mineral mining expenditures on the Kwyjibo Rare Earth Project (the “Project”), as detailed in the Company’s

press release dated November 18, 2025, and its lithium properties and for working capital and general

corporate purposes. The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the

Act, to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that qualify as “flow-through critical mineral mining

expenditures” as both terms are defined in the T ax Act (the “Qualifying Expenditures”) related to the

Project and its lithium properties in Quebec, Canada on or before December 31, 2027, and to renounce all

Qualifying Expenditures, the Company will indemnify each purchaser of Critical FT Shares and/or Charity

FT Units, as applicable, for the additional taxes payable to such purchaser as a result of the Company’s

failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.
