Item 5. Full Description of Material Change
5.1 Full Description of Material Change
On May 5, 2025, Talisker closed the Offering for total gross proceeds of $8 million, which includes the exercise in full of the over-allotment option. In connection with the Offering, the Company issued 16,000,000 Units at a price of C$0.50 per Unit. Red Cloud Securities Inc. acted as sole agent and bookrunner in connection with the Offering.
Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.75 per Common Share until May 5, 2028.
The Company has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for the listing of 7,910,000 Warrants issued under the Offering which are freely tradeable. The Warrants are expected to be listed as of market open on or about May 13, 2025. The remaining 90,000 Warrants issued under the Offering are subject to a four month hold period, and the Company intends to apply for the listing of such Warrants upon expiry of the hold period.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for the continued advancement of the Company’s flagship Bralorne Gold Project in British Columbia, as well as for general corporate purposes and working capital.
8,672,000 Units under the Offering were issued pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption (the “Listed Issuer Financing Exemption”) under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, and the balance of the Units were issued on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements in Canada other than the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption and in

offshore jurisdictions. An offering document with respect to the Offering has been filed on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at (www.sedarplus.ca).
The Common Shares and Warrants issuable from the sale of Units under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption are not subject to a hold period in accordance with Canadian securities laws and are immediately freely tradeable, while the Common Shares and Warrants issuable from the sale of Units under other prospectus exemptions in Canada are subject to a four month hold period.
Related Party Disclosure
Certain insiders' participation in the Offering is considered a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Pursuant to Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval because the fair market value of such insiders’ participation in the Offering was below 25% of the Company’s market capitalization for purposes of MI 61-101.
