DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES
Vancouver, B.C. – NorthIsle Copper and Gold Inc. (TSXV: NCX, OTCQX:NTCPF) (“NorthIsle” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Paradigm Capital Inc. (“Paradigm”) as lead agent and
sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of agents (collectively, the “Agents”), in connection with a ”best efforts”
private placement financing (the “Brokered Offering”) for total proceeds of up to approximately $25,002,747,
consisting of up to 9,338,000 common shares of the Company that qualify as “flow-through shares” (within the
meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the “CFT Shares”) to be issued to subscribers at a price
of $1.6065 per CFT Share, and up to 9,525,000 common shares of the Company (the “Non-FT Shares” and together
with the CFT Shares, the “Offered Shares”) at a price of $1.05 per common share.
In addition, the Company has granted the Agents an option (the “Agents’ Option”) to sell additional Offered Shares at
the same issue prices for additional aggregate gross proceeds of up to $3,750,412, exercisable not later than 48 hours
prior to the Closing Date (as defined below). The term “Offering” includes the additional Offered Shares that may be
issued on the exercise of the Agents’ Option, if any.
The Offering is anticipated to include participation from new and existing fundamental institutional investors and
existing cornerstone shareholders.
Concurrent to the Brokered Offering, the Company will conduct a non-brokered private placement of 4,762,000 Non-FT
Shares at a price of $1.05 per common share to raise up to C$5,000,100 (the “Non-Brokered Offering”). Wheaton
Precious Metals Corp. has indicated its intention to subscribe in the Non-Brokered Offering subject to entering into a
right of first refusal agreement with Northisle, to be negotiated in good faith, and certain other conditions.
The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the CFT Shares
to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that qualify as “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures” as
such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Critical Minerals Qualifying Expenditures”). The Company
will incur the Critical Minerals Qualifying Expenditures on or before December 31, 2026, and renounce (on a pro rata
basis) all such expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the CFT Shares with an effective date no later than
December 31, 2025 in accordance with the Income Tax Act (Canada). The proceeds from the sale of the Non-FT Shares
will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes as described in the offering document for the Offering.
Closing is expected to occur on or about August 8, 2025, or other such date as the Company and the Agents may agree
(the “Closing Date”). The Offering is subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange
(the “TSXV”).
The Offered Shares will be offered for sale to purchasers resident in Canada, except Quebec, pursuant to the listed
issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”) and in
such other jurisdictions as may be mutually agreed upon by the Agents and the Company. The Offered Shares will not
be subject a statutory hold period in Canada (except to the extent the TSXV’s four-month hold period applies). There is
