Note:
(1) The Company will use the gross proceeds from the sale of FT Shares only to incur Qualifying Expenditures related to the Projects located in Québec, on or before December 31, 2026. The Company may use the net proceeds from the sale of NFT Shares for exploration activities on the Projects in Québec and for general and administrative expenses and unallocated working capital purposes.
The above noted allocation of available funds and anticipated timing represent the Company’s current intentions is based upon its present plans and business condition, which could change in the future as its plans and business conditions evolve. Although the Company intends to spend the net proceeds from the Offering and other available funds as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary and may vary materially from that set forth above, as the amounts actually allocated and spent will depend on a number of factors, including the Company’s ability to execute on its business plan. See the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section above.
The most recent audited annual financial statements and interim financial report of the Company included a going-concern note. The Company is still in the exploration stage and the Company has not yet generated positive cash flows from its operating activities, which may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Offering is intended to permit the Company to continue to explore its properties and conduct development activities, and is not expected to affect the decision to include a going concern note in the next annual financial statements of the Company.
