This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements.

See the section entitled “ Risk Factors ” below, and in the section entitled “ Risk Factors ” in the Annual Information Form (as defined below), for additional risk factors that could cause results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.

Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this Prospectus and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements or the foregoing list of assumptions or factors, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Exploration of the Oko Gold Property

The Company is focused on advancing the exploration of the Oko Gold Property. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects that its cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its operations (including corporate general and administrative costs), as well as its business objectives, which include completion of the Phase 1 work program recommended in the Oko Technical Report (with a budget of approximately US$1,199,000) (the “ Phase 1 Program ”). Contingent on the success of the Phase 1 Program, the Company plans to spend additional funds to commence the Phase 2 work program recommended in the Oko Technical Report.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described in the sections entitled “ Risk Factors ” in any Prospectus Supplement and those set forth in documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement, as well as other information in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement, before purchasing any of our Securities. Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a loss of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

No Market for the Securities

There is currently no trading market for any Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants, or Units that may be offered. No assurance can be given that an active or liquid trading market for these securities will develop or be sustained. If an active or liquid market for these Securities fails to develop or be sustained, the prices at which these Securities trade may be adversely affected. Whether or not these Securities will trade at lower prices depends on many factors, including liquidity of these Securities, prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities, the market price of the Company, general economic conditions and the Company’s financial condition, historic financial performance and future prospects.

Discretion in the Use of Proceeds

Management will have broad discretion concerning the use of the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities, as well as the timing of their expenditures. Depending on a number of factors, the intended use of proceeds from the offering of any Securities may change. As a result, an investor will be relying on the judgment of management for the application of the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities. Management may use the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities in ways that an investor may not consider desirable if they believe it would be in the best interests of the Company to do so. The results and the effectiveness of the application of proceeds from an Offering of any Securities are uncertain. If the proceeds are not applied effectively, the Company’s results of operations may suffer.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There has been no material change in the share and loan capital of the Company, on a consolidated basis, since September 23, 2022 the date of our most recently filed annual financial statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise indicated in a Prospectus Supplement, we currently expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities offered hereby to fund advancement of the Oko Gold Property and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Any specific allocation of the net proceeds of an Offering to a specific purpose will be determined at the time of the Offering and will be described in the relevant Prospectus Supplement. The Company generates no operating revenue from the activities on its property interests and has negative cash flow from operating activities. The Company anticipates that it will continue to have negative cash flow until such time that commercial production is achieved at the Oko Gold Property. To the extent that the Company has negative cash flows in future periods, it may need to deploy a portion of net proceeds from the sale of Securities to fund such negative cash flow.

  • 5 -

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company may from time to time, during the 25-month period that this Prospectus remains valid, offer for sale and issue Securities. We may issue and sell up to $100 million, in the aggregate, of Securities.

We may offer and sell the Securities through underwriters or dealers, directly to one or more purchasers or through agents. We may offer Securities in the same Offering, or we may offer Securities in separate Offerings. Each Prospectus Supplement, to the extent applicable, will describe the number and terms of the Securities to which such Prospectus Supplement relates, the name or names of any underwriters or agents with whom we have entered into arrangements with respect to the sale of such Securities, the public offering or purchase price of such Securities and our net proceeds. The Prospectus Supplement also will include any underwriting discounts or commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation and will identify any securities exchanges on which the Securities may be listed.

The Securities may be sold, from time to time, in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market price, or at negotiated prices. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with the Offering of the Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Company.

Only underwriters named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with such Securities offered by that Prospectus Supplement.

Underwriters, dealers or agents may make sales of Securities in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, subject to limitations imposed by and the terms of any regulatory approvals required and obtained under, applicable Canadian securities legislation. In connection with any offering of Securities, except as otherwise set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities, the underwriters, dealers or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the offered Securities at a level other than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time.

