KORYX COPPER INC.
Offering: $17,391,360
16,563,200 Common Shares
$1.05 per Common Share
This short form prospectus (the "Prospectus") qualifies the distribution (the "Offering") of 16,563,200 common shares (the "Common Shares", and the Common Shares offered under this Prospectus being the "Offered Shares") of Koryx Copper Inc. ("Koryx" or the "Company") at a price of $1.05 per Offered Share (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of $17,391,360. The Offered Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement between the Company and Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc., as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner (the "Lead Underwriter"), on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters including Beacon Securities Limited, Haywood Securities Inc., Research Capital Corporation, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Red Cloud Securities Inc., and Ventum Financial Corp. (together with the Lead Underwriter, the "Underwriters") dated as of July 15, 2025 (the "Underwriting Agreement"). The Offering Price was determined by arm's length negotiation between the Company and the Lead Underwriter, on behalf of the Underwriters, with reference to the prevailing market price of the Common Shares.

The Common Shares are currently listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) under the symbol “KRY” and are also listed on the Namibian Stock Exchange (the “NSX”) under the trading symbol “KYX”. The TSXV has conditionally approved the listing of the Offered Shares and Compensation Shares (as defined below). Listing of the Offered Shares will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSXV. On July 28, 2025, the last trading day prior to the filing of this Prospectus, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV was $1.04.
| Price to the Public | Underwriters’ Commission^{(1)(2)(3)} | Net Proceeds to the Company^{(2)(3)} | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per Offered Share (Non-President’s List) | $1.05 | $0.063 | $0.987 |
| Per Offered Share (President’s List) | $1.05 | $0.026 | $1.024 |
| Total Offering | $17,391,360 | $868,482 | $16,522,878 |
Notes:
(1) The Company has agreed to: (i) pay the Underwriters a cash commission (the “Underwriters’ Fee”) equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering, including any gross proceeds raised upon the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined herein) and a reduced cash fee of 2.5% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Offered Shares to purchasers included on a president’s list to be formed by the Company in connection with the Offering (the “President’s List Purchasers”); and (ii) issue to the Underwriters such number of Common Share purchase warrants (each, a “Compensation Warrant”) as is equal to 3.0% of the number of Offered Shares sold under the Offering, including any Additional Shares (as defined herein) issued upon the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Compensation Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (each, a “Compensation Share”) at the Offering Price for a period of 24 months after the Closing Date (as defined herein). The distribution of the Compensation Warrants is qualified by this Prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution”. The table above assumes no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined herein) and assumes the Company raises $5,000,000 in gross proceeds from sales to President’s List Purchasers.
(2) After deducting the Underwriters’ Fee, but before deducting the expenses of the Offering, estimated to be approximately $350,000, which together with the Underwriters’ Fee, will be paid by the Company from the proceeds of the Offering. See “Use of Proceeds”.
(3) The Company has granted to the Underwriters an over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable in whole or in part, for a period of 30 days from the Closing Date, to purchase up to an additional 2,484,480 Common Shares at the Offering Price (the “Additional Shares”) to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full and assuming $5,000,000 in gross proceeds raised from sales to President’s List Purchasers, the total number of Common Shares sold under the Offering will be 19,047,680, the total price to the public will be $20,000,064, the total Underwriters’ Fee will be $1,025,004, and the total net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the Underwriters’ Fee, but before deducting the estimated expenses of the Offering, will be $18,975,060. This Prospectus also qualifies the grant of the Over-Allotment Option and the distribution of the Additional Shares. A purchaser who acquires securities forming part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position acquires those securities under this Prospectus, regardless of whether the Underwriters’ over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases. Any reference to “Offered Shares” shall read to include, as the context requires or permits, the Additional Shares issuable under the Over-Allotment Option. See “Plan of Distribution”.
