Item 5. Full Description of Material Change
On June 11, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Stifel Canada to act as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner on behalf of the Underwriters in connection with the Offering. June 24, 2025, the Company and the Underwriters entered into the Underwriting Agreement and completed the Offering, pursuant to which the Underwriters purchased, on a "bought deal" basis, 31,082,200 Units the Offering Price for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $11.5 million, which included the exercise in full of the Underwriters' Option.
Each Unit comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half (½) of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.48 per Common Share at any time from August 24, 2025 until August 24, 2028. The Warrants are governed pursuant to a warrant indenture entered into between the Company and TSX Trust Company, as warrant agent, dated June 24, 2025, a copy of which is available under the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the Offering for development purposes at the Company's Marathon Project and for general corporate purposes.
The Units were issued pursuant to Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemptions (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"), to purchasers resident in Canada (other than the province of Québec) and in other qualifying jurisdictions outside of Canada on a private placement basis pursuant to relevant prospectus or registration exemptions in accordance with applicable laws, and are not subject to a statutory hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Mr. Eric Sprott, through 2176423 Ontario Inc., a corporation beneficially owned by him, acquired Units in the Offering to maintain his pro rata ownership interest in the Company.
In connection with the Offering, Jamie Levy, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, acquired 189,190 Units, Phillip C. Walford, a director of the Company, acquired 67,560 Units, and Stephen Reford (together with Messrs. Levy and Walford, the "Insiders"), a director of the Company, acquired 60,000 Units. Participation by the Insiders in the Offering was considered a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company was exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Insiders' participation in the Offering in reliance of sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. Written consent resolutions of the board of directors of the Company were passed approving the Offering. Messrs. Levy, Walford and Reford confirmed that they would have abstained from voting as a result of their respective disclosable interests in the Offering had such matters been considered at a duly called meeting of the board of directors, and Messrs. Levy, Walford and Reford executed such consent resolutions solely in order that they may take effect as consent resolutions pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). No special committee was established in connection with the Offering and the participation of the Insiders, and no materially contrary view was expressed by any director of the Company. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to closing
of the Offering as the participation of the Insiders in the Offering had not been confirmed at that time.
