TALON METALS CORP.

Up to $25,000,000 Common Shares

This prospectus of Talon Metals Corp. (the “ Corporation ” or “ Talon ”) qualifies the distribution (the “ Offering ”) of Common Shares (as defined below) (the “ Offered Shares ”) having an aggregate sale price of up to $25,000,000. See “ Plan of Distribution ” and “ Description of Common Shares ”.

The Corporation has entered into an equity distribution agreement dated the date hereof (the “ Distribution Agreement ”) with TD Securities Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Paradigm Capital Inc., and Sprott Capital Partners LP (collectively, the “ Agents ”) pursuant to which the Corporation may distribute up to $25,000,000 of Offered Shares in the Offering from time to time through the Agents, as agents, in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement. Sales of Offered Shares, if any, under this prospectus will be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions (“ NI 44102 ”), including sales made directly on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “ TSX ”) or on any other “marketplace” (as such term is defined in National Instrument 21-101 – Marketplace Operation (“ NI 21-101 ”)) in Canada. The Offered Shares will be distributed at the market prices prevailing at the time of the sale. As a result, prices at which Offered Shares are sold in the Offering may vary as between purchasers and during the period of any distribution. The Agents are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Offered Shares, but will use their commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Offered Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement. There is no minimum amount of funds that must be raised under the Offering. This means that the Offering may terminate after only raising a portion of the Offering amount set out above, or none at all. See “ Plan of Distribution ”.

The outstanding common shares in the capital of the Corporation (the “ Common Shares ”) are listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “TLO”. On December 15, 2021, the last trading day before the date of this prospectus supplement, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX was $0.54. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Offered Shares distributed under the Offering, subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSX.

S - ii

The Corporation will pay the Agents a cash commission for their services in acting as agents in connection with the sale of Offered Shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per Offered Share sold (the “ Commission ”). In addition, the Corporation has agreed to reimburse the Agents for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Offering. The Corporation estimates that the total expenses that it will incur related to the commencement of the Offering, excluding the Commission payable to the Agents under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, will be approximately $375,000. See “ Plan of Distribution ”.

As sales agents, the Agents will not engage in any transactions to stabilize or maintain the price of the Common Shares. No underwriter of the at-the-market distribution, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with an underwriter, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities or securities of the same class as the securities distributed under this prospectus supplement, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the securities. See “ Plan of Distribution ”.

An investment in the Offered Shares involves significant risks that should be carefully considered by prospective investors before purchasing Offered Shares. The risks outlined in this prospectus supplement, the base shelf prospectus, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, should be carefully reviewed and considered by prospective investors in connection with any investment in Offered Shares. See the “ Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information ” and “ Risk Factors ” sections of the base shelf prospectus and in this prospectus supplement.

Prospective investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of Canadian federal income tax laws to their particular circumstances, as well as any other provincial, territorial, foreign and other tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of Common Shares, including the Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a foreign controlled Canadian corporation that acquires the Offered Shares. See “ Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations ”.

The Corporation is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction, and each of Warren E. Newfield (Executive Chairman and Director), Gregory S. Kinross (Director), David E. Singer (Director), David L. Deisley (Director), and Arne Frandsen (Director) reside outside of Canada. The Corporation and each of the individuals named above have appointed Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, 2100 Scotia Plaza, 40 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 3C2, as their agent for service of process in Canada. Andrea Martin, one of the authors of the Updated PEA (as defined herein), resides outside of Canada. Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

The Corporation’s head and registered office is located at Craigmuir Chambers, P.O. Box 71, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The registered office address of the Corporation’s representative in Canada, Talon Metals Services Inc., is 43-603 Clark Avenue West, Thornhill, Ontario, L4J 8R2.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the Offering and also adds to and updates certain information contained in the base shelf prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. The second part, the base shelf prospectus, gives more general information, some of which may not apply to the Offered Shares. This prospectus supplement is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the base shelf prospectus solely for the purposes of the Offering constituted by this prospectus supplement.

Purchasers should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the base shelf prospectus. If the description of the Offered Shares or any other information varies between this prospectus supplement and the base shelf prospectus (including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein on the date hereof), the investor should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. The Corporation and the Agents have not authorized any other person to provide purchasers with additional or different information. If anyone provides purchasers with different, additional or inconsistent information, such purchasers should not rely on it. Neither the Corporation nor the Agents are offering to sell, or seeking offers to buy, the Offered Shares in any jurisdiction where offers and sales are not permitted. Purchasers should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement and the base shelf prospectus, as well as information the Corporation has previously filed with the securities regulatory authority in each of the provinces and territories of Canada that is incorporated herein and in the base shelf prospectus by reference, is accurate as of their respective dates only, regardless of the time of any sale of the Offered Shares pursuant hereto. The Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

This prospectus supplement shall not be used by anyone for any purpose other than in connection with the Offering.

References in this prospectus supplement to “Talon”, the “Corporation”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Talon Metals Corp. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus supplement, the base shelf prospectus, and documents incorporated by reference herein and therein contain “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable United States securities laws (collectively referred to herein as “ forward-looking information ”). All information, other than information concerning historical fact, that addresses activities, events or developments that the Corporation believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future including, without limitation, statements with respect to the anticipated use of the net proceeds to the Corporation from the Offering, the intention of the Corporation to complete the Offering, any capital and operating costs, the economic analysis from the technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report, Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) #3 of the Tamarack North Project – Tamarack, Minnesota” with an effective date of January 8, 2021 (the “ Updated PEA ”), the Updated PEA conclusions, estimates in respect of mineral resource quantities, mineral resource qualities, information regarding the potential for increased mineral resources and increased classification through additional exploration, potential mineralization, metallurgical testing and results, drilling and exploration plans, the Corporation’s business plans and priorities, market trends with respect to demand for and the price of nickel and the likelihood of loss for legal proceedings, are forward-looking information.

Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking information reflects the current expectations or beliefs of the Corporation based on information available to the Corporation as of the date such statements are made.

S - 2

Forward-looking information contained in this prospectus supplement, the base shelf prospectus, and documents incorporated by reference herein and therein is based upon assumptions made by the Corporation regarding, among other things: general economic and political conditions; stable and supportive legislative, regulatory and community environment in the jurisdictions where the Corporation operates; anticipated trends and effects in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemic; demand for nickel and copper and estimates of, and changes to, the market prices for nickel and copper; the Corporation’s market position and future financial and operating performance; anticipated timing and results of exploration, development and construction activities; the Corporation’s ability to develop and achieve production at the Tamarack North Project (as defined in the AIF); the Corporation’s ability to obtain and maintain mining, exploration, environmental and other permits, authorizations and approvals for the Tamarack North Project and Tamarack South Project (as defined in the AIF); the exploration, development, construction and operational costs for the Tamarack North Project and Tamarack South Project; successful negotiation of definitive commercial agreements, including off-take agreements for the Tamarack North Project; and the Corporation’s ability to operate in a safe and effective manner. Mineral resource estimates and certain other technical and scientific information are based on the additional assumptions and parameters set out herein, in the Updated PEA and on the opinion of “qualified persons” (as defined in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“ NI 43-101 ”)).

