burchell Fourth

") amending the Amended Burchell Option Agreement such that the Option can be
exercised by the issuance of an aggregate of 2,600,000 common shares of Bold ("
Shares
"), 1,000,000
Shares of which have already been issued, the payment of an aggregate of $100,000 in cash (reducing
the cash consideration from $500,000), $40,000 of which has already been paid, and expending
$700,000 on exploration (reducing the exploration expenditure from $1,500,000), none of which
expenditures have been made.
In consideration for the entering into the Burchell Fourth Amendment, the Vendors will be paid $10,000
and issued 200,000 Shares following receipt of regulatory approval to the Burchell Fourth Amendment.
The following are the new schedules of cash payments, Share issuances and expenditure requirements:
A cash payment of $10,000 will be due on August 31, 2025;

Amendment increases the cost of Bold's right to buy back half (1.5%) of the 3% NSR from $2,000,000 to
$2,500,000 leaving a 1.5% NSR in favour of the Vendors. The Company also has the right of first refusal
to purchase the remaining 1.5% NSR.

of at least 250,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent and approved by all necessary regulatory
authorities, the Vendors shall be paid the additional sum of $150,000. If a National Instrument 43-101
Technical Report is prepared on the Property with an indicated resource of at least 500,000 ounces of