The following table sets out the securities to be issued by the Company to the Underwriters in connection with the Offering:
| Underwriters’ Position^{(1)} | Maximum Size or Number of Securities Available | Exercise Period or Acquisition Date | Exercise Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Over-Allotment Option | Up to 2,484,480 Additional Shares | Exercisable for 30 days from the Closing Date | $1.05 per Additional Share |
| Compensation Warrants | Up to 571,430 Compensation Warrants | Exercisable for 24 months from the Closing Date | $1.05 per Compensation Share |
Notes:
(1) Assumes the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full.
The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares initially at the Offering Price. After the Underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the Offered Shares at the Offering Price, and in consultation with the Company, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce the selling price to purchasers. If the selling price is reduced, the compensation realized by the Underwriters will be
- 3 -
decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by the purchases for the Offered Shares is less than the gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters to the Company. The decrease in the selling price will not decrease the amount of net proceeds of the Offering to the Company. See “Plan of Distribution”.
The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Offered Shares, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued by the Company and accepted by the Underwriters in accordance with the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement referred to under “Plan of Distribution” and subject to the approval of certain legal matters on behalf of the Company by Boughton Law Corporation and on behalf of the Underwriters by Bennett Jones LLP. In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters may, subject to applicable laws, effect transactions intended to stabilize or maintain the market price for the Common Shares at levels above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. See “Plan of Distribution”.
Subscriptions for the Offered Shares will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. To the extent required, definitive certificates or advices under a direct registration system evidencing the Offered Shares will be available for delivery at closing of the Offering; otherwise, a purchaser of Offered Shares will receive only a customer confirmation from the registered dealer, which is a CDS participant, from or through which the Offered Shares are purchased. Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about July 30, 2025, or such earlier or later date as the Company and the Lead Underwriter, on behalf of the Underwriters, may mutually designate, but in any event not later than 42 days after the date of the receipt for the (final) short form prospectus (such actual closing date hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”).

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors and risks that could affect the Company and might cause actual actions, events or results to differ, perhaps materially, from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors and risks that cause actions, events or results not to occur as projected, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Prospectus speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
Forward-looking statements and other information contained herein, including general expectations concerning the mining industry, are based on estimates prepared by the Company employing data from publicly available industry sources, as well as from market research and industry analysis, and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which the Company believes to be reasonable. Although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics, this data is inherently imprecise. While the Company is not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry data presented herein, the industry involves risks and uncertainties and the data is subject to change based on various factors.
All of the forward-looking statements made in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are qualified by these cautionary statements and other cautionary statements or factors contained in this Prospectus, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company.

Update on Haib Copper Project
On March 31, 2025, the Company submitted an application to renew the EPL 3140 licence (the “EPL”) for two additional years. If approved, the Company will have the right to carry out intended exploration work on the Haib Copper Project. As at the date of the Prospectus, the extension of the EPL has not yet been approved; however, the Company may proceed with its proposed exploration plans while the EPL extension application is being reviewed. The Company expects to receive a decision on its renewal application by March 31, 2026 with the cost being the initial filing fee of approximately $5,000. The Company has not received any indication that the current EPL renewal application will be rejected. The EPL renewal application rejection in 2021 was under a previous management team, who had limited experience in this area. The Company’s current management team has built inroads through appropriate channels to facilitate the renewal of the EPL and is hopeful that its current EPL renewal application will be approved. Furthermore, the EPL renewal application rejection in 2021 was later found by the High Court of Namibia upon a judicial review application by the Company to have been unreasonable. The High Court of Namibia found that the Minister and Mining Commission (the “Mining Commission”) did not consider the large investments carried out by the Company to develop a low grade deposit and did not take into consideration the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the exploration program. As a result of the litigation arising from the EPL renewal application rejection and previous management response to same, exploration work was suspended for a two-year period. The background to the 2021 EPL renewal application rejection is set out below.
