Company (the "Flow-Through Shares") at a price of $0.06 per Flow-Through Share and units of the
Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.05 per Unit, which was previously announced on September 1, 2023,

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to incur Canadian exploration expenses on the
Company's gold properties (collectively, the "Qualifying Expenditures") and for general working capital
purposes. Wescan will renounce the Qualifying Expenditures to subscribers of the Flow-Through Shares.
