The Company completed its "Qualifying Transaction" with Usha, Subco and the Investors, pursuant to which Usha and the Investors sold their respective interests in Subco and, indirectly, the Property, to Totec.
The Transaction was completed pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated October 22, 2025, as amended December 10, 2025, among Totec, Usha, Subco and the Investors (the "Definitive Agreement"). The purchase price paid by Totec for the Transaction was an aggregate of 35,500,000 Common Shares (defined herein) issued to the shareholders of Subco (5,500,000 of which were issued to Usha and 30,000,000 of which were issued to the Investors) and \$50,000 in cash paid to Usha. The name of the resulting issuer (the "Resulting Issuer") is "Totec Resources Ltd." No finder's fees were paid in connection with the Transaction.

The Property is now indirectly owned by the Company through Subco and is subject to the following net smelter return royalties ("NSRs"): (i) a 1.5% NSR in favour of 2758145 Ontario Ltd., two-thirds of which can be repurchased for \$1,000,000, and (ii) a 1.5% NSR in favour of Grid Metals Corp., two-thirds of which can be repurchased for \$1,250,000.
Immediately prior to the closing of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares on a two (2) to one (1) basis (each post-consolidation common share, a "Common Share"). The new ISIN and CUSIP of the Common Shares following the consolidation are CA89157M2040 and 89157M204, respectively.
The Resulting Issuer is classified as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer pursuant to Exchange policies. The Common Shares commenced trading on the Exchange under the symbol "TOTC" at the opening of the markets on January 22, 2026.

In connection with the Transaction, on January 19, 2026, Subco completed a private placement (the "Concurrent Financing"), through the issuance of 30,000,000 units of Subco (each, a "Unit") to the Investors at a price of \$0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of \$4,500,000. Each Unit was comprised of one (1) common share of Subco (a "Subco Share") and one (1) common share purchase warrant of Subco (a "Subco Warrant") entitling the holder thereof to acquire one (1) additional Subco Share at an exercise price of \$0.25 for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance.

As a result of the Transaction, (i) the Investors exchanged each Subco Share held for one (1) Common Share (ii) each Subco Warrant became automatically exercisable into one (1) Common Share at an exercise price of \$0.25 for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance, and (iii) each Finder's Warrant became automatically exercisable
