Item 5. Full Description of Material Change

On February 6, 2023, the Company announced that it closed on Tranche 1, pursuant to which the Company issued 18,837,955 Units at the Issue Price for gross proceeds of approximately $4,332,730.

On February 10, 2023, the Company announced that it closed on Tranche 2, pursuant to which the Company issued 3,159,131 Units at the Issue Price for gross proceeds of approximately $726,600. In total, the Company issued an aggregate of 21,997,086 Units at the Issue Price for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5,059,330 under the Offering.

Each Unit consists of of one common share of the Company (each, a “ Common Share ”) and one-half of one non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “ Warrant ”), with each Warrant exercisable to purchase one additional Common Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.30 per Common Share.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used primarily to fund general working capital purposes and for exploration at the Company’s portfolio of projects, including the Lorraine property.

All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a four month and one day hold period expiring on June 4, 2023 and June 10, 2023 for those securities issued under each of Tranche 1 and Tranche 2, respectively.

In connection with the Offering, aggregate finder’s fees of $9,000 cash were paid to Canaccord Genuity Corp.

Richard Bailes, Mark O’Dea, Lewis Lawrick and Teodora Dechev, each a director of the Company (the “ Participating Directors ”), participated in the Offering and purchased 250,000 Units, 500,000 Units, 200,000 Units and 40,000 Units, respectively, for a total of 990,000 Units at the Issue Price for aggregate gross proceeds of $227,700. As of the date of this report, Richard Bailes holds 0.41% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and 0.47% on a partially diluted basis assuming all of the Warrants issued under the Offering to Richard Bailes are exercised; Mark O’Dea holds 1.33% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and 1.46% on a partially diluted basis assuming all of the Warrants issued under the Offering to Mark O’Dea are exercised; Lewis Lawrick holds 1.70% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and 1.75% on a partially diluted basis assuming all of the Warrants issued under the Offering to Lewis Lawrick are exercised; and Teodora Dechev holds 0.05% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and 0.07% on a partially diluted basis assuming all of the Warrants issued under the Offering to Teodora Dechev are exercised. The issuances of Units to the Participating Directors pursuant to the Offering (collectively, the “ Related Party Participation ”) are considered related party transactions within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”). The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively of MI 61-101 in respect of the Related Party Participation as, at the time the transactions were agreed to, neither the fair market value of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transactions, insofar as it involves the Related Party Participation, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company does not anticipate that the Related Party Participation will have a material effect on the Company’s business and affairs. Written consent resolutions of the board of directors of the Company were passed in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) approving the Offering and Related Party Participation. The Participating Directors abstained from voting on such resolutions as a result of their respective disclosable interests in the Offering. No special committee was established in connection with the Offering and the Related Party Participation, and no materially contrary view was expressed by any director of the Company.

This material change report has been filed in respect of the Offering less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering, which is consistent with market practice and the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances.