Forward-looking information is subject to significant risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking information, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on the Corporation. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: failure to establish estimated mineral resources and any mineral reserves; the grade, quality and recovery of mineral resources varying from estimates; risks related to the exploration stage of the Corporation’s properties, including the Tamarack North Project and Tamarack South Project; the requirement for additional capital to earn a 60% interest in the Tamarack North Project and Tamarack South Project; certain terms and restrictive covenants in connection with the royalty agreement with Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp., including those relating to the royalty put option thereunder; the possibility that future exploration results and metallurgical testing will not be consistent with the Corporation’s expectations (including identifying additional and/or more extensive mineralization and/or recovery); changes in nickel, copper and/or platinum and palladium (together, “ PGEs ”) prices; risks relating to the COVID-19 coronavirus and related variants and the governmental and regulatory actions taken in response thereto; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain necessary regulatory permits and approvals from government authorities; uncertainties involved in interpreting drilling results, and the beneficiation process and other geological and product related data; changes in the anticipated demand for nickel, copper, cobalt, gold and/or PGEs; changes in equity and debt markets; inflation; changes in exchange rates; declines in United States, Canadian and/or global economies; exploration costs varying significantly from estimates; delays in the exploration, mineral processing and development of, and/or commercial production from the properties Talon has an interest in; equipment failure; unexpected geological or hydrological conditions; political risks; imprecision in preliminary resource estimates; success of future exploration and development initiatives; the existence of undetected or unregistered interests or claims, whether in contract or in tort, over the properties of Talon (including, the Tamarack North Project and Tamarack South Project); changes in government regulations and policies; risks relating to labour; other exploration, development and operating risks; liability and other claims asserted against Talon; volatility in prices of publicly traded securities; and other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry and risks specific to the Corporation, including the risk factors identified elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the base shelf prospectus, and documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, including in the AIF under “ Risk Factors ”, in the Annual MD&A and Interim MD&A, as well as in the Updated PEA and in other disclosure documents of the Corporation filed at www.sedar.com.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive. The forward-looking information contained in this prospectus supplement, the base shelf prospectus, and documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Although the Corporation believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking information are reasonable and has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not

S - 3

place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The Corporation does not undertake to update any forwardlooking information, except as required by applicable securities laws.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, tax counsel to the Corporation, and Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, counsel to the Agents, based on the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the “ Tax Act ”) as of the date hereof, and all proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, the Offered Shares, if issued on the date hereof, would be “qualified investments” under the Tax Act for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan (“ RRSP ”), registered retirement income fund (“ RRIF ”), registered education savings plan (“ RESP ”), registered disability savings plan (“ RDSP ”) and tax-free savings account (“ TFSA ”) (each a “ Registered Plan ”) or a deferred profit sharing plan, as each of those terms is defined in the Tax Act provided that the Offered Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX) or the Corporation qualifies as a “public corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder, subscriber or annuitant of, or under, a Registered Plan (the “ Controlling Individual ”) will be subject to a penalty tax as set out in the Tax Act in respect of Offered Shares acquired by a Registered Plan if such shares are a prohibited investment as set out in the Tax Act for the particular Registered Plan. An Offered Share generally will not be a “prohibited investment” for a Registered Plan provided the Controlling Individual deals at arm’s length with the Corporation for the purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a “significant interest” (as defined in subsection 207.01(4) the Tax Act) in the Corporation. In addition, the Offered Shares will not be a “prohibited investment” if the Offered Shares are “excluded property” as defined in the Tax Act, for the Registered Plan. Controlling Individuals should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the Offered Shares would be a prohibited investment in their particular circumstances.

Persons who intend to hold the Offered Shares in a trust governed by a Registered Plan should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of these rules in their particular circumstances.

THE CORPORATION

The Corporation was formed on April 5, 2005 as a result of a consolidation between Ventures Resources Corporation and Resource Holdings & Investments Inc. (“ RHI ”) pursuant to a plan of consolidation under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “ RHI Consolidation ”). The RHI Consolidation was a reverse takeover under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

RHI was incorporated by memorandum and articles of association filed under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (British Virgin Islands) (the “ BVI Act ”) on July 8, 2004 for the purpose of engaging in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Brazil. Following the RHI Consolidation, the properties and assets of RHI became the properties and assets of the Corporation and the name of the Corporation was changed to “BrazMin Corp.”.

Effective July 9, 2007, the Corporation changed its name from “BrazMin Corp.” to “Talon Metals Corp.” (the “ Name Change ”). No change to the Corporation’s capital structure resulted from the Name Change.

On March 24, 2010, the Corporation and Saber Energy Corp. (“ Saber ”) merged pursuant to a merger effected under the BVI Act (the “ Saber Merger ”). On closing of the Saber Merger, the properties and assets of Saber became the properties and assets of the Corporation. Talon survived the Saber Merger, retained its corporate name, “Talon Metals Corp.”, and continues to be governed by the provisions of the BVI Act.

On December 10, 2021, the Corporation and RCF entered into amendment to the Investment Agreement (the “ Amendment Agreement ”). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment Agreement, RCF will have the ability to acquire that number of Common Shares from the Corporation to provide RCF the ability to maintain their pro-rata shareholding interest in the Corporation after taking into account any sales by the Corporation in respect of an “atthe-market” distribution (the “ Top-Up Purchases ”). The Top-Up Purchases, if any, by RCF under the terms of the Amendment Agreement will be completed on a monthly basis. The purchase price per Common Share issued in connection with the Top-Up Purchases shall be the greater of: (i) the average sale price for the Common Shares issued under the Offering for the applicable calendar month, and (ii) the “market price” per Common Share less the maximum permitted discount (without shareholder approval) in accordance with the TSX Company Manual.

The net proceeds from the Offering, if any, are not determinable in light of the nature of the distribution. Sales of Offered Shares, if any, will be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in NI 44-102, including sales made directly on the TSX or on any other “marketplace” (as such term is defined in NI 21-101) in Canada. Any proceeds that the Corporation receives will depend on the number of Offered Shares actually sold and the offering price of such Offered Shares. The net proceeds to the Corporation of any given distribution of Offered Shares through the Agents under the Distribution Agreement will represent the gross proceeds of sales of Offered Shares, after deducting the applicable Commission, any transaction or filing fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in connection with any such sales of Offered Shares and the expenses of the distribution. The gross proceeds of the Offering will be up to $25,000,000. The Agents will receive the Commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares. Any Commission paid to the Agents will be paid out of the proceeds from the sale of Offered Shares. There is no minimum amount of funds that must be raised under the Offering. This means that the Offering may terminate after raising only a portion of the Offering amount set out above, or none at all. See “ Plan of Distribution ”.

