PART 3: USE OF AVAILABLE FUNDS
What will our available funds be upon the closing of the offering?
Available Funds
The net proceeds of the offering and the funds which will be available to the Company after this Offering are as follows:
| A. | Amount to be raised by this Offering | $150,000 |
| B. | Selling commissions and fees | $0 |
| C. | Estimated offering costs (e.g., legal, accounting, audit) | $15,000 |
| D. | Net proceeds of offering: D = A - (B+C) | $135,000 |
| E. | Working capital as at most recent month end (deficiency)(1) | ($1,484,404) |
| F. | Additional sources of funding(1) | $350,000 |
| G. | Total available funds: G = D+E+F | ($999,404)(2) |
Notes:
(1) The Company is also completing an additional private placement financing of 4,666,666 units at a price of $0.075 per unit for total gross proceeds of $350,000, with each unit comprising of one common share in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant exercisable for 12 months at $0.18 per warrant, provided that if the daily volume weighted average closing price of the common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange is at least $0.22 per Common Share for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days, the Company may, within 5 days of such event, accelerate the expiry date of the warrants by giving notice warrant holders by way of news release, in which case the warrants will expire within 10 calendar days from the date on which such notice is given by the Company.
(2) The Company carries a working capital deficit in the ordinary course of its business, which is managed and financed through receipt of financing as necessary and ultimately on its ability to dispose of its mineral property interests on a profitable basis or otherwise achieve profitable operations.
How will we use the available funds?
The Company plans to allocate the net proceeds of the Offering for projected general and administrative expenses and marketing.
| Description of intended use of available funds listed in order of priority | |
|---|---|
| General and administrative expenses | $385,000 |
| Marketing | $100,000 |

The available funds will not be paid to insiders, associates or affiliates of the Company, except for normal course compensation.
- 7 -
The above allocation represents the Company's current intentions with respect to its use of available funds based on management's current knowledge, planning and expectations. Actual use of funds may differ from the estimates above for a number of reasons, including as a result of circumstances where, for sound business reasons, the Company determines it should reallocate the available funds; provided, however, that such uses will not include a significant acquisition, a restructuring transaction, or any transaction requiring approval of the Company's security holders.
The most recent interim financial statements contained a going concern note (Period Ended September 30, 2024):
"The Company has an accumulated deficit of $13,200,204 as at September 30, 2024. The Company currently does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its operational requirements for the next fiscal year. The Company's continued operations are dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of its mineral properties and to bring them into future profitable production or realize proceeds from their dispositions. The Company has not yet determined whether the mineral properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. All of the preceding indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the financial statements."
The Offering is not anticipated to address any of the uncertainties underlying the "going concern note" contained in the Company's financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern will remain dependent on raising additional capital to fund its development plans and ultimately to attain profitable operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Accordingly, there remains material uncertainty that casts substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Ultimately, in the event that the Company cannot obtain additional financial resources, or achieve profitable operations, it may need to liquidate its business interests and investors may lose their investment. Such financial resources may not be available, or may not be available on reasonable terms.
How have we used the other funds we have raised in the past 12 months?
