Stuve Gold Corp. Announces Closing of Private Placement of Units and Update on Term Loan Facility
CALGARY, ALBERTA – January 8, 2026 – Stuve Gold Corp. (“ Stuve Gold” or the “ Corporation”) (TSXV:
STUV) is pleased to announce, further to its news release dated November 24, 2025, that is has completed
its previously announced non-brokered private placement and has issued 9,500,000 units (“ Units”) at a
price of $0.06 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $570,000 (the “Offering”).
Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share of the Corporation (each a “ Common Share”) and one
Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “ Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to
purchase one Common Share in the capital of the Corporation (each a “ Warrant Share”) at a price of
$0.075 per Warrant Share at any time prior to the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of
issuance of the Warrants and at a price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for the following year. The Warrants
include an acceleration provision whereby if the Common Shares trade at a 20-day volume weighted
average price (“VWAP”) greater than $0.35, the Corporation may accelerate the expiry of the Warrants
to a date that is sixty (60) days following such VWAP price having been met.
The Corporation intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to fund ongoing general and administrative
expenses, payment of claim taxes on the Corporation’s mineral properties and for the advancement of
exploration activities on certain of the Corporation’s properties.
No cash commission or finder's fee were paid in connection with the Offering. The Common Shares and
Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a four-month and one-day hold period.
Completion of the Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange
(“Exchange”).
Related Party Participation in the Private Placement
Insiders subscribed for an aggregate of 1,895,333 Units in the Offering for a total of 19.95% which
increases the percentage ownership of outstanding Common Shares owned by the insiders that
subscribed to the Offering to 10.94% on a non-diluted basis. As insiders of the Corporation participated
in the Offering, it is deemed to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument
61-101-Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).
Neither the Corporation, nor to the knowledge of the Corporation after reasonable inquiry, a related
party, has knowledge of any material information concerning the Corporation or its securities that has not
been generally disclosed.
The Offering is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI
61-101 (pursuant to subsections 5.5(c) and 5.7(1)(b)) as it was a distribution of securities for cash and
neither the fair market value of the Units distributed to, nor the consideration received from, interested
parties exceeded $2,500,000. The Offering was unanimously approved by the board of directors of the
Corporation, including the director that did not subscribe to the Offering.
7369323.2
The Corporation did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of
the Offering because the details of the participation therein by related parties of the Corporation were
not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering and the Corporation wished to close on an
expedited basis for business reasons.
Early Warning Report
Tailwind Capital Neo Fund Ltd. (“ Tailwind”) has filed an early warning report under National Instrument
62-103 – The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues in connection
with its participation in the Offering.
As at the date of Tailwind's previously filed early warning report of November 28, 2025, Tailwind held no
Common Shares. If the Term Loan (see below) is fully converted into Common Shares in accordance with
its terms and assuming that the entire $775,000 is advanced and is entirely converted, a total of
10,333,333 Common Shares would be issued to Tailwind if conversion occurs during the first year and a
total of 7,750,000 Common Shares would be issued to Tailwind if conversion occurs in either the second
or third year. Such Common Share issuances would represent 34.7% or 28.5% (respectively) of the then
issued and outstanding Common Shares. Tailwind is restricted from converting any amount of the Term
Loan that would cause Tailwind to become a "control person" of the Corporation unless Exchange and
shareholder approval, if necessary, has been obtained.
Immediately after the closing of the Offering, Tailwind held 862,000 Common Shares representing 4.45%
of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and 862,000 Warrants (1,724,000 Common Shares
representing 8.52% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares assuming the exercise of the Warrants)
and held the Term Loan. Assuming the conversion of the Warrants and the Term Loan, Tailwind will hold
a total of 12,057,333 Common Shares if conversion occurs during the first year and a total of 9,474,000
Common Shares if conversion occurs in either the second or third year. Such Common Share issuances
would represent 38.35% or 32.83% (respectively) of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares.
The increase in Tailwind's diluted shareholdings triggered the requirement to file the early warning report.
Tailwind intends to increase or decrease its holdings in the Corporation depending on market conditions
and as circumstances warrant.
A report respecting this acquisition will be filed with the applicable securities commissions using the
Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR+) and will be available for
viewing on the Corporation's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
The Term Loan
The Corporation has received conditional acceptance from the Exchange with respect to its previously
announced term loan (the “Term Loan”) which remains subject to the final acceptance of the Exchange.
The Term Loan is a three (3) year facility which bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum and is convertible
at the option of Tailwind into Common Shares at a price of $0.075 per share until November 21, 2026 and
thereafter at a price of $0.10 per Common Share until maturity. If converted, Tailwind has agreed to a
contractual hold period such that the share certificate representing the Common Shares issued on
conversion will bear a legend restricting the trading of such shares for a period of one (1) year from the
date of their issuance. For further information with respect to the Term Loan, please see the Corporation's
news release dated November 24, 2025.