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, if any, for general corporate purposes and working capital needs. As at the date hereof, the Corporation has yet to generate any revenue from mining operations and is unlikely to do so in the immediate future. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Corporation had negative cash flow from operating activities. The Corporation anticipates it will continue to have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods until profitable commercial production is achieved at the Tamarack North Project. As a result, the Corporation may need to allocate a portion of its existing working capital or certain of the net proceeds from the Offering to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods. See “ Risk Factors – Negative Operating Cash Flow and Additional Funding ” in the base shelf prospectus.

Although the Corporation intends to expend the net proceeds from the Offering, if any, as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be prudent or necessary, and may vary materially from that set forth above. In addition, the Corporation’s management will have broad discretion concerning the use of the net proceeds of the Offering. See “ Risk Factors ”.

The Corporation may, from time to time, issue securities (including equity securities and debt securities) other than pursuant to this prospectus supplement and such proceeds may be used in conjunction with the proceeds received hereunder.

Until applied, the net proceeds will be held as cash balances in the Corporation’s bank account or invested in certificates of deposit and other instruments issued by banks or obligations of or guaranteed by a government authority.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

Pursuant to Talon’s memorandum of association under the BVI Act, it is authorized to issue one class and one series of shares divided into 100,000,000,000 Common Shares of no par value. As at the date hereof, 702,458,651 Common Shares are issued and outstanding. For a summary of certain material attributes and characteristics of the Common Shares, see “ Description of Common Shares ” in the base shelf prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Corporation has entered into the Distribution Agreement with the Agents under which the Corporation may issue and sell from time to time, through the Agents, Offered Shares having an aggregate sale price of up to $25,000,000 in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. Sales of Offered Shares, if any, will be made in

S - 8

transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in NI 44-102, including sales made directly on the TSX or on any other “marketplace” (as such term is defined in NI 21-101) in Canada. Subject to the pricing parameters in a placement notice, the Offered Shares will be distributed at the market prices prevailing at the time of the sale. As a result, prices at which Offered Shares are sold in the Offering may vary as between purchasers and during the period of any distribution. The Corporation cannot predict the number of Offered Shares that it may sell under the Distribution Agreement or if any Offered Shares will be sold.

Each time the Corporation wishes to issue and sell Offered Shares under the Distribution Agreement, the Corporation will notify the applicable Agent, with a copy to the other Agents (a “ Placement Notice ”) containing the parameters within which the Corporation desires to issue and sell the Offered Shares, which shall at a minimum include: (i) the maximum number of Offered Shares to be sold under the applicable placement pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, (ii) the time period during which sales of Offered Shares are requested to be made, (iii) the maximum number of Offered Shares that may be sold in any one trading day, (iv) any minimum price below which sales of Offered Shares may not be made, and (v) the amount of the Commission. Once the Corporation has so instructed such Agent, and unless the sale of the Offered Shares has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the applicable Agent will severally and not jointly use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on behalf of the Corporation and as agent, such Offered Shares up to the amount specified during the time period specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. The obligations of the Agents under the Distribution Agreement to sell Offered Shares are subject to a number of conditions that the Corporation must meet. The Agents will not be required to purchase Offered Shares on a principal basis pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. There is no minimum amount of funds that must be raised under the Offering. This means that the Offering may terminate after only raising a portion of the Offering amount set out above, or none at all.

The settlement of sales of Offered Shares between the Corporation and the Agents is generally anticipated to occur on the second trading day following the date on which the sale was made. Sales of Offered Shares as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or by such other means as the Corporation and the Agents may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

The Corporation will pay the Agents the Commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares and has also agreed to indemnify the Agents against certain liabilities and to contribute to payments the Agents may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close the Offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to the Corporation, if any, are not determinable at this time. In addition, the Corporation has agreed to reimburse the Agents for the fees and disbursements of their counsel, in addition to certain ongoing disbursements of their legal counsel. The total expenses related to the commencement of the Offering to be paid by the Corporation, excluding the Commission payable to the Agents under the Distribution Agreement, are estimated to be approximately $375,000. The sales proceeds remaining after payment of the Commission and after deducting any expenses payable by the Corporation, will equal the net proceeds to the Corporation from the sale of any Offered Shares.

The Agents will provide written confirmation to the Corporation not later than the opening of the trading day immediately following each trading day on which Offered Shares are sold under the Distribution Agreement. Each confirmation will include: (i) the number of Offered Shares sold on such day, (ii) the average price of the Offered Shares sold, (iii) the gross proceeds with respect to such sales, (iv) the Commission payable by the Corporation to the Agents with respect to such sales, and (v) the net proceeds payable to the Corporation.

The Corporation will disclose the number and average price of the Offered Shares sold under this prospectus supplement, as well as the gross proceeds, commissions and net proceeds from sales hereunder in the Corporation’s annual and interim financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis, filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, for any quarters or annual periods in which sales of Offered Shares occur.

The Agents and their affiliates will not engage in any transactions to stabilize or maintain the price of the Common Shares in connection with any offer or sales of Offered Shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. No underwriter of the at-the-market distribution, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with an underwriter, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or

S - 9

maintain the market price of the securities or securities of the same class as the securities distributed under this prospectus supplement, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the securities.

Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, the offering of the Offered Shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement will automatically terminate upon the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2022, (ii) the date on which the issuance and sale of all of the Offered Shares through the Agents on the terms and conditions set forth in the Distribution Agreement has been completed, and (iii) the date on which the receipt issued for the base shelf prospectus ceases to be effective in accordance with Canadian securities laws. The Corporation and the Agents may each terminate the Distribution Agreement in their sole discretion at any time upon delivery of written notice in accordance with the Distribution Agreement.

This summary of the material provisions of the Distribution Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions. A copy of the Distribution Agreement is filed under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The Agents and their affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking, financial advisory and other financial services for the Corporation and its affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. In the course of their business, the Agents may actively trade in the Corporation’s securities for their own account or for the accounts of customers, and, accordingly, the Agents may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.

This prospectus supplement and the base shelf prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by the Agents, and the Agents may distribute this prospectus supplement and the base shelf prospectus electronically.

The outstanding Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Offered Shares distributed under the Offering, subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSX.

