that, due to significant investor demand, it has increased the maximum gross proceeds of its previously

Company from the sale of the Charity FT Shares to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that

will qualify as "flowthrough mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Tax Act.

focused investors in this capital raise. This capital will fully fund our 2026 exploration program and

help accelerate our progress towards an initial mineral resource estimate at JD,"

subject to the approval of the TSXV. Eventus Capital Corp. has been appointed as a Finder in

connection with the Private Placement. The Securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be

subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.
