“Third Amending Agreement”) to the net smelter return royalty agreement dated August 11,
2025, as amended on August 27, 2025, and October 2, 2025 (the “Royalty Agreement”).
The Third Amending Agreement expands the Royalty Agreement to include fluorspar properties

smelter return royalty (“Royalty”) on minerals produced and sold from the mineral properties
included in the Royalty Agreement (the “ Properties”), subject to a minimum of US$6 per tonne
of minerals sold.
In consideration, Oracle Commodity Holding has agreed to pay USF, upon TSX Venture
Exchange (“TSXV”) approval of the Royalty Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, non-
refundable cash payments equal to 20% of the cash consideration that USF has paid, pays, or
will pay to various vendors to acquire the Properties under various agreements (the “ Matching
Payments”). For clarity, Oracle Commodity Holding is only required to make Matching Payments

The full terms of the Royalty Agreement, as amended, are set out in the Company’s news releases