The Offered Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and may not be offered or sold within the United States. Accordingly, each Agent has agreed that (i) it will not offer or sell Offered Shares in the United States and (ii) it will not, intentionally, offer or sell Offered Shares to a person that it knows or has reason to believe is resident in the United States or acting for the account or benefit of a person resident in the United States, or that it knows or has reason to believe intends to reoffer, resell or deliver the Offered Shares to any person in the United States. This prospectus supplement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities offered hereby within the United States. The Agents and the Corporation have agreed in the Distribution Agreement that no advertisement, solicitation, conduct or negotiation directly or indirectly in furtherance of the sale of Offered Shares contemplated hereunder shall be undertaken in the United States by the Corporation or any Agent.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

S - 12

In the opinion of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, counsel to the Corporation, and Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, counsel to the Agents, the following is, as of the date hereof, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a purchaser who acquires the Offered Shares pursuant to this Offering. This summary applies only to a purchaser who is a beneficial owner of the Offered Shares and who, for the purposes of the Tax Act, and at all relevant times: (i) acquires and holds the Offered Shares as capital property; (ii) deals at arm’s length with the Corporation and the Agents; and (iii) is not affiliated with the Corporation or the Agents (a “ Holder ”).

Offered Shares will generally be considered to be capital property to a Holder unless the Holder holds such shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities or has acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary is not applicable to a Holder: (i) that is a “financial institution” (as defined in the Tax Act) for purposes of the mark-to-market provisions of the Tax Act; (ii) that is a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act; (iii) that has made a functional currency reporting election under section 261 of the Tax Act to report its “Canadian tax results” as defined in the Tax Act in a currency other than Canadian currency; (iv) an interest in which is, or for whom an Offered Share would be, a “tax shelter investment” for the purposes of the Tax Act; (v) that has entered into or will enter into a “derivative forward agreement” or “synthetic disposition agreement”, as those terms are defined in the Tax Act, in respect of Offered Shares; (vi) that receives dividends on Offered Shares under or as part of a “dividend rental arrangement” (as defined in the Tax Act); or (vii) in relation to which the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is or will be a “foreign affiliate” (as defined in the Tax Act). Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder (“ Regulations ”) in force as of the date hereof, all specific proposals (“ Proposed Amendments ”) to amend the Tax Act or the Regulations that have been publicly announced by, or on behalf of, the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof and counsel’s understanding of the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (“ CRA ”). No assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted or otherwise implemented in their current form, if at all. If the Proposed Amendments are not enacted or otherwise implemented as presently proposed, the tax consequences may not be as described below in all cases. Other than the Proposed Amendments, this summary does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, administrative policy or assessing practice, whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account the tax laws of any province or territory of Canada or of any jurisdiction outside of Canada. Holders that are not residents of Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Offered Shares in any jurisdiction in which they may be subject to tax, including Canada.

This summary is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder. Accordingly, Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Currency Conversion

For purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts related to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Offered Shares (including dividends, adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition) must be expressed in Canadian dollars. Amounts denominated in a foreign currency must be converted into Canadian dollars using the appropriate exchange rate determined in accordance with the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act in this regard.

Holders Resident in Canada

The following portion of this summary applies to Holders who, for the purposes of the Tax Act, are or are deemed to be resident in Canada at all relevant times (herein, “ Resident Holders ”). The Offered Shares are not “Canadian securities” for the purpose of the irrevocable election under subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. Consequently, a Resident Holder will not be entitled to make or rely on such an election in respect of the Offered Shares to have such shares deemed to be capital property. Resident Holders who do not hold the Offered Shares as capital property should consult their own tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.

S - 13

Dividends

A Resident Holder will be required to include in computing such Resident Holder’s income for a taxation year the amount of dividends, if any, received (or deemed to be received) on the Offered Shares. Dividends received on Offered Shares by a Resident Holder who is an individual will not be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules in the Tax Act normally applicable to taxable dividends received from “taxable Canadian corporations” (as defined in the Tax Act). A Resident Holder that is a corporation will not be entitled to deduct the amount of such dividends in computing its taxable income.

Disposition of Offered Shares

A Resident Holder who disposes of or is deemed to have disposed of an Offered Share will generally realize a capital gain (or capital loss) in the taxation year of the disposition equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Offered Share net of any reasonable costs of disposition, are greater (or are less) than the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the Offered Share immediately before the disposition or deemed disposition. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the tax treatment described below under “ Holders Resident in Canada – Capital Gains and Capital Losses ”.

Capital Gains and Capital Losses

A Resident Holder will generally be required to include in computing its income for the taxation year of disposition, one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a “ taxable capital gain ”) realized in such year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Holder will be required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an “ allowable capital loss ”) against taxable capital gains realized in the taxation year of disposition. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains for the taxation year of disposition may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and under the circumstances specified in the Tax Act.

Capital gains realized by a Resident Holder that is an individual or trust, other than certain specified trusts, may give rise to a liability for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act.

Offshore Investment Fund Property Rules

The Tax Act contains rules which, in certain circumstances, may require a Resident Holder to include an amount in income in each taxation year in respect of the acquisition and holding of Offered Shares if (a) the value of the Offered Shares may reasonably be considered to be derived, directly or indirectly, primarily from portfolio investments in: (i) shares of the capital stock of one or more corporations, (ii) indebtedness or annuities, (iii) interests in one or more corporations, trusts, partnerships, organizations, funds or entities, (iv) commodities, (v) real estate, (vi) Canadian or foreign resource properties, (vii) currency of a country other than Canada, (viii) rights or options to acquire or dispose of any of the foregoing, or (ix) any combination of the foregoing (collectively “ Investment Assets ”) and (b) it may reasonably be concluded that one of the main reasons for the Resident Holder acquiring, or holding the Offered Shares was to derive a benefit from portfolio investments in Investment Assets in such a manner that the taxes, if any, on the income, profits and gains from such Investment Assets for any particular year are significantly less than the tax that would have been applicable under Part I of the Tax Act if the income, profits and gains had been earned directly by the Resident Holder.

In determining whether these rules may apply, regard must be had to all of the circumstances, including (i) the nature, organization and operation of any non-resident entity, including the Corporation, and the form of, and the terms and conditions governing, the Resident Holder’s interest in, or connection with, any such non-resident entity, (ii) the extent to which any income, profit and gains that may reasonably be considered to be earned or accrued, whether directly or indirectly, for the benefit of any non-resident entity, including the Corporation, are subject to an income or profits tax that is significantly less than the income tax that would be applicable to such income, profits and gains if they were earned directly by the Resident Holder, and (iii) the extent to which any income, profits and gains of any non-resident entity, including the Corporation, for any fiscal period are distributed in that or the immediately following fiscal period.