If underwriters or dealers purchase Securities as principals, the Securities will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters or dealers to purchase those Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the Securities offered by the Prospectus Supplement if any of such Securities are purchased. If agents are used in an offering, unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, such agents will be acting on a “best efforts” basis for the period of their appointment. Any offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid may be changed from time to time.

Under agreements which may be entered into by us, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under applicable Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. The underwriters, dealers and agents with whom we enter into agreements may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by eligible institutions to purchase Securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement under delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The conditions to these contracts and the commission’s payable for solicitation of these contracts will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

Each class or series of Securities, other than the Common Shares, will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Subject to applicable laws, any underwriter may make a market in such Securities, but will not be

  • 6 -

obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. There may be limited liquidity in the trading market for any such Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, we do not intend to list any of the Securities other than the Common Shares on any securities exchange. Consequently, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is no market through which the Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Units or Debt Securities may be sold, and purchasers may not be able to resell any such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Units or Debt Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. No assurances can be given that a market for trading in Securities of any series or issue will develop or as to the liquidity of any such market, whether or not the Securities are listed on a securities exchange.

EARNINGS COVERAGE RATIOS

The applicable Prospectus Supplement will provide, as required, the earnings coverage ratios with respect to the issuance of Debt Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.

Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to one or more subscription receipt agreements (each, a “ Subscription Receipt Agreement ”), each to be entered into between the Company and an escrow agent (the “ Escrow Agent ”), to be named in the relevant Prospectus Supplement, which will establish the terms and conditions of the Subscription Receipts. Each Escrow Agent will be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada or a province thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee. If underwriters or agents are used in the sale of any Subscription Receipts, one or more of such underwriters or agents may also be a party to the Subscription Receipt Agreement governing the Subscription Receipts sold to or through such underwriter or agent. A copy of any Subscription Receipt Agreement will be filed by us with the securities regulatory authorities in applicable Canadian offering jurisdictions after we have entered into it.

STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers of securities with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities and with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser are not sent or delivered to the purchaser. Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada further provides purchasers with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contains a misrepresentation. Those remedies must be exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by securities legislation. A purchaser should refer to applicable securities legislation for the particulars of these rights and should consult a legal adviser.

Original purchasers of Warrants (if offered separately), Subscription Receipts or convertible securities will have a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the exercise of such Warrants or conversion of such Subscription Receipts or convertible securities.

The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, in addition to the amount paid on original purchase of the Warrant, the Subscription Receipt and the convertible security, as the case may be, the amount paid upon exercise upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the Warrant, Subscription Receipt or convertible security under this Prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of purchase of the Warrant, Subscription Receipt or convertible security under this Prospectus. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under Section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under Section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario) or otherwise at law.

In an offering of Warrants, Subscription Receipts or other convertible securities, original purchasers are further advised that in certain provinces the statutory right of action for damages in connection with a prospectus misrepresentation is limited to the amount paid for the security that was purchased under a prospectus, and therefore a further payment at the time of exercise may not be recoverable in a statutory action for damages. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

In addition, to the extent that G2 files a Prospectus Supplement to qualify the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of any special warrants that G2 may in the future issue (“ Special Warrants ”), G2 will grant to each holder of a Special Warrant a contractual right of rescission of the prospectus‐exempt transaction under which the Special Warrant was initially acquired. The contractual right of rescission will provide that if a holder of a Special Warrant who acquires Common Shares on exercise of the Special Warrant as provided for in this Prospectus is, or becomes,

  • 12 -

entitled under the securities legislation of a jurisdiction to the remedy of rescission because of the Prospectus or an amendment to the Prospectus containing a misrepresentation, (a) the holder is entitled to rescission of both the holder’s exercise of its Special Warrant and the private placement transaction under which the Special Warrant was initially acquired, (b) the holder is entitled in connection with the rescission to a full refund of all consideration paid to the agent or Company, as the case may be, on the acquisition of the Special Warrant, and (c) if the holder is a permitted assignee of the interest of the original Special Warrant subscriber, the holder is entitled to exercise the rights of rescission and refund as if the holder was the original subscriber.
