The Company is also pleased to announce that the Company’s previously announced “best efforts” private placement (the “Brokered Offering“, and collectively with the Flow-Through Offering, the “Offerings“) is fully subscribed for the sale of 15,295,000 units of the Company (the “Units“, and collectively with the FT Shares, the “Offered Securities“) at a price of C$0.85 per Unit (the “Unit Price“) for gross proceeds of C$13,000,750, which includes the gross proceeds from the full exercise of the Agents’ option. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the Offerings will be approximately C$17,500,750.

Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each a “Unit Share“) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant“). Each whole Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share“) at a price of C$1.20 at any time on or before that date which is 36 months after the Unit Closing Date (as defined herein).

Red Cloud Securities Inc. and Scotiabank are acting as co-lead agents and joint bookrunners, on behalf of a syndicate of agents (collectively, the “Agents“) in connection with the Brokered Offering. The Company plans to use the net proceeds of the Brokered Offering for the advancement of the Company’s wholly owned Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The gross proceeds from the Flow-Through Offering will be used by the Company to incur (or be deemed to incur) eligible resource exploration expenses that will qualify as (i) “Canadian exploration expenses” (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), (ii) “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures” (as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)), and (iii) “eligible Ontario critical mineral exploration expenditures” within the meaning of subsection 103(4.1) of the Taxation Act, 2007 (Ontario) (collectively, the “Qualifying Expenditures“). Qualifying Expenditures in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT Shares will be incurred (or deemed to be incurred) by the Company on or before December 31, 2026, and will be renounced by the Company to the initial purchasers of the FT Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2025.

The Brokered Offering is scheduled to close on or around June 26, 2025 (the “Unit Closing Date“). The closing of the Offerings are subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the listing of the Unit Shares, FT Shares and Warrant Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V“), and the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX-V.  The non-brokered private placement of FT Shares is scheduled to close on or around July 4^th, 2025.

The Company shall pay to the Agents, on the Unit Closing Date, a cash commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds raised in respect of the Brokered Offering (the “Agents’ Commission“) other than gross proceeds from sales to certain purchasers on a president’s list, for which a reduced Agent’s Commission of 3% of such proceeds shall be payable. In addition, at the Unit Closing Date, the Company shall issue to the Agents warrants of the Company (the “Broker Warrants“), exercisable for a period of 36 months following the Unit Closing Date, to acquire in aggregate that number of common shares of the Company which is equal to 6.0% of the number of Units sold under the Brokered Offering at an exercise price equal to the Unit Price, subject to a reduced number of Broker Warrants to be issued to the Agents as is equal to 3% of the number of Units sold to purchasers on the president’s list.

The Offered Securities will be offered by way of private placement in all of the provinces of Canada pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Units will also be offered (i) in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, by way of private placement pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements provided for under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“); and (ii) in jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States on a private placement or equivalent basis, in each case in accordance with all applicable laws, provided that no prospectus, registration statement or other similar document is required to be filed in such jurisdiction. The securities to be issued pursuant to the Offerings to purchasers in Canada will be subject to a four-month hold period in Canada pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The Units are expected to be offered to purchasers outside of Canada pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirements in Canada available under OSC Rule 72-503 – Distributions Outside Canada and, accordingly, the securities to be issued pursuant to the Brokered Offering to purchasers outside of Canada are not expected to be subject to a four-month hold period in Canada.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
