CARLYLE COMMODITIES ANNOUNCES UPSIZE AND CLOSING OF SECOND
TRANCHE FOR AGGREGATE PRIVATE PLACEMENT PROCEEDS OF $3,750,000 IN
CONNECTION WITH PROPOSED TRANSACTION WITH SILVER PONY RESOURCES
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
January 30th, 2026
Vancouver, British Columbia - Carlyle Commodities Corp. (CSE:CCC, FSE:BJ4) (“Carlyle”) is pleased to
announce that, further to its news release of January 23, 2026 , it has upsized its previously announced
non-brokered private placement (the “ Private Placemen t”) to aggregate gross proceeds of up to
$3,750,000 and has closed the second and final tranche thereof. Under the second tranche, Carlyle issued
104,500,000 subscription receipts (the “ Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $0.01 ($0.20 on a post -
Consolidation basis) per Subscription Receipt, for additional gross proceeds of approximately $1,045,000
In total, Carlyle raised aggregate gross proceeds of $3,750,000 under the Private Placement. The Private
Placement was conducted in connection with Carlyle’s proposed business combination (the “Transaction”)
with Silver Pony Resources Corp. (“Silver Pony”). As previously announced, Carlyle intends to consolidate
its common shares in connection with the Transaction on a basis of 20 pre-consolidation shares for 1 post-
consolidation share (the “Consolidation”).
Carlyle Chief Executive Officer and Director, Mr. Morgan Good, commented: “Obviously we are excited at
the level of investor interest in this offering and to close it so swiftly. Many interested investors
unfortunately were not able to participate as the Company was mindful of dilution while strengthening its
balance sheet to support upcoming exploration activities and broader corporate initiatives.
Each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert into one unit of Carlyle ( a “Unit”) (for no further
consideration and without any further action by the holders thereof) upon all conditions for the closing of
the Transaction being satisfied or waived (the “Escrow Release Condition”). Each Unit will consist of one
common share of Carlyle (each a “Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Carlyle
(each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional
common share of Carlyle (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $0.015 ($0.30 on a post-Consolidation
basis) per Warrant Share for a period of 18 months following the date on which the Escrow Release
Condition is satisfied, subject to adjustment in certain events. The expiry date of the Warrants may be
accelerated if the closing price of the Shares on any Canadian stock exchange equals or exceeds $0.025
($0.50 on a post-Consolidation basis) for five consecutive trading days. In such event, Carlyle may, within
15 business days following the occurrence of that condition, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by
issuing a news release, in which case the Warrants will expire on the date that is 30 calendar days after
the date of such news release, as specified therein.
The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be held in escrow pending satisfaction of the Escrow
Release Condition. In the event the Escrow Release Condition is not satisfied or waived within 180 days
following the closing date of the Private Placement, the net proceeds of the Private Placement will be
returned to the subscribers in accordance with the terms of the subscription receipts. If the Escrow Release
Condition is met, Carlyle anticipates that the net proceeds will be used for exploration work on the Silver
Pony Resources Trout Lake Projects and general working capital.

In connection with the second tranche, Carlyle : (i) paid to certain eligible finders an aggregate cash
commission of $51,200; and (ii) issued to certain finders an aggregate of 6,960,000 finder’s warrants (each
a “ Finder’s Warrant”). Each Finder’s Warrant is exercisable into one unit of the Company (a “ Finder’s
Unit”) at an exercise price of $0.01 ($0.20 on a post-Consolidation basis) for a period of 18 months from
the date of issuance. Each Finder’s Unit is comprised of one Share and one-half of one warrant (a “Finder’s
Unit Warrant”). Each full Finder’s Unit Warrant is exercisable into one Share at an exercise price of $0.015
($0.30 on a post -Consolidation basis) per share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance. In
total, Carlyle paid aggregate cash commissions of $176,000 and issued an aggregate of 19,440,000 Finder’s
Warrants under the Private Placement. All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are
subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
The Company also wishes to clarify that its news release of January 23, 2026, inadvertently stated that it
had raised $2,855,000 in the first tranche; the correct amount raised in the first tranche was $2,705,000.
