Item 5.1
Full Description of Material Change
On December 11, 2024, the Company closed the First Tranche Offering, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 8,473,500 Units at the Issue Price, for aggregate gross proceeds of C$2,118,375.

On December 16, 2024, the Company closed the Second Tranche Offering, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 2,000,000 Units at the Issue Price, for aggregate gross proceeds of C$500,000.

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,473,500 Units at the Issue Price, for total aggregate gross proceeds of C$2,618,375.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant

will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$0.40 per Common Share for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The Warrants also include an acceleration clause, allowing the Company to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants should the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares exceed C$0.60 during any ten consecutive business day period.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be strategically deployed to support the Company's growth initiatives, including the completion of Salisbury Canyon Ranch and the pursuit of new market opportunities in line with the Company's expansion plans, and for general working capital purposes.

The Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") because Micah Anderson, an insider of the Company, participated in the Offering, and acquired 140,000 Units for aggregate consideration of C$35,000 (the "Insider Participation"). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Insider Participation as the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the Insider Participation in the Offering is below 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined in accordance with MI 61-101). The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the expected closing date of the First Tranche Offering as the details of the Offering had not been finalized at that time. The Offering was approved by the board of directors of the Company, with Micah Anderson having disclosed his interest therein and abstaining from voting thereon. 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 thereof.

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid an aggregate of C$85,400 in cash fees and issued an aggregate of 341,600 finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") to certain finders as compensation for introducing certain purchasers of Units to the Company. The Finder's Warrants have the same terms as the Warrants.