In April 2021, when the EPL was set to expire, the Company’s EPL renewal application was rejected because the accompanying exploration report did not indicate that substantial exploration activities was carried out in the EPL. The Company responded to the rejected EPL renewal application in May 2021 by providing an explanation for the insufficient amount of exploration activities, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and, the re-orientation of the work program. In March 2023, the High Court of Namibia, upon judicial review, rendered an order that the Mining Commission’s decision to reject the EPL renewal application be set aside and ordered that the Mining Commission pay the Company’s legal costs in connection with the litigation.
Should the EPL application be rejected, the Company would reapply with a revised application or could appeal the Mining Commissions’ decision. Even if the Company does not succeed in obtaining a renewal of the EPL, under Namibian law, so long as the Company continues to re-apply for renewal of the EPL the Company’s exploration ownership rights would not be impacted by such an adverse decision.
The Company is responsible for all environmental liabilities resulting from its exploration work completed at the Haib Copper Project. Although the Company is not required to incur a minimum amount of expenditures to maintain its interest in the Haib Copper Project, in the event the Company fails to carry out its proposed exploration work without a good reason during the two-year period, then the Company may be required to renew its EPL licence on terms other than those previously intended. There is no limit to the number of times the Company may submit an application to renew the EPL. No third parties can apply for the same EPL licence while the Company’s renewal application is pending because the Company maintains its mineral exploration rights during the renewal process. Should the current renewal application be rejected, the Company has contingency plans in place in order to promptly refile an amended renewal application. Alternatively, the Company also has plans to reallocate funds to its other licences so as to mitigate operational disruptions. The operational and financial risk to the Company relating to the rejection of the EPL renewal is nil as no penalties or contractual liabilities will be triggered; however, a rejection of the EPL renewal application would result in delays to the Company’s planned exploration programs, the impacts of which cannot be estimated at this time. See “Risk Factors”.

Notes:
(1) Expenditures incurred on the Zambian licences in terms of the signed agreement with World Class Mineral Ventures are immaterial and have been included within the results of the Haib Copper Project if applicable. The Company accounting policy up until June 1, 2024 was to capitalize all exploration costs, which was subsequently changed to expensing all exploration costs as incurred.
(2) The Company’s operations focus almost exclusively on the Haib Copper Project and, accordingly, the Company incurs very limited expenditures on the Luanshya Project (as defined below), the Company’s non-material exploration property. Accordingly, the table above also includes certain immaterial expenses incurred by the Company on the Luanshya Project, including: (i) $359,683 in geological consulting fees and $2,136 in field support expenses incurred during the year ended August 31, 2023; and (ii) $136,222 in exploration and assay sampling analysis expenses and $78,482 in field support expenses incurred during the six months ended February 28, 2024.
During the six months ended February 28, 2025, there were no material exploration and evaluation expenses in respect of the Luanshya West Copper Project in Zambia as all exploration and evaluation activity shifted to the Haib Copper Project in Namibia where the Company spent $2,454,222 during the period. During the six months ended February 28, 2024, there was minimal exploration and evaluation expenses in the amount
of $214,704 in respect of the Luanshya West Copper Project (the “Luanshya Project”) as the Company shifted its exploration and evaluation focus to the Haib Copper Project where it spent $1,200,896 during the period.
During the year ended August 31, 2024, there were no material exploration and evaluation expenses in respect of the Luanshya Project in Zambia as all exploration and evaluation activity shifted to the Haib Copper Project in Namibia where the Company spent $2,337,799 during the period. During the year ended August 31, 2023, the Company spent $361,819 on exploration and evaluation expenses in respect of the Luanshya Project which was less than the $398,260 the Company spent during the period on the exploration and evaluation expenses for the Haib Copper Project as it shifted its exploration and evaluation focus to the Haib Copper Project.

