Item 4. Summary of Material Change

On December 22, 2022 the Company closed its previously announced nonbrokered private placement financing of units (the "Units") of the Company at a price of \$0.15 per Unit (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of \$2,307,055.65 (the "Offering").

Item 5. Full Description of Material Change

On December 22, 2022 the Company closed its previously announced Offering for gross proceeds of \$2,307,055.65.

The Company issued an aggregate of 15,380,371 Units pursuant to the Offering with each Unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of \$0.25 until December 22, 2024.

The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used to advance the Company's battery commodity and uranium portfolio projects, working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company paid finder fees to Red Cloud Securities Inc., Stephen Avenue Securities Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Haywood Securities Inc. in the aggregate amount of \$105,837.49 in cash and 702,916 non-transferable finder warrants in connection with the Offering. Each finder warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of \$0.15 until December 22, 2024.

The Offering was completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions and accordingly the securities issued pursuant to the Offering are not subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Offering, including payment of the finder fees, is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The securities issued to certain insiders of the Company are subject to a four-month hold period ending on April 23, 2023 in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

Mega Uranium Ltd., an insider of the Company, acquired an aggregate of 3,333,000 Units on the same terms as other investors for gross proceeds to the Company of \$499,999.95 000 (the "Insider Participation"). The Insider Participation constituted a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is exempt from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Insider Participation under MI 61-101 in reliance on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 due to the fair market value of the Insider Participation being below 25% of the Company's market capitalization for purposes of MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the expected closing date of the Offering as the details of the Insider Participation had not been finalized at that time. The Offering has been approved by the board of directors of the Company. The Company has not received nor has it requested a valuation of its securities or the subject matter of the Insider Participation in the 24 months prior to the date hereof.