S - 14

If applicable, these rules would generally require a Resident Holder to include in income for each taxation year in which the Resident Holder owns an Offered Share (i) an imputed return for the taxation year computed on a monthly basis and determined by multiplying the Resident Holder’s “designated cost” (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Offered Share at the end of the month, by 1/12th of the sum of the applicable prescribed rate for the period that includes such month plus 2%, less (ii) the Resident Holder’s income for the year (other than a capital gain) from the Offered Share determined without reference to these rules. Any amount required to be included in computing a Resident Holder’s income under these rules will be added to the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the applicable Offered Shares.

The CRA has taken the position that the term “portfolio investment” should be given a broad interpretation. While it should be unlikely that the value of the Offered Shares would be regarded as being derived primarily from portfolio investments in Investment Assets, there is a possibility that the CRA may take a different view. Even if the value of the Offered Shares may reasonably be considered to be derived, directly or indirectly, primarily from portfolio investments in Investment Assets, these rules will apply to a Resident Holder only if it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons for the Resident Holder acquiring, holding or having the Offered Shares was to derive a benefit from Investment Assets in such a manner that the taxes, if any, on the income, profits and gains from such Investment Assets for any particular year are significantly less than the tax that would have been applicable under Part I of the Tax Act if the income, profits and gains had been earned directly by the Resident Holder.

These rules are complex and their application depends, to a large extent, in part, on the reasons for a Resident Holder acquiring or holding the Offered Shares. Resident Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application and consequences of these rules in their own particular circumstances.

Additional Refundable Tax

A Resident Holder that is, throughout its taxation year, a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be subject to pay a refundable tax on its “aggregate investment income” (as defined in the Tax Act), including amounts in respect of taxable capital gains and certain dividends.

Foreign Property Information Reporting

In general, a Resident Holder that is a “specified Canadian entity” (as defined in the Tax Act) for a taxation year or a fiscal period and whose total “cost amount” (as defined in the Tax Act) of “specified foreign property” (as defined in the Tax Act), including the Offered Shares, at any time in the year or fiscal period exceeds C$100,000 will be required to file an information return with the CRA for the taxation year or fiscal period disclosing certain prescribed information in respect of such property. Subject to certain exceptions, a taxpayer resident in Canada, other than a corporation or trust exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act, will be a “specified Canadian entity,” as will certain partnerships. The Offered Shares will be “specified foreign property” to a Resident Holder. Penalties may apply where a Resident Holder fails to file the required information return in respect of such Resident Holder’s “specified foreign property” on a timely basis in accordance with the Tax Act.

The reporting rules in the Tax Act relating to “specified foreign property” are complex and this summary does not purport to address all circumstances in which reporting may be required by a Resident Holder. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the reporting rules contained in the Tax Act.

Holders Not Resident in Canada

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder that, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act: (i) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada; and (ii) does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Offered Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a “ Non-Resident Holder ”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer that carries on, or is deemed to carry on, an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere, or an authorized foreign bank (as defined in the Tax Act) and such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

S - 15

Dividends

Dividends paid in respect of Offered Shares to a Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax or other income tax under the Tax Act.

Disposition of Offered Shares

A Non-Resident Holder who disposes or is deemed to dispose of the Offered Shares will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of an Offered Share nor will capital losses arising therefrom be recognized under the Tax Act, unless the Offered Share, is, or is deemed to be, “taxable Canadian property” of the Non-Resident Holder for the purposes of the Tax Act and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption pursuant to the terms of an applicable tax treaty or convention.

Generally, an Offered Share will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder provided that the Offered Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX), unless at any time during the 60 month period immediately preceding the disposition, (i) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation were owned by or belonged to one or any combination of (a) the Non-Resident Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length, and (c) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (ii) at such time, more than 50% of the fair market value of the Offered Share was derived, directly or indirectly, from any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, “Canadian resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act), “timber resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act), or options in respect of, interests in, or for civil law rights in such properties, whether or not such property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Offered Share may also be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property” in certain other circumstances set out in the Tax Act. Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to whether their Offered Shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” in their own particular circumstances.

In cases where a Non-Resident Holder disposes (or is deemed to have disposed) of an Offered Share that is taxable Canadian property to that Non-Resident Holder and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption under an applicable income tax treaty or convention, the consequences described above under the headings “ Holders Resident in Canada – Disposition of Offered Shares” and “ Holders Resident in Canada – Capital Gains and Capital Losses ” will generally be applicable to such disposition.

Non-Resident Holders whose Offered Shares may be taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

EXEMPTION

Pursuant to a decision of the Autorité des marchés financiers dated November 16, 2021, the Corporation was granted exemptive relief from the requirement that this prospectus supplement, the base shelf prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein be publicly filed in both the French and English languages. For the purposes of this prospectus supplement, the Corporation is not required to publicly file French versions of this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Offered Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors in the Offering should carefully consider, in addition to information contained in this prospectus supplement, the base shelf prospectus, and the information incorporated by reference herein and therein for the purposes of the Offering, the risk factors set forth in the AIF, as well as the Annual MD&A and Interim MD&A incorporated by reference herein.

Any such risk factors could materially affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition and/or future operating results and prospects and could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and forward-looking information relating to the Corporation. The risks described herein and therein are not the only risks facing the Corporation. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Corporation, or that the Corporation currently deems to be immaterial, may also materially and adversely affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition, operations or prospects.

In addition, the following risk factors should be carefully considered by investors:

No Certainty Regarding the Net Proceeds to the Corporation

There is no certainty that $25,000,000 will be raised under the Offering. The Agents have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to sell, on the Corporation’s behalf, the Offered Shares designated by the Corporation, but the Corporation is not required to request the sale of the maximum amount offered or any amount and, if the Corporation requests a sale, the Agents are not obligated to purchase any Offered Shares that are not sold. As a result of the Offering being made on a commercially reasonable efforts basis with no minimum, and only as

S - 18

requested by the Corporation, the Corporation may raise substantially less than the maximum total offering amount or nothing at all.

Discretion in the Use of Net Proceeds

The Corporation currently intends to allocate the net proceeds, if any, received from the Offering as described under “ Use of Proceeds ”; however, the Corporation’s management will have broad discretion concerning the actual application of such net proceeds, if any, as well as the timing of their expenditures and may elect to allocate net proceeds differently from that described under “ Use of Proceeds ” if determined by management to be in the Corporation’s best interests to do so. Shareholders may not agree with the manner in which management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. The failure by the Corporation’s management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses and could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and cause the price of the Common Shares to decline. Pending their use, the Corporation may invest the net proceeds from the Offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

At-the-Market Offering

Investors who purchase Offered Shares in the Offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results. The Corporation will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices and numbers of Offered Shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their Common Shares as a result of Common Share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

Loss of Entire Investment

An investment in the Offered Shares is speculative and may result in the loss of an investor’s entire investment. Only potential investors who are experienced in high risk investments and who can afford to lose their entire investment should consider an investment in the Corporation.

