Full Description of Material Change

Second Tranche Offering

On July 11, 2025, the Company announced that it completed the Second Tranche Offering. The first tranche of the Offering (the "First Tranche Offering") closed on May 28, 2025, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $296 million. Upon closing of the Second Tranche Offering, the aggregate financing of $350 million that was previously announced on May 13, 2025 is now complete.

The Second Tranche Offering involved the issuance of a total of 18,163,758 common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at an issue price of $3.00 per Common Share, for gross proceeds of $54,491,274. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to complete construction at Mcllvenna Bay, as well as for advancing exploration at near-mine and regional targets.

Related Party Transaction

In connection with the Offering, (i) certain controlled affiliates of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, an insider of the Company, acquired an aggregate of 25,000,000 Common Shares (inclusive of Common Shares acquired under the First Tranche Offering), and (ii) Dan Myerson, the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, acquired an aggregate of 333,333 Common Shares (inclusive of Common Shares acquired under the First Tranche Offering). The insider participations in the Offering constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), for which the Company was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) thereof, as neither the fair market
