The Charitable Flow-Through Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act")). An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the Charitable Flow-Through Shares will be used to incur eligible resource exploration expenses which will qualify as (i) "Canadian exploration expenses" (as defined in the Tax Act), and (ii) as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" (as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act) (collectively, the "Qualifying Expenditures").

The Common Shares being offered under the CS Offering will not qualify as "flow-through shares" for the purposes of the Tax Act. The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds of the CS Offering for the projects of the Corporation and general corporate purposes.
The Corporation has agreed to pay the Agents a cash commission equal to a maximum of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and a number of broker warrants equal to a maximum of 6.0% of the Charitable Flow-Through Shares and Common Shares sold pursuant to the Offering. Each broker warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Corporation at a price of $1.10 per common share until the close of business on the date which is 24 months from the closing date of the Offering.
The Offering is expected to close on or about January 25, 2023 and is subject to certain closing conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the conditional listing approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada expiring four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering.
