Item 4: Summary of Material Change
On April 1, 2025, the Company closed its non-brokered private placement of 6,322,500 common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Shares”) issued at a price of C$4.50 per Share for gross proceeds of C$28,451,250.00 (the “Private Placement”).
Item 5: Full Description of Material Change
On April 1, 2025, the Company closed the Private Placement.
In connection with the Private Placement and the recently completed bought-deal equity financing undertaken by the Company, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle”) exercised its participation right to subscribe for 2,602,500 Shares, resulting in Agnico Eagle retaining approximately 14.0% interest in the Company on a non-diluted basis upon closing of the Private Placement. The issuance of the Shares to Agnico Eagle constituted a related-party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Private Placement was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any securities issued to, nor the consideration paid by, Agnico Eagle exceeded 25.0% of the Company’s market capitalization. The board of directors of the Company has approved the Private Placement and related party transaction with Agnico Eagle. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to closing the Private Placement, which the Company deemed reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Private Placement in a timely manner.