If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full and an aggregate $5,000,000 in gross proceeds are raised from sales to President’s List Purchasers, the net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting the Underwriters’ Fee of $1,025,004 and the estimated expenses of the Offering of $350,000, are estimated to be $18,625,060. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised, in whole or in part, the Company intends to use the additional net proceeds for regional mineral property drilling and supporting exploration and general corporate purposes. Funds used for general corporate purposes may be allocated to business development or to pursue other exploration or acquisition opportunities. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has not identified any other exploration or acquisition opportunities other than as described in the Technical Report, the Annual Information Form, or other documents incorporated by reference herein.
The Company’s actual use of the net proceeds may vary depending on the Company’s operating and capital needs from time to time and, as such, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of the use of proceeds is necessary. Any such reallocations will be determined at the discretion of the Company’s management and there can be no assurance as of the date of this Prospectus as to how those funds may be reallocated. Until utilized for the above purposes, the Company may invest the net proceeds that it does not immediately require in an interest-bearing account with major Canadian banks. See “Risk Factors”.
The Company will require additional funding to complete further exploration and development work on the Haib Copper Project. There is no assurance that such funds will be available on terms favourable to the Company. See “Risk Factors”.
The Company is an exploration stage company and had negative cash flow from operating activities of $3,858,321 during the financial year ended August 31, 2024 and $5,709,848 during the six months ended February 28, 2025. If the Company continues to have negative cash flow into the future, net proceeds may need to be allocated to funding this negative cash flow in addition to the operational expenses listed above. See “Risk Factors”.
Business Objectives
The Company is primarily focused on the exploration and development of its Haib Copper Project. In the near term, the Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to pursue further exploration of the Haib Copper Project in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Technical Report. It is anticipated that the proposed exploration work described in the Technical Report will cost approximately $40,000,000 and be completed by the end of June 2027. The balance of the funds raised under the Offering will be reserved for general working corporate purposes, working capital and future exploration activities, as described above under “Use of Proceeds”.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue and sell, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on the Closing Date or such other date as the Company and the Underwriters may agree, but in any event not more than 42 days after the date of the receipt for this Prospectus, an aggregate of 16,563,200 Offered Shares at the Offering Price, payable in cash to the Company against delivery of such Offered Shares, for gross proceeds to the Company of $17,391,360.
The Company has granted to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option, exercisable in whole or in part, for a period of 30 days from the Closing Date, to purchase up to 2,484,480 Additional Shares at the Offering Price, for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full and an aggregate $5,000,000 in gross proceeds are raised from sales to President’s List Purchasers, the total number of Offered Shares sold under the Offering will be 19,047,680, the total price to the public will be $20,000,064, the total Underwriters’ Fee will be $1,025,004,
- 18 -
and the total net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the Underwriters’ Fee, but before deducting the estimated expenses of the Offering, will be $18,975,060. A purchaser who acquires Additional Shares qualified for distribution under the Prospectus forming part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position acquires those securities under this Prospectus, regardless of whether the Underwriters’ over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases. Any reference to “Offered Shares” shall read to include, as the context requires or permits, the Additional Shares issuable under the Over-Allotment Option.
This prospectus qualifies the distribution of the Offered Shares in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Québec. The Offered Shares may also be offered for sale and in other jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States, provided that they are lawfully offered and sold in accordance with applicable securities laws in reliance on an exemption from the prospectus, registration or similar requirements of any such jurisdictions and that the Company will not become subject to any continuous disclosure or similar obligations of any such jurisdictions.
The Offering Price was determined by arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Lead Underwriter, on behalf of the Underwriters, with reference to the prevailing market price of the Common Shares. The Company has also agreed to indemnify each of the Underwriters and any U.S. affiliate of an Underwriter that sells any Offered Shares during the distribution, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against certain liabilities and expenses and to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are several and not joint and not joint and several and may be terminated at their discretion on the basis of the “material change out”, “proceedings outs”, “disaster out”, and “breach out” provisions of the Underwriting Agreement and may also be terminated upon the occurrence of certain other stated events. The Underwriters are, however, obligated to take up and pay for all Offered Shares if any are purchased under the Underwriting Agreement.
