Item 5. Full Description of Material Change
On October 1, 2025, as amended October 2, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with BMO Capital Markets, and on October 3, 2025, the Company and the Underwriters entered into the Underwriting Agreement, pursuant to which the Underwriters agreed to purchase, on a "bought deal" basis, 6,600,000 Shares the Offering Price for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $124,500,000. In addition, the Company granted to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option.
On October 8, 2025, the Company completed the Offering for aggregate gross proceeds to Company of 124,500,000.
Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 789,473 Shares at the Offering Price (the "Concurrent Private Placement") with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited for aggregate gross proceeds of $14,999,987 pursuant to Agnico's existing participation right in equity financings of the Company.
The net proceeds from the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement are expected to be used to fund ongoing work programs to advance the Guayabales Project, including further investment in exploration activities, technical studies and underground development on the Guayabales Project in order to expand the known gold deposits, to pursue other exploration and development opportunities, and for working capital and general corporate purposes, as more fully described in the prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") of the Company dated October 3, 2025.
The securities issued pursuant to the Offering were qualified for distribution in Canada pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement and a short form base shelf prospectus (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") dated December 4, 2024. The Prospectus Supplement, Base Shelf Prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference therein, are available on the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
The Concurrent Private Placement constituted a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Pursuant to section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company was exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the Company's shareholders as the fair market value of Agnico's participation in the Concurrent Private Placement is below 25% of the Company's market capitalization as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report including details with respect to the related party transaction less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Concurrent Private Placement, which the Company deemed reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of financing opportunities and complete the Concurrent Private Placement (and the Public Offering) in an expeditious manner.