Changes to Environmental Legislation

The Corporation’s business is subject to various levels of environmental regulation and government controls which are supplemented and revised from time to time. The Corporation is unable to predict what legislation or revisions may be proposed that might affect its business or when any such proposals, if enacted, might become effective. Such changes, however, could require increased capital and operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by the Corporation. To the extent that the Corporation fails to or is alleged to fail to comply with any applicable regulation, whether in the future or in the past, the Corporation may be unable to continue to operate successfully. In the current legislative period in Minnesota, legislation has been introduced that, if passed would impose conditions on non-ferrous mining operations. Similar so-called “Prove it First” legislation was first introduced in 2019 and is modeled on legislation that passed in Wisconsin in 1998. The Wisconsin law was revoked in 2017 due to the problems inherent in the law and the negative economic impact on mining in the state. The “Prove it First” legislation proposal has been subject to bipartisan opposition and has not progressed in the legislative process to date. Opponents of the “Prove it First” legislation argue that current legislation regarding mine permitting/closure adequately protect the environment and that passing of “Prove it First” legislation would not improve the environmental protections currently in place in Minnesota. The Corporation is monitoring the situation. In the event that the proposed “Prove it First” legislation is enacted into law as currently proposed, it will have a negative adverse effect on the Corporation and the Tamarack North Project and Tamarack South Project operations. Furthermore, any shift in political attitudes, or amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining in Minnesota or more stringent implementation thereof are beyond the control of the Corporation and could have a substantial adverse impact on the Corporation.

Community Relations and Non-Governmental Organizations

S - 19

The Corporation’s relationships with the community in which it operates are critical to the success of the Corporation’s operations and the exploration, construction and development of the Tamarack North Project and Tamarack South Project. At any given time there may be ongoing and potentially increasing public concern relating to the perceived effect of mining activities on the environment and on communities impacted by such activities. Certain non-governmental organizations (“ NGOs ”), some of which oppose resource development generally, are often vocal critics of the mining industry and its practices, including processing activities. Adverse publicity generated by such NGOs or others related to extractive industries generally, or Talon’s operations specifically, could have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s reputation or financial condition and may impact its relationship with the communities in which it operates. While Talon is committed to operating in a socially responsible and environmentally friendly manner, there is no guarantee that the Corporation’s efforts in this respect will mitigate this potential risk.

PURCHASERS’ STATUTORY RIGHTS

The following is a description of a purchaser’s statutory rights in connection with any purchase of Offered Shares pursuant to the Offering, which supersedes and replaces the statement of purchasers’ rights included in the base shelf prospectus under the heading “ Statutory and Contractual Rights of Withdrawal and Rescission ” solely with regard to the Offering.

Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers of securities with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities and with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the base shelf prospectus, prospectus supplement and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser are not sent or delivered to the purchaser. However, purchasers of Offered Shares distributed under an at-the-market distribution by the Corporation do not have the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase the Offered Shares and do not have remedies of rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages for non-delivery of the base shelf prospectus, prospectus supplement and any amendment relating to the Offered Shares purchased by such purchaser because the base shelf prospectus, prospectus supplement and any amendment relating to the Offered Shares purchased by such purchaser will not be sent or delivered, as permitted under Part 9 of NI 44-102.

Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada further provides purchasers with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the base shelf prospectus, prospectus supplement and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contains a misrepresentation. Those remedies must be exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by securities legislation. Any remedies under securities legislation that a purchaser of Offered Shares distributed under an at-the-market distribution by the Corporation may have against the Corporation or the Agents for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the base shelf prospectus, prospectus supplement and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contain a misrepresentation will remain unaffected by the non-delivery of the prospectus referred to above.

A purchaser should refer to applicable securities legislation for the particulars of these rights and should consult a legal adviser.

Mineral resource estimates and certain other technical and scientific information are based on the assumptions and parameters set out herein, in the Updated PEA and on the opinion of “qualified persons” (as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“ NI 43-101 ”)). Forward-looking information reflects the current expectations or beliefs of the Corporation based on information available to the Corporation as of the date such statements are made. Forward-looking information is subject to significant risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking information, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on the Corporation.

The forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Although the Corporation has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information.

DIFFERENCES IN REPORTING OF MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

This Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws.

THE CORPORATION

The Corporation was formed on April 5, 2005 as a result of a consolidation between Ventures Resources Corporation and Resource Holdings & Investments Inc. (“ RHI ”) pursuant to a plan of consolidation under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “ RHI Consolidation ”). The RHI Consolidation was a reverse takeover under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

RHI was incorporated by memorandum and articles of association filed under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (British Virgin Islands) (the “ BVI Act ”) on July 8, 2004 for the purpose of engaging in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Brazil. Following the RHI Consolidation, the properties and assets of RHI became the properties and assets of the Corporation and the name of the Corporation was changed to “BrazMin Corp.”.

Effective July 9, 2007, the Corporation changed its name from “BrazMin Corp.” to “Talon Metals Corp.” (the “ Name Change ”). No change to the Corporation’s capital structure resulted from the Name Change.

On March 24, 2010, the Corporation and Saber Energy Corp. (“ Saber ”) merged pursuant to a merger effected under the BVI Act (the “ Saber Merger ”). On closing of the Saber Merger, the properties and assets of Saber became the properties and assets of the Corporation. Talon survived the Saber Merger, retained its corporate name, “Talon Metals Corp.”, and continues to be governed by the provisions of the BVI Act.

The outstanding Common Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “TLO”.

The Corporation’s head and registered office is located at Craigmuir Chambers, P.O. Box 71, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The registered office address of the Corporation’s representative in Canada, Talon Metals Services Inc., is 43-603 Clark Avenue West, Thornhill, Ontario, L4J 8R2.

THE BUSINESS

The Corporation is a mineral exploration company currently focused on the exploration and development of the Tamarack North Project and the Tamarack South Project, nickel-copper-cobalt projects in Minnesota, United States of America.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

As at September 30, 2021, there were 696,863,651 Common Shares issued and outstanding, as well as 98,247,574 options and 45,092,183 Common Share purchase warrants of the Corporation outstanding which, if exercised, would result in the issuance of an additional 45,092,183 Common Shares. As at the date hereof, there are 697,458,651 Common Shares issued and outstanding, as well as 99,515,074 options and 45,092,183 Common Share purchase warrants of the Corporation outstanding which, if exercised, would result in the issuance of an additional 45,092,183 Common Shares. Other than as noted above, there have not been any material changes in the share and loan capital of the Corporation since September 30, 2021.