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company will pay, on the Closing Date, the Company will pay the Underwriters a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including any gross proceeds raised upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and a reduced cash fee equal to 2.5% of the gross proceeds raised from sales to President’s List Purchasers. Assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and an aggregate $5,000,000 in gross proceeds are raised from sales to President’s List Purchasers, the aggregate Underwriters’ Fee payable to the Underwriters by the Company in consideration for their services in connection with the Offering is expected to be $868,482 (or $1,025,004 assuming the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full and an aggregate $5,000,000 in gross proceeds are raised from sales to President’s List Purchasers).
As additional consideration for the services provided by the Underwriters’ to the Company in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters will receive Compensation Warrants to purchase such number of Common Shares as is equal to 3.0% of the number of Offered Shares sold under the Offering, including any Additional Shares issued upon the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Compensation Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Compensation Share at the Offering Price for a period of 24 months after the Closing Date. The distribution of the Compensation Warrants is qualified by this Prospectus. The Underwriters, as holders of the Compensation Warrants will not have any voting rights or other rights attached to the Common Shares until exercised in accordance with the terms of the certificates representing the Compensation Warrants.
The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares to the public initially at the Offering Price. After the Underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the Offered Shares at the Offering Price, in consultation with the Company, the offering price for the Offered Shares may be decreased and may be further changed from time to time to amounts not greater than the Offering Price, and the compensation realized by the Underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by the purchasers
- 19 -
of the Offered Shares is less than the amount paid by the Underwriters to the Company. Any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Lead Underwriter, on behalf of the Underwriters, after discussion therewith, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, for a period ending 90 days after the Closing Date, the Company has agreed it will not: (i) offer, issue, pledge, sell, contract to sell, announce an intention to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise lend, transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares, other than (A) pursuant to the Company's equity compensation plans; (B) to satisfy existing contractual obligations and instruments already issued as of July 9, 2025 (including for greater certainty, but not limited to the grant of securities under the Company's equity compensation plans and the issuance of securities pursuant to existing preemptive, anti-dilution and/or participation rights); (C) the issuance of Common Shares upon the exercise of any warrants, convertible securities, options, or any other commitment or agreement outstanding as of July 9, 2025; (D) obligations in respect of existing agreements; (E) the issuance of Common Shares in connection with any bona fide acquisition by the Company or its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, land acquisitions); and (F) in connection with an internal reorganization; or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is settled by delivery of Common Shares or other securities of the Company, in cash or otherwise.
Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has also agreed to cause its directors and senior officers to agree in lock-up agreements to be executed on or prior to the Closing Date, that for a period of 90 days from the Closing Date, each will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of, or transfer, or announce any intention to do so, any Common Shares, now owned or hereinafter acquired, directly or indirectly, or under their control or direction, or with respect to which each has beneficial ownership, or enter into any transaction or arrangement that has the effect of transferring, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Shares, whether such transaction is settled by the delivery of Common Shares, other securities, cash or otherwise other than (A) in connection with the settlement of restricted share units of the Company or the cashless exercise of stock options of the Company outstanding as of July 9, 2025; (B) upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Lead Underwriter, on behalf of the Underwriters, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (C) pursuant to a takeover bid, arrangement or any other similar transaction made generally to all of the shareholders of the Company; (D) pursuant to a transfer that occurs by operation of law or in connection with transactions arising as a result of the death of the director or officer; or (E) transfers to any affiliates, family members or any company, trust or other entity owned by or maintained for the benefit of the director or officer provided that such entity first executes a similar lock-up agreement.
