Toronto, Ontario – April 23, 2026 – Fox Tungsten Ltd. (“ Fox Tungsten” or the “ Company”) (TSXV: FOXT) is
pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced “bought deal” private placement offering
consisting of an aggregate of (i) 6,100,000 hard dollar units of the Company (the “Hard Dollar Units”) at a price
of C$0.165 per Hard Dollar Unit (the “Hard Dollar Unit Issue Price”) and, (ii) 48,875,000 charity flow-through units
of the Company (the “ Charity FT Units”) at a price of C$0.24 per Charity FT Unit (the “ Charity FT Unit Issue
Price”), including partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option of 6,875,000 Charity FT Units, for
aggregate gross proceeds of C$12,736,500 (the “Offering”). The Hard Dollar Units and the Charity FT Units will
be referred to herein as the “Offered Securities”.
The Offering was conducted by Stifel Canada as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, on behalf of a syndicate
of underwriters including PowerOne Capital Markets Limited and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (collectively, the
“Underwriters”). In consideration for the services provided by the Underwriters, the Company paid the
Underwriters an aggregate cash commission of C$823,845.91. As additional consideration for their services, the
Underwriters were also issued an aggregate of 3,566,128 broker warrants (the “Broker Warrants”). Each Broker
Warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of C$0.165 per share until April 23,
2029.
Each Hard Dollar Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “Share”) plus one-half of one common
share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “ Warrant”). Each Charity FT Unit will
consist of one Share of the Company plus one-half of one Warrant, each of which will qualify as a “flow-through
share” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to
purchase one Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C$0.22 until April 23, 2029.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Hard Dollar Units for advancing the exploration
of the Company’s Fox Tungsten Project as well as other exploration projects and for working capital and general
corporate purposes.
The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the Charity FT Units, pursuant to
the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as
"flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)
and, in respect of Charity FT Units purchased by eligible British Columbia purchasers, "BC flow-through mining
expenditures" within the meaning of subsection 4.721(1) of the Income Tax Act (British Columbia), in each case
in connection with the Company’s project located in British Columbia (the " Qualifying Expenditures"). The
Company will incur such Qualifying Expenditures on or before December 31, 2027, and will renounce all
Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the Charity FT Units with an effective date not later than
December 31, 2026.