The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe any material change in, and the effect of such material change on, the share and loan capital of the Corporation that will result from the issuance of Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds to the Corporation from the sale of any Securities are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, including funding ongoing operations and/or working capital requirements, to repay any indebtedness outstanding from time to time and for discretionary capital programs. Specific information about the use of the net proceeds to the Corporation of any offering of Securities under this Prospectus and the specific business objectives which the Corporation expects to accomplish with such proceeds will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to that offering of Securities.

There may be circumstances where, based on results obtained or for other sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary or prudent. Accordingly, management of the Corporation will have broad discretion in the application of the proceeds of an offering of Securities. The actual amount that the Corporation spends in connection with each intended use of proceeds may vary significantly from the amounts specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and will depend on a number of factors, including those referred to under “ Risk Factors ” in this Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and any other factors set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Corporation may invest funds which it does not immediately use. Such investments may include short-term marketable investment grade securities. The Corporation may, from time to time, issue securities (including debt securities) other than pursuant to this Prospectus. See “ Risk Factors ”.

As at the date hereof, the Corporation has yet to generate any revenue from mining operations and is unlikely to do so in the immediate future. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Corporation had negative cash flow from operating activities. The Corporation anticipates it will continue to have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods until profitable commercial production is achieved at the Tamarack North Project. As a result, the Corporation may need to allocate a portion of its existing working capital or certain of the net proceeds from any offering of Securities to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods. See “ Risk Factors – Negative Operating Cash Flow and Additional Funding ”.

The net proceeds to any selling securityholder(s) from any secondary offering of Securities will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to that secondary offering of Securities. The Corporation will not receive any of the proceeds payable to any selling securityholder(s) under any secondary offering of Securities. See also “ Selling Securityholders ”.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Corporation or a selling securityholder may, during the 25-month period that this Prospectus remains valid, offer for sale and issue, as applicable, the Securities, separately or together: (a) to one or more underwriters or dealers; (b) through one or more agents; or (c) directly to one or more purchasers through applicable statutory exemptions. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent engaged in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, as well as the method of distribution and the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the net proceeds to the Corporation (or, if applicable, the selling securityholder(s)) and, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts, concessions or any other compensation payable to the underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms. Only underwriters, dealers

  • 6 -

or agents so named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, in connection with the Securities offered thereby.

The Securities may be sold, from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in NI 44-102, including sales made directly on an existing trading market for the Common Shares, such as the TSX, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution.

If, in connection with the offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Corporation.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Corporation (or, if applicable, the selling securityholder(s)) to indemnification by the Corporation (or, if applicable, the selling securityholder(s)) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Corporation (or, if applicable, the selling securityholder(s)) in the ordinary course of business.

Any offering of Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units will not be listed on any securities exchange. There is no market through which such Securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. Certain dealers may make a market in these Securities but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given that any dealer will make a market in such Securities or as to the liquidity of the trading market, if any, for such Securities. See “ Risk Factors ”.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may make sales of Securities in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an “at-the-market distribution” and subject to limitations imposed by and the terms of any regulatory approvals required and obtained under, applicable Canadian securities laws which includes sales made directly on an existing trading market for the Common Shares, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. In connection with any offering of Securities, except with respect to “at-the-market distributions” or as otherwise set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities, the underwriters, dealers or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. No underwriter, dealer or agent involved in an “at-the-market distribution”, no affiliate of such an underwriter, dealer or agent and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter, dealer or agent may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities or securities of the same class as the Securities distributed, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of securities that would result in the underwriter, dealer or agent creating an over-allocation position in the Securities.

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any states in the United States and may not be offered or sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in the United States or to, or for the account of, U.S. Persons absent registration or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these Securities within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons.

Participation Rights and Qualification Rights

On November 7, 2018, the Corporation entered into an investment agreement with Resource Capital Fund VI L.P. (“ RCF ”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Corporation granted RCF a contractual participation right in respect of equity financings provided RCF holds 10% or more of all Common Shares on a partially diluted basis.

The Corporation and RCF have entered into a qualification rights agreement (the “ Qualification Rights Agreement ”) pursuant to which, under certain circumstances and limitations, RCF has the right to require the Corporation to qualify Common Shares held by RCF under a prospectus by way of secondary offering. These qualification rights expire July 25, 2022. Pursuant to the Qualification Rights Agreement, RCF can qualify certain of its Common Shares under a prospectus offering initiated by the Corporation and, subject to certain limitations, can also require the Corporation to file a prospectus to complete a secondary offering on a maximum of two occasions during the term of the agreement. The Corporation is entitled to postpone any such request by RCF for a period of up to 90 days in certain circumstances including in the event that the Corporation is actively employing its best efforts to complete an equity offering and also in the event that the request is made 60 days after the filing of a final prospectus by the Corporation.

EARNINGS COVERAGE RATIO

Earnings coverage ratios will be provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to any issuance of Debt Securities having a term to maturity in excess of one year, as required by applicable securities laws.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

Pursuant to Talon’s memorandum of association under the BVI Act, it is authorized to issue one class and one series of shares divided into 100,000,000,000 Common Shares of no par value. The holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote per share at all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation either in person or by proxy. The holders of Common Shares are also entitled to dividends, if and when declared by the directors of the Corporation and the distribution of the residual assets of the Corporation in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. The Common Shares are not subject to call or assessment rights or any conversion rights, and other than the participation rights of RCF set out under “ Plan of Distribution – Participation Rights and Qualification Rights ”, the Common Shares are not subject to any pre-emptive rights. There are no redemption, retraction, purchase for cancellation, surrender, sinking or purchase fund provisions.

At the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation held on June 25, 2020, the shareholders of the Corporation approved the amended and restated shareholder rights plan agreement (the “ A&R Rights Plan ”) entered into between the Corporation and Computershare Investor Services Inc., as rights agent. The A&R Rights Plan aims to ensure that all shareholders are treated equally and fairly in the event of a transaction that could lead to a change in control of the Corporation. The A&R Rights Plan also gives the board of directors of the Corporation more time to assess any unsolicited bid that may be made for the Corporation in the future and to explore and develop alternatives for maximizing shareholder value. A copy of the A&R Rights Plan is available electronically under the profile of the Corporation at www.sedar.com.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Corporation has not declared dividends and has no current intention to declare dividends on its Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Any decision to pay dividends on its Common Shares in the future will be at the discretion of the Corporation’s board of directors and will depend on, among other things, the Corporation’s results of operations, current and anticipated cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, any future contractual restrictions and financing agreement covenants, solvency tests imposed by corporate law and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

The Corporation will issue Warrants under one or more warrant indentures to be entered into between the Corporation and a warrant agent named in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Each such warrant indenture, as supplemented or amended from time to time, will set out the terms and conditions of the applicable Warrants. The statements in this Prospectus relating to any warrant indenture and the Warrants to be issued under it are summaries of anticipated provisions of an applicable warrant indenture and do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of such warrant indenture, as applicable.