The Underwriters may not, throughout the period of distribution under this Prospectus, bid for or purchase Common Shares. The foregoing restriction is subject to certain exceptions, as long as the bid or purchase is not engaged in for the purpose of creating actual or apparent active trading in or raising the price of the Common Shares. These exceptions include a bid or purchase permitted under the Universal Market Integrity Rules for Canadian Marketplaces of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization relating to market stabilization and passive market-making activities and a bid or purchase made for and on behalf of a customer where the order was not solicited during the period of distribution. Subject to the foregoing and applicable regulations, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions in connection with the Offering intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels above that which would otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
- 20 -
The TSXV has conditionally approved the listing of the Offered Shares, including any additional Offered Shares issuable on the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and the Compensation Shares. Listing of the Offered Shares and Compensation Shares will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSXV.
Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and a purchaser of Offered Shares, it is expected that the Offered Shares will be issued as non-certificated book-entry securities through CDS or its nominee. Consequently, purchasers of the Offered Shares will receive a customer confirmation from the registered dealer that is a CDS participant from or through which the Offered Shares were purchased and no certificate evidencing the Offered Shares will be issued. Registration will be made through the depository services of CDS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person is authorized to provide any information or make any representation in connection with the Offering, other than as contained in this Prospectus.
United States Securities Laws
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Offered Shares in the United States.
The Offered Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and accordingly may not be offered or sold in the United States (as such term is used in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act), except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Underwriters may offer the Offered Shares in the United States to "qualified institutional buyers" (as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act), provided that such transactions are made in accordance with Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with applicable state securities laws. The Underwriting Agreement also provides that offers and sales of Offered Shares outside the United States may be made only in transactions in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of the Offering, an offer or sale of the Offered Shares offered hereby within the United States by any dealer (whether or not participating in the Offering) may violate the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act unless such offer or sale is made in accordance with an available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Company’s securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, together with all of the other information contained in this Prospectus, before purchasing the Company’s securities. The occurrence of any of such risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. In these circumstances, the market price of our securities, including the Common Shares, could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described herein are not the only risks we face; risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Investors should also refer to the other information set forth or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, including our Annual Financial Statements and related notes. This Prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risks described herein. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” In particular, you should carefully consider the risks described under the Annual Information Form under the heading “Risk Factors”, and the other documents incorporated herein by reference. See “Documents Incorporated by Reference”.
- 28 -
The Common Shares are Subject to Market Price Volatility
The market price of the Common Shares may be adversely affected by a variety of factors relating to the Company's business, including fluctuations in the Company's operating and financial results, the results of any public announcements made by the Company and the Company's failure to meet analysts' expectations. In addition, from time to time, the stock market experiences significant price and volume volatility that may affect the market price of the Common Shares for reasons unrelated to the Company's performance. Additionally, the value of the Common Shares is subject to market value fluctuations based upon factors that influence the Company's operations, such as legislative or regulatory developments, competition, technological changes, global capital market activity and changes in interest and currency rates. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Shares will not experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are unrelated to the Company's performance.
The value of the Common Shares will be affected by the general creditworthiness of the Company. The Annual Information Form and the Company's management's discussion and analysis are incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus and discuss, among other things, known material trends and events, and risks or uncertainties that are reasonably expected to have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. The market value of the Common Shares may also be affected by the Company's financial results and political, economic, financial and other factors that can affect the capital markets generally, the stock exchanges on which the Common Shares are traded and the market segment of which the Company is a part.
An investment in the Common Shares is speculative and may result in the loss of an investor's entire investment in the Company. Only investors who are experienced in high risk investments and who can afford to lose their entire investment should consider an investment in the Company.
Potential Dilution
The Company's articles allow it to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as established by the Board of Directors of the Company, in many cases, without the approval of the Company's shareholders. As part of this Offering, the Company could issue up to 19,047,680 Offered Shares (which number includes the 2,484,480 Offered Shares issuable if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full by the Underwriters). The Company may also issue additional Common Shares in subsequent offerings (including through the sale of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) and on the exercise of stock options or other securities exercisable for Common Shares. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of Common Shares or the effect that future issuances and sales of Common Shares will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Issuances of a substantial number of additional Common Shares, or the perception that such issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Shares. With any additional issuance of Common Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and the Company may experience dilution in its earnings per share.