Therefore, the holder of a Unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each Security comprising the Unit. The agreement, if any, under which

See “ Plan of Distribution – Participation Rights and Qualification Rights ”.

PRIOR SALES

Information in respect of prior sales of Common Shares and other Securities distributed under this Prospectus and for securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares or such other Securities within the previous 12-month period will be provided, as required, in a Prospectus Supplement with respect to the issuance of Common Shares and/or other Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.

TRADING PRICE AND VOLUME

The outstanding Common Shares are traded on the TSX under the symbol “TLO”. Trading prices and volumes of the Common Shares for the previous 12-month period will be provided, as required, in each Prospectus Supplement.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Owning any of the Securities may subject holders to tax consequences. The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to investors described therein of purchasing, holding and disposing of applicable Securities, including, in the case of an investor who is not a resident of Canada, Canadian non-resident withholding tax consideration. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors prior to deciding to purchase any of the Securities.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors in a particular offering of the Securities should carefully consider, in addition to information contained in this Prospectus and in the Prospectus Supplement relating to that offering and the information incorporated by reference herein and therein for the purposes of that offering, the risk factors set forth in the Corporation’s then-current annual information form, as well as the Corporation’s then-current annual MD&A and interim MD&A, if applicable, to the extent incorporated by reference herein for the purposes of that particular offering of Securities.

Any such risk factors could materially affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition and/or future operating results and prospects and could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and forward-looking information relating to the Corporation. The risks described herein and therein are not the only risks facing the Corporation. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Corporation, or that the Corporation currently deems to be immaterial, may also materially and adversely affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition, operations or prospects.

In addition, the following risk factors should be carefully considered by investors:

There is No Market for Certain of the Securities

There is currently no trading market for any Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units that may be offered and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. No assurance can be given that an active or liquid trading market for such Securities will develop or be sustained. If an active or liquid market for such Securities fails to develop or be sustained, the prices at which such Securities trade may be adversely affected. Whether or not such Securities will trade at lower prices depends on many factors, including liquidity of such Securities, prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities, the market price of the Common Shares, general economic conditions and the Corporation’s financial condition, historic financial performance and future prospects.

Additional Financings

The continued development of the Corporation may require the Corporation to raise additional financing in the future through the issuance of additional equity securities or convertible debt securities. If the Corporation raises additional funding by issuing additional equity securities or convertible debt securities such financings may substantially dilute the interests of shareholders of the Corporation and reduce the value of their investment. Additional financings and share issuances may result in a substantial dilution to shareholders of the Corporation and decrease the value of the Corporation’s securities.

  • 13 -

The failure to raise or procure such additional funds as required could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of business objectives. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Corporation.

Volatility of Common Share Prices

The market prices for securities of mining companies, including those of the Corporation, historically have been volatile. Future developments concerning the Corporation or its industry, including downward fluctuations in the price of nickel and copper, may have a significant impact on the market price of the Common Shares.

Active Liquid Market for Common Shares

There may not be an active liquid market for the Common Shares. There is no guarantee that an active trading market for the Common Shares will be maintained on the TSX. Investors may not be able to sell their Common Shares quickly or at the latest market price if trading in the Common Shares is not active.

Discretion in the Use of Proceeds and Use of Available Funds

Management will have broad discretion concerning the use of the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities and the use of available funds, as well as the timing of their expenditures. Depending on fluctuations in nickel and copper prices and other factors, the intended use of proceeds from the offering of any Securities and use of available funds may change. As a result, an investor will be relying on the judgment of management for the application of the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities and use of available funds. Management may use the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities and available funds in ways that an investor may not consider desirable if they believe it would be in the best interests of the Corporation to do so. The results and the effectiveness of the application of proceeds from an offering of any Securities and available funds are uncertain. If the proceeds and available funds are not applied effectively, the Corporation’s results of operations may suffer.

Negative Operating Cash Flow and Additional Funding

The Corporation has limited financial resources and has no source of operating cash flow. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Corporation had negative cash flow from operating activities. The Corporation anticipates it will continue to have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods until profitable commercial production is achieved at the Tamarack North Project. There is no assurance that additional funding will be available to the Corporation for the exploration and development of its projects. Furthermore, additional financing will be required in order for the Corporation to complete a prefeasibility study on the Tamarack North Project and significant additional financing, whether through the issuance of additional securities and/or debt, will be required to continue the development of the Tamarack North Project and the Tamarack South Project generally. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain adequate additional financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of completion of a prefeasibility study on the Tamarack North Project and further development of the Tamarack North Project and the Tamarack South Project generally.

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to an offering of Securities, certain legal matters relating to the offering of Securities will be passed upon on behalf of the Corporation by Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP with respect to matters of Canadian law. As at the date hereof, the partners and associates of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP beneficially own, directly and indirectly, in the aggregate, less than 1.0% of the outstanding Common Shares.

In addition, certain legal matters in connection with any offering of Securities will be passed upon for any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel to be designated at the time of the offering by such underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, with respect to matters of Canadian and, if applicable, other foreign law.

EXEMPTION

Pursuant to a decision of the Autorité des marchés financiers dated November 16, 2021, the Corporation was granted a permanent exemption from the requirement that this Prospectus as well as the documents incorporated by reference herein and any Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference therein to be filed in relation to an “at-the-market distribution” be publicly filed in both the French and English languages. This exemption is granted on the condition that this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement (other than in relation to an “at-the-market distribution”) and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein be publicly filed in both the French and English languages if the Corporation offers Securities to Québec purchasers in connection with an offering other than in relation to an “at-the-market distribution”.

STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Unless provided otherwise in a Prospectus Supplement, the following is a description of a purchaser’s statutory rights. Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces and territories, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

In an offering of Securities which are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for other securities of the Corporation, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the prospectus is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the Securities which are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for other securities of the Corporation is offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of the Security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces and

  • 16 -

territories. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal advisor.

Original purchasers of Securities which are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for other securities of the Corporation will have a contractual right of rescission against the Corporation in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities. Other than in the case of an offering of warrants that may reasonably be regarded as incidental to the offering as a whole, the contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, upon surrender of the underlying securities, the original amount paid for the applicable convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities and any additional amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise thereof in the event that this Prospectus, the relevant Prospectus Supplement or an amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of such Securities under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of such Securities under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under Section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under Section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario) or otherwise at law.