Forward-Looking Statements May Prove to be Inaccurate
Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, of both general and specific nature, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements or contribute to the possibility that predictions, forecasts or projections will prove to be materially inaccurate. Additional information on such risks, assumptions and uncertainties can be found in this short form prospectus under the heading "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".
- 29 -
The Company May Use the Proceeds of the Offering for Purposes Other Than Those Set Out in this Prospectus
The Company currently intends to allocate the net proceeds received from the Offering as described under the heading “Use of Proceeds” in this Prospectus. However, management will have discretion in the actual application of the proceeds, and may elect to allocate proceeds differently from that described under the heading “Use of Proceeds” if it believes that it would be in the best interests of the Company to do so if circumstances change. Shareholders of the Company may not agree with the manner in which management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds of the Offering. The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.
Potential Need for Additional Financing
Despite the anticipated net proceeds from the Offering, the Company will require significant additional financing, including through the sale of assets and/or the issue and sale of equity or debt securities to satisfy the operational and capital costs at its properties, if various events alone or in combination occur. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain necessary financing in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all.
Negative Operating Cash Flow
The Company is an exploration stage company and has not generated cash flow from operations. The Company is devoting significant resources to the development of the properties; however, there can be no assurance that it will generate positive cash flow from operations in the future. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities and anticipates having negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods. To the extent that the Company continues to have negative operating cash flow in future periods, it may need to allocate a portion of its cash reserves, which may include proceeds from the Offering, to fund such negative cash flow. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate a positive cash flow from its operations. Furthermore, significant additional financing, whether through the issue of additional securities and/or debt, will be required to continue the development of its properties. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate additional financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further development of its properties.
Investors May Lose Their Entire Investment
An investment in the Offered Shares is speculative and may result in the loss of an investor’s entire investment. Only potential investors who are experienced in high-risk investments and who can afford to lose their entire investment should consider an investment in the Company.
The Company’s Properties have no Definitive Feasibility Study
Only those mineral deposits that the Company can economically and legally extract or produce, based on a comprehensive evaluation of cost, grade, recovery and other factors pursuant to a definitive feasibility study are considered mineral reserves. No assurance can be given that any level of recovery of any mineral resources will be realized or that any identified mineral deposit will ever qualify as a commercially mineable deposit that can be legally and economically exploited at this time.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT
In the opinion of Boughton Law Corporation, Canadian tax counsel to the Company, and Bennett Jones LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") and the regulations thereunder in force as of the date hereof and specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, the Offered Shares, if issued on the date hereof, would be "qualified investments" under the Tax Act for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan, a registered retirement income fund, a registered disability savings plan, a registered education savings plan, a first home savings account, a tax-free savings account ("Registered Plans"), or a deferred profit sharing plan, each as defined in the Tax Act, at a particular time, provided that at such time the Offered Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" within the meaning of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSXV) or the Company otherwise qualifies as a "public corporation" other than a "mortgage investment corporation" (each as defined in the Tax Act).
Notwithstanding that the Offered Shares may be a qualified investment for a Registered Plan, the annuitant, holder or subscriber of a particular Registered Plan, as the case may be (the "Controller"), will be subject to a penalty tax in respect of the Offered Shares held in the Registered Plan if such Offered Shares are a "prohibited investment" for such Registered Plan for purposes of the Tax Act. The Offered Shares generally will not be a "prohibited investment" for these purposes if the Controller: (i) deals at arm's length with the Company for purposes of the Tax Act; and (ii) does not have a "significant interest", as defined in the Tax Act for purposes of the prohibited investment rules, in the Company. In addition, the Offered Shares will not be a "prohibited investment" if they are "excluded property", as defined in the Tax Act for purposes of the prohibited investment rules, for a particular Registered Plan.
Prospective purchasers that intend to hold Offered Shares in a Registered Plan should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the Offered Shares will be a prohibited investment for a Registered Plan in their particular circumstances.
